  • Praveen Chithravel Redeems Missing Podium In Birmingham As He Wins A Historic Silver Medal In Glasgow CWG 2026

    Praveen Chithravel delivered a resilient performance to secure a brilliant silver medal in the men's triple jump event at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Competing amidst exceptionally harsh, freezing weather conditions at Scotstoun Stadium, the Indian national record holder overcame a slow start where he languished in fifth place after the initial three rounds. Finding his rhythm in the fourth attempt, Praveen Chithravel uncorked a stellar 16.58m leap to briefly surge into the lead, before ultimately finishing second behind Jamaica's gold-medallist Jordan Scott. This emotional podium finish marked sweet redemption for the 24-year-old athlete, who had suffered heartbreak by missing out on a medal by mere centimeters at the 2022 Birmingham Games, capping off a four-year journey of relentless dedication.

  • Lovlina Borgohain Fails To Step Up In Final As Former Olympic Medalist Settles For Silver At Glasgow 2026

    Lovlina Borgohain's silver medal finish in the women's 75kg category at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow left a profound sense of disappointment. Entering the multi-sport event as an Olympic bronze medallist and former world champion, expectations were immensely high for the elite Indian star. However, her path to the podium starkly lacked competitive depth, featuring a sparse draw of only five total entrants in her weight class. Benefiting from a direct bye straight into the semi-finals, she was guaranteed a medal without stepping into the ring initially. Having played just one match to reach the final—where she defeated Tuvalu's Tarona Taafaki—she arrived at the gold-medal bout undercooked. In the final against Australia's Emma-Sue Greentree, hampered by a heavily strapped left knee, she managed a win in only one round before slipping to a 4-1 split decision defeat. Winning just a single bout to settle for silver felt profoundly underwhelming for an athlete of her stature.
