We set the scene for the action in Birmingham with all the stats you need courtesy of Track & Field Tours. After an underwhelming performance by the home nations at the Commonwealth Games, Britain looks set to be among the most successful nations in Birmingham. With their greater strength in field, endurance and walks, Italy should top the medals table but fall short of their Rome tally of 24 medals including 11 golds. Britain have medal hopes in around 20 events and given their home advantage should improve on their 13 medals and four golds achieved in Italy in 2024. Their highest ever medal tally was 23 in Zurich in 2014 where they also achieved a record 12 golds which is looking unlikely but they do have the advantage of the mixed relays which have been added to the programme. Germany, France, Norway and Netherlands are likely to be vying for the most successful nations along with Italy and Great Britain. Below are the best marks in 2024 by athletes selected or expected to compete. w   = wind assisted   a  = at high altitude  i  = indoor mark +  = en route time     nm = no mark           ?  = may not compete 100 METRES Championship Best Performance (CBP): 9.95 Zharnel Hughes 2018/Lamont Marcell Jacobs ITA 2022 World record (WR): 9.58 Usain Bolt JAM 2009 European record (ER): 9.80 Jacobs 2021 UK record (UKR): 9.87 Linford Christie 1993 UK medallists (18): Gold – Jack Archer 1946, Christie 1986, 1990 & 1994, Darren Campbell 1998, James Dasaolu 2014; Zharnel Hughes 2018; Silver – Dwain Chambers 1998, Campbell 2002, Mark Lewis-Francis 2010, Reece Prescod 2018; Hughes 2022.
