Athletics: Fox Sports News presenter Luke Doherty joined Jo Healy to discuss Gout Gout's preparations and plans for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Gout Gout has locked in a bumper 2026 athletics schedule , confirming he intends to run for gold at next year’s Commonwealth Games.
He could also run the 200m at the Comm Games but that remains to be seen, given the 17-year-old is targeting the world junior championships the following month in Eugene, Oregon in the United States ., an agreement was reached for Gout to run in both events after lobbying from Channel 7, which is broadcasting the Commonwealth Games.
He will make his senior international debut at September’s World Championships in Japan, where he could come up against the USA’s Noah Lyles and Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo.Gout’s commitment to competing in the Commonwealth Games is another gut punch for Aussies after Dan Andrews’ Victorian government ditched its support, resulting in the event becoming modified with fewer sports.
Glasgow 2026 will once again be a fully integrated event, featuring six Para sports and a record 47 Para sport medal events, making it the largest integrated Para sport program in Commonwealth Games history.
