  • The 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham are fully underway, with South Africa looking for a strong showing
  • Various individuals and teams will be in action in the afternoon and evening sessions of day two
  • Infamously, Durban was meant to host the event, but political instability forced the event to be moved to the United Kingdom

South Africa will target another strong showing at the 2022 Commonwealth Games currently taking place in Birmingham.

Team SA usually comes back with medals from the competition, and will be motivated by it being revoked from Durban a few years ago because of internal turmoil. Below is a list of who will be competing at what time in the afternoon and evening sessions.
