Chris Murray will return for a second Commonwealth Games at Glasgow 2026 with a target on his back.
The weightlifter soared to gold on debut at Birmingham 2022 with the lift of his life and a new Commonwealth Games record of 325kg.
A British record holder and European U23 silver medallist, Murray has continued to impress in the years since, even when it has felt like the world has been against him.
Murray underwent surgery on his shoulder in 2025 and amongst multiple other injuries admitted that he originally had fears he would miss out on a second Games in Glasgow, but where there is a will, there is a way.
He made his return at the 2025 European Championships before further injury struck, and has bounced back once more to qualify for his second Games in Glasgow.
