India expected at least an athletics medal on the fifth day of Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, but it wasn't to be. Women's discus throwers, Seema Punia and Navjeet Kaur Dhillon, both medallists in the previous edition, failed to impress. Star sprinter Dutee Chand also faltered, finishing 27th overall in the women's 100m preliminary heat. But Murali Sreeshankar and Muhammed Anees Yahiya in men's long jump, and Manpreet Kaur in women's shot put have qualified for the finals.
