Youth commonwealth record

Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships: Olympic medallist weightlifter Mirabai Chanu marked a golden return to action as she won the gold medal in the women's 48 kg category at the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships on Monday.

Competing for the first time since her fourth-place finish at the Paris Olympics last year, former world champion Mirabai Chanu lifted 84kg in snatch and 109kg in clean and jerk for a total lift of 193kg for a top spot on the podium.

Following the International Weightlifting Federation’s (IWF) revised weight categories, which saw Mirabai’s pet division of 49kg scrapped, the Indian weightlifter competed in 48kg at the championships.
