CWG 2026: President Droupadi Murmu Lauds Indian Athletes After Spectacular Show On Day 5
President Droupadi Murmu: In a proud moment for Indian sports, President Droupadi Murmu extended her heartfelt congratulations to Commonwealth Games 2026 Glasgow medal winners Sharmila Dhankar, Shilpa K. Shyla, Sarvesh Anil Kushare, and Valluri Ajaya Babu, praising their achievements on the global stage.
Sharmila produced a season-best throw of 9.81m to claim gold in Women's Shot Put F57, ending India's 20-year wait for a para-athletics medal at the Commonwealth Games. She also became the first Indian woman and the country's first para-athletics gold medallist at the Games.
Shilpa, meanwhile, added bronze with a personal-best effort of 7.26m after Nigeria's Eucharia Iyiazi had one of her attempts ruled invalid, promoting the Indian onto the podium.
