  • Sports Yearbook 2010 Incorporating the Annual Review 2008 - 2009 a Word from the Vice-Chancellor
    Supported by University of Cambridge Sport Sports Yearbook 2010 Incorporating the Annual Review 2008 - 2009 A word from the Vice-Chancellor Welcome to the University of Cambridge Sports Year book 2010 I am delighted to introduce this review of an impressive 12 months of sport for Cambridge students. Cambridge is justly proud of its scholar-athletes whose excellence in the sporting arena so often goes hand in hand with academic excellence. Many will go on to compete at the highest international levels, and indeed some already do. With our eyes now on the 2012 London Olympics, our record of sporting achievement presents many opportunities for our students and alumni. I wish you a successful sporting year ahead.

  • 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.
