Indian weightlifting team finished with a record tally of 10 medals at the Commonwealth Games 2022. One big medal prospect in Purnima Pandey however missed out as she finished a disappointing sixth in the women’s +87kg event. Pandey managed just two lifts, which is the bare minimum required to register a total, for an aggregate of 228kg (103kg+ 125kg) at the NEC here. In her last two clean and jerk attempts of 133kg, the barbell slipped out of her hands before she could complete ‘clean’.

Manika Batra has had a difficult campaign in CWG 2022 so far. The TT star has lost in women's team, singles and mixed doubles as well. Last time, in 2018, she had won four medals and hopefully whe will save her the embarrassment of coming back this year without any medal by winning the women's doubles competition.
