India's Boxing Triumphs and Athletics Milestones Celebrate National Pride

Glasgow witnessed an impressive medal haul for India on day ten of the Commonwealth Games 2026. The country’s boxing team returned home with four gold medals, two silver and one bronze, while athletics added a historic double‑medal performance by Gulveer Singh.

President Droupadi Murmu used her official X account to honor each champion. She congratulated Ankur Panhalkar for his gold in the men’s 80 kg boxing bout, Sachin Sivach for the men’s 60 kg gold, and praised the poise displayed by Lovlina Borgohain in securing silver at 75 kg. Her statements underscored how these victories elevate the national flag and serve as a beacon for aspiring athletes.

Vice‑President C. P. Radhakrishnan highlighted the broader impact, noting that the medals not only reflect individual brilliance but also the depth of India’s sporting infrastructure. He also recognized Priya Ghanghas and Sakshi Chaudhary for their gold medals in the women’s 60 kg and 51 kg boxing events, and Unnati Sharma’s bronze in women’s 63 kg judo, calling them moments of collective pride.

The comprehensive success across both boxing and distance running underscores India’s growing competitiveness on the Commonwealth stage.
