Canada at 2026 Commonwealth Games
Entities: Commonwealth Games · Félix Dolci · Nicolas‑Guy Turbide · Taiso Gymnastics Club · Glasgow
Overview
Canada’s medal haul continued to grow on 28 July. Swimmer Nicolas‑Guy Turbide earned a bronze in the 50 m freestyle S13, marking his first Commonwealth podium since 2022 after recovering from mercury poisoning. In weightlifting, Alex Bellemarre added a silver in the men’s 94 kg class, while Maude Charron secured a third gold for Canada in the women’s 63 kg division with a 232 kg total, extending the nation’s dominance in the sport.
The men’s gymnastics team, led by Félix Dolci and William Émard, confirmed their historic team gold – the first Canadian title in two decades – cementing the earlier achievement reported on 27 July. A separate boxing incident involving Uganda’s Aziz Abdul drew controversy but did not affect Canada’s performance. Overall, the additional medals in swimming and weightlifting reinforced Canada’s position near the top of the Games’ medal table as the competition entered its final days.
