The Propulsion Swimming Podcast i LIVE straight after the final race of Day 1 at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games! Join us for a late-night, unfiltered review of an incredibly action-packed opening session at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre. The home crowd got exactly what they wanted as Scotland’s poster boy, Duncan Scott, delivered a masterclass to win gold in the Men's 200m IM in a Games Record time of 1:56.38, holding off Lewis Clareburt and Tom Dean. We also celebrate Faye Rogers securing Scotland's first Para-swimming gold of the meet in the SM10 200m IM! We break down Lani Pallister's dominant sub-4-minute victory in the Women's 400m Freestyle, Katie Shanahan's emotional silver medal in the 200m Backstroke, and the sheer Aussie dominance in the 4x100m Freestyle relays—highlighted by an unbelievable 47.0 split from young sprint sensation Flynn Southam. Plus, we review the dramatic semi-finals, including Pieter Coetze's blistering speed in the 50m Backstroke, Lucy Grieve's inspiring swim in the 50m Butterfly, and the Men's 100m Breaststroke where Adam Peaty comfortably progressed while Michael Houlie utilized a completely chaotic race tactic! * * * Hosted on Acast.

Women’s 400 m Freestyle Final Review3:56 – 6:22

3:56

Let's get straight into the racing then.

3:57

Let's talk the first final of the night, the women's 400 meters freestyle final.

4:03

Uh, as expected, Dan, Lanny Palles- Yeah.

4:05

Good choice ... runs away with this.

4:07

Um, she wins in a 3:59.56. Erica Fairweather in second and Forrester in third.

4:14

Uh, yeah.

4:15

Mm.

4:15

Expected one, two, three heading into this meet.

4:18

Lanny Palles is the class.

4:19

She's got bigger fish to fry later on this summer.

4:22

Um- Mm ... she pulled away in the last 100 meters.

4:23

Her high...

4:24

She had a really high stroke rate throughout the whole of the race, which, um, I took note of.

4:30

Yeah.

4:30

To me, the biggest talking point of this, not a single Brit in the final.

4:35

Um, it's a bit of a shame, and I know the names who were in the heats, Amalie Bloxham, Lucy Fox, Amelie Smith, um, Evie Mackey.

4:44

They're coming through the sport, don't get me wrong.

4:47

Well, they're all very young.

4:47

Yeah.

4:47

But you look at these times and you go, "Ah, Freya Colbert could have medaled here." I, I think four or five- There's a chance ...

4:54

the 4-3 we thought was a target this year for her.

4:57

Yeah.

4:57

Um, clearly the end relay took a little bit of priority, although three hours between swims should've been okay.

5:04

Um- Yeah ...

5:05

but maybe just targeting the 200 at this.
