Dolby 712 Posted August 8, 2022 #1473 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Would write a more detailed post soon but what an amazing performance by team India. Though, we have had bigger medal and Gold tallies in CWG before, this one is more spread across disciplines and without Shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkbw50 381 Posted August 8, 2022 #1475 Share Posted August 8, 2022 That's it! Birch and Smith lose 21-5 21-8 and the Games are over with just the closing ceremony to go. And I think Team England did a good job! 57 golds, 66 silvers and 53 bronzes for 176 medals. Only did better due to their dominance of the pool. Apart from cricket and netball, which had 1 event where we came 4th (disappointingly), at least one medal in every sport (and sub-category thereof in aquatics, gymnastics, and cycling).

intoronto 4,236 Posted August 8, 2022 #1476 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Canada had a pretty decent games for what was especially a team missing a lot of its top athletes. Canada could have easily won more golds and medals had the best team been here. I Guess in hindsight you can't really dwell on what ifs. 26 gold ties Delhi's total is almost double 2018. 92 medals is the most since Manchester 2002. These are strong numbers and hopefully more in 2026. However with no wrestling or judo on the program atm, it will be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Male commentator is also good but Gill is A LEGEND. P.S. Its possible that we are hearing different set of commentators. She does a lot of work, badminton is on the TV practically every week it seems like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few events where one person dominates, but it’s not like that’s a phenomenon limited to swimming. I do agree that programs could be reworked to create more difference between events. Swimming is my favourite sport to watch along with Ice hockey Diving and Athletics. I would watch it everyday lol phelps and dullard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,477 Posted August 9, 2022 #1479 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I throughly enjoyed following these Games. The time zone difference and lack of an international feed (especially as there were some for the last two editions) was annoying, but overall I found this edition to be very enjoyable. Also, I think the venue branding was some of the best I’ve seen in a while. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Other meets I'll be paying attention to this month are Junior Worlds, Junior Pan Pacs, Aussie Short Course Champs (selection meet for Short Course Worlds), Duel in the Pool. Another busy month.
