In her first attempt in the women’s 48 kg clean and jerk category, Mirabai lifted 105 kg, which was good enough for gold. The battle-hardened Mirabai, 31, lifted a total of 190kg, proving she never faced a threat at the top end, lifting 22kg more than silver medalist Ruth Nyong of Nigeria (168kg). The bronze went to Malaysia’s Irene Henry (167 kg). Also en route, he lifted 85kg in the snatch to create a new Games record and a new Commonwealth record. “It was a good performance, and it went as we planned. We knew 105kg would be enough for her in the clean and jerk category, so she didn’t take much pressure to lift more. Asian gamesso we want to make sure she doesn’t take more load than needed,” Mirabai’s coach Vijay Sharma told TOI. “Although Mirabai made it look very easy, we did not take the competition lightly. I am happy that Mira has become the only lifter to win three golds and one silver at the Commonwealth Games,” added the coach. Earlier, another lifter from Manipur, Rishikanta Singh, helped India add a silver to their tally. Rishikanta took second place in the men’s 60kg competition after lifting 264kg and equaling the Commonwealth record in the snatch category. Rishikanta lifted 121 kg in snatch and started the clean and jerk with a successful lift of 143 kg in his first attempt. However, he failed in his attempt to lift 148kg and 151kg in the next two attempts, due to knee discomfort. Rishikanta had entered the clean and jerk category in the lead, with Malaysia’s Bin Kasdan Mohamad Aniq, who had also lifted 121 kg in snatch. The Malaysian went ahead in the clean and jerk by lifting 149kg in his first attempt, followed by a successful 152kg lift in the clean and jerk to take his total to a Games record 273kg. “I came here for the gold. After the snatch, I was in the leading position, but my knee created a problem. I could clean the weight, but I couldn’t push because one thigh wasn’t working properly. I tried my best,” Rishikanta told PTI. Kenya’s Joshua Amunga Mboya took bronze with a total lift of 260kg (115kg + 145kg).
