EXCITEMENT BUILDS

Each week we will give you three reasons to get excited about GC2018:

1. To witness iconic moments: Remember when a 21-year-old Cathy Freeman paraded with the Aboriginal and Australian flags after winning the 200m final at the 1994 Commonwealth Games.

2. To celebrate women in sport: For the first time at a major multi-sports Games, there will be an equal number of medal events for men and women.

3. To marvel at the RPMs: World-class table tennis players can put up to 5,000 revolutions per minute of spin on a ball.
