Huge comeback!
Bol on
Peyton Craig scraped through to the semifinal for Australia but Bol is on track now!
Jack dreaming on
Shayna Jack is on track to get her shot at one last individual gold medal.
She was the second-fastest qualifier in the 50m freestyle heats with only teammate Meg Harris ahead of her.
Boyes buoyed
Luke Boyes was the first of the Australians to take to the track in the 800m running heats and he did well.
He was just behind Kelvin Loti of Kenya in second with a time of 1.47.37.
“I just thought I’d feel out the first 200m, but no one else really put their foot forward so I thought ‘alright, I can take it from 600m’,” Boyes told Channel 7.
“I don’t like mucking around in the early rounds, just get the job done and get to the hotel and come back in two days.
“We had four pretty quality athletes and I’m the fourth fastest on PB so I just thought I wasn’t going to take any chances.”
Heartbreak!
Ryven Ewing has fallen out of the medal places of the 88kg wightlifting finals after falling short of lifting 175 kg.
It’s still a nice comeback after a poor snatch.
Favourite event
Kyle Chalmers has aced his 50m butterfly heat despite being the slowest off the block.
By the time he surfaced, though, he was nearly in front and even had time to take a few breathes in the final 15 metres.
He and teammate Ben Armbruster were the fastest qualifiers for the tonight’s semifinal while Cam McEvoy was fifth fastest.
Huge comeback!
Ryven Ewing is making a big charge in the men’s 88kg weightlifting final.
He was second-last after the snatch but has rocketed to second after lifting 170kg in the clean and jerk.
The competition is on!
NEXT
We now come to the men’s 50m butterfly.
Kyle Chalmers and Cam McEvoy lead the Aussies here but they are on from heat seven of nine onwards.
So a small Aussie pause in the pool.
Women’s Medley
Six Aussies in the water, six Aussies into the final.
Tara Kinder, Jenna Forrester and Ella Ramsay will contest the final of the 400m medley and Kinder did an amazing job to chase down the leader of her heat and touch the wall second after looking in a touch of bother midway
Hot heat
The second heat of the men’s medley had stars Lewis Clareburt and Max Litchfield whihc meant Se-Bom Lee’s work was cut out for him.
He hung onto the pair for a while but fell well behind to finish third.
However, it was enough to get through to the final.
Clareburt pipped Petric for the fastest time at 4.16.49.
Petric power
Will Petric has qualified for the final of the Men’s 400m Individual Medley with a very calm swim in his heat.
Brendon Smith was third-fastest and will have to wait and see on the times from the second heat.
