Naturally, since swimming and cycling have like dozens of events for no reason. It's shameful tbqh. : p
Actually, the host countries are given advantage. One of the "rationales" used is that if you're strong in something, you'll have more facilities for that sport, thus more events.
No harm losing to our little brother.
Well played although 15 of your golds are in para sports and almost half of all medals in swimming.
Most of your cities are near sea and people spend a lot of time at beach. While here most of our population lives in land locked area. Given how its a matter of split seconds, with limited players pool and inadequate training compared to other countries in aquatics, cycling and gymnastics, we fail to win medals. We can only get better from here, and hopefully soon.
Yes, in India 2010 we had much more shooting events. We actually had to drop few players who won gold in world championship this year just because they were only competing in just one event, due to the limitations of shooters participating in commonwealth games.
Yes, most Games are biased towards the West. So we always have an extraordinary number of swimming events and lack of eastern sports. I'm not blaming just Australia. But this time you did have more events.
