Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Introduce Braille-Designed Accessible Medals
For the first time in Commonwealth Games history, Glasgow 2026 medals feature braille and tactile elements to enhance accessibility for visually impaired athletes. The medals, shaped as a Reuleaux triangle inspired by Glasgow's coat of arms, incorporate patterns from the Finnieston Crane and Scottish tartan. Designed by Militsa Milenkova, the medals reflect Glasgow's heritage and the Games' emphasis on inclusion, highlighted by a record 47 gold medals across six Para sports within a total of 215 gold medals.
