  • 179 Total Medals
  • 67 Gold Medals

The country has continued its impressive performance in Glasgow and is once again leading the medal standings.

England, Canada, India, and New Zealand are also expected to remain among the strongest medal contenders throughout the Games.

India Opens Medal Account Before the Main Competition

India achieved a unique milestone by winning its first medal even before the official medal events fully commenced.

Lovlina Borgohain Assured of a Medal

Olympic bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain received a bye in the women’s 75kg boxing quarterfinal, automatically advancing to the semifinal.

Since both losing semifinalists receive bronze medals in Commonwealth Games boxing, Lovlina is guaranteed at least a bronze medal.

The women’s 75kg category features only five boxers, with three athletes receiving direct semifinal berths:

  • Lovlina Borgohain (India)
  • Emma-Sue Greentree (Australia)
  • Tarona Khanum Badi Pasoni Taafaki (Tuvalu)

The only quarterfinal in the category is between:

  • Mary-Kate Smith (England)
  • Patricia Mbata (Nigeria)

Lovlina will face Tarona Taafaki of Tuvalu in the semifinal on 31 July 2026.

Lovlina Eyes Redemption After Birmingham Disappointment

The Glasgow Games provide Lovlina with an opportunity to make up for her disappointing campaign at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games, where she was eliminated in the quarterfinals after a closely contested 2-3 split decision defeat against Rosie Eccles of Wales in the 70kg category.

Having already secured a medal in Glasgow, the Indian boxer will now aim to reach the final and improve the colour of her medal.
