Channel 7’s Glasgow 2026: Australia wins men’s 4x100m relay gold after 52-year wait – Australia has won the men’s 4x100m relay at Glasgow 2026, ending a 52-year Commonwealth Games wait for gold in the event.
Lachlan Kennedy, Josh Azzopardi, Calab Law and Rohan Browning combined for the victory, with Browning anchoring Australia home in a tight finish.
For Australian viewers, the result gives Channel 7 one of the standout athletics moments of the Games. It also turns a sprint program that has been building across Glasgow into a historic relay breakthrough.
Australia ends long relay wait
Australia’s previous Commonwealth Games gold in the men’s 4x100m relay came in 1974. The Glasgow result breaks that drought and gives the current sprint group a defining team moment.
The quartet delivered clean baton changes before Browning held his form on the anchor leg to secure the win.
The victory adds to a strong Australian athletics campaign and gives the relay squad a major result on the international stage.
Sprint depth delivers for Australia
Kennedy has been one of Australia’s headline sprint performers in Glasgow, while Azzopardi, Law and Browning turned that individual speed into a team result.
For Browning, the anchor leg also carried extra significance after Australia’s relay frustration at Birmingham 2022.
