Preeti Pawar Shares Weight‑Cutting Secrets Ahead of Commonwealth Games

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.
