Why do we not have netball in the Olympics? That feels like a colossal oversight to me, a quick, exciting sport played by millions of schoolkids to which loads of us have a frame of reference. It needs to be there, in mine.

Preamble
Awrite and welcome to the Commonwealth Games 2026 – day three!
We begin today with netball – first we’ve Wales v Scotland, then it’s into Australia v England. At the same time, we’ve the final of the men’s 60kg weightlifting, some swimming heats and some boxing – all before lunchtime.
Then, at midday, we’ve the final of the men’s all-around gymnastics, with the women’s 48kg weightlifting final also getting going, then into the evening we’ve the final of women’s all-around nastics, nine finals in the pool, and the men’s 6t5kg weightlifting final. It’s a lot and it’s all ours.
Nash!
