[dalapathi]

 

Glasgow: India opened its medal count in CWG with Manipuri girls Sanjita Khumukcham and Mirabai Chanu Saikhom winning the gold and silver, respectively, in the women's 48kg category of weightlifting competitions at the Clyde Auditorium here Thursday.

 

The two medals were India's first from the 2104 Commonwealth Games and they are now third in the medals tally followed by England and Australia. Sanjita had a total lift of 173 kg while Mirabai had 170kg. The bronze went to Nigeria's Nkechi Opara with a total lift of 162kg.

 

India are also assured of two more medals as judokas Navjot Chana and Shushila Likmabam made it to the final of their respective categories at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC). India are also in the contention for a bronze medal as Kalpana Thoudam will face Christianne Legentil in the women's -52kg category.

 

But it was double delight for India from weightlifting.
