2026 Commonwealth Games athletics medals

Overview

Georgia Hunter Bell secured the women’s 800 metres gold at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, clocking 1:59.51 to hold off Kenya’s world‑champion Lilian Odira (2:00.58) and Australia’s Sarah Billings (2:00.61). The victory ended Africa’s 28‑year dominance in the event. Bell, back after a five‑year break and already an Olympic bronze medallist, world‑indoor silver medallist and 1500 m indoor champion, said she will target a full set of Commonwealth golds in the remaining 2026 events.

In the long‑jump, Great Britain’s Jazmin Sawyers claimed gold with a 6.93‑metre leap, her first outdoor title after recovering from a ruptured Achilles that forced her out of the 2024 Olympics.

Canada’s Savannah Sutherland earned bronze in the women’s 400‑metre hurdles, delivering her province’s first senior international track‑and‑field medal and helping Canada sit third on the overall medal table with 17 gold, 15 silver and 21 bronze medals.

British athletes posted strong performances across track and field, underscoring a successful home edition for the host nation.
