CWG 2018 : Indian Weightlifters to watch out for

1) Sathish Sivalingam

Sathish Sivalingam roared after setting the Games record

Sathish Sivalingam will be competing in the -77 kg category. Sathish Sivalingam won the Gold Medal in the -77kg with 149 kg snatch, and 179 kg clean and jerk lifts, totalling 328 kg. His lift of 149 kg in the snatch, set a new Commonwealth Games record. He was also a part of the Indian Delegation at the Rio Olympics where he finished at 11th place. He was also honoured with the Arjuna Award for weightlifting. Sivalingam's experience will be at stake in the Games. We would definitely love to see Sivalingam retaining his Gold Medal.

2) Vikas Thakur

Vikas Thakur will be competing in the -94 kg category. Vikas Thakur is a resident of Ludhiana, Punjab. He won the silver medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in -85 kg category. He has proved to be a young sensation in the Indian weightlifting. He would be definitely hoping to change his colour of medal from Silver to Gold at the Games.
