Track cycling is not a compulsory sport. If it misses 2026 then too bad

However it might well reduce the price broadcasters pay for the rights.

Not really...but enough key CGF nations really like a snappy track cycling program that you will probably find someone willing to put it on, and able to get a decent crowd - England and Scotland being most obvious, but including any number of venues in Australia, New Zealand and even Trinidad.  The key is to have a core program Ghana can deliver still worthy of being called a CWG. Anything on top of that is gravy - but I'm sure CGF would happily test drive a model that included a handful of remote host events, especially in sports individual nations really care about. Gymnastics, for example, would actually go down very strongly in Cyprus, which is a bit of a commonwealth power in the sport, and doesn't get much chance to host. Road cycling, Ghana can handle, but if it could not, Rwanda certainly could. South Africa would have little trouble hosting a range of sports that might trouble Ghana - notably aquatics, gold and triathlon.

With nations not requiring to have these sports I'm not sure Netball, Gymnastics , diving will be considered. Lawn Bowls isn't expensive. Swimming venue was very poor

 

Athletics, Rugby, Tennis, Badminton, TT, Wrestling, Boxing, Taekwondo(expecting a debut or Judo), Road Cycling, Field Hockey , 3*3, Weightlifting , Triathlon, Beach Volleyball should be there.

Logistically, gymnastics and netball are relatively easy to stage - you just need a big enough sports hall. Netball could even be played outside.

I really don't think that's much of a concern right now xD

There are two 'compulsary' sports - Athletics and Swimming.

 

But there are also unspoken necessaries that are part of the character of the event - the key three are Netball, Squash and Lawn Bowls, because until now, these three had no Olympic outlet, and were very particular to the Commonwealth. Track Cycling, triathlon, sevens and hockey are in the next tranch, but those three are key to the brand, IMHO. They'll find a way - FWIW there would be no difficulty finding a host for the Netball - indeed, if the Games did end, I'd be amazed if a CW championship wasn't started in its stead

This seems sensible, so it obviously won’t happen

 

 

Glasgow could step in with a scaled-back offering should no other host be found for the 2026 Commonwealth Games. 
 

Last week, Singapore joined Malaysia in ruling out a bid, after the Australian state of Victoria withdrew as host in July because of rising costs.

 

Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS) say their proposal would involve "no significant ask of public funds".

It's a move toward the "European Championships" model that Glasgow had in 2018, and which was significantly cheaper than 2014. Which sports will survive is an important question, and what can CGF do for those that don't - e.g. separate 'accredited' commonwealth championships (weightlifting and judo technically already have these) - perhaps ad hoc events on the line India proposed pre Birmingham for shooting and archery...

I really hope so. Would be a shame to lose it.

 

If we do lose it, I'd prefer it to be in 2030 after a successful Canadian hosting. Just because I think there would be a lovely symmetry to that.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
