ngl watching the commonwealth games isn’t as fun bc australia dominates it

✍️ In October 2021, The Queen signed a message for the #B2022 Commonwealth Games Baton Relay. After a 90,000 mile journey around the Commonwealth, tonight Her Majesty’s message will be revealed at the @birminghamcg22 Opening Ceremony.

I don't think weightlifting has a fandom on tumblr but shoutout to the fellow Emily Campbell stans screaming at the telly rn

I fucking hate the English commentators because Scotland or wales or could get a perfect score and they’d still be like “oo, an okay score for those teams but ENGLAND!!! LOOK AT OUR TEAM MAKING GB PROUD!” As if there isn’t three other fucking nations in Britain.

There’s a sign in the crowd saying ‘Guscoth for Prime Minister.’

And I can definitely get behind that.

the fact that the para sports at the commonwealth games are happening at the same time as the abled commonwealth games has prompted my dad to be, oh what’s that?? more ableist?? yup!!

Omg fuck the sexism in athlete uniforms. Men's triathlon unitards have knee-length shorts as standard. Women's triathlon unitards might have knee-length legs, might be legless, depending on the country. How fucking uncomfortable is it to swim for 750m, then cycle 20km and run 5km in a wet one-piece bathing suit, without anything on the legs??

just saw a 17 year old in the commonwealth games like that is a child
