Commonwealth Games hailed as 'phenomenal'

The chief executive of Glasgow 2026, Phil Batty, praised the recent Commonwealth Games as "phenomenal" and demonstrated the events' ability to evolve and remain relevant for decades to come. Batty highlighted that the revamped format, featuring only 10 sports compared to 19 in Birmingham four years ago, has proven financially sustainable.

"The Games are relevant, matter and are here to last," Batty stated. He emphasized that the successful model will carry forward to the next Games in Amdavad in 2030, showing major sporting events can adapt to be fit for purpose in the future. tbzikra.org
