In the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, India finished fourth with a total of 61 medals, including 21 gold. In the 2018 Goldcoast Games, we were third with 66 medals including 26 gold. That is, in four years, the number of medals for India decreased and the position also declined. Despite this, India's performance this time is being said to be better than four years ago. The reason why this is so will be understood further. Also, we will compare India's performance in each sport in the 2022 Games with that of 2018.
First of all, let us know why the performance is better despite fewer medals...
The direct answer to this is the absence of shooting. Shooting is the highest medal-winning sport for India in the Commonwealth Games. India has so far won 135 medals including 63 gold in shooting. In 2018 we won 16 medals including 7 gold in shooting. This time shooting was not a part of the Commonwealth Games. That is, 15-16 medals of India were reduced like this. Despite this, our athletes won only four golds less than in the previous games. Overall also there was a shortfall of only 5 medals.
Now wrestling has become the most successful sport
Wrestling became India's most successful sport this time in the absence of shooting. Indian wrestlers competed in 12 events and managed to win some medals in all. That is, the Indian wrestler who went to Birmingham has returned with a medal on his neck. India has won 6 Gold, 1 Silver, and 5 Bronze in this game. Last time 5 gold, 3 silver, and 4 bronze were found.
Gold increased in badminton and TT
India won 2 Gold, 1 Silver, and 2 Bronze medals this time in Badminton. In 2018 we got 2 Gold, 3 Bronze, and 1 Silver in this game. Similarly, there was an increase in gold in table tennis as well. This time 4 gold was found, last time only 3 were found.
Even better in hockey, judo, and lawn balls
In the 2018 Commonwealth Games, both men's and women's teams of India failed to win medals. This time both the teams won medals. In Lawn Balls, India won a medal for the first time in the history of the Games. 1 gold and 1 silver. Similarly, in Judo we went empty-handed in 2018. This time he has won two silver and one bronze.
Best performance in athletics since 2010
Neeraj Chopra, the strongest Indian contender to win gold in the track and field event, could not travel to Birmingham due to injury. Despite this, India has shown its best performance in athletics since 2010. India won 1 Gold, 4 Silver, and 3 Bronze this time. In 2014 and 2018, India won only 3 medals in athletics.
Know the weak performance in the last
In Birmingham, India got the first three medals in weightlifting. This time India won 14 medals including 3 gold in weightlifting. In 2018 our weightlifters won 9 medals including 5 gold. That is, our overall medals in weightlifting did increase, but the number of gold declined significantly. In boxing last time there were 9 medals including 3 gold. This time there are 7 medals including 3 gold. Squash got two silvers in 2018. This time only two bronzes could be found.
