2026 Commonwealth Games and European Athletics results

Overview

The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow featured strong track performances. British sprinter Amy Hunt earned silver in the women’s 100m with a 10.98-second run in rain-soaked conditions, overcoming a slow start and water-logged blocks. Hunt, 24, described the performance as a stepping stone toward the European Championships and the 2028 Olympics, noting her pride in her top-end speed. In the women’s 100m hurdles, Nigeria’s world-record holder Tobi Amusan secured bronze in 12.60 seconds. Amusan noted that a knee injury sustained during a heavy fall at a pre-Games training camp hampered her performance. Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton captured gold in 12.33 seconds and Jamaica’s Megan Simmonds took silver in 12.41 seconds. Amusan’s wind-assisted 12.19 seconds in the heats was the fastest time ever recorded at the Games, though it was ineligible for record purposes. The final at Scotstoun Stadium contributed Nigeria’s sixth athletics medal, bringing its total to 16 and placing the nation fifth on the overall medal table. Following her success in Glasgow, Hunt achieved her goal at the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, winning her first senior individual gold medal in the 100m with a time of exactly 11 seconds. She finished ahead of Poland’s Ewa Swoboda and Belgium’s Delphine Nkansa, marking her second European gold after a 2024 relay victory. Hunt extended her success in Birmingham by securing a sprint double, winning gold in the 200m with a time of 22.19 seconds. She narrowly defeated Ireland’s Rhasidat Adeleke, who set a national record of 22.28 seconds, and Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith, who finished third. The 24-year-old Cambridge University graduate competed despite recent health challenges, including low blood pressure that caused “fears of fainting during training.”
