The Full Story

Day five of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games was due to get under way later. The previous night's swimming finals had already produced more medals.
Adam Peaty had to settle for another bronze in the men's 50m breaststroke. He had also finished third in Saturday's 100m final, so the 50m result was his second bronze of the Games.
Brock Whiston won gold in the women's SP8 100m breaststroke. The para-swimmer's victory came on the same night as Peaty's bronze.
