There were as many as four different sports in the Birmingham edition in which India topped the medal tally (Ranking on a medal tally is determined by number of gold medals won, followed by silver and bronze). These sports were Wrestling, Weightlifting, Badminton and Table Tennis. In Wrestling Indian athletes won a total of 12 medals, with 50% of those medals (6) being golds. India also collected one silver and five bronze medals in wrestling, across the men's and women's disciplines. The next best Wrestling nation at CWG 2022 was Canada. The Canadians also collected 12 medals in all, but had three golds, five silvers and four bronze medals.
