Sanket Mahadev Sargar brought in India’s first silver medal of the Commonwealth Games 2022 in a competition, where he should have been the gold medal favourite. Though Sargar seemed to have injured himself during the clean & jerk segment of the contest, it could have been a recurrence of an old problem.

Sargar totalled 248kg with 113kg in snatch and 135kg in clean & jerk, while the gold medal was claimed by Malaysian Mohammed Aniq Bin Kasdan (107 kg plus 142 kg). Sri Lanka’s Dilanka Kumara Yodage with 225 kg (105 kg plus 120kg) won bronze.
