CWG 2026 India Schedule, Day 9: Neeraj Chopra, the brightest among Indian athletes in recent times, will go for gold at the Commonwealth Games 2026

The 28-year-old boxer from Assam is assured of at least a bronze medal after receiving a direct entry into the women's 75kg semifinals because of the five-boxer draw.

The Commonwealth Games 2026 are yet to begin, but India have already secured their first medal even before the opening ceremony.

India's 125-member contingent heads to Glasgow with familiar strengths and a handful of genuine gold medal hopes.

A 126-member Indian athlete contingent will vie for medals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, starting in Glasgow, Scotland, on Thursday.

Olympic medallists Mirabai Chanu and Lovlina Borgohain will serve as India's flag and baton bearers at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

For an athlete who has claimed almost every medal of consequence in amateur boxing, the lack of a podium finish in Commonwealth Games is bound to rankle.

Lovlina Borgohain, Sakshi Chaudhary, Jadumani Singh and Narender Berwal headlined the final day of selection trials in Patiala on Friday as the boxers sealed their spots for the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games.

Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain and two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen will spearhead the 20-member Indian contingent at the Asian Boxing Championships in Mongolia from March 28-April 11.

India wrapped up a highly successful BOXAM Elite International 2026 with a dominant showing on the final day.
