Zuhair Zaidi New Delhi
Indian athletes exhibited extraordinary sportsmanship in the past week, taking their medal tally to 20. Till now, India has won 6 gold, 7 silver and 7 bronze medals. While Weightlifting was India’s strongest point, there are no medals in wrestling and hockey in CWG 2022.

India won two medals on Day 7 as Sudhir bagged gold in para-powerlifting, whereas Murali Sreeshankar bought the much-needed silver in men’s long jump. Hima Das was another big name who made it to the semi-finals of the 200-metre race.
