Eldhose Paul and Abdulla Aboobacker won a rare one-two in the men's triple jump to get India off to a strong start on the penultimate day of competition at the Birmingham Games (Nitu Ghanghas, Amit Panghal and Nikhat Zareen - all gold).
Digital Desk: The absence of shooting in the Commonwealth Games in 2022 will significantly reduce India's medal total. With 66 medals, India placed third in the previous competition behind Australia and England (26 gold, 20 silver and 20 bronze). 16 of those were won by shooters, including 7 gold medals. However, India made a great start to the Birmingham Games with weightlifters demonstrating their value.
Eldhose Paul and Abdulla Aboobacker won a rare one-two in the men's triple jump to get India off to a strong start on the penultimate day of competition at the Birmingham Games (Nitu Ghanghas, Amit Panghal and Nikhat Zareen - all gold). The bronze medal play-off was won by the women's hockey team as well. On Sunday, India took home 15 medals in all.
