Weightlifters have been the star performers for India at the 2022 Commonwealth Games so far, and the trend continued on day 3 as 20-year-old Achinta Sheuli smashed the Games record by lifting a total of 313kg to win the gold medal in the men's 73kg category. Sheuli first broke the Games record twice in the Snatch round, lifting 140kg and 143kg. He then lifted 166kg and 170kg in the clean and jerk round to register a Games record for the overall weight.

Commonwealth Games with two more weightlifting events lined up on Monday. The judokas will also be in fray for the first time in the Games.
“This is a Samoan magic necklace, which we use for good luck and friendship,” Loane is said to have whispered into the Indian’s ear, in those scant moments before national anthems are played, flags are unfurled and the tears flow. “You, Jeremy are my friend, and this is my way of showing respect,” the 34-year-old nodded to his much-younger, prodigious colleague. Just 19, Jeremy Lalrinnuna was already garnering the respect of his much-older colleagues. It was their way of saying that his time has come. “When we compete against each other, I would not like to give him an inch. I play hard,” he would tell us later.
Jessica Gordon-Brown reflected fondly on the “happy accident” that led to her pursuing weightlifting after claiming Commonwealth Games silver in the women’s 59kg final.
Canada's Tali Darsigny won bronze in the women's 59-kilogram weightlifting competition on Sunday at the Commonwealth Games.
Commonwealth Games (CWG), but not without a feeling and a sentiment that elite-level athletes can have but rarely show when there's lack of competition -- that it gets 'boring'. En route to a hat-trick of CWG medals, the Tokyo Olympics silver medallist knocked off milestones effortlessly. The Commonwealth and Games records in 'Snatch' were the first to fall. By the time she missed lifting 115kg in her third clean and jerk (C&J) attempt, she had already rewritten the Games record in C&J as well as in the total weight.
