Sanket lifts 135kgs on his first C&J attempt. The Malaysian has set his starting weight at 140kg.
Meanwhile, Nitender Rawat is at 12th spot in the Marathon with around half an hour left.
Sanket's troubles in C&J
Sanket has a big 6-kg lead for the gold medal now but he has known to stutter in the C&J section. He had failed all 3 C&J attempts during the 2021 World Championships - His 3 attempts had been 139, 139, 140. His first attempt here is 135.
Let's hope he has no such problems today.
