Who Became the First Indian Judoka to Win Commonwealth Games Gold in 2026?
Who became the first Indian judoka to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal in 2026?
In this Daily Current Affairs MCQ, test your knowledge about India’s historic performance in Judo at the Commonwealth Games 2026, held in Glasgow, Scotland.
The correct answer is Asmita Dey. The 23-year-old judoka from Tripura created history by becoming the first Indian to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal in judo. She won the women’s 48 kg final after defeating Canada’s Heidi Quach in a closely contested Golden Score bout.
Asmita’s historic victory ended India’s long wait for a Commonwealth Games judo gold. Before 2026, Indian judokas had won 11 Commonwealth Games medals — five silver and six bronze — but had never won gold since judo was introduced at the Commonwealth Games in 1990.
The historic achievement became even more significant when Harsh Singh won gold in the men’s 60 kg category later the same day, giving India a memorable double gold in judo.
