XIX Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010
An introduction
Delhi will play host to XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 next October with a record equalling 17 disciplines confirmed for competition. Among the 17 is archery, one of the oldest sporting events known to mankind. As per the available records, archery events were held only once, in 1982 Brisbane Games. When Delhi hosts the Games, it will be for the second time archery will be part of the prestigious Games.
Not surprisingly, the Brisbane Games offered only two gold medals in the men's and women's recurve double FITA round. Mark Blenkarne of England with a score of 2,446/2880 points won the men's gold medal and Neroli Fairhall of New Zealand with the score of 2,373/2880 points won the women's gold medal. The men's silver medal went to Canada and the bronze medal to host Australia. The women's silver medal was bagged by Northern Ireland and Canada took home the bronze medal.
The Delhi 2010 Games will see competition in both recurve archery and compound bow sections. There will be eight golds, eight silvers and eight bronze medals on offer. Competitions will be held in team and individual events of men's and women's recurve and compound sections. The finals are expected to be played at the famous lawns of India Gate!

Asian individual compound champion Isaiah Rajendra Sanam of Andra Pradesh, Chungda Sherpa of Services and Olympian V. Pranitha of Steel Plant Sports Board (recurve) were out of the Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010 archery competition.
On the fillip side, the qualification of a clutch of youngsters in Atanu Das (men’s recurve), Cadet World Champion Deepika Kumari (women’s recurve), Ritul Chatterjee and Ch. Jignas (men’s compound) and Gagandeep Kaur and Vrushali Gorle (women’s compound) spoke volumes of the training and selection method adopted by the Archery Association of India.
At the end of the four-day selection trials in which 12 best archers in each category participated, the 24 came out with flying colours. With the National chief coach Limba Ram promising to the media at least six gold medals out of eight available at the competition, Indian archery can look forward to a very fruitful outing at Delhi in October.
