Indian juggernaut keeps rolling on at CWG

New Delhi: Putting up an inspired display, India's athletes gave a big impetus to the country's ambitious target of finishing second in the Commonwealth Games by hauling up 13 medals, including six gold, on a productive third day on Wednesday.

India continued to rule the roost at the Dr Karni Singh shooting range by grabbing six medals, including three gold, while more success came from the weightlifing arena and wrestling mat, ensuring that the hosts retained the second position behind Australia.

Weightlifters Renu Bala Chanu (women's 58kg) and K Ravi Kumar (69kg), who also set a new Games record, along with 55kg Greco-Roman grappler Rajender Kumar, provided the last three gold to make it the most fruitful day for the country.
