PM Modi Hails Sharmila Dhankar's Historic CWG Gold

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Sharmila Dhankar on her historic gold medal win in the women's shot put F57 event at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Sharmila's season-best effort of 9.81m earned her the gold medal, making her India's first-ever Commonwealth Games para-athletics gold medallist.

This achievement ended India's 20-year wait for a para-athletics medal at the Games. PM Modi praised Sharmila's remarkable performance, saying it created history in Glasgow.

Another Indian para-athlete, Shilpa Shyla, secured a bronze medal in the same event after a successful post-match protest and review. Her personal-best effort of 7.26m was enough to secure the medal, giving India a double podium finish in the event.

This double podium finish is a historic achievement for India, marking the first time the country has won two medals in the same para-athletics event at the Commonwealth Games.

PM Modi also lauded Sarvesh Kushare, who won silver in the men's high jump. Kushare cleared 2.25m before three unsuccessful attempts at 2.28m saw him settle for silver behind Jamaica's Romaine Beckford.

The Prime Minister congratulated Kushare on his outstanding achievement, saying India is proud of him. He also wished Kushare many more successes ahead.

The Commonwealth Games have seen several Indian athletes make their mark, with Sharmila Dhankar and Sarvesh Kushare being the latest to bring glory to the country.

Their achievements are a testament to the hard work and dedication of Indian athletes, and PM Modi's praise is a recognition of their efforts.

The country is proud of its athletes, and their achievements will inspire millions to come.

The historic wins at the Commonwealth Games are a significant milestone for Indian para-athletics, and the country will be looking forward to more such achievements in the future.

With these wins, India has once again proved its mettle in the world of sports, and the athletes will be hailed as heroes upon their return.

The future of Indian sports looks bright, and the country will be eager to see what the future holds for its talented athletes.
