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

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)

But they have added triathlon mixed relay & women's boxing to the program

A bit surprised to see women's boxing added

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

Na, wasn't aware of that, shows you how observant I am :)

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.
