大英國協會運動會重返蘇格蘭格拉斯哥，該市主辦了2026年賽事。
The Commonwealth Games have returned to Glasgow, Scotland, as the city hosts the 2026 edition.
這場活動於7月23日至8月2日舉行，迎接了來自74個國家和地區的3000名運動員。
Running from July 23 to August 2, this event welcomes 3,000 athletes representing 74 nations and territories.
格拉斯哥在澳大利亞維多利亞州因預算限制退出後，臨危受命擔任替補主辦城市。
Glasgow stepped in as a replacement host after the Australian state of Victoria withdrew due to budget constraints.
與設下公眾參與高標準的2014年大規模賽事不同，2026年的賽事刻意打造得更為精簡。
Unlike the large-scale 2014 Games, which set a high bar for public engagement, the 2026 event is intentionally compact.
主辦單位採用了「精品」模式，特色在於精簡至10項運動的賽程，並將選手安置在市內各處的旅館中，而非統一集中在運動員村。
Organizers have adopted a 'boutique' model, featuring a streamlined program of 10 sports and housing competitors in hotel hubs across the city rather than a centralized village.
這種方式突顯了對永續發展與成本效益的承諾。
This approach highlights a commitment to sustainability and cost-efficiency.
藉由運用2014年成功賽事所留下的基礎設施與「肌肉記憶」，格拉斯哥得以在極短的時間內籌辦這場國際賽事。
By utilizing the infrastructure and 'muscle memory' from the successful 2014 games, Glasgow has been able to deliver this international event at a remarkable pace.
此次二度擔任主辦方鞏固了格拉斯哥在創新運動管理方面的領導地位，證明了主要全球競賽毋需擴大至過往的歷史規模，便能達到永續、高效且具有深遠影響力的成效。
This second hosting role cements Glasgow’s reputation as a leader in innovative sports management, proving that major global competitions can be sustainable, efficient, and deeply impactful without needing to scale to previous historic proportions.
