India produced a memorable one-two finish on the track at the Commonwealth Games 2026 as Dilip Mahadu Gavit stormed to gold and Mohammed Basil Morssinganakth claimed silver in the men’s T47 100m on Day 7 of the Games in Glasgow today.
Gavit produced a blistering finish over the final 30 metres to clock a Commonwealth Games record of 10.71 seconds and emphatically clinch the gold medal. Fellow Indian Basil was equally impressive, timing 10.83 seconds to secure silver after edging England’s Kevin Santos (10.85s), who settled for bronze.
The medals were India’s second gold and third medals of the day after long jumper Murali Sreeshankar had earlier opened the day’s account with a silver in the men’s long jump. The silver medal also made Sreeshankar the first Indian men’s long jumper to win two Commonwealth Games medals. With Gavit’s gold, Basil’s silver and Sreeshankar’s silver, India now ranks at Eigth position taking the country’s overall tally to 15 medals – three gold, nine silver and three bronze. India’s gold medals have come through Mirabai Chanu in weightlifting, Sharmila Dhankar in the women’s F57 shot put and now Gavit in the men’s T47 100m.
