Detailed explanation-1: -The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) in February 2020 announced that Chandigarh will host the Commonwealth shooting and archery championships in January 2022, and the medals from the two events will be counted for the “ranking of competing nations” at the Birmingham Games.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Commonwealth Games are currently taking place in the British city of Birmingham – but there’s no archery competition.
Detailed explanation-3: -The unavailability of a decent shooting range in the British West Midlands region, and the organiser’s unwillingness to invest in a new facility had led to shooting being dropped from the roster.
Detailed explanation-4: -The 2022 Commonwealth Games was only the second CWG without shooting since the event’s inception in 1966, the other being in 1970. India ended its Commonwealth Games 2022 campaign in Birmingham with 61 medals, which included 22 Gold, 16 Silver and 23 Bronze Medals.
Detailed explanation-5: -Shooting, archery and wrestling were dropped from the Games programme, as it’s the prerogative of the host nation to choose disciplines among the 22-strong list of core sports.
