Asmita Dey created history by becoming the first Indian judoka to win a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. She achieved the milestone by defeating Canada's Heidi Quach in the women's 48 kg final at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games after a hard-fought Golden Score contest. Before this achievement, India had won only silver and bronze medals in Commonwealth Games judo, with no gold medal. Asmita's remarkable consistency, tactical discipline, and composure throughout the tournament marked a historic breakthrough for Indian judo and inspired a new generation of athletes in the sport.
