Commonwealth Games: Live coverage of Day 6 from Glasgow

He led from start to finish, but he was tiring late, having competed in the 200m final less than two hours earlier.

He is cooked, but he dug deep to beat Northern Ireland’s Dan Whiffen by just over two seconds while Goedemans found a PB to secure bronze.

He defends his title from four years ago!

Matt Galea, Sam Short, Ben Goedemans in action with Short the favourite and he takes the early lead but there’s a long way to go.

A personal best, and boy, did she need it! The home crowd was willing Scott Keanna MacInnes down the home stretch, but the Aussie held on by just 0.22 seconds. Lizzy Dekkers also finished strongly to claim bronze.

“I wanted to go out there and do a PB,” she says.

“I was inspired by Kai Taylor in his 200m freestyle to just take it out at the start and hold on.”

Gold is a heavy metal but it will feel incredibly light around the neck of Eileen Cikamatana after dominating the women’s 86kg category.

She lifted a Games record 140kg in the clean and jerk to go with 108 kg in the snatch to finish with 248kg.

She defended her title from four years ago, and no one else got within sight of her!

Having previously won gold for Fiji se’s the first woman to win two golds for two countries in an individual event.

The men were denied, but the women were dominant in a 21-11 win over Uganda, who never got a look in.

After dominating the pool stages, WA’s Amy Atwell took a backseat in the final with Marena Whittle sinking 15 points.

Stunning peformance from our Aussie women!

She finishes second in the semifinal behind Englishwoman Georgia Hunter Bell.

Having been mid-pack, she moved into second around the final turn and challenged Hunter Bell all down the home straight.

A really strong run from the Australian.

“I’m so stoked, I’m so happy with that. My goal was to make the final, and I’ve done that - I always say anything can happen in a final so bring it on,” she said.

Lucky’s the name, but there was nothing lucky about that for Patterson, who claimed a dominant gold ahead of teammate Emily Beecroft in a new personal best for both.

It looked as if it would be another podium sweep, but Victoria Belando Nicholson was pipped by Scotland’s Toni Shaw by 0.02 seconds.

“It’s been such a long time in the making,” Patterson says.

“To be able to go under the 1.03 mark is amazing; I just feel so blessed that I get to be here.”

Once again Australia have seen the gold medal slip through their fingers.

Down two points in the final seconds, Wagstaff threw the ball out of bounds, and just like four years ago, England defeat Australia in the final.

19-17 in the end but the boys should be proud of silver!

“You lose a silver medal, and kind of win a bronze. It is a privilege to represent this country and obviously a proud moment winning a silver but it doesn’t exactly feel like that right now,” Wagstaff says.

“It probably could’ve gone either way, but some calls either way and some buckets that don’t drop and all of a sudden you’re on the losing end; that’s how 3x3 works.

“It’s been a phenomenal experience.”

It’s two golds in one event!

Kyle Chalmers and Ben Armbruster are inseparable as they touch the wall to both set a new games record of 22.73

Cam McEvoy comes home third. That is extraordinary.

“It doesn’t get any better than that,” Armbruster says.

“Huge redemption for myself and to perform like that I know I’m exactly where I need to be.”

“I don’t think it could be any better,” Chalmers says.

“We’re two country boys and now we’re top of the Commonwealth world.

“To be able to tie in the semi and again in the in the final there is no better feeling.”

‘Not bad’ McEvoy says with a huge smile.

“The quickest final we’ve ever seen.”

All three swum under 23 seconds. Australia have never tied for gold in the pool at the Commonwealth Games.

“I’m really honoured to be in that race with Shayna,” Perkins said.

“It was really special.

“I’m just proud of everything in the end; sometimes it’s hard to get up knowing it’s in the end

“I just hope I’ve done the country proud, I love you all.”
