Protistha Samanta Places Seventh in Women's Vault Final at Commonwealth Games
India's Protistha Samanta finished seventh in the women's vault final at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, scoring an average of 12.883 across two vaults. The 22-year-old gymnast from West Bengal competed despite recovering from a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained last year, which required eight months of rehabilitation. Canada's Lia-Monica Fontaine won gold, with England's Abigail Martin and Wales' Abigail Roper taking silver and bronze respectively. Protistha's father expressed hope that her performance could have been stronger without the injury.
