Glasgow Commonwealth Games: The organising committee of the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games has unveiled the medals that will be awarded to the athletes finishing on the podium during the scaled-down edition of the Games later this year.

The medals, which have been designed to celebrate achievement, inclusion, and the city of Glasgow, have been created by award-winning artist, designer, and maker, and The Glasgow School of Art Artist in Residence, Militsa Milenkova. The medals are inspired by the city’s landmarks, coat of arms, industrial heritage, and cultural identity.

For the first time in Commonwealth Games history, the medals include braille and tactile elements, ensuring inclusion is a tangible and felt experience, the Organising Committee of Glasgow 2026 informed in a statement on Wednesday.
