Glasgow, Aug 3: Eleven gold medals will be up
for grabs on the final day of the 20th
Commonwealth Games here Sunday. India
will compete in four disciplines for a shot at
the top prize. Parupalli Kashyap will kick off
proceedings for the Indians in the men’s
singles badminton gold medal match against
Singapore’s Derek Wong.
Shuttlers Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa
will also be in action against Malaysian duo
Vivian Kah Mun Hoo and Khe Wei Woon in the
women’s doubles final. In a repeat of the 2010
Delhi Games men’s hockey final, India will take
on the might of the Australians.
India have won just one hockey medal, a silver,
in the Commonwealth Games and that was four
years ago when they were thrashed 0-8 by
Australia. Not to be counted out, six Indians
will take part in the men’s cycling road race. A
medal for them of any colour in this discipline,
which is dominated by the English and the
Australians, is, however, highly unlikely.
India are fifth in the medal standings with a
tally of 61 medals, including 14 golds, 28
silvers and 19 bronzes and are assured of a
minimum of three more silvers by the end of
the day.
