A sculpture on Glasgow Green created by artist Jason Paterson to mark the city's hosting of the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Given the Glaswegian propensity of giving things nicknames, I'm amazed this hasn't gained the obvious one of the 'Big G' Spot.

Lachie Stewart: Scottish Commonwealth Games gold medallist dies aged 81 - BBC Sport
Given all the sights to see across the city, I really don't unserstand why Glasgow doesn't have a full marathon any more (the last one was run in 1988) as many smaller towns and cities manage to have one. Maybe next year's Commonwealth Games could provide the perfect platform to re-launch the Glasgow Marathon.

I love running around Glasgow as you see many different sights. Today's run included red sandstone tenements looking amazing in the sunshine, tar or bitumen melting in the heat, a roe deer swimming across the Forth and Clyde Canal, bridges over the Clyde, some beautifully painted murals and right at the end the P/S Waverley heading doon the watter.

What do you get if you take gospel music, strip it of any genuine soul or joy, and use it for 1980s-style commercial propaganda?

Glasgow confirmed host of 2026 Commonwealth Games, rescuing the event with 10 sports across four venues - twelve sports have been dropped from the program @glasgow_2026 @theCGF #Glasgow2026 #Scotland #CommonwealthGames
Glasgow has been confirmed as the host of the troubled 2026 Commonwealth Games, with the Scottish city staging a slimmed-down version of the troubled multisport event. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/10/22/more-sports/glasgow-commonwealth-games/ #moresports #commonwealthgames #glasgow #scotland
The fact you have a purpose-built hockey centre and don't include it, or one of the highest interest (and of universality) in rugby sevens, really confirms this Commonwealth Games has no actual interest or need to happen, and is only being done for the sake of it.
It is the week that saw confirmation that the 2026 Commonwealth Games - that were to have been held in Victoria - will now be held in Glasgow. #eventprofsau #commonwealthgames

So Glasgow is hosting the first/last cutback Commonwealth Games. Wondering just which sports will be taking part and venues used. Scotstoun Stadium will be getting a seating upgrade, hopefully one that results in a bigger pernament number.
The Commonwealth Games (ignoring its background history) is a fun event to watch.
But it seems we're just putting off its death by slimming it to nothing, just to have it happen.
If it is just four venues for only 10 sports, athletics and swimming will be two, with presumably an indoor venue and I suspect track cycling.
Rugby sevens will probably feature in the athletics stadium, but field hockey and women's cricket (among others) won't.
