Probably having a bad day watching the Commonwealth Games eh? Australia: 57 golds, 51 silvers, 45 bronzes. Canada: 14 golds, 22 silvers, 17 bronzes.

We only send our 3rd rate athletes to the meaningless
"Commonwealth" (which in itself is meaningless) games.
A better indicator would be how well Australia and Canada did
respectively at the recent Winter Olympic games, where I think
we kicked your skanky arses.

STRUTH! Bloody lying commentators who said Canadian athletes at the Commonwealth Games had competed at world championships, Olympic Games etc We now know they only send their drongoes and galahs to the Commonwealth Games.

And exactly how amy of the Winter Olympic events had their origin in the Ancient Olympics?

Running, Swimming, Javelin, Shot Put. Wrestling, Weightlifting - warrior skills
Curling - Ice hockey arena janitor skills

I suspect that, medals winners or not, every one of your commonwealth games athletes are absolutely first rate. Looks to me like the support they get from other Canadians is what's third rate based on your comment.

Sure the Commonwealth games are fairly insignificant on the world stage but I doubt that there is one single Australian that would deride our athletes as you have done yours.
