•One less than Birmingham 2022, but with less athletes from few sports
Team Nigeria ended the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland last night with 10 gold, seven silver and five bronze medals, one gold less than the country’s outing at the Birmingham edition four years ago.
Against all expectations, Nigeria won only one gold medal from the four projected on final day of competition as the quartet of Favour Ashe, Kanyinsola Ajayi, Nicholas Fakorede and Udodi Onwuzurike’s best of 38.12 secs in the men’s 4x100m relay fetched a bronze. Canada that was disqualified for Nigeria to step up to silver won their protest to reclaim the silver. Australia won gold in 38.07 seconds, just 0.05 seconds ahead of Nigeria.
