Indian weightlifter Bindyarani Devi was quick to make amends after an underwhelming performance in snatch section as she clinched an overall silver in the women's 55kg competition at the Asian Championships here on Saturday.
India's Bindyarani Devi wins silver at Asian C'ships

The Commonwealth Games silver medallist had a total effort of 194kg (83kg+111kg), as she opened India's medal tally in this edition of the championship.

She also won the silver in the clean and jerk section. However, the medals are in a non-Olympic weight category.

The Manipuri had two failed lifts- one each in snatch and clean jerk.

But a gold medal would have been out of her grasp even if she had completed those two lifts.

Chen Guan Ling of Chinese Taipei won the gold with a 204kg (90kg+114kg) effort while Vietnams Vo Thi Quynh Nhu 192kg (88kg+104kg) bagged the bronze in a depleted field.

The top lifters in 55kg have either bulked up or moved down weight classes in order to qualify for the Paris Games next year.
