11 June 2026 – six weeks to go:

Team Australia will be confident of securing Artistic Gymnastics honours at Glasgow 2026 after naming four Birmingham 2022 medallists among their 10-strong line-up.

The squad is headlined by double Commonwealth champion Georgia Godwin, who claimed five honours four years ago. It marks an important step in the 28-year-old’s career with the gymnast having missed the Paris 2024 Olympics with an Achilles injury.

She is joined by fellow Birmingham 2022 podium finishers Kate McDonald, Breanna Scott and Emily Whitehead, while on the men’s side Jesse Moore returns for a second Games.

Six reigning Commonwealth champions will feature among a 25-strong Australia cycling team at Glasgow 2026, with triple gold medallist Georgia Baker and Team Sprint Champion Leigh Hoffman among the lead names in the Track Cycling line-up.

Para Track Cycling star Jessica Gallagher, one of her nation’s most decorated multi-sport Paralympic champions, will return for her third Commonwealth Games, saying she is “hungry” for further success.

Australia has also confirmed it will field 11 Judoka at Glasgow 2026, with defending champion Aoife Coughlan joined by sister Maeve. Fellow siblings Vas and Saya Middleton will make Games debuts in Scotland.

Tinka Eaton and Josh Katz, who claimed gold and bronze respectively four years ago, are to other key contenders who will don the ‘green and gold’ this summer.

Lewis Clareburt will have the opportunity to add to his already impressive honours list with the double gold medallist named among a 24-strong New Zealand Swimming and Para Swimming team.

His 400m Individual Medley win at Birmingham 2022 saw the world champion become his nation’s first Commonwealth swimming gold medallist for 16 years.

Their other lead podium contender this summer is Erika Fairweather, a four-time World medallist, who believes Glasgow will be an “amazing experience.”

Host nation Scotland will field 11 boxers at Glasgow 2026, with 19-year-old “total manifester” Niamh Mitchell dreaming of landing gold.

She made history back in 2022 when she became her nation’s first-ever female international medallist at the European Junior Championships and recently claimed a landmark senior title at the International Bocskai Tournament in Hungary.

New Zealand has also revealed their squad for the Artistic Gymnastics competition, with Courtney McGregor set to make her major event return after five years away from competition.

The inclusion of Misha Koudinov is also of keen interest, with the multiple Oceanic champion set to become only the third athlete in his nation’s history to appear at six Commonwealth Games.

Team Northern Ireland, who last month revealed their boxing, netball and swimming line-ups, has confirmed it will be represented by four weightlifters in Scotland.

Among the squad is Hannah Crymble, who placed sixth at Birmingham 2022 and balances training with full-time work as an NHS nurse. She will be joined by Omar Keshta, Harrison McGrogan and Kaitlin Saunders.

Singapore will field a 50-strong squad for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Although the full list of athletes will be revealed later in June, the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) has revealed the line-up for swimming, athletics, bowls, cycling and artistic gymnastics.

The standout name, who will be targeting a return to the podium in the pool, is Teong Tzen Wei, who won 50m Butterfly silver at Birmingham 2022. Two other key ones-to-watch are track athletes Shanti Pereira and Calvin Quek, who are respective Asian Games 200m and SEA Games 400m gold medallists.

4 June 2026 – seven weeks to go:

It was a busy week of Track Cycling and Para Track Cycling announcements, with Canada, England, New Zealand and Scotland all confirming their line-ups for Glasgow 2026.

Matt Richardson memorably claimed two Commonwealth titles for Australia at Birmingham 2022, but after winning three honours at Paris 2024 he then made headlines around the world by switching to represent the nation of his birth, Great Britain.

He will now go up against his former Australia team-mates when he lines-up for England as part of their 25-strong cycling squad.

Other standout names include the Paralympic champions Kadeena Cox, Lizzi Jordan and Sophie Unwin, with Olympic medallists Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant two further strong multi-medal prospects for England at Glasgow 2026.

Two-time World champion Neah Evans was announced as part of 13 additional cyclists added to the pre-selected quartet, with four-time World Junior champion Erin Boothman another exciting prospect in the host nation’s ranks.

Canada’s eight-strong Track Cycling team will feature three returning Commonwealth athletes, including Scratch Race bronze medallist Maddie Coles-Lyster and Sarah Orban, who won silver as part of her nation’s Team Sprint squad.

New Zealand claimed 11 medal at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome back at the 2014 and look well place to contest for a host of honours in Scotland once more.

Their Track Cycling squad features triple Birmingham 2022 gold medallist Ellesse Andrews as well as fellow Paris 2024 podium finishes and reigning Commonwealth champions Bryony Botha and Rebecca Petch.

New Zealand also revealed their eight-strong judo squad, with veteran judoka, mother and two-time Commonwealth medallist Moira de Villiers set to return to the scene of her first major international success, having claimed silver at Glasgow 2014.

Canada has also confirmed that their judo squad will feature 10 athletes, a line-up which features Birmingham 2022 silver medallist Kyle Reyes.

The last athlete from Jersey to stand on a Commonwealth Games podium was Colin Mallett back in 1990, but that long unwanted run without a medal could well end this summer following the inclusion of talented teenager Filip Nowacki.

The World and European Junior champion currently tops the 200m Breaststroke Commonwealth rankings and is set to also go head-to-head with idol and mentor Adam Ramsay-Peaty of England in the 50m and 100m Breaststroke disciplines.

Jersey will be represented by 21 islanders at Glasgow 2026, with the five-strong athletics team the largest it has ever sent to a Commonwealth Games.
