Barring injury Valerie Adams should have little trouble winning her third consecutive Commonwealth Games shot put gold medal

Likely won't be competing but Valerie Adams has voiced her concern about the prospect of her sport being dropped from the Olympic Games. Shot put is one of five sports that may be cut from the Games after 2020, with the International Olympic Committee wanting to modernise and update the event. Will be interesting to see to what degree the Commonwealth Games Federation follows suit. |

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) |
