CWG 2026: Shilpa Shyla upgraded to bronze after Nigerian athlete disqualified in women's shotput F57

Glasgow: Indian para-athlete Shilpa Shyla was upgraded to the bronze medal in the women's shot put F57 event at the 2026 Commonwealth Games after Nigeria's Eucharia Iyiazi was disqualified following an official review, handing India its first double podium finish of the Glasgow Games.

Shilpa had originally finished fourth with a personal best throw of 7.26 metres, but moved onto the podium after Iyiazi's result was struck off, according to ESPN. The revised standings saw fellow Indian Sharmila Dhankar retain the gold medal with a season-best effort of 9.81m, while Ghana's Zinabu Issah took silver with 8.65m.
