Sport: The track-and-field action roars to life on Day 4 in Glasgow, with a host of Aussies raring to go.
The likes of Lachie Kennedy, Eddie Nketia and Rohan Browning will all be putting forward their case, while the swimming action doesn’t stop as the schedule becomes stacked.
Stay across the latest below as we take you through the action across Monday evening and Tuesday morning (WA time)!
Super Sam secures another gold!
An unbelievable Commonwealth Games from Sam Williamson has reached new heights!
The Victorian - who could not even walk due to a serious knee injury 12 months ago - has stormed home to win the men’s 50m breaststroke final, adding another gold medal to the one he won in the 100m.
His blistering finish helped him overcome South Africa’s Michael Houlie and post a time of 26.50sec.
“I still can’t really process everything. Honestly, just trying to put the last 15 months into 26 seconds is an incredible task,” Williamson told Channel Seven.
“I just couldn’t be prouder of the work that I’ve done. From the bottom of my heart, everyone back home that’s supported me ... I can’t thank you enough. This one’s for all of us.
“I thought just getting up on the block each times was going to be an incredible achievement ... to come away with six individual swims under my belt, it’s going to be something I hold onto for a very long time.”
Perkins secures Australia’s fourth gold of the night!
Alex Perkins has secured what is Australia’s fourth gold medal of the night in the women’s 100m butterfly!
The Queenslander added the prize to her women’s 50m butterfly gold medal and two more in relays with a dominant 56.38sec effort.
“Coming into this, I definitely wouldn’t have expected that,” Perkins told Channel Seven.
“I’m just to happy to be here. I’m not necessarily feeling my best, but pushing through. I’m really glad I put that race together.”
Brittany Castelluzzo’s late push for a place on the podium fell only a hundreth of a second short, but her 57.40 was still a fine performance in her first individual international senior final.
Solid from Gillespie, Sellick
Australian teenagers Alyssa Gillespie (1min32.80sec) and Gemma Sellick (1:33.95) certainly did not disgrace themselves in the women’s 100m breaststroke SB8 final.
England’s Brock Whiston won the gold medal in 1:22.05, reeling in a fast start from Uganda’s Husnah Kukundakwe.
Clarke runs fourth
Our Australians have missed out on medals in the women’s 100m T38 final.
WA’s Rhiannon Clarke’s time of 12.94sec was good enough for fourth, ahead of Ella Pardy (13.48) and Briseis Brittain (13.50).
Billings blitzes the field
Over to the track, where Australia’s Sarah Billings was dominant in her women’s 800m heat, winning comfortably in 2min1.51sec.
And in the women’s shot put F57, Ainsley Hooker and Julie Charlton are battling hard.
Gold for Matthews!
And Australia have claimed their third gold medal within a half-hour span, with Beau Matthews winning the men’s 100m breaststroke SB9 final!
After a delay for the race to be reviewed, a brilliant 1min9.41sec effort from the 17-year-old was confirmed as legal.
“I can’t explain the feeling, it’s amazing. I worked so hard with my club to try and get here and compete,” Matthews told Channel Seven.
“The last 15m, I was very, very dead - I probably went out a little bit too quick, didn’t have enough coming home, but it is what it is. I’ll definitely take the result.”
And Canada’s Fernando Lu and Scotland’s Oliver Carter being disqualified has elevated Tim Hodge - who is swimming up a classification after claiming the men’s 100m breaststroke SB8 medal yesterday - into a bronze medal place.
Gold for Harris in Aussie clean sweep!
It’s an Australian clean sweep of the podium in the women’s 100m freestyle final, and Meg Harris has won in an upset!
More renowned for her work in the 50m, Harris was out fastest of the trio and held on in a huge finish, posting a 52.90sec time.
O’Callaghan’s 53.25sec won her silver and Jack claimed bronze in 53.38.
“It’s always fun - well, not always, I’ve never done this before,” Harris told Channel Seven.
“I knew I had to go out hard, Mollie always mows me down. I was hoping, just for once, I’d be able to hold her off.
“I’ve learnt so much along this journey ... I’m just happy with the outcome.”
Easy does it
Flynn Southam and Kyle Chalmers have both barely broken a sweat in cruising through the men’s 100m freestyle semifinals.
Southam won the first heat in 48.08sec before Chalmers followed up with a 47.87 effort in the second.
Forrester holds on for gold!
Jenna Forrester has clung on to win the women’s 400m individual medley final!
England’s Amalie Smith challenged her in the freestyle leg but the Australian found a second wind to storm home in a personal best time of 4min31.19sec.
It is her second gold medal of the Games, coming after her remarkable women’s 200m backstroke final victory.
Forrester said she is “over the moon” with her performance.
“Last time we were at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, I really wanted to get on the podium ... to come back four years later and win that event, I’m just so stoked,” she told Channel Seven.
“I think I have been in really good form.”
Australia’s Ella Ramsay was third in 4:37.12.
Over on the track
Australians are also chasing gold medals in the first day of track and field action.
The women’s shotput F57 and men’s high jump are about to get under way, with the women’s 100m T38, women’s 10,000m, men’s 1500m T20 and men’s 100m T38 finals all coming later this evening.
