Weightlifting

Five competitors withdrew from the flyweight event due to the 1986 Commonwealth Games boycott resulting in the category only having three competitors. According to games rules this meant that only the gold medal was awarded. A Games Federation meeting two days later overturned this decision and the silver medal was awarded to Charlie Revolta and the bronze to Alan Ogilvie.
