The Commonwealth Games are traditionally a place for events such as gymnastics, weightlifting and athletics. However, that is all be about to change in 2022 as esports will be added to the events program as well.
The inclusion of esports at the upcoming Birmingham games will be known as the Commonwealth Esport Championships. This event will be a pilot, and therefore no medals will be awarded to the winners. There are hopes from the organisers, however, that this pilot will be successful, with the theory being it will draw in a younger audience to the games themselves.
