CWG 2026 LIVE UPDATES Day 4: Mirabai Chanu is an Indian sporting legend

CWG 2026 LIVE UPDATES Day 4: With the Commonwealth Games trimmed down to just 10 sports, there was one medal India could almost bank on before the contingent even landed in Glasgow: Mirabai Chanu's gold. And she made it look ridiculously easy.

She opened her campaign by failing her first snatch attempt at 83kg. But that hardly mattered. Returning for her second lift, Mirabai broke the Commonwealth Games record. She then raised the bar by another eight kilos and promptly broke her own record again.

The clean and jerk followed a familiar script. She surprisingly missed her opening attempt at 100kg, a weight already 15kg heavier than her closest rival's best lift. Yet there was never any real danger. Mirabai calmly returned to clear 105kg on her second attempt, comfortably retaining her Commonwealth Games title and handing India its first gold medal of the 2026 Games.
