The 10-sport Games programme will based at four venues within an eight-mile corridor of the city and be held across 10 days from 23 July to 2 August.<\/p>\n
While the overall number of sports has halved from 20 in Birmingham in 2022 to combat rising hosting costs and time demands, the schedule remains intense.<\/p>\n
A total of 26 cycling golds will be fought for at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, with eight of those in Para-track cycling. That is double the amount on offer three years ago.<\/p>\n
And 56 will be on offer at Tollcross International Swimming Centre, with the men’s 800m and women’s 1500m freestyle races included for the first time.<\/p>\n
Omitting the 1500m – in which Scotland’s Josh Kerr and Laura Muir are Olympic medallists – is a surprise move.<\/p>\n
It has been replaced by an event last run in 1966.<\/p>\n
Organisers say the Commonwealth Mile – the equivalent of approximately 1600m – is a tribute to ‘The Miracle Mile’ run at the 1954 staging in Vancouver.<\/p>\n
On that occasion, England’s Roger Bannister and Australian John Landy competed two months after the former became the first athlete to run a sub-four-minute mile.<\/p>\n
“The mile is the quintessential Commonwealth athletics event whose return I very much welcome,” said World Athletics President Sebastian Coe, who suggested the event to Glasgow organisers.<\/p>\n
“From 1930 through to 1966, the mile was the blue-riband event of each Games and the magic of the mile continues to resonate.<\/p>\n
“A ticket to watch its Commonwealth final will be one of the must-have seats in Glasgow next year.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
