During the Commonwealth Games 2026, Preeti Pawar’s gold medal win sparked pride across her family, who could barely contain their excitement. She revealed that cutting weight is a personal challenge that varies from athlete to athlete. For her, the final three hours before the official weigh‑in are crucial. She begins the cut at 6:30 a.m., trims down her body water, and then focuses on a balanced micro‑nutrient intake to sustain energy. Once the weight is approved, she drinks electrolyte‑rich fluids, takes a brief rest, and visualises the upcoming fight. This disciplined routine, repeated for every competition, allows her to hit the scale without jeopardising strength or speed.
