A Dunedin woman is returning home from this year's Oceania Championships in Fiji with a bronze medal for olympic weightlifting.

Amanda Gould finished third in the 69kg weight class with a total lift of 168kg.

That was made up of a 77kg snatch and a 91kg clean and jerk.

The 29-year-old was beaten by two Fijian women in her weight class.

Other New Zealand olympic weightlifters secured a gold, a silver and four bronze medals at the tournament.
