Glasgow is stepping up big time, hosting a slimmed-down version of the Commonwealth Games right now after the Australian state of Victoria backed out three years ago because of the sheer cost. This Scottish city is now the stage for athletes from 74 nations and territories all battling for gold.
The Emerald City of Glasgow’s Turn to Shine
The Games are rocking a tight 10-sport program, which includes six Para sports, keeping things focused and intense. We’re talking athletics, gymnastics, cycling, and swimming, all going down across four killer Glasgow venues. And get this: the 11,000-spectator Scotstoun Stadium is where all the athletics action is happening, and it’s also where you’ll see the biggest home star, Josh Kerr. This dude is a new mile world record holder! You know he’s going to be absolutely flying, probably shattering expectations and bringing that home crowd energy to a whole new level.
Catching All the Gold Medal Action
Here’s the kicker for anyone wanting to watch: these Games are going to be shown live across TNT Sports and HBO Max. Yeah, you heard that right, no BBC or terrestrial TV for this one, so you gotta know where to tune in.
