Nauru took part in the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi,[1] sending six athletes to compete in boxing and weightlifting.[2] Nauru has won medals in every edition of the Commonwealth Games since it first took part in 1990,[3] and in particular won fifteen medals in weightlifting at the 2002 Games in Manchester.[4]
In 2010, Nauruans won two medals, a gold and a silver, both in weightlifting. Yukio Peter won gold in the men's 77 kg category, setting a new Commonwealth Games record by lifting 148 kg in the snatch and 185 kg in the clean and jerk – 333 kg in total. In the men's 105+ kg, Itte Detenamo won silver. He lifted 179 kg in the snatch and 218 kg in the clean and jerk – 397 kg in total. This equalled the total lifted by Australia's Damon Kelly, but Kelly won gold by virtue of a lesser body weight, leaving Detenamo with silver.[5]
