Fourteen-year-old Katie Green became the first female swimmer to take to the pool for Team Gibraltar at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. Competing in Heat One of the women's 200m freestyle, she lined up against Dominica's Jasmine Schofield, Eswatini's Hayley Michelle Hoy, Barbados' Toria Alleyne and the Maldives' Meral Ayn Latheef. The first of six races she is scheduled to compete in over the coming days, Katie recorded a second-place finish in her heat. Challenged by Toria Alleyne, she dropped back into second at the 150m turn and maintained that position to finish the race in 2:17.14. Heat Two saw seven of the eight swimmers record times faster than Katie's, making qualification increasingly unlikely.
