After 10 days of action across 10 sports, a grand total of 215 gold medals have been handed out at Glasgow 2026.
Australia have dominated the medal table, winning 70 golds – 16 more than the combined total of England, hosts Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland put together – and 171 medals overall.
England finished second with 29 golds, ahead of Canada and India, while Scotland (13 golds) were fifth, Wales ninth (nine golds – four of them belonging to cyclist Emma Finucane) and Northern Ireland 12th (three golds).
In all, 45 nations or territories out of 74 won medals.
Australia won a staggering 37 gold medals and 76 in total in the swimming pool, with Meg Harris leading the way with six individual golds.
They also finished top of the athletics, track cycling and 3×3 basketball medal tables.
“We just really love the Commonwealth Games,” said Sam Short, who won four swimming golds. “That and the Olympics is what Australia seems to live for.
“We’ve just been flogging ourselves in training all year. This is the target. We’ve got Pan Pacs (Pan Pacific Swimming Championships) in a couple of weeks but the general public in Australia don’t really care about that, it’s all Commonwealth Games.
“Representing the Green and Gold is a big honour.”
Le Clos sets all-time medal record
South Africa swimmer Chad le Clos became the most successful athlete in the history of the Games when he won his 21st Commonwealth medal with bronze in the men’s 4x100m medley relay.
The 34-year-old, who made his Games debut at Delhi 2010, moved one clear of fellow swimmer Emma McKeon of Australia.
“Looking back on the whole Commonwealth Games journey, from India through to now, I never thought I’d be standing here,” Le Clos said.
“To stand alone in history is unbelievable.”
Hoskins, 76, becomes oldest gold medallist
Another record-breaker was 76-year-old Louise Hoskins who became the oldest Commonwealth Games gold medallist, winning the Para-bowls women’s pairs title at the age of 76 years and 173 days.
Partnered by 44-year-old Serena Bonnell, Hoskins broke the record held by Scotland’s George Miller, who was 75 when he won Para-bowls mixed pairs gold at Birmingham 2022.
“It just goes to show anyone can do it ,” said Hoskins. “Young, old – bowls is for anyone.”
Hoskins’ gold was one of a record 141 Para-sport medals awarded in Glasgow.
