The Commonwealth Games allow athletes to swap their red, white and blue of Great Britain for their home country's colors.
As teams from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland prepare for the Games in 2022, who will win medals?
Here are the ones to look out for.
The build-up to the Commonwealth Games has been different for three-time Olympian Adam Peaty.
Mel Marshall, Peaty's coach, said it was "very close" to whether Peaty would make the Olympics after he broke his foot at the World Championships.
He wants to defend his 100m breaststroke Commonwealth title and turn his 50m silver from last year into a gold medal.
He won two gold medals for England at the Glasgow Commonwealths. He went on to win 16 European titles and eight world titles.
Laura Kenny did not compete at the Commonwealth Games because she gave birth to her son eight months before.
Eight years after winning a gold medal in a points race in Glasgow, she is returning to the city.
After winning her fifth and sixth Olympic medals in Tokyo last summer, Kenny had a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy, but came back to cycling in April.
She was due to go up against her teammate at the Olympics, but was forced to pull out because of injuries.
The men's and women's 1500m races at the recent athletics World Championships in Eugene, Oregon, saw two medals hang around the neck of British and Scottish athletes.

Muir got the medal ball rolling with her hard-fought bronze after winning Olympic silver last year.
She hasn't competed at a Commonwealth Games in two years, but she is one of the favorites to win a medal.
Josh Kerr was the first British man to win a medal in the 1500m since 1988 when he won bronze at the Olympics.
He finished in the top five at the World Championships.
The fast paced 33 format will be used in wheelchair basketball at the Commonwealth Games.

Four years ago, he beat MaxWhitlock to win the gold medal at the Olympics on the Gold Coast.
The International Gymnastics Federation banned him because he has represented Ireland in international gymnastics competition.
After considerable anger from Commonwealth Games NI and a host of athletes and politicians, the FIG changed its ruling.
He has a good chance of defending his title, as he has already won European gold and World Championship bronze since his win.
Dina Asher-Smith has two individual titles at World and European level, but she has yet to win a gold medal in the Commonwealth.
He helped England to the 4x 100m relay title on the Gold Coast, as well as the 200m bronze.
After a mixed start to the season, she had looked to have found her form for the busy summer of athletics, winning a bronze medal in the 200m at the World Championships and equalling her 100m personal best time.
The Commonwealths may have had a problem with an injury sustained in the 4x 100m Relay. If she makes it to the start line, she will face the likes of Jamaicans Shericka Jackson and Elaine Thompson, who took a clean sweep of the world 100m podium in Oregon.
Can Asher-Smith use it to her advantage at Alexander Stadium?
James Ball has two silver medals from the Commonwealth Games, but he wants to go one better.
Neil Fachie beat him to gold in the tandem B sprint and kilo at the Commonwealths, as well as in the 1,000m time trial at the Tokyo Paralympics.
Ball won sprint gold at the World Championship in 2020 while Fachie won kilo gold.
Matt was Fachie's pilot in Tokyo and on the Gold Coast.
Duncan Scott became the first British athlete to win four medals at an Olympics when he won gold, silver, and bronze in the men's 4x200m relay at the London Games.
His build-up to this year's Games hasn't been smooth after he was forced to pull out of the World Championships with issues in his Covid-19.
He faces stiff competition from England's Tom Dean, who became the new name on everyone's lips in 2021 when he won two gold medals at the Olympics.

Scott said there was nothing else to it.
She delayed her honeymoon so that she could win the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.
The S14 200m freestyle will be Firth's main event for the first time.
At the World Para- swimming Championships in Madeira, she won five golds and six medals.
Firth said that the gold medal was missing. It is in my head most of the time.
England's Jessica-Jane Applegate won five medals in Madeira, and will compete against Firth in the S14 200m freestyle, the event in which she was crowned Paralympian.
Geraint Thomas will swap his Ineos Grenadiers jersey for that of Team Wales as he prepares to compete in both the road race and time trial at the Commonwealth Games.

The men's 160 km road race course is not ideal for Thomas. He said that there can be so much happening in the Commonwealth Games.
