The Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow continue with another action-packed day for India on Friday, July 31, with Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra headlining the country's medal prospects in the men's javelin throw final.
Neeraj advanced to the final after finishing fifth in the qualification round. He will be joined by Rohit Yadav, who qualified ninth, and Yash Vir Singh, who secured the 10th and final qualifying spot, ensuring India has three representatives in the medal event.
India will also be in contention for medals in athletics through Praveen Chithravel and Selva Prabhu, who qualified second and third respectively for the men's triple jump final.
Tejaswin Shankar resumes his decathlon campaign after ending Thursday in second place following the 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump and 400m events. He has five disciplines remaining, including the pole vault, javelin throw and the concluding 1500m race.
