Olympic silver medallist Mirabai Chanu created history by winning the women’s 48kg weightlifting gold at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, becoming a three-time consecutive Commonwealth champion.
The Indian star recovered from a failed opening snatch attempt to lift 85kg, setting new Commonwealth Games and Commonwealth records. She then sealed the gold with a successful 105kg clean and jerk after missing her first attempt. Mirabai’s triumph follows her gold-medal victories at Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022.
Earlier, Rishikanta Singh Chanambam opened India’s weightlifting campaign with a silver medal in the men’s 60kg category, breaking the Commonwealth Games snatch record with a lift of 121kg before finishing with a total of 264kg.
