India enjoyed another successful day at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Tuesday, with Gulveer Singh becoming the country's first men's 10,000m medallist in Games history and Harjinder Kaur winning silver in weightlifting. Three Indian boxers also secured semifinal places, guaranteeing the nation at least three more medals.

At the end of Day 6, India was ninth in the medal standings with 12 medals — two gold, seven silver and three bronze. Australia continued to top the table with 80 medals, including 35 gold, 18 silver and 27 bronze.

Gulveer, Harjinder shine with silver medals

Long-distance runner Gulveer Singh produced the standout performance of the day by claiming silver in the men's 10,000m. The Army athlete clocked 27:49.78, staying with the leading group before producing a strong final-lap sprint to finish behind Australia's Ky Robinson.

The result gave India its first-ever medal in the men's 10,000m at the Commonwealth Games.

Earlier, Harjinder Kaur opened India's account for the day with silver in the women's 69kg weightlifting event. The Punjab lifter recorded a career-best total of 227kg, lifting 101kg in the snatch and 126kg in the clean and jerk to finish behind Canada's Charlotte Simoneau.

Harjinder also rewrote the Commonwealth Games snatch record twice during the competition and improved on the bronze medal she won at the Birmingham 2022 Games.

Boxers guarantee at least three more medals

India's boxers maintained their impressive run by sending three more athletes into the semifinals, ensuring at least bronze medals.

In the men's 55kg category, Mandengbam Jadumani Singh defeated Zambia's Mwengo Mwale to reach the last four.

Preeti Pawar advanced to the women's 54kg semifinals after beating Northern Ireland's Nicole Clyde by a unanimous 5-0 verdict.

Reigning Asian champion Priya Ghanghas also progressed after fighting back to defeat Scotland's Niamh Mitchell in the women's 60kg quarterfinal. After losing the opening round, she recovered strongly to seal a semifinal berth and remain in contention for gold.

It was a mixed day for the rest of the boxing squad. Parveen Hooda exited after losing to England's Sacha Hickey in the women's 65kg quarterfinal, while Kapil Pokhariya's campaign ended with a defeat to Scotland's Robert McNulty in the men's 90kg quarterfinal.
