Commonwealth Games 2022: India win Gold in Lawn Bowls

The Indian women’s team of Nayanmoni Saikia, Pinki, Lovely Choubey, and Rupa Rani Tirkey made history on Tuesday by winning gold in the women’s four Lawn Bowls final at the Commonwealth Games.

In the finals, they defeated South Africa 17-10, securing the country’s first medal in the sport. The men’s table tennis final is also underway against Singapore. G Sathiyan and Harmeet Desai won the first game, but Sharath Kamal’s 3-1 defeat kept both teams on equal footing. Sathiyan is currently playing singles against Yew En Koen Pang. Meanwhile, the women’s 76kg weightlifting final and women’s 100m heats were both a letdown.

Punam Yadav’s fault in the clean and jerk round cost her a medal opportunity as she was placed second with 98kg after the snatch round. Sprinter Dutee Chand finished fourth in the women’s 100m heats, clocking 11.55s.
