►India competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, People's Republic of China. A contingent of 56 athletes represented India, and they had a support-staff of 42 officials. The athletics contingent was the largest, with 16 athletes.
The 2008 Beijing Olympics saw the best ever performance by an Indian contingent, in terms of the number of medals. They won three medals in all (one gold and two bronze medals), surpassing the two silvers by Norman Pritchard in 1900 Paris Olympics.

Why there is a big difference in the performance in these two similar events?

There is a big difference in the levels of competition, since the Commonwealth Games are limited to the those countries with membership, and the Olympics are open to all athletes in the world.
