Rivalry renewed
Flying!
The Aussies have smashed the fastest time in the women’s team pursuit qualifing by two seconds and were only one second off the Games record they set when they won the gold medal in Birmingham.
They look in great nick!
“C’mon”
Former MAFS star and three time Comm Games weightlifter Ridge Baredo has made a good start to the men’s 110kg final.
He missed his snatch at 155kg but shouted for joy as he nailed it the second time.
He wasn’t able to make it 162kg with his final lift but he remains a chance for a medal with the clean and jerk still to come.
Near miss!
The Kenyans have started off the women’s team pursuit and it was nearly a disaster.
They don’t have a Velodrome in Kenya so are still adjusting to the difference in the steep track compared to road racing.
And it came the hard way for the rider jettisoned off the back during the trial.
She was attempting to stay out of the way at the top of the track but fell and only just missed the back of the last valid rider.
Welcome!
We are at day seven already and we get into the start of the cycling!
There will be plenty of Aussies in action, including in the Para events before focus shifts into the athletics.
Stay tuned for all the latest from Glasgow!
