At the Commonwealth Games, Singh’s snatch of 176 kg broke the previous Games mark, marking a historic moment for Indian weightlifting. He followed the lift with a clean‑and‑jerk of 212 kg, bringing his total to 388 kg and earning a silver medal. A third attempt at 217 kg fell short, denying him a possible gold and another record. Nonetheless, his 176 kg snatch remains the highest ever recorded at the event, highlighting his technical prowess and strength.
