CWG 2026: Sanjana's Campaign Ends Abruptly After Snatch Heartbreak In Women's 77kg
Did Not Finish: India's hopes of adding another weightlifting medal to its impressive Commonwealth Games 2026 haul suffered a setback on Wednesday after teenage lifter Sanjana bowed out of the women's 77kg competition without registering a successful lift in the snatch phase.
The 19-year-old, competing in her maiden Commonwealth Games, was unable to clear her opening weight of 94kg despite three attempts, bringing her campaign to an unexpected end before the clean and jerk segment even began.
Under competition rules, athletes must record at least one valid snatch lift to remain in contention. With no successful effort on the board, Sanjana was eliminated from the contest, denying her the opportunity to compete in the clean and jerk, a discipline in which she had been expected to make significant gains.
