India Aims to Build on 2022 CWG Success
India had a great time at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
They won 61 medals, including 22 golds, even though they didn't compete in shooting, which usually gives them a lot of medals.
Wrestling and weightlifting were their best sports.
Now, they're getting ready for the 2026 Games in Glasgow, hoping to do even better.
They have a big team with 215 athletes, and they want to win more medals in sports like athletics, boxing, badminton, and table tennis.
