Fin Graham won the final Team Scotland medal of a memorable Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games in the velodrome at the Glasgow International Arena.

Lining up in the C1-C3 3000m Individual Pursuit, Graham qualified quickest during the morning session, but knew it would take another world class ride if he was to win gold in front of a home crowd. His English opponent Matthew Robertson went first, improving by three seconds compared to his qualifying ride, to really lay down the gauntlet.

Graham took to the track, having already won bronze in the Kilo, knowing it would take a huge effort to take the title. Attacking his effort, Graham was ahead until around halfway, when the clock started to favour Robertson. Stopping the clock in 3.23.673, it wasn’t quite enough for the man from Strathpeffer, who had to settle for silver.

As gutted as he was post-race, Graham can be proud of his double medal winning exploits at a home Games, afterwards reflecting: “It was an amazing experience and one that I’ll remember for a long time.

“Gold was the target but you can’t win everything, it’s a shame that it was this one. I’ve done everything that I can do, we’ll look back in time, I’m sure, and be happy with it. As I was riding round the noise was incredible, it allows you to dig that wee bit deeper.”

Mark Stewart came agonisingly close to a second medal of the Games, as he finished fourth on countback in a fast and furious Men’s Points Race.

Joined be Elliot Rowe and Logan Maclean, who were both just as active as Stewart, the race was on from the get go. By the midway point both Stewart and Rowe had gained a couple of laps, along with a handful of other riders, putting them in the medal mix.

As the fast pace started to take it’s toll, Stewart switched his focus to the sprints, picking up three points and then five to move into the bronze medal position, before the cruellest of endings.

With the final sprint worth double points, the Dundonian knew he had to score; an eyeballs out final two laps securing second, but the man ahead of him, New Zealand’s George Jackson gained four more points, tying on 61 with Stewart but taking bronze on countback.

Speaking afterwards, Stewart said: Mark Stewart said: “That was a great battle for bronze and it was within reach, I ended up on the same points as George…I heard the crowd cheering and I tried. Sometimes you’re just floored by your opponent and there’s nothing that you can do, whereas when you’re tied on points you go back and analyse the little things. Maybe for the first night you have a bit of a restless sleep.

“I was beginning to think that I was a one-hit-wonder so it’s nice to come back eight years later and still be competitive. Every sport moves on, adapts, and the coaches get better, the athletes get better and the knowledge becomes more available to everyone so the depth increases. To be able to still be competitive feels nice.”

Earlier in proceedings Erin Boothman led the Scottish charge in the Women’s Elimination race, with Kate Richardson and Neah Evans alongside her once again. The latter two riders were eliminated mid-way through proceedings, both boxed in on the inside of the track with nowhere to go.

That left 19-year-old Boothman to carry the Scottish hopes, which she did impressively until she was also caught out, and had to settle for a seventh place finish. She leaves her debut Games with a brilliant pair of bronze medals in the Individual Pursuit and Scratch race, a remarkable achievement.

Iona Moir was the other Scot in action on the final evening of track action, and she finished 12^th in the Women’s Keirin.

Team Scotland’s cyclists end the Games with eight medals, two of them gold thanks to Neil Fachie MBE.

Judo

On the final day of Glasgow 2026, Judo action also came to a close, with four more Scots competing on tatami over the course of Sunday.

Sarah Adlington wrapped up a memorable Commonwealth Games career, with a final appearance in front of a home crowd, twelve years after gold in Glasgow 2014.

The two-time Commonwealth Champion was defeated in gut-wrenching fashion by a partial score in the last four seconds of her bout against Marie Loanne Durhone from Mauritius in the Women’s +78kg category, bringing an end to her involvement in the competition.

Speaking of her incredible journey at Glasgow 2026, Sarah said: “It’s hard to reflect so soon after a fight, but to come into today’s as the only one in the Commonwealth field with the chance of going for three golds in a row, I hope that shows what I have achieved in the sport. Obviously, it’s not what I came for, but that’s Judo – the margins are just so small.

“To walk out and lead Team Scotland was absolutely amazing and to see Scott winning bronze was incredible. His mum [Loretta Doyle] was the one who believed in me when I was 16 and I didn’t believe in myself. My confidence came from what she put into me.

“Thank you for everyone for coming and supporting me to try and create history today. Unfortunately we weren’t able to do that but I think it’s also good to show that whether you win or you lose the people that care about you are still there, that’s so much more than sport.”

Gregor Miller was agonisingly close to a first Commonwealth Games medal, after securing a place in the bronze medal match for the +100kg category, after making it through via the repechage route.

In the end, only a Video assisted Yuko point was the difference between Gregor and his opponent New Zealander Kody Andrews, as he has to settle for a solid fifth on debut in Glasgow.

He said: “The crowd were amazing. Across all four stands you could hear my name shouted and that really pushed me on, they have been phenomenal.”

Nicole Wood (Women’s -78kg) and Jaden Calder (-100kg) took to the Commonwealth Games stage for the first time, and did themselves proud in their Round of 16 bouts, despite missing out on projects to the Quarter final stage.

Bowls

Despite a spirited performance in front of vibrant home crowd, neither of Team Scotland’s para-bowls pairs could land a podium place on the final day of competition.

Pauline and Mary Wilson fell just short in the Para Women’s Pairs B6-B8 bronze match, losing 2-0 to Norazian Daud and Jariah Zakaria of Malaysia. It was a match of high quality bowls and from the outset the teams matched each other every step of the way. It was the Malaysian pair who were able to get over the line however, to take the bronze medal.

A nail-biting tie breaker saw Garry Brown and Stuart Sloan miss out Glasgow 2026 bronze in the Para Men’s Pairs B6-B8 to Joe Peplow and Kieran Rollings of England.
Scotland started well, but the end of the first set saw England pull away and hold off a Scotland fightback to win the set.

A tremendous opening end in the second set put Scotland 5-0 up and though the fourth end went to England, a 9-1 advantage to Scotland was more than enough to take the set and force a tie-breaker. The finale was tense and a wonderful shot by Rollings on the second last bowl couldn’t be matched and England took the medal.

Team Scotland end the Glasgow 2026 Games with 39 medals – 13 gold, 9 silver and 17 bronze, equalling the 13 gold medals won at Birmingham 2022, a tally only surpassed at Glasgow 2014.
