    Commonwealth Games: Indian weightlifter Mirabai sets new record, bags gold

    India's Mirabai Chanu bagged the gold medal in the women's 48kg weightlifting event. Her gold medal comes after P Gururaja had earlier clinched a silver in the men's 56kg category. Chanu lifted her personal best of 86kg in snatch which in turn is also the Games record. Here is the latest Commonwealth Games medal tally.

    The 23-year-old, from Manipur, reset the CWG record in snatch three times in a period of six minutes. There was no looking back for Chanu, who broke the Games record in each of her clean and jerk attempts. She lifted 103 kg, 107 kg and 110 kg respectively. Her combined total of 196 kg was also her personal best.
