Yes. The feat of a Delhi police constable, who won a medal in the weightlifting championship by lifting 145 kg, is now being appreciated by everyone. A Delhi Police constable, who is 7 months pregnant, has lifted 145 kg in the weightlifting championship and won an amazing medal. She has sent a message through her achievement that nothing is impossible if you have courage.
Delhi Police constable Sonika Yadav created history in the All India Police Weightlifting Cluster 2025-26 held in Andhra Pradesh, and won a bronze medal by deadlifting 145 kg.
Sonika was seven months pregnant and when she found out that she was going to become a mother in May, her husband thought that she would stop going to the gym and training. But Sonika, on the contrary, continued her weightlifting training even while pregnant. Now, as a result of her hard work, she has won a bronze medal.
Speaking proudly about this, Sonika said, 'I continued weightlifting throughout my pregnancy. That courage helped me win a bronze medal in the championship,' she said.
Sonika also said that she was inspired by a video of a woman named Lucy Martins, who had achieved similar feats even while pregnant, and contacted her for training tips.
In 2023, she won a gold medal in the Delhi State Powerlifting Championship and her journey has continued since then.
