1958 Commonwealth Games

The 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games (Gemau Ymerodraeth Prydain a’r Gymanwlad 1958) were held in Cardiff, Wales, from 18 to 26 July 1958.

Thirty-five nations sent a total of 1,130 athletes and 228 officials to the Cardiff Games and 23 countries and dependencies won medals, including, for the first time, Singapore, Ghana, Kenya, and the Isle of Man.

The Cardiff Games introduced the Queen’s Baton Relay, which has been conducted as a prelude to every British Empire and Common­wealth Games ever since.
