WEIGHTLIFTING
As expected, N. Ajith of RSPB clinched the senior men’s 73kg gold with a total lift of 313 kg in the National weightlifting championships here on Monday.
Facing stiff competition from L. Sadananda Singh of Services, Ajith was under pressure to perform as the Services lifter matched the reigning clean & jerk record holder (174) for a good part of the contest. Sadananda fought tooth and nail but had to settle for silver with a total of 296.
The 23-year-old Vellore-based lifter, however, was not happy with his lifts. “Before the contest, I had wanted to create a new record in clean & jerk and total. But once I failed to lift 165kg in clean & jerk in my first attempt, I knew my hopes of a record were as good as over,” said Ajith.
The results:
Senior: Men: 73kg: 1. N. Ajith (RSPB) 143, 170, 313; 2. Sadananda Singh (SSCB) 137, 159, 296; 3. Mihir Kanta Sethi (Odi) 126, 160, 286.
Junior men: 73kg: 1. Kiran Marahe (Mah) 122, 155, 277; 2. Shiva Choudhary (Del) 123, 150, 273; 3. Prabal Protim Gogoi (Asm) 119, 154, 273.
Youth men: 73kg: 1. Sairaj Pardeshi (Mah) 117, 139, 256; 2. Sharthak Thapa (Goa) 111, 143, 254; 3. S. Parandhaman (TN) 113, 140, 253.
