Commonwealth Games in Glasgow features only 10 disciplines, down from 19 in Birmingham 2022.
India won 61 medals at Birmingham 2022, but 30 of those medals are now impossible due to axed sports.
Axed sports include wrestling, cricket, badminton, hockey, and table tennis—key medal contributors for India.
India’s hopes rest on athletics, led by Neeraj Chopra (javelin) and Parul Chaudhary (distance running).
Chopra’s rivalry with Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem is expected to be a highlight of the Games.
