Ep. 320
•
It’s Day 6, the final day of racing at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games!
We kick off the finale with the Women's 200m Breaststroke, where Angharad Evans—fresh off her history-making sub-2:20 at the Aquatics GB Champs—looks to cement her superstar status with another Scottish gold. Then, we dive into what will arguably be the race of the entire Games: the Men's 200m Freestyle. It is going to be an absolute dogfight between Home Nation heroes Duncan Scott, Matt Richards, and Jack McMillan, squaring off against the Aussie depth.
We also preview a brutal Men's 1500m Freestyle showdown as Dan Wiffen looks to break a potentially fatigued Sam Short, analyze Keanna MacInnes's flawless pacing in the Women's 200m Butterfly, and highlight Para-swimming stars Bruce Dee and the Clegg brothers in the S7 and S13 Sprints. Finally, we untangle the tactical chaos of the Mixed and Men's 4x100m Medley Relays to see if England and Scotland can end the Aussie relay dominance!
