  • Achievements in Boxing
    BOXING XIX COMMONWEALTH GAMES, NEW DELHI (OCTOBER 03-14, 2010) The Indian pugilists cashed greatly on the impetus provided by the bronze medal winning performance by Vijender Singh at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, by performing exceptionally in the international arena. Ever since the Beijing Olympics the performance of the Indian boxers has had an upward graph, which was clearly visible in the 2010 Commonwealth Games. India hosted the 2010 Commonwealth Games which were held in Delhi. India won 101 medals in total, including 38 Gold medals, enabling it to finish the Games at second position behind Australia. An unprecedented haul of three gold and four bronze medals in boxing at the Games, was a significant contribution to Indian overall medal tally. Suranjoy Singh (52kg), Manoj Kumar (64kg) and Paramjeet Samota (+91kg) were the gold- medallists for India, while star attraction Vijender Singh (75kg), Amandeep Singh (49kg), Jai Bhagwan (60kg) and Dilbag Singh (69kg) had to be content with bronze medals after losing in the semi finals. This was India’s best-ever medal haul at the Games, two better than the previous edition in Melbourne where the country fetched just one gold. XVI ASIAN GAMES AT GUANGZHOU, CHINA NOVEMBER 12-27, 2010 The power pack performance of Indian boxers at Asian games was better than any of their prior efforts. Indian boxers clinched two gold, three silver and two bronze medals at the Asiad. In the Women’s discipline which was making its debut at the Asian Games, Indian boxers secured two bronze medals as well. This was also the first time that Indian boxers were able to win greater than a single gold medal in Asian games.
