Rhythmic gymnastics axed from 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

The 14th Commonwealth Games, set to take place in Glasgow in the summer of 2026, will be held without rhythmic gymnastics.

According to Idman.biz, the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will feature a significantly reduced sports lineup, dropping popular events like cricket, hockey, badminton, wrestling, and rugby sevens.

Scheduled for July 23 to August 2, the Games will include only ten sports: athletics, swimming, artistic gymnastics, track cycling, netball, weightlifting, boxing, judo, lawn bowls, and 3x3 basketball.

This streamlined program emphasizes a focus on competition quality and participant engagement, but has disappointed fans and athletes in the omitted disciplines.
