While the Asian Games remain the big-ticket event of the year for the elite athletes, other Indian weightlifters will get a chance to impress at home during the Commonwealth Senior, Junior and Youth Championships (July 12-16) and the Asian Junior & Youth Championships (July 28-August 5), both slated to be held later this month in Greater Noida.
With top Indian names including Mirabai Chanu missing, the competitions will help others prove themselves. Mirabai, alongwith Bindyarani Devi, is currently training in St. Louis, USA. Both have been named in the squad for the World Championships and Asian Games later this year.
