This time around, no walking events in athletics, synchronised swimming or Greco-Roman wrestling
We normally do okay in the walking but not much success in the other two sports (from memory)

Women's Boxing was added to the 2012 Summer Olympics
Was well received
Adding to the Commonwealth Games looks a natural progression

Sally Pearson would have to be a strong Gold hope. Ran 2nd in March this year, World Indoor Championships, 60 metres hurdles, so still has it.
