Commonwealth Games

OK, maybe a bit late, but the 2006 Commonwealth Games are wrapping up. These are basically summer olympics for former British colonies, which still have a cooperative agreement. 75 countries participating! A lot of Pacific and Carribbean islands, and nations in Africa and Southeast Asia. And Canada, eh. Latest news, New Zealand won the Silver medal for both Men's and Women's basketball (behind Australia and ahead of England - the 3 countries winning the same medals for both genders. Odd.) Auz is way ahead in the medal count.
