The competitions at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham came to a close on Monday, with Australia topping the overall medals tally with 67 gold, 57 silver and 54 bronze (178 medals overall). India finished fourth with 61 medals (22 gold, 16 silver and 23 bronze).
Paddler Achanta Sharath Kamal and boxer Nikhat Zareen have been confirmed to be India’s flag bearers for the Games closing ceremony, slated to begin at 12.30 am IST on 9 August (Tuesday).
On day two of the Games, weightlifter Sanket Sargar had opened India’s account by winning a silver, and it was not long until fellow weightlifter Mirabai Chanu clinched India’s first gold at CWG 2022.
However, it was heartbreak for the India women’s cricket team, who went down to Australia by nine runs in the final at Edgbaston.
Weightlifters, boxers and wrestlers too dominated the show at the Games. Apart from them, shuttlers PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen won gold in the singles’ category while Kidambi Srikanth clinched bronze.
