If Western Australia was it’s own country, we would have just barely got pipped for 3rd by Canada.

If Victoria was its own country it would have promised to have the best games ever and then decided not to show up.

Much lols.

So why was table tennis not a part of this “commonwealth” games?

To c&p my answer from earlier…

Melbourne’s withdrawal from hosting left the committee with limited options. Glasgow agreed to take it on, but their conditions were: 10 sports only, we aren’t building any new facilities, and we are not putting any govt money in, take it or leave it.

Some of the regulars dropped were: wrestlin’, hockey, table tennis, triathlon, badminton, rugby 7s, squash, mountain bike, rhythmic gymnastics. (Artistic gymnastics events were still in.)
