Esther Nworgu wins Nigeria’s first gold medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in the women’s para powerlifting lightweight event. Multiple outlets report that Nworgu lifts 119.0kg, setting a new Games record in the process. The Daily Post Nigeria further describes the performance as record-breaking. Esther Onyema (also reported as Esther Oyema/Onyema across the outlets) secures silver with a 115.5kg lift. The coverage also indicates that Nworgu’s lift establishes more than one record for the event. Both sources present the same medal outcome: Nigeria’s first gold comes through Nworgu’s record-setting effort, with Onyema/Oyema finishing second. Other finalists and their lifts are mentioned only partially in the available excerpts, so the confirmed details across sources focus on the gold and silver results, the 119.0kg winning lift, and the 115.5kg second-place lift. The reports state that these results occur at the ongoing Glasgow 2026 Games.
