Commonwealth Games
The Commonwealth Games are an international multi-sport event involving athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations. It takes place every four years and brings people from across the world together in celebration of the talent and athletic skill of competitors within the commonwealth. The event was first held in 1930 and is scheduled to take place quadrennially with a different city as host each time. The 2022 Commonwealth Games are officially known as the XXII Commonwealth Games and are commonly known as Birmingham 2022. For the first in Commonwealth Games history, the competition schedule features more medal events for women than men and features a fully integrated para-sports programme.
This year, the games include Aquatics, Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Bowls, Boxing, Cycling, Gymnastics, Hockey, Netball, Rugby 7s, Shooting, Squash, Table Tennis, Tennis, Weight, Wrestling and more. It’s a very exciting time to visit Birmingham for lovers of sport.
