Seema Kaliramna Shines with Bronze in Women's Discus at Commonwealth Games 2026

Seema Kaliramna's Remarkable Performance

Glasgow [Scotland], July 31: In a stunning display at the Commonwealth Games 2026, India's Seema Kaliramna clinched a bronze medal in the women's discus throw final.

Jamaica's Samantha Hall took home the gold with an impressive throw of 61.66m, while Canada's Julia Tunks secured silver with a throw of 60.67m. Seema's best effort reached 58.65m, earning her a well-deserved third place.

Seema faced an early setback with a foul on her first attempt but quickly recovered, recording a throw of 57.32m before achieving her medal-winning distance in the third round.

In another highlight, Indian weightlifter Lovepreet Singh earned a silver medal in the Men's +110kg heavyweight category. His performance was commendable, as he consistently led the competition until a dramatic final lift from New Zealand's David Andrew Liti changed the outcome.

Lovepreet showcased remarkable strength and composure throughout the event, but Liti's final lift of 223kg in the clean and jerk allowed him to surpass Lovepreet by just one kilogram, snatching victory from the Indian lifter.

This silver medal marks an improvement from Lovepreet's bronze at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, adding to India's medal tally as the weightlifting events concluded.

Additionally, Indian long-distance runner Parul Chaudhary finished her Commonwealth Games 2026 journey with a 13th-place result in the women's 5000m final, clocking a time of 15:08.56 seconds.
