Commonwealth Games 2026, Morning Session, Friday July 31: Keeping calm and collected

Team England’s athletes successfully negotiated a tricky morning session that involved re-runs and re-measurements. For the decathletes that involved the 110 Hurdles first thing and the always tense pole vault just before lunch and a Games record that wasn’t in the discus. Fortunately, it was all much calmer for the long jumpers. It was a case of, job done qualify and return to the hotel for the England trio. And finally, there was a little bit of – potentially unwanted – history as the T54 1500 metres final had to be re-run. Fortunately, for the winner, the result was the same.

The women’s mile featured for the first time ever at the Games. Back when the men’s mile last featured in 1966, women didn’t run further than half a mile and the metric mile – 1500 metres – debuted at the Edinburgh Games in 1970. As a result, the crowd were treated to not just a historic first mile, they also witness two Games’ records as the second heat was faster than the opening one.
