Indian weightlifter Punam Yadav won the sixth gold medal at the Commonwealth Games winning in the Women's 69kg weightlifting event.
The previous five medals have also been won in the same category so far. Yadav lifted a total of of 222kg (100 snatch and 122 clean and jerk) to beat England's Sarah Davies - her closest competitor - to take her second medal at the Commonwealth Games.
She had previously won the bronze medal in Glasgow Games in 2014.
On Sunday, England's Sarah Davies took silver with 217 kg, while Apolonia Vaivai (216 kg) got bronze.
22-year-old Yadav finished after lifting 100kg in her final attempt in the snatch and then sweapt a clean and jerk lifting 118 kg in her first attempt. In a close contest, she failed to lift 122kg in her second clean and jerk attempt, but a clean lift on the third saw her confirm the medal.
Yadav had claimed a silver at last year's Commonwealth Championships last year, her first event after making the jump from 63kg to 69kg category.
