  • Sport History
    Coomera Indoor Sports Gymnastics - Centre (CSC) Artistic Sport History Gymnastics – Artistic Origins and the sport today: Dating back to the ancient Olympic Games, Friedrich Ludwig JAHN (GER) formulated the first set of rules for group- based exercise in the early 19th century. Today, the sport is governed by the Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). Artistic gymnastics was part of the first Olympics of the modern era in Athens in 1896, while the first FIG Gymnastics World Championship took place in Antwerp in 1903. Today, the 148 affiliated federations worldwide have a combined members total estimated at about 50 million, with almost 6000 licensed to compete at the elite level. The sport took on a much higher profile when Nadia COMANECI (ROU) and Nellie KIM (URS) scored perfect scores of 10 at the Montreal 1976 Olympics. Judging has also evolved, with judges separated into D (difficulty) and E (execution) panels in order to mark the content and quality of each display – a panel of reference judges (RJS) is also on hand. Artistic gymnastics at the Commonwealth Games: Artistic gymnastics is an optional sport at the Commonwealth Games, meaning it is up to the host federation to decide whether it should be on the program. Artistic gymnastics has been part of the Commonwealth Games since Edmonton 1978, although it was not at the Brisbane 1982 and Edinburgh 1986 Games. In the all-around discipline, Max WHITLOCK (ENG) is the defending Commonwealth Games men’s champion, along with his English compatriots in the team event. Both men’s and women’s events consist of team and individual all-around 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.
