CWG 2022: Indian women's team enter maiden lawn bowls final to ensure medal
Make what you want of it, but you cannot deny Lovely Choubey, Pinki, Nayanmoni Saikia and Rupa Rani Tirkey their place in the Commonwealth sun. Lawn bowls represents a long-standing residue of the Empire. It's all very British, like tea in the afternoon. Shooting, an equally ancient sport and social custom, may not figure at Birmingham 2022, but this quaint, leisurely-paced pastime has been a constant at these Games -- even when they were being called the British Empire Games. To think, it's been a CWG regular since 1930, having been sat out just once because Kingston, the host city in 1966, didn't have enough bowls greens!
