Team England announces 83 strong athletics team to compete at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Amy Hunt, Georgia Hunter Bell and Katarina Johnson-Thompson are individual world medallists from Tokyo who will represent England in Glasgow.

At last year's World Athletics Championships, Hunt secured silver in the 200m behind Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, and in the semi-finals overtook Kathy Cook on the UK 200m all-time standings with 22.08.

Hunter Bell, two years on from her Olympic 1500m bronze in Paris, claimed 800m silver in Japan after clocking 1:54.90 behind Lilian Odira. The Brit edged out teammate and Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson to the silver medal, who ran 1:54.91 herself.

Johnson-Thompson secured her third consecutive major global medal on the bounce – she became world heptathlon champion in Budapest and claimed Olympic silver in Paris – with bronze in Tokyo.

A myriad of athletes who competed in Tokyo are also part of Team England and on the track they include Amber Anning, Zharnel Hughes, Ben Pattison and Revee Walcott-Nolan, to name just a few.

Jazmin Sawyers, a year on after making her return following an Achilles rupture, leads the long jump line up while Morgan Lake and Kimani Jack could star in the high jump. Scott Lincoln is in good form in the shot put, as is Lawrence Okokye in the discus throw and Ben East in the javelin throw.
