Glasgow: India's campaign at the Commonwealth Games 2026 gathered fresh momentum on Tuesday as the tricolour climbed the podium twice more, a historic silver from long-distance runner Gulveer Singh and another silver from weightlifter Harjinder Kaur highlighting an eventful Day 6 that also saw three Indian boxers guarantee medals.

The biggest talking point came from the athletics track, where Singh etched his name into the record books by becoming the first Indian ever to win a Commonwealth Games medal in the men's 10,000m.

The Army athlete stayed in contention throughout the race before unleashing a powerful finishing burst to clock 27:49.78, earning silver behind Australia's Ky Robinson and ending India's decades-long wait for a podium finish in the event.

Earlier in the day, Kaur strengthened India's weightlifting success story by clinching silver in the women's 69kg competition.

The Punjab lifter registered a career-best combined lift of 227kg, made up of 101kg in the snatch and 126kg in the clean and jerk, to finish second behind Canada's Charlotte Simoneau.

The silver carried added significance as Harjinder rewrote the Commonwealth Games snatch record twice during the competition before improving on the bronze medal she had secured at the Birmingham 2022 Games.

India's boxing contingent continued to impress, with three more pugilists advancing to the semifinals and assuring the country of at least three bronze medals.

Mandengbam Jadumani Singh booked his place in the men's 55kg last four after defeating Zambia's Mwengo Mwale, while Preeti Pawar dominated Northern Ireland's Nicole Clyde with a unanimous 5-0 verdict in the women's 54kg quarterfinal.

Asian champion Priya Ghanghas also kept her gold medal hopes alive after staging a spirited comeback against Scotland's Niamh Mitchell in the women's 60kg quarterfinal, recovering from the loss of the opening round to seal a semifinal berth.

It was, however, a mixed day inside the boxing ring. Parveen Hooda exited the women's 65kg event following a defeat to England's Sacha Hickey, while Kapil Pokhariya's challenge in the men's 90kg category ended after losing to Scotland's Robert McNulty.

Elsewhere, Vishal TK progressed to the men's 400m semifinals, although Rajesh Ramesh failed to advance.

High jumper Pooja Singh endured a disappointing outing in wet conditions, finishing outside the medals after being unable to clear 1.82m despite holding a personal best and national record of 1.93m.

Weightlifting also brought heartbreak as Nirupama Devi Seram failed to record a valid clean and jerk lift in the women's 63kg competition, resulting in a no-result.

In swimming, Srihari Nataraj reached the men's 100m backstroke semifinal but narrowly missed a place in the final. Sajan Prakash finished 28th overall in the men's 50m butterfly heats and was eliminated before the semifinals.

In para swimming, Karthik Budigina and Ali Imam finished sixth and eighth respectively in the men's 50m freestyle S13 final.

India also celebrated success in bowls, where the men's pairs team of Dinesh Kumar and Navneet Singh defeated the Cook Islands in sectional play. However, Nayanmoni Saikia suffered a 0-2 defeat to Wales' Amy Williams in the women's singles.

After six days of competition, India sits ninth in the medal standings with 12 medals comprising two gold, seven silver and three bronze, while Australia continues to dominate the table with 80 medals, including 35 gold.

The Indian contingent will now look to build on Tuesday's momentum as several medal contenders remain in action over the coming days.
