Commonwealth Games will be held at Glasgow, Scotland from 23rd July to 3rd August. This time there is hardly any buzz in Indian media regarding this event. I hope that India will do well.
Tennis is not there. In boxing, India is screwed because of new rules. I am not 100% sure but new rules are like Professional boxing with no protective gear. Also there is lot of cheating in Boxing. We will face boxers from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. All four of them are like home countries being part of UK. Typical fight with any British Boxer if you see- First Round British Boxer will land up few punches and he gets the score and good lead. After that he has to just defend, no matter how many times opposition boxer lands up the punches, he will not get any point. Judges are mostly from Central Asian countries and are very corrupt. Just see how Indian boxers lost in last Olympics or Commonwealth games, you will realise how cheating occurs. India is champion in Wrestling and Shooting at this level.
In Wrestling , there are Freestyle and Greco-Roman. India won 4 gold medlas in Greco roman last time. But this time, only free style is there. They cunningly removed Greco roman category.
