Commonwealth games

I think the Commonwealth games are:
A Series of sports that that the countries in the commonwealth compete in a way it is kind of like an Olympics. I think it is a good idea to have them because if you are the best at something in your country it is good to have some healthy competition not just vs the athletes you have already defeated or tied with  

Other facts I know are:
Only countries in the commonwealth can Participate in the games.
The Commonwealth is all of the countries that support the the queen of England (Queen Elizabeth the 2nd)
You would have to work very hard to get there
It is a very complex thing very difficult
