Шаблон:More citations neededШаблон:Commonwealth Games sidebarThe Commonwealth Winter Games was a multi-sport event comprising winter sports, last held in 1966. Three editions of the Games have been staged. The Winter Games were designed as a counterbalance to the Commonwealth Games, which focuses on summer sports, to accompany the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympic Games.
History
The winter Games were founded by T.D. Richardson.[1] The 1958 Commonwealth Winter Games[2] were held in St. Moritz, Switzerland.[3] This was the inaugural games for the winter edition.[1] The 1962 Games were also held in St. Moritz, complementing the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, Australia,[4] and the 1966 event was held in St. Moritz as well,[5] following which the idea was discontinued.
A Winter Games was proposed for 2010 in India, complementing the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi. The proposed venue was Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir,[6] where the Indian National Winter Games had previously been held,[7] but the idea did not come to fruition.
