Mirabai’s third CWG gold. Fourth medal.
The record is simple enough without the spin: Mirabai Chanu won women’s 48kg gold at Glasgow 2026 — her third straight CWG gold and fourth CWG medal overall, per Commonwealth Sport and the PMO. The rest of the noise can wait for sources.
Mirabai Chanu’s Commonwealth Games record: three golds and four medals.
Mirabai Chanu took gold in the women’s 48kg at Glasgow 2026 — her third consecutive Commonwealth Games gold, according to Commonwealth Sport’s official summary. The Prime Minister’s Office also called it her overall fourth CWG medal, which is the cleaner count.
The sequence matters. The official Glasgow 2014 results book has Mirabai with silver at 170kg total; the golds followed in 2018, 2022 and now 2026. That is three golds, four medals — not “first Glasgow gold” redux and not whatever a ministerial caption writer prefers this week.
As for the claimed jersey presentation to a Union minister and a “grand welcome” in Delhi — park it until someone produces an on-record post, release or photo with provenance. We’ll take the sport over the photo-op; the BJP’s publicity machine can learn to live with verifiable facts.
