History of the Games

A sporting competition bringing together the members ofthe British Empire was first proposed by the John Astley Cooperin 1891, when he wrote an article in The Times suggesting a "Pan-Britannic-Pan-Anglican Contest and Festival every four years as ameans of increasing goodwill and good understanding of theBritish Empire". The John Astley Cooper Committees worldwide(e.g. Australia) helped Pierre de Coubertin to get hisinternational Olympic Games off the ground fast.In 1911,

the Festival of the Empire was held at The Crystal Palace inLondon to celebrate the coronation of King George V . As part ofthe festival, an Inter-Empire Championships was held in whichteams from Australia, Canada, South Africa, and the UnitedKingdom competed in events such as boxing, wrestling,swimming, and athletics.In 1928, Melville Marks Robinson of Canada was asked toorganise the first British Empire Games; these were held in 1930,in Hamilton, Ontario , and women competed in the swimmingevents only. From 1934, women also competed in some athleticsevents.The first Commonwealth Paraplegic Games were held alongsidethe Commonwealth Games from 1962 to 1974. Athletes with adisability were then first included in exhibition events at the 1994Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia , and, at the2002 Commonwealth Games, they were included as full membersof their national teams, making them the first fully inclusiveinternational multi-sport games. This meant that results wereincluded in the medal count.The Empire Games flag was donated in 1931 by the BritishEmpire Games Association of Canada. The year and location ofsubsequent games were added until the 1950 games.

2010 Indian

Commonwealth GamesOrganising committee

The organisation of CWG 2010 was beset by delays: in January 2010, theIndian Olympic Association vice-chairman Raja Randhir Singh expressed

concern that Delhi was not up to speed in forming and organising its gamescommittee and, following a 2009 Indian Government report showing two-thirds of venues were behind schedule, Commonwealth GamesFederation president Mike Fennell stated that the slow progress ofpreparations represented a serious risk to the event. Singh also called for arevamp of the games' organising committees: Jarnail Singh, a formerSecretary of the Government of India, was appointed as the chief executiveofficer and Indian Olympic Association presiden tSuresh Kalmadi wasappointed as head of the committee. In spite of delays and the corruptioncases levied on the organisors, commentators stated that they wereconfident that India will successfully host the games and do so on time.

At the launch of the Queen's Baton Relay in October 2009, the BusinessClub of India (BCI) was formed through the partnership of the organisingcommittee, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Federation ofIndian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI). The BCI was formedto both market the Games and promote Indian business interestsinternationally.

Legacy

One of the aims of hosting the Commonwealth Games was to build world-class athletics infrastructure within the country, expose audiences to top-level non-cricket competition and encourage the youth to "Come out andplay" (the official theme of the games). Building a sporting culture that looksbeyond cricket is seen as an important task for a country which won its firstever individual Olympic gold medal in Beijing 2008 , despite having theworld's second-largest population.Sebastian Coe , former Olympic gold medalist and chairman of the 2012Summer Olympics Organising Committee , was at the stadium during the

4x400m women's relay and described the audience's cheers for the racersas "potentially the moment that could change the course of athletics in Asia, the moment that could inspire thousands of people who'd never evenseen an athletics track before to get involved... To build a truly globalcapacity in sport, you have to take it round the world out of your ownbackyard. That means taking risks and facing challenges, but it has to bedone."

Glasgow city centre.

That left Abuja and Glasgow as the remaining bidders, with Abuja seen asa likely favourite due to the basis of its campaign that an African nation hasnever before hosted the Commonwealth Games. The deadline for formalsubmission of bids to the Commonwealth Games Federation, in the form ofa Candidate City File, was set for May 2007. Both bids were highlyrecommended, though Glasgow's bid team had made use of extensivebenchmarking against the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester andthe 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and as a result, its bid wasdeemed technically superior according to the CGF Evaluation Report thatwas released in September 2007. The Commonwealth Games EvaluationCommission concluded that: "Glasgow has shown it has the ability to stagethe 2014 Commonwealth Games to a standard which would continue toenhance the image and prestige of the Games." This put Glasgow ahead interms of the technical comprehensiveness of its bid.

The final decision on the host city of the 2014 Commonwealth Games washeld in Colombo , Sri Lanka on 9 November 2007 at the CommonwealthGames Federation General Assembly, attended by all71 Commonwealth Games member associations. Each bid city made apresentation to the General Assembly, the order of which was determined

by drawing lots. Glasgow's delegation was led by Louise Martin, chair ofthe Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland, First Minister AlexSalmond , athlete Jamie Quarry and Leader of Glasgow City Council StevenPurcell . The presentation also included a promotional film narrated by SeanConnery . Abuja's delegation was led by General Yakubu Gowon , head ofthe Abuja 2014 Commonwealth Games bid team.
