Taking a break
We’ll be right back with more Commonwealth Games coverage when the athletics action kicks off and the fun begins.
Perth’s Middleton loses bronze fight
Perth’s Vas Middleton will walk away from his Commonwealth Games debut without a medal after he couldn’t comeback in the prized match.
The 20-year-old put up a valliant effort today, fighting his way to the decider match.
But it was not to be for the West Aussie, losing by one point to Cyprus’ Petros Christodoulides.
Silver for Gordon Allan
It’s a silver for Aussie cyclist after his record time was smashed by the final cyclist Devon Briggs.
The Kiwi clocked a 1.05.536, meaning that it will be a silver going around Allan’s neck.

Gordon Allen sets new world record
Gordon Allan has secured himself a medal in the men’s C1-C3 1000m time trial finals with a world record adjusted 1.07.361.
The colour will be decided by the next two riders, but he has guarenteed a medal with his astonishing ride.
Easton blunder costs her
Tinka Easton was put onto her back in the bronze medal match, ending the fight abrudtly as she walks away empty handed.
She went for a counter but her opponent managed to take advantage, putting Easton on her back.
The Aussie was visibly frustrated leaving the tatami.
Katz fights hard for silver
Joshua Katz should take pride in his hard fought silver medal, following the final match loss to India’s Harsh Singh.
Neither competitor could find an edge in the evenly matched contest, but a slip in concentration from Katz gave Singh an opportunity to score.
It finished as a 10-0 contest and Katz bows out with the silver.
Pedro arm bars for bronze
