The history of a modern sporting spectacular John Landy (No.300) and Roger Bannister (No.329) compete in the Miracle Mile race during the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Vancouver. From 4-15 April, 2018, the Gold Coast will create its own slice of history when it hosts the 21st Commonwealth Games. It will be the fifth time Australia has staged the Commonwealth Games following Sydney (1938), Perth (1962), Brisbane (1982) and Melbourne (2006) making Australia the nation that has hosted the most number of Games. Significantly, GC2018 will mark the first time a Commonwealth Games will be held in a regional Australian city. The Commonwealth Games have been conducted by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) every four years (except for 1942 and 1946 due to World War II) since the first British Empire Games were held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930. There have been many magical moments witnessed at the Commonwealth Games over the years, including the famous Miracle Mile at the 1954 Games when England s Roger Bannister and Australian John Landy created history by both breaking the four-minute mile in a race. A key player in the staging of the first Commonwealth Games was sports reporter and administrator Melville Marks (Bobby) Robinson, who helped bring to reality what Commonwealth nations had been dreaming about for three decades. Since then, the Games have grown from an event featuring 11 countries and 400 athletes to a modern sporting spectacular that includes 70 nations and territories and over 6,600 athletes and team officials. Important change has also been made in gender equity over the years, with GC2018 set to mark the first time in the history of a major multisport Games that there will be an equal number of medal events for men and women. The size and format of the sporting competition has also grown over the years. Up until the late 1990s, there had only ever been single competition sports before the introduction of hockey (men and women), netball (women) and Rugby Sevens (men) at the Kuala Lumpur Games in 1998. It wasn t until eight years later at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006 that basketball was introduced. GC2018 will see the first ever Beach Volleyball competition a fitting inclusion for the globally renowned beachside destination. But the Commonwealth Games are more than just about competition. They aim to unite the Commonwealth family through sport. The Games reflect the CGF s core values of humanity, equality and destiny. They bring together members of the Commonwealth of nations to compete on a level playing field in a spirit of friendship and fair play often referred to as the friendly games. 8 9

Largest integrated Para-Sport program GC2018 is going for gold in its quest to deliver an inclusive Games and will proudly host the largest integrated Para-Sport program in Commonwealth Games history. GC2018 will set a new Commonwealth Games record by hosting up to 300 paraathletes and 38 medal events across seven sports an increase of 45 per cent more athletes and 73 per cent more medals compared to the parasport competition staged at the last Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014. The GC2018 Para-Sport program has been developed by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) with the International Paralympic Committee and other relevant international sport federations to showcase the best para-sport in the Commonwealth. Athletics, Swimming, Lawn Bowls, Para Powerlifting, Track Cycling, Table Tennis and Para Triathlon will all be contested during the 4-15 April, 2018 event. The swimming and athletics para programs will double in size from previous Games, while Para-triathlon will make its anticipated debut at GC2018, building on the great success of the able-bodied Triathlon competition in Glasgow 2014 and the sport s increasing profile across the globe. The first ever wheelchair marathon (T54) at a Commonwealth Games will take the inspirational thrill of para-sport competition to the streets and communities of the Gold Coast. 10 11
