Chanambam Rishakanta Singh wins India’s first weightlifting medal at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in the men’s 60kg category, taking silver behind Malaysia’s Mohamad Aniq Bin Kasdan. Across the reported accounts, Singh totals 264kg, with a best snatch of 121kg and a clean-and-jerk sequence that includes a first-attempt lift of 143kg. In the snatch, he sets a Commonwealth Games record at 121kg and briefly leads the event, with another reported detail that Aniq matches the 121kg mark later. Singh’s clean-and-jerk efforts do not succeed on his remaining attempts, but his overall total is enough to secure second place. The reports also note that Singh is from Imphal West, Manipur, and competes under the Indian Army’s sporting programme. He enters Glasgow as the reigning Commonwealth champion in the 60kg division after winning gold at the 2025 Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships in Ahmedabad. This performance is presented as a significant milestone in his Commonwealth Games campaign.
