Aisengfa, who had missed out on a medal in the Khelo India Youth Games in Chennai last year, began her campaign with a 75kg lift in snatch followed by clean lifts of 79kg and 81kg.
En route, Aisengfa equalled the snatch record of Mina Santa of Odisha at 81kg which she had created at the World Youth Championship in Suva, Fiji, last year. In Rajgir on Sunday, Mina settled for a silver medal with total lift of 177kg (80+97) and Andhra Pradesh’s Hema Sri Karangi took home the bronze medal with overall lift of 164kg (72+92).
