Toor, Samardeep unable to end India's CWG shot put medal drought in Glasgow

India's long wait for a maiden Commonwealth Games medal in men's shot put continued as Asian Games champion Tajinderpal Singh Toor and Samardeep Singh Gill finished fifth and seventh respectively in the final here on Thursday. India had never won a Commonwealth Games medal in the event and the elusive podium finish remained out of reach despite fielding two finalists. Nigeria's Chukwuebuka Enekwechi produced a stunning fifth-round effort of 21.07m to snatch the gold medal from defending champion Tom Walsh of New Zealand, whose opening throw of 21.03m had looked good enough for the title. England's Scott Lincoln took the bronze with 20.70m. Samardeep made a steady start with a throw of 19.56m, which kept him inside the top five after the opening round, while Walsh immediately stamped his authority with a massive 21.03m effort. Lincoln (20.70m) and Enekwechi (19.60m) were also ahead of the Indian. Toor, regarded as India's strongest medal hope after qualifying second overall, opened

CWG 2026: India's Parul Chaudhary finishes 13th in women's 5000m final

Indian distance runner Parul Chaudhary endured a disappointing Commonwealth Games campaign, finishing 13th in the women's 5000m final here on Thursday. The 31-year-old from Uttar Pradesh, whose season and personal best stands at 15:04.26, clocked 15:08.56 to finish outside the top 10. Australia's Rose Davies and Jessica Hull claimed the gold and silver medals with season-best timings of 14:44.53 and 14:45.01 respectively, while Scotland's Megan Keith also produced a season-best 14:49.10 to take bronze. The result extended India's wait for its first Commonwealth Games medal in the women's 5000m. Earlier, Parul, whose pet event is the 3000m steeplechase, had also missed out on a medal in her favourite discipline. The Hangzhou Asian Games champion in the 5000m had shattered the national record with a time of 15:04.26 while finishing second at the Meeting Nikaia in Nice, France, last month.

India suffer blow as Nirupama Devi fails to finish CWG women's 63kg event

India's Nirupama Devi endured a heartbreaking outing in the women's 63kg weightlifting at the Commonwealth Games on Tuesday after failing all three of her clean and jerk attempts, resulting in a Did Not Finish. Nirupama, who had won a silver medal at last year's Commonwealth Championships in Ahmedabad with a total lift of 217kg (91kg+126kg), opened her campaign in the snatch with a failed attempt at 93kg. She successfully lifted the same weight in her second attempt before her 95kg attempt failed in her final lift. Her best lift of 93kg left her fifth at the end of the snatch round, with four lifters ahead of her. Despite being placed fifth after the snatch, Nirupama remained well in medal contention. However, the Indian lifter had a disappointing clean and jerk. Attempting 123kg, a weight below the 127kg she had successfully lifted at the National Championships earlier this year, Nirupama failed on all three attempts, ending her campaign without a total.

Lovlina distracted by floods back home ahead of CWG bout, seeks help

Olympic bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain on Tuesday said she has been unable to fully focus on her Commonwealth Games campaign because of the devastating floods in her home state of Assam, and appealed to people to extend help to those affected. The 28-year-old boxer from Assam is assured of at least a bronze medal after receiving a direct entry into the women's 75kg semifinals because of the five-boxer draw. "I am feeling very bad that a lot of people have lost their lives because of the flood in Assam. A lot of people are facing a lot of problems at this time," said Borgohain, who became only the third Indian boxer to win an Olympic medal when she claimed bronze at the Tokyo Games, in a video message.
