Commonwealth Games 2026: Was Glasgow a successful Games for Team Scotland?

Advertisements

Yes, there was. Both in terms of different sports, genders and abilities.

Of the 10 different disciplines, only two failed to yield medals – netball and Para-powerlifting.

Athletics can reflect on their second biggest haul in 44 years. Gymnastics can celebrate a first-ever men’s all-around gold. And satisfaction can be taken from an all-time best of 14 Para-sport medals.

A first team sport medal came in 3×3 basketball, followed by a second on the same day. Plus a first-ever podium in women’s boxing.

Boxing, bowls and judo might harbour regrets, though, after disappointing results.

Of the 39 Scotland medals, 20 were claimed by men, 17 by women, with two podiums for mixed teams.

And, just like in Birmingham, 43% of those medals went to female athletes.
