Glasgow, July 29 -- Indian distance runner Parul Choudhary finished fifth in the women's 3000m steeplechase final at the Commonwealth Games 2026 on Day 7, missing out on a podium finish in a race won by Kenya's Faith Cherotich with a Games Record.

Parul was in contention during the early stages before losing touch with the leading pack as the race entered its decisive phase. The national record holder eventually crossed the finish line in fifth place, around 25 seconds behind the winner, according to ESPN.

The battle for silver produced an exciting finish as England's Elise Thorner surged past Kenya's Peruth Cherotich over the closing 200 metres to secure second place, while Chermotich settled for bronze.
