History of the Commonwealth Games
GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games. Competing Countries (11) Australia, Bermuda, British Guiana (now Guyana), Canada, England, Newfoundland (now part of Canada), New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.

Athletes As Tourists: Consumer Behaviour of Participants at the 2007 and 2009 World Universiade Games
PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/v10141-011-0007-7 Athletes as Tourists: Consumer Behaviour of Participants at the 2007 and 2009 World Universiade Games Douglas Michele Turco 1, Dimitra Papadimitrou 2, Serkan Berber 3 1 Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA 2 University of Patras, Rio, Greece 3 Anadalu University, Eskişehir, Turkey ABSTRACT Considerable research has been devoted to sport mega-events including the Olympic Games, the FIFA World Cup, and the Commonwealth Games. Yet few studies have focused on the lesser known or “second tier” international sport events in order to understand the patterns and the impact of participant consumption. Further, few sport event studies are extended beyond a single assessment. This study examines a recurring sport event, the World Universiade Summer Games, that took place in two different countries, Belgrade, Serbia and Bangkok, Thailand. A profile of participants at the 2007 and 2009 Universiades was generated to reveal and compare their consumer behaviour in the host cities and over time. Subjects were queried on-site during selected days of competition (N=441, 2007; N=221, 2009). Findings demonstrate a remarkable consistency in participant characteristics and local spend from 2007 to 2009, though the amount spent per night was considerably less than the average per night spend by other types of tourists in the host countries, suggesting that Universiade athletes are non high-value tourists. Discussion and implications of findings to sport and tourism destination scholars and marketers are presented. KEYWORDS sport tourism, mega-events, World Universiade Games Introduction The summer Olympic Games and the FIFA Men’s World Cup are the two largest sport mega- events on the planet in terms of media audience, production costs, impact, etc.; all other events pale in comparison.

Commonwealth Youth Games: Bahamas 2017
Commonwealth Youth Games: Bahamas 2017 General Selection Policy Introduction 1. This selection policy has been agreed by Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS) and outlines the general Commonwealth Youth Games Selection principles for the 2017 Youth Games in Bahamas. The Games are an invitational event for athletes born in 1999 or later (depending on the sport). Scotland has been allocated 39 athlete places (plus Rugby 7s, Beach Soccer and Beach Volleyball [tbc]) by the Games organisers. Selection Aim 2. To select a team of athletes capable of competing with distinction for Scotland at the 2017 Youth Commonwealth Games and who have the potential to win medals for Scotland at future Commonwealth Games. Broad Selection Principles 3. The Youth Games are identified primarily as a development opportunity for staff and athletes likely to represent and win medals for Scotland at future Commonwealth Games: in particular in 2018, 2022 and beyond. 4. The CGS Board will appoint a CGS Selection Panel and a CGS Appeals Panel, personnel on both being different. 5. Selection will be made on the basis of athletes demonstrating the ability to perform at these future events, with medal potential at the 2017 Youth Games an additional, but secondary, principle. 6. With this in mind selection criteria and standards will be based on a performance level of Great Britain age group ranked number 4 or agreed equivalent. The ability to compete in multiple events should also be taken into account, where appropriate. CGS General Selection Bahamas V2 7. As total team numbers are limited by the organisers, all Scottish Governing Bodies of sport (SGBs) will be required to develop a sport specific policy document based on the above principles and to include sport specific criteria and standards.
