A Mother And PhD Scholar: Meet CWG Bronze Medallist Discus Thrower Seema Kaliramna
Chaudhary Bansi Lal University: Seema Kaliramna, a daughter of a former basketball player and javelin thrower in the Indian Army, won the bronze medal in women’s discus throw at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow on Thursday, taking India’s tally in athletics up to four.
The 27-year-old athlete had only two valid throws in six rounds as she repeatedly had the disc entangled in the side netting. The podium marked the first major international medal for Seema, who is also a PhD aspirant and a mother of a four-year-old boy Rudra.
Motherhood, in fact, has coincided with Seema’s growth into a top athlete. Before her son Rudra was born in 2022, her personal best was 48.08m. She returned to competitive discus throw after 11 months break in 2024 and improved it to 57.19m before hitting 59.73m at the Indian Championships in Bhubaneshwar earlier this year.
