By CLAIRE ELLIOT, SCOTTISH GENERAL NEWS REPORTER Published: 22:55, 2 August 2026 | Updated: 22:55, 2 August 2026 The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow has created unforgettable memories over 11 action-packed days. From the moment the King and Queen arrived at the opening ceremony in a Tardis, audiences have enjoyed a thrilling spectacle of entertainment and sporting drama. More than 3,000 athletes from 74 nations have battled for glory as the city embraced a host of events across four venues. The home crowds have seen Team Scotland amass 13 gold, nine silver and 17 bronze medals to secure fifth place in the table. Among the highlights were Angharad Evans and Duncan Scott clinching gold in the pool, Josh Kerr romping home in the mile race on the track and Reuben Ward coming out on top in the individual all-around gymnastics competition. Even the monsoon conditions which saw the athletics track almost submerged under water last week failed to dampen the spirits with close to 500,000 spectators turning out to enjoy the Games as millions around the world tuned in on TV.
