Four medals. Two sports. One golden hat-trick. Here’s everything India has won so far at the Commonwealth Games 2026 (CWG) in Glasgow — and where the country stands on the global stage.
With 122 Indian athletes competing across eight able-bodied sports and five para disciplines, the medal count is just getting started. But the early results already tell a compelling story.

Jhandu Kumar got India on the board first, clinching bronze in men’s heavyweight para powerlifting. Weightlifter Rishikanta Singh followed with silver in the men’s 60kg category, setting a new Games record in snatch along the way.
Then came the moment everyone was waiting for: Mirabai Chanu delivered India’s first gold of the Games, completing a historic hat-trick of Commonwealth Games titles in the women’s 48kg weightlifting event. Not long after, Muthupandi Raja added a second silver in men’s 65kg weightlifting.

India’s Commonwealth Games Legacy
Heading into Glasgow, India had won 564 medals across 18 previous CWG appearances — the fourth-most successful nation in the event’s history, behind Australia, England, and Canada. Glasgow 2026 marks India’s 19th participation since its debut in 1934.
Shooter Jaspal Rana remains India’s most decorated CWG athlete with 15 medals overall. India’s best-ever showing came at New Delhi 2010, where the hosts claimed 101 medals to finish second — the only time India has crossed the 100-medal mark. A trimmed-down Glasgow program, dropping sports like wrestling, badminton, and hockey, means fewer opportunities this time compared to Birmingham 2022’s 61-medal haul.
The Commonwealth Games continues to be a key stepping stone for athletes building toward events like the Olympics, and India’s growing weightlifting dominance signals a strong medal push in the days ahead.
