Sprinting has always been one of the biggest draws of the Commonwealth Games, and Glasgow 2026 is no different, even with a trimmed sports programme. Traditional sprint powerhouses like Jamaica, England, Nigeria and Australia have fielded strong squads across the 100m, 200m and relay events at Scotstoun Stadium.
For India, sprinter Animesh Kujur has been one of the names to watch, representing the country’s growing ambitions in short-distance track events alongside a young and developing sprint programme. India’s traditional strength at the Commonwealth Games has been in throws, jumps and increasingly middle and long distance running — see our men’s athletics medal winners round-up for those results — so a strong showing from its sprinters would mark a notable shift.
Because several sprint finals at Glasgow 2026 were still to be contested as the Games entered their final days, this piece will be updated with confirmed times and placings as each event concludes. For the standout results confirmed so far, take a look at the best athletics moments of the Games.
