Another two Gold and two Silver medals from Cycling, as well as two Silver medals in the boxing ring made it nine medal-laden days on the trot for Team Wales at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Bowls
Ross Owen and Dan Salmon concluded their Men’s Pairs campaign with their final fixture of Section A against Jerey, where a 2-0 defeat confirmed their finish outside of the top two of the group.
Amy Williams had a huge game on her hands in the Women’s Singles Section C as she faced Malaysia’s world number one Emma Firyana Saroji in a winner-takes-all showdown. There was a true sense of occasion at the SEC, and Saroji showed why she’s ranked where she is as she took home a 2-0 victory, leaving Williams second in the group and outside qualification for the semi-finals. It marks the end of a fantastic debut Games for Williams, who competed every day from Day 0 across Singles and Pairs.
Cycling
First up on the track was the Men’s Spring qualifying, with Ioan Hepburn, Steffan lloyd and Jonah Jenkins racing for a place in the 1/8 finals. Jenkins placed 19th in the opening round, while Hepburn and Lloyd progressed courtesy of 11th– and 15th-placed finishes respectively. In the 1/8 finals, however, neither managed to make the last eight as they retained their qualifying positions.
James Ball and Matthew Rotherham were also back on the track, already with a Silver medal to their names, this time competing in the Men’s Tandem B Sprint. In qualifying, it was a similar story as they qualified for the semi-finals in third place; and they did even better subsequently, beating Australia in two races to qualify for the gold medal race. It was a tight affair for Gold, with Scotland’s powerful duo of Neil Fachie MBE and Aaron Pope winning the first race before Ball and Rotherham took the second; the third would go the home pairing’s way as Ball and Rotherham claimed their second Silver of the Games.
Will Perrett, Rhys Britton and Will Roberts all featured in the morning session, too, racing in the Men’s 10k Scratch and all qualifying for the final, where Britton had a DNS and Perrett and Roberts placed 13th and 14th respectively.
After a golden day on Day 8, Anna Morris lined up in the Women’s 25k Points Race final with Carys Lloyd and Jess Roberts. While Lloyd abandoned, it was an incredible race for Morris and Roberts who accumulated 66 and 52 points to claim Gold and Silver respectively.
The medal-winning duo of Emma Finucane and Rhian Edmunds were also back in action on Day 9 and, with Megan Barker, were looking for the podium in the Women’s 1000m Time Trial final. Edmunds finished ninth, Barker finished fifth and Finucane secured her third Gold of Glasgow 2026, setting a Games Record time of 01:05:285.
Judo
Two more Team Wales Judokas were in action on Day 9, with Ben Moore and Holly Devall competing.
Moore started in perfect fashion, winning his men’s -73kg Round of 16 fight against Sri Lanka’s Chamara Repiyallage by IPPON, but would be forced into the repechage as he lost to England’s Ethan Nairne. From there, a 10-1 win set him up for the bronze medal match, where he lost 10-0 to Northern Ireland’s Joshua Green, therefore placing joint fifth.
In the Women’s -70kg Round of 16, Devall faced Mauritian Noemie Evenor for a place in the quarter-final, and swiftly booked her place there with a win by IPPON. Australia’s Aoife Coughlan would be next for Devall, who then secured an overall finish of seventh as she lost in the repechage.
Athletics
Charlotte Henrich capped off her impressive Women’s 400m campaign at Glasgow 2026 with a strong performance in the final, narrowly missing the top three as she finished fourth.
Later on at Scotstoun Stadium, Tom Walley was in action in the Men’s Pole Vault final, placing fifth.
Jake Heyward, meanwhile, took to the track for the Men’s Mile final, coming agonisingly close to the podium as he finished fourth, 0.13 seconds behind bronze.
And in the Women’s Mile final, Ava Lloyd placed 6th.
Boxing
Team Wales had two finalists to enjoy in the Boxing at SEC on Day 9, with Orlando Holey-Sotomi and Connor Williams fighting for Gold.
Holley-Sotomi faced Northern Irish opposition in the form of Jon McConnell in the Men’s 70kg final, a bout that proved incredibly tight but eventually went the way of McConnell as Holley-Sotomi walked away from his debut Games with Silver.
Soon after, Williams was in the ring with England’s Isaac Okoh in the Men’s 90kg final, also securing Silver at his first taste of the Commonwealth Games.
