    Actors turned athletes, an Outlander cameo and royals: The Commonwealth Games moments you must not miss

    If only there was another international sporting event to fill the void.

    Luckily, the 2026 Commonwealth Games get underway in Glasgow from Thursday, July 23 where 74 nations and territories will compete for a spot on the podium.

    Scotland salvaged the Games after they were abandoned by Victoria midway through 2023, but that means they’re operating on a reduced program.

    Unfortunately, rugby sevens, hockey, cricket, beach volleyball and table tennis are among the sports that haven’t made the cut. But swimming, athletics, lawn bowls and netball are some of the crowd favourites to return for the 10-sport program.

    Australia topped the medal tally at Birmingham 2022, but they’ll be without two of their most notable gold medal winners – Ariarne Titmus, who retired from professional swimming, and Kaylee McKeown, who has withdrawn due to illness.

    Russia remain banned from competing as a nation but some individual athletes are permitted to participate in the Games under a neutral banner

    This year’s Winter Olympics, which officially kicked off on 6 February in Milan, features athletes from 92 different countries.

    But two will be conspicuous by their absence: Russia and Belarus.

    Both countries were suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 2023 for violating the Olympic Charter, meaning they cannot compete at the Winter Olympics.

    Olympic figure skater Adeliia Petrosian represents 'AIN.' What is AIN?

    The women's figure skating short program at 2026 Winter Olympics started today as "Blade Angels" Alyssa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito aim for gold, but there's much mystery surrounding Olympic skater Adeliia Petrosian's "AIN" Olympic designation.

    An "AIN" Olympic athlete refers to a "neutral" Olympian from Russia or Belarus who is not allowed to represent their country because they violated the Olympic truce, according to the International Olympics Committee. Russia and Belarus are banned from the 2026 Winter Olympics due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, brought on by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2022.

    At the 2026 Winter Olympics, there is no "neutral" AIN flag, and no Russian flags, no Russian anthems, and no Russian national colors. This also means no Belarusian flags, no playing of the Belarusian National Anthem, and no Belarus national colors. Here's more to know about AIN.

    IOC 'appear ready' to lift Russia Olympic ban with potential return date targeted

    A new report has suggested that leaders of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are 'moving closer' to reinstating Russia and Belarus, with a potential return date for athletes being mentioned.

    Within weeks of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the IOC and other major governing bodies moved to ban Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competition.

    The IOC has since allowed athletes from Russia and Belarus to compete as individual neutral athletes.

    Three years on and the Russian and Belarusian national teams continue to be banned from competing under their national flag, although a number of high-profile figures have urged bodies to make a change.
