India's Performance — Sport by Sport

🏋️Weightlifting — India’s Star Sport (6 medals)

Weightlifting has once again been the cornerstone of India’s CWG campaign. From Mirabai Chanu’s commanding hat-trick gold to five additional podium finishes across both genders, India’s lifters have performed brilliantly at the SEC Armadillo venue. 6 medals from 6 events contested is a remarkable conversion rate.

Multiple other boxers are in quarterfinals on Day 5, with Preeti Pawar (W 54kg), Priya Ghanghas (W 60kg), Parveen Hooda (W 65kg), and Jadumani Singh (M 55kg) all in action. Several of these are medal events by the time they reach the semi-final stage.

  • Lovlina Borgohain — Minimum Bronze guaranteed (W 75kg)

  • Preeti Pawar, Priya Ghanghas, Kapil Pokhariya — quarterfinals on Day 5
🏊Swimming

Srihari Nataraj is India’s best hope in the pool at Glasgow 2026. The Indian men’s 4x200m freestyle relay team — Nataraj, Aryan Nehra, Aneesh Gowda, and Dhakshan Shashikumar — qualified for the final, finishing sixth. Srihari is also competing in the 100m Backstroke. Sajan Prakash is in action in the 50m Butterfly. No medals yet from swimming, but Nataraj remains a dark horse contender.

⚫Para Powerlifting — Emotional Start

Jhandu Kumar from Nalanda, Bihar, opened India’s entire medal tally with a courageous bronze in the men’s para powerlifting heavyweight category. A polio survivor who once drove an e-rickshaw during the pandemic, Kumar lifted 190kg under the bodyweight coefficient system to

Why No Badminton, Wrestling or Hockey?

Missing Sports at CWG 2026

One of the most common questions Indians are asking is: where are badminton, wrestling, and hockey — three of India’s most medal-rich sports at past Commonwealth Games? The answer lies in the programme restructuring for Glasgow 2026. The Commonwealth Games Federation significantly reduced the number of sports for this edition due to cost and organisational constraints, with the host city Scotland taking over at short notice after Australia (Victoria) withdrew in 2023. As a result, many traditional medal-winners for India — including shooting (which gave India 16 medals at CWG 2018), wrestling, and badminton — are absent from Glasgow 2026. This makes India’s early haul of 10 medals even more impressive, coming almost entirely from weightlifting, athletics, boxing, and para sports.

FAQ — CWG 2026 India Medal Tally

As of July 28, 2026 (Day 5 of 11), India has won 10 medals at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow — 2 Gold, 5 Silver, and 3 Bronze. Weightlifting has been the dominant sport, contributing 6 out of the 10 medals. More medals are expected in boxing, athletics, and remaining weightlifting events.

Mirabai Chanu won India's first gold medal at the Commonwealth Games 2026 on Day 3 (July 26, 2026). She claimed the women's 48kg weightlifting title with a total lift of 190kg (85kg snatch + 105kg clean and jerk), setting new Commonwealth and Games records in the process. It was her third consecutive CWG gold (2018, 2022, 2026).

India's first medal at CWG 2026 was a Bronze won by para powerlifter Jhandu Kumar in the men's heavyweight category on Day 2 (July 24-25). Kumar, a polio survivor from Bihar who once drove an e-rickshaw during the pandemic, lifted 190kg for a coefficient score of 130.9 points to secure the bronze.

The Commonwealth Games 2026 are being held in Glasgow, Scotland, from July 23 to August 2, 2026. This is the 22nd edition of the Commonwealth Games. Glasgow previously hosted the CWG in 2014, making it a familiar venue for many athletes. India also last won their 2014 CWG gold medals in this very city — particularly Mirabai Chanu (silver then) and several others.

Yes! Neeraj Chopra is competing at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow. He leads India's 32-member athletics squad. Chopra had won gold at CWG 2018 in Gold Coast but was forced to skip CWG 2022 in Birmingham due to injury. He's back and is among the biggest medal favourites at Glasgow. His javelin throw final is one of the most anticipated events remaining at the Games.

Glasgow 2026 has a significantly smaller sporting programme than previous editions due to the city stepping in as an emergency host after Victoria (Australia) withdrew in 2023. The revised programme does not include shooting, wrestling, badminton, or hockey — traditionally among India's strongest medal-winning sports at the CWG. Despite this, India's athletes have performed remarkably well, particularly in weightlifting, boxing, and athletics.

Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu served as India's flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, with boxer Lovlina Borgohain serving as the baton bearer. Both are among India's most celebrated athletes on the international stage.

Australia is comfortably leading the CWG 2026 medal tally with 13+ golds and 39+ total medals as of Day 4-5. Their swim program has been the primary driver of success, with 11 of their first 13 golds coming from the pool. Nigeria and host nation Scotland are behind Australia, while India and England are also in the top tier of the standings.
