The Commonwealth Games

Here is my writing about The commonwealth Games I hope you enjoyed.
Do you know what sports are in the Commonwealth Games and what it is? The Commonwealth is just like the Olympics. The countries that are allowed in Commonwealth games are the ones that used to be under Britain. It is every 4 years. On the 23rd of july 2014 Commonwealth games is held in Scotland, Glasgow, The Commonwealth started 1930 in Canada, Hamilton, 400 athletes from 11 countries played 6 sports. It has all kinds of ages from 17 and older. The sports that are in the Commonwealth are The rugby sevens, Judo, Boxing, Table tennis and more. The sport that I am going to talk about first is squash. Squash is a game that involves a bat and a ball. There is wall that you have to hit the ball onto. You are allowed one hit then it is the next person’s turn. The aim of the game is to not get the ball out and not to hit the other player with your bat. In 1946 The Commonwealth was closed due to the WW2 and taken place every four years from then. Here are some of the countries that are in it New Zealand, Samoa, Fiji, Niue, Canada, Wales, Australia, Tonga, India, Scotland, England, Cook Islands, Pakistan and more. 6,500 people played 17 sports in a 11 days. This year England won the games this year they got 58 Gold, 59 Silver and 57 Bronze in a total of 174. I think that the Commonwealth games is amazing this year. Cause it had lots of amazing sports and so much people from different countries. I hope you enjoyed reading my writing.
