The Welsh team’s Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games track cycling campaign was brought to a memorable close on the final day of competition at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, with Carmarthenshire’s Emma Finucane completing a remarkable four-gold haul and the Welsh squad rounding off an exceptional week of racing.

With 15 gold medals available across the final day of the Games, five track cycling titles remained up for grabs, as Welsh riders once again featured across the programme.

Emma Finucane capped off a flawless Commonwealth Games campaign by storming to gold in the Women's Keirin, securing her fourth gold medal in as many events. This result crowns her as the only sprint cyclist to ever win four golds at the same Commonwealth Games and solidifies her as the “once in a generation” talent that teammate Lowri Thomas described her as.

The Welsh rider progressed comfortably through the earlier rounds before producing another dominant ride in the final, underlining her status as one of the standout performers of Glasgow 2026.

There was further Welsh representation in the six-rider final, with Lowri Thomas producing an impressive performance to reach the medal race after successfully navigating the opening rounds. Thomas rode strongly to finish sixth, meaning Wales placed two riders in the Keirin final - a testament to the depth and quality within the squad.

Rhian Edmunds, who had already enjoyed a hugely successful Games, was unfortunately unable to continue her medal campaign after crashing in the opening round.

Three Welsh riders lined up for the Women's Elimination Race, with all producing determined performances in a highly competitive field.

Anna Morris battled her way to sixth place, narrowly missing out on the medals, while Jess Roberts finished in 11th after another committed display.

Teenager Carys Lloyd continued to impress on her Commonwealth Games debut, riding confidently to secure a top eight finish in her final session of racing and further highlighting her exciting potential.

Steffan Lloyd was the highest-placed Welsh rider in the Men's 1000m Time Trial, producing an excellent ride to finish sixth overall.

Rhys Britton and Jonah Jenkins also delivered strong solo performances, placing 11th and 13th respectively as Wales rounded off another competitive event.

The final gold medal of the Games was contested in the Men's Points Race, with Wales represented by William Perrett, William Roberts and William Salter.

The young rider Salter won his qualifying heat in style, while Perrett and Roberts also safely progressed to the final, ensuring Wales had a strong presence in the last championship race of Glasgow 2026. The trio finished the Games off strongly in the tactical and gruelling 160 lap race by crossing the line in 6th, 11th and 14th respectively.

Alongside the medal success achieved throughout the week, Glasgow 2026 also showcased the exciting future of cycling in Wales.

Commonwealth Games debutants including Carys Lloyd, Jonah Jenkins, Ioan Hepburn, Rory Gravelle and Will Salter all produced performances that promise plenty for the years ahead, gaining invaluable experience on one of the sport's biggest stages.

As attention begins to turn towards the next Commonwealth Games in Amdavad, India in 2030, the future looks bright for Team Wales.

The Welsh squad finishes Glasgow 2026 second in the cycling medal table, totalling 11 medals, an outstanding achievement for a small nation that once again demonstrated its world-class talent, exceptional team spirit and strength in depth.

Throughout the week, commentators repeatedly praised the camaraderie and unity within the Welsh camp-qualities that helped contribute the nation's record breaking Commonwealth cycling success.
