Commonwealth Games: Live coverage of Day 7 from Glasgow

Australia’s fastest man, Lachie Kennedy, is showing no signs of slowing down as he looks to achieve a rare double in both 100 and 200m disciplines at the same games.

“I think I can win tomorrow; I think I’ve got what it takes. It’s all about the details; a lot of 100 and 200m are won between the ears.

Brilliant runs from Luke Boyes and Peyton Craig.

Boyes looks comfortable just controlling his race to come through second.

Craig was blocked out down the main straight and had to go the long way round to give himself a chance, and came through to take third.

Boyes has run faster than any other Australian ever has at the Commonwealth Games!

“It wasn’t pretty, and it was bit messy but sometimes you just have to find a way,” Craig says.

Boyes says he’s up to 23 Up & Gos and threatens to crack a shoey with one should he win the final.

He was last after the first lap, and then, as he went to make moves heading into the final turn, he got checked and stuck behind the top three.

He had to dig deep and, fortunately, came through strong to take second in 1.45.25.

“Stayed relaxed and came through; we’re in the final so we’re happy,” he says.

“Absolutely, I’m in PB shape, which is a credit to my team.

“I wanted to get out front but stayed calm and made it through.

“It’s going to be a hell of a final.”

Bol is in the first semi with fellow Australian Luke Boyes and Peyton Craig to contest the second.

The first three from each and the next two fastest will qualify for the final.

She also came fourth as she couldn’t quite match the leaders down the stretch and finished with 23.12.

“A bit disappointed I wanted a final,” she says.

“I’ll just have to make it in the 4x400m.”

So Lewis will be the sole Aussie representative in the final as the fourth fastest qualifier.

She crosses fourth in the second semifinal in a solid run, dipping under 23 seconds for just the second time in her career.

“I’m really proud of what I put together out there,” she says.

Adaejah Hodge of the British Virgin Islands set a new Games Record in 22.01.

She’ll be running out of lane seven.

She gets out of the blocks really well and comes out of the turn third but really charges home over the final steps, and it’s a three-way dead heat!

She wins by 0.003 seconds in a time of 22.64! What a run!

“I feel like I went out really well and I think I relaxed too much coming out of the bend, which is where they caught up,” she says.

She looked pleased with that

She’s set a season’s best 13.81.

But she’ll have to pull out something special to sneak onto the podium.

Just 15-years-old and she gives her all in her first-ever final.

She takes plenty out of that, setting a season’s best 13.15.

“My PB is 13.12 and I’m so happy to get close to it again,” she says.

“I’m so happy to be here; the support here is great, and that’s what gave me the courage to come out here.

“I can’t wait to do it again.”

Canada claim a 1-2 finish with New Zealand’s Anna Grimaldi in third.

He held on for third in an incredibly quick final, and he’ll sneak through as one of the two fastest non-automatic qualifiers.

It’s a PB as well, though it’s just outside the legal wind so it won’t count, in 20.12 as he beats Esame, who took gold ahead of him in the 100m final.

He qualifies with the third fastest time for the final.

South Africa’s Sinesipho Dambile was quickest in 19.82.

“I’m pretty gassed; it was hard running out there,” he says.

“Another race, another final, so that’s good; the 100 is my main game but I they say the best 100 runners also have really good 200s.

“I feel like I’m in PB form in the 200m so hopefully we get a legal wind.

“Get me in the wet,” he jokes.
