Together, the results gave India three weightlifting medals on a single day of competition, underlining the depth of the country's lifting contingent at these Games. India has traditionally been strong in Commonwealth Games weightlifting, topping the medal standings at both Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022. Singh's performance continues that trend heading into Glasgow 2026, with more weight categories still to be contested across the Games.

It was her third straight CWG gold, after Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022. Her CWG story began with silver at Glasgow 2014, the same city where she completed the hat-trick. Nigeria's Ruth Asuquo Nyong took silver with 168kg. Malaysia's Irene Jane Henry claimed bronze with 167kg. Chanu finished 22kg clear of the field. Mirabai endured a rare shaky start, failing her opening 82kg snatch before recovering to clear it on her second try. She then produced a flawless 85kg lift on her final attempt to set the new Games snatch record. In the clean and jerk, she missed her opening 105kg attempt but converted it on her second try to seal the gold. The win capped a dominant run for India in weightlifting at the SEC Armadillo and continued Chanu's remarkable Commonwealth Games legacy since her first appearance in 2014.
