Harsh Tokas Aims for India's First Commonwealth Games Judo Gold in 2026
Indian judoka Harsh Tokas, inspired by Olympic champion Lasha Bekauri, aims to win India's first Commonwealth Games gold in judo at the 2026 Glasgow event. The 23-year-old, competing in the men's 81kg category, began judo at age 10 at a free academy in Delhi's Munirka village. Tokas has trained intensively and emphasizes clean sport, motivated by his foundation's anti-doping education. The Indian judo team faces challenges, including doping-related suspensions, but Tokas remains focused on making history in his debut.
