Scotland's Josh Kerr won men's mile gold at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games on Saturday, clocking three minutes 54.12 seconds in the event's first appearance at the Games since 1966. Australia's Cam Myers took silver in 3:55.26, with Kenya's Timothy Cheruiyot claiming bronze. Kerr, who broke the mile world record two weeks earlier, delivered the home crowd moment organisers had hoped for.
