India’s Bindyarani Devi Sorokhaibam clinched the bronze medal in the women’s 58kg weightlifting event at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, adding another podium finish to India’s impressive campaign.
The Manipuri lifter registered a total lift of 199kg, comprising 87kg in the snatch and 112kg in the clean and jerk. Nigeria’s Rafiatu Folashade Lawal won the gold medal with a Games-best total of 229kg, while Canada’s Ann Sophie Taschereau claimed silver with 215kg. Bindyarani edged England’s Eliza Pratt by producing a stronger clean and jerk performance.
The bronze increased India’s medal tally to six, including one gold, three silver and two bronze medals, with weightlifting once again emerging as a major contributor.
