Capital Conversations: Commonwealth Games

Team Scotland athletes past, present and future discuss Commonwealth Games journeys and sporting success at Edinburgh.
About this Event

As Glasgow prepares to welcome the Commonwealth Games once again, join us for a special Capital Conversations event celebrating the athletes who continue to shape Team Scotland’s story.

This inspiring panel brings together three exceptional University of Edinburgh athletes at different stages of their Commonwealth Games journeys: Eilidh Doyle, who competed at Glasgow 2014 and is now retired from elite athletics; Sarah Adlington, a double Commonwealth Games gold medallist preparing to compete once again for Team Scotland; and para-swimmer Faye Rogers, Paralympic Gold medallist, who will make her Team Scotland debut at Glasgow 2026.

Together, they will reflect on their sporting journeys, experiences of competing on the international stage, and the lasting impact of balancing elite sport alongside life at the University of Edinburgh.

Event timings:

• 5:30pm – Doors open
• 6:00pm – Event begins
• Audience Q&A included within the discussion format
