Some unfortunate news coming in from TT, as India have conceded their first match loss of this Commonwealth Games 2022 edition.

Ahead of Clean & Jerk then, Mirabai Chanu leads with 12kg of a bonus to her name.

She's marked her first C&J attempt at 105kg, the next best attempt 15kg behind at 90.

Oooh, a terrific attempt, but in vain! Nevertheless, the whole crowd erupts in support of Chanu, a champion lifter who has some zeal and is at the peak of her powers.

Well, well! She's pushed her boundaries even further, the attempt is now worth 90kg!

Mirabai Chanu has shattered her personal record! She is UNSTOPPABLE!

An 88kg attempt it was from Chanu, 1 kg more than her personal best and now she has a 12kg lead over the 2nd placed Ranaivosoa!

Chanu will next attempt 88kg!

Seems like she's keen to break her personal record, would be some achievement if she manages to pull it off!

How does she make it so easy?? Mirabai Chanu has absolutely nailed the 84kg attempt!

Her personal best is 87kg, but in context of this final, she already has 8 kg of a cushion ahead of her next closest competitor.

Mirabai Chanu is now here, and she's gearing up for her first attempt!

Last set of participants before we move on to Mirabai Chanu in the Women's 49kg category, snatch attempt.

We're now getting through the lower rung of participants before we move on to participants who have marked a high attempt, including India's Mirabai Chanu.

Time now for Mirabai Chanu!

To give context to why she's the clear favourite for gold, her first attempt mark in Snatch is listed at 80kg, while Clean & Jerk is at 105 kg.

Her next closest competitor - at least in terms of mark set - is at 70kg and 90kg respectively. That's quite some confidence, isn't it?
