The 23rd Commonwealth Games opened at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, with nearly 3,000 athletes from 74 countries competing over 11 days. King Charles III officially inaugurated the Games. Mirabai Chanu and Lovlina Borgohain led India’s 123-member contingent, which will compete in eight able-bodied and five para sports. The absence of shooting, hockey, badminton, wrestling and cricket may affect India’s medal prospects.
