It's always fun to see athletes switching over to compete in different sports, especially from smaller nations. Tuvalu had a former footballer competing in the javelin at the Commonwealth Games.

I think it'll be a good idea if everyone here from countries participating in the games state his most internationally recognized athletes in any sport so we can better judge how strong will be these games

Portuguese delegation is going to be announced tomorrow...

But from what I know Silver medalist in London (k2 1000) and triple European Champion Fernando Pimenta (K1000) will be In canoe sprint.

Also 12 times European medalist and Bronze in Rio Telma Monteiro is expected to be in Judo -57. 

5th placed in Rio João Pereira is also in the list for Triatlon... 

 

This are the big names known so far for the Portuguese delegation. Some more will probably be in the list.
