Role you're checking

Professional Weightlifter

Service

Professional weightlifters in India compete under the Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWLF) across IWF-sanctioned weight classes (49/55/61/67/73/81/89/96/+96kg for men; 45/49/55/59/64/71/76/87/+87kg for women) at Khelo India Games, national championships, Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, and the Olympics. India's global moment arrived when Mirabai Chanu won silver at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Jeremy Lalrinnunga won gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games — both products of the national camp system at NIS Patiala under chief national coach Vijay Sharma and backed by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) TOPS scheme. The day-to-day reality is 4-6 hours of structured training — snatch, clean & jerk, and assistance lifts — managed around peaking and tapering cycles for IWLF-sanctioned tournaments, strict weight-class management, and mandatory NADA (National Anti-Doping Agency) testing. Entry into the national system typically runs through state federations, Khelo India programmes, or Army/Railways sports quotas that provide both a salary and training infrastructure.
