Top of the Table: How the Final Standings Shook Out
Australia led by a distance. With 70 golds and 171 medals overall, their haul outstripped the next three nations combined. The pool did the heavy lifting — Australia won 37 golds and 76 medals in swimming alone — but they also topped the athletics, track cycling and 3×3 basketball medal tables.
England finished second — a tale of silver. Their 29 golds sat well behind Australia, but a huge stack of 45 silvers underlined a team that repeatedly finished just short at the wall and on the mat. On total medals (110) they were comfortably second; the gold-first ranking simply reflected those near-misses.
Canada took third with 19 golds and 62 medals, edging clear of the India–Scotland cluster on gold count.
India and Scotland tied on 13 golds and 39 medals, with India ranked fourth on the silver tie-break (17 to Scotland’s 9). For the hosts, fifth place and a roar-driven 39-medal haul was a strong return on home soil.
Four nations celebrated historic firsts: Dominica won its first-ever Commonwealth gold (Thea LaFond, women’s triple jump), while Rwanda, Tuvalu and Games debutant Gabon each won their first-ever Commonwealth medal.
India at Commonwealth Games 2026
India finished fourth with 39 medals — 13 gold, 17 silver and 9 bronze. It was a smaller haul than Birmingham’s 61, but a strong showing given that five of India’s most reliable medal sources — badminton, wrestling, hockey, squash and table tennis — were absent from the Glasgow programme entirely.
Weightlifter Mirabai Chanu opened India’s account with gold in the women’s 48 kg, her third successive Commonwealth Games title, before boxing carried the campaign with a record 10 medals, including seven golds — the most by any nation in the sport at a single Commonwealth Games. India also enjoyed its best-ever Games in judo (two golds and a bronze, including its first-ever judo golds through Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh) and its best-ever Para campaign (seven medals, three of them gold).

Records Broken at Glasgow 2026

- Emma Finucane (Wales) became the first cyclist ever to win all four sprint events at a single Commonwealth Games — team sprint, individual sprint, 1000m time trial and keirin — setting a Games record along the way.
- Louise Hoskins (England) became the oldest Commonwealth Games gold medallist at 76 years and 173 days, in the Para-bowls women’s pairs.
- New Zealand ended Australia’s long grip on netball gold, winning the final 56–48.
How the Medal Table Ranking Works
The Commonwealth Games medal table is ordered by gold medals first. If two nations have the same number of golds, the one with more silver ranks higher; if still level, bronze decides it. Nations tied on all three share the same rank and are listed alphabetically by their three-letter code. This is why a nation with fewer total medals can rank above one with more — golds are what count. It is also why India (13 gold, 17 silver) finished ahead of Scotland (13 gold, 9 silver) despite an identical 39-medal total.
