Well, if you like it, long life to the Queen I think that's is just a remember of the UK empire that, luckily for all, it's gone forever. I feel like that the Commonwealth games are a sort of jerking circle for the UK home nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike track cycling using the London 2012 venue, the shooting venue was temporary iirc. I am not sure results at one Commonwealth Games represents anything. Fact is Canada won more medals in one Winter Olympics (with the third of the medals on offer) than India has in all Summer Olympics. That fact is frankly embarrassing for a country the size of India. I am sure that will change though this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So kindly shut your mouth and mind your own sports Which country was poorer? in the 1860s or in the 2020s? Yet in the 1860s invented pretty much all modern sports & now modern compete in only four or five. Well, of course you resent what happened. But how does ‘s Commonwealth Games record stack up against much poorer countries like or ? JamDH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually never said that, from the countries that compete in the CWG, India is one of the top performers just at the CWG. Overall, including every other event? Not so much.

I am sure that will change though this year. By the bye the original statement was "India has underperformed at the CWG " ........ not winter olympics ..... "not a single CWG" ... you guys seem to have a weak memory ......... go back to 2010 we thrashed canada at that event again ........ Rank CGA Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Australia (AUS) 74 55 48 177 2 India (IND)* 38 27 36 101 3 England (ENG) 37 60 45 142 4 Canada (CAN) 26 17 32 75 so the fact is we have thrashed canada in 2 of the last 3 CWGs .......... sad but true ........ who is the underperformer at the CWG........ That birmingham does not have a single shooting range!!!!!!!!!.... strength does not come from physical capacity but from an indomitable will. - Gandhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
