2026 COMMONWEALTH GAMES

We expect to see the beginning of three exciting races on the men’s side in the 200 fly, 100 free, and 800 free. On the women’s side, we will be treated to the first round of competition in the 50 back, 50 breast, and the 400 IM.
To kick us off, the Scottish home crowd has a chance to watch its own Duncan Scott, who has already been crowned a gold medalist this week, take the 200 fly heats. He holds the top seed in the penultimate circle-seeded heat, but in the following heat Aussie record holder Harrison Turner and defending champion Lewis Clareburt will be sure to apply pressure.
We then switch over to the lady’s decathlon event, the 400 IM, which saw an unusually speedy pre-season worldwide. Leading the charge among the Commonwealth nations was Australian Jenna Forrester, who hit 4:31.37 for a new best time earlier in the year. She represents the favorite to get the middle lane tonight, and could be surrounded by names like English teenager Amalie Smith or fellow Aussie Ella Ramsay.
A wealth of women’s speed will present itself behind the blocks between the 50 back and 50 breast. In the former, expect Mollie O’Callaghan and Lauren Cox to continue hot streaks, with veteran Kylie Masse right there in the hunt for a middle lane tonight. Later, South African Lara van Niekerk will fight to hold her Commonwealth domain in the shortest breast event from competition like youngster Sienna Toohey.
Perhaps the biggest show of the morning will come from the men’s 100 free. Kyle Chalmers is one of the event’s greatest competitors ever and the defending champion, but a center lane is far from guaranteed. Big names from off Australia’s shores like Pieter Coetze, Josh Liendo, Matt Richards, Jacob Mills will challenge, but the biggest momentum challenger comes from home. Flynn Southam has already been 47.0 this week, and the swimming world will closely watch to see how he fares in the individual event.
