Commonwealth Games 2026 Day 9 is underway in Glasgow, Scotland, with India sitting on 17 medals as boxing reaches its semifinal stage and athletics enters its final day of competition. Friday, July 31 promises to be one of the busiest sessions of the Games, with three separate boxing sessions and a stacked athletics finals card both on tap.
Here is everything you need to know: results, medal table, schedule, and key highlights from Day 9 in Glasgow.
India enters Day 9 with 17 total medals: three gold, 10 silver, and four bronze. It sits 10th in the overall standings after Thursday’s weightlifting silver from Lovepreet Singh and a discus throw bronze from Seema Kaliramna.
Australia leads the overall medal table comfortably with 110 medals, including 51 gold, though Thursday marked their quietest day of the Games with just seven medals won. England holds second with 65 medals, including 15 gold, having overtaken Canada on a superior gold-medal count. The Canadians remain close behind in third.
Boxing dominates Friday’s schedule, with semifinal bouts spread across three separate sessions starting at 3 p.m., 7 p.m., and 11:30 p.m. IST. India has six boxers already guaranteed medals and fighting for a place in Saturday’s gold medal matches. Sakshi Choudhary, Jaismine Lamboria, Arundhati Choudhary, Sachin Siwach, Ankush Panghal, and Narender Berwal, alongside Lovlina Borgohain, who reached the semifinals directly via a quarterfinal bye.
Athletics closes out its Glasgow program on Day 9, with competition running from Friday afternoon into the early hours of Saturday. The session includes the final events of Tejaswin Shankar’s decathlon, along with a stacked finals card across sprints, hurdles, and throwing events. India’s athletics squad has its last major chance to add to the medal count before the discipline wraps up.
Thursday’s session gave India two more podium finishes as its weightlifting program came to a close. Lovepreet Singh won silver in the men’s 110+kg category, capping a strong overall showing for the Indian weightlifters across the Games. Seema Kaliramna added a bronze in the women’s discus throw, her maiden Commonwealth Games medal.
Six confirmed boxing medals are still to be decided by color over the coming two days. India’s medal tally is already certain to grow significantly before the Games close on August 2.
Boxing represents India’s biggest opportunity on Day 9, with six fighters already guaranteed at least bronze and each win Friday pushing them one step closer to gold on Saturday. Converting even two or three of those semifinal appearances into finals would mark one of India’s strongest single days of the entire Games.
Athletics also carries real weight, as this marks the discipline’s final day of competition in Glasgow. India’s remaining track and field hopefuls have little room left to make their mark.
