The Indian women lawn bowls team created history at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham on Tuesday by winning a gold medal in the women’s fours format.

The team, consisting of Rupa Rani Tirkey, Pinki, Nayanmoni Saikia and Lovely Choubey, won the Gold medal by beating the South African team.

Our Indian Women team has won a gold gold medal in a sport where most people in their own country do not have any idea about this sport.

A Historic Gold for India in #CommonwealthGames Lawn Bowls!

What is Lawn Bowls Game?

Bowls are spherical ball-like objects made of wood, rubber or sometimes plastic resin, having flattened sides and a diameter between 112mm and 134mm. The bowls weigh  up to 1.59kg and often have indentations on them which allows the players to grip better.

While playing the sport the players stand on either side of a 600mm long and 360mm wide mat and take turns rolling these bowls in an attempt to get closest to the jack and the jack is sometimes of white or yellow colour and is pretty much lighter and smaller than the bowl.

How is it played?

In the fours event, the first bowler is called the lead followed by the second and the third. The last bowler is called the ‘skip’ and that person is the leader of the team. Each team member gets two bowls per round and when all eight bowlers have bowled twice, the teams switch sides.

And at the end of each round points are given to the respective teams that has it’s bowls close to the skip and each match ends after 15 rounds and whichever team has higher points is the winner of the game.

In a world, where most of us (Indians) don’t comprehend Lawn Bowls, Our girls have just bagged a #GoldMedal for us. Amazingly unbelievable!! Kudos to their hard work and equanimity. #LawnBowls #CWG2022 #IndiaTaiyaarHai #India4CWG2022 pic.twitter.com/U6Vxb1YxUF
