Returning from a year-long break, Mirabai Chanu staged a powerful comeback at the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships—held in India—by winning gold in the newly configured 48 kg category. She lifted a total of 193 kg, smashing three Commonwealth records across snatch, clean & jerk, and total. Despite a handful of missed attempts, she dominated the field, reaffirming her elite status. This stellar performance not only boosted her morale but also positions her strongly for upcoming global events, including qualification for the 2026 Commonwealth Games and a key lead-up to the World Championships.
