Nirupama Devi Fails to Finish Women's 63kg Weightlifting at 2026 Commonwealth Games
Indian weightlifter Nirupama Devi failed to register a total in the women's 63kg event at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, missing all three clean and jerk attempts despite clearing the snatch phase with a 93kg lift. This ended India's perfect medal streak in weightlifting at the Games. Olympic champion Mirabai Chanu, who won gold in the 48kg category, supported Nirupama throughout the competition. Canada's Maude Charron won gold with Games record lifts, while Indian lifters have secured six medals overall so far.
