Australia Dominates The 2026 Commonwealth Games Medal Tally
Australia’s Commonwealth Games athletes are making us proud in Glasgow with a dominating performance that has them leading the 2026 medal tally.
Australia has currently won 51 gold, 24 silver, and 35 bronze medals for a total of 110, putting the team well clear at the top of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games medal table.
Australia’s campaign has been built on a dominant swimming program, but the team’s success has stretched well beyond the pool. The Dolphins have delivered repeated gold-medal performances, while athletics, artistic gymnastics, track cycling, weightlifting, 3×3 basketball and wheelchair basketball have all added to a commanding national tally.
In the pool, Lani Pallister has been one of the headline acts, winning gold in the women’s 400m, 800m and 1500m freestyle events. Sam Short has matched that star power on the men’s side, taking gold in the 400m, 800m and 1500m freestyle as well as sharing in the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay victory.
Meg Harris has also been central to Australia’s swimming dominance, collecting gold in the women’s 50m and 100m freestyle and helping the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay and mixed 4x100m freestyle relay to victory. Mollie O’Callaghan, Alex Perkins, Jenna Forrester, Flynn Southam, Kai Taylor, Kyle Chalmers, Sam Williamson, Cameron McEvoy, Tim Hodge, Alex Saffy, Jenna Jones, Beau Matthews, Lakeisha Patterson, Kirralee Hayes and Iona Anderson have all contributed gold medals across able-bodied and Para swimming events.

Australia’s athletics team has produced some of the Games’ most memorable stories. Rose Davies completed a historic distance double by winning both the women’s 10,000m and 5,000m, edging teammate Jessica Hull in a thrilling finish over the shorter distance. Ky Robinson won the men’s 10,000m, while Eleanor Patterson claimed gold in the women’s high jump.
Artistic gymnastics has been another bright spot. Georgia Godwin, Breanna Scott, Kate McDonald, Ruby Pass and Emily Whitehead won the women’s team event, before individual gold medals followed through Kate McDonald on uneven bars, Breanna Scott on balance beam and Jesse Moore on parallel bars.
Australia’s depth has also shown in other sports. Eileen Cikamatana won the women’s 86kg weightlifting title with a Games record total, while the women’s 3×3 basketball team beat Uganda in the final and the men’s 3×3 wheelchair basketball team defeated England to defend their Commonwealth title. On the velodrome, Georgia Baker, Claudia Marcks, Alyssa Polites, Felicity Wilson-Haffenden and Sophie Edwards won the women’s 4,000m team pursuit, while Ryan Elliott, Leigh Hoffman and Daniel Barber took gold in the men’s team sprint.
