Busan: The Indian weightlifters continued to disappoint as Pratima Kumari finished fifth in the women's 63 kg category in the 14th Asian Games on Thursday.

With three of the lifters already having crashed out after the fist three days of competitions, Pratima joined them with a no-medal show on another dismal day in the weightlifting arena.

Pratima managed a total lift of 205kg, which was the same as Kazakhstan's Olga Sablina. However the Kazakhstan lifter edged her out for the fourth place by virtue of lighter body weight.

Pratima managed to lift 90 kg in snatch and 115 kg in clean and jerk but the effort was not good enough for a podium finish. The gold in the event went to Xia Lui of China who lifted a total of 240 kg leaving the others in the fray far behind.

Myammar's Moe Nwe (220 kg) and Taipei's Ping Chun Kuo (217.5 kg) took the silver and bronze medals respectively. With four of the five-member weightlifting team having completed their engagements, only Shailaja Pujari remained to join the action in the women's 75 kg category.
