Commonwealth Games-"Is anybody out there"

Cut back in events after the Melbourne pull out
Number of sports being contested cut in half

The once great Commonwealth Games is a shadow of it's former self.
Many athletes prioritising other competitions.
Canadian World record holder Summer McIntosh is skipping the CG to concentrate on the Pan Pacs
I suspect other Canadian swimmers may be doing the same.
A lot of teams have restricted their numbers.

The future looks bleak.

Same old commentary only barracking for Aussies. Great achievement beating Tonga in the netball. 3 on 3 basketball - what the...

For that, I will watch if it is on. Yes, the future is bleak, maybe that's why Melbourne was the only bidder and then had to pay to move it on.
