>opening ceremony RIGHT NOW>nobody cares as it's stripped down since Victoria in Australia backed out and it isn't even on the BBC in the UKAbsolute joke and possibly the end of the Commonwealth Games/Empire Games after all these years
>>157097250I just tuned in and there's some black woman rapping, I don't think I enjoy commonwealth culture very much. What events should I look forward to?
Got the darts on, the Commonwealth's real sport
I saw it was on and checked /sp/ for a thread, and I was devastated that there wasn't one. I even fired up my laptop to create a thread, but you have just beaten me to it.I liked seeing the Falkland Islands in the opening ceremony. That's the sort of thing that /sp/ would enjoy. But it's true that I don't like seeing it on Channel 5 (or, in fact, Channel 5 +1, since I didn't know it was on and missed the start).
I would also like to say, as I would have said in my OP if I had been in time to make a thread, that they should nickname the Commonwealth Games the Soulympics.CAM ON OBSCURE ISLANDS THAT ARE NOT TAX HAVENSSCORE SAM FACKING MEDALS IN BOWLS AND DISABLED THINGS
>>157097250It’s going to be in India in 2030 lol
Channel 5's commentary just went to adverts in the middle of the commentator's sentence. This is harrowing to witness. They should make these the last ever Games, not because I don't like them, but because I do.
>They don't have badminton>But they do have weightliftingOlympics BTFO
>Nauru is renaming itself NaoeroThis is a Twitter/X-tier marketing error
>>157097519Wtf
>>157097250I made a thread about this last night and no one cared ):
>>157097599I would have cared if I'd seen it. But last night, I think I was either baking bread or watching the news. Or masturbating. I live an exciting life. If the thread had lasted till today, I'd have been all over it.
>>157097519>14000 inhabitants>21 km^2>70% of the island is uninhabitable due to phosphate extraction>supremely rich in the 2000s because the price of phosphate spiked, now the resource has run out>government investments for the future didn't pan out + massive corruption and they turned to money laundering and selling passports>after decades of western living standards, life expectancy is now 55 for women, 49 for men (big obesity and cardiac problems)Fascinating and extremely grim place
>>157097250I didn't know they existed until yesterday. Any interesting lore about these games?
>>157097250>Absolute joke and possibly the end of the Commonwealth Games/Empire Games after all these yearsthought this would fade away after straya pulled out due to cost, no real interest either now its relegated to TNTsurprised India have bid to host the next oneits probably still a decent event for athletes preparing for olympics, but having the cost of a big multi sport event is probably too much for most places if they have to build various venuesThey built a lot of stuff in Manchester when they held it which was pretty good, so it's nice if they could still do that in various places around the world, but every cunt is skint now
>>157097726They're like an Olympics for the former British Empire. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all compete as separate countries; Ireland don't compete at all. Many of the countries are tiny tax havens, so you wind up with races between England, the Isle of Man, Bermuda and seriously remote places like Norfolk Island and St Helena.The Commonwealth Games are mainly mentioned nowadays in the context of wondering if they will continue. Most places can't afford or just don't want to host them, so they keep happening in Scotland or Australia. They were in India in 2010, in New Delhi I think, and there was top banter because loads of the athletes got food poisoning and diarrhoea from the fact that India is a filthy shithole. I remember the swimmers would finish their swimming races, and immediately climb out of the pool and run off so they didn't shit themselves on TV.
>>157097828It honestly doesn't sound too bad. Can't be any worse than the Olympics, at least.
>>157097686Is Nauru the place that started making novelty coins their official currency so they could sell extra coins to coin collectors around the world?
>>157097726I remember Usain Bolt calling them kind of lame once.
>>157097883How are they worse than the diamond league or WAC
>>157097763You'd think the Cayman Islands wouldn't be skint, but maybe they just don't have that sporting passion that the UK has had to display three times in 12 years now.
https://www.glasgow2026.com/sports/bowls>In a Games first, Glasgow 2026 will see both Bowls and Para Bowls contested indoors, offering a unique ‘intimate’ experience for bowlers and spectators alike. This is good. I watched the lawn bowls at the last Commonwealth Games, and it is much less enjoyable than indoor bowls.
>>157097250Are we in these?
>>157098108Yeah I saw your team in the entrance ceremony.
I WANNA POST LIKE COMMON ANONSI WANNA DO WHATEVER COMMON ANONS DO
>>157098108Yes!www.glasgow2026.com/teams/south-africa
The Falkland Islands got the biggest cheer when they entered.
Poor Finnie isn't mentioned anywhere on the actual website. But she could never compete with based Clyde.
>>157098124only a few days between sporting eventshope you got some rest anon
Big respect to Glasgow 2026 for stepping in at the last minute, to host a tournament that's in massive trouble, on a shoestring budget, and not having any vile AI slop in their opening ceremony. The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics could learn a lot from Glasgow.
Why are the Australians in the lead on the all time medals table?
>>157098444I was looking out for Pitcairn Island during the opening ceremony, but it turns out the island has a population of 35 people and none of them are athletes so they aren't in attendance. Australia are bigger than that and that's probably why they're higher up the medal table.
>>157098478Sure but it is a little curious that they are in the lead, considering that they have roughly half the population size of England. Now to be fair if you add all of the British nations together you end up on top on the all time medal table, which isn’t surprising given that GB is nummer four on the all time Olympic table.
>>157098108I remember us medaling in lawn bowls back in the 2000's so I assume so.
Victoria is broke
>>157098444To remind them
Kind of ironic they reverted britanons to GB flags right before the comm games begin>>157098444You already know why.
>>157099383Thanks Dan!

>>157103012I'm assuming it's too much to expect TVNZ to be broadcasting anything FTA?
>>157103046Yes it would, because it's on 3Now
>>157103012nice, wont be watching but hope we win
>>157103056disgusting
>>157102703At least it's free to air on TV3
Sexo Vault is on at 6:08am next Saturday morning.
>>157103163the pole vault and volleyball girls are always so hot
Let's watch for their athletic prowess, not to perv haha
>>157097250At least the Victorians had the sense to can this shit before it happened unlike our upcoming olympic disastert. Queenslander
It's a shame what happened to the Commonwealth kino. After the last one it seems just no one cares for comfy sport kino anymore...
>>157097250They hosted it in Glasgow and the absolute state of that city at the moment probably is a perfect metaphor for these games. Completely run down and nobody gives a shit.
>>157097443oh great no easy medal for us this time
>>157104392I care, I love the Commonwealth Games even if the bastard Aussies always win. There wasn't much advertising for this one, I don't think many people even knew it was on.
>>157104392the world got more leftist and anti colonialist. half the countries in the commonwealth games are claiming britain owes them reparations gibs.
>midget weightlifting on day 1 the olympics would never
>>157106533They should have midget boxing
>>157106580Screaming at my own joke. It sounds like a sport where you just beat the shit out of midgets, some normal height bloke just battering a midget and judges score him on it.
>>157103046Channel 5 last night had the opening ceremony, and at the end they said, “Join us tomorrow for more action, here on TNT Sports!” So I checked if Channel 5 would be simulcasting the live coverage as well. They are not. Right now, I think Channel 5 is showing Vanessa Feltz’s phone-in show, which I promise is grimmer than you are imagining.
no babes?
>>157106602For me, it’s a timed event where athletes compete to be the fastest to force an angry midget into a cardboard box.
>>157106679Not yet
>belinga manga
OP is right. This event was DOA. No one is paying to watch this
>>157097250>it isn't even on the BBC in the UKThey're pushing for either a general tax or casting their net over anyone that accesses video on demand across the board
>>157106771Do India and Bangladesh and places love the Commonwealth Games, or is it seen as a humiliation ritual there?
>>157106771>HBO pay tonnes to get the rights to show it>nobody signs up to watch itWhat's the fucking point? I'd never even heard of HBO, and though I've paid and cancelled all that's on HBO Max is American slop.
How can so many midgets that are somehow into weightlifting exist
We just won a gold in the midgelift
Dead event. Dead thread. SAD
>>157106830you can get hbo max with a NOW TV entertainment membership which costs £6.99, or like £2 if you try to cancel it and they shovel offers at you
>jaspreetisn't that a bloke's name?
>>157097250well britanon, where can I even watch it?
>>1571077607plus with an aus vpn

>>157108689Kek. That's what the Commonwealth is all about, isn't it?

I'll watch the judo, boxing and weightlidting>subscribe to TNTor perhaps I won't>>157097828It's going to india again after this
>>157112777You only need hbo max or apparently now tv
Fucking aussies and swimming
>>157107362>>157107019kino
>>157113097You ready for our statpadding?
bruh the thread can't even stay alive lol
why arent they doing them in hampden again?if theyre worried about attendance they can just let people in for free couldnt they
>>157117143>if theyre worried about attendance they can just let people in for free couldnt theyIf justice existed then the Victorian government would be paying for everyone's tickets. If I were God I'd run Daniel Andrews through a meat grinder but not let him die.
>>157117193apparently the athletics is going to be at some rugby teams ground with temporary seating kek
>>157106381>claiming britain owes them reparations gibs.We're one of those countries but I love the Commonwealth Games.
Go India!
>>157118625I went india mum m8
>>157117143they had to build a false floor raised like 4m and cannibalising the first few rows to fit the running track inside hampden. budget (very kindly provided by the cucktorian taxpayer) wasn't there for this again.
we should be competing as our individual states. hardly fun watching aus beat up on gibraltar, malawi and st lucia
>>157098155is that true? kek
>>157097250>Games to celebrate the power and heritage of the British Empire>French speaking Canadians are winning all the medalsKek, can't make this shit up. The Queen must be rolling in her grave.
>>157119122Yeah most modern athletics requires a real budget to compete, trainers, facilities,specialised diets ..drugs and unlike soccer theres no real world pipeline I doubt theres much push to change any of that, its really a rich country thing in most disciplines.
Why isn't this on the BBC?
>>157119122no we shouldn't and yes it is
>>157119662not wasting money on third-rate athletics when they've barely got a pot to piss in as it is
>>157105932England were on top last time it was in Glasgow.>>157111926They cut Beach Volley for Basketball. Fucking disgusting. And Judo only has three days at the end.>>157119122If you did that you'd just close the microstates out of competing at all but it would at least expose South Australia for having microstate-level athletics on the medal tally.
>>157114265A quarter of the medals at the Commonwealth Games are from swimming normally, you're going to win this one by loads.>>157120176>England were on top last time it was in Glasgow.No we weren't, you came first
>>157119206>wins gold because one of gymnasts diedrigged
>>157102434>A prison island's prison islandWhat kind of crime do you have to commit to get sent there?
>>157120268Say you prefer marmite to vegemite
>>157120250>we>youAnyway England won the most gold in 2014.
>>157120268Being a 3rd worlder (unironically. Our government use these islands -- Christmas Island is the most notorious -- to build detention centres on, to house boat (brown) people (asylum seekers) because they don't want them coming into the country. I say this in present tense, but I don't even know if they're still in operation. People of a certain political persuasion were always kicking up a stink about them, but you don't hear much on that front these days...)
>>157120475I wish we did that here and send all the boat people to Rockall
yes we can sadly report that there has been a HORRIFIC accident at the gymnastics truly a terrible sight there were screams and cries from the audience when this shocking tragedy took place in front of thousands of spectators and HD cameras and of course we, bringing this news to you, saw it all live and saw the replays over and over again in all the gory detail but out of respect to you we won't be showing you any of it we just thought you might like to know yes it would be very insensitive to the family to show it but we've seen it, we can see it on our side of the screen right now writing this but you can't, no it's not for you it would be terribly disrespectful so you won't be seeing it just to be clear, you don't get to see it but we do
this is gonna be the last one isn't it :( no one cares anymore

>>157120850I remember Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games in 1998back then, that was huge for us2002 with Manchester gave the world the Etihad and Manchester Citywhat happened since then bros
>>157121083HES FOLDED IN HALF
>>157120850Probably not. India wants the event and Australia wants an event to compete in because Australia is only allowed limited participation in the Pacific Games.
>>157121104It's mental how much of a difference it makes in the standings when the games are at home, you came 4th in 98
>>157120850It's just this one mate, it's been scaled down and there was barely any advertising as it was all last minute.
>>157121162
Not seen any of this edition nor read much of the thread but here's my take.Its our soft power. The UK should fund this enough to cover any shortfalls at the very least and always be on hand to step in to host whenever no one else wants to. Its unreal that 70 odd countries (or 'countries') that we empire'd are willing to send athletes and join in with sporting spirit. Also this fact rubs it right in Ireland's face.It's money well spent and we should ensure it continues.
>>157121309Politics aside I'm sure the athletes enjoy it as it's a chance to compete and represent their country

>>157121788pre industrial glasgow was kino, it was a bit like pre industrial bristol.there was a huge shipping area and the town hub along the river as youd expect but instead of that just naturally spilling into the countryside and villages, it went straight into thousands of acres of giant palatial estates with ceremonial gardens, fountains etc all owned by shipping magnates and new colonial money who needed a home near their ships.you have to remember that back then the cities like edinburgh and london where essentially just slums that just piled people on top of each other within the historical medieval walls or natural defences, all the new money obviously didnt like that and needed new places to larp as landed gentry, so heading west made sense for them and unlike the actual landed gentry they were larping as they didnt need to really work their land or treat their seat of power as some functioning business hub.these guys were rich because of their international trade elsewhere, instead of being surrounded by farms and serf villages or living in country piles that were the remements of some medieval fortress, everything that was built was just to display decadence and wealth.the town + giant opulent estates right beside them was seen in bristol, plymouth, liverpool and glasgow uniquely, it could only happen before industrialisation when international trade exploded and urban sprawl cannibalising everything hadnt happened yet.

>>157128643The Aussies are really good at swimming in general, at the Olympics too. There are also tonnes of swimming events in both the Olympics and Commonwealth games so they do really well out of it. Why are you knocking around these threads? I saw you moaning about them the other day and yet you're still here.

>>157097726Australia used to care because we win all the swimming but then it became an embarrassing example of financial mismanagement and corruption by the cult leader of australian financial mismanagement and corruption, who was also the face of australian lockdowns. Rather than accept that maybe the guy is an asshole and that we were led down the garden path, Australia has decided to pretend that the commonwealth games do not exist.
is there literally just one feed and you have to watch whatever they're showing or are there multiple options? (hbo max)
>>157129381No, you can watch whatever is going on but there will be a main one with commentary.

Commonwealth Games (everything), Olympics (everything), Winter Olympics (everything), Paralympics (everything), FIFA world cup matches involving Australia and whenever the Australian national teams for most major sports play matches in Australia all need to be free to air by law in Australia.
>>157139134this is a law here until they get offered more money and then it's suddenly not
>>157139141Soccer money did that didn't it? Evil fucking sport.
>>157139134The BBC spent all its money on diversity
>>157139051I’m watchin women’s boxing for free on Tou.TV, my gov subsidized the french platform. Scarlett Delgado just got qualified.Life is goodHopefully Audrey Leduc win her race tomorrow!
>>157139152Can’t they spend it on diversified sport watching?
I live in Glasgow near where they're running a bunch of games-related festive stuff in the Kelvingrove - seemed like they were entertaining the locals well enough at least, attendance seemed decent.
>>157139162No sorry, any form of English pride is considered racist, national pride is only allowed if you're Scottish or Welsh.
>>157139151not really, the biggest football events are still on free to air
>>157139169You should go and watch something, the tickets are reasonably priced

>>157139185It isn't kek, leftists here would set up concentration camps if they could.
>Indian bloke can barely speak English>'Yeah fuck it keep asking him questions'
>>157139177So free to air has to spend more on soccer because it has to fend off pay to watch competitors who can bid without restriction and sports diversity on free to air suffers for it. Sounds like something soccer did. More money and kill competition.

Australia could've won another gold if they took female breaking to the Commonwealth Games. Raygun was the only woman in the Commonwealth to qualify. You're all worse than that. Thankfully Australia is merciful.

>>157140443A ton of sports got cut because the obscenely incompetent Victorian government.

I cannot believe we didn't host this, Victoria has world class sporting facilities and one of the biggest stadiums on the planet in the MCG

I got fired from my job last week, I have kinda just been wandering around in my suit in the city to pass the time every day, dreaming of ways to improve my situation and break the news to everyone. I come home after "work" and my Brazilian girlfriend was sitting in front of the telly, nothing was playing as she was on her phone, advert for the Commonwealth Games popped up so I pressed play as I walked past to give her a kiss. Women's Bowls. I laughed and said, "Ah, the epitome of British athleticism. Enjoy!"I come back a few hours later and she is still watching it, its now the Men's Bowls, but still she is transfixed to the telly watching the tournament. I asked her if she enjoyed it, she responded, "Its very White." I told her its mainly played by >60yos as a way to get them out of the house and that there is a lot of money in this game as they donate their fortunes to the clubs to keep them alive, her eyes lit up. I can see the scams running through her head. I am here for it too. We will end up rich or in gaol. Wish me luck!

>>157153642The cheapest beer is always available in places where old men fraternise. There’s a notorious chain of pubs in this country called Sam Smith’s, where the beer is incredibly cheap but it’s run by a maniac. Phones are banned in there, there’s no music, and they never do quizzes or anything. The mental owner once went into one of his pubs and ordered his favourite food. The staff awkwardly told him they didn’t sell it, because he’d told them to stop selling food there. The owner was so angry he shut the pub permanently on the spot, kicked everyone out and sacked all the staff. But seriously; beer in a Sam Smith’s pub is like £2 a pint.

>>157154749The home ground of the soccer club I used to play for backed up against a group of about a dozen netball courts, and it was like one of two netball grounds in the entire local comp area so every gameday they were packed with netball chicks. There were no fences or anything either so whenever the ball went behind goal line it would encroach into one of the netball games in progress (hilarious). So many whistles too...In hindsight it was actually insane how many people there were packed into that place on a Saturday; makes me nostalgic, even...

Do you guys think the Commonwealth Games would be punched up by formally making CANZUK a reality?
>>157162956Canada isn't even British, it's ten times more likely they join your country than this happening
>>157162956Not really. Broadening the Commonwealth Games to more non-superpowers could. For example merging the Commonwealth Games and Mediterranean Games.On Australia's side our Olympic Committee and surrounding framework were umming and ahhing about participation in the Asian Games for over a decade. Our former Olympic Committee president was a long-term supporter of the idea as were Japan and China but it's the same year as the Commonwealth Games, Australia was hosting them and were perpetually looking to host more as these discussions were happening. Australia wasn't thrilled about going through an honorary medal process where the country wouldn't be officially be on the medal table for a while, the first time Australia was supposed to send athletes to the Asian Summer Games (Australia had already sent athletes to the Asian Winter Games before) was during a covid wave in China so Australia backed out and Australia got a new Olympic Committee president that seems to prefer statpadding.Australia right now seems more committed to the Commonwealth Games than they have in a while even if interest is waning a bit overall.
>>15715914323 of those golds are in swimming, and there are still 21 (twenty one) more gold medals available in itnot ever really gonna be a contest when there are 56 golds available in one discipline and one country is so dominant at it
>>157163245Bowls is the only event on every day. Those are clearly the most important medals.
>>157159143I wonder how they would look if you took out all the pointless swimming medals?
>>157163116The only thing they'll join is the EU.
>>157163275You mean anything that's not freestyle-only? -10 Gold.-11 Gold if you don't want to count the mixed relay which was freestyle-only.
>>157163275exactly the same because there are no pointless swimming medals
swimming is so boring to watch as well, crazy that there are so many events, most of which are completely inefficient ways of moving through water. imagine if there was 100m zigzag and 100m running backwards.cycling and rowing are way more fun to watchaustralians ruined the games by pulling out, they should've been banned for it
>>157163397Breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly are all pointless
>>157163491Not when I'm at your mum's house lol
>>157163537Gottem
The medals have para-sports integrated into the medal count as well. The non-integrated olympics-like gold tally with non-freestyle swimming, mixed team swimming and medley swimming all removed looks like this.Australia 14Canada 6Malaysia 4Nigeria 3Jamaica 2England 2India 1Kenya 1Scotland 1New Zealand 0South Africa 0

Genuinely didnt even know this was on, the fuck its literally just a link on the bbc sports page not even a banner or picture or anything??
>>157163842Why is your countrys sport coverage so shit, we get most of the big sports and events for free
>>157163842didnt even know this ramsay lad existed before this
>>157163842The BBC are barely reporting on it probably because they lost the rights to it
>>157163847bit of what >>157163852 said, no incentive for them besides a news article here and there
>>157163847Putting sport behind a paywall is a fucking plague in this country. Cricket has genuinely died out and people don't give a fuck about it any more due to Sky buying all the rights to it in the early 2000s so there's basically no cricket on normal TV.
>>157163847All we'll be left with soon will be all the football world cup games on free-to-air, and the Euros. That's about it. Even the BBC has restricted access to the Olympics and TNT has bought a lot of the rights.
>>157163853>>157163865>>157163884I’m glad our free to air channels have kept themselves more relevant and ingrained in society (for the sports), is there anti-syphoning laws there? Or the stations just don’t want to pay anymore

>>157163172> Australia right now seems more committed to the Commonwealth Games than they have in a while even if interest is waning a bit overall.I’m not surprised you’re loving it. It’s basically Australiawinslol at this point. Glasgow should bid to host it again and then pull out, and you’d jump right back in as an emergency host because there’s a lot of political soft power when you win every medal at something. It’s the best way we have to make you repay the favour.

>>157163803Well, have you ever seen The Human Centipede?
>>157163658Based spastics.
>>157163847If it’s worth watching, it’s worth privatising and not letting people watch it. I still think there must be exciting sports out there that could be put on TV for free, but nobody at the TV companies seems interested. There’s no way curling or wheelchair basketball can command high fees, but all we get for free is FA Cup roflstompings and women’s football. There’s some hotel-TV news channel that shows golf, but even that isn’t reliable.
>>157163892I don’t know what that means, but we do have “heritage events”, which are sporting events that legally have to be free-to-air. The FA Cup Final is one, but the Carabao Cup isn’t. I think England football’s home matches all are, but away matches can be paywalled. You’d need a TV expert to explain all of them.
>>157164088There's quite a bit of rugby on TV for free isn't there?
