New Delhi, August 2, 2026: Indian judokas Rohit Majgul and Harsh Tokas had a memorable outing in Glasgow this past week as both made their Commonwealth Games (CWG) debut.
While the duo did not win a medal, both put in commendable performances. Harsh (-81kg) won his repechage bout by ippon against Samoa’s Peniamina Percival, before narrowly missing out on the bronze medal after losing to Australia’s Keishin Ochi in the bronze medal contest.
Meanwhile, Rohit (-66kg) lost two close matches by a single point to Petros Christodoulides of Cyprus and England’s Michael Frayer, after securing a win against Mozambique’s Samuel Ribeiro by Ippon.
