After a while India was lucky to win Gold medal in the same category i.e. Weight lifting but this time in Women’s Category (48 KG) by well acclaimed 23 year old  Saikhom Mirabai Chanu.

Poojary has lifted a total of 249 Kg which includes 111Kg in snatch, 138 Kg in clean and jerk. He is also a bronze medal holder in CWG Championships which was held in 2016. Chanu received the medal by her stunning achievement of lifting a total of 196 Kg including 86 kg in snatch and 110kg in Clean and jerk.

Saikhom’s performance has been hailed by her successor Padma Shri Karnam Malleshwari who holds record of winning medal at the Olympic Games.
