India's Seema Kaliramna made three successive fouls but her third attempt of 58.65m was enough to clinch a bronze medal in the women's discus throw, while compatriot Nidhi Rani finished fourth in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Thursday. Seema endured a nervy finish, fouling her fourth, fifth and sixth attempts, but her third-round effort proved enough to hold on to bronze. Cameroon's Monie Nora Atim had one final chance to snatch the bronze but failed to produce the required distance, managing only 11.18m on her last attempt, allowing Seema to finish on the podium ahead of Nidhi.

RICH LEGACY CONTINUES!

Seema Kaliramna adds a bronze medal to India's kitty with a fine performance in the women's discus throw, an event that has given the nation enough to celebrate over the years at the Commonwealth Games. She manages a best throw of 58.65m.
