The Commonwealth Games Association of the Isle of Man has confirmed the selection of three additional athletes for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

The latest athletes named are:

  • Paula Garrett — Bowls
  • Jack Kinrade — Athletics
  • Oscar Maddrell — Swimming

Their inclusion follows the Association’s announcement earlier this month of 24 athletes across athletics, bowls, cycling, gymnastics, para powerlifting and swimming.

The original squad featured leading names such as Sarah Astin, Ollie Lockley, Matt Bostock, Ben Swift, and a 12‑strong swimming team.

Para powerlifter Alfie Bezance, aged 17, was highlighted for securing a bipartite place in the Heavyweight Para Powerlifting event and for his selection to the Team GB pathway for the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics.
