India produced a strong showing on Day 5 in Glasgow as para-athlete Sharmila Dhankar struck gold in the women’s F57 shot put, Sarvesh Anil Kushare secured silver in the men’s high jump, and weightlifter Bindyarani Devi added a bronze to India’s haul; meanwhile Tejaswin Shankar did not complete his high-jump campaign after a late withdrawal.

Sharmila sealed the para shot-put title with a best mark of 9.81m, a series of throws that put her firmly in front of the field and guaranteed India a prized gold on the night. Her victory came in a tightly contested F57 final where teammate Shilpa K. Shyla also competed but finished outside the medals. (sports.ndtv.com)
In the men’s high jump, Sarvesh Kushare produced a composed performance to finish second after no competitor cleared 2.28m; the placings were ultimately decided at the 2.25m mark, leaving Sarvesh with silver and Jamaica’s Romaine Beckford the gold. Aadarsh Ram finished further down the order. Tejaswin Shankar’s involvement was clouded by confusion on the start lists and he was eventually recorded as not taking part in the final.

Bindyarani Devi returned India another weightlifting podium when she lifted a combined 199kg (87kg snatch, 112kg clean & jerk) to claim bronze in the women’s 58kg final, bolstering the nation’s early medal tally at the Games. (indiatoday.in)
Sharmila’s triumph carried extra resonance because of her personal journey: she has spoken publicly about a difficult childhood and surviving an abusive marriage, a background that has been widely reported as part of her rise in para athletics. Her win was hailed as both a sporting and personal milestone. (hindustantimes.com)
Taken together, the results on July 27 illustrated India’s depth across para athletics, athletics and weightlifting, and added momentum to the country’s campaign in Glasgow as the track-and-field programme moved into its busiest phase. (sports.ndtv.com)
