Commonwealth Games 2026: Gold missed, but Rishikanta Singh’s historic performance; First silver medal for India
Mirabai Chanu’s amazing charisma
Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu has set a new and unique record at the Commonwealth Games (CWG). She lifted 82 kg in her first attempt during the competition and broke her own record by lifting 85 kg in her next attempt. This is the heaviest weight lifted by any athlete in the history of the Commonwealth Games. It is worth noting that in the entire history of the Commonwealth of Nations, no athlete has carried so much weight on any major international platform, be it the Olympic Games or the World Championships.
Rishikant Singh won the silver medal for India
On day four of the 2026 Commonwealth Games, there was big news for India from other sports as well. In the men’s 60kg weightlifting event, Rishikant Singh excelled in his maiden Commonwealth Games to win a silver medal with a total of 264kg (121kg snatch + 143kg clean and jerk), India’s second medal. Meanwhile, in the Women’s Lawn Bowls Pairs divisional event, India’s pair of Rupa Rani Tirkey and Pinky Singh lost to Namibia 0-3 in a hard-fought tie-break match. However, there was some comforting news for India in swimming, where the trio of Srihari Nataraj, Aryan Nehra, Anish Gowda and Dakshina Sasikumar finished third in the preliminaries of the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay to qualify for the finals.
