Glasgow 2026 Day 1 REVIEW | Duncan Scott reigns SUPREME!!

The Propulsion Swimming Podcast i LIVE straight after the final race of Day 1 at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games! Join us for a late-night, unfiltered review of an incredibly action-packed opening session at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre.

The home crowd got exactly what they wanted as Scotland’s poster boy, Duncan Scott, delivered a masterclass to win gold in the Men's 200m IM in a Games Record time of 1:56.38, holding off Lewis Clareburt and Tom Dean. We also celebrate Faye Rogers securing Scotland's first Para-swimming gold of the meet in the SM10 200m IM!

We break down Lani Pallister's dominant sub-4-minute victory in the Women's 400m Freestyle, Katie Shanahan's emotional silver medal in the 200m Backstroke, and the sheer Aussie dominance in the 4x100m Freestyle relays—highlighted by an unbelievable 47.0 split from young sprint sensation Flynn Southam.

Plus, we review the dramatic semi-finals, including Pieter Coetze's blistering speed in the 50m Backstroke, Lucy Grieve's inspiring swim in the 50m Butterfly, and the Men's 100m Breaststroke where Adam Peaty comfortably progressed while Michael Houlie utilized a completely chaotic race tactic!
