Commonwealth games

I think the Commonwealth games are: a sporting event where countries from the commonwealth (British empire) compete for medals that are gold silver and bronze. it is a lot like the Olympic games but only for the commonwealth. this year it is being held in Glasgow and Glasgow is part of the commonwealth.


Some of the sports are:
  • Kayaking
  • Hockey
  • Athletics
  • Shot put
  • Javelin
  • Swimming
  • Weight lifting
  • Track and field
  • Discus
  • Archery
  • Basketball
  • Netball
  • And many more!
Other facts I know are: They are being held in Glasgow. They are once every 4 years. New Zealand competes in the games. Once it was held in New Zealand.
