Usha stated, “I welcome the steps taken on the return of Shooting in the 2026 Victoria Commonwealth Games. At the same time, we have sought the intervention of the CGF leadership to make Archery, Wrestling and Kabaddi part of the Games competition roster in future.”

I’m sure that the inclusion of para-shooting will also add to India’s medal tally.”
“I believe we have made a strong case for India to have Wrestling and Archery back at CWG. The Wrestling results at Birmingham Games is a testimony of India’s dominance in the sport with an all-time second best to Canada since the history of the Games.”
