Sreeshankar, of India, makes an attempt in the men's long jump final at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, Wednesday, July 29, 2026. (AP Photo/Alastair Grant)India have won three medals late on Wednesday night, and missed out on a fourth one by a whisker. The medals mean that India are in 8th position with 15 medals (three golds, nine silvers and three bronze). In the 100m T47 event, India had a one-two as Dilip Gavit claimed gold with a Games record time of 10.71 secs while Mohammed Basil ended second with a time of 10.83 secs.
Just under an hour before that, Sreeshankar M, who was a silver medallist at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, won India another silver in the men’s long jump final on Wednesday. Compatriot Lokesh Satyanathan ended in fifth spot.
COMMONWEALTH GAMES 2026 MEDAL TALLY LIVE UPDATES
Boxers Sakshi Choudhary (in women’s 51kg), Arundhati Choudhary (women’s 70kg), Sachin Siwach (men’s 60kg), Ankush Yadav (men’s 80kg), Narender Berwal (men’s +90kg) and Jaismine Lamboria (women’s 57kg) have won their quarter-final encounters on a heady day inside the boxing ring to assure India of six medals at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games on Wednesday. This comes after a productive Day 6 that added two silver medals to India’s tally.
Parul Chaudhary ends fifth in women's 300m steeplechase with a time of 9:26.75.
Parul found herself stuck in the middle of the big pack in the start of the race and could never really challenge the lead runners. There were two runners who broke off from the main pack and surged into an early lead and they stayed there.
Soon, after the 400m mark of the race, Parul was fifth in the race. She stayed in that position till the end of the 300m.
What a race from Dilip Gavit! He stormed to the gold in the 100m T47 event. He was not the fastest starter, but ended that race like he had little rockets on his feet propelling him.
And Gavit smashes the Games record as well with a timing of 10.71secs!
Compatriot Mohammed Basil ends second to claim silver medal with a time of 10.83 secs! He almost had a photo finish to claim silver. Just look at how close it was at the end for Basil and Kevin Santos.
A one-two for India!
Heartbreak for Manpreet Kaur! She was in bronze medal contention, but with her final throw <a href="https://www.glasgow2026.com/results/detailed/athlete-details/5856">Lloydricia Cameron throws 17.87m. And the Ambala resident Manpreet is left in fourth place with her best attempt of 17.49m. But she has one final attempt to reclaim bronze and maybe sneak into silver. But she fouls out after stepping out the circle. So Manpreet will have fourth spot.
But we have to doff out hats to Sarah Mitton who won gold. Actually, she didn't just win gold as much as she demanded it. While no other shot putter could manage to cross 18m mark in their six attempts (with 17.87 metres from Jessica Oji and Cameron being the best attempts), Mitton's six throws measured:
18.50m
18.91m
19.15m
18.95m
19.88m
19.47 m
THREE ATTEMPTS FROM SARAH MITTON THAT CROSSED 19 METRES WHILE NO ONE CROSSED 18 METRES!!!
Scotland’s Stephen Mackenzie has his final jump and its a 8.06 m jump. That means Sreeshankar is assured a silver medal!
AND SREESHANKAR'S FINAL JUMP IS 7.97. THIS MEANS FOR THE SECOND COMMONWEALTH GAMES IN A ROW, SREESHANKAR WINS A SILVER MEDAL FOR INDIA AT THE CWG!
He looks dejected by a silver. he knows with one good jump, the gold was there for the taking!
Lokesh Sathyanathan has a 7.62m jump with his sixth and final attempt. Which means he's going to end in fifth spot in the standings.
Tajay Gayle finding his range just at the right time. With his fifth jump, he lands on the exact 8m mark. And he actually took over 33 cms before the board!
Meanwhile, Scotland's Stephen Mackenzie almost sends Sreeshankar to bronze medal spot with a jump that should have put him first. But he's ONE POINT ONE CENTIMETRES AHEAD ON THE BOARD WHILE TAKING OFF! SO THAT'S NOT A VALID JUMP!
Sreeshankar came 1.1 centimtres from being knocked down to bronze medal.
And with his own fifth attempt, Sreeshankar can only manage 7.94m. He will have onbe final attempt to win gold medal! He needs to jump over 8.15m at least.
Sreeshankar loses the lead thanks to a 8.15m leap from Tajay Gayle! Can Sreeshankar respond with his fourth attempt?
No he cannot! For the second time in a row, the Indian oversteps and registers a foul attempt! And right afterwards, Mitrevski jumps over 8 metres to leave Lokesh in fifth spot.
So here's the standings now:
1) Tajay Gayle 8.15m
2) Sreeshankar M 8.09m
3) Stephen Mackenzie 8.08m
4) Christopher Mitrevski 8.02m
5) Lokesh Sathyanathan 7.97m
Third jump doesn't go as per plan for Sreeshankar. He overstepped by a few centimetres. He still leads thanks to that second attempt of 8.09metres.
Lokesh, meanwhile, can only manage a 7.49m. So in each of his three attempts, he's gotten less farther: 7.97m with his first, 7.70m with his second and now 7.49m.
He's still fourth in the standings, so just out of medal contention. Getting a pep talk from his coach.
India's other hurdler in the 400m hurdles event, Santhosh Kumar Tamilarasan, also ends third in the second heat just like Yashas Palaksha. Santhosh ends with a time of 49.51secs while Yashas had 49.65secs. Both of them waiting for their fate, based on the third heat.
UPDATE: Both of them have qualified as the seventh and eighth fastest runners overall. They are actually the final two runners to sneak into the eight-man finals. So India will have two runners in the 400m hurdles final.
Oh wow! After a 8.08m in his first attempt to surge into the lead of the long jump, Tajay Gayle can only manage a... 6.08m in his second attempt. And Mackenzie manages a 7.92m in his second.
But MURALI SREESHANKAR LEADS THE EVENT NOW WITH HIS SECOND JUMP OF 8.09m.
And Lokesh , who has a slight stutter just before takeoff, can only manage a 7.70m. There are still a few jumpers left to have a second attempt, but as it stands Sreeshankar is first and Lokesh is just out of medal contention at no 4.
Meanwhile, we have action from the 400m men's hurdles where Yashas Palaksha finished third in the first heat with a time of 49.65secs. He's not automatically through to the next round, and we will have to wait for the next two heats to figure if his time is good enough.
First attempts are in. Tajay Gayle leads with his first attempt with an 8.08m leap. Scotland's Stephen Mackenzie is also at the same distance.
Behind them, are the Indian pair. Sreeshankar is third with a leap of 8.03m while Lokesh is fourth with 7.97m.
Still early days in the contest, with only seven jumpers having had attempts.
Sreeshankar leaps for his first attempt. A bright day in Glasgow beckons.
Men's long jump is here. And we have India's Murali Sreeshankar and Lokesh Satyanathan competing. This is a medal event, so hold your breath!
Both exhausted boxers thought they had won the quarter-final at the end of the third round. Both raised their hands while returning to their corners. it was close.
Jaismine is a winner by split decision. 4-1 winner. The scores indicate that the five judges though that she had won the final round unanimously.
WOW THAT'S CLOSE! Two judges favour Jaismine while one judge backs Elise Glynn in this Women’s 57kg Quarterfinal.
Just look at how close the scores are after two rounds.
Here we go! Jaismine Lamboria is India's final boxer to compete today. And she narrowly edges ahead of the English boxer Elise Glynn (England) in the first of three rounds of their women’s 57kg Quarterfinal.
Facing Jaismine is Glynn, a four-time English champion and four-time British champion. Both players received byes in the round of16, so it's their first action in the boxing ring at Glasgow.
Glynn is an orthodox boxer, while the Indian is a southpaw. Both boxers with a real low guard. And Jaismine gets the favour of judges 2, 4 and 5, while Glynn gets the favour of judges 1 and 3.
A close bout.

Dinesh Kumar and Navneet Singh beat Namibia’s Christo Steenkamp and Waylon Wentzel 2-0 in men’s pairs sectional play
We will have the final action from the boxing ring coming up shortly as Jaismine Lamboria will take the ring. Five Indians have already won their quarter-final bouts today and made it to the semis, thus ensuring a medal. Jaismine could make it six in six for Indian boxers today.
But the boxing medals will happen later in the week. Meanwhile, for those who are chasing medals today, we have multiple track and field chasing podium finishes today. Here's what the athletics program looks like
The Indian pairing of Dinesh Kumar and Navneet Singh have defeated Namibia's Christo Steenkamp and Waylon Wentzel by winning both sets in men’s pairs sectional play. This is their second win in the pool stage.
They won 5-3, 6-3.
What an end for India! They manage to get a resting ball on the jack and then two more balls in close proximity of the jack. So they take three points and a lead of 6-1 with one final end to be bowled.
They have already taken the first set, so unless Namibia can do the unthinkable in the course of six rolls of the ball, India are winning this!
India take a 2-0 lead after the first end of the second set. But Namibia claw back with one point in the second end. India have a 2-1 lead heading into the third end.
But India have already won the first set. Which means that should Namibia win this set, we will have tiebreaks.
What a turnaround from India in that penultimate end! The Indian pair have overhauled Namibia's lead from 2-3 to take a 4-3 lead. It would have been even bigger, but with the final ball of the end, Namibia managed to get a ball closer to the jack than two other balls of the Indians.
And India manage to stay in the lead after the final end to win the first set 5-3.
India's Dinesh Kumar and Navneet Singh, facing Namibia in the men's pairs sectional play, are trailing 2-3 after the third end of the first set! They need a stellar few ends now to regain control of the first set.
Up next is the men's lawn bowls pair of Dinesh Kumar and Navneet Singh, who will be in action against Namibia in the Sectional Play.

The clinical show by Indian boxers continues as Ankush Yadav is just a round away from confirming a medal for himself. He leads 5-0 after the opening two rounds.
After Sakshi Chaudhary, Arundhati Choudhary and Sachin Siwach, can Ankush Yadav continue the great run of Indian boxers at CWG 2026? His bout against Seychelles' Jade Micock begins now.

Sachin Siwach is through to the semis, and he becomes the third boxer today and the fifth Indian boxer overall to assure himself of a medal.
Sachin has been rock solid in his defence. He also landed good punches while connecting a few occasional jabs in between as well. The footwork has been impressive by the Indian, as he is expected to take home the second round as well.
Unanimous decision it is! For the second round in a row, the Indian has overwhelmed his opponent.
Right then, the first round begins. Botswana’s Treasure Moremi has been backed up to the corner. Sachin has missed a few punches, but still he has been the more active boxer among the two. And the judges also feel the same: 5-0 unanimous decision in favour of the Indian in the first round.
It has been a good stretch for the Indians in the boxing ring. Both Sakshi Chaudhary and Arundhati Choudhary won their respective bouts to assure India of two more medals after advancing to the semis. Another impressive pugilist Sachin Siwach will be in action up next in the men's 60kg quarterfinal against Botswana's Treasure Moremi.
Arundhati Choudhary has assured INDIA of another medal in the boxing ring after prevailing over Morgan Henderson of New Zealand in women's 70 kg.
She wins by a 3-1 split decision with one judge having level scores on her card after three rounds.
Entering the semis means Arundhati assures India of one more boxing medal from Glasgow.
That final round was very scrappy, with Henderson rugby tackling the Indian into the ropes a couple of times. But the smiling Arundhati prevails, despite not doing a whole lot in the final round. She had done enough in the first two rounds.
Arundhati is a master at annoying her opponent. She's dancing around the ring, grinning at her opponent. Every once in a while, a punch from Henderson lands. But Henderson also had a point deducted in the second period. She's literally scrapping away. Arundhati has had cleaner punches landing on the visage of her opponent.
Henderson charging out at Arundhati like a bull at a red rag right from the ring of the bell. The Indian meanwhile is nonplussed and smiles whenever there is a break in action. Arundhati is exceptional at picking her punches. Like she has to pay out of her pocket each time she lets loose her hands. Henderson landing a few punches, but the Indian is in better control of this bout.
Three of the judges score the first round in favour of the Indian. two give it to Henderson. This will be a tight one.
Here we go! The first sighting of Arundhati Choudhary, the world no 2 in the weight class, taking on Morgan Henderson (New Zealand).
And as soon as the boxers take the ring, Bharat Mata Ki Jai ring out from the stands. Here we go!
We're just minutes away from another boxer competing in the quarter-finals of the Men's 60kg event. Sakshi Chaudhary has already assured herself a medal by defeating Caitlyn Fryers (Northern Ireland). here's who's next: Women’s 70kg quarterfinal – Arundhati Choudhary vs Morgan Henderson (New Zealand).

It's confirmed: Animesh Kujur has qualified for the semi-finals of the men's 200m sprint, finishing 7th overall in the heats.

And here we go! Sakshi Chaudhary has just confirmed herself and India at least a bronze medal after winning all three bouts with rather ease. A dominant show from the Indian pugilist against Fryers.
CREDIT: SonyLIV
Clinical Sakshi Chaudhary is completely dominating Fryers at the moment. The Northern Ireland pugilist looks shaken after the first two rounds. The second round wasn't too different to the first round as Sakshi again won unanimously 5-0.
Sakshi has a clear edge as far as her reach is concerned against Fryers. She lands good punches to unsettle her opponent. And a unanimous decision in her favour as she starts with a 5-0 win in the first round.
The first bout between India's Sakshi Chaudhary and Northern Ireland’s Caitlyn Fryers in the women’s 51kg quarterfinal is underway. Wearing all blue is Sakshi, whereas Fryers has donned red.
As we wait for confirmation on Animesh's qualification, let's shift focus to the boxing arena, where five Indians are set for back-to-back quarterfinal bouts.
Sakshi Chaudhary kicks things off against Northern Ireland's Caitlyn Fryers in the women's 51kg quarterfinal. She will be followed by four more Indians in action at 5:30 PM, 6:15 PM, 7:00 PM, and 7:30 PM. After a brief break, Jaismine Lamboria will round off the action at 11:00 PM.

A timing of 20.46 seconds is Animesh Kujur's season best. And he is the fifth-fastest athlete after the end of Heat 4, expected to qualify for the semis with ease. We still need to wait for confirmation.
Animesh Kujur put on a show in his heat! After a sharp start and a powerful lift, he chased down Cameroon's Emmanuel Eseme and overtook him to finish first, securing his spot in the semifinal with authority. A cracking run from the Chhattisgarh sprinter!

A field of 80 sprinters is battling it out across 10 heats for a place in the semifinals. Only the 16 fastest performers from the heats will progress to the next stage.
Star Indian sprinter Animesh Kujur will be in action in the men's 200m heats. He will compete in Heat 4.
Here comes the confirmation: Samardeep Singh Gill doesn't need to throw again as he too qualifies for the finals alongside Tajinderpal Singh Toor.
Samardeep Singh Gill, the other shot putter who is in action in group B, starts with a 19.95m throw, just 5cm away from the direct qualification mark, which is 20m. He moves to second place with this throw. All athletes meeting the qualification standard (which is 20m) or at least the 12 best performers advance to the final. Samardeep has two more attempts to cross 20.
Meanwhile, in the shot put arena, Tajindrapal Singh Toor improves his throw by registering 20.14m, which moves him to second behind Tom Walsh. The 20m+ throw also means he has automatically qualified for the finals.
Alright, Kulkarni clocks 32.77 seconds to finish fourth, whereas Jadhav finishes behind him in sixth place after registering 35.35 seconds. The heat was a formality as all 7 swimmers qualify for the final since the top 8 make it to the final. And since only seven swimmers were in action, all seven of them made it to the final.
We now move to para swimming, where India's Suyash Narayan Jadhav and Chaitanya Vishwas Kulkarni are in action in the men’s 50m freestyle S7 qualification.
Tajinderpal Singh Toor is in action now. The Indian starts with a confident throw of 19.93m. This places him third in his group behind New Zealand's Tom Walsh and England's Scott Lincoln.

We will also be keeping an eye out for Suyash Narayan Jadhav and Chaitanya Vishwas Kulkarni, who will be in action in the men's 50m freestyle S7 qualification in para swimming. Both Indians are in the same heat.
Alright, we move to the athletics field straight from the swimming pool. Veteran Indian shot putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor and Samardeep Singh Gill will be in action in the men's shot put qualification.
Aneesh Sunil Kumar Gowda had better timing than Sajan, as he clocked 1:51.64, but he could only manage to finish seventh in his heat among 8 swimmers. Both Gowda and Prakash crashed out of the event.

Sajan Prakash clocks 1:51.99 to finish fifth in his Heat. England's James Guy finishes first, Australia's Sam Short is second while another English swimmer, Gabriel Shepherd is third.

Indian swimmer Sajan Prakash is in Heat 4, whereas Aneesh S Gowda is featuring in Heat 5 of the men's 200m freestyle event.
The next Indians in action are Sajan Prakash and Aneesh S Gowda, who will feature in the men's 200m freestyle heats.
Indian weightlifter Sanjana has been eliminated in the women’s 77kg event after failing to lift 94kg in snatch in all three of her attempts. With no event today for Indian weightlifters, there will be no medal in weightlifting for India.
-Nitin Sharma
My goodness, it's already over for the Indian after she fails to register any weight on her three attempts. All three attempts go in vain as Sanjana failed to lift 94kg and she is out of medal contention no matter how well she does in clean and jerk.
Next up, it's India's Sanjana who will be in action. She will try to lift 94kg and she messes it up on her first attempt.
Kenya's Rachel Achieng Enock struggles a bit but recovers quickly to make it a successful first attempt, lifting 90kg.
Scotland's Herbert is back for her second lift, meanwhile. A huge roar for the local favourite as she successfully lifts 91kg on her second attempt.
Enock, meanwhile, fails to improve her lift after two unsuccessful 93kg attempts.
A poor end to Isabella Andueza's competition as she wastes all three attempts to lift 89kg in snatch. A DNF for the Australian, and she is the first woman to be out of medal contention.
Kaitlin Saunders fails to improve her weight after two unsuccessful attempts of 85kg. This means 82kg will remain her best lift in snatch.
Local weightlifter, Scotland's Agata Herbert, starts well by lifting 85kg on her first attempt.
Northern Ireland's Kaitlin Saunders will start things off in the competition. She attempts 82kg and gets it going with a clean lift. Three green it is, and we move on to the next one. Mind you, we start with the lowest weights first, moving on to the heaviest.
The 19-year-old Sanjana, who hails from Gujarat, is busy with her warm-ups. She has registered 94kg for her first attempt in snatch. Three more athletes have registered a higher initial weight than the Indian.
Weightlifting consists of two lifts: Snatch and the Clean and Jerk.
Snatch: The lifter lifts the barbell from the floor to overhead in one continuous movement using a wide grip.
Clean and Jerk: The lifter first brings the barbell to the shoulders (clean), then drives it overhead with locked elbows (jerk).
How a Competition Works
Three attempts per lift: Every athlete gets three attempts in both the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk.
Combined total: The best successful lift from each discipline is added together to determine the final total, which decides the rankings.
Tiebreakers: If two athletes finish with the same total weight, the athlete with the lower bodyweight is ranked higher. If both the combined weight lifted and bodyweight are identical, the athlete who achieved the total in the fewest attempts wins.
