Commonwealth Games 2026: Updated medal tally after Day 4, July 27
The first gold medal on Day 4 went to Nigeria’s Onome Didih
The Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow featured 27 medal events on Day 4, across various disciplines such as athletics, artistic gymnastics apparatus finals, weightlifting, and swimming. The day also marked the start of athletics and para-athletics competition finals.
India made a strong start to the track-and-field action, picking up three medals through the men’s high jump and women’s shot put F57.
Sharmila Dhankar was in superb touch throughout the women’s shot put F57 final, clearing 9m with every single attempt and saving her best for the third throw at 9.81m to take gold. Team-mate Shilpa Shyla backed her up nicely too, crossing the 7m mark on her third attempt to seal bronze at 7.26m.

The event did throw up a surprise though, with pre-event favourite Eucharia Iyaizi failing to record a single valid mark. In the high jump, Sarvesh Kushare fought hard for silver, clearing every height cleanly until 2.25m, which took him three attempts, before narrowly missing out on 2.28m.
It wasn’t as smooth for the rest of India’s track & field contingent, though, with Aadarsh Ram Jothi Shankar fifth in the same event, Tejaswin Shankar unable to register a mark while looking injured, and Rakeshbhai Bhatt, Shreyansh Trivedi and Tejas Shirse all finishing well down the field in their respective sprint and hurdles finals.
Weightlifting continued to be India’s most reliable medal source, adding three more to the pile. Gyaneshwari Yadav was faultless across all six lifts in the women’s 53kg category to take silver.
Bindyarani Devi won bronze in the Women’s 58kg with a strong second-attempt clean and jerk of 112kg that put her 3kg clear of England’s Eliza Pratt.
There was a small heartbreak for Valluri Ajaya Babu in the men’s 79kg final as he had actually broken the Games Record in Snatch with a 149kg lift only to watch Malaysia’s Erry Hidayat Muhammad respond with 184kg right at the death to steal gold away from him. He settled for silver.
