The 18th Commonwealth Games kicked off in Melbourne last night with a huge Opening Ceremony featuring flying trams, AFL Footballers, a mock cricket game, pop stars, lots of dancers, and of course the athletes. Today the events get underway with swimming first off the blocks. The games will run for 11 days in Melbourne.
