My New knowledge of the Commonwealth Games are:

  The Commonwealth Games are held every four years. The first event was held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930. The games were described as the third largest multi-sport event in the  world. In 1930 to 1950 the games were known as British Empire Games. In 1978 the name of the event was changed to Commonwealth Games.

The next games will be held in Gold Coast, Australia.
