From e-rickshaw driver to medallist: Bihar's Jhandu Kumar wins India's first para powerlifting bronze at 2026 Commonwealth Games

Jhandu Kumar from Bihar has become India's first medal winner at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. He won a bronze medal in para powerlifting, lifting 190 kilograms. Jhandu, who had polio as a child, used to drive an e-rickshaw to earn a living. He faced many financial difficulties but did not give up on his dream. After years of hard work and struggle, he reached the podium. "I feel as if I'm flying," said Jhandu after his win. He thanked his family, coaches, the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS), and the Sports Authority of India (SAI) for their support. Jhandu's journey from selling vegetables and driving an e-rickshaw to becoming a Commonwealth Games medallist is an inspiring story of determination. His achievement has brought pride to his state and the country.
