Hubbard, who was the oldest competitor in the weightlifting event in Tokyo at 43-years-old, was unable to complete any of her three lifts.
Although she cleared the bar above her head in the second round, which she celebrated with clenched fists, the attempt was ultimately declared a no lift.
According to the rules, athletes are automatically eliminated from the competition if they do not record at least one valid lift in each of the two parts.
China’s Li Wenwen ultimately scored the gold after lifting 140kg in the snatch and 180kg in the clean jerk, a record for both categories.
