Commonwealth Games 2026: day one updates – live

The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow have opened, with artistic gymnastics among the first events under way. Reigning Olympic pommel horse champion Rhys McClenaghan of Northern Ireland, returning from injury, is a headline act as he seeks to reclaim the Commonwealth title he won in 2018 after taking silver in Birmingham in 2022. Other notable competitors include Australia's Georgia Godwin and Canada's four-time Olympian Ellie Black, both also making comebacks from injury, while Scotland's squad led by Reuben Ward will aim for a home-crowd-inspired upset.
