With the Glasgow 2026 programme unveiled, Scottish Cycling and Commonwealth Games Scotland are delighted to share the cycling selection policy for the Games, the first of the 10 sports on the programme to agree the sport specific standards required for consideration.
With a fantastic track programme slated, which includes an Elimination Race for the first time, and the biggest integrated para-cycling programme in the event’s history, we have devised a policy that we believe will strike the perfect balance between strong numbers representing Scotland, and success.
Commonwealth Games Scotland aims to select a team of athletes capable of competing with distinction for Scotland at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, and; collectively have a higher percentage of athletes meeting the general selection standards when in competition at these Games than in 2022, meeting the stated performance aims of each sport at the Games and team members having a positive experience within Team Scotland at the Games.
The selection window officially comes into effect on 1 May 2025, however there are a number of higher-level competitions prior to that date, which will be considered.
On releasing the policy, Scottish Cycling Head of Performance and Coaching, David Somerville, said:
“I’m delighted to see such a broad track programme for Glasgow 2026, and that we’ve been able to work with Commonwealth Games Scotland to create this policy so quickly, giving our athletes the longest window possible to aim for qualification.
“The first chance for some of our athletes is next week at the European Championships in Belgium, with the selection window closing on 27th April next year. I have every confidence that a home Games will inspire some incredible performances between now and then, across the full range of able bodied and para-cycling events.”
Team Scotland Chef de Mission for Glasgow 2026, Elinor Middlemiss MBE, added:
“Following the publication of our General Selection Policy, I’m delighted that the Cycling selection policy and standards have been published today, as we build towards the excitement of a home Games next year. Having standards in place as early as possible means athletes aspiring to a place on the team and their coaches can target their preparation in the knowledge of exactly what is required to be selected. I look forward to welcoming a strong cycling contingent to Team Scotland for Glasgow 2026.”

Sport specific standards for each of the 10 sports on the Glasgow 2026 programme will be added as they are finalised over the coming weeks.
The Glasgow 2026 Organising Company has today announced the medal event programme for the 23rd Commonwealth Games, with Para sport, Track Cycling and Swimming set for the most extensive medal event programmes in Commonwealth Games history.
The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games will take place on Thursday 23 July to Sunday 2 August 2026 and will feature a 10-sport programme concentrated across four venues within an eight-mile corridor of the city, with over 200 gold medals up for grabs across the 10 days of sporting competition.
Glasgow 2026 will showcase a fully integrated Para sport programme across six of the ten sports, with a Commonwealth Games record 47 medal events in Para disciplines.
The action-packed sporting programme will take place at the Commonwealth Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, Scottish Exhibition Centre (SEC), Scotstoun Stadium and Tollcross International Swimming Centre, with the 10 sports on the schedule comprising of:
- Artistic Gymnastics
- Athletics and Para Athletics
- 3×3 Basketball and 3×3 Wheelchair Basketball
- Boxing
- Swimming and Para Swimming
- Bowls and Para Bowls (indoor)
- Judo
- Netball
- Track and Para Track Cycling
- Weightlifting and Para Powerlifting
The Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome is set to see a very busy and full programme of racing, as Glasgow hosts the biggest Track Cycling programme ever seen at a Commonwealth Games. The Track Cycling programme will see 26 medal events in total across Para and non Para disciplines.
The Para Track Cycling programme has doubled in size from Birmingham 2022, with eight medals available, including the C1-C3 (men) and C4-C5 (women) Time Trials and Individual Pursuits for the first time.
Scottish Paralympic and World champion C3 cyclist, Fin Graham, said “I’m absolutely delighted to see such a strong Cycling programme announced for Glasgow 2026, with greater Para sport integration than ever before.
“On a personal level, to have my category and events included is unbelievable – ever since Glasgow 2014 I’ve wanted to ride at the Commonwealth Games, and hopefully next year I’ll get that chance. To do it in front of a Scottish crowd, on the velodrome where I learnt to ride the track, will be even more special.”
The Tollcross International Swimming Centre will also see a jam-packed schedule as Glasgow 2026 prepares for the most extensive swim programme in Commonwealth Games history, with 56 medal events in total across both Para and non Para competition. In a Games’ first, the men’s 800m Freestyle and women’s 1500m Freestyle races will be included.
Swimmer, Katie Shanahan, who won two bronze medals at Birmingham 2022, said “The announcement of the medal events is another great milestone in Glasgow delivering the Games next year. And for me it really is a home Games. I learned to swim in Glasgow and spent many years with clubs in and around Glasgow, so competing for Scotland in a pool I know so well, will be so exciting, and I really can’t wait for it.”
At Scotstoun, World Athletics has made an innovative change to the athletics competition with the return of the Commonwealth Mile. Last run in 1966, the Mile race, which will be run on the track, is a nod to the ‘The Miracle Mile’ at the Commonwealth Games in Vancouver, Canada in 1954, when England’s Roger Bannister and Australian John Landy – the only two sub-four-minute runners in the world at the time – went head to head only two months after Bannister became the first athlete to run a sub-four minute mile.
World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said “The mile is the quintessential Commonwealth athletics event whose return to the Games in Glasgow 2026 I very much welcome.
“From 1930 through to 1966, the mile was the blue riband event of each Games and the magic of the mile continues to resonate with sports fans. A ticket to watch its Commonwealth final will be one of the must have seats in Glasgow next year.”
The Athletics programme has also been adapted to encourage strength and depth of competition across all 74 territories, with the Mixed 4x400m relay included.
It is also the first time in the history of the Commonwealth Games that Para Athletics will see athletes competing in jumping, throwing and track events, with all three disciplines being included on the programme for the first time.
Over on the Basketball court, the huge success of the 3×3 programme in Birmingham has seen the 3×3 Wheelchair Basketball competitions for men and women extend from six teams to eight and 3×3 Basketball competitions for men and women extend from eight teams to 12.
Chief Executive of Glasgow 2026, Phil Batty OBE, said “What makes the Commonwealth Games so special to so many is its fully integrated sport programme. I am proud that Glasgow 2026 will see the biggest Para sport medal event programme in Games’ history and will play such an important role in growing, supporting and championing Para sport.
“Glasgow 2026 is a bridge to the Commonwealth Games of tomorrow and we have a clear vision that it will be brilliantly different. The huge Track Cycling and Swimming programmes, alongside the return of the Mile in Athletics, a wealth of disciplines introduced to the Games for the first time across the Para Athletics, Para Track Cycling and Para Swimming programmes, not to mention the increase in 3×3 Basketball and 3×3 Wheelchair Basketball teams, makes the Glasgow 2026 sporting programme a really exciting prospect for fans and athletes alike.
“I’m confident that with action-packed programmes across all four venues in the city, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Glasgow 2026 is set to be a world-class sporting celebration, filled with passion, fun, and outstanding sport!”
The full medal event programme is available via www.glasgow2026.com
Please note that the Boxing medal event programme is due to be confirmed later this year.
With a home Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on the horizon, Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS) have published the General Selection Policy and Standards document which will be used to select the athletes who will represent Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Clear, consistent selection policies and the Team Scotland ethos, bringing together all sports as one team, have been a factor in the success of Team Scotland over past Games cycles, culminating in a best ever Games outside Scotland at Birmingham 2022. Continuing the same approach, the selection policy for Glasgow focuses on selecting a team that performs with distinction in 2026.
The selection standard set out in the General Selection Policy is based on a performance level of the ability to show a top six performance at the Games with the key aims of achieving a higher percentage of athletes meeting the selection standards when in competition at the Games than in 2022 and for each sport to meet its stated performance aims. In addition, CGS has set the aim of all team members having a positive experience within Team Scotland at the Games.
As host nation, Team Scotland will be represented in all 10 sports on the programme and CGS will now work with sports to develop the Sport Specific Selection Policy and Standards so that they are available in advance of the selection period which will open on 1st May 2025. These will include a detailed breakdown of the specific times, distances and competition results required, the dates between which these standards must be achieved and any other factors which will be taken into consideration for each sport.
Endorsing the General Selection Policy, CGS Chief Executive Jon Doig OBE said; “Glasgow 2026 is fast approaching, with this is an important milestone in our preparations and the first step towards our aim for all team members to have a positive Games experience.
“We have produced a policy that will select a team which will perform with distinction and ensure consistency between sports. Next, this will be supplemented by sport specific standards, ensuring all athletes in Scotland with the aspiration and potential to compete in Glasgow know exactly what they must do to make the team ahead of the selection period opening.”
A copy of the General Selection Policy is available on the selection page in the Glasgow 2026 section of this website. Individual sport policies will be added as they are published.
After years of planning by Commonwealth Games Scotland and key partners in Scottish sport, the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games saw a truly memorable and successful 11 days of competition in front of packed, world-class venues, with the home crowd roaring Team Scotland on to their best performance ever. A record haul of 53 medals, 19 gold, 15 silver and 19 bronze to finish fourth on the medal table, was just reward for the huge team effort that made the whole of Scotland proud.
Following a magnificent build-up to the Games, Team Scotland fielded its largest team ever, with 310 athletes, multiple World and European medal-winning judoka, Euan Burton, carrying the Scottish Flag into the Opening Ceremony at Celtic Park on 23 July, to the rapturous applause of the crowd. In an amazing spectacle, everyone enjoyed a night of excitement and pride, setting the tone for the 11 days of world-class competition that were to follow.
Ten years on, some of those inspired by those Games as young athletes making their first steps in international competition, or there as fans in the stand, are about to make their mark at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. An impressive 12 out of 34 Scots selected for this year’s Olympics competed at Glasgow 2014, including medallists Kirsty Gilmour and Duncan Scott.
Duncan is joined on the aquatics squad by fellow Glasgow competitors Kathleen Dawson, Lucy Hope and Grace Reid while Seonaid McIntosh, in sister Jen’s shadow in Glasgow, is set for her second Olympic appearance in Shooting and Sarah Robertson, though the only veteran of Glasgow 2014, is one of four Scottish players selected for the hockey squads.
No fewer than five of the athletics team head to Paris: Jake Wightman, Eilish McColgan, Laura Muir and Nick Percy having starred on the world stage over the past 10 years and Beth Potter making such a successful transition to Triathlon that she heads to the French capital as reigning World champion.
With selections still being made for Paralympics GB, Neil Fachie, double cycling gold medallist at Glasgow 2014, and Samantha Kinghorn, 5th in the T54 1500m ten years ago, will head to Paris with strong medal hopes.
The Glasgow 2014 Games were full of unforgettable moments from Hannah Miley defending her 400m IM title and the look of sheer disbelief on Ross Murdoch’s face after he touched home for gold on the opening night in the pool, to Kirsty Gilmour taking Team Scotland’s best ever Singles Badminton result and final medal of the Games with silver. Erraid Davies became Scotland’s youngest ever medallist as she took SB9 100m Breaststroke bronze at the age of just 13 and won the hearts of the nation with her beaming smile, while Charlie Flynn was also a crowd favourite with his memorable interviews after he and Josh Taylor claimed gold on the final night of Boxing.
Shooter Jen McIntosh became Scotland’s most decorated female athlete in Commonwealth Games history as she added silver and bronze to her two gold and a bronze from Delhi 2010. Kimberley Renicks took Scotland’s first gold of the Games, swiftly followed by sister Louise, to start a Judo medal rush of 13 medals from 14 athletes, flagbearer Euan Burton also among the six gold medallists. There was a Para-Cycling double gold for Neil Fachie and Craig McLean, while Libby Clegg and Mikhail Huggins took Scotland’s first gold on the athletics track since Yvonne Murray in 1994.
Vio Etko and Alex Gladkov scored Scotland’s first Wrestling medals for 20 years and there was a first ever team medal for Gymnastics as Dan Keatings and Dan Purvis led the men’s team to bronze before going on to take individual gold on Pommel and Parallel Bars respectively. Alex Marshall and Paul Foster lead an impressive four medal haul in Lawn Bowls with gold in both Pairs and Fours. In recognition of his achievements Alex was named Athlete of the Games and selected as closing ceremony flagbearer, bringing an incredible Games to a close.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of swimming great David Wilkie MBE on 22 May, at the age of 70, following a battle with cancer.
Born in Sri Lanka, where his Scottish parents were stationed at the time, David is the only person to have held British, American, Commonwealth, European, World and Olympic swimming titles at the same time. He won 200m Breaststroke bronze for Scotland at the Edinburgh 1970 Commonwealth Games at the age of 16 and announced himself on the global stage with silver in the same event at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.
Two gold and a silver at the 1974 Christchurch Commonwealth Games was followed by his greatest triumph as he won Olympic gold in world record time at Monteral 1976 in the 200m Breaststroke, also taking silver in the 100m event.
Also a three time World champion and twice European champion, David was European Swimmer of the Year three times and was named British Sports Personality of the Year in 1975. He was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1982 and in 2002 was one of the inaugural inductees into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame.
Jon Doig OBE, Chief Executive, Commonwealth Games Scotland said: “We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of one of Scotland’s sporting greats in David Wilkie.
“He was an inspiration to so many and his record on the international stage was outstanding.
“Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time, and we share their pride in all he achieved.”
Matthew Ward and Niamh Trainer, flag bearers at the Commonwealth Youth Games last summer, were Team Scotland’s representatives at the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey on Monday 11th March.
Both athletes shared their sporting achievements with school children and took part in media activity before the service, with netball player Niamh then joining athletes from England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the procession down the aisle. Matthew, who won seven medals in the pool at Trinbago 2023, was given the honour of mace bearer, leading the Royal Family in and out of the Abbey.
“It was an honour to have taken part in the service and hold the mace,” said Matthew, reflecting on his experience.
“It was an once in a lifetime opportunity and I will forever cherish it.”
Commonwealth Day is celebrated across the Commonwealth on the second Monday in March every year. It provides an opportunity to promote understanding on global issues, international cooperation, and the work of Commonwealth organisations, including the Commonwealth Games Federation. The Commonwealth Service takes place in the presence of some 2,000 guests including Members of The Royal Family, Commonwealth and UK dignitaries, diplomatic representatives, and members of the public, in addition to young people from across the UK.
“I was very honoured and grateful to be invited,” said Niamh. “It was a truly awesome experience to represent Scotland in celebrating the unity of the Commonwealth. To be surrounded by excellent athletes and so many inspiring people from all over the world made it a brilliant and unforgettable day.”
Team Scotland returned home from the Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad & Tobago on Saturday 12th August with a bumper haul of medals, and memories to last a lifetime, after a hugely successful Games for our young athletes.
Following an incredible final day of competition which saw an incredible eight medals won across Track Cycling and Athletics, Team Scotland ended the Games with their best ever placing on the medal table in 3rd with a final tally of 12 gold, 11 silver and 5 bronze.
The total of 28 medals was a fantastic achievement and 12 gold medals equals Scotland’s best ever Youth Games performance at the 2004 Games in Bendigo, where many fewer nations competed.
Five of the seven sports won medals (Athletics, Cycling, Rugby 7s, Swimming and Triathlon), with Netball coming agonisingly close with a narrow loss in the bronze medal match, while Beach Volleyball also acquitted themselves well against older and more experienced opposition, finishing 7th.
28 of the 49 athletes enjoyed medal success and, with four gold and three silver, Matthew Ward ended the Games as Scotland’s most successful Youth Games athlete in history, following an incredible few days in the pool. He eclipsed the record medal tally, set at the 2017 Youth Games, by fellow swimmer Scott McLay, who went on win a medal at the Gold Coast 2018 Games on the back of his three gold, one silver and one bronze in the Bahamas.
Swimmer Holly McGill and cyclist Sarah Johnson became just the second and third female athletes to win two gold medals for Scotland at a Youth Games, both returning home with two gold and a silver.
Sarah was part of a strong Cycling contingent, that contributed an incredible eleven medals to the overall tally. Elliot Rowe won Team Scotland’s first medal of Trinbago 2023 with Time Trial silver on the road, before Millie Thomson won Scotland’s first ever Youth Games track cycling medal with bronze on the Points Race, going on to win three medals: a silver and two bronze. Calum Moir was also a multi-medal winner in the velodrome with two gold, a silver and a bronze.
There were also a number of firsts as the Rugby 7s team claimed Team Scotland’s first ever team sport medal at either Youth Games or Commonwealth Games with gold, beating Fiji in the final in spectacular style. Jessica Heeps took a first medal for Triathlon as the sport made its debut, followed closely by Alex Robin in the men’s individual event, both winning silver, before combining to win a further silver in the Mixed Relay.
Chris Purdie, Chef de Mission was delighted with the team’s performance and said:
“Trinbago 2023 has been a special Games for everyone in Team Scotland. While finishing third on the medal table is a historic moment for Scotland, we are exceptionally proud that we were able to be represented in all seven sports that were part of the Games in Trinidad and Tobago. The chance to offer up-and-coming athletes the opportunity to compete internationally at a multi-sport event will be something that provides all individuals with significant learning on their performance journey.
“As Chef de Mission for the Team, I can’t thank the staff team enough for all of the work that they did both pre and during the Games. They created a fantastic environment for our young and talented athletes to not only perform to their best ability but to have a positive and memorable experience as well.
“I am tremendously proud of all of our athletes, staff, and wider delegation who have represented Scotland at Trinbago and it is evident that there are many brilliant individuals to watch out for in the future of Scottish sport.”
Day 3 of Trinbago 2023 brought lots of excitement and success on both the Rugby pitch and the Beach Volleyball court, with athletes battling the intense heat to come away with wins. Athletics got underway for the first time and the cyclists were back in action in the road race.
Our Rugby 7s team were up against the mighty Fijians in the morning session of the competition and put in a fantastic shift against a formidable side but unfortunately fell short, loosing 32-5.
Up next in the afternoon session, the boys were up against another challenging side in the South Africans, who were unbeaten in the competition so far. With record temperatures, the game kicked off and both teams came out hard and the score was ties 12-12 at half time. Going into the final 90 seconds, the team trailed by 5 points and needed at least a try to tie the game and a conversion to win. With a turnover at the other end of the pitch, the boys remained calm and managed to break through the South African defence, with Fergus Watson scoring the winning try and Matthew Urwin clinching the win with the conversion.
Over on the Beach Volleyball courts, our Scottish women’s pair, Iona and Sasha, were in the playoff match up against Vanuatu, with a place in the the quarter finals up for grabs. After leading in the opening points, the girls lost the first set 17-21. With the heat being a challenge for all teams today, the girls had a tough road ahead but stormed to victory in the second set 21-12 and battled the elements to take the third and final set 15-13. A truly exceptional effort from both girls to take their first win of the tournament.
At the Hasley Crawford Stadium, venue for the Opening Ceremony, the Athletics competition got underway. Lidya Woldeselassie, youngest memeber of Team Scotland at just 14, made history by becoming the first athlete to represent Team Scotland in a para-sport event at a Commonwealth Youth Games. She performed superbly, reaching the final of the T35-38 100m where she finished seventh in a personal best of 19.14 seconds. Also in action was Millie McClelland-Brooks who qualified comfortably for tomorrow’s 1500m final, finishing 4th in her semi-final with the top six progressing automatically.
Millie Thomson, Evie White, Elliot Rowe and Joe Cosgrove were back in action in the Cycling road race following the time trial on Saturday. The the women’s race, Evie took 7th while Millie did not finish. In the men’s race Elliot took ninth and Joe 13th, behind gold medallist Oisin Ferrity of Northern Ireland.

Eight rising stars of track and field are part of Team Scotland for the Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad & Tobago this summer.
With just over a week to go until the Opening Ceremony of the Commonwealth Youth Games, we caught up with two of our Athletics athletes, Corey Campbell and Amy Teasdale, who told us how it feels to be part of Team Scotland and what advice they would give to those looking to get involved in athletics.
Congratulations on becoming part of Team Scotland, how does it feel being chosen to represent your country at the Youth Games?
Corey: It feels great to be selected to represent Team Scotland at the Youth games and I look forward to competing out in Trinidad.
Amy: It’s a bit surreal because selection has been a goal that’s lingered in the back of my head for the past year when I first heard about the games but it has been one of those things that you feel will just stay in your head to help push you through the hard times. So having it actually materialise is still a bit crazy but it’s so exciting to have the opportunity to travel out with a multi-sport team and the ability to involve yourself in the other sports just through chatting with the team and hopefully spectating those also competing on Trinidad!
How have you been preparing for the games and what are you most looking forward to once you are out in Trinidad and Tobago?
Corey: Training has been going well recently. I have also been preparing for the extreme temperatures that we will experience out in Trinidad. I’m most looking forward to learning more about international competition and testing myself against some of the commonwealth’s best youth athletes.
Amy: Training has been going well and everyone around me has been so supportive in facilitating me getting to the games in one piece! My coach Sarah, has really put time and effort into our preparation and her boundless positivity is honestly so impressive as I am a bit guilty of stressing and overthinking the smallest things so her help definitely hasn’t gone unnoticed! Even just the sense of community and backing from my training group and gym took me by surprise when the people you train alongside every week seem so proud- it helps you remember that these opportunities are what you are putting in the work for.
My event isn’t until the end of the competition so I’m going to have a lot of time beforehand and I’ve made it my mission to try and just immerse myself in everything there is to do and see at the games in the lead up! Watching the other sports and training in a completely different format on the island isn’t something that I’m going to ever get to experience again in a youth games so I do just think I’m going to have to go with the flow and not focus solely on my race until the latter stages as to enjoy everything in the meantime!
What’s been a highlight of your sporting journey so far?
Corey: Being selected to represent GB last year for the European u18 Championships. Throughout the championships I gained valuable experience which I hope to bring with me to the CYG and beyond!
Amy: I’ve experienced being away with many teams within athletics and I think that’s made me appreciate the sport so much more because you learn about the work your competitors put in to be at the level we are at. This helps bonds which you carry through to every competition and trip while allowing you to see your competitors as friends rather than people to be fearful of!The moment I achieved the qualifying standard that secured my place in this team was very special. To have all the hard work pay off, after various setbacks this year, at our national 3k champs was just brilliant!
What piece of advice would you give to those wanting to get involved in Athletics?
Corey: Just throw yourself in by joining your local athletics club and remember that everyone starts somewhere. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills and have fun.
Amy: For people wanting to get involved, there are so many ways into the sport through amateur clubs and groups where you will instantly find like-minded people to keep you motivated. The athletic community in Scotland feels very close so there are always people you know competing and progressing to keep you engaged and involved even if you are not the one competing!
