Mirabai Chanu And Lovlina Borgohain To Be Flag Bearers At Glasgow Commonwealth
Indian Olympic Association President PT: Olympic legends Mirabai Chanu and Lovlina Borgohain will be the flag and baton bearers when the Indian contingent steps out, dressed nattily, for the opening ceremony of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on July 23.
Announcing the names on Saturday, Indian Olympic Association President PT Usha said, “It is a matter of pride: Mirabai and Lovlina will be doing the honours at the OVO Hydro. I wish both the girls and the entire contingent good luck.”
Indeed, for Mirabai and Lovlina, both medallists from the Tokyo Olympics, this will be a moment of pride. Mirabai, who is aiming for glory at the CWG again in Glasgow, won a silver medal in Tokyo. She is coming back strongly and will show energy and enthusiasm when the 126-member Indian team is seen in action during the Commonwealth Games. Lovlina, who won a bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics, is a strong contender for a medal this time in Glasgow.
