Yashvir Singh won India's historic bronze in men's javelin at the Commonwealth Games 2026 with a personal best throw of 85.41m.
Neeraj Chopra took silver with a season-best 85.83m, despite cold and windy conditions.
Sri Lanka's Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage claimed gold with a throw of 89.75m.
Yashvir's self-talk before his final throw, recalling his previous personal best, inspired him to surpass the bronze mark of 82m.
Chopra said sharing the podium with Yashvir made the achievement special, recalling a similar moment at the Asian Games.
