Boxers Jaismine Lamboria and Preeti Pawar won India gold medals in the women's 57kg and women's 54kg categories respectively, at the 2026 Commonwealth Games on Saturday.
Preeti Pawar claimed the gold with a dominant 5–0 victory over Canada's Scarlett Delgado in the women's 54kg before reigning world champion Jaismine won her final bout with the same scoreline against Northern Ireland's Michaela Walsh, the defending champion.
Jaismine took the first round by a split verdict after a close contest with both boxers challenging each other. However, she won the second round by a unanimous verdict, having landed some hard blows on her opponent.
The 22-year-old Preeti had secured a flawless 5–0 unanimous-decision victory against Zambia's Catherine Mwape in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, triple jumpers Praveen Chitravel and Selva Prabhu Thirumaran bagged silver and bronze medals.
Asian Games bronze medallist Chitravel bettered his effort in Glasgow with a silver, which he fetched by covering a distance of 16.58m. Selva Prabhu came close, managing 16.52m — his first medal in international competitions.
Jamaica's Jordan Scott won the gold medal in the event with a 16.72m jump.
Earlier, India's Ramesh Shanmugam ended up seventh, clocking a time of 3:23.59 in the men's T54 1500m final in the para-athletics segment.
