'Papa ko gold ka promise kiya tha, silver aaya, par wo khush hain' (I had promised my father a gold medal but he is happy with the silver I won), Indian weightlifter Sanket Sargar told TimesofIndia.com from Birmingham after he opened the country's medal count at the Commonwealth Games by claiming a silver in the men's 55kg category.

He was recalling the promise he had made to his father Mahadev Ananda Sargar who runs a 'paan' and tea shop in Sangli, Maharashtra. "I hope this medal will change my family's fortunes. I don't want my father to run a 'paan' shop anymore," Sanket told TimesofIndia.com barely a few hours after clinching the silver medal on Saturday.
