Commonwealth Games 2022, Day 5 Highlights: Heartbreak For PV Sindhu And Co; Gold Medals For Lawn Bowls, Table Tennis Stars

India added four medals on the fifth day of Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham Tuesday. First, the women's lawn bowls team claimed the country's first-ever medal in the sport by winning the 'fours' final. Then, the men's table tennis team beat Singapore in the final for India's fifth gold medal. Moments later, Vikas Thakur claimed the silver in the men's 96 kg weightlifting. Late in the night, the mixed badminton team lost to Malaysia in the final to settle for the silver medal. India was expecting at least a medal from the women’s discus throw, but both Seema Punia and Navjeet Kaur Dhillon failed to impress. The women's hockey team also suffered a 1-3 defeat against England in a Pool A match. Muhammad Anees Yahiya and Murali Sreeshankar (men’s long jump), Tejaswini Shakar (men's high jump) and Manpreet Kaur (women’s shot put) qualified for the finals. Dutee Chand, however, failed to make the women’s 100m final. Squash star Saurav Ghosal too lost his men's singles semi-final. In boxing, Rohit Tokas defeated Ghana’s Alfred Kotey in the men’s welterweight division to enter quarters.
