  • Roll of Honour
    Roll of Honour The sport of athletics is overwhelmingly an amateur sport run by volunteers, without whom the sport would not exist. Welsh Athletics firmly believes in recognising those who have given outstanding service to the sport in Wales and the following list contains the names of such individuals. Historical Note An award scheme for athletics in Wales was inaugurated by the Welsh AAA which was formed in 1948, and was the first body to control athletics throughout Wales. The Award of Honour was the first to be established in 1952 to mark outstanding service over a “long period of time”. The Meritorious Award followed two years later to reward individuals for a shorter period of service. For individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to athletics in Wales, further recognition was introduced in 1989 with the introduction of a Life Member category, with the number restricted to a maximum of ten individuals. In the major re-organisation of 1990, the Athletics Association of Wales (AAW) – the body which replaced the Welsh AAA, the Welsh Women’s AAA and the Welsh Cross- Country Association – opted to continue with the Life Member and Meritorious Awards but delayed the continuation of the Award of Honour until 1995. When Welsh Athletics Limited replaced the AAW in 2007; it was decided to retain all three categories of awards. Meritorious Award Criteria for inclusion: Created by the Welsh AAA in 1954. This award is open to either active athletes to mark special achievement, or for service at club, regional, school, district schools, university or at national level for Welsh Schools or Welsh Athletics Ltd.

  • Commonwealth Games Walks History
    1 A HISTORY OF RACEWALKING AT THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES The first Commonwealth Games were held in 1930 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Bobby Robinson, a major influence within athletics in Canada at the time, finally implemented the event that had been talked about amongst Commonwealth nations for over thirty years. Eleven countries with 400 athletes in total participated in the first Commonwealth Games. $30,000 was provided by the City of Hamilton to these nations to help cover travelling costs. Since then, the Games have been conducted every four years except for 1942 and 1946, due to World War II. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were known as the British Empire Games, then the British Empire and Commonwealth Games until 1962. From 1966 to 1974 they took on the title of British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as simply the Commonwealth Games. A governor-general represents her in the country. While other Games around the globe have been founded on geographic or climatic factors such as the Asian, Pan Am, African Games and Winter Olympics, the Commonwealth Games has been founded on history. Unique characteristics of the Commonwealth Games include being the only Games which shares a common language. All athletes and officials can converse with each other in English, creating an atmosphere that has led to the Commonwealth Games being long known as the "Friendly Games". Racewalking event was not included in the Commonwealth Games until 1966 in Kingston and the distance chosen was 20 miles, a suitable emperial standard! In 2006, racewalking celebrates its 40th year of participation as a Commonwealth sport.

The need for such an establishment had been discussed in the early 1970s but the concept came of age in 1976 when the Australian Olympic team failed to win a gold medal at the Montreal Olympics, something which was regarded as a national embarrassment for Australia. Athletics was one of the 8 founding sports when the residential program was setup to attract top athletes to Canberra. Racewalkers Sue Cook and Anne Miller were included in the initial Track & Field scholarship intake, with Sue’s husband Bruce as the AIS walks coach for the first 2 years, before Craig Hilliard took over the coaching mantle. For a period of 32 years, from 1981 to 2012, the AIS was a strong supporter of walking in Australia via its scholarship program and many Australian walkers benefited from it. The Institute's well-funded program has been regarded as a major reason for Australia's recent success in international sporting competitions.

  • For the Glory of Sport
    For The Glory Of Sport The story of the Commonwealth Games from 1930 to 2014 By Bob Phillips Author€s Note The Commonwealth Games have always been particularly close to my heart in a lifetime of a passionate interest in sport. I saw them for the first time as a teenage fan in Cardiff in 1958 € when they were still known as the British Empire and Commonwealth Games € and was captivated then by the marvellous deeds of the athletes on a cinder track fitted tightly round the hallowed turf of the celebrated Arms Park rugby-football ground. Lithe and lightning-fast sprinters from the Caribbean islands, rugged middle-distance and long-distance runners from Australia and New Zealand, a gloriously fluent quarter-miler from India, jumpers and throwers from what then seemed such exotic far-flung corners of the globe as Fiji, North Borneo and Singapore € it was all intensely exciting and laid the foundations for what would be for me many more such delightful adventures to come as a professional journalist and broadcaster. Even so, there were only 35 countries competing at those Games of more than half-a-century ago. In Glasgow this year there will be twice that number. The Games have grown out of all recognition, but in the process of so doing they have managed to maintain an intimacy € even a coziness, if you like € which so many of the other forms of international sport have long since shunned in the relentless interests of commercialism. This is a favoured theme of mine which you will find recurring throughout this history of the Commonwealth Games € call me old-fashioned, if you wish, but there are inherent qualities of fair play, of sportsmanship, of comradely competition among members of a vastly extended but affectionate family, which have survived over more than 80 years at these Games, though not entirely unscathed, and they are not widely in evidence elsewhere these days.
