Commonwealth Games 2026 Day 7 is underway in Glasgow, Scotland, and India’s medal race is heating up fast. Weightlifting, boxing, athletics, and swimming are all delivering finals on the same day, so Wednesday, July 29, is shaping up as one of the most jam-packed sessions of the Games so far.
Here is everything you need to know: results, medal table, schedule, and key highlights from Day 7 in Glasgow.
India has climbed to 12 total medals: two gold, seven silver, and three bronze, currently sitting eighth in the overall standings. That puts India just behind South Africa and Malaysia, who are tied on three golds apiece, leaving the door open for a push into the top six depending on how Wednesday’s five scheduled finals go.
Australia continues to lead the overall medal table, with its swimming program still doing the heaviest lifting toward the gold count. England remains in the chasing pack, while host nation Scotland keeps riding a wave of home support across the OVO Hydro and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.
Weightlifting opens India’s medal hopes for the day, with Sanjana competing in the women’s 77kg final at 2 p.m. IST as the first realistic medal opportunity on the schedule.
Boxing brings a stacked quarterfinal slate. Six Indian fighters- Sakshi Choudhary, Jaismine Lamboria, Arundhati Choudhary, Sachin Siwach, Ankush Yadav, and Narender Berwal- all look to punch their way into guaranteed medal territory by securing semifinal spots.
Athletics is packed as well. Murali Sreeshankar and Lokesh Satyanathan compete in the men’s long jump final, Manpreet Kaur features in the women’s shot put final, and Parul Chaudhary runs the women’s 3000m steeplechase. Animesh Kujur races the men’s 200m heats, while Tajinderpal Singh Toor begins men’s shot put qualification.
Swimming wraps up its Glasgow program on Day 7. Sajan Prakash, Aneesh Gowda, and Aryan Nehra are all in the pool for India’s final day of action, including the men’s 200m freestyle and 1500m freestyle finals. Para-swimmers Suyash Jadhav and Chaitanya Kulkarni also compete in the men’s S7 50m freestyle, while para-athletes Devender Kumar and Sagar Thayat feature in the discus throw final.
Tuesday’s session already produced a landmark moment for India’s athletics program. Sarvesh Kushare won silver in the men’s high jump, India’s first athletics medal of these Games, clearing 2.25m before eventual gold medalist Romaine Beckford settled it on fewer attempts. Para-athlete Sharmila Dhankar added India’s second gold of the Games with a personal-best 9.81m throw in the women’s shot put F57. Gyaneshwari Yadav and V. Ajaya Babu picked up weightlifting silvers, and Bindyarani Devi and Shilpa K. Shyla each added bronze.
Boxer Lovlina Borgohain has already guaranteed herself at least a bronze medal after a quarterfinal bye placed her directly into the semifinals. This gives India a confirmed medal before she’s even fought in Glasgow.
India already has 12 medals banked, and with five finals still to come, Day 7 has real potential to be its biggest single day of these Games. Weightlifting and combat sports have carried the load so far. A strong showing from the athletics group, especially in the long jump and shot put finals, would mark a genuine turning point for a squad still chasing its first Commonwealth Games swimming medal.
Converting quarterfinal wins into guaranteed medals in the boxing ring would also be a significant boost, given how deep India’s contingent runs in that sport this year.
