Weightlifting, Men's 79kg: Ajaya Babu Valluri to take centre stage

Ajaya Babu Valluri will be the next Indian in action, competing in men's 79kg weightlifting. Much like all the Indians in the sport, Ajaya will also start as a strong medal contender.

He'll start at 145kg in snatch and 175kg in clean & jerk. It is the joint highest for both along with Malaysia's Erry Hidayat Muhammad. Expect a cracking contest...

It is slated to start at 12:30 am IST, but Ajaya will start lifting much later.
