Mirabai Chanu Wins India's first CWG 2026 Gold Medal, her 3rd in CWG

It wasn't just another gold medal for Mirabai Chanu — it was a night of record-breaking dominance. The Indian weightlifting star walked away with four records in the women's 48kg event.

She first set a new Commonwealth Games snatch record with 82kg before raising the bar to 85kg, which established a new Commonwealth snatch record. In the clean and jerk, Mirabai's successful 105kg lift created a new Commonwealth Games record, and her combined 190kg total also became a new Commonwealth Games total record.

A historic night for one of India's greatest weightlifters, who capped it off with a third consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medal.

India’s access to Anthropic’s frontier AI model Mythos is delayed due to a dispute over testing location. Anthropic wants Indian entities to send code to its US cloud for testing, but India insists on local infrastructure over data residency and security concerns.
