Mirabai Chanu will be in the spotlight on Sunday as the 2026 Commonwealth Games rolls onto its fourth day. The face of weightlifting in India for over a decade, Mirabai will be vying for her third CWG gold and fourth Games medal overall. She and boxer Lovlina Borgohain were India’s flagbearers at the opening ceremony as well. India have thus far won just one medal, which is Jhandu Kumar’s bronze in men’s heavyweight para powerlifting, although Lovlina is already assured of at least a bronze medal even before throwing a punch.
