Sreeshankar wins second straight Commonwealth Games silver

Murali Sreeshankar continued his impressive Commonwealth Games run by winning silver in the men's long jump with a best effort of 8.09 metres.


Sreeshankar, who had also finished second at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, became the first Indian athlete to win back-to-back Commonwealth Games medals in the event.

His opening jump of 8.03 metres placed him third behind Scotland's Stephen McKenzie and Jamaica's Tajay Gayle, who both recorded 8.08 metres. Sreeshankar later moved to the top with an 8.09-metre effort, but Gayle produced a winning jump of 8.15 metres to claim gold.

McKenzie finished with bronze after his 8.08-metre effort, while India's Lokesh Sathyanathan secured fifth place with a best jump of 7.97 metres.

Dilip Gavit creates history in para athletics

India achieved a historic one-two finish in the men's 100m T47 event, which features athletes with upper-limb impairments.

Dilip Mahadu Gavit won the gold medal after clocking a Games record time of 10.71 seconds. Mohammed Basil Morssinganakathi secured silver with a season-best timing of 10.83 seconds.

Gavit's gold was India's third top-podium finish at the Games after Mirabai Chanu's women's 48kg weightlifting gold and Sharmila Dhankar's victory in the women's shot put F57 event.
