CWG 2026: Canada wins 3 gymnastics gold in Glasgow apparatus finals
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Canada seized three of the five gold medals on offer in the Artistic Gymnastics individual apparatus finals at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Monday, 27 July, asserting themselves as the dominant force in the discipline at these Games. Felix Dolci, Jordan Carroll, and Lia-Monica Fontaine were the Canadian gold medallists, with Kate McDonald of Australia and Luke Whitehouse of England claiming the remaining two titles.
Dolci Converts Birmingham Bronze to Glasgow Gold
The standout performance of the day came from Felix Dolci in the Men's Rings, who posted a score of 13.766 to claim gold — a significant upgrade from the bronze he won at Birmingham 2022. His Canadian team-mate William Emard, who had recorded the highest score in qualifying, was narrowly edged out and had to settle for silver. Both Dolci and Emard were part of Canada's Men's Team gold-winning squad earlier in the Games. Australia's James Hardy took bronze in the Rings — his second podium finish of the day, having also placed third on the Floor.
Carroll's Perfect 15.000 Dominates Pommel Horse
Canada's Jordan Carroll delivered a commanding performance in the Men's Pommel Horse Final, registering a score of 15.000 to claim gold. The result was equally historic for hosts Scotland: Reuben Ward and Cameron Lynn both claimed silver, marking the first time in Commonwealth Games history that two Scots have stood on the podium simultaneously in Artistic Gymnastics.
Fontaine Tops Women's Vault After All-Around Lead
There was little suspense in the Women's Vault final, as Lia-Monica Fontaine — who had been the leading vaulter in the All-Around competition — backed up that form with two precisely executed vaults to claim gold. Abigail Martin of England took silver and Abigail Roper of Wales claimed bronze.
McDonald Shines in Uneven Bars; Black Completes Medal Set
Australia's Kate McDonald won the Women's Uneven Bars with a difficulty-heavy routine that earned her 14.333. Canada's Ellie Black took silver, completing her full set of Commonwealth Games apparatus medals — the Uneven Bars had been the only event in which she had previously gone without a podium finish. Emily Roper of Wales claimed bronze, just hours after her twin sister Abigail Roper had earned the same colour medal in the Vault.
Whitehouse Opens Afternoon With Floor Gold for England
Luke Whitehouse of England delivered a commanding floor routine to win the first gold of the afternoon session in the Men's Floor event. Canada's Rene Cournoyer took silver, while James Hardy — representing Scotland in this event — claimed bronze.
