He praised the efforts of local authorities and organisers for securing the Games once again. “The legacy left by the 2014 Games was transformative for Glasgow’s sports landscape, and I have no doubt that 2026 will be even more remarkable,” he said.

Sprung Gym Flooring is eager to play its part in supporting Glasgow’s preparations and ensuring that the athletes and spectators experience the very best.”
