Commonwealth Games appearances (overview) | |
Nauru has competed in seven editions of the Commonwealth Games to date, beginning in 1990.[1] This very small country, which had a population of just 9,872 at the time of the 2002 census,[2] succeeded in winning at least one medals on each occasion, including at least one gold in their first four appearances.
Nauru is renowned particularly for weightlifting; all its medals in the Commonwealth Games have been achieved in that field. Apart from runners Frederick Cannon in 1994 and Aneri Canon in 1998, Nauru has only ever sent weightlifters to the Games.
To date, three Nauruans—Reanna Solomon, Marcus Stephen and Yukio Peter—have won gold medals, and a total of eight Nauruans—Reanna Solomon, Marcus Stephen, Yukio Peter, Jalon Renos Doweiya, Ebonette Deigaeruk, Sheba Deireragea, Mary Diranga, Itte Detenamo, and Charisma Amoe-Tarrant—have won medals.
