Glasgow 2026 opens next week on a leaner budget, but Hoy and McClenaghan say the racing still sells itself

With one week to go, the 2026 Commonwealth Games open in Glasgow in a deliberately stripped-back format. Chris Hoy is bullish on the product; Rhys McClenaghan is still tuning his new pommel routine. Both see the sport doing the heavy lifting.

Desk note: Monexus framed this on the athletes rather than on the federation's financial crisis, on the view that the racing is the only durable argument left for a slimmed-down multi-sport event. The wire led with Hoy's endorsement; we let McClenaghan's working draft carry the editorial counter-weight.
