The Commonwealth Games is a major international multi-sport event that takes place every four years, bringing together athletes from countries and territories that are members of the Commonwealth of Nations. The event features a wide range of sports, including athletics, swimming, cycling, gymnastics, and many others.

The Commonwealth Games originated from the British Empire Games, which were first held in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. The event was renamed the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954 and later became known as the Commonwealth Games in 1970. The Commonwealth Games are hosted by different cities around the world. Past host cities include London (England), Melbourne (Australia), Glasgow (Scotland), and Delhi (India). The next edition, as of 2022, is scheduled to be held in Birmingham, England in 2022. The Commonwealth Games feature a diverse range of sports, including both traditional and modern disciplines. Athletics (track and field), swimming, and cycling are among the core sports, while additional sports may vary from one edition to another. In addition to sporting competitions, the Commonwealth Games promote cultural exchange and cooperation among participating nations. The Queen’s Baton Relay, which precedes each Games, symbolizes this spirit of unity and friendship.
