CWG 2022: Weightlifter Harjinder Kaur Wins Bronze In Women’s 71kg

Birmingham: On day 4 of the Commonwealth Games 2022, India’s Harjinder Kaur won the bronze in the women’s 71 kg weightlifting. Harjinder Kaur lifted 113 Kg in the first attempt of the clean and jerk round, thus becoming very much a medal contender in that attempt itself.

Earlier in the day, judoka Shushila Devi Likmabam had to settle for a silver after she lost in the 48kg judo final against Michaela Whitebooi of South Africa.
