Fresh off winning her third gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, the Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu revealed that records were never her primary goal; instead, she was focusing on the areas she needs to work on to keep herself fully ready for the upcoming Asian Games in Japan next month. 

Mirabai was always the heavy favourite in the 48kg women's weightlifting, and the Tokyo Olympic silver medallist absolutely dominated the field to win gold. She set a Commonwealth Games record in the Snatch by lifting 85kg, then bombed another Games record of 105 kg in the Clean & Jerk to complete a hat-trick of Commonwealth golds for the Indian.
