Commonwealth Games: Live coverage of Day 1 from Glasgow

With day one in Glasgow done, that’s where we’ll leave things.

Thanks from joining us. We’ll be back from around 5pm for day two!

In what is the last Australian involvement on the first day of the Commonwealth Games, our para mixed pairs B2-B3 lawn bowls team have beaten South Africa 1.5-0.5.

A dominant 9-2 win in the first set for the Jackaroos was backed up with a drawn 4-4 second.

Of course, Australia are on top of the medal table after the first day of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Our six gold medals - all won in the pool - are ahead of Nigeria’s three and Scotland’s two.

Meanwhile, our men’s artistic gymnastics team have also done us proud, claiming a bronze medal.

The hosts Scotland came hard, but our five-person team had done enough to hang on.

And, as if there was any doubt, our men’s 4x100m freestyle relay team have also claimed gold.

Flynn Southam, Kai Taylor and Harrison Turner opened up a handy lead for Kyle Chalmers to blitz home in the anchor leg in a 3min9.49sec.

Southam’s split would have set a Games record and was the fourth-fastest ever by an Australian.

That will wrap up proceedings from the Tollcross International Sports Centre for today, with Australia stitching up six gold medals.

Australia have cruised to victory in the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay final!

The Dolphins’ team of Meg Harris, Shayna Jack, Alex Perkins and Mollie O’Callaghan were way too good for silver medallists England and bronze-winners South Africa, flying home in 3min31.40sec.

The men’s team will be hoping to follow up next, which will be the final event for today from the Tollcross International Swimming Centre.

Throughout a slight lull in the swimming as we await the 4x100m freestyle relay finals, we are witnessing a real battle in the men’s artistic gymnastics team final.

Australia may have just done enough to hang on for bronze, but the host nation Scotland are coming hard.

And Australia is also in action in the para mixed pairs B2-B3 lawn bowls against South Africa.

If the pool is not your thing, all the action is available on 7plus.

Meanwhile, both of Australia’s 3x3 basketball teams are away to a very strong start.

The Gangurrus have completed a four-from-four day, with the men beating Scotland 21-14 before the women crushed Fiji 21-3.

Alex Saffy has beat his great mate Col Pearse to the gold medal in the men’s 10m butterfly S10 final!

A trademark fast finish from Pearse was not enough to run down Saffy, who looked to be out of energy with 25m to go but found another wind.

Saffy - who lives with cerebal palsy - told Channel Seven’s Ariarne Titmus he felt “pretty awesome”.

“The race plan was just to go out hard and see what I had left,” Saffy said.

“I can’t complain. The time’s not where I want to be, but it’s still gold.”

“To come second to Saffy, I couldn’t be happier ... I love having a rival,” Pearse added later.

Scotland’s Faye Rogers claimed gold in the women’s 200m individual medley SM10, but Australia’s Jasmine Rogers was good enough to win second with a 2min32.13sec.

“It’s a bit overwhelming, to be honest,” Greenwood told Channel Seven’s Ariarne Titmus.

“I was a bit nervous and I gave that absolutely everything.”

Australia will have two big medal chances in the upcoming men’s 100m butterfly S10 final in Col Pearse and the ‘Bunbury Bullet’ Alex Saffy.
