NEW DELHI: India today created history by breaking the 52-year-old Commonwealth Games gold medal jinx after Krishna Poonia won the yellow metal in women's discus throw to become the first woman from the country to win a Commowealth Games gold here today.

India swept the event with Harwant Kaur and national record holder Seema Antil also winning the silver and bronze respectively.

Poonia's gold, which she won by throwing the discus to 61.51m, was the first gold after 'Flying Sikh' Milkha Singh's 440 yard race gold in the 1958 edition of the Games in Cardiff, Wales.
