Re: Commonwealth Games, 2022
Yes, Lakshya wins 19-21, 21-9, 21-16 to win gold. Great of him to stay tough and win after losing the first game.
In the meantime, Sathian beats Drinkhall 4-3 to win bronze in table tennis mens singles.
20 golds and 58 medals now. Last 3 events to start almost simultaneously- Hockey final, Achanta final and Satwik-Chirag final.

Re: Commonwealth Games, 2022
Para medals included??? I doubt
I think on back of my head I tracked each of these 22 golds.

Re: Commonwealth Games, 2022
Ok. Wikipedia lists only one gold in para weight lifting.
Rest 21 were normal
Re: Commonwealth Games, 2022
Pitch forks can’t deter legends…the legend wins the individual gold in style 11-13, 11-7, 11-2, 11-6, 11-8. Achanta for Khelratna and Drona awards simultaneously for achieving and mentoring team members simultaneously
Re: Commonwealth Games, 2022
India just didn't turn up for the hockey final. When was the last time India did not get a single PC. Lost 0-7.

Re: Commonwealth Games, 2022
Ok, it is all good news to wake up to, today. TT and Badminton delivered in the end. Sharath Kamal, the legend!
(I said yesterday that I was not counting hockey. I just felt that they were just going to show up and lose)

Re: Commonwealth Games, 2022
So, 22 golds, 16 silvers and 23 bronze medals for a total of 61 medals. This is compared to 26 golds and 66 medals in 2018 games. If we take out 16 medals and 7 golds from shooting equivalent is 19 golds and 50 medals. From this time if we remove 2 para medals and 1 medal from cricket which was not there last time, we end up with 20 golds and total of 58 medals. Marginal improvement of 1 gold but good improvement of 8 medals in total.
Will try to post sportswise comparison soon.
