With the Commonwealth Games fast approaching, a host of Team GB stars look primed to bring home medals.
There are multiple Olympic champions to watch out for at Glasgow 2026, from Adam Ramsay-Peaty in the pool to Emma Finucane at the velodrome.
Here are 10 Team GB athletes to keep your eye on as they compete for their respective nations in Glasgow:
Adam Ramsay-Peaty (Team England swimming)
Three-time Olympic champion, eight-time World champion, 16-time European champion, four-time Commonwealth champion.
Adam Ramsay-Peaty’s list of accomplishments is a testament to his longevity.
And the six-time Olympic medallist can add to that list at his fourth Commonwealth Games.
He has the chance to create yet more history by becoming the first Team England swimmer to win four consecutive Commonwealth golds.
Ramsay-Peaty will go for gold in both the 50m and 100m breaststroke in Glasgow, aiming to bounce back from a fourth-placed finish in the 100m at Birmingham 2022, which ended an eight-year unbeaten run over the distance.
Duncan Scott (Team Scotland swimming)
As Britain’s most decorated swimmer, Duncan Scott has fond memories of the Commonwealth Games.
He earned gold in the 100m freestyle at Gold Coast 2018 and added to that tally with golds in the 200m freestyle and 200m medley in Birmingham four years later.
As well as two Olympic gold medals in the 4x200m freestyle at Tokyo and Paris, Duncan has won six silvers in various freestyle and medley events since Rio 2016.
And the Scot will have the home crowd right behind him in Glasgow, as he aims to win a fourth Commonwealth title.
The 29-year-old was born in the Scottish city and will return to the Tollcross International Swimming Centre - the location of his first junior competition and where a stand has been named after him for the Games.
Jack McMillan (Team Northern Ireland swimming)
Jack McMillan knows Scott well, having been part of the same Team GB relay squad who won gold in the 4x200m freestyle at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In Glasgow, however, the two will be rivals, with McMillan representing Northern Ireland.
Their Paris teammates will also be lining up for different nations (Matt Richards for Team Wales and James Guy for Team England), making the men’s 200m freestyle final on 29 July one of the most intriguing events of the Games.
After racing in the heats line-up in 2024, McMillan is now in the top four and helped the team win World Championship gold last year.
He also boasts Commonwealth Games experience, having made his debut at Birmingham 2022 and previously earning Commonwealth Youth Games bronze in 2017.
Josh Kerr (Team Scotland athletics)
Josh Kerr hit the headlines recently for breaking the mile world record at the London Diamond League on 18 July.
With the Commonwealth Games just over a week later, the Team Scotland runner will have limited time to prepare.
But Kerr backs himself against anyone.
After winning 1500m bronze in Tokyo and silver in Paris, the Team GB athlete’s long-term goal is golden glory at LA 2028.
But first, Glasgow 2026 awaits, with Kerr aiming to avenge his last-placed finish in the 1500m final at Birmingham 2022.
This time around, the new world record holder will compete in the mile, facing off against teammates Jake Wightman and Neil Gourley in a tantalising Tartan battle.
Emma Finucane (Team Wales track cycling)
Since her Commonwealth debut for Team Wales at Birmingham 2022, in which she earned bronze in the team and individual sprints, Emma Finucane’s career has skyrocketed.
In the last four years, she has won three World titles, with her first coming at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow in 2023.
At Paris 2024, the Team GB track cyclist won gold in the women’s team sprint with Katy Marchant and Sophie Capewell, as well as bronze in the keirin and the sprint.
Such success means she arrives at the Commonwealth Games under very different circumstances, as a strong favourite to win gold.
Emma Reid (Team England judo)
Another Emma gunning for Commonwealth glory is Emma Reid - and she already knows how it feels.
The Team England judoka won gold in the -78kg category at Birmingham 2022, defeating defending champion Natalie Powell in the final.
After only becoming a full-time judoka in 2021, Reid then made her Team GB debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
She comes into Glasgow off the back of a world bronze and European silver medal, and a good performance at the SEC Centre would help the 32-year-old on her way the LA 28 Olympics.
Georgia Hunter Bell (Team England athletics)
Georgia Hunter Bell is another experienced name on Team GB’s long list of successful middle-distance runners.
The 32-year-old is the reigning 1500m world indoor champion and won bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
But she has never competed in the Commonwealth Games, having taken a break from the sport for five years and only returning in 2023.
At Glasgow 2026, Hunter Bell will hope to add a Commonwealth medal to her trophy cabinet, when she races the 800m.
It is an event she has seen success in before, having stormed to world silver in Tokyo last September.
Zharnel Hughes (Team England athletics)
As the fastest British man ever, Zharnel Hughes will aim to make more history when he competes in his third Commonwealth Games.
Hughes won gold in the men’s 4x100m relay at Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022, as well as silver in the 200m in Birmingham.
In 2023, he broke both the men’s 100m and 200m British records, before winning World Championship bronze in the same year.
At Paris 2024, Hughes won bronze as part of the men’s 4x100m relay team - Team GB’s first medal in the event since Athens 2004.
When the men’s 200m race kicks off on 30 July, Hughes will hope to light up the Scotstoun Stadium and add to his ever-growing medal collection.
Emily Campbell (Team England weightlifting)
Emily Campbell won Team GB’s first ever women’s weightlifting medal at Tokyo 2020, with silver in the +87kg category.
Heading into her third Commonwealth Games, she is one of the most successful British female weightlifters.
After earning bronze at Gold Coast 2018, Campbell won it all at Birmingham 2022, lifting a Games record total of 286kg.
Also boasting a Paris 2024 bronze medal, the Team England athlete has consistently performed at the highest level.
And, as the first female weightlifter in any weight category to win six consecutive European titles, Campbell will be one of the faces of the upcoming Glasgow Games.
Ruby Evans (Team Wales gymnastics)
When Ruby Evans tumbled gracefully across Paris’ Bercy Arena two summers ago, she became the first Welsh female artistic gymnast to compete at the Olympics since Sonia Lawrence at Atlanta 1996.
The 19-year-old then won floor exercise silver at the 2025 World Championships, becoming the first Welsh gymnast to win an individual World medal.
And Evans will make more history in Glasgow when she makes her Commonwealth Games debut.
As a five-time Northern European champion for Wales, and part of two silver-medal winning European teams, Evans heads to Glasgow in great form.
She is certainly one to watch when the women’s artistic gymnastics gets under way at Glasgow’s International Arena on 25 July.
