India won 27 silver medals at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi. India's total medal tally was 101 medals - 38 gold, 27 silver, and 36 bronze. This was India's best performance in Commonwealth Games history at that time, finishing third overall behind Australia and England.

The first Asian Games held in Delhi were in 1982, the IX Asian Games. This was a significant event for India as it showcased the country's ability to host a major multi-sport continental event. The 1951 Asian Games were also held in India, but they were hosted in Delhi, making 1982 technically the second time, not the first.

The Indian football team made its Olympic debut at the 1948 London Olympics, though they lost to France in the first round. This was independent India's first Olympic football appearance. India did participate in the 1952 Helsinki and 1956 Melbourne Olympics, with their best performance (semifinals) coming in 1956.

London hosted the 2012 Summer Olympics, making it the first city to host the Games three times (1908, 1948, 2012). The question appears to be from before 2012, asking about the upcoming Olympics at that time.

The 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi marked the second time the event was hosted in Asia, with the first being the 1998 games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This made Delhi only the second Asian city to host the Commonwealth Games. The games have since been hosted in Asia again (Gold Coast 2018 was in Australia, and Birmingham 2022 in England).

At the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, Australia dominated the medal tally with 177 medals overall. England finished second with 142 medals, while host nation India achieved its best-ever performance with 101 medals, finishing third. Canada placed fourth. England has consistently been the second-most successful nation at the Commonwealth Games across multiple editions.

Glasgow, Scotland hosted the XX Commonwealth Games in 2014, making it the third time Scotland hosted the event (after 1970 and 1986 in Edinburgh). Glasgow won the bid to host the games, which were held from July 23 to August 3, 2014. The games featured 17 sports and 261 events across 14 venues. Glasgow's successful hosting continued Scotland's strong tradition with the Commonwealth Games movement.

India won its first Olympic hockey gold medal at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. This marked the beginning of India's dominance in Olympic hockey, where they went on to win six consecutive gold medals. London hosted games in 1908 and 1948, Rome in 1960, and Berlin in 1936.
