WELCOME TO THE SNOW POLO ST. MORITZ TOUCH Allegra and welcome back to the unique natural arena that is the frozen Lake St. Moritz! Here, the majestically beautiful nature of the Engadine has shown us that regardless of where we come from, we all share the basic human instinct and desire to bond with others. For all the exciting changes that technology has brought us, what remains unchanged is that we are all wired to connect. Bringing people together from all four corners of the world is what we have been doing year after year, since 1985! Beyond being a celebration of the sport of polo at its best, the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz is indeed a celebration of friendship and cross-cultural exchange. A passion for hospitality and a strong desire to connect with our guests is ingrained in our team of over 100 professionals and volunteers that make this event happen. We very much hope that the moments we share together in this fantastic natural paradise – indulging in watching the superb polo as much as the social events off the field – will remind us in the best possible way that we all are not scripted, not programmed, but simply human.

  • 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.
