Athletics Australia fully supports the proposal made by Gold Coast Major Tom Tate today, that the South East Queensland city could step in to save the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
As witnessed in 2018, the Gold Coast demonstrated its remarkable ability to host a Games of exceptional quality, and one that left a profound impact on Australian sport.
With an opportunity to make an impact on athletes aiming for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we firmly believe that the city is in a unique position to step forward and preserve the spirit of the Commonwealth Games.
