Indian lifters continued their impressive show at the Commonwealth Youth and Junior Weightlifting Championships winning seven more medals, including three gold, on the second day of the competition at Penang, Malaysia, on Tuesday. Yukar Sibi and Papul Changmai won the gold in junior men's 62kg and 69kg categories, respectively, while Reena bagged the yellow metal in junior women's 63kg.
Ajay also smashed the national record in the clean and jerk event by lifting more than double his body weight (190kg) to score vital points at the Olympic qualifying event.
