Indian swimmers reach final, sprinter misses semifinals at Commonwealth Games
Indian swimmer Sajan Prakash qualified for the men’s 200 m butterfly final in Glasgow, posting a time of 1:58.59 to rank sixth overall in the heats. The 32‑year‑old also holds a career‑best of 1:57.09 set earlier this year.
In athletics, long jumper Murali Sreeshankar secured a place in the men’s long jump final with an 8.01 m effort, while hurdler Tejas Shirse advanced to the 110 m hurdles final after recording 13.76 s in his heat. By contrast, India’s fastest sprinter Gurindervir Singh ran 10.39 s in his 100 m opening‑round heat, finishing 28th overall and missing the semifinals.
India also added a silver medal in the men’s 65 kg weightlifting final through Raja Muthupandi, complementing earlier successes such as Mirabai Chanu’s gold in weightlifting.
