Commonwealth Games: President of India congratulates Bindyarani Devi for the Silver medal win

President Droupadi Murmu congratulated Bindyarani Devi after she brought home fourth medal of this edition of Commonwealth Games.

India now has four medals after Bindyarani Devi’s remarkable victory in the women’s 55 kg weightlifting event at the Commonwealth Games 2022. When she failed in her second 114-kg clean and jerk attempt, she appeared to be on track for a bronze. She did, however, attempt 116 kg with her final lift and managed to land in second place, finishing with just 1 kg less than Nigeria’s Adijat Olarinoye, who won the gold medal.

“Congratulations to Bindyarani Devi for winning Silver in Weightlifting at Commonwealth Games. You have put up your best ever performance at the Games and demonstrated the zeal to raise the bar. Every Indian shares the joy of your success,” tweeted President of India
