Sir Chris Hoy has secured a new reporting role with TNT Sports for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, which began on Thursday, July 23. The Olympic cycling legend continues his battle with terminal prostate cancer after being diagnosed in 2024.
New role at the Commonwealth Games
Sir Chris will work as a reporter for TNT Sports, which has taken over full broadcasting rights from the BBC. His role will extend beyond cycling coverage, with Scott Young, executive vice president of WBD Sports Europe, saying: "He will be everywhere, not just at the cycling."
Young added: "Our company has a great relationship with Sir Chris Hoy. We reached out to him to see if he would like to be a part of what we were doing, and we're delighted we're working together again."
Sir Chris previously won two gold and two bronze medals at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester 2002 and Melbourne 2006.
Health update
In June, Sir Chris told the Press Association: "I'm doing fine, thanks." He added: "It's trying to demonstrate, rather than just talking about it, that all these people who are in a similar situation to me - living with stage four cancer - that there's plenty of life left in us, and we're determined to make the most of it, and not have cancer define who you are."
He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2024, which spread to his bones, and doctors gave a prognosis of two to four years to live. In 2025, he suffered a serious mountain bike accident in South Wales, describing it as "the worst crash I've ever had," resulting in a severely broken leg. He noted that staying physically active helps him shift focus from his diagnosis, with recovery from the injury being gradual.
