The Results
The XVII Commonwealth Games is a world-class event
and is the world’s largest multi-sport event outside
the Olympic games. The event will involve over 5,000
athletes and officials, from 72 countries competing
across 17 sports, a celebration of sporting excellence.
The Games will involve more competitors from more Commonwealth
nations than ever before. An estimated one million people
will attend the games and a further one billion will
watch them on TV.
Values of these Games:
Humanity. Equality. Destiny.
The Commonwealth Games have a unique distinction in
the world of sport – for they are dedicated as
no other sporting event is to the principles of democracy
and equality among nations. Every four years, they take
the world’s stage to celebrate the shared values
and traditions of the Commonwealth – a family
of 72 countries and territories whose smallest member
has a voice equal to its largest. For the athletes of
Commonwealth, these games serve as a moment of destiny,
a chance to build friendships and push the envelope
of human performance to new heights on a field of fair
play. With the introduction of its new identity, The
Bar, the Commonwealth Games are raising the bar of sport
for all humanity.
