		<div id="textsize"><p>(<a href="none" class="source">海角在线免费</a>) - The <b>Queen's baton</b> made its first plunge underwater in the depths of Seychelles islands, one wet and exotic stop on its journey around the <b>Commonwealth</b> countries of the world ahead of the <b><b>Commonwealth</b> Games</b> in Glasgow.鈥ㄢ</p>
<p>British high commissioner to Seychelles Lindsay Skoll took the Queen鈥檚 baton for a dive this morning and was later joined onshore by the Seychelles Paralympic athletes in the relay, who will be attending the games.</p>
<p>In reception last night in honour of the baton's arrival in Sychelles, Skoll stated: 鈥淭he Paralympic Association athletes who join us tomorrow (Thursday) will do so as true equals with those who proudly ran today -- not as a mere addition to the baton鈥檚 programme, not as mere window dressing for equality, but as rightful, equal members of the Queen鈥檚 baton relay team and members of the <b>Commonwealth</b> family.鈥</p>
<p>The baton leaves Seychelles this afternoon, heading for Malawi.</p>
<p>鈥═he Queen鈥檚 baton relay was launched in a ceremony at the Buckingham Palace October 9, 2013 by the head of the <b>Commonwealth</b>, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.Inside the specially designed baton is her message to all athletes to be read at the opening ceremony of the <b><b>Commonwealth</b> Games</b> July 23, 2014 in Glasgow, Scotland.</p>
<p>Member of the <b>Commonwealth</b> since 1976, the Seychelles which has a population of around 90 000, took part in its first <b><b>Commonwealth</b> Games</b> in Auckland in 1990 and every four years after that.</p>
<p>The Indian Ocean nation won its first medal, a bronze medal by Boxer Rival Payet, at the 1994 Games in Victoria, Canada. Boxing talent gave Seychelles 2 silver medals 4 years later at the 1998 games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, won by Roland Raforme and Gerry Legras. At the Melbourne Games in 2006 Athletics and weightlifting raised Seychelles flags, as athlete Celine Laporte and lifter Janet Georges won a bronze medal each.Weightlifter Janet Georges went on to win another <b><b>Commonwealth</b> games</b> medal as she snatched a Silver medal in the Women's 69kg final at the Delhi Games in 2010.</p>
