CWG 2026: Yamini Maurya Loses To Toprak, Wins Silver In Women's 57kg Judo
Yamini Maurya: It continued to be India's day in judo with Yamini Maurya winning a silver medal in the Women's 57kg, after going down to England's pre-event favourite Acelya Toprak in a bout that went the distance at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow on Friday.
In a close final that culminated in a next-score-wins situation, Yamini put up a big fight but conceded after 3 Shidos (penalties), which were converted to Ippon. Yamini thus lost by an Ippon (0-100) in a marathon bout.
Ultimately, Toprak proved too strong and won gold in a bout that lasted a lung-bursting six minutes, 54 seconds.
