Seema Kaliramna and Lovepreet Singh Shine at Commonwealth Games 2026

Seema Kaliramna Wins Bronze in Discus Throw

In a remarkable display at the Commonwealth Games 2026, India's Seema Kaliramna secured a bronze medal in the women's discus throw final. Jamaica's Samantha Hall took home the gold with a throw of 61.66 meters, while Canada's Julia Tunks earned silver with a distance of 60.67 meters. Seema's best throw reached 58.65 meters, placing her third on the podium.

Seema showcased her resilience after an initial foul, bouncing back with a throw of 57.32 meters before achieving her medal-winning distance in the third round. Another Indian competitor, Nidhi, narrowly missed a medal, finishing fourth with a throw of 57.10 meters.

Lovepreet Singh Claims Silver in Weightlifting

Indian weightlifter Lovepreet Singh achieved a silver medal in the Men's +110kg heavyweight category, delivering an impressive performance throughout the event. He appeared poised to win gold until a dramatic final lift from New Zealand's David Andrew Liti changed the outcome.

Lovepreet maintained a strong lead with consistent lifts, but Liti's final clean and jerk of 223 kilograms allowed him to overcome a 15-kilogram deficit, winning by just one kilogram. This silver medal marks an improvement from the bronze he secured at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, contributing to India's medal tally as the weightlifting events concluded.
