So far, Weightlifting has been the most successful contingent for the Indians, bringing home six gold medals medals from the Games, with just four days being over.

The likes of Mirabai Chanu, Sanjita Chanu, Sathish Sivalingam, Ragala Vekat Rahul and Seema are the ones who have won gold for India.

Sunday saw the addition of more spots, as Manu Bhaker, and Heena Sidhu were the two shooters who ended the Indian weightlifters’ dominance, as they won a silver and a gold in the Women’s 10m Air Rifle event.

However, the most unextected medal was won by the Indian women’s Table Tennis team, which earned a shock win over favourites Singapore in the summit clash.
