Highlights from Day 7 of the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow 2026

For the very latest action, tune in to the live blog.

Fast start at the velodrome

Scotland’s Sir Chris Hoy dropped by the velodrome that bears his name as the Track Cycling and Para Track Cycling, presented by EDF Energy, began. And it was hot both on and off the track (where it’s a constant 28C) with world records from Australia’s Tara Neyland in the Women’s C4 4000m Individual Pursuit and England’s Morgan Newberry in the C5. Scotland's Neil Fachie came out of retirement and raised the roof by claiming the first Cycling gold - his sixth overall - to become Scotland’s most successful Commonwealth Games athlete of all time. 

Day one of Decathlon

Decathlon got underway at the EDF Scotstoun Stadium with Canada’s Damian Warner, who topped the podium back in 2014 in Glasgow, leading the field. Lindon Victor of Grenada – who won the event at the last two Commonwealth Games and took bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games – is chasing a hat-trick of titles and currently sits in second. 

Mixed results for sprinters

Men's 100m gold medallist Emmanuel Eseme of Cameroon failed to qualify for the 200m final in today's semis, missing out on a fastest qualifier spot by 0.01 seconds. Jamaica's Christopher Taylor had the fastest time of the day, while 100m silver medallist Lachlan Kennedy, of Australia, scraped in to the final eight as one of the fastest losers. In the Women's semi-finals, Adaejah Hodge of the British Virgin Islands set a Games record as she qualified with a time of 22.01. She'll be joined in the final by 100m bronze medallist Torrie Lewis of Australia and hotly tipped Jamaicans Alana Reid and Ashanti Moore.

Heavyweight champions

Fiji’s first medal of the Games - a gold in the Men’s 110kg Weightlifting, presented by Amul - went to Taniela Tuisuva Rainibogi. But it was Tonga’s Joshua Uikilifi Jr (pictured) who brought the party to the SEC Armadillo, going viral with his enthusiastic celebrations after each of his successful lifts. He finished in fourth place. In the Women’s +86kg, England’s Emily Campbell made it look easy as she lifted an incredible 163kg in the clean and jerk, a Commonwealth and Games record, to retain her title from Birmingham 2022. In the +110kg, New Zealand’s David Liti lifted 223kg in the clean and jerk to take gold ahead of Silver Lovepreet Singh of India.
