  • 1 Arthur Vrolik Rob Jones Dieuwke Kramer PED 201 Dr. John
    1 Arthur Vrolik Rob Jones Dieuwke Kramer PED 201 Dr. John Byl February 26, 2004 The Commonwealth Games were first held in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. The idea of holding a competition of this size for the countries in the British Empire had come much earlier. The idea was born in 1891 and was fathered by a man named John Astley Cooper, an Englishman who wanted a festival to “promote goodwill and understanding in the British Empire”.1 They held the first “festival” in 1911 to celebrate the coronation of King George V in London. This first competition included teams from Britain, South Africa, Canada and Australia. The four teams participated in five athletic events, two swimming races, boxing and wrestling. After the festival they decided to continue more sporting events but the First World War put these ideas off until the 1920’s. In 1928 the Olympiad games were held in Amsterdam, after which, Bobby Robinson, manager of the Canadian track and field team, called together the Empire Representatives and decided to have the British Empire Games in Hamilton, Ontario, Robinson’s home town.2 Over the next three decades the Games grew in size. The growth in size reflected an increase in the number of nations that participated, but also the fact that, as time went by, more and more female athletes chose to participate. The number of sports also increased giving more variety to the Games. This growth was paused for a time because of the Second World War that caused the cancellation of the Games from 1938 to1950.
