Is there a picture of this

Jessica / Terry The best pair by far winning the XD without loosing a set all tournament

A very interesting result . He has a elbow injury due to which he was in extreme pain and told media he would give his best to ensure he can medal . He is scheduled to undergo a surgery this month. Yet he threw 90.18m. Wow.

A medal for once again at women's beach volleyball. So happy for them !!

Wouldn't have been gold for him I think. Participating at home and doing well and doing it in a different country in different conditions has a lot of difference

Another lawn bowls finals Lost 11-20 to In group stage. We were 3-8 down and at the 14th end 10-12 down with 1 end left. Scored 3 in the final end to reach finals.

First ever powerlifting gold!

As I rightly predicted before the games Won it's first ever cwg medal

Squash is known for such controversies

Are 2 entries per nation allowed in combat sport. We could have sent 2 each in wrestling.

A bit late here but I must say I thorougly enjoyed the lawn bowls match. Was on my feet for 90% of the match. It was the biggest craze that India had for lawn bowls , not just that it was broadcasted in multiple channels but had lengthy studio discussion at the start of the session and also after the final with light thrown on the present lawn bowls grounds in India.

So happy for Don

First medal for

I actually thought I'd like it but it was never streamed or telecasted during CWG so watching an entire game was fun.

Had the lawn bowls semis broadcasted in 4 channels at the same time including on the cricket only channel . It was 12-13 with 2 balls left and NZL with a amazing ball thats when Rani Tirkey had a fantastic shot to give 4 points meaning NZL had an a difficult shot. As they failed the excitement reached sky high . I don't think lawn bowls has had any better moment till now in India.

First ever lawn bowls medal assured

This might be a long story in itself. First the TTFI was suspended for the acting only in the interest of it's officials with the national coach asking the India no 1 and defending cwg champion Manika to lose a game against his favourite athlete at Olympic qualifier . https://www.google.com/amp/s/sportstar.thehindu.com/table-tennis/ttfi-table-tennis-delhi-high-court-manika-batra-sports-soumyadeep-roy-sports-news/article38413147.ece/amp/ CoA set up by TTFI on court orders did nothing really. They chose a squad based on a old document which gives more emphasis to domestic tournaments. The top 4 don't participate in national tournaments often. Manika for example was no 33 ranked but being the top ranked internationally got the spot. So someone like Reeth Tennison was chosen. Archana was also selected with the exception that she's world no 4 in women's doubles. But it was challenged in the court which went with the stupid rules .

I think this was a much needed defeat. Big shame for the federation for the squad chosen. The women's team here internationally is India no 1, 3, 6, 7. Some horrible choice of squad. Archana Kamath former youth Olympic semifinalist, the no 2 and also world no 4 in doubles with manika was not chosen. So was the no 4 Suthirtha who has beaten numerous top players and was instrumental in pushing the olympic team qualifier playoff against Romania to 5th game after beating Szocks back then.

Wait for the hammering till the end. I'm sure they'll at lose more for sure. Hoping England can win at least a game in the remaining 4 matches

V Match in badminton mixed team event has started. Singapore are the favourites . I'm expecting a 5-0 victory for Singapore.

Wait what. When did Liberia win gold? I'm sure I saw it was Malaysia

A couple of relays shouldn't be an excuse for the entire sport. As I told before I'll never understand the craze for this trash, I mean I also hate ice hockey but still it has something that can be watched, swimming has never fascinated me before and is not expected to be any different. That's my personal opinion But I do love lifesaving as a sport any day.

They had few good players and it worked. West indies hosted U19 Women's Regional Tournament this month. won the tournament without breaking a sweat. Finished 2nd.

with a good win.

Even in events which are very close there's no real need to watch the race. It's just plain action . Tell me a sport with 10+ gold medals that is less diverse than swimming. Action is important in sport, which should be diverse or at least not have too many events for the same. Team sports, Racquet Sports, Martial Arts, Ball Sports and even modern pentathlon and skateboarding you can watch, swimming there's nothing really to watch. Just swim swim swim. Events in swimming are same like having Pool at the games - snooker,3ball,5ball, 6 ball, 7 ball, 9 ball 10 ball for men and women.
