CWG 2026: India strike seven boxing golds, Gulveer scripts history on sensational Day 10

India produced one of its finest-ever days at the Commonwealth Games, collecting medals across boxing, athletics, para athletics and judo on Saturday, headlined by a record-breaking haul of seven boxing gold medals and Gulveer Singh's historic distance-running double.

The Indian boxing contingent rewrote history, finishing the Games with seven gold and three silver medals, making it the country's most successful boxing campaign in Commonwealth Games history.

The golden run began with Preeti Pawar (54kg), who outboxed Canada's Scarlett Delgado to hand India its first boxing title of the day. She was quickly followed by reigning world champion Jaismine Lamboria (57kg), who upgraded her 2025 Commonwealth Championships bronze to Commonwealth Games gold after defeating Northern Ireland's Michaela Walsh.

The evening session proved even more rewarding. Sakshi Chaudhary (51kg) outclassed England's Ruby White before Priya Ghanghas (60kg) edged Canada's Marie Al-Ahmadieh in a thrilling split-decision contest.

Arundhati Choudhary (70kg) then overcame England's Chantelle Reid, while Sachin Siwach (60kg) became India's first men's boxing champion of the Games after rallying from a first-round deficit to beat Namibia's Tryagain Morning Ndevelo.

The final gold came courtesy of Ankush Panghal (80kg), who fought back after conceding the opening round to defeat England's Dimeji Shittu.

India also added three silver medals through Jadumani Singh (55kg), Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) and heavyweight Narender Berwal (+90kg), completing an unprecedented ten-medal campaign from ten finalists.

Athletics continued to swell India's medal tally.

Praveen Chithravel (16.58m) and Selva Prabhu (16.52m) secured silver and bronze respectively in the men's triple jump, ensuring India registered a second successive Commonwealth Games double podium in the event after the gold-silver finish in Birmingham four years ago.

In the para athletics arena, Soman Rana struck gold in the men's Shot Put F57 with a best throw of 13.40m, while compatriot Shubham Juyal claimed silver with 13.28m, delivering another Indian one-two finish.

The final athletics medal of the night came through Gulveer Singh, who claimed bronze in the men's 5000m in 13:24.95, becoming India's first-ever Commonwealth Games medallist in the event. Having already won silver in the 10,000m earlier in the week, Gulveer finished Glasgow as India's only athletics double medallist.

India also added another medal in judo, where Unnati Sharma needed just 1 minute 7 seconds to defeat South Africa's Skye Knoester by Ippon and clinch bronze in the women's 63kg category.

There were near misses too. Dev Meena finished fourth in the men's pole vault after clearing 5.30m, narrowly missing out on a medal, while Kuldeep Kumar ended sixth with a best clearance of 5.10m.

India's bowlers signed off without progressing further, with the men's pairs losing a tie-breaker to England and Nayanmoni Saikia finishing fourth in her section in the women's singles. All three Indian cyclists also bowed out in the qualification stage of the men's sprint.

India signed off from athletics on Day 10 with a sixth-place finish in the mixed 4x400m relay. The quartet of Vishal TK, Ansa Babu, Santhosh Kumar and Rashdeep Kaur clocked 3:20.32s in the final.

Vishal gave India a strong start with a 46.10s opening leg, but Ansa's 54.10s second leg saw the team slip to seventh. Santhosh responded with a solid 46.40s effort to bring India back into contention before Rashdeep anchored the team home in 53.72s, overtaking Australia's Jemma Pollard, who pulled her hamstring in the closing metres, to secure sixth place.

With a record-breaking boxing campaign, multiple podium sweeps and historic performances in athletics, India enjoyed one of its richest medal days of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, carrying strong momentum into the final day of competition.
