India at Hangzhou Asian Games 2023: Weightlifting schedule, contingent, live streaming details

Indian weightlifters have bagged 14 medals in the Continental meet.

Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu, a former world champion, Commonwealth Games champion, and Olympic silver medalist, is set to make her Asian Games debut at Hangzhou 2023 after missing the last edition due to injury. She's determined to leave a strong first impression, even skipping the World Weightlifting Championships to prepare for the quadrennial extravaganza.

Mirabai Chanu will compete in the women's 49kg division, while Bindyarani Devi, a Commonwealth Games silver medalist, will participate in the women's 55kg category. India will be represented by only two weightlifters in the Asiad's.

The weightlifting events are scheduled at the Xiaoshan Sports Centre Gymnasium from September 30th to October 7th, featuring competitions in seven men's and seven women's divisions. Both Mirabai Chanu and Bindyarani Devi will showcase their talents on September 30.

In the previous Asian Games, the Indian weightlifting contingent returned empty-handed, failing to secure any medals. Weightlifting has been a consistent part of the Asian Games, contributing to India's total of 14 medals, including five silvers and nine bronze medals, in the continental multi-sport event's history.
