Twenty-seven gold medals will be decided across swimming, Para swimming, athletics, Para athletics, artistic gymnastics, weightlifting, bowls and Para bowls on Tuesday.

Here are some of the Commonwealth stories to follow.

Nowacki chases gold after historic Jersey silver

Filip Nowacki has already ended Jersey’s 36-year wait for a Commonwealth Games medal. On Day Five, he will attempt to go one better.

The 18-year-old claimed silver in the men’s 100m breaststroke, finishing just 0.17 seconds behind Australia’s Sam Williamson to secure the island’s first medal since Colin Mallett won shooting gold at Auckland 1990.

Nowacki now returns for his strongest event, the men’s 200m breaststroke, with the chance to become Jersey’s first Commonwealth champion in 36 years.

His progress also represents a clear Commonwealth pathway. Nowacki won two silvers and a bronze at the Trinbago 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games before reaching the senior podium in Glasgow three years later.

Defending champion and Olympic gold medallist Zac Stubblety-Cook will be among those standing between him and another piece of Jersey history.

Notte challenges an Olympic champion

At just 17, Femily-Crystie Notte enters the women’s 63kg weightlifting final at the top of the Commonwealth rankings.

The Nauruan won the Oceania senior title earlier this year and now has the opportunity to make her mark at senior level on the Commonwealth Games stage.

Her principal rival is Canada’s Maude Charron, who won Olympic gold at Tokyo 2020, silver at Paris 2024 and Commonwealth titles at both Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022.

Notte’s emergence continues Nauru’s proud weightlifting tradition and gives one of the Commonwealth’s smallest nations another genuine opportunity for success on the international stage.

India’s Nirupama Devi Seram, Nigeria’s Ruth Ayodele and Malta’s Roberta Tabone are also among the contenders in a strong field.

GAPS athletes line up alongside Romly

Abdul Latif Romly has won virtually every major title available in Para athletics, but the Commonwealth Games remains the missing piece of his collection.

The Malaysian is a two-time Paralympic champion and five-time world champion in the men’s T20 long jump, but Glasgow 2026 marks his first opportunity to compete for a Commonwealth title.

The final also includes two athletes who have been supported through Commonwealth Sport’s GAPS programme.

Cameroon’s Cedric Idriss Lekezó Azamdzi attended GAPS camps in Mauritius in 2024 and Stellenbosch in 2026, while Papua New Guinea’s Jerome Bunge has participated in multiple camps.

Mauritius’ Eddy Capdor is another athlete to follow, with his country still seeking its first Commonwealth Games Para sport medal.

Anning’s journey continues from Nassau to Glasgow

Amber Anning begins her women’s 400m campaign nine years after winning bronze at the Nassau 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games.

Since then, the England athlete has become a world indoor champion and won Olympic bronze medals in both the women’s and mixed 4x400m relays at Paris 2024.

She now returns to Commonwealth competition as an established senior athlete and individual medal contender.

Defending champion Sada Williams of Barbados, Nigeria’s Ella Onojuvwevwo, Jamaica’s Dejanea Oakley and Kenya’s Mercy Oketch are also part of a highly competitive field.
