Augustina Nwaokolo of Nigeria won the event and claimed the honour of winning the first Gold of the Games, with a Games record adding to its luster.

Later in the day, in the men's 56 kg class, Sukhen Dey and V Srinivasa Rao clinched the silver and bronze respectively behind winner Ibrahim Amirul Hamizan of Malaysia.
Chanu, favourite for the 48 kg gold medal, could not justify her billing and settled for silver by clearing 167 kg which was eight kg below the gold medal winning performance by the Nigerian. Sandya Rani took the bronze with a total clearance of 165 kg.
Dey picked up the silver with a total lift of 252 kg, while Rao collected the bronze with a total of 248 kg. The Malaysian's title-winning effort was 257 kg.

The first day of competitions began with an epoch-making maiden entry into the final by India's men's freestyle swimming quartet of Virdhawal Khade, Anshul Kothari, Arjun Jayaprakash and Aaron D'Souza. The foursome finished sixth in the morning heats to make the evening final where they finished in the same position clocking 3 minutes, 27.14 seconds. It's the first time that in swimming the country had been represented in the final in the Commonwealth Games.

Two other Indian swimmers - Badrinath Melkote in men's 50 metres backstroke and Shubha Chittaranjan in women's 50metres butterfly - qualified for the semi finals by ending up 14th and 16th in the heats. Both were, however, eliminated in the evening semi finals. But all other swimmers sunk without making a splash.

In tennis, India put up a dominant display as all three singles players recorded easy wins. Rohan Bopanna, Rushmi Chakravarthi and Poojashree Venkatesh scored facile victories against weak opponents. The star pair of Leander Paes and Sania Mirza entered the quarterfinals of the mixed doubles by crushing St Lucia's duo Stacey Nykita Roheman and Alberton Richelieu in straight sets in just 39 minutes.The only blot on India's otherwise perfect day was the three-set defeat of Bopanna and Nirupama Sanjeev against the top seeded Australian pair of Paul Hanley and Anastasia Rodionova in the mixed doubles first round.
Indian shuttlers also kick-started their campaign with a 5-0 clean sweep over Kenya in the mixed team event.India, however, were stunned 3-2 by New Zealand in the women's table tennis team competition after having blanked Sri Lanka in their Group D campaign opener.

The country's hopes in squash suffered a major blow when top woman player Dipika Pallikal pulled out following a bout of mild fever. But rising stars Saurav Ghosal and Joshna Chinappa kept the tri-colour fluttering in the singles event as India wrapped up a mixed opening day. Both Ghosal and Chinappa progressed into the pre-quarters of the men's and women's singles event respectively, but their chances of advancing further look extremely difficult as both are pitched against higher ranked opponents today. While the 24-year-old Goshal will play third seed Englishman Peter Barker in the last-16 round, Chennai-girl Chinappa will be up against current world number one Nicol David of Malaysia.

Indian archers began their campaign in style, with the men's and women's recurve teams finishing on top ahead of today's elimination round. Rahul Banerjee and Jayanta Talukdar topped the men's section, while Deepika Kumari and Dola Banerjee dominated the women's field.Former world champion Deepika scored 609 and that was enough to claim top position in women's individual recurve section, with compatriot Dola Banerjee finishing second best.

In hockey, Indian women were held 1-1 by Scotland in a pool match.
