ACHINTA: ADVERSITY TO ACHIEVEMENT

Achinta Sheuli, 21, who broke several CWG records on way to a gold in men’s weightlifting 73kg category on Sunday night, realised the wish of his late father, who was a rickshawpuller. He helped his mother with stitching and embroidery work which kept the family afloat even as he trained at a gym in his spare time

Four Indian women created history in a sport very few would have heard of back home – lawn bowls. They entered the final of women’s fours event, defeating New Zealand 16-13 in the semis, and assuring India of at least a silver. They will meet South Africa in the final today This special bunch is led by 38-year-old Lovely Chaubey, a constable with Jharkhand Police. Rupa Rani Tirkey, who too is from Ranchi, works in the sports department. Pinki is a sports teacher at DPS R K Puram in New Delhi while Nayanmoni Saikia comes from a farming family in Assam and works in the state’s forest department

There was a golden streak on the mat for India. Sakshi Malik’s barnstorming approach for gold bore shades of her memorable Rio Olympics bronze six years ago. This time, she turned the tables on Ana Paula Gonzalez, the reigning U-23 world champ from Canada, with an explosive late pindown in 62kg final In the men’s category, Bajrang Punia breezed through his 65kg men’s gold medal bout downing Canada’s Lachlan Maurice McNeil 9-2. Like Sakshi, Bajrang, too, used the CWG platform to regain some of his confidence and touch, and he gave away just two points marching to a comprehensive gold. “Next is to try to win gold in the 2024 Olympics,” he said In an India-Pakistan clash, Deepak Punia beat 2018 CWG gold medallist Md Inam 3-0 in 86kg for India’s third gold of the day. Anshu Malik, 21, had to settle for silver in 57kg.

➤ Not since 1994 has a non-Kenyan infiltrated the steeplechase podium at the CWG; the 5 Mahar naik subedar was not even born when it happened. This time, not only did Sable match the Kenyan leader pack in a thin-field, fast-paced race for a terrific silver, he broke his own national record for the ninth time h Aspiring ramp model Priyanka Goswami took silver in the 10km walk


➤ Mandhana scored a 32-ball 61 to take the game away from the No. 2-ranked hosts from the start, bettering her own 25-ball 50 (v New Zealand, 2019) for fastest T20I 50 by an Indian woman by one ball. The four-run win put India in the final

➤ India won their second medal in lawn bowls as the men’s fours team of Sunil Bahadur, Navneet Singh, Chandan Kumar Singh & Dinesh Kumar settled for silver after losing to Northern Ireland in the final

➤ In boxing, reigning world champ Nikhat Zareen (50kg) led India’s charge into the final along with Amit Panghal (51kg) & Nitu Ghanghas (48kg)

➤ Tokyo silver medallist Bhavina Patel won gold in para table tennis, beating her Nigerian opponent. Star paddler Sharath Kamal reached the finals of men’s and mixed doubles events, pairing with G Sathiyan & Sreeja Akula Avinash Sable broke a 28-year-old Kenyan steeplechase hegemony, while not far, Smriti Mandhana eased out of an English women’s cricket stranglehold on a Super Saturday for India at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Hindol Basu, August 8, 2022: The Times of India

Birmingham: The Indian women’s cricket team came heartbreakingly close to finally winning an elusive title, but imploded against Australia, world champs in both T20I and ODIs, to lose by 9 runs at Birmingham on Sunday. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise exhilarating day that witnessed three gold medals in boxing, a redemption bronze for the women’s hockey team after 16 years of trying, and the unusual sight of three young men almost pulling off an unprecedented clean sweep of medals in the triple jump.

For once, the Indian participants in an athletics event weren’t hanging on the margins, hoping for someo- ne in the leader pack to suddenly implode. They were the leader pack, and it felt so disbelievingly different as triple jumpers Eldhose Paul and Abdulla Aboobacker consulted among themsel- ves around the pit, only to be finally separated by a mere 0. 01 cm for gold-silver. Praveen Chitravel narrowly missed out on the bronze.

As Paul and Aboobacker reposed faith in India’s old- as-time sporting diversity, Annu Rani won an unprecedented bronze in the women’s javelin. Sandeep Kumar won a bronze in the 10,000m walk.

The medal winners

Hindol Basu, August 10, 2022: The Times of India

Birmingham: After the Tokyo Olympics, where India won an unprecedented seven medals, expectations from the country’s 2022 Commonwealth Games contingent were high. Before Birmingham 2022, anticipation of medals was there, but not of a deluge. The absence of shooting, a sport where India dominates on the CWG stage, meant the final medal tally would drop. Star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra being ruled out due to a groin injury, looked like a huge setback.


The Indian contingent had other thoughts though. The wrestlers, the paddlers, the boxers, the lifters, the shuttlers, the judokas, the track and field athletes, and not to forget the Lawn Bowls men and women’s teams, raised their game. India finished 2022 CWG with a haul of 61 medals, including 22 gold. It all started rolling when lifter Sanket Sargar, who comes from Sangli, Maharashtra, clinched silver in the men’s 55kg category. Sargar, in fact, suffered a grave elbow injury during his lifts and was seen on the podium with his right arm in a sling.

India’s first out of its final tally of 22 gold medals came when Mirabai Chanu, the leader of the Indian lifting pack who seems to have the composure of a monk, got a total weight of 201kg. It seemed she was lifting shopping bags! Inspired by Mirabai, and being supported by her “inspiration”, Jeremy Lalrinnunga got another lifting gold the next day. Late in the evening, Achinta Sheuli made sure the golden streak in the weightlifting hall continued.

On August 1, the action shifted to Coventry, a city 48km from Birmingham. Judoka Shushila Likmabam’s silver was witnessed in the nick of time after a quick commute on the West Midlands train and a shuttle bus thereafter. Another judoka, Vijay Kumar Yadav got a bronze immediately after Shushila’s medal ceremony got over.

August 2 was historic. The day before was a shock for the travelling Indian media contingent which knew nothing about the sport Lawn Bowls. When Lovely Choubey, Pinki Singh, Rupa Rani Tirkey and Nayanmoni Saikia reached the final of the women’s fours team event at the picturesque Royal Leamington Spa’s Victoria Park, there was a mad scramble among journalists to first educate themselves about the rules.

In the final, they registered a come-frombehind win over their much-fancied South African rivals to give India the historic gold.

The lifters continued their good show. Vikas Thakur, after winning silver, and Lovepreet Singh, after his bronze, showed respect to their “favourite singer” Sidhu Moosewala by giving the ‘thigh-five’. The men’s team table tennis gold was fashioned by G Sathiyan and Harmeet Desai. Both players won their respective singles and then combined for the doubles triumph. But the star paddler was Sharath Kamal, who won four medals, three gold and a silver. In badminton, the mixed team silver wasn’t the medal the shuttlers wanted.

Tejaswin Shankar gave India its first medal in athletics, a bronze in high jump. After all the troubles he had to endure before the Games, the bronze was as good as gold. Murali Sreeshankar did one better by clinching a silver in long jump. Medals rained on August 5, 6, 7 and 8. All 12 wrestlers, who flew to Birmingham, won medals at the Games. Ravi Dahiya, Bajrang Punia, Deepak Punia, Vinesh Phogat, Naveen Sihag and Sakshi Malik won gold, while Anshu Malik clinched silver. The five bronze winners were Pooja Gehlot, Pooja Sihag, Deepak Nehra, Divya Kakran and Mohit Grewal.

From the track and field at the Alexander Stadium, Avinash Sable ensured there wasn’t another Kenya 1-2-3 in 3000m steeplechase at the CWG. In a heroic performance, Sable managed to push the gold medallist to the post before winning the silver.

Priyanka Goswami also finished second for a silver in women’s 10000m race walk.

But the cake surely went to triple jumpers Eldhose Paul and Abdulla Aboobacker. The two men did the 1-2, gold-silver. It was a stroll in the ring for the three gold medallist boxers. Nitu Ghanghas, Amit Panghal and Nikhat Zareen hardly broke sweat.

On the last day of the Games, the shuttlers had a field day. PV Sindhu got things rolling with a gold in the women’s singles final. Lakshya Sen then gave the country another gold with a tense win over his Malaysian opponent. Finally, the men’s doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty bagged India’s third badminton gold.
