India's Golden Triumphs

The gold medal charge for India has been led by three inspiring athletes. Weightlifting sensation Mirabai Chanu, the flag bearer for the Indian contingent, etched her name into history once again by clinching gold in the Women's 48 kg category on July 26. This marks her third consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medal and her fourth overall, a testament to her consistent dominance and resilience, especially after battling injuries and rigorous weight management. Chanu's record-breaking lift of 190kg (85kg snatch and 105kg clean and jerk) further solidified her legendary status.

Making history in para-athletics, Sharmila Dhankar secured India's first-ever gold in the discipline, winning the Women's shot put F57 event on July 27 with a season-best throw of 9.81m. Her triumph ended India's 20-year wait for a para-athletics medal at the Games, marking a deeply personal victory as she dedicated her medal to her visually impaired mother, who supported her through numerous challenges.

The golden run in para-athletics continued on July 29, when Dilip Gavit stormed to victory in the Men's 100 m T47 event, setting a new Games record time of 10.71 seconds. Gavit’s win was particularly notable as it completed a historic gold-silver finish for India, with compatriot Mohammed Basil Morssinganakath taking the silver. Gavit, whose journey began with farm work in Nashik before being spotted by his coach, dedicated his record-breaking sprint to his guru.

Silver Linings and Bronze Honours

India's athletes have also demonstrated exceptional skill and determination to secure a remarkable ten silver medals. In weightlifting, Rishikanta Singh (Men's 60 kg), Muthupandi Raja (Men's 65 kg), Gyaneshwari Yadav (Women's 53 kg), Ajaya Babu (Men's 79 kg), Harjinder Kaur (Women's 69 kg), and Lovepreet Singh (Men's +110 kg), who set a Commonwealth Games record in snatch, all earned silver medals.

On the athletics track and field, Sarvesh Kushare claimed silver in the Men's high jump, while Gulveer Singh made history by becoming the first Indian man to win a Commonwealth Games medal in the 10,000 metres. Murali Sreeshankar added another silver to his collection in the Men's long jump, his second consecutive in the event. Mohammed Basil Morssinganakath’s silver in the Men's 100 m T47, alongside Gavit’s gold, highlighted India’s strong presence in para-athletics.

The bronze medals were secured by Jhandu Kumar in Para Powerlifting (Men's heavyweight), Bindyarani Devi in Weightlifting (Women's 58 kg), Shilpa Shyla in Para-athletics (Women's shot put F57), and Seema Kaliramna in Athletics (Women's discus throw). Shilpa Shyla's medal contributed to a landmark double podium finish for India in the women's shot put F57 event.
