Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his emotional support for India's Commonwealth Games 2026 medal winners during a meeting at his residence on Sunday. The athletes shared their personal experiences and the hardships they faced, including Mirabai Chanu who won gold but missed out on an Olympic medal by a mere kilogram. Modi emphasized that the athletes' achievements were not just individual victories but significant inspirations for future generations. Athletes also spoke about their personal connections to their performances, such as Sharmila Dhankar promising her guru she would win a gold medal and Dilip Gavit dedicating his victory on Guru Purnima. India finished fourth in the overall standings with 39 medals, including 13 gold, 17 silver, and nine bronze. The Glasgow Games concluded after 11 days, with Scotland passing on the Commonwealth Games flag and ceremonial baton to India ahead of the 2030 edition in Ahmedabad.
