On Day 7 of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Indian athletes Dilip Gavit and Mohammed Basil secured a historic double podium in the men's 100m T47 event. Gavit won the gold medal, while Basil took silver, marking another one-two finish for India in athletics at these Games.
The T47 category is for athletes with arm impairments, and the Indian duo's performance highlighted the country's growing strength in para-sports. Earlier in the Games, India had also achieved a double podium in other events, but this was the first in the 100m T47.
In addition, long jumper M. Sreeshankar won a silver medal in the men's long jump event, adding to India's medal tally. The exact distances and times were not immediately available from verified sources.
