India Has Its Best Medal Tally At CWG 2022 With Women Athletes Etching Their Name In History!

Commonwealth Games 2022 which started on July 28 finally came to end on August 8, Sunday. This year the Indian athletes showcased phenomenal performance in every event. Each day of the event brought in good news for Indians. This year’s games witnessed many firsts by India and some historic moments were created too. India’s participation was considered to be one of the best to date, in comparison to the 2018 and 2010 Commonwealth Games because of the medal tally earned by our athletes. In fact, the total tally of 61  medals this year pushed our country’s ranking to the 4th position.

We can consider this year to be India’s best Commonwealth Games for various reasons. Firstly, comparing the gold medal tally from 2018 which was 20,  this year India earned 22 of them. Also, there were many firsts that made India stand out at the CWG 2022. To mention a few, after 24 years Indian women’s cricket team participated in the event and performed brilliantly, winning the country a silver medal. The medals earned by the Indian women athletes remained almost the same as compared to that of 2018, however, the difference lies in the fact that there were many wins that were not witnessed in the history of CWG till now. The last day of the Commonwealth Games ended with a glorious golden win by PV Sindhu in the badminton women’s singles. This was Sindhu’s first gold at the games. Indian also got its first medal, rather a gold in the women’s Four Lawn Bowls. Another historic win was created by Priyanka Goswami who won India its first silver medal in the 10,000m race walk event. Overall, this year Indian athletes gained a strong foothold in events like weightlifting, badminton, table tennis, and boxing.
