Weightlifter Harjinder Kaur added a silver medal to India’s tally at the Commonwealth Games 2026, totaling 221 kilograms in the women’s 69-kilogram category in Glasgow.
Her combined score across snatch and clean-and-jerk attempts placed her second on the leaderboard behind the gold medalist, extending India’s strong showing in the sport at the ongoing edition.
Coaches said Kaur executed planned opening attempts before pushing heavier loads in the final rounds, maintaining composure despite crowd pressure.
The result came on the same day Gulveer Singh secured historic silver on the track, giving Indian fans dual reasons to celebrate.
Indian Weightlifting Federation officials noted the performance builds on training camps held ahead of Glasgow and targets podium consistency across weight classes.
