ISLAMABAD, Oct 14: The top two finishers in each category of next month’s Quaid-i-Azam Senior National ranking weightlifting championship in Islamabad will have to undergo camp training for the Commonwealth and South Asian Games.

Muzaffar A. Qureshi, secretary of the Pakistan Weightlifting Federation (PWF) said on Friday that there would be competitions in eight body weight categories during the Nov 29-30 championship at the Pakistan Sports Complex.
