President Ram Nath Kovind on Monday met Commonwealth Games medal winners at Rashtrapati Bhawan, in New Delhi.

Commonwealth Games 2018 has been historic for India in more than one sense: India landed its 500th medal at the event, had a fine run in the Games with 66 medals — mostly gold, and finished third in the medals tally.

A comparison of India’s performance in the shooting, wrestling, and weightlifting — three sports Indian athletes have historically excelled at — in the last two editions of the CWG show that the efforts have gone beyond only securing a medal.
