Weight Lifting at Commonwealth Games 2010
The 19th Commonwealth Games at New Delhi, India in 2010 will feature 17 sports disciplines. The Indian game of Kabaddi will be a demonstration game, while triathlon might not be included beecause of lack of a suitable location. Generally, the CWG features, basketball as well, but the Delhi Games organisers have proposed removing it and instead adding archery, tennis, billiards and snookers for men.
Weight Lifting has been a part of Commonwealth Games since Auckland Games of 1990 and Delhi 2010 will have 8 weight categories for men and 7 for women.
