Jaismine Lamboria Advances to Final

Glasgow [Scotland], July 31: Indian boxer Jaismine Lamboria has set her sights on clinching the gold medal after successfully reaching the final in the women's 57kg category at the Commonwealth Games 2026 on Friday.

Lamboria showcased an impressive performance, defeating Lesotho's Rapelang Maselela by Referee Stop Contest (RSC) in the semifinals, thereby securing at least a silver medal for India.

Following her semifinal triumph, Lamboria expressed her commitment to giving her all in the gold medal match, emphasizing the extensive preparation that has gone into her campaign. "I will strive to win a gold medal for my country tomorrow. I need to give 100%. I want to demonstrate the hard work we've put in," she stated.

As the reigning world champion, she had previously overcome England's Elise Glynn to reach the semifinals, displaying her skill and control throughout the match, as noted by ESPN.

Utilizing her height advantage effectively, Jaismine maintained her composure against Maselela's aggressive style, landing cleaner punches. Her precision and movement earned her a unanimous 5-0 score in the opening round.

Continuing her strong performance in the second round, she unleashed powerful combinations that prompted the referee to issue a standing count against Maselela. With the Lesotho boxer struggling to respond, Jaismine landed additional impactful punches, leading to further standing counts.

After the third standing count, the referee halted the contest, awarding Jaismine a decisive RSC victory and securing her spot in the gold medal match.

India has now amassed a total of 19 medals in Glasgow, including five gold, nine silver, and five bronze.
