Twenty-six gold medals will be decided across swimming, Para swimming, athletics, Para athletics, weightlifting, 3x3 basketball and 3x3 wheelchair basketball on Wednesday.

Here are some of the Commonwealth stories to follow.

GAPS athletes Nwachukwu and Agbo meet in Glasgow final

Goodness Nwachukwu produced one of the standout performances of Birmingham 2022, breaking her own world record twice on her way to women’s discus F42-44/61-64 gold.

The Nigerian, who has been supported through Commonwealth Sport’s GAPS programme, now returns to defend her title.

Among those challenging her will be team-mate Destiny Agbo, another GAPS athlete who became the first Para athletics gold medallist at a Commonwealth Youth Games when she won at Trinbago 2023.

Her progression to a senior Commonwealth final three years later provides another clear example of the pathway in action.

South Africa’s Yane van der Merwe, Wales’ Funmi Oduwaiye and Bree Cronin, and England’s Bebe Jackson and Ndidikama Okoh are also in the field.

GAPS alumna Alphonse targets Mauritius medal

Noemi Alphonse will represent Mauritius in the women’s 1500m T54 final after progressing from the GAPS programme to the Commonwealth, World and Paralympic stages.

The two-time world champion attended a GAPS camp before Birmingham 2022 and returned to the programme in Stellenbosch earlier this year.

Most of Alphonse’s success has come over 100m and 400m, but her experience could prove crucial in a tactical final.

She reached the 1500m final at Gold Coast 2018 but suffered a flat tyre. Eight years later, she has another opportunity to challenge for a Commonwealth medal.

Australia’s Eliza Ault-Connell and Scotland’s Melanie Woods are also among the contenders.

Abdul Jabar Adama has qualified for the men’s 50m butterfly final and will attempt to deliver another landmark moment for Nigerian swimming.

The 17-year-old won silver at the 2025 World Junior Swimming Championships, becoming the first Nigerian swimmer to claim a medal at the competition.

Adama secured his final place after defeating Wales’ Lewis Fraser in a swim-off.

Australia’s Kyle Chalmers, Cameron McEvoy and Ben Armbruster, along with Birmingham 2022 silver medallist Teong Tzen Wei of Singapore, are among his rivals.

Stowers carries Samoa’s weightlifting tradition

Seine Stowers will attempt to continue Samoa’s proud Commonwealth weightlifting tradition in the women’s 77kg final.

The 18-year-old won Commonwealth youth gold in 2025, setting youth records in the snatch and combined total.

She followed that with a combined lift of 254kg at the 2026 Oceania Championships, establishing herself as one of the leading contenders in Glasgow.

Stowers is the younger sister of Feagaiga Stowers, who won Commonwealth gold at Gold Coast 2018 and silver at Birmingham 2022.
