Indian women weightlifters put up an impressive show, winning two silver and four bronze at the Asian Weightlifting Championships in Dubai.

Shailaja Pujari bagged the silver medal in the 75 kg category while Nansita Devi won three bronze medals in 69 kg, Indian Weightlifting Federation said.

Shailaja lifted 239 kg overall for her silver-winning effort. China's Zang Shaoling won the gold medal hoisting 244 kg while Kazakhistan's Irina Valkova also lifted 239 kg but had to be satisfied with a bronze as the Indian had a lighter body weight, IWF president H J Dora said.

Shaileja also claimed the bronze in the snatch and a silver medal in the clean and jerk event.

Earlier, Nansita won three bronze medals in the women's 69 kg class. She hoisted 93 kg in the snatch and 110 kg in the clean and jerk for a combined lift of 203 kg on Wednesday.

In the men's section, India's four-member team failed to impress with a sixth place finish being the best performance among them.
