Para Powerlifter Jhandu Singh Wins Bronze, India's First Medal at 2023 Commonwealth Games
Jhandu Singh, diagnosed with polio at age five, won India's first medal at the 2023 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, securing bronze in the men's heavyweight para powerlifting event. Overcoming early mockery and financial challenges, he trained diligently while supporting himself by selling vegetables and driving an e-rickshaw. Singh lifted 190kg to earn 130.9 points, narrowly missing gold after a failed 196kg attempt. His achievement has brought pride to his family and hometown in Bihar.
