Dame Denise Lewis Excited for Glasgow 2026

The BBC pundit shared the news on Instagram.

Dame Denise Lewis thinks a race between Josh Kerr and Jake Wightman at Glasgow 2026 would be very exciting.

Kerr and Wightman are world champions in the 1500m event. They will compete for gold in the Commonwealth Mile race. This might be their last chance to win a Commonwealth Games title. Wightman won a silver medal at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo last year.

Kerr got hurt during a race in Tokyo, but he is now training for a mile world record. Lewis is looking forward to watching Kerr and Wightman compete.

Lewis said that if both athletes are healthy, the competition will be great. She loves both athletes and thinks it will be a dream come true.

Lewis thinks the race could be very exciting, especially at the end. She wants people to buy tickets to watch the event.

Lewis used to be the president of Commonwealth Games England.

The Australian state of Victoria was supposed to host the Games, but they cancelled due to financial problems. Glasgow stepped in to host the event.

Glasgow made a big decision to host the Games at short notice. Lewis was still the president of Commonwealth Games England at the time.

The decision to host the Games was important for the athletes. They need the Games to showcase their sports and build their careers. Lewis is glad the Games are happening.

The Games will have a record number of para sport medals. Para powerlifting will be the first medal event. Lewis thinks this is a great example of what the Commonwealth Games should achieve.

Lewis also talked about the importance of the King's Baton Relay. The relay is happening from May 26-31 and is supported by Team England's partner, Geely.

The baton relay is a way to connect countries and get people excited about the Games. Lewis thinks it's a special event that brings people together.

People who participate in the baton relay will feel proud to represent their community. They can share the experience with their family and friends.

Team England is ready to win at the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Visit teamengland.org for updates.
