And we are underway on the second day at The Arena with the Women's Artistic Gymnastics Team Final and Individual Qualifications.

2026 Commonwealth Games - Men's Team Final and Individual Qualification

What a fantastic competition we had as the Artistic Gymnastics got underway at The Arena at the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The team from Canada won the Team Title over England, with Australia winning the bronze. It was a tough conclusion to the competition with Gabriel Langton, who was the last-minute call-up to replace Max Whitlock, suffering an awful fall from the Horizontal Bar.

Felix Dolci is the top qualifier to the All Around final, narrowly besting Cyprus' Marios Georgiou. England's Luke Whitehouse is the top qualifier to the Floor Exercise final over Canadian's Dolci and Rene Cournoyer. Scotland's own Reuben Ward has qualified in third.
