On HBO Max, the coverage team listed for the final is Becky Ives and Rachel Stringer as presenters, with Katharine Merry and Martin Gillingham as main commentators, and Iwan Thomas and Eilidh Doyle as pundits. On TNT Sports 2 / HD, the listed team is Becky Ives presenting, Katharine Merry and Martin Gillingham commentating, and Iwan Thomas providing punditry. The same core broadcast voices across both UK outlets suggest a shared production approach for this athletics session.
Becky Ives is a familiar face in UK sports broadcasting, widely known for presenting live coverage and interviews across major events, while Rachel Stringer has built a profile as a presenter covering athletics and wider sport. Katharine Merry, an Olympic bronze medallist in the 400m, brings elite track experience to commentary, and Martin Gillingham is a seasoned commentator with long experience in athletics coverage. Their pairing is likely to offer a mix of technical insight and clear race narrative for a sprint hurdles final.
The pundit line-up is equally strong. Iwan Thomas, the former Commonwealth and European 400m champion, has become one of the most recognisable athletics analysts in British sport. Eilidh Doyle, one of Scotland’s most decorated track athletes, adds valuable perspective from a home-nation and championship-racing viewpoint. In a final such as the 110m hurdles, where reaction time, rhythm between barriers and precision over the last few hurdles can decide medals, that combination of sprint and hurdles expertise should be particularly useful for viewers.
The event also carries added local significance because Glasgow is hosting a major evening athletics session in front of a British crowd, with the men’s 110m hurdles final sitting among the headline track finals of the day. The published schedule places the final after the opening-round action earlier on 27 July, so this is the stage where the fastest athletes in the field will contest medals and, potentially, a Games record run.
For viewers deciding where to tune in, the key UK options are straightforward: HBO Max if you want the wider streaming presentation, or TNT Sports 2 / HD for the linear TV broadcast. With Becky Ives, Katharine Merry, Martin Gillingham, Iwan Thomas, Rachel Stringer and Eilidh Doyle attached to the coverage, the broadcast has both mainstream appeal and strong athletics credibility, making it one of the more compelling sessions of the Glasgow 2026 track programme.
