India's campaign at the Commonwealth Games 2026 will gather further momentum on Monday with athletes competing across several disciplines as the athletics programme officially gets underway in Glasgow. India finally got off the mark as far as gold medals are concerned after Mirabai Chanu won the top prize in the women's 48kg event. July 26 turned out to be fruitful in weightlifting as Rishikanta Singh also won a silver medal in the men's 60kg category.
On Monday, the spotlight will be on the men's high jump final, where Sarvesh Kushare, Tejaswin Shankar and J Aadarsh Ram will represent India in pursuit of a podium finish. Tejas Shirse will also begin his campaign in the 110m hurdles, aiming to progress through the heats and secure a place in the final later in the day.
Following an encouraging start in weightlifting, the Indian contingent will look to build on its medal tally. Gyaneshwari Yadav, Bindyarani Devi and V Ajaya Babu are all scheduled to compete.
