## A reduced program
The table reflects a deliberately smaller Games. Glasgow stepped in as host after the Australian state of Victoria withdrew in 2023 because of rising costs.[5](https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-10862/) The 2026 program contained 10 sports and six Para sports across four venues within an eight-mile corridor of the city, compared with 19 sports at [Birmingham](https://www.edgepedia.org/birmingham) 2022.[3](https://www.glasgow2026.com/medals-introduction) • [6](https://www.the-independent.com/independentpremium/sport/commonwealth-games-king-charles-glasgow-2026-b2635584.html) Eleven sports from the previous edition were dropped, including cricket T20, field hockey, badminton, rugby sevens, squash, table tennis, triathlon, beach volleyball, diving, rhythmic gymnastics, and wrestling.[7](https://www.isportsleague.com/commonwealth-games-2026/)
Within the smaller program, Para sport expanded: the 47 Para-sport medal events were a record for the Commonwealth Games.[4](https://www.itv.com/news/2026-07-23/as-glasgow-commonwealth-games-begin-why-do-they-look-so-different-this-year)
## Notable results
**First-time medallists.** Several nations and territories reached the table for the first time in Glasgow.
**Closing-day records.** On the final day, Wales' Emma Finucane became the first sprint cyclist to win four track gold medals at a single Commonwealth Games, adding the women's keirin to her team sprint, individual sprint, and 1,000 m time trial titles, while Matthew Bostock of the [Isle of Man](https://www.edgepedia.org/isle-of-man) won the men's points race, the last gold of the Games.[9](https://www.commonwealthsport.com/news/4552227/glasgow-2026-ends-with-history-across-the-commonwealth)
**India's campaign.** India finished fourth with 39 medals, its golds spread across weightlifting, para-athletics, judo, boxing, and athletics, including eight gold medals won by women.[1](https://olympic.ind.in/cwg-2026/)
