    Commonwealth Games 2026, Day 9 Live Updates: Hola!

    Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Day 9 of the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow!

    It's a blockbuster Friday for India with multiple medal events on the line. In the boxing ring, 10 Indian pugilists including Lovlina Borgohain, Sachin Siwach, and Narender Berwal are in semifinal action, with each win guaranteeing at least a silver and a shot at gold. Meanwhile, decathlete Tejaswin Shankar is aiming to hold on to his second-place position after Day 1 as he completes the remaining five disciplines. India also makes its judo debut, with several athletes competing in medal rounds, while Neeraj Chopra will be in action during the early hours of Saturday in the men's javelin final.

    Neeraj: ‘Rumesh is good boy, friend.. Goal to make finals, so happy with throw’

    On his biggest threat Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage of Sri Lanka, Chopra said, "He's a good boy. He's a friend of mine. This year he really threw well. It's good he's doing something great for Sri Lanka." (PTI)

    In a low 80s qualification of the javelin at the Commonwealth Games 2026, India packed in 1/4th of the 12-man final, led by Neeraj Chopra’s 79.61 metres on the 5th place. Rohit Yadav (78.37) on 10th place and Yash Vir Singh (78.36) on 11th, made it 3 Indians for the Friday finale. Chopra improved on his first 76.28 to sit on fifth at 79.61m. A CWG champion from 2018, a harbinger of his Olympic gold, Chopra is returning from injury this time. He had missed the 2022 edition.

    Chopra told the Olympic channel and other media, “I’m happy I’m in final. That was goal for final. Throw was ok. 79m throw in happy with. The goal is to go in final and give my best there.” (READ MORE)
