Indian female athletes script history at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow by securing top honors across boxing and judo events. Five women boxers—Sakshi, Jaismine, Priya, Arundhati, and Preeti—clinched gold medals for India, overcoming intense physical struggles, weight cuts, severe illness, and rigorous mental preparation. Sakshi detailed the extreme pressure of weight management and maintaining performance, while Jaismine shared how she overcame a severe bacterial infection right before the games.
In judo, 23-year-old Asmita secured a historic gold medal in a tense contest against her Canadian opponent, drawing strength from her late father's belief and support from coach Yashpal Solanki, an Arjuna awardee. Solanki highlighted the role of mental fortitude, technique, and dedication, drawing inspiration from spiritual texts like the Bhagavad Gita to guide young athletes.
