<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIndia enjoyed another eventful day at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Thursday, collecting a silver and a bronze medal while several athletes advanced to finals across athletics and bowls, and others concluded their campaigns.Weightlifter Lovepreet Singh narrowly missed out on gold in the men’s +110kg category before settling for silver, while Seema Kaliramna battled through a difficult women’s discus throw final to secure bronze. Elsewhere, Tejaswin Shankar ended the opening day of the decathlon in medal contention, all three Indian javelin throwers progressed to the final, and both of the country’s triple jump representatives also booked their places in the medal round.By the end of Day 8, India’s overall medal tally stood at 17 medals (3 gold, 10 silver and 4 bronze).<\/p>\n India’s day began on the weightlifting platform with Lovepreet Singh producing one of the best performances of his career in the men’s +110kg final.Lovepreet lifted 176kg in the snatch, setting a new Indian national record, before following it with another national record of 212kg in the clean and jerk. His combined total of 388kg earned him the silver medal, finishing just 1kg behind New Zealand’s David Liti, who claimed gold.The result also capped India’s weightlifting campaign with an eighth medal from the sport at the Glasgow Games.Later in the women’s +86kg competition, Martina Devi Maibam narrowly missed out on a podium finish.
