Indian weightlifter Achinta Sheuli finished second in the 73kg group B competition at the Asian Championship here on Tuesday. The Commonwealth Championship gold medallist lifted 309kg -- 139kg in snatch followed by 170kg in clean and jerk.

The Indian had the best snatch lift (139kg) in the four-man field. However, he failed to lift 174kg in his final clean and jerk attempt which would have seen him top the group. Kazakhstan`s Sairamkez Akmolda 310kg (130kg+180kg) finished first in the group. Achinta`s final standing will be determined after the end of the group A proceedings. India has won two medals in the ongoing continental event. Ace weightlifter and former world champion Mirabai Chanu and Odisha`s Jhilli Dalabehera bagged the bronze and gold medals respectively last week. Olympic-bound Mirabai smashed the world record in the women`s 49kg clean and jerk en-route her bronze.
