Countries which participated
The 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games were held in Cardiff, south Wales July 18-26 1958.
Thirty-five nations sent a total of 1,130 athletes and 228 officials to the Cardiff Games and 23 countries and dependencies won medals, including, for the first time, Singapore, Ghana, Kenya and the Isle of Man.
The Cardiff Games introduced the Queen's Baton Relay, which has been conducted as a prelude to every British Empire and Commonwealth Games ever since.
[edit] Participating Teams
36 teams were represented, being the largest number to date, with a significant amount of teams competing for the first time.
