India will look to end its Commonwealth Games 2026 campaign on a high on the final day of competition with judo, track cycling and para track cycling taking centre stage at the Glasgow Games.

The day begins at Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, where Harshveer Singh Sekhon and Dinesh Kumar will compete in the qualifying round of the men’s 40km Points Race. If they qualify, it will keep India’s hopes alive for one last cycling medal.

Attention then shifts to the judo arena, where three Indian judokas will begin their campaigns in the Round of 16. Ishroop Narang opens India’s challenge in the women’s -78kg category against Scotland’s Nicole Wood, while Avtar Singh takes on Aristos Michael of Cyprus in the men’s -100kg division. Yash Ghanghas also enters the fray in the men’s +100kg event.

If they progress, the trio will return for the quarterfinals before moving into either the semifinals or repechage rounds, depending on their results. The medal contests are scheduled for the evening with all three Indians having the opportunity to fight for either bronze or gold depending on their earlier results.

India’s first confirmed medal event of the day comes in track cycling, where Ronaldo Singh Laitonjam will compete in men’s 1000m Time Trial final. One of the country’s leading track cyclists, Ronaldo will be aiming to cap his campaign with a place higher on the podium.

Later in the evening, Lisha Das will represent India in the women’s C4-C5 1000m Time Trial final in para track cycling, providing another opportunity for the contingent to add to its medal tally before the Games conclude.

The final event featuring Indian participation will be the men’s 40km Points Race final where Harshveer Singh Sekhon and Dinesh Kumar will be in action if they successfully negotiate the qualification round earlier in the day.

With multiple medal opportunities spread across the final session, India will have one last chance to sign off from Glasgow with a flourish and carry positive momentum in the closing ceremony.

Teen Indian sensation Tanvi Sharma won her maiden BWF World Tour title after defeating Vietnam’s sixth seed Thuy Linh Nguyen 21-16 21-16 in the women’s singles final of the Taipei Open Super 300 badminton tournament here on Sunday.

The 17-year-old from Punjab, who had finished runner-up at last year’s US Open Super 300, needed just 36 minutes to outclass Nguyen in the summit clash.

Coached by PV Sindhu’s former mentor Park Tae-sang, Tanvi also became the first Indian to win the women’s singles title at the Taipei Open since Saina Nehwal, who had lifted the trophy in 2008.

Tanvi made a flying start, repeatedly catching Nguyen at the front court with deft drops played with the same action as a smash to open up a 4-1 lead. The Vietnamese struggled to read the Indian’s deception and also found it difficult to judge the drift, going wide twice as Tanvi mixed steep cross-court smashes with her trademark touch to surge to a 10-2 advantage.

The Indian, however, suddenly slipped into a string of errors, struggling to keep the shuttle inside the lines. She eventually produced a timely smash to carry a three-point lead into the mid-game interval, with coach Park Tae-sang urging her to relax.

Tanvi found her rhythm after the break, producing powerful smashes from both flanks to move 15-9 ahead. Though she gifted away a few points with errors at the net and from the back court, she regained control, earning five game points before sealing the opening game with a cross-court smash.

After the change of ends, Nguyen opened a 3-0 lead by making Tanvi cover the court with sharp angles. But the Indian slowly began dictating the rallies, drawing level at 3-3 with a fine net shot before once again pushing her opponent deep and catching her at the net with deft touches.

Nguyen’s inconsistency also helped Tanvi build an 8-4 lead before another patch of errors allowed the Vietnamese to close the gap to 7-8, prompting Park to tap his head in frustration. Two exquisite deceptive winners helped Tanvi take an 11-8 lead at the interval.

The Indian gradually stretched the advantage to 15-10 and then 18-12, her deception once again fetching crucial points. At 19-12, Tanvi unsuccessfully challenged a line call after being ruled late, but soon earned seven match points with a smash. A nervous finish saw her squander three of them before she finally converted to seal her maiden BWF title.

In a heartwarming moment, Tanvi took off her gold medal and placed it around coach Park Tae-sang’s neck before the two posed together for photographs.

At 17 years and 222 days, Tanvi is the youngest finalist in the tournament’s history, surpassing Korean doubles great Lee Yong Dae, who was 17 years and 287 days old when he reached the men’s doubles final in 2006.

Tanvi had become the first Indian to win two medals at a single edition of the World Junior Championships, securing silver in girls’ singles and bronze in the mixed team event. She was also a member of the Indian team that won the country’s maiden gold medal at the Asian Team Championships.

A former world junior No. 1, Tanvi reached her maiden Super 300 final at the 2025 US Open at the age of 16. She also finished runner-up at the Odisha Masters Super 100 and Guwahati Masters Super 100.
