Indian athletics enthusiasts celebrated a moment of pride as veteran thrower Seema clinched a bronze medal in the women's discus throw at a prominent international athletic competition held in Glasgow. Her podium finish provided a much-anticipated highlight for the Indian contingent, showcasing the nation's consistent presence in global throwing events.
