The journey of the Commonwealth Games played in Birmingham came to an end on Monday. Every day from these games, which lasted for almost two weeks, good news kept coming for India. India finished fourth in these games. His share of 22 gold, 16 silver and 23 bronze medals came and thus he finished fourth with a total of 61 medals. Almost all of the players who were expected in these games won medals, but some big stars could not live up to the expectations. Who are they, they tell you. (File Pic)
Women boxer Lovlina Borgohain, who won the bronze medal in Tokyo Olympics, was a medal contender in these Commonwealth Games but she could not win the medal. Lovlina crashed out of the quarterfinals in the 66-70kg category. (PTI Photo)
Apart from Lovlina, another Indian veteran female player Manika Batra also disappointed. Manika was expected that she would be able to save her women’s singles title this time but it did not happen. She was eliminated from the quarter finals itself. She could not even win a medal in mixed doubles nor could she do anything amazing with the women’s team. (PTI Photo)
In athletics, India has performed amazingly in these sports. But the country’s legendary female sprinter Dutee Chand could not live up to the expectations. She had landed in 100 meters but could not go beyond the heat. He clocked 11.55 seconds which is less than his personal best of 11.17. (File Pic)
Like Dutee, Hima Das was also hoping for a medal, but this sprinter could not even reach the final of 200 meters. (File Pic)
Shiv Thapa is counted among the best boxers of India. He had entered the 63.5 kg weight category but could not go beyond round 16 and thus India’s medal hopes were also shattered. (File Pic)
Seema Punia was expected to continue India’s performance in discus throw but she failed. This is the first time since 2002 that India has not got a medal in this sport in the Commonwealth Games. (File Pic)
Weightlifters did wonders this time and put many medals in India’s bag, but one player could not live up to the expectations in this game and this player is Poonam Yadav. Poonam had landed in 76 kg weight category. It was expected that she would win a medal but this time luck was not on her side. (File Pic)
