Last post by Lods -Yep, the Commonwealth games have slipped in a lot of sports in terms of prestige, but Sprinting is probably not one of those.
Without looking at the World 100/200 Lists I suspect if you took out the USA, athletes, most of the rest of the top 20 or so would be Commonwealth competitors
Jamaica and other Caribbean countries, South Africa, UK , Canada, Western African etc
The 100/200 metre finals at the Comm games will be a pretty good and fast race.
Gout is a world u/20 silver medallist in the 200 at the last championships.
