India on verge of CWG medals record as 16 gold medals at stake on Day 8 | With 16 gold medals at stake on the eighth day of the XIXth Commonwealth Games, India would be keen to continue the impressive run as they are on the verge of equalling their best ever Commonwealth Games gold medals record today. India has so far won 29 gold and another gold
would put them level with their all time list of 30 gold, which they achieved
in 2002 Manchester Games. Out of six gold medals in Athletics on Monday, all eyes
would be on discus thrower Krishna Pooniya and Renjit Maheshwari, who will compete
in men's triple jump. Despite showing a dismal performance in the 2010 Games so
far, the Indian swimmers and divers would look to better their performance today
with Hari Prasad Thimmarayappa and Manesh Kumar Mohan competing in men's 3m-springboard
event, and Hrutika Parvatayya Shriram and Deepti Panwar in women's 10m-platform
event at the SP Mukherjee Swimming Stadium today. Indian boxers Suranjoy Singh
and Amandeep Singh will be fighting in their respective semi-finals. Indian shooters
have been impressive in the 2010 Games and will eye upon gold today as well. Tejaswini
Sawant and Meena Kumari will participate in the Women's 50m Prone Rifle Pairs
event, while Allan Daniel Peoples and Mairaj Ahmad Khan will aim for gold in the
Men's Skeet Pairs event. Weightlifter Sarabjit fight for gold in 105+kg Men Finals.
The gold medals at stake today include: aquatics (2), athletics (6), lawn bowls
(2), shooting (5) and weightlifting (1). |
