2026 Commonwealth Games athletics in Glasgow

Entities: Commonwealth Games · Glasgow · Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games · Zoe Hobbs · Tobi Amusan

Overview

The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow featured strong track performances. British sprinter Amy Hunt earned silver in the women’s 100 m with a 10.98‑second run in rain‑soaked conditions, calling it a stepping‑stone toward the European Championships and the 2028 Olympics. In the women’s 100 m hurdles, Nigeria’s world‑record holder Tobi Amusan, hampered by a knee injury sustained in a heavy fall during a pre‑Games training camp, secured bronze in 12.60 seconds. 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 was held at Scotstoun Stadium, contributing Nigeria’s sixth athletics medal and raising its total to 16 medals, placing the nation fifth on the overall Games medal table. Both athletes will resume the Diamond League circuit, with Hunt targeting upcoming European meets and Amusan eyeing the Brussels final.
