CWG 2026: Indian Contingent Shifts Gears, Moves From Ceremony To Performance
Indian Olympic Association: Less than twelve hours after proudly marching into the OVO Hydro during the opening ceremony of the 2026 Commonwealth Games, Team India had already shifted gears on the first full day of competitions on Friday.
The music had faded; celebrations ended. By Friday morning, the Indian contingent was back to what it had travelled to Scotland for – serious competition.
