Gibraltar’s participation in Glasgow 2026 beyond just competing

Gibraltar’s participation in the Commonwealth Games extended beyond competition, with Gibraltar Commonwealth Games Association President Harry Murphy presenting the silver medal to Filip Nowacki from Jersey. The latter finishing second in the men’s 100m breaststroke final behind Australia’s Sam Williamson. Gibraltar and Jersey are both members of the Island Games.
Gibraltar’s involvement in the Games continues on Sunday with the team’s first participation in the boxing competition.
Ewan Gracia will compete at 21:15 in the Men’s 65kg Round of 16, where he will face Malawi’s Elias Bonzo.
The 22-year-old Gibraltar boxer received a bye into the Round of 16, setting up the contest against the 24-year-old Bonzo.
The Malawian progressed to the Round of 16 after the referee stopped his preliminary bout against Antigua and Barbuda’s 32-year-old Alton Ryan in the second round on Friday.
Sunday will also see Gibraltar’s swimming team return to the pool, with two 14-year-old swimmers competing in the morning session.
Katie Maddocks and Katie Green will both compete in the women’s 100m freestyle heats.
