Come on @dringpaul , join in a bit
I really hope this is confirmed soon. Glasgow was fabulous in 2014. Such a beautiful and welcoming city. This would be a lovely excuse to get back up there
Exclusive: Some good news for the Commonwealth Games, I am hearing. Multiple people have told me during the @olympics at @paris2024 that @thecgf have reached an agreement with Scotland for Glasgow to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games. They will replace Victoria, who withdrew last year. An announcement is due shortly after the end of these Olympics - maybe even this week.
Steve Backley just said 'championchips' on the @BBCSport Olympic commentary. Not a big thing but triggered a discussion about what is the 'champion chip'
I love the Olynpic Games but this certainly a rival for it
I cannot say how relieved I am to see someone else saying this.
I've been boring on for a fee years about this. It would have such a positive impact on 'minority sports' (anything not football).
It would generate narrative and awareness of sports, especially amongst children
This may be an unpopular opinion on Olympic sports.
Why do the swimmers get to do it in so many different ways? Four different ways to do the same thing at each distance.
New sports are forced to limit athletes and medals - see sport climbing at Tokyo 2020.
Feels unfair to me
Thanks @FlintBishop
Great to have you along again after a six year break. We won't leave as long this time

🏅🏆 What an incredible day at Derby Business Games! 🏆🏅
In support of @safesoundgroup, the event brought local companies together to relive their childhoods with fun sporting challenges inspired by traditional school sports days.
We're already looking forward to next year!
An early start to a busy day but 7.05am is a good time to vote.
Without wishing to be too pompous, if you vote, please vote. Even if you spoil your paper because you don't like any of them, that is making a point.
Thanks @smithpship for your sponsorship.

Well, I was absolutely not ready for @jazampawfarr at the @YouthSportTrust School Games Summit.
A really fabulous speaker with a powerful message. As an adoptive parent to two powerful girls from close to your home, it hit a lot of spots for me.
Thank you.
Love this, @i_iratus
