The athletic performances are obviously a part of the Commonwealth Games, but the participants are not the only ones who have their abilities tested on the fields.

44 soccer teams are in the valley this weekend ranging in age from 12 and under to adult.
A crew of three referees is needed for each game. Some of these men and women will work eight to 10 games over the two day period.
So they have to be in shape.

The referees move up and down the field with the play and there's always a chance for an injury.
Debbie Lieber (LEE-ber) turned her ankle on an uneven part of the field.

Do you weigh at least 250 pounds? If so-- you could qualify for the Olympics. The Bubba-Limpics, that is.

Greensboro played host to the first ever Bubba-Limpics at Emerald Point Water Park. The reason for the 250 pound weight requirement? Competition in the hot dog eating and watermelon seed spitting contests demands it. The Bubba-Limpics winner doesn't get a gold medal, but he does take home a used pick- up truck and a three day trip to Myrtle Beach.
