Women's Shot Put Final Highlights, Commonwealth Games 2026 Updates: Manpreet Kaur Ends At Fourth Spot And Outside Podium

Hello and welcome back! We're here with another live blog as India's Manpreet Kaur takes centre stage in the men's long jump final at the Commonwealth Games 2026. Stay with us for live updates, throw-by-throw action, results and all the key moments from Glasgow.

Manpreet Kaur enters her campaign carrying strong renewed momentum, highlighted by a gold-medal-winning performance at the Indian Series-5 in Sangrur where she registered a season-best throw of 17.33m. Marking the best throw by an Indian woman in nearly two years and her own finest performance in almost three seasons, that clutch final-round effort signaled a sharp return to form for the experienced campaigner. Armed with a battle-tested competitive pedigree and her trademark consistency in the throwing circle, she arrives in Glasgow ready to translate her domestic progress onto the major international stage.

Manpreet Kaur gets her campaign underway in the opening round with a solid throw of 15.92m, placing her fourth overall as she looks to build rhythm. Meanwhile, Canada's Sarah Mitton sets an early benchmark at the top of the standings by launching a commanding 18.50m effort.

Manpreet Kaur steps up her game in the second round with a vastly improved throw of 16.66m, solidifying her fourth-place standing as she edges closer to the 17-meter mark. Meanwhile, Canada's Sarah Mitton extends her dominance at the top with a massive 18.91m effort, followed closely by Jessica Oji in second with 17.70m and Lloydricia Cameron holding third at 17.40m.

Following a chaotic start marred by a major collision that saw three athletes thrown from their wheelchairs—leaving Mauritius' Noemi Alphonse and New Zealand's Eliza Ault-Connell unable to finish—the race jury has concluded its review with major repercussions.

Canada's Nandini Sharma, who had initially crossed the line for the silver medal, has been officially disqualified for her involvement in the start-line crash.

While Scotland's Melanie Woods remains safely untouchable in the gold-medal position thanks to a dominant, flawless performance that kept her well clear of the early drama, the podium has shifted:

Gold: Melanie Woods (SCO)

Silver: Ellis Kottas (ENG) (Promoted from bronze)

Bronze: Mikaela Dingley (AUS) (Elevated to the bronze medal)

Manpreet Kaur logs a steady 16.89m on her fourth attempt, keeping her firmly in fourth place with two throws remaining as she continues to hunt for a podium spot. Canada's Sarah Mitton extends her commanding lead at the summit with a massive 19.15m hurl, followed by Jessica Oji in second with 17.87m and Lloydricia Cameron holding third at 17.40m.

Jamaica's Lloydricia Cameron delivers a clutch final throw of 17.87m to surpass the battle for the podium, leaving Manpreet Kaur needing a massive response on her final attempt. Unfortunately, Manpreet fouls her last throw, ending her inspiring campaign in fourth place with a best effort of 17.49m.
