Indian athlete Murali Sreeshankar wins silver in the men’s long jump at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow. In the final, he records a best leap of 8.09 metres. Sources say his performance includes a strong start and improvement across attempts: he jumps 8.03m in the first round and then moves into the lead with an 8.09m effort in the second round. He does not improve further, with two fouls and a later jump of 7.94m, which still remains sufficient for second place.
Jamaica’s Tajay Gayle wins gold with 8.15m. Reports indicate Gayle takes the lead with a better effort in the later stages of the final, including a key jump in the fourth round. Scotland’s Stephen Mackenzie finishes with 8.08m to claim the bronze medal. Fellow Indian Lokesh Sathyanathan competes in the same final but does not reach the medal positions, placing fifth in his Commonwealth Games debut. The results add to India’s athletics medals at the Glasgow Games.
