Olympian1010 7,470 Posted December 30, 2019 #73 Share Posted December 30, 2019 India will not boycott the 2022 Commonwealth Games. They will attend in full force. They also announced their intentions to bid for 2026 or 2030 edition of the games. India is now set to bid for 2026 Commonwealth Games, 2030 Asian Games, 2032 Summer Olympics “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted January 5, 2020 #74 Share Posted January 5, 2020 CGF has caved to India and ISSF. India will now host shooting at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Medals will count as official and towards the final medal table. Full decision will be released soon.

intoronto 4,202 Posted January 6, 2020 #76 Share Posted January 6, 2020 What a joke. I wonder what they will do for 2030? Canada will likely host and has not proposed shooting as a sport (I sent this is a reminder to the Hamilton bid committee but they won't budge.) thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any inside knowledge you can share as to the sports we could expect to see on their bid? (Anything different than 2022) “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

It'll be mostly mixed team events from what I hear. So even taken to it's extreme there will only be 26 shooting events vs. 19 that was present in 2018. 36 events were present in 2010.

(Anything different than 2022) Nothing different than in 2022. THe 16 core sports + 3x3 basketball, cricket (women) + cycling track + diving and beach volleyball. Diving would be held in Toronto, at the Pan Am Venue, nice legacy left from those games. In 2010, they did propose a soccer tournament (something new), but that is not in this proposal.

I wouldn’t mind seeing lacrosse added as a nod to the native peoples of Canada, or another more common “American” sport. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
