Abstract

I don’t know about you, but as I sat in Coventry watching the Closing Ceremony of Birmingham 2022, I could almost feel the collective sigh of relief and the enormous sense of pride emanating from Birmingham as the UK’s second city passed the baton for the 23rd Commonwealth Games on to the State of Victoria. Birmingham had delivered a truly global celebration of sport, with let’s not forget just 5 years of planning, ever since Durban was stripped of the right to host the Games due to a series of missed deadlines and financial problems.
