Glasgow 2026 Day 5 REVIEW | Southam downs Chalmers and Nowacki Shines

We are live wrapping up Day 5 of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and after a quiet night for the home nations yesterday, tonight the roof came off Tollcross!

The Propulsion Swimming Podcast break down an absolutely electric session of racing. We dive into a titanic Men's 100m Freestyle clash where Flynn Southam proved he's the real deal, and Matt Richards got the better of Kyle Chalmers for the first time. We also celebrate an incredible 200m Breaststroke Gold for Jersey’s Philip Navaki, Lewis Clareburt defending his 400m IM title (complete with an epic poolside Haka!), and a gutsy 50m Breaststroke bronze for Imogen Clark.

Plus, we talk through a wild Mixed 4x100m Medley Relay featuring a potentially world-record-threatening backstroke split from Pieter Coetze, and a ridiculous comeback anchor leg from Duncan Scott to secure bronze for Scotland.
