Dina Asher-Smith after winning the Women’s 100m during the Birmingham Diamond League
Tickets for the Commonwealth Games 2022 are selling fast with Birmingham set to host this summer’s championships.
With such a variety of sports and action all day across 11 days, there is something for everybody.
After the Games in Gold Coast four years ago, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will be keen to thrive given the home support available and reduced travel for the home nations.
Australia topped the medal table last time out as hosts and landed 80 gold medals, England were second with 45 golds, India came third with 26 and Canada and New Zealand took home 15 each.
The Commonwealth Games lands in the middle of a hectic summer for athletics, with the World Championships finishing the week before and the European Championships to follow.
