Following the London Olympics, I had considered the Commonwealth Games as something missable, but that would have been a mistake.
British teams are doing brilliantly.
With the competitions nearly over...
England tops the table with 48 gold medals
Scotland is 4th with 17 golds (better than England per capita)
Wales is 12th with 4 golds
Northern Ireland has no golds yet.
Of course, with team GB coming third in the Olympic medals table, the UK teams should have done well with the USA and China not being eligible. Nevertheless, credit where it's due.
With all the disappointing sporting news this year, this week has been an oasis of light.
