Para-cyclist Fin Graham from Scotland claimed silver in the C1-C3 3km individual pursuit at the Commonwealth Games, finishing second to England's Matthew Robertson. The 26-year-old had sought the top prize, which would have meant hearing his nation's national anthem during the medal presentation at his home Games—a prospect he described as a singular opportunity. This represents his second medal of the event, following an earlier upgrade from bronze in the time trial competition.

Graham's disappointment extended to the competition format itself. The race was restructured into a time trial (individual races against the clock) rather than the traditional pursuit style where competitors race simultaneously against each other. This modification was implemented early in the competition week under the UCI's established policy that time trials substitute for direct competition when para-cyclists of varying classifications participate together, to prevent significant performance disparities. While Graham acknowledged he must adapt to such decisions, he remained concerned that this approach removed the direct competitive engagement athletes prefer and diminished the spectacle for spectators who prefer seeing racers contest one another.
