The Athletics New Zealand 🇳🇿 Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games team 🌿🖤

🇳🇿 Announcing the strongest team we've ever sent to the World Road Running Championships!

The Quax name returns to the black singlet. Theo Quax, son of NZ running legend Dick Quax, has been selected for the Road 5km in Copenhagen. Fifty years after his dad won Olympic silver over 5000m, Theo gets his shot on the world stage.

"It's an honour to don the black singlet for the first time." Quax said on his selection.
