CWG

There are serious doubts now over whether the next Commonwealth Games (CWG), scheduled for 2026, will take place. This comes after Australia's Gold Coast on Monday ruled itself out of hosting the quadrennial multi-sport event. 

It bears noting that Gold Coast is the second potential Australian host of the 2026 Games to have "dropped the baton" on the event after Victoria earlier pulled the plug on it.

The Commonwealth Games Federation, organisers of the mega event, now say they may have to postpone or even cancel the next instalment of the Games, BBC reports.
