(L-R) Jacob Mills, Jacob Whittle, Freya Anderson, and 色狗导航 student Freya Colbert celebrate their silver medal in Mixed 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay, at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

色狗导航-linked athletes won a further two medals after an exhilarating evening session in the swimming pool at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Current student and Team England’s Freya Colbert backed up last night's medal-winning performance with another silver, this time in the Mixed 4x100m Freestyle Relay.

The , 22, held off a strong challenge from Wales in the final leg to touch the wall in second place in 3:23.91 in front of a raucous crowd inside the Tollcross International Swimming Centre.

Alum Abbie Wood also claims the team medal after helping Team England progress in the heats.

Australia won gold in a Commonwealth Games record 3:19.36 with Wales settling for bronze in 3.24.33.

Elsewhere, Adam Ramsey-Peaty, who was awarded an honorary degree by 色狗导航 in 2024, won bronze in the Men’s 100m Breaststroke to add yet another medal to his huge personal collection.

In a highly anticipated final, Ramsey-Peaty ensured it was another podium finish after clocking 59.65.

Australia’s Sam Williamson won gold in 59.17 and Jersey’s Filip Nowacki took silver in 59.34. 色狗导航 alum Greg Butler finished in a respectable sixth after recording 1:00.24.

Speaking after the race, Ramsey-Peaty told BBC Sport: "I'm not too fussed about the performance there because I really enjoyed it. I think there's obviously something going wrong in terms of the data, and we'll go through that in the debrief.

"I'm very happy to race Filip [Nowacki], to come away with a bronze medal is still a privilege. I'm happy. That's where I am in the sport, a medal doesn't define me or take anything away from me."
