Richardson sensationally defected from Australia to Great Britain soon after winning three medals at the Paris Olympics.
Update
Good. Can I have a $1 million dollar bonus for being me? 
She can afford it.
It does seem very odd this time around.
Lol
Odd take, given they clearly didn’t have a choice where to host it.
Don’t know how accurate this is
Maybe for the good of the games, Australia should compete as individual states pic.twitter.com/rcZKd7wmiE

This is that usual QLD propaganda based on where athletes are based: swimming of course gets a billion by default.
Shame about medalists in other sports.

We continue to hold onto the top of the medal table with a total of 51 gold, 24 silver, and 35 bronze medals giving us a total of 110 medals.
Oh please. How else would you do it apart from which State people live in? The fact is Queensland produces a disproportionate number of Games medals due to a variety of reasons - both the number born in QLD or who move there. Most of the swim stars who move to QLD for better training opportunities move there as kids or teenagers to train. Some from NSW in particular just seem to get bent out of shape about it.
Rose Davies is the first Australian woman to win 5000m and 10000m at the same Commonwealth Games.
You know what the Commonwealth Games needs?
Darts.
Darts are popular in Britain, Canada, Australia and NZ. Not sure if it is the same in other parts of the Commonwealth.
Tbf, with the number of countries the pro darts tour covers these days its basically global now.
