It was at the Commonwealth of Nations Games of 1970 and 1974, that were held in the megalopolis Edinburgh in Scotland and in Christchurch in Fresh Zealand respectively, that Uganda’s competitors were most victorious at these quadrennial events. In 1970, Uganda’s performance in boxing was the most uplifting with Uganda winning three gold medals (James Odwori, Mohamed Muruli, and Benson Masanda) and two silver medals (Leo Rwabwogo and Deogratias Musoke). The other medals won for Uganda were on the track–William Koskei’s silver medal in the 400 meters-hurdles, and Judith Ayaa’s bronze medal in the women’s 400 meters. Uganda performed equally well at the Commonwealth Games of 1970.
