The remarkable achievement propelled India from the 10th position to fourth place in the overall medal standings, marking a memorable day for Indian sports.
Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President PT Usha expressed immense pride over the historic accomplishment, calling it a “Golden day for India.” The legendary former athlete praised the determination and excellence displayed by the country’s boxers while highlighting the emotional significance of seeing the Indian national anthem played repeatedly during the medal ceremonies.
Speaking on India’s outstanding success, PT Usha said every gold medal brought immense pride to the nation. She noted that hearing the national anthem on the podium each time an Indian boxer secured victory was a deeply emotional and unforgettable moment for both the athletes and millions of Indians.
India’s boxing campaign at the Commonwealth Games 2026 has now become the country’s most successful ever, with seven gold medals showcasing the growing strength and consistency of Indian boxing on the international stage. The achievement reflects years of dedicated training, strategic planning, and improved sporting infrastructure that have helped Indian athletes compete successfully against the world’s best.
The country’s overall performance also received a significant boost as India climbed rapidly in the medal standings. With a total of 39 medals despite participating in a limited number of events, the Indian contingent demonstrated exceptional efficiency and competitiveness across disciplines. The remarkable jump from 10th to fourth position has reinforced India’s emergence as one of the leading sporting nations at the Games.
PT Usha credited the success to the unwavering support provided by the Government of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that consistent encouragement and recognition have played a vital role in motivating athletes. She observed that government initiatives have ensured athletes receive the necessary resources, facilities, and financial assistance to perform at their highest level.
The IOA President further emphasized that victories on the international stage are never the result of individual effort alone. According to her, every successful athlete is backed by an extensive support system that includes coaches, doctors, physiotherapists, nutrition experts, masseurs, mental conditioning specialists, and sports administrators. Their combined dedication contributes significantly to every medal-winning performance.
She also acknowledged the continuous efforts of the Indian Olympic Association, national sports federations, and coaching staff in creating an environment where athletes can focus entirely on their preparation and competition. Such coordinated support has strengthened India’s sporting ecosystem and improved the country’s performances in major international events.
