Tajinderpal Singh Toor, Samardeep Singh Gill Highlights, CWG 2026 Shot Put Final: IND Athletes Fail To Secure Medals

Tajinderpal Singh Toor and Samardeep Singh Gill in Men's Shot Put Final (Medal Event). The event will be held at 11:30pm IST.

In the qualifications, Toor made two attempts to surpass the automatic qualification mark of 20m. His initial throw recorded a distance of 19.93m, followed by a second throw that reached 20.14m.

In the qualification round of Group B, Gill achieved his best throw of the day with a distance of 19.95m during his first attempt. His second throw recorded a distance of 19.75m, while his third attempt resulted in a foul.

Gill is set to go first, while Toor will be the last to take his turn. There are a total of 12 throwers, all of whom will compete in the initial three throws. Following that, the top eight performers will have an additional three throws.

Now, Gill steps up for his first attempt and it appears to be a solid throw. The distance is measured at 19.56m.

As Toor prepares for his second throw, he aims to improve his position in the rankings. However, the throw measures only 19.98m, which leaves him dissatisfied.

Wow, Gill's third attempt seems to be quite impressive. The distance is 20.03m! This places him in fifth place, just behind Toor. Remember, after three attempts, only the top eight will be granted three more attempts.

Toor is making his third attempt now. He requires a significant throw...will he succeed? He seems pleased with his effort. It appeared promising...20.27m, which elevates him to fifth place. In the meantime, Gill concludes his performance in seventh after three throws, so he will have three additional opportunities.

His top throw of 20.27m was achieved during his third attempt. To advance to fourth place, he requires a minimum distance of 20.32m. He appears pleased with his second-to-last throw. Nevertheless, this attempt is recorded at 20.26m, keeping him in fifth position.

Samardeep Singh Gill's final attempt in his Commonwealth Games debut does not go well. Intentionally stepping out, he commits a foul. Ultimately, he secures seventh place with a top throw of 20.03m.

Tajinderpal finishes fifth whereas Nigeria’s Enekwechi wins gold after finishing with a 19.47m throw. But his penultimate throw of 21.07m proved enough for him to win the event!
