History is not always written in a single defining moment. Sometimes, it is built punch by punch.

Indian boxing delivered its greatest-ever performance at the Commonwealth Games, producing an unprecedented haul of 10 medals, including a record seven golds and three silvers, as India's overall tally climbed to 39 medals in Glasgow.

No nation has ever won as many boxing gold medals in a single edition of the Commonwealth Games, underlining India's growing dominance in the ring. With 13 gold, 17 silver and nine bronze medals overall, the Indian contingent has continued to build momentum across multiple disciplines.

Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain added to the tally with a silver medal in the women's 75kg event after an impressive run to the final.

India's medal journey in Glasgow had begun with para powerlifter Jhandu Kumar, who claimed bronze to open the country's account.

Weightlifter Rishikanta Singh then became the first able-bodied Indian medallist of the Games by winning silver in the men's 60kg category, while also setting a new Commonwealth Games record in the snatch.

Mirabai Chanu once again showcased her supremacy by clinching India's first gold medal of the Games and completing a remarkable hat-trick of Commonwealth Games titles.

Indian judo also entered the history books as Asmita Dey secured the country's maiden Commonwealth Games gold in the sport before Harsh Singh joined the list of champions with another gold.

Athletics, too, witnessed landmark achievements. Tejaswin Shankar became the first Indian to win a Commonwealth Games medal in the decathlon with bronze, while distance runner Gulveer Singh etched his name into the record books by becoming the first Indian athlete to win two track and field medals at a single Commonwealth Games, taking silver in the men's 10,000m and bronze in the 5,000m.

Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra returned to the Commonwealth Games podium by winning silver in the men's javelin throw, adding a second Commonwealth Games medal to his collection after his Gold Coast 2018 triumph.

Chopra had missed the Birmingham 2022 edition while recovering from injury.

India also signed off from the para-sports competition with its finest-ever Commonwealth Games campaign, collecting seven medals, comprising three gold, two silver and two bronze.

Para athletics accounted for six of those medals, ending India's 20-year wait for a Commonwealth Games para athletics medal while producing three gold, two silver and one bronze. Para powerlifting contributed the remaining bronze.

Indian para-athletes also achieved double podium finishes in three events, the women's shot put F57, men's shot put F57 and men's 100m T47.

India's all-time best Commonwealth Games outing, however, remains the 2010 Delhi edition, where the hosts amassed 101 medals, including 39 gold, 26 silver and 36 bronze, to finish second in the overall standings.
