At the National Exhibition Centre in Solihull, Gurdeep Singh lifted a total of 390 kg (167 kg in the snatch and 223 kg in the clean and jerk) to win the bronze medal. Gurdeep Singh, 26, entered the clean and jerk section in the top five after his lone successful snatch attempt, a 167kg lift. Nooh Dastgir Butt, a Pakistani who won bronze at the 2018 Gold Coast Olympics, led the 11-man field with a 173kg snatch.
The Indian lifted 207 kg in the clean and jerk section on his first try, but the panel ruled that his second lift of 215 kg was improper.
