Participating Nations
64 commonwealth nations competed at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games. As Fiji was suspended from the Commonwealth, it was banned from participating in the Games. Norfolk Island and Vanuatu withdrew from the competition, as there were no competitors available for Norfolk Island, and the latter cited other sporting commitments, followed by Lesotho and Montserrat. Ghana, Nigeria and Tuvalu were scheduled to compete at the Games, however they did not appear on the start lists.

Famous quotes containing the word nations:
““... There, there,
What you complain of, all the nations share.
Their effort is a mounting ecstasy
That when it gets too exquisite to bear
Will find relief in one burst. You shall see.
That’s what a certain bomb was sent to be.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
