Singh lifted a total of 355 kg (snatch 163 kg + clean and jerk 192 kg) to extend India's medal streak to fourteen overall and ninth medal in weightlifting. The nation have already won three gold, three silver and three bronze medals so far.
Loverpreet kickstarted his snatch event with a lift of 157 kg. He then went on to successfully lift 161 kg and 163 kg, respectively, in his second and third attempts, finishing second after the snatch round.
