Overview
- Martina Devi finished fifth in the women's +86kg at the Commonwealth Games with a 245kg total made up of a 105kg snatch and a 140kg clean and jerk.
- Her result on Thursday was decided on countback after she matched New Zealand’s Tui‑Alofa Patolo on total but had more failed attempts.
- Martina failed her first two snatch attempts at 103kg, then followed head coach Vijay Sharma’s tactical call to increase to 105kg and nailed the lift on her third attempt to stay in the contest.
- She opened the clean and jerk with a successful 140kg but could not convert attempts at 144kg and 146kg, leaving her total unchanged and closing medal chances.
- The performance capped an emotional CWG debut that underlined her recovery from a career‑threatening ACL injury and reinforced her status as a national-record holder and long‑term prospect for India’s weightlifting team while England’s Emily Campbell won gold with a Commonwealth Games record.
