Description

The Commonwealth Games started in 1930 called the British Empire games. After a couple of name changes, they were called the Commonwealth Games in 1978. Like the Olympic Games, they are held every four years and feature teams from all over the world competing in different sports and athletics events. Unlike the Olympics, teams at the Commonwealth Games must be part of a special group of countries called the Commonwealth of Nations (Commonwealth).
