Sanjana Panchal Highlights Commonwealth Games 2026: Indian Weightlifter Eliminated After Three Failed Snatch Attempts

Hello everyone, we are back with another live blog from the Commonwealth Games 2026. Stay tuned for live updates as Sanjana Panchal takes the stage in the women’s 77kg weightlifting final.

The live streaming of the Commonwealth Games 2026 will be available on Sony LIV, while the event will be telecast live in India on Sony Sports Ten 2 and Sony Sports Ten 2 HD.

Sanjana Panchal is set to make her Commonwealth Games debut in the women’s 77kg weightlifting final at Glasgow 2026. The 19-year-old Indian lifter enters the competition after a career-best performance at the Asian Weightlifting Championships 2026, where she won three bronze medals with a total lift of 220kg. She will look to put up a strong performance and challenge for a podium finish on the Commonwealth stage.

We are underway in Glasgow, and the opening declarations are in. Sanjana Panchal’s entry weights have been set at 94kg in the snatch and 122kg in the clean & jerk.

That gives her a declared total of 216kg, the second-highest among the competitors, only behind Seine Stowers of Samoa, who has entered with a combined 235kg. The Indian youngster will now look to execute her lifts cleanly and put pressure on the field in this women’s 77kg final.

Sanjana Panchal is on the platform for her opening snatch attempt, but it’s not the start she would have hoped for. She tried to lift 94kg, but couldn’t maintain control and stability after getting under the barbell, forcing her to let it go before completing the movement. She will have two more chances in the snatch round to register a successful lift.

Sanjana Panchal is back on the platform for her second snatch attempt at 94kg, but it’s another unsuccessful lift for the Indian youngster.

She showed slightly better control this time and held the bar for longer, but couldn’t stabilise herself in the squat position before losing the lift. The pressure is now building as Sanjana has just one more attempt left in the snatch round.

Sanjana Panchal’s Commonwealth Games 2026 campaign in the women’s 77kg final has ended after she failed to register a valid lift in the snatch round. The 19-year-old Indian lifter opened with 94kg but couldn’t generate enough height and control, dropping the bar on her first attempt.

She looked better in her second attempt and managed to get under the bar, but failed to stabilise in the squat position before letting it go. With her final chance to stay alive in the competition, Sanjana once again attempted 94kg but dropped the weight behind, resulting in three failed attempts. India’s challenge in the women’s 77kg weightlifting category is now over.
