“The timing could not be better”, continued President Bridgewater,  “as we are less than 3 months out from the staging of the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games (July-August 8th 2022), and, one week since the celebration of International Women’s Day. The Commonwealth Games Family could celebrate Commonwealth Day 2022 proud of its commitment to gender equality by virtue of the parity in male and female participation at the Games and the allocation of medal events across genders; by vurtue of its epoch-defining policy position regarding athletes’ advocacy at the podium and during Games time; by virtue of its administrative, organizational and leadership performance to arrive at the stage it is with regards to the hosting of the 2022 Birmingham Games, despite the challenges posed by Covid, the packed sports calendar and more latterly, the Russian-Ukranian Crisis”.
