Commonwealth Karate Championships 2026
Glasgow, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Amazing Connor 👏

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 FLYING THE FLAG IN SWITZERLAND! 🇨🇭🥉

What a performance from Connor McCluskey at the Basel International Open in Switzerland! 🔥🥋

Competing in Cadet Male Kumite -63kg, Connor stepped onto the tatami as the only Scottish athlete in his category, facing an international field featuring competitors from France, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy.

And he delivered. 👊

🔵 1st Round: Switzerland 🇨🇭 WIN 1–0
Connor defeated the Swiss National Champion to open his campaign.

🔵 2nd Round: Italy 🇮🇹 WIN 1–0

🔵 Semi-Final: Germany 🇩🇪 2–2

An incredibly tight contest, with Connor narrowly missing out on a place in the final.

🔵 Bronze Medal Match: Switzerland 🇨🇭 WIN 1–0 🥉
Four international matches.

Three victories. And a BRONZE MEDAL coming home to Scotland! 🏆

Results like this are about far more than the medal. They come from hours of training, travelling, competing, learning, and continually testing yourself against athletes from different countries.

For Connor to stand on an international podium in a field of this quality is another significant step forward in his development.

Congratulations, Connor: Basel International Open BRONZE MEDALLIST! 🥉🇨🇭

A fantastic performance and another international result to be proud of. 💙
