A total of 280 medals will be awarded to successful athletes during the Games, with medal sessions allowing those in attendance to share the triumph of the gold medallist as their national anthem is played and their flag is raised.

Sports for which these sessions are available span a variety of 19 sports and eight para sports, with some of the core sports providing opportunities to see medals won.

The Rugby Sevens at Coventry Arena will feature two days of action and the medal session on Sunday, July 31 will see both the men's and women's gold medals won, with medal ceremonies taking place afterwards.

Athletics and Para Athletics at the Alexander Stadium includes 59 medal events and some big races and finals still have tickets available for those evening sessions.
