I believe it is to foster sports , participation and interest in all the countries which form the nations which are part of the nations involved .... There are 70 odd participants to the games ( but look closely and you will find there are only53 countries in the commonwealth so all the rest are overseas territories or Ok adding isle of man and jersey as seperate team ) so lets look at the 53 countries an africa group which includes kenya , uganda , whose primary interest would be athletics a carribean group like jamaica, bahamas etc whose primary interest would be athletics so possibly 15 -20 odd countries who would have a wider interest in a multigames program which would be divided into the core dominion countries - UK , Australia , canada and NZ Large african countries - Nigeria , SA South asian cluster - India, Pakistan , bangladesh srilanka SEA cluster - singapore , malaysia now let us look at the sports they have increased medals in or cut in the last 20 years ( last 5 games ) They have cut shooting 40 to 0 where india dominated , but also the sole medal winner for bangladesh They have cut wrestling from 14 to 0 where it was a sport where india dominated and nigeria did well and so did pakistan ( this took a lot of effort as they had to change the whole framework as they have reduced the weightlifting medals from 45 to 15 a sport where india dominates but the smaller oceanic countries like soma, fiji , etc did well in, also pakistan and srilanka get a majority of their medals . I am seeing this as the next target as this is a sport the dominion do badly at and other countries somoa , india and nigeria do well at so cut a 100 medals here what sports have they increased or added aquatics gone up from 48 to an incredible 66 ...... this event is almost wholly dominated by the dominion 4 and SA cycling gone up from 15 to 26 ...... the event is almost wholely dominated by the dominion 4 lawn bowls gone up from 6 to 11 again a sport dominated by the dominion 4 gymnastics gone up from 15 to 20 odd adding rhythmic gymnastics again a sport dominated by the dominion 4 + cyprus judo has been added by UK and dropped by Aus every time a desperate ping pong in sport of 14 medals again dominated by UK \ Para atheletics around 10-12 events carefully selected to reflect the dominion 4 only 11 /12 medals only by them triatholon and squash with 10 or so medals have been added which are events where all the gold medals are won by the dominion 4 so added a 80 odd medals here so if you add the athletics program of 60 or so , , almost 200 medals out of 270 or so ( 75% comes in just 6 sports .with the new changes l ) ...... 5 out of these 6 sports almost exclusively the dominion of the 5 dominion countries .........and you cut a 100 medals in sports like weightlifting , wrestling and shooting where non dominion countries did well in and completely dropped shooting and wrestling pretty much mainstay programs if india protests it is a fair protest ....... this is turning into a dominion games.... of interest of only the 4 dominion countries and possibly SA ........ so go ahead you are killing interest in the CWG in all countries except the 4 dominion countries and SA ............ anyway commonwealth para games , commonwealth youth games , cCWG winter games are already killed .......very soon the main CWG will die or you convert them into a quadrilateral games and drop the multigames tag Quote An expressions of interest process for additional sports to be included in the Victoria 2026 Commonwealth Games has commenced and will involve submissions from international sporting federations with support from recognised or affiliated Australian organisations. The period for consideration will close on 19 August. https://www.nationaltribune.com.au/game-on-dates-locked-in-more-sports-for-2026/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,077 Posted July 6, 2022 #276 Share Posted July 6, 2022 What a horrible time to host the games. THe Winter Paralympics just finish 2 days before then. Guaranteed no CBC there and that likely means Canadians will need to watch on some app (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the men's team has a lot of people earning their first caps. Couple of the veterans on the team such as Kindler and Smythe were left off.
