GOLDEN GIRLS
It’s raining medals for India at the Commonwealth Games as women break records. The table tennis team, led by Manika Batra won its first ever Commonwealth gold medal and Manu Bhaker shot to the top, also winning a gold in the 10m womens air pistol event. Punam Yadav lifted her personal best of 222 kg to bag a gold in the 69 kg category and Sanjita Chanu won the gold in the 53 kg category. As the fight for better training infrastructure for sportswomen rages on back home, the women have shown that nothing can hold them down.
