SPORT: It was another massive medal haul for Australia on the second-last day of action in Glasgow! Recap how it all went down here.

AUSTRALIA WIN 4X100m GOLD

Rohan Browning holds off the Olympic champions, Canada, to win our first gold since 1974.

We led from start to finish; unbelievable performance.

Nigeria takes third; Browning seals the win by four hundredths of a second.

‘Breathtaking’ surmises Bruce McAvaney.

Canada are disqualfied post race so Ghana is bumped up to bronze.

That is our 150th medal of these Games.

Men’s 4x100m relay final

Lachhie Kennedy will lead off, having been rested from the heats.

Joshua Azzopardi, Calab Law and Rohan Browning will follow.

Can they pull off something special?

Silver for Robinson in men’s 5000m

He threatened to get swallowed up on the final lap, unable to go with the winner, Matthew Kipsang from Kenya.

But he found another gear and kicked late to push through to finish well clear in second to add silver to his 10,000m gold.

First Aussie medal in this event in 20 years.

Magnificent Games for him.

“That felt three times as long as the 10k the other night; that was painful the whole way,” he says.

“On fresher legs I might have performed better, but you can’t complain with a gold and a silver.”

Halfway done

Robinson sitting in eighth while Seth O’Donnell is moving up to join him while Jackson Sharp is hanging on to the back of the bunch.

Men’s 5000m underway

Three Aussies in the final, but our best hope is Ky Robinson as he looks to emulate Rose Davies in completing the 10,000m-5,000 m double.

Strong start for our long jumpers

Brooke Buschkuehl and Delta Amidzovski sit second and third after the opening round of jumps in the women’s final.

Mackenzie Little also throws a season-best 61.88m to lead the early stages of the women’s javelin final.

Scottish double in T54 400m

Melanie Woods adds to her 1500m crowd, much to the joy of the home crowd.

Australians Eliza Ault-Connell and Aimee Fisher finish fifth and eighth respectively.

Conditions even worse for men’s pole vault

Nina Kennedy took silver as windy conditions played havoc in the final and reports are it’s even worse today.

So less than ideal for Kurtis Marschall’s chances, who will be up shortly

Chaotic silver for Cornish!

It was a chaotic race in the men’s 10km scratch final with nine cyclists going down in a crash.

But Thomas Cornish rose above the scenes and won a silver medal in a photo finish.

Two riders are being tended to by medical staff, fortuatnely none of the Aussie cyclists were caught up in the curfuffle.

Pedigree prevails! Hoffman wins a second gold

Leigh Hoffman is just too good on the track, winning gold medal in the sprint and his first individual.

Coming off a gold in the team sprint, Hoffman was unfazed by any tactic that Nicholas Paul threw at him.

It adds another gold to Australia’s tally, taking the total up to a staggering 60 in Glasgow.
