India ahead of Wales in the standings.
India was close behind in tenth place with five gold medals, 12 silver medals, and six bronze medals, taking the country’s total medal count to 23. Another medal would have moved India ahead of Wales in the standings. Harsh Singh won a gold medal in the men’s category, while Asmita De claimed gold in the women’s 48-kilogram judo event. Neeraj Chopra added a silver medal in the javelin throw, and another Indian athlete secured a bronze medal in the same event.
Neeraj Chopra has lost his crown of no 1 ?
Neeraj Chopra entered the 2026 Commonwealth Games as one of the favorites to win gold. The Indian star, who is an Olympic champion, world champion, Asian Games champion, and former Commonwealth Games gold medallist, finished with a season-best throw of 85.83 metres to secure the silver medal. However, Sri Lanka’s rising star, Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage, stunned the athletics world by winning the gold medal with a remarkable throw of 89.75 metres. India’s Yashvir Singh claimed the bronze medal with a personal best throw of 85.41 metres. Although many reports have described this victory as a major setback for Neeraj Chopra, there is currently no official confirmation that he has lost the world No. 1 ranking because of this event alone. World Athletics rankings are calculated using performances from multiple competitions rather than a single tournament.
The Medals Table
Jamaica was in eleventh place, Kenya occupied twelfth place, and Sri Lanka celebrated a historic achievement when one of its athletes defeated Neeraj Chopra in the javelin throw final to win the country’s first-ever gold medal in the event.https://www.glasgow2026.com/medals
