McColgan hints at future Commonwealth Games participation
Summary

Eilish McColgan, unable to compete in the Commonwealth Games women's 10,000m final due to a foot injury, expressed hope for one more participation in future events. The 35-year-old, who previously secured gold at the last Games, sustained a stress fracture during the London Marathon in April. Though sidelined this year, McColgan plans to stay involved in the Glasgow events and praised the organizing efforts of the host city. She highlighted how Glasgow's approach could serve as a beneficial model for future Games, especially as she considers a potential return at the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad, should her marathon event be included.
