  • 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.

Hall of Fame 1 INTRODUCTION The scottishathletics Hall of Fame was launched at the Track and Field Championships in August 2005. Olympic gold medallists Allan Wells and Eric Liddell were the inaugural inductees to the scottishathletics Hall of Fame. Wells, the 1980 Olympic 100 metres gold medallist, was there in person to accept the award, as was Patricia Russell, the daughter of Liddell, whose triumph in the 400 metres at the 1924 Olympic Games was an inspiration behind the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire. The legendary duo were nominated by a specially-appointed panel consisting of Andy Vince, Joan Watt and Bill Walker of scottishathletics, Mark Hollinshead, Managing Director of Sunday Mail and an on-line poll conducted via the scottishathletics website. The on-line poll resulted in the following votes: 31% voting for Allan Wells, 24% for Eric Liddell and 19% for Liz McColgan. Liz was inducted into the Hall of Fame the following year, along with the Olympic gold medallist Wyndham Halswelle.

After a week of acclimatization and training, our athletes are ready to put their best bowl forward and take on the top bowlers in the world. Week one will feature the women playing singles and fours, while the men play pairs and triples. Kelly McKerihen (Toronto, ON) will represent Canada in the singles and after months of showing great success on the greens in the Southern Hemisphere, McKerihen is ready to compete. The women’s fours team represents a powerhouse of international experience with Leanne Chinery (Victoria, BC), Shirley Fitzpatrick-Wong (Winnipeg, MB) and Jackie Foster (Lower Sackville, NS). Rookie lead Pricilla Westlake (Delta, BC) may be new to international team play at this level, but the team is looking to capitalize on her recent successes at the 2016 World Indoor Cup and North American Challenge. “Even though New Zealand is now my home, I will always be a proud Canadian. I consider it a great honour to be able to wear the Maple Leaf and represent Canada to the best of my abilities” stated Chinery. On the men’s side, Ryan Bester (Hanover, ON) and Steven Santana (North Vancouver, BC) will be a heavy favourite in the pairs. These two are looking to continue the momentum from their gold medal win at the 2015 Asia Pacific Championships.

  • The Royal Society of Edinburgh Adam Smith Prize Lecture 2016 Glasgow
    The Royal Society of Edinburgh Adam Smith Prize Lecture 2016 Glasgow and Scotland's Gold Medal Moment: The Chairman's Perspective Rt Hon The Lord Smith of Kelvin KT HonFRSE Chairman, Green Investment Bank; IMI; Forth Ports; Clyde Gateway, Chancellor of the University of Strathclyde Monday 7 March 2016 Report by Steve Farrar On accepting the Adam Smith Prize, Lord Smith noted that the great economist after whom the Prize is named had defined the true essence and purpose of national, personal and social wealth. As well as defining the worth of the free market, Adam Smith had made the first real attempt to define the value to individual citizens, as well as to nations, of investing and actively sustaining a good society. Echoing such concepts, Lord Smith's Prize Lecture focused on the social and civic good that the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games brought and continues to bring to Glasgow, to Scotland and to the Commonwealth. Lord Smith observed that the summer of 2014 changed Scotland. “Everyone who encountered the Games also experienced that special magic,” he said. That this great sporting spectacle was staged in Glasgow had personal relevance to Lord Smith: “Cut me through and I'm 100% proud Glaswegian and I'm convinced no other city in the world could have or would have created that extraordinary welcome.” The Games were held over 11 days, with 4,500 athletes from 71 nations competing for 261 gold medals in 17 sports. There was also a cultural programme that spanned Scotland, and the Queen's Baton Relay. Lord Smith himself was an official baton bearer through his childhood streets of Maryhill and was especially proud to have carried it to Firhill, home of Partick Thistle FC.
