[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 661097, member: 40658"] This! I thoroughly enjoyed this Commonwealth Games, and it was actually nice to see more of a competitiveness, due to the absence of the big hitters like China & USA. for instance, in the swimming there were a bunch of great results with a whole lot of nailbiting events. With the absence of the likes of Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, the events were more edge of the seat stuff, and even brought some surprize results. Also, I was amazed that South Africa won a gold medal for JUDO!! I mean, when this event is during the olympics, it's usually just asian nations picking up the medals. The same can be said about wrestling, where Nigeria had a very strong coningent if this was the olympics, I'm sure Russia, Ukraine or Romania would've ruled the roost. The CG IMHO was very well managed by the Scots. there weren't any delays, or mix ups that I saw. And you could just see from the competitors that they all had a blast. I often saw competitors from different countries standing side by side, having a laugh. [/QUOTE]
