What have you done, Punam!
Punam Yadav successfully lifts 116kg in third attempt and that could have won her the medal. But she drops the bar even before the buzzer and that leads to an error and it is no lift. India challenged but the jury has rejected it. She leaves the venue in anger, over her mistake.

Punam Yadav delivers the goods in the 2nd attempt. With some effort, she lifts 95 kg in her 2nd attempt at Snatch. She did lose her balance but maintained her calm to lift it eventually. A start has happened at least. She will lift 96 kg in her third and last attempt in Snatch.
Women's 76 kg Weightlifting
Poor start for Punam Yadav as she fails to lift 95 kg in her 1st attempt at Snatch. No increase in her 2nd attempt. She will lift 95 kg and let's hope she gets that right.

India have secured the silver but it could well be a gold medal and that would take India up in the medals tally as well. Right now, the medals tally will show only 9. Punam Yadav could also help India increase the number in an hour or two.
