Glasgow hammer thrower Chris Bennett prepares to end his career at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, returning from retirement to compete in his home city. He reflects on his athletic journey, the impact of a recent ADHD diagnosis and the personal growth he experienced during two years away from competition. Bennett highlights the significance of representing Scotland for a final time, the support of his mother and the renewed balance he has achieved mentally and physically after substantial weight loss. He hopes his legacy extends beyond medals by influencing perceptions of neurodiversity, viewing his Glasgow farewell as the perfect conclusion to his career.
