Overview
- On Sunday, July 26, Mirabai Chanu set Commonwealth Games records with an 85 kg snatch and a 190 kg total to win the women's 48 kg gold, then skipped a final attempt to manage load for the Asian Games.
- Weightlifting supplied all of India’s Day 4 medals as Chanambam Rishikanta Singh won silver in the men's 60 kg with a 264 kg total and Raja Muthupandi took silver in the men's 65 kg.
- India opened its medal account earlier in the Games when para powerlifter Jhandu Kumar won bronze in the men's heavyweight event, bringing the overall tally to four medals (1 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze) and eighth in the standings.
- Pre-Games and early-Games anti-doping actions by NADA reduced India’s weightlifting quota and led to provisional suspensions and withdrawals, a development that concentrated selection pressure on the remaining lifters.
- Beyond the podium, Indian boxers advanced toward medal rounds while lawn bowls, gymnastics, swimming and wheelchair basketball produced mixed results, leaving weightlifting as the primary source of medals and morale for Team India.
