# Jaismine Lamboria overcomes infection to win CWG gold 2026-08-08T04:42:21+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Indian boxer Jaismine Lamboria won the women's 57kg gold at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow just weeks after being hospitalised for a bacterial infection. The 57kg boxer had a recurring fever that multiple tests failed to diagnose, and she was finally admitted to a hospital in Mohali. Doctors put her on a 14-day course of medication, and she returned to training only on July 1, with barely three weeks to go before the Games. Throughout her illness, sports psychologist Priya Vrinda helped her stay mentally strong, the Times of India reports. Jaismine converted her 2018 Commonwealth bronze into gold, relying on her height and reach, she is five feet seven inches, as a tactical advantage taught by her coaches. She says the reach advantage has become an important weapon in her fights. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: boxing, Commonwealth Games, India, Jaismine Lamboria, recovery, sports Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/jaismine-lamboria-overcomes-infection-to-win-cwg-gold/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
