Commonwealth Games 2022

[Number]

We got 60+ medals in 2014 and 2018 editions.

Won 100+ in 2010 which we hosted in Delhi.

Now with Shooting which we used to dominate, if we get close to 60 it will be a pretty good performance.

Hopes resting on Wrestling, Weightlifting, Badminton, TT, Hockey and Women's cricket.

Women hockey beat Ghana 5:0

Yea completely pissed it. Was on another level entirely today.

Women's TT team event, India lost to Malaysia 3-2 and are out, Manika was dissapointing, too much hype about her and not enough substance me thinks.

She was clearly ahead of the rest. Her competition are the Chinese and North Koreans. The rest are nowhere compared to her.

Poor Bindyarani's silver not acknowledged by anyone... 

 

India 4 medals in 4 events in weightlifting. Squash and tt ended in disappointment.. Only Saurav Ghosal and Joshna Chinappa left for a medal chance.. Awesome to watch 14yr old Anahit Singh play though. One for the future. Pity squash is not an Olympic sport but there 100 plus medals for swimming and athletics

[bharathh]

India ends day 2 on 1g 2s 1b.

 

No major medal hopes for day 3 other than weightlifting. Not heard of the folks in competition though. Hopefully they have a good one.

Another gold almost wrapped up in weightlifting again. 19 yr old Jeremy L has a 10kg advantage over #2 Nigerian. Head and shoulders over the rest. Exciting talent

[bharathh]

2nd gold in. Jeremy cramped up and was struggling at the end but was far ahead of his competition. Well done! 

[bharathh]

Luckily he looks ok.. Had a tumble at the end.

I knew that shooting isn't part of cwg this year.

But today I got to know that they don't have it this year because Birmingham doesn't have shooting setup. What a joke these games are then. Even the British can't care less about them it seems.

Racking up a cricket score against the Ghanaians.

Achinta Sheuli smashing it in the 73Kg Weightlifting event- probable gold!

Watching this now, as long as he does his lifts in clean and jerk he should do it.
