CWG 2026: Manpreet Finishes Fourth In Shot Put, Parul Ends Fifth In 3000m Steeplechase
Dilip Mahadu Gavit: On a superb evening in which Murali Sreeshankar, Dilip Gavit and Mohammed Basil won medals for India, the country's leading female shot-putter Manpreet Kaur narrowly missed the bronze medal in the women's shot put final in the Commonwealth Games 2026.
There was another setback for the country as top distance racer Parul Chaudhary, the Asian Games medallist, managed to finish fifth in the Women's 3000m Steeplechase.
It was Manpreet who suffered a heartbreak as she was in bronze position till the last round of throws, with Canada's Sarah Mitton establishing an early lead with a throw of 18.50m in his first throw.
