This competition should be abolished, a part from it reminding us of the past colonial rule it clearly shows that the "OWNERS" dont take it seriously.
Just see how England, Scotts and Wales are scoring poorly...Ireland is not even nowhere on the medal standing.

NKT!

For some of this countries its about funds and where they will be allocated nigeria has been on a roll in wrestling at this championships am sure they will request for more funding to develop the sport further once they return

Long but interesting read but the south africans have been asking the same questions

The reason I wondered about Commonwealth prestige, is that every four years, the Commonwealth Games represent a high-point midway through South Africa’s Olympic cycle. It’s our four-yearly celebration of our administrators for their excellent achievements (we win 30 to 40 medals, fairly consistently), before the inevitable Olympic downturn two years later

Kenya always finishes ahead of everyone at the Commonwealth games athletics table. In 2010, Kenya were tops with 11 gold. England had 7. Its not because England do not take it seriously. They do. They just do not have enough talent.

Where they beat us thoroughly is in highly technical events that require high investment, coaching and infrastructure. The neat thing about running that helps poor countries is that no infrastructure is needed. You can run anywhere. Try swimming anywhere.

Me personally I dont want Kenya to invest in sports like sijui swimming, gymnastics ama diving. We should pick the 3 or 4 most popular sports that can generate employment for youths and invest in them : football, rugby, basketball, athletics & volleyball. Start by building football and basketball fields in every estate from Nairobi to Mombasa, Kisumu na pengineo.
