The complicated story behind India’s low medal tally at this year’s Commonwealth Games.
In this episode of One Big Bite, we look at why India fell short of its Birmingham 2022 medal tally at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. India won 61 medals at the last edition, but nearly half came from sports that were not part of Glasgow’s reduced programme. We break down how a smaller Games reshaped India’s medal opportunities, which sports still delivered and why the final tally does not necessarily mean Indian sport went backwards.
