India Gets Off to a Flying Start at Commonwealth Games

India made a strong start on the opening day of the Commonwealth Games, recording victories in lawn bowls and securing a medal in boxing. Star boxer Lovlina Borgohain confirmed her first-ever Commonwealth Games medal without stepping into the ring after receiving a direct qualification into the next stage. Her achievement marked a positive beginning for the Indian contingent.

Young Indian boxers Preeti Pawar (54 kg), Jasmine Lamboria (57 kg), and Priya Ghanghas (60 kg) also received first-round byes, helping them advance directly in the competition. India’s early performances have boosted hopes for a successful campaign at the multi-sport event.
