XIX Commonwealth Games, New Delhi 2010XX Commonwealth Games, Glasgow 2014Malaysia seems to be doing well this time in the XIX (19) Commonwealth Games staged in New Delhi, India which runs from 3rd to 14th October 2010.  Malaysia is sitting at 7th spot with 35 medals… 12 gold, 10 silver and 13 bronze.

The best medals collection for Malaysia before was during the XVI (16) Commonwealth Games staged at home in Kuala Lumpur with 36 medals… 10 gold, 14 silver and 12 bronze at 4th spot. Comparing this year 2010 games with the 1998 games,  XVI Commonwealth Games, Kuala Lumpur 1998 you can see that total medal collection is short one medal… but it improved on gold medal collection, 12 compared to 10 and silver with 13 compared to 12. But collection for silver is short of 1 medal… only 10 compared to 14.

Although Malaysia did not bring home any trophies, the better gold medals collection is enough to make some smiling. Let’s wait and see what Malaysia can do on the next games… the XX (20) Commonwealth Games in 2014 to be held in Glasgow, Scotland.

The overall winner for XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 is Australia with 35 gold medals followed by India and England with 25 and 22 gold medals respectively.
