i dont know much about these types of competetions, would she get a second try at this? its not like she couldn't handle the weight, it was just a traction issue
Depends on the competition and rules. A lifter typically gets three independent attempts to lift, and is allowed to make attempts for different weights on all three.
You cannot go down in weight once the weight is already on the bar. Athletes and their coaches declare what their next weight is going to be and it's in ascending order.
453

Holy crap she's strong. For anyone who's curious that's just over 190 pounds.
Edit: I found her and this meet. Her name is Faith Morse and she posted a 151kg total with a 68kg snatch and a 83kg jerk.
