A note on timings: sources differ slightly on the evening session, with Lovlina’s final listed at both 9:45 PM and 10:15 PM IST. Treat the evening running order as approximate.
Lovlina Borgohain: The Marquee Bout
The Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist and former world champion faces Australia’s Emma Sue Greentree for the women’s 75kg title.
Lovlina is India’s most decorated boxer in this squad and led the contingent into Glasgow as its biggest medal hope. She has now delivered on that, and fights for gold late in the evening session.
Her Commonwealth Games record adds weight to this one. She was knocked out in the first round at Gold Coast 2018, and at Birmingham 2022 she exited before the medal rounds after reaching the quarter-finals. A title in Glasgow would complete a long-running piece of unfinished business.
Also worth watching: Jaismine Lamboria is a reigning world champion, facing Northern Ireland’s Michaela Walsh in the 57kg final.
Athletics: Gulveer Singh’s Second Shot
Gulveer Singh, who took silver in the 10,000m earlier at these Games, returns for the men’s 5000m final.
Doubling across both distance events at a single Games is demanding, and a second medal would make him one of India’s standout athletes of Glasgow 2026.
Other athletics finals
| Event | Indian athletes |
| Men’s Triple Jump (2:40 PM IST) | Praveen Chithravel, Selva Prabhu Thirumaran |
| Men’s Pole Vault | Dev Kumar Meena, Kuldeep Kumar |
| Men’s 5000m | Gulveer Singh |
| Women’s 10,000m Race Walk | — |
| Mixed 4x400m Relay Final | — |
The triple jump carries the most history. At Birmingham 2022, Eldhose Paul and Abdulla Aboobacker delivered a 1-2 finish for India. Chithravel and Thirumaran are attempting to repeat it.
Para athletics: the men’s shot put F57 final at 2:35 PM IST features Soman Rana and Shubham Juyal. India also competes in the men’s 1500m T54.
Judo, Cycling and Bowls
Judo runs a progression-dependent schedule. Elimination rounds and quarter-finals begin at 3:30 PM IST, with semi-finals from 8:30 PM if Indian judokas advance.
In action: Unnati Sharma (women’s -63kg), Karanjit Singh Maan (men’s -90kg), Harsh Tokas (men’s -81kg quarter-final) and Inunganbi Takhellambam (women’s -70kg quarter-final). Medal bouts follow from around 9:48 PM for those who qualify.
The Indian judo team comes into the day off what has already been described as historic success at these Games.
Track cycling. Men’s sprint qualifying starts at 2:30 PM IST, with David Beckham, Ronaldo Singh and Rojit Singh riding. If they qualify, the sprint final is around 10:02 PM. India may also feature in the men’s 10km scratch race final.
Lawn bowls. Nayanmoni Saikia plays Bridget Herselman of South Africa in women’s singles sectional play at 10:20 PM. The men’s pairs of Navneet Singh and Dinesh Kumar face England at 3:50 PM.

Why Today Matters
India is scheduled to compete in at least 16 confirmed medal events on Saturday. Ten of those are boxing finals.
That concentration is unusual. On a normal Games day, medal chances are spread thinly across sports. Today India enters ten finals in a single discipline having already banked the silver from each meaning every bout is a straight upgrade opportunity with nothing to lose.
Boxing competition at Glasgow 2026 began on 24 July and concludes today. Preliminary rounds ran to 29 July, with medal bouts on 31 July and 1 August.

On the track, Gulveer Singh goes again over 5000m after silver in the 10,000m the kind of double that defines a Games for an athlete.
