Glasgow Weightlifting: Singh’s 388kg Total Yields Silver, Gold Goes to New Zealand

In the men’s 110 kg plus competition at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, Lavpreet Singh lifted a combined 388 kg to secure the silver medal for India. His snatch attempts peaked at 176 kg, while his clean‑and‑jerk best was 212 kg. New Zealand’s David Liti lifted 389 kg – just one kilogram more – and took the gold, while England’s Andrew Griffiths lifted 356 kg for bronze. Singh missed a 217 kg clean‑and‑jerk on his final try, a lift that would have put him on top. He praised his coaching staff, highlighted the support of Vijay Sharma, WFIO president Sahdev, and Navy Captain Vijay Kumar, and vowed to aim for a better result at the upcoming Asian Games.
