Asmita Dey wins India's first CWG judo gold, seven months after father's death

Asmita Dey made history by claiming India's first-ever judo gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. She overcame Canada's Heidi Quach in a closely contested women's 48kg final. The win carries deep personal significance, coming just seven months after the death of her father, who had been her strongest supporter and inspiration. Dey had feared her dream might never be realized following his passing. She acknowledged the role of SAI Bhopal in keeping her on track and helping her reach this milestone.
