AI Summary
Glasgow is set to host a streamlined version of the Commonwealth Games in 2026, welcoming athletes from 74 nations and territories to compete for gold in the Scottish city.

Events will occur across four venues in Glasgow, with the Scotstoun Stadium, accommodating 11,000 spectators, designated for athletics. The spotlight will shine on Josh Kerr, the new mile world record holder, as he represents the home crowd.
