Fly_like_a_don 932 Posted July 28, 2022 #361 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Ok the choice of para athletics events look awful heavily in favour of the hosts. I would have prefered having F64 Javelin Men not because we won gold at paralympics but because top athletes are all from commonwealth nations. Would have been a super exciting event with having 6 athletes in top 10 including 4 in top 4 . The discuss event in men and women meanwhile has just 1-2 British athletes in top 10.

It'll be a V QF. Niue have a medal at the pacific games from the same category albeit with a different boxer. Cook Islands didn't win any boxing medal last time. Their sending a 18 year old here so don't know if he's really good or is it just a exposure trip. Either way in worst case Cook island will match their 2018 tally but should not be suprising to see Niue win their first medal ever. In the same category are 1 win away from winning a medal if they can spring a surprise and beat the boxer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siddhartha Talukdar 124 Posted July 28, 2022 #363 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Two of our boxers are missing in the draw - Amit Panghal in Flyweight and Sumit Kundu in Middleweight. However there's no news so far of their withdrawal and their names are present in main website's entry list. Is anything amiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tongan boxer had a communication sent out, so if they were disqualified then there should have been a communication. Did they perhaps withdraw?

The host would never pick events that would benefit themselves On a more serious note, the choice of para athletics (and swimming to an extent) events have always been a bit random, for the lack of a better word. You would think the CGF would take stock at the Paralympics and choose the most well attended events by Commonwealth nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,474 Posted July 28, 2022 #367 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Anyone have any information about an international feed/stream? I don’t see anything listed on the website. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Fly_like_a_don 932 Posted July 28, 2022 #368 Share Posted July 28, 2022 So it's finally time for the CWG. Just like any multi sport event I'm excited this time too. Performance wise 15-20 golds are expected for India. The games will be streamed in 6 channels in 4 different languages. No random WWE or any series of Men's Cricket (suprising coz it's the 1st time in history of Indian cable that indian men's cricket matches are not available in any private channel largely since timings in west indies was not suitable and may have hindered a smooth streaming of CWG) I'm personally excited to watch sports which I otherwise don't watch apart from multi sport games - 3x3, beach volleyball, rugby sevens, triathlon, table tennis, cycling, squash,lawn bowls and weightlifting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
