Commonwealth Game 2022 got underway on July 29, and the first day was a mixed bag for the Indian contingent. The Indian badminton team got the better of Pakistan as they registered a 5-0 win as PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth showed their class. On the other hand, Indian women’s cricket suffered a disappointing result as they came up short against Australia at Edgbaston.
Shiva Thapa quite easily won his men’s Round of 32 bouts against Pakistan’s Suleman Baloch in boxing. The Indian women’s hockey team defeated Ghana quite comprehensively, while in aquatics, Kushagra Rawat was eliminated in the Men’s 400m Freestyle event after he finished last in Heat 3. The 14-year-old squash player, Anahat Singh, made a winning start in the women’s singles competition. The Indian women’s table tennis team also registered a 3-0 victory vs. South Africa.
Athletes have been doing the rigors of qualifying for CWG 2022 by bringing out their best in qualifying tournaments. India has always been a force to reckon with at the Commonwealth Games, and the upcoming Birmingham edition of the CWG will be no different.
The Indian contingent has been rocked by several controversies and injuries in the run-up to the games.
While athletes Aishwarya Babu and Dhanalakshmi Sekar failed dope tests, a member of the Indian 4x100m relay team, MV Jilna, soon followed suit.
In a fiasco that could have been avoided, ace Indian boxer and Tokyo Olympic bronze medalist Lovlina Borgohain alleged mental harassment after one of her coaches, Sandhya Gurung, was not allowed into the CWG 2022 village. This prompted officials and the Sports Ministry to intervene, and accreditation was soon issued to Lovlina Borgohain’s coach.
In a huge blow to India’s medal chances at the Games, ace Indian javelin thrower, Tokyo Olympic gold medalist and defending CWG champion Neeraj Chopra was ruled out of the quadrennial Games. Chopra sustained an injury at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA.
