Corrections and clarifications are essential for maintaining journalistic integrity, and this article updates our readers on recent amendments to published stories. We strive for accuracy in every report, and we appreciate your attention to these important revisions.
Recent Corrections in Sports Reporting
In our coverage of Scotland's Commonwealth bronze medal-winning mixed 4x100m medley relay team, we incorrectly named the swimmers. It was Matthew Ward who swam the backstroke leg, not “Katie Ward” as previously stated. Additionally, Angharad Evans swam the breaststroke leg, not “Kara Hanlon Evans.” We apologize for these errors and have updated the article accordingly.
These corrections are part of our commitment to factual accuracy. We encourage readers to review the amended articles for the most reliable information.

Broadcast Correction
On 15 July 2026, we amended an article regarding the BBC's broadcast of England's last-32 win over DR Congo. An earlier version incorrectly stated that ITV broadcast the match; in fact, it was the BBC. We regret the error and have corrected the record.
