The Commonwealth Games, often referred to as the Friendly Games, are a quadrennial international multi-sport event between athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations. The event was first held in 1930, and has run sequentially every four years, with the exception of 1942 and 1946 (cancelled due to World War II). The Games were called the British Empire Games from 1930 to 1950, the British Empire and Commonwealth Games from 1954 to 1966, and the British Commonwealth Games from 1970 to 1974. Athletes with disabilities have been included as full members of their national teams since 2002, making the Commonwealth Games the first fully inclusive international multi-sport event. In 2018, the Games became the first global multi-sport event to feature the same number of men’s and women’s medals, and four years later they are the first global multi-sport event to feature more women than men.
