Lewis sets another Australian record
And Torrie Lewis has gone through to the women’s 100m final in an Australian record time!
An 11sec flat effort from our fastest woman.
“It was very good,” an understated Lewis told Channel Seven.
Nketia joins Kennedy in final!
Eddie Nketia will be joining Lachlan Kennedy in the men’s 100m final!
He was the fastest starter in the third semifinal heat and found a late second win to post a 10.03sec time.
“It’s been a journey, man,” he tells Channel Seven.
“I’m just so happy with where I’m at right now ... I’m so blessed.”
Gold for Southam in men’s 100m freestyle
Meanwhile, Flynn Southam has toppled Kyle Chalmers in the men’s 100m final!
Southam was out to a hot start and held off bronze medallist Chalmers to claim gold in 47.13sec.
“I had a lot of people doubting me, and I was doubting myself at some points, but at the end of the day, I back myslef in a race, and that was a bloody good one,” Southam said.
“Four years ago, I was a little boy. Now, I’m a man. I belong here and I’m here to stay.”
Earlier, Kiralee Hayes won gold in the women’s 50m freestyle S13 final.
Browning out
Rohan Browning has run a 10.14sec, which was good enough for fourth in his heat.
It’s the best of his season comfortably, but it won’t get him through to the final.
“I came here totally at peace with whatever the result was going to be. I did everything I could,” he told Channel Seven.
“I didn’t run my best, but I’m at peace with that.”
In the pool
Meanwhile, the men’s 100m final is about to be swum at the Tollcross International Sporting Centre.
Can Flynn Southam top Kyle Chalmers?
All happening in Glasgow!
Kennedy through to 100m final!
Australia’s fastest man Lachlan Kennedy has run a 9.94sec in his semifinal heat of the men’s 100m, only one-hundreth of a second short of the Australian record!
That will get him through to the final.
He was second behind Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme in 9.89.
“It was a wet track, but he certainly lit it up,” Channel Seven commentator Tasmyn Manou said.
“It felt good. I know I’ve got things to work on for the final but ... I’m happy, good for my confidence,” Kennedy told Channel Seven.
Rohan Browning is up in this heat.
On track
Plenty happening at the Scotstoun Stadium this morning.
The women’s heptathlon shot put and women’s high jump are about to get under way, while we are only minutes away from the men’s and women’s 100m semifinals.
Later, we will have finals including the women’s hammer throw, men’s long jump T20, men’s 10,000m, men’s 100m, and women’s 100m.
Lachie Kennedy is about to run in his men’s 100m semifinal heat.
