Commonwealth Games Medals |
Medal counts in the commonwealth games tend to be greatly slanted towards the largest, industrialized nations such as Australia, England and Canada, making the games somewhat one-sided. The limited achievement of the smaller nations are a source of national pride, and give them a feeling of being part of the greater Commonwealth group. Out of the earlier 17 Games, Australia has lead the medal count 10 times, with England 6 times and Canada 1 time.
