It was yet another successful day for India at the Commonwealth Games 2022 as the country added four medals to the tally – all bronze – to take the overall medal count to 17. While Lovepreet Singh began the medal-winning streak with a bronze in weightlifting men’s 109kg event, Saurav Ghosal became the first Indian to win a men’s singles medal with another bronze. While Gurdeep Singh also secured a third podium finish in weightlifting men’s 109+kg (another bronze), Tejaswin Shankar finally opened India’s tally in the track and field events as he finished third.
The Indian made successful first attempts in all of his high jumps at 2.10m, 2.15m, 2.19m, and 2.22m jumps inside a packed Alexander Stadium. Shankar did falter twice in the attempts to jump over the 2.25m bar but his successful attempt at 2.22m was enough to secure a third-place finish, as his nearest competitor – Bahamas’ Donald Thomas, failed in his all three tries for the same mark.
With India’s all four medals being bronze, the athletes will aim at changing the colour of the medal on Day 7 (Thursday) at the Commonwealth Games 2022. Murali Sreeshankar will be India’s biggest hopes on the day as he presents India’s challenge in the men’s long jump final.
