Canada’s five athletes to watch at 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland
Canada’s medal-winning veterans lead a five-athlete preview as Glasgow prepares for the 2026 Commonwealth Games and a city-centre hotel evacuation affects competitors.
- The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, officially begin Thursday, July 23, with five prominent Canadian athletes expected to anchor the national team's performance through August 2.
- Olympic 200-metre champion Andre De Grasse returns to the Commonwealth stage for the first time since 2014, while Olympic gold and silver medallist Maude Charron seeks a weightlifting three-peat following victories in 2018 and 2022.
- Joining the team are hammer thrower Ethan Katzberg, four-time Olympian Ellie Black, and five-time Olympic medallist Kylie Masse, who leads the swimming contingent into competition.
