Overall, it was very competitive because the Sri Lankan weightlifters are very good,” said Mabia after bagging gold. India also didn’t take part in this event where Ajay Singh lifted 305kg to win gold in 2016. Bangladesh weightlifters however, don’t even have a gymnasium of their own. It was also the best achievement for Bangladesh Fencing Association that started its journey in 2007. All the fencers were seen celebrating the gold with Fatema in the middle.
