Ten judo champions have been crowned across the first two days of competition at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. Canada and England each hold three gold medals, with India winning two and Malaysia and Mauritius taking one apiece.
Five lighter categories were contested on the opening day. Harsh Singh won the men's under-60 kg title for India, while teammate Asmita Dey took gold in the women's under-48 kg category. Canada's Julien Frascadore won the men's under-66 kg division and Evelyn Beaton claimed the women's under-52 kg title. Acelya Toprak delivered England's first judo gold in the women's under-57 kg category.
England added two more titles on day two through Ethan Nairne in men's under-73 kg and Kelly Petersen-Pollard in women's under-70 kg. Laurence Biron won the women's under-63 kg category for Canada, bringing the Canadian and English totals to three gold medals each after ten events.
The men's under-81 kg category produced a major moment for Malaysian judo. Amir Daniel Bin Abdul Majeed defeated South Africa's Timothy Meuwsen in the final to secure Malaysia's first Commonwealth Games judo gold medal. Remi Feuillet won men's under-90 kg for Mauritius, also delivering his delegation's first judo title of the Games.
Petersen-Pollard faced Australia's Aoife Coughlan in the women's under-70 kg final. The English judoka maintained a controlled gripping and attacking rhythm before the contest was decided in golden score.
