    The Commonwealth Games is a multinational,multi-sport eventwhich features competitions

    involving thousands of elite athletes from members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Organised

    every four years, they are the third-largest multi-sport event in the world, after the Summer

    Olympic Games and the Asian Games[citation needed].

    As well as many Olympic sports, the Games also include some sports that are played mainly in

    Commonwealth countries, such aslawn bowls,rugby sevens and netball.[1] The Games are

    overseen by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), which also controls the sporting

    programme and selects the host cities. The host city is selected from across the Commonwealth,

    with eighteen cities in seven countries having hosted it.

    The event was first held in 1930 under the title of the British Empire Games in Hamilton,

    Ontario, Canada. The event was renamed as the British Empire and Commonwealth Gamesin

    1954, the British Commonwealth Games in 1970, and gained its current title in 1978. Only six

    teams have attended every Commonwealth Games:Australia,Canada,England,New

    Zealand, Scotland and Wales.Australiahas been the highest scoring team for ten

    games,Englandfor seven and Canada for one.

    There are currently 54 members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and 71 teams participate in

    the Games. The fourHome Nations of theUnited

    KingdomEngland,Scotland,WalesandNorthern Ireland send separate teams to the

    Commonwealth Games, and individual teams are also sent from the British Crown

    dependenciesofGuernsey, Jersey and theIsle of Man(unlike at the Olympic Games, where the

    combined "Great Britain" team represents all four home nations and the Crown dependencies).

    Many of the British overseas territories also send their own teams. The Australian external

    territory ofNorfolk Island also sends its own team, as do the Cook Islands and Niue, two states

    infree association with New Zealand. It has been reported that Tokelau, another dependency

    ofNew Zealand will be sending a team to the2010Games in Delhi,India.

    The most recent games were in 2006 inMelbourne, Australia. The next edition will be held

    in2010 in Delhi, India. The Games in India have been marred by financial irregularities exposing

    a large corruption scam. Although corruption is not uncommon around the world, experts are

    bewildered since the government is not taking a stand against the perpetrators. The Indian

    Central Vigilance committee has warned of sub standard construction that have not met safety

    requirements. It is yet to be seen whether the venues will be ready.

    A sporting competition bringing together the members of theBritish Empire was first proposed by

    the Reverend Astley Cooper in 1891 when he wrote an article in The Times suggesting a "Pan-

    Britannic-Pan-Anglican Contest and Festival every four years as a means of increasing the

    goodwill and good understanding of the British Empire".

    In 1911, theFestival of the Empirewas held in come London to celebrate the coronation of

    KingGeorge V. As part of the festival an Inter-Empire Championships was held in which teams

    from Australia, Canada, South Africa and the United Kingdom competed in events such as

    boxing, wrestling, swimming and athletics.

    In 1928, Melville Marks Robinsonof Canada was asked to organise the first everBritish Empire

    Games. These were held in Hamilton, Canada two years later.

    The first Games were held in 1930 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The name changed to British

    Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954, to British Commonwealth Games in 1970 and

    assumed the current name of the Commonwealth Games in 1978.[2]

    At the 1930 games, women competed in the swimming events only.[3]From 1934, women also

    competed in some athletics events[citation needed].

    The Empire Games flag was donated in 1931 by the British Empire Games Association of

    Canada. The year and location of subsequent games were added until the 1950 games. The

    name of the event was changed to the British Empire and Commonwealth Games and the flag

    was retired as a result.

    Since 1958, there has been arelay of athletes carrying a baton from Buckingham

    Palace to the Opening Ceremony. This baton has within it the Queen's message of greeting

    to the athletes. The baton's final bearer is usually a famous sporting personage of the host

    nation.

    All other nations march in English alphabetical order, except that the first nation marching

    in the Parade of Athletesis the host nation of the previous games, and the host nation of the

    current games marches last. In 2006 countries marched in alphabetical order in geographical

    regions.

    Three national flags fly from the stadium on the poles that are used for medal

    ceremonies: Previous host nation, Current host nation, Next host nation.

    The military is more active in the Opening Ceremony than in the Olympic Games. This is

    to honour the British Military traditions of the Old Empire.

    Games in 1954.[2] Over 1000 athletes participated in the 1958 Games as over thirty teams took

    part for the first time.[5]

    The event was briefly known as the British Commonwealth Games for the 1970 and 1974 editions

    and the 1978 Games, held in Edmonton, Canada, were the first to be held under the title of the

    "Commonwealth Games".[2] The Edmonton event marked a new high as almost 1500 athletes

    from 46 countries took part.[5]

    Participation at the 1986 Games was affected by a boycott by some African and Caribbean

    nations in protest to the participation ofNew Zealand, following the All Blacks Rugby tour of

    Apartheid era South Africain 1985, but the Games rebounded and continued to grow thereafter.

    The 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysiasaw the sporting programme grow

    from 10 to 15 sports as team sportswere allowed for the first time.[2]Participation also reached

    new levels as over 3500 athletes represented 70 teams at the event. At the most recent Games

    (in Melbourne, Australia in 2006), over 4000 athletes took part in sporting competitions.[5]

    The three nations to have hosted the games the most number of times are Australia (4), Canada

    (4), and New Zealand(3). Furthermore, five editions have taken place in the countries within

    the United Kingdom. Two cities have held the games on multiple occasions:Auckland(1950 and

    1990), andEdinburgh(1970 and 1986).

    Very few Commonwealth dependencies and nations have yet to take part:

    Tokelau isexpected to take part in the 2010 Games in Delhi.

    Rwanda gained Commonwealth membership in 2010 and isexpected to take part in

    the 2010 Games in Delhi.

    The Pitcairn Islands' tiny population (50 as of July 2009) would appear to prevent the

    There are currently no permenant residents in the British Indian Ocean Territoryalthough

    there is a sizeablepopulation who were born in the BIOT but currently live in Mauritius and

    the United Kingdom and so would be eligible to compete on birth criteria.

    The lack of a permanent population would seem to prevent the overseas territories

    ofSouth Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands,British Antarctic Territoryand Ross

    Dependency from competing.

    The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has made applications to the CGF to send

    teams.

    Other states and territories with native populations within the Commonwealth that may be

    eligible includeChristmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling)

    Islands, Rodrigues,Nevisand Zanzibar.

    It is also conceivable that any future members of the Commonwealth such

    asapplicantsuch asSudanandYemenmay participate in future games. The Federation of

    South Arabia, a precursor to modern Yeman has participated before.

    Cornwall, represented by the Cornwall Commonwealth Games Assocaition (CCGA), sent

    a bid for participation in the 2006 Commonwealth Games, however, their appication was

    rejected by the CGF, who stated that the Constitutional status of Cornwall was not an issue

    that should be resolved through this medium. However, in 2010, the CCGA sought to launch

    a legal challenge to the decision of the CGF, stating that the Cornish bid of 2006 fulfilled the

    entire criterion of the CGF, and by rejecting the bid, the CGF had violated their own code,

    failing to follow their own criteria for participation. The Cornwall team will therefore seek

    competition in the 2014 games.[8]

    [edit]Boycotts

    This article does notciteany references or sources.Please helpimprove this articleby adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may

    bechallengedandremoved.(April 2010)

    The Commonwealth Games has suffered from political boycottsover its history, largely

    associated with apartheid-era South Africa.Nigeriaboycotted the 1978 Gamesin protest of New

    Zealand's sporting contacts with South Africa, while 32 of 59 nations from Africa, Asia, and

    theCaribbean boycotted the 1986 Commonwealth Gamesdue to the Thatchergovernment's

    attitude towards South African sporting contacts. Boycotts were also threatened in 1974, 1982,

    and 1990 because of South Africa.
