New Delhi: Indian weightlifters Sivalingam Sathish Kumar and Saikhom Mirabai Chanu on Friday earned the right to compete at the Rio Olympics in men's and women's weight categories respectively after topping the selection trials.

Selection trials were held in Patiala to choose one lifter each from men's and women's category across all weight divisions after India had earned two quota places for the Rio Games at Senior Asian Championships at Tashkent, Uzbekistan in April.
