I'm in

Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Indians It's the 75th Independence Day of our country making it a very special occasion. Here are the pictures of celebration across the country .

I had the same question before the start of the day. I just started watching and went with the flow. Watched all the A Finals of rowing today semis of women's lead and finals of men's boulder will watch the women's lead finals tomorrow quickly. Also watched a couple of TT matches , little track cycling and almost the entire men's triathlon race. All the upcomming livestreams with exact date and time and replays are neatly arranged . I would rate it as the 2nd best Summer Multi Sport Games of the year behind Pacific Mini Games . ( Giving a little edge to NMI considering its limited resources). Both these games find 1 thing in common - Streaming details of the event well in advance which helps you to decide what events you can choose and what you keep for other day . I felt the CWG should have followed the same thing in non commonwealth nations would have been nice to watch some replay with VPN . So @Olympian1010 my suggestion to you is forget whether it's a championship or games just keep watching continuosly if you are free,I bet you will feel like a great games

On YouTube available freely.

Pretty much an enjoyable games(championship) so far.

Did Munich have no other Olympic size track?

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.
