Commonwealth Games

[T'boo Ted]

Just wondering for you UK types, how big a deal is the Comm games for you? I guess personally and as a nation?
Just asking as an Australian where over here it seems to be bigger than the Olympics.

I thought the cycling route for the road race was a bit pony

Personal preference I think. My wife loves the gymnastics and I love cycling so dependant on what event is on at the time we follow as much a possible. No real ranking or preference, kinda why it’s timetabled as it is I guess. The athletes will have different preferences I think, some work for the olympics, some worlds, some regionals and some commonwealth. Tbh I’d be happy attempting any haha. Proud of them all
