WEIGHTLIFTER Vikas Thakur needs no introduction as he has won a bagful of medals for the country. He has tasted success at every platform over the years but the lifter seems to have a special liking for the Commonwealth Games. In 2014 with the 85kg silver in Glasgow, Vikas became the first Indian to win a medal in higher weight categories at the event. He followed it up with 94kg bronze in the next edition at Gold Coast.
Pressure must be on him when he took the platform at NEC Hall 1 on Tuesday but the 28-year-old Vikas staved off stiff challenges from Fiji, Cyprus and England lifters to clinch a silver medal in 96kg. With it, he also completed a hattrick of medals at the quadrennial event.
