Last time in Delhi games we finished 2nd in the table.. i don't think it's the case this time around. 3rd or 4th can be expected behind Australia, England & Canada!
 
It's sad that archery and tennis has been done away with in these games. We had good teams in both these games.
 
medals in boxing, Wrestling, Shooting & disc throwing are sure... others will follow...
 
I'm confident that India will finish among the Top 4. But India has, for a while now, consolidated itself in the top 4-5 spots in Commonwealth games. Home advantage had taken us to the second spot last year. We also had fielded close to 500 athletes last time compared to 224 this year. Boxing should see a record haul this year.:tup:
 
khali common wealth me hi kheloge ya Olympics me bhi kabhi medal aayega...
uff.. Indian sports stars....:confused:

That's why those items were dropped.. instead we have kinda of sports tailor-made for the Brits.. like lawn bowls & three kind of cycling events, like mountain biking, road cycling & track cycling with loads of medals to play for.

If am not wrong Astro turf in hockey was introduced to beat Asian teams, or am I wrong.

That's true. But, when it comes to guarding their tradition... they just won't compromise. Like in the case of Wimbledon... Only major grass court event in the world. Only tennis tournament where non-white outfits are banned.
