very funny position
how they rank countries at the commonwealth games baffles me
did we participate in all the games?
what should be our parametre for success is to weigh the number of games we participated in and compare it to the medals garnered.This would ultimately determine whether we were victors or not.
Canada U.K. ,Australia and the likes that have more participants should also be subjected to the number of their respective participants to the ratio of medals won. This in my own opinion? should form the basis/parametre for toppings at the medal table

to cut the long story short:
winnings at the commonwealth games should be on a country-like individualistic basis instead of commonality basis


I don't even understand why USA don't participate in the Commonwealth games? sucha proud nation. they won't reslect their Colonial masters. i think Zimbabwe has followed suit

congrats to the Nigerian team

nice job team Nigeria...we must learn to build on our successes rather than scrambling to put up a team when it is too late. Salaries, allowances and all bonuses must be duly paid and standard training facilities should be made available. We can top the chart next time if we begin now to work at it. cool cool

All these medals they are sharing at Glasgow. What of two gold medals? You didn't get. What of two silver medals? You were not informed of the sharing too?
Now Queen Elizabeth has invited you come and collect some black medals.......won't you come?

yamiri, thank you, someone don explain already. Twas d double dat confused me cos my idea of double has to do with two things of same nature. I interpreted 200m and 100m as different entities.
