Commonwealth Games 2026: Live coverage of Day 3 from Glasgow

After a delay for some medal ceremonies, we are back in action at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre.

Australia’s Mollie O’Callaghan is up in the first semifinal for the women’s 100m freestyle, with Shayna Jack set for the second.

Australia’s Matthew Temple has missed out on a 100m butterfly gold medal by the barest of margins.

His 50.43sec was only one-hundreth of a second behind Canada’s Joshua Liendo, the Commonwealth Games record holder.

“It was quick enough for me, but not quick enough for the race. At the end of the day, that’s how swimming goes,” he tells Channel Seven.

“I’m on the podium, so I can’t complain with that.”

Australia’s Ben Armbuster won bronze.

Australian teenager Sienna Toohey has continued a fine Commonwealth Games debut by winning bronze in the 100m breaststroke.

With a time of 1min6.47sec, she was comfortably ahead of compatriot Ella Ramsay in fourth.

Men’s 100m backstroke S9 gold medal winner Tim Hodges spoke unbelievably well only moments after his race.

“Some of the honours I’ve been fortunate enough to experience, like baton-bearer this year, I like to think that while I’m setting a precedent for para sport, I’m also trying to show people back home that if you put your mind to something, you can achieve it,” he told Channel Seven.

“I remember when I was a five-year-old kid laying in bed after my surgery saying ‘I don’t think I’ll be good at anything anymore’. Just to see how far I’ve come and all the legends in my sport that have come before me I’ve followed, it’s hard to believe.”

Tim Hodge, one of Australia’s baton-bearers, has cruised to victory in the men’s 100m backstroke S9 final.

The veteran celebrated his second Commonwealth Games gold medal in the event with a fist-pump after swimming a flat 1min3sec.

It was also an Australian battle for third, with Harrison Vig edging out Liam Togher.

In a heartwarming moment, the entire crowd at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre have rallied behind Guyana’s Antwahn Boyce-Vaughan, who was behind the rest of the field in eighth.

Australia’s Gemma Sellick and Victoria Belando Nichollson have claimed silver and bronze respectively in the women’s 100m backstroke S9 final to start proceedings.

England’s Alice Tai won in a Games record 1:11.93.

The 4.4 difficulty vault was executed at a rate of 8.5 for a opening score of 12.9.

Breanna Scott is the first gymnast to kick start preceedings on the vault.

A yurchenko full vault only holds a 4.2 degree of difficulty and she executed it to the tune of 8.9 points for an opening score of 13.1.
