Seema Punia competes in the women’s discus throw during the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games on Thursday. | Photo Credit: APSeema Punia returns home with her fourth successive Commonwealth Games medal as she and Navjeet Kaur Dhillon opened India’s account in the athletic events at the Carrara stadium here on Thursday. Yet, her first effort of 60.41m was good enough for the silver behind Stevens, who touched a Games record of 68.26m in the fourth round. Seema has now won the silver thrice — 2006 Melbourne being her first before finishing with a bronze in New 2010. In long jump, the Indian presence was hardly felt as V. Neena and Nayana James fared badly.
