Lovlina Borgohain Secures India First Medal at Commonwealth Games 2026
Boxer Lovlina Borgohain confirmed India's first medal at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland, even before the opening ceremony (23 July 2026). In the women's 75 kg category, only five boxers entered, so she reached the semifinal without a bout; under CWG boxing rules, both losing semifinalists take bronze, guaranteeing her a podium finish. The Tokyo 2020 Olympic bronze medallist from Assam begins her campaign on 31 July, and this will be her maiden CWG podium.
