We are just under 15 minutes away from live action from the women's 67kg final at the Paris Paralympics. To talk a little bit more about Rajamani, she joined competitive para-powerlifting at the age of 35. Four years down the line, she's representing India at the Paralympics.

It's not a great start for the Indian in her first attempt to 106kg as she two reds from the officials. However, she will go for 106kg again in her second try.

Talk about confidence, talk about skill. China’s Tan Yujiao, the two-time Paralympic gold medallist lifts 134kg on her first attempt to go on top of the board. As clean a lift as they come.

It’s a successful, good, 106kg lift from Kasthuri but not good enough to be close to the medal positions. She remains eighth overall, and will look to lift 110kg in her last try.
