If Mirabai gave Indian fans some anxious moments after a slight stumble following her third snatch lift on Saturday, Bindyarani Sorokhaibam turned in a dramatic last lift in the Clean & Jerk at 116kg to turn a probable bronze into a fine silver on Sunday. Competing late in the evening after India had won one gold, one silver and one bronze in the three previous categories, Bindyarani delighted the fans with a silver medal.

“I’m very happy to get a silver in my first CWG,” she said, before quickly adding: “Today was my life’s best performance… [but, I feel] gold slipped out of my hand. I failed to finish in the centre [gold medal position] of the podium. I will surely do better next time.”
