Commonwealth Games 2026 – Gymnastics

Artistic Gymnastics is one of 10 sports included in 2026 Commonwealth Games, to be hosted July 26 – Aug 2 in Glasgow.

Trampoline and Rhythmic were not selected.

On 18 July 2023, the Victorian state government cancelled its plans due to escalating cost projections. …

With no host, there was a risk that the Games might be postponed to 2027 or cancelled entirely. …

On 17 September 2024, it was announced that the Scottish government had agreed to host the games with financial backing from Commonwealth Games Australia. 

The scaled-down and low-cost Games will feature 10 sports taking place over four venues and no athletes’ village.

Of course, Glasgow has a history of running superb Gymnastics competitions. The city hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

introducing Double Back

My favourite progression for Double Back is backward layout 1 1/4 to flat back on soft, safe matting. ROTATION is 1st priority.

When the gymnast has a good feeling on HOW to generate rotation, next work on vertical height (time in the air) and adding the tuck. Please teach hands on the shins, not the thighs.

Australia was to host — but withdrew due to rising costs.
