The Commonwealth games were amazing for the track and field events (esp the 1-2 in the Long Jump and Avinash Sable winning silver in the steeplechase) with the crowing glory being the Thomas Cup win and Neeraj Chopra winning the gold in the Diamond League and Silver at the World Championships. TT was a bit of a letdown. Wrestling did amazing in the CWG (not a great indicator though) and Weightlifting was awesome (Chanu is injured though which is a big concern for the upcoming events atm). Boxing was so-so. Big year coming up for Indian athletes with the upcoming Asian Games followed closely by the Paris Olympics. Here's hoping to a great 2023 as well for Indian sports.
