Nicki Nicol: NZ Olympic Committee CEO on Glasgow hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games
Update: 2024-09-18
Description
Scotland's come to the rescue and offered to host a scaled-down version of the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
The event has been adrift after the Victorian Government pulled out of hosting, citing spiralling costs that blew the budget out to $6.6 billion.
NZ Olympic Committee CEO Nicki Nicol says cutting down the Commonwealth Games will be a big change - but this is unprecedented territory.
"On the back of that very disappointing decision from our friends across the ditch - we have had to pivot. I have huge gratitude and support for what Scotland have done."
