Commonwealth Games: Live coverage of Day 7 from Glasgow

Australia have been handed a tall order to qualify in the team sprint, after the Welsh women just set a new games record with 46.972.

Australia has the chance to take out all three medals in the women’s one mile run after Claudia Hollingsworth’s heat win.

“I felt really good out there, just wanted to stay as controlled as possible out there,” she told Channel 7.

“Just really wanted to practice winding out and see how it felt.

“The whole (Australia) team is so great . . . it was so awesome seeing (Hull and Caldwell) out there, it gave me a confidence and a boost.

“When you put on the Aussie kit it gives you a boost.”

Gold medal fancy Jessica Hull and Abbey Caldwell have breezed through the one mile qualifer to punch their finals race ticket.

The group were huddled together and took advantage of generous headwind, but as the bell rang Hull kicked into a new gear.

Kenyan runner Teresiah Gateri had a late burst to take the heat win, but Hull has a busy schedule ahead so undestandably didn’t gass herself in the qualifier.

Jess Hull tried her best to take it easy with the 5000m final ahead of her later tonight.

“Job done, it was as straight forward as it could be,” she told Channel 7.

“It was interesting, usually you get so up for a race but I was jus trying to stay even.

“I can’t help it when you put the uniform on.

“It’s a 5k (tonight), I haven’t ran a fast one in a long time.”

While Abbey Caldwell saw the humour in Proclaimers blasting in the background.

“Just wanted to stay calm and comfortbale, and relaxed as possible . . . got the job done,” she said to Channel 7.

“I did take note of (500 miles) playing.

“It’s a patient game to play, we just want to carry the momentum on for the rest of the week.”

Jessica Hull has jetted off in the one mile run, looking to go one better then her Olympic silver in the event.

Abbey Caldwell is also contending in the first heat.

Michelle Jenneke was her usual bubbly self pre-race and didn’t let the moment get to her, clearing the 100m hurdles in 12.72 seconds.

She will remain upbeat after qualifiying for the final with a clean finish.

“Those hurdles were coming up at me fast and that wind was pushing me up there,” she told Channel 7.

“I was really happy with (the start), I hope there is more in the tank for tonight.”

Barbados’ Adeyah Brewster tripped in the final stretch and hit the deck hard.

The men’s 4000m pursuit gold medal race will be a fiery clash between Australia and England, after New Zealand failed to catch the Poms time.

It would have set up the ultimate grudge match between Australia and defactor Matt Richardson for the gold.

However, the Aussie traitor will have to watch from the sidelines while nursing an injury.

MAFs star turned weightlifter Ridge Barredo’s Commonwealth campaign has finished without a total weight.

The 110kg category lifter snatched a fine 150kg, but could not get up his 190kg in the clean and jerk on three attempts - leaving the stage empty handed.

The men’s have followed up and beaten England’s top time to fly their way into the gold medal race.

Australia’s time was in the red throughout, trailing England until the crucial crunch time in the final laps of the 4000m.

England’s mid race collapse coupled with the Aussies gaining momentum helped boost the green and gold into the top race.

Over at Scotstoun stadium, Cameron McEntyre has improved on his first javelin throw in the qualifiers.

Reaching 78.91m with his second attempt, slotting the NSW’s athlete nicely in sixth position.

New Zealand will face Australia in the gold medal race for the women’s 4000m time trial.

The Kiwis were only just behind the Aussie’s qualification time and are the favourites for the top spot.

However, Australia are shooting for three-straight wins in the event.

The bronze medal will be contested between UK rivals Wales and England.
