India at Commonwealth Games Highlights Day 10: Boxing gold rush bumps IND to 4th on medal table

Indian track cyclists Dinesh Kumar and Harshveer Singh Sekhon did not finish in the men's 10km Scratch Race qualifying.

Back to the outdoors now, where Soman Rana has lived up to expectations. The Indian shot putter surged into gold medal position with a massive 13.40m throw on his second attempt, pushing his compatriot Shubham Juyal down to second. India are now sitting pretty at the top of the men's F57 shot put standings.

Jadumani Singh is throwing everything he has, trying to land those combination punches, but Dixon has clearly been the better boxer tonight. With time running out, the Indian is pressing hard and has connected a few times, but has he done enough to turn the tide? It looks like a tall order from here.

A tight first round where both boxers were quick on their feet, landing punches in between. Three judges favour the Indian as Jadumani leads with a split 3-2 decision after the opening round.

A fine run from Shubham Juyal; his best throw comes in the last attempt, where he registers 13.28m to stay in the gold medal position.

India's prominent fights against opponents ranked higher:

Men's 80kg - Ankush (No 13) vs Dimeji Shittu (No 7)

Women's 75kg - Lovlina Borgohain (No 7) vs Emma Sue Greentree (No 4)

Against lower-ranked opponents:

Women's 51 - Priya (No 4) vs Marif Al Ahmediah (No 25)

Women's 70kg - Arundhati Choudhary (No 2) vs Chantelle Reid (No 6)

Men's 90+kg - Narender (No 5) vs Damar Thomas (No 9)

-Shivani Naik

India's Shubham Juyal and Soman Rana are the final two shot putters in the men's F57 final. Both have the best season-best performances in the field, and expecting a podium finish from the duo would not be far-fetched. Keep an eye out for them!

Next up, we have impressive young boxer Jadumani Singh Mandengbam, who will be the third Indian boxing finalist and will take on Jye Dixon of Australia in the men’s 55kg final.

Nitin Sharma writes - World champion Jaismine Lamboriya scores a unanimous 5-0win over defending champion Michaela Walsh of Northern Ireland in the women’s 57kg final at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games to hand India its second gold medal in boxing in the Games. Jasmine had won bronze in the last edition of the Games.

Jaismine is gaining control in the fight. After a split 3-2 win in the first round, the Indian wins the second round with a unanimous 10-9 decision by all five judges.

There it is, the historic boxing gold that India were waiting for! Bhiwani's Preeti Pawar opened India's medal count in boxing at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow. The Asian champion is now a Commonwealth champion as well, delivering a clinical 5-0 unanimous decision victory over Scarlett Savannah Delgado.

What a dominant display from Preeti Pawar. The Indian boxer controlled the bout from start to finish, winning the first round of the women's 54kg final by a comprehensive 5-0 unanimous decision over Scarlett Savannah Delgado. All five judges ruled in her favour with identical 10-9 scores. Two more rounds to go.

We move to the boxing ring now! Preeti Pawar is fighting for gold against Canada's Scarlett Savannah Delgado in the women’s 54kg final.

Disappointing news coming from the track and field. India's Ravina has been disqualified from the women's 10,000m race walk final after receiving three red cards. The strict enforcement of race walking rules, which require athletes to maintain constant contact with the ground and keep their leading leg straight until it passes the vertical position, proved costly for the Indian athlete. However, there is still some hope for India as Priyanka Goswami, the other Indian in the race, is currently holding on to fourth place.

All Indian cyclists Rojit Singh Yanglem, Ronaldo Singh Laitonjam and David Beckham Elkatohchoongo crash out of the men's sprint after finishing 22nd, 24th and 25th in a field of 29.

Ramesh clocks a season-best timing of 3:23.59 but fails to put up any fight for the podium. His timing only puts him seventh among eight racers.

India's Ramesh Shanmugam is in action in the men’s 1500m T54 (wheelchair race).

Alright then, we have a packed schedule today for Indians in action. We begin the day on the cycling track with India's David Beckham Elkatohchoongo, Ronaldo Singh Laitonjam, and Rojit Singh Yanglem being in action in the men’s sprint. Mind you, it's a qualifying event.
