India’s campaign at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow enters July 31 with Neeraj Chopra headlining the evening session, as the Olympic and world champion returns to the circle for the men’s javelin throw final at 12:45 am on August 1 (IST).
Chopra advanced from the qualifying round in fifth position with a best throw of 79.61m and will be joined in the final by compatriots Rohit Yadav and Yash Vir Singh, as he chases a second Commonwealth Games gold following his triumph at Gold Coast 2018.
Tejaswin Shankar continues his decathlon campaign through the day, competing in the 110m hurdles, discus throw and pole vault finals in the afternoon before closing out with the javelin throw final and a first 1500m heat past midnight. The two-time Commonwealth
medallist enters the day in fifth position overall after the opening three events on Thursday.
Boxing dominates India’s medal prospects on July 31, with as many as nine Indians in action across the semifinal stage, a round that guarantees at least a bronze medal to each fighter. Preeti (54kg), Jaismine (57kg), Arundhati Choudhary (70kg), Sakshi (51kg), Priya (60kg) and Lovlina Borgohain (75kg) lead the women’s contingent, while Ankush (80kg), Jadumani Singh Mandengbam (55kg) and Sachin (60kg) feature for the men, alongside Narender in the 90+kg category.
