Glasgow: India's challenge in the men's shot put remained firmly on course at the Commonwealth Games as Tajinderpal Singh Toor and Samardeep Singh Gill progressed to Thursday's final after negotiating the qualification round with composed performances. The qualification format guaranteed places in the final to athletes who cleared the automatic mark of 20 metres, while the remaining spots were filled by the next-best performers until the 12-athlete field was complete. For Toor, the qualification marks another opportunity to chase a Commonwealth Games medal after an interrupted recent history at the event.
