hi i see your point and in fact it is redundant however this is the way how games competitors are catagorized for instance all the competitors in category commonwealth games medallists for wales are also in category commonwealth games competitors for wales also for all the other nations this is also for all the other continental games for instance all competitors in category pan american games medalists for canada are also in category pan american games competitors for canada so if you're looking for an competitor from a certain country you don't have to search also in the gold silver and bronze categories to know if he has participated talk
