Commonwealth Games Explanation

The Commonwealth games is a  competition that only Commonwealth countries can compete in. Commonwealth countries are the countries that used to be ruled by the British empire.There are 53 countries in the commonwealth games. The first Commonwealth games were held in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada.


The Commonwealth had lots of names, in 1950 the games were known as British empire games, then it was called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games,then the British Commonwealth Games. Then in 1978, the games were held in Edmonton, Canada. That’s when they changed the name to Commonwealth Games.


Every four years, the place’s where it’s held change’s. They choose were it's held by having a vote. In 2018 it will be held in Australia’s gold coast. It’s going to be amazing and I hope I can also go their and watch the show. The Commonwealth Games for 2014 are coming to an end and I have enjoyed watching it online with my brothers.
