Glasgow done, all eyes on 'Amdavad 2030': India's campaign offers both promise and warning signs
India won 39 medals at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, fewer than the 61 in Birmingham 2022, 66 in Gold Coast 2018, and 64 in Glasgow 2014.
Medals came from just six sports because Glasgow did not include shooting, wrestling, hockey, badminton, archery, or table tennis.
Athletics contributed 16 medals, including silver for Gulveer Singh in the 10,000m and bronze in the 5,000m, and bronze for Tejaswin Shankar in the decathlon.
Yash Vir Singh won a javelin bronze, and para-athletes added three gold, two silver, and one bronze.
India will host the Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad ('Amdavad 2030'), aiming to improve on the record 101 medals from Delhi 2010.
