HOW DID THE COMMENWEALTH GAMES BEGIN?
Well it all started with England,England was an expert in sailing around the world and every time the British discovered a land that they thought was empty or really liked they claimed it and once the claimed it that country or place it became part of the Commonwealth!!!
So when sport started to became really big they started the Commonwealth games but it was only for the people who were part of the Commonwealth but one day India decided that they did not want to be part of this Commonwealth and then people thought that this was the end of the Commonwealth but as you can see it is still going strong today!!!
So that is why you don’t see China or any other country’s that are not part of the commonwealth are not aloud to compete!!
Thecommonwealth games are like the Olympics so they only happen every 4 years so it is a pretty big thing!!!
It is being held this year in Delhi India so be sure to watch it on T.V I am sure it will be a very good site to see because I love sport!!
