Likely won't be competing but Valerie Adams has voiced her concern about the prospect of her sport being dropped from the Olympic Games.
Shot put is one of five sports that may be cut from the Games after 2020, with the International Olympic Committee wanting to modernise and update the event. Will be interesting to see to what degree the Commonwealth Games Federation follows suit.

Was well received
Adding to the Commonwealth Games looks a natural progression

Gold to Nicola Adams (England) Flyweight
Gold to Shelley Watts (Australia) Lightweight
Gold to Savannah Marshall (England) Middleweight

This time around, no walking events in athletics, synchronised swimming or Greco-Roman wrestling
We normally do okay in the walking but not much success in the other two sports (from memory)
