Commonwealth Games 2026 Day 6 Live Updates: Boxer Preeti Pawar reaches semi-finals, secures India medal in Glasgow - The Tech Word News

Commonwealth Games 2026 Live Updates on Day 6: A day after enjoying their most successful outing at these Commonwealth Games, India returns to action with renewed confidence and several opportunities to win medals in various disciplines. Monday belonged to the Indian contingent that bagged six medals, highlighted by Sharmila Dhankar’s historic gold in the women’s shot put F57 — India’s first ever para-athletics gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. Silver medals from Sarvesh Kushare, Valluri Ajaya Babu and Gyaneshwari Yadav along with bronze medals from Shilpa K. Shyla and Bindyarani Devi took India’s total to 10.

Attention now turns to Tuesday, where the challenge is to build on this momentum. Weightlifting once again offers India’s strongest medal prospects, with Nirupama Devi Seram and Harjinder Kaur competing in their respective finals after the discipline produced several podium finishes the previous day.

The boxing ring promises another crucial session as Preeti Pawar, Priya Ghanghas, Parveen Hooda, Jadumani Singh and Kapil Pokhariya contest the quarter-finals. A win in any of these matches will guarantee at least a bronze medal, making it one of the busiest and most important events of the day.

Athletics also offers medal opportunities, with Pooja Singh featuring in the women’s high jump final and Gulveer Singh in the men’s 10,000m final. Earlier in the day, Vishal TK and Rajesh Ramesh will compete in the men’s 400m heats.

Swimming and para swimming round out India’s schedule, with Sajan Prakash and Srihari Nataraj targeting semi-final berths, while Karthik Budigina and Ali Imam open their campaigns in the men’s 50m freestyle S13 event.

After a memorable Monday that brought history and six medals, the Indian contingent will be eager to maintain the momentum as another packed day of competition unfolds in Glasgow.
