The Indian duo of T Madhavan and Muna Nayak finished fourth and sixth respectively in the men’s 61kg category at the IWF Junior World Weightlifting Championships in Heraklion, Greece.
Madhavan, 18, aggregated 263kg (118kg+145kg) to finish fourth, missing the podium by five kgs on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Muna achieved a total weight of 258kg (113kg+145kg) to end up sixth in the 10-lifter field.
The 19-year-old failed to lift 150kg in his final clean and jerk attempt, but had the Odisha lifter succeeded, he would have won the silver medal in the section.
The gold medal went to USA’s Hampton Morris for a total effort of 276kg (116kg+160kg).
He smashed the clean and jerk junior men’s world record when he lifted the 160kg barbell in his third attempt.
