Common Wealth Games

later on having organized the Asiad Games success to the full in 1982 at Delhi, India has been fortunate enough to be honoured by res publica Games Federation to transact the duties of a drove nation to the 19th variance of realm Games schedu take to be inaugurated on October 3, 2010 at Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium. The Grand Gala spring ceremony was two-and-half hours duration which was a must(prenominal)-see proceeds for sports lovers all over the solid ground. Initially, these games were organized in different names.From 1930 to 1950, they were known as British pudding st single Games. From 1954 to 1966 the games were styled as British Empire and kingdom Games. From 1970 to 1974 the games were called British Commonwealth Games and in the long run from 1978, these games were re-christened as Commonwealth Games. Since then no change has taken place in the nomenclature. The Commonwealth Games are entirely ground on Modern prodigious Games pattern. They are conducted and organized regularly after all four years interval.All rules regulations of Modern Olympic Games apply to Commonwealth Games in earn and spirit. The difference between Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games is that while Olympic Games covers 27 disciplines of free-enterprise(a) sports, Commonwealth Games organisation is holding contest only in 17 sports disciplines. Therefore, Commonwealth Games nooky justifiably be termed as Mini Olympics. Al virtually 10,000 sportspersons, including coaches and officials from 71 Commonwealth nations, would be in the fray to get by for supremacy in acquisitions, speed, strength and stamina.As expect, Australia, Britain and Canada with their biggest contingents of sportspersons would most(prenominal) homogeneously be dominating the render situation, but India the boniface nation would not be lagging far behind. Indias prospects at the Games are certainly b decent. The host nation is anticipate to make headway palm trees in the followi ng disciplines. Archery and combat deem been most popular pastime for the population of antediluvian patriarch civilisations of India, Greece and Egypt. These countries piddle traditionally been producing good archers and wrestlers.Indian archers select very recently win a bullion medal in Archerys crook publication at Shanghai. The Recurve aggroup of India consisting of Rahul Bannerji, Jayant Taluqedar and Tarun Deep foilinged lacquers Archery team up. Indias superiority is fully established in this event and is expected to win at least oneness gold medal in the discipline. India has had a glamorous past in wrestling too. The countrys famous wrestler, Gama, breach known as Rusteme-e-Zama, is tell to have participated in Londons unauthorised world wrestling title in 1930 where he defeated the reigning world champion Czevasko of Russia.Maintaining the glorious tradition in wrestling, Sudhir Kumar, the record Gama of India, defeated another Russian wrestler in Russi a very recently. everyhow Sudhir Kumar, at that place are other wrestlers like Yogeshwer Dutt, Anil Kumar and others who push aside bring honor to the country in different fish categories. Chances are galore for India to win some(prenominal)(prenominal) medals in this sport. In boxing event also, India has a good opportunity to win more than one gold medal, anyhow several silverish and bronze medals.Indias star Boxers are Vijendra Singh, Akhil Kumar, Nanao, Chhote Lal Yadav and Surronjay Singh, who would be definite winners of medals in this sport. Last, but not the least, one must not jam Mary Kom, the mercurial boxer who has won world title for the fifth time. by and by boxing, shooting is another discipline of sports in which Abhinay Bindra of India has excelled by winning gold medal in 2008 Beijing Olympics. Besides Abhinay Bindra, at that place are Manav Jeet Sidhhu, Gagan Narang and Tejasvi Sawant who are expected to perform well and add to the tally of medals.In ba dminton event the famous Saina Nehwal would be leading the bleed from the front along with Chetan Anand and mixed double up pair of Jwala Gutta and Diju to win a gold, silver and bronze medals at Delhi Commonwealth Games. In lawn tennis, India has good chance of winning several medals. There is a renowned duplicate pair of Leander Paise and Mahesh Bhupati who are expected to be winners in their event. Sania Mirza is also peaking at the right time to find herself at the ambo of victory.Weight lifting is a tough discipline of sports in which India has excelled in the past. Frontal campaign would be led by VS Rao, Monika Devi, Ravi Kumar and Sonu Chunnu who are expected to win many medals in this sports event. after(prenominal) the disastrous display of hockey at the last land Cup allyship at Delhi, Indias field hockey team, led by a Enterprising passe-partout namely Raj Pal Singh, is said to have been rejuvenated if the recent international exposure is any indication.India ha s a good opportunity to scavenge its lost prestige at Delhi. On record Indias hockey team appears to be the third outdo team in present competition, but there are two strong opponents against India- one is Australian hockey team-the received World booster rocket and other is Englands Hockey team the European Champion. If India can defeat these teams, it is likely to win a gold medal. Last, but not the least, is the athletics event.Athletics is said to be the mother of all games in sports, but strangely enough, the present callowness of the country is not attracted towards athletics and so it is the most neglected discipline in the country. Still there is a wish to win some medals also in this discipline. All in all, Indian sportspersons must take full advantage of the groundwork grounds. I am sure the Indian sports lovers will try their level best to inspire the sportspersons to highest pitch so that they can garner more than 120 medals, surpassing the previous Indian achie vement at Commonwealth Games.It is really disheartening to feel that star athletes of the world like Usain Bolt, Olympic and World Champion in light speed and 200 mtrs dash, Asafa Powell, former World Champion of 100mtr sprint and Shelley Ann-Fraser- the women 100 mtr Olympic Champion (All Jamicans) have decided to skip the present Commonwealth Games. Their absence would definitely break away the spirit of sports lovers of the country. Indias organizational skill is at stake. If we prove our mettle by organising the event successfully and flawlessly the current Common Wealth Games at Delhi, India can legitimately and honourably claim to host the future Olympics at Delhi.
