YOUR GAMES YOUR WAY

Bringing you the Birmingham 2022 Commonweal­th Games in more ways than ever

-

If there is one thing Australian­s love it is watching our most talented athletes competing against the best on the world stage. We saw it last year with the incredible response to our national team’s performanc­e at the Covid-delayed Tokyo Olympics – and we are about to repeat the performanc­e at the Commonweal­th Games in Birmingham.

Australia is sending its largest and most competitiv­e teams ever assembled for an away Commonweal­th Games.

The contingent of athletes of all ages represent the best of what this country has to offer. They are offthe-charts talented, humble and they couldn’t be more proud to be wearing the national uniform. From July 28 to August 9, more than 5000 athletes and paraathlet­es from 72 countries and territorie­s in the Commonweal­th will compete for 1875 medals.

It is going to be quite an event and one that could not come at a better time for a sports-loving community which, unfortunat­ely, is still coping with the tail of the Covid pandemic.

What better way to take our minds off the lasting impacts of Covid than to watch athletes who are the best at what they do compete for internatio­nal glory?

To make sure you don’t miss out on any of the action, we are taking a team of 17 of our best journalist­s, digital experts and photograph­ers to Birmingham, our largest-ever Commonweal­th Games contingent to go overseas.

We will provide around-theclock coverage on all of our digital platforms, as well as special lift-outs in our printed newspapers.

And for the first time, we will produce The Games – a special digital print edition exclusive to our subscriber­s. The Games will drop on our digital apps early in the mornings every day of the event to bring you the latest news, results, interviews and imagery from overnight.

We will also have regular expert commentary from the likes of champion swimmer James Magnussen and a full highlights guide to make sure you don’t miss any of the action.

The only thing left to do is to sit back and enjoy the

Aussie gold rush.
