Commonwealth Games: Matt Walls involved in serious crash while playing track
The 2022 Commonwealth Games continues today with 28 gold medals in a variety of sports. England’s Adam Peaty returned to the pool for the 50m breaststroke, setting the fastest time to qualify for the next round. It was a good response from Peaty after missing out on the medals in yesterday’s 100m final.
Chris Murray won England’s first gold medal of the day with a fantastic performance in the men’s 81kg weightlifting. He set a new game record by lifting 325kg to oust Australia’s Kyle Bruce, who failed in his last attempt at 183kg to finish second to the Englishman. In the Turf Bowls, England first defeated Wales before clinging to gold in the men’s treble final with a 14-12 win over Australia.
England and Scotland set fire to gymnastics arena. Jake Jarman added an individual floor gold and all-around medals to his team before Joe Fraser smashed his pommel horse routine to win gold ahead of Northern Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan – the reigning Commonwealth champion. Shannon Archer also made history in the women’s vault when she finished with bronze, earning Scotland her first medal in artistic gymnastics.

It’s a good looking routine!
Courtney Tulloch was brilliant in the swings, strong in the holds and landed a decent dismount. He looks happy with the effort but we’ll have to wait for the results.
14.266 is hard to beat but if anyone can do it it’s the Englishman.

England’s Hayden Norris is the last of the Home Nations riders to take part in this time trial, finishing third with a very decent time of 1’01.285 but eclipsing team-mate Ethan Vernon from the medal spots.
Thomas Cornish of Australia is the current leader with 1:00.036.
Next up is New Zealand’s Nicholas Kergozou de la Boessiere… he’s fast. Very fast and Hayden Norris is knocked out of the podium.
