CWG 2022: Women's team makes history in Lawn Bowls, win elusive gold

CWG 2022: India's Women's Fours team win Gold in Lawn Bowls

Not many people in India knew about Lawn Bowls but India's Women's Fours team made sure the country sat up and took notice of them on Tuesday.

The team comprising of Lovely Chaubey, Pinki, Nayanmoni Saikia and Rupa Rani Tirkey etched their names in history books as they beat South Africa 17-10 in the final to win an elusive Gold at Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham. India was trailing 8-10 but then the ladies staged a brilliant comeback and claimed 9 points on the trot.

This is the first time an Indian side finished on the podium in this event at the CWG. What made this feat even more special was the fact that the girls didn’t even have the facility to train on the greens until a couple of weeks prior to the Games.
