Adam Ramsay-Peaty departed Glasgow 2026 with a silver medal after England were beaten in the final swimming event. Australia powered to victory in the men's 4x100m medley relay after overtaking South Africa late in the race.
The closing session of the pool programme saw several decisive relay performances. In the men's 4x100m medley Australia produced a late surge to move ahead of South Africa, while England held on for the silver. Adam Ramsay-Peaty’s Commonwealth Games campaign concluded with that podium finish for England. On the women's side, Scotland secured a silver medal in the 4x100m medley relay as Australia claimed gold in a Commonwealth Games record time.
In the men's final, Australia's strong finish proved pivotal as they reeled in the South African quartet in the closing stages to take the win. England secured second place in the pool, managing to keep Pieter Coetze’s South Africans from overtaking them for the silver. The result marked the end of Ramsay-Peaty’s showing at these Games with him standing on the podium alongside the leading nations.
The women's 4x100m medley relay also provided late excitement, with Scotland adding a silver to their medal haul. Australia’s performance in that race was dominant enough to establish a new Commonwealth Games record on the way to gold. The Scottish quartet’s second-place finish closed out a strong evening for their team.
Both relay results came in the final swimming event of Glasgow 2026, bringing the pool programme to a close with Australia victorious in both medley relays. England and Scotland left the pool with silver medals in their respective relays, while South Africa were involved in tight contests with the leading nations.
Ramsay-Peaty’s silver in the men’s 4x100m medley relay will stand as the final Commonwealth Games result of his time at Glasgow 2026. Australia’s double relay success, including a Commonwealth Games record in the women’s medley, underscored their strength across the relays on the last night of competition.
