The 22nd edition of the Commonwealth Games drew to a close on Monday after 12 days of relentless, non-stop sporting action.
Team India finished fourth on the medals tally, behind Australia (178 medals), England (176 medals) and Canada (92 medals). Overall, Indian athletes won 22 gold, 16 silver and 23 bronze medals, for a total of 61 medals.
The final count is just 5 medals less than what India won at CWG 2018 (66 medals), and that is quite an achievement considering there was no shooting at the Games in Birmingham this time.
In 2018, shooting had contributed as many as 16 medals to India’s final tally of 66 medals. Traditionally, shooting is a big medal earner for India at multi-discipline tournaments, especially at the Commonwealth Games, and had it been part of the Birmingham programme, India would have finished with many more medals.
Here’s a quick recap of the athletes who won medals for India at CWG 2022 and also the sport-wise medal break-up:
