Re: Commonwealth Games
 
OK, the first event in the Commonwealth Games is under way.

As a bit of fun, how many more gold medals will Australia win than England?

I'm going for 20.

Best regards.

Hey! Maybe I shot too low with 21 but I guess it's against the rules to change now! See the 1998 results:

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Final medals table at the 16th Commonwealth Games:


Country Gold Silver Bronze Total
Australia 80 60 58 198
England 36 47 53 136
