Singapore, June 14, 2022: The Singapore National Olympic Council has announced that 67 athletes in nine sports have been selected by the Commonwealth Games Singapore (CGS) to represent the Republic in the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
The 2022 CWG will be held in Birmingham, central England, from July 28 to August 8, when 283 events in 20 sports will be contested.
The CGS Selection Committee chaired by Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, President of the CGS, and the CGS Appeals Committee chaired by Mr Ng Ser Miang, met on separate occasions to consider the nominations put forward by the National Sports Associations. The final list was announced by the CGS on May 27.
The athlete quota is set by the Commonwealth Games Federation on a hybrid model based on two types of allocation – qualification and open.
Sixteen athletes in four sports - para-powerlifting, para-swimming, table tennis and weightlifting - were selected based on the qualification allocation, while 51 athletes - from athletics, badminton, gymnastics, lawn bowls, swimming and wrestling - were selected through the open allocation.
At the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, the Singapore contingent of 59 athletes in 11 sports came home with nine medals: five gold, two silver and two bronze.
