Fiji At The Commonwealth Games
Fiji have competed in all but two Commonwealth Games since 1938, missing only 1990 and 1994, as they were not members of the Commonwealth during this time. Fiji have won fourteen Commonwealth medals across six sports.
The country is currently suspended from the Commonwealth, and has technically been banned from taking part in the 2010 Games.

“Honorable Senators: My sincerest thanks I offer you. Conserve the firm foundations of our institutions. Do your work with the spirit of a soldier in the public service. Be loyal to the Commonwealth and to yourselves and be brief; above all be brief.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
