Bryson goes down swinging
Conceding the first two rounds Bryson came out swinging, literally, in the final round with nothing too lose.
It was an almighty barrage from the Aussie to close out the set, and she gave it her all but could not make up the difference following the unanimous losses in the first two.
Ultimatley losing via unanimous decision 5-0, she will fight for bronze.
Firey clashes heat up
The combat sports are in full flight tonight, and Joshua Katz has notched the first Aussie win under his built - beating Rwanda’s Alban Bouvet 101-0.
In the ring, Eve Elizabeth Bryson is locked in a heated bout against England’s Sarah Hickey.
The Pom earned the judges favour in the first round, and Bryson was given a standing count to start the second.
Delta jumps on
In the field events, Australia Delta Amidzovski looks likely to move on in the long jump.
She didn’t make it easy for herself on the third jump, taking off from 15cm back of the required line.
Despite that she registered her best jump at 6.55m, putting her fourth with more to jump.
Another games record for Felicity
Following her fantastic ride in yesterday’s record-breaking gold medal win, Felicity Wilson-Haffenden has qualified for the individual run with another games record.
She helped lead the team in the closing stretch to complete an epic comeback against New Zealand, and the youngster will go for gold herself showing no sings of fatigue with a games record 4.32.323 qualifying time.
Trio of sprinters qualify
Three Aussies have filled up the 16 open spots in the women’s sprint qualifiers at the velodrome.
Alessia McCaig, Molly McGill and Liliya Tatarinoff all had fine rides to move on.
Ault-Connell nabs an early bronze!
Australia has already secured a medal with Eliza Ault-Connell winning bronze in the women’s 1500m T54 final.
It was a three woman race right from the jump, with Melaine Woods jumping out to the lead early and Noemi Alphonse tailing her throughout.
Ault-Connel was chasing in the opening laps but couldn’t keep up with the extradionary games reocrd pace, but she did enough to secure a bronze.
The race was rescheduled after a crash involving Ault-Connell occured yesterday.

Early win to boost spirits
Dynamic duo Corey Wedlock and Aaron Teys went to a tie break against Tonga in the lawn bowls, getting the win to start the day off right for Australia.
Welcome!
Day eight has kicked off and there is plenty of action underway.
Aussies are gearing up to keep the medal tally growing on the track and in the velodrome.
