Who said India is down in the dumps in the Commonwealth Games?

Overall performance of Indian sportspersons in the Delhi Commonwealth Games has been scintillating. The last event was the crown of all other events when Saina Nehwal won the gold in the badminton women’s singles.

And this gold has contributed to India finishing second in the medal haul in the Delhi CWG. India bagged 38 gold and altogether 101 medals.

Without this win, India would have been relegated to the back with a third position. Now England has been placed on the third slot.

India is traditionally a slow starter. In the case of Saina also she had lost the first set. But she rallied to grab the second and third sets.

Even in organising the event, the country has been abysmally slow and had suffered a lot in the international media about shoddy arrangements. But in the end everything had been placed all right.

But one thing should be sure, when India haggles for holding the Olympic Games, this lethargy should be nipped in the bud.
