The first day of CWG India have begun their medal hunt in the Delhi Commonwealth
Games by scooping up two Silver and two Bronze medals. The hosts won the medals
from the weightlifting arena on the first day of competitions yesterday.Women l
ifters Soniya Chanu and Sandhya Devi Rani opened the medal chest for India by gr
abbing the silver and bronze in the 48 kg class. Augustina Nwaokolo of Nigeria w
on the event and claimed the honour of winning the first Gold of the Games, with
a Games record adding to its luster.
Later in the day, in the men's 56 kg class, Sukhen Dey and V Srinivasa Rao clinc
hed the silver and bronze respectively behind winner Ibrahim Amirul Hamizan of M
alaysia.
Chanu, favourite for the 48 kg gold medal, could not justify her billing and set
tled for silver by clearing 167 kg which was eight kg below the gold medal winni
ng performance by the Nigerian. Sandya Rani took the bronze with a total clearan
ce of 165 kg.
Dey picked up the silver with a total lift of 252 kg, while Rao collected the br
onze with a total of 248 kg. The Malaysian's title-winning effort was 257 kg.
The first day of competitions began with an epoch-making maiden entry into the f
inal by India's men's freestyle swimming quartet of Virdhawal Khade, Anshul Koth
ari, Arjun Jayaprakash and Aaron D'Souza. The foursome finished sixth in the mor
ning heats to make the evening final where they finished in the same position cl
ocking 3 minutes, 27.14 seconds. It's the first time that in swimming the countr
y had been represented in the final in the Commonwealth Games.
Two other Indian swimmers - Badrinath Melkote in men's 50 metres backstroke and
Shubha Chittaranjan in women's 50metres butterfly - qualified for the semi final
s by ending up 14th and 16th in the heats. Both were, however, eliminated in the
evening semi finals. But all other swimmers sunk without making a splash.
In tennis, India put up a dominant display as all three singles players recorded
easy wins. Rohan Bopanna, Rushmi Chakravarthi and Poojashree Venkatesh scored f
acile victories against weak opponents. The star pair of Leander Paes and Sania
Mirza entered the quarterfinals of the mixed doubles by crushing St Lucia's duo
Stacey Nykita Roheman and Alberton Richelieu in straight sets in just 39 minutes
.The only blot on India's otherwise perfect day was the three-set defeat of Bopa
nna and Nirupama Sanjeev against the top seeded Australian pair of Paul Hanley a
nd Anastasia Rodionova in the mixed doubles first round.
Indian shuttlers also kick-started their campaign with a 5-0 clean sweep over Ke
nya in the mixed team event.India, however, were stunned 3-2 by New Zealand in t
he women's table tennis team competition after having blanked Sri Lanka in their
Group D campaign opener.
The country's hopes in squash suffered a major blow when top woman player Dipika
Pallikal pulled out following a bout of mild fever. But rising stars Saurav Gho
sal and Joshna Chinappa kept the tri-colour fluttering in the singles event as I
ndia wrapped up a mixed opening day. Both Ghosal and Chinappa progressed into th
e pre-quarters of the men's and women's singles event respectively, but their ch
ances of advancing further look extremely difficult as both are pitched against
higher ranked opponents today. While the 24-year-old Goshal will play third seed
Englishman Peter Barker in the last-16 round, Chennai-girl Chinappa will be up
against current world number one Nicol David of Malaysia.
Indian archers began their campaign in style, with the men's and women's recurve
teams finishing on top ahead of today's elimination round. Rahul Banerjee and J
ayanta Talukdar topped the men's section, while Deepika Kumari and Dola Banerjee
dominated the women's field.Former world champion Deepika scored 609 and that w
as enough to claim top position in women's individual recurve section, with comp
atriot Dola Banerjee finishing second best.
In hockey, Indian women were held 1-1 by Scotland in a pool match.

Top of the charts is Australia, the medal count on the first day of the Games cl
aiming three gold in swimming and another gold in menâ s team event of artistic gymna
stics and are on top of the table with four gold and two silver.
