Mirabai Chanu shattered the Commonwealth Games record to clinch the gold medal in women’s 48kg weightlifting event in Glasgow on Sunday. Chanu first broke the Games record in snatch with a brilliant 85kg attempt and then followed it up with a 105kg attempt in clean and jerk – another Commonwealth Games record. It took her total to an impressive 190kg. This was her third consecutive gold medal at the Commonwealth Games and India’s first gold medal at Commonwealth Games 2026.
