It was a historic day for Indian judo at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow, as Harsh Singh climbed to the top of the podium with a gold medal.
He was dominant through the draw, showing sharp gripping, strong throws and the composure to close out contests when the pressure was highest. His passion and dedication were clearly reflected in an exceptional performance from first bout to final.
Gold medals change the trajectory of a sport. For India's judo community — coaches, dojos, state associations and the young players training in them — this result is a marker of what is possible, and a spur for the next generation.
Congratulations to Harsh Singh. Best wishes for the upcoming endeavours.
