Weightlifting

Aussie Ryven Ewing has some major catching up to do in the men’s 88kg final after lifting 136kg in the snatch, almost 30kg less than the leader.

However, he is starting with the fourth highest weight in the clean and snatch so is a chance to move right up the rankings.

First up

The women’s Heptathlon is the first event underway today with event one of seven, the 110m hurdles.

There were five PBs ran in the first heat despite the water all over the track after heavy morning showers.

Aussies Mia Scerri and Tori West were in the second heat and both made a strong start.

However, Scerri looked awekard over the second hurdle and didn’t recover to finish seventh while Tori West got a season best to finish fourth despite clipping a hurdle.

West puts herself into a strong position for the next events.

Welcome!

We are already at the halfway mark of the Games and it has been raining medals for Australia.

But it will be a West Aussie taking centre stage early on tonight as Peter Bol takes to the track for the 800m.

He also have some high jump action as well as our champions in the pool with Shayna Jack set to draw the curtain on her career today, hopefully with another medal.

Sit back and relax as we bring you all the latest action!
