Glasgow woke up to a buzzing Day 5 at the **Commonwealth Games 2026**, and India’s contingent made sure the excitement never dipped. From weightlifting platforms to the long jump pit, Indian athletes delivered one heart-stopping moment after another.

## Weightlifting: India’s Golden Habit Continues

Fresh off Mirabai Chanu’s gold on Sunday, 23-year-old **Gyaneshwari Yadav** stepped up in the Women’s 53kg final, opening with a clean 82kg snatch and eyeing an even bigger 85kg attempt. She’s chasing India’s fourth weightlifting medal of these Games, with Bindyarani Devi and V Ajaya Babu also in finals action today.

## Long Jump: Sreeshankar and Lokesh Both Through
