ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Commonwealth Games 2026 will be taking place next week, after much controversy surrounding its host and whether it would go ahead at all. Glasgow will now welcome athletes to compete in the 23rd edition of the Games, stepping in after Victoria, Australia withdrew due to escalating costs. The number of events has also been drastically reduced, with only 10 events on offer compared to the previous edition in Birmingham in 2022. Do all these issues point to the declining relevance of the Commonwealth Games? We unpack this and assess Malaysia's chances at the Games with Ajitpal Singh, Sports Editor at the New Straits Times.Image Credit: Wikimedia.org
