After another successful day for India in Glasgow, Harjinder Kaur and Gulveer Singh added silver medals in weightlifting and athletics as the contingent continued its impressive Commonwealth Games campaign. Attention now shifts to Wednesday, with Indians set to compete across athletics, boxing, weightlifting, swimming, para swimming and bowls.
Harjinder produced the performance of her career to win silver in the women’s 69kg event. The 29-year-old lifted personal bests of 101kg in the snatch and 126kg in the clean and jerk for a total of 227kg, breaking the Commonwealth Games records in both lifts before finishing behind Canada’s Charlotte Simoneau.
Gulveer also impressed, winning silver in the men’s 10,000m after staying with the lead pack before producing a strong final-lap sprint to clock 27:49.78 and finish behind Australia’s Ky Robinson.
Earlier, Nirupama Devi’s campaign in the women’s 63kg category ended in disappointment as she failed to register a successful clean and jerk attempt after staying in medal contention following the snatch, resulting in a DNF.
India’s boxers also enjoyed a productive day. Priya Ghanghas fought back to beat Scotland’s Niamh Mitchell, while Preeti Pawar and Jadumani Singh secured convincing victories to reach the semifinals. All three have assured themselves of at least bronze medals.
India will have several medal opportunities on Wednesday, with 10 medal events scheduled across four sports.
Murali Sreeshankar will lead India’s athletics challenge in the men’s long jump final, while Parul Choudhary opens her campaign in the women’s 3000m steeplechase final. Manpreet Kaur will compete in the women’s shot put final after Tajinderpal Singh Toor and Samardeep Singh Gill feature in the men’s shot put qualification. Sprinter Animesh Kujur is also set to line up in the men’s 200m heats.
The boxing contingent faces another crucial day, with Sakshi Choudhary, Arundhati Choudhary, Sachin Siwach, Ankush Yadav, Narender Berwal and Jaismine Lamboria all featuring in quarterfinal bouts. Victory in each contest will guarantee a place in the semifinals and assure them of a medal.
Sanjana will contest the women’s 77kg weightlifting final, while Sajan Prakash, Aneesh S Gowda, Srihari Nataraj and Aryan Nehra will be in action on the concluding day of the swimming programme. India will also have athletes competing in para swimming and para athletics later in the day.
