Ellie Black – Commonwealth Games champion ’26

1) Ellie Black – 53.050 (CAN)
2) Breanna Scott – 52.900 (AUS)
3) Lia-Monica Fontaine – 52.800 (CAN)

Full results.

Ellie Black, age-30, looking for her 5th Olympic Games in Los Angeles, is a legend.

Great athlete. But even more impressive as a positive role model and leader.

Ellie hit 8 / 8 so far in Glasgow. Consistency is one of her many, many strengths.

With Lia-Monica another very strong all-arounder, this may be Canada’s strongest Olympic team contender yet.
