India closing in on its best Glasgow return
India’s campaign has been built around the consistency of its weightlifters and the emergence of new athletics stars. Weightlifting has already delivered eight medals, while athletics has contributed seven, its best return at the Games in recent years.
The boxing team also remains in contention for more medals, with multiple finalists set to compete before the Games conclude on 2 August.
Although Glasgow’s reduced sports programme excluded traditional Indian medal-heavy disciplines such as wrestling, badminton, table tennis and hockey, India has still produced one of its strongest overseas Commonwealth Games performances through standout displays in athletics, para sport, judo and weightlifting.
