While some nations threatened with boycotts, all members of the Commonwealth participated in the event, with the exception of Fiji, which was suspended from the Commonwealth, and Tokelau, which didn't send a team. Australia led the medal tally with 177 medals including 74 golds. The host nation, India, achieved its best performance ever at the Commonwealth Games, finishing second, winning 101 medals including 38 golds.
