Explanation: India’s first gold medal of the opening day of the 2018 Commonwealth Games came in a stunning fashion from world champion and CWG record holder Saikhom Mirabai Chanu in the 53kg category. She broke six records in six lifts to finish first with a combined effort of 196kg to smash her previous career best of 194kg. This was Saikhom’s second CWG medal following the silver she won in Glasgow four years ago. However, India’s first medal of the games came through weightlifter P. Gururaja. He claimed a silver medal in the men’s 56kg category in Gold Coast on 5 April 2018, before Chanu's golden lift. He equalled his personal best of 249kg (111+138) to finish second after Malaysia’s three-time Commonwealth Championships medallist Muhammad Izhar Ahmed (117+144). .............Check More at INDIA GK" App: tinyurl.com/IndiaGK
