It was an exciting six days of racing in Glasgow at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, and even if Australia dominated to an even larger degree than normal, there was still plenty of home nations interest. Bob and Steve are once again joined by Commonwealth Champion Hannah Miley to pick out the key events of the week.
Britain’s 4×200 strength will be divided in Glasgow and that split means a different dynamic to the relay. Australia are favourites, but the home nation battle could be fascinating.
Last summer, Filip Nowacki announced himself as one of Europe’s most exciting breaststroke prospects. This year he heads to Glasgow with the potential to make history with Jersey’s first ever swimming medals, but what he did last year matters little. “At the end of the day water doesn’t care who you were last year”.
Glasgow will play host to the 2026 Commonwealth Games with plenty of exciting racing in prospect at the Tollcross pool over six nights of action. To look forward to the competition, Steve and Bob are joined by Commonwealth Champion Hannah Miley.
With Glasgow preparing to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games, this episode asks a big question: do the Games still matter?
Through voices including Adam Ramsay-Peaty, Matt Richards, Duncan Scott, Dan Wiffen and James Guy, we examine why the Games still carry emotional and competitive weight and what the sport could lose if they disappear.
