Highlights from Day 4 of the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow 2026

Fontaine completes medal collection

Canada’s Lia-Monica Fontaine (pictured) has had an unforgettable Games. On Monday she took Women’s Vault gold, to add to Sunday's silver in the Team final and bronze in the All-Around. Did we mention she’s only 16? The Vault competition had viewers seeing double as identical twins Abigail and Emily Roger (WAL) competed for a spot on the podium. Abigail took bronze, just edging out her sister, who was 0.150 points behind her in fourth place. Happily for family harmony, Emily picked up a bronze of her own in the Uneven Bars.

More lifting gold for Nigeria

Edidiong Umoafia got Sunday off to a flying start for Nigeria, winning his nation’s fourth gold of the Games as he topped the podium in the Men’s Weightlifting 71kg category. Umoafia said he’d been planning for this day for four years, since claiming bronze in Birmingham. He was followed  by team-mates Onome Omolola Didih and Rafiatu Folashade Lawal who topped the podium in the Women's 53kg and 58kg categories respectively.

The ‘Red Wiggle’ watches daughter in 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball

As the Australian Women’s 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball team won 12-10 in overtime against Canada, one very special spectator was in the crowd. Murray Cook, founding member of the Australian children’s entertainment phenomenon The Wiggles (if you know, you know) watched on as his daughter Georgia Munro-Cook helped her team to victory. “I retired a while back, and that's given me time to follow Georgia around the world,” the proud papa said.

Brock rocks Tollcross in front of her dad

The same couldn't be said for swimmer Brock Whiston's dad, who watched his daughter in person for the first time in 17 years. And the Paralympic gold medallist didn't disappoint, winning the Women's Breaststroke SB8. "This one means more," she admitted. "He's never been to a major champs. So to have him here meant more than anything." Elsewhere in the pool, Australia continued their dominance, winning seven of the other eight gold medals on offer.

No Eilish, no problem for Davies

Australia also made their mark on the first day of Athletics, Rose Davies taking advantage of the absence through injury of 2022 champion and home favourite Eilish McColgan (SCO) to win the  Women's 10,000m by overhauling Kenya's Diana Wanza.
