IWF Asian Weightlifting Championships 2024 Day 6 Recap – Female 81 kg

Day 6 of this continental competition displayed that despite high expectations and goals, female lifters showed quite shaky results: the scoreboard was almost red because of multiple no-lifts in Snatch and Clean & Jerk exercises.

Although the strongest lifters did their best to get the desired awards and defeat their contenders during the intensive performance.
