Mirabai Chanu’s Golden Comeback at Commonwealth Championship
Indian weightlifting star Mirabai Chanu made a strong return by winning the gold medal at the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championship 2025. This was her first competition after the Paris Olympics 2024, and she proved once again why she is India’s top weightlifter.
Chanu, who competes in the 49 kg category, lifted impressive weights in both snatch and clean & jerk. Her powerful performance secured the top spot and brought pride to India. For fans, this victory was special because it came after her injury struggles and recovery period following the Olympics.
The Manipuri lifter is already an Olympic silver medalist (Tokyo 2020) and a multiple-time Commonwealth Games champion. With this win, she added another golden chapter to her career and showed her determination to stay among the world’s best.
Sports experts believe this gold will boost her confidence as she prepares for upcoming international tournaments and the World Weightlifting Championships. Her comeback highlights the message of hard work, discipline, and resilience.
