Another Commonwealth edition with ever increasing intense competition among Commonwealth nations including big guns like Australia, Canada, England and rising countries like India.

Athletes from 70 countries will participate in 275 events in 18 sports.

Gold Coast won more votes than Hambantota, Sri Lanka to win the hosting rights. An Australian city will host the event for 5th time and the event will be held from 4th to 15th April.

In 2014 at Glasgow, England topped the medals table with 58 gold medals followed by Australia and Canada. This time Australia will look to reclaim the top spot and it would be interesting to track countries like India and Scotland which have also done well in past editions.
