Pelting Rain and Broken Records | Comm Games Day 5

 

We’ve officially hit the halfway point of the Commonwealth Games, and while it's raining down in Glasgow, it's still raining medals for Australia! 

In this episode:

  • The medal tally momentum: A breakdown of Australia's astronomical 80-medal total—including 35 gold medals—to stay clear in first place ahead of England (and it's not close)

  • Historical swimming haul: Australia reaches an equal-record 28 gold medals in the pool! Plus, a massive shoutout to Lani Pallister after 3.7km of racing and a perfect 6-for-6 sweep in the relays.

  • Mind-blowing track records: Lockie Kennedy smashes a 21-year-old Australian record with a blistering 9.85s in the 100m, while Tori Lewis breaks the women's 100m Aussie record twice in one night!

  • Historic distance gold & field sweeps: Ky Robinson claims Australia's first men's 10,000m gold since 1958, Eleanor Patterson and Nicola Olyslagers go 1-2 in the high jump, and a brave bronze in a flooded hammer throw circle.

  • The Netball dress debate: Cate and Bronte weigh in on the headlines surrounding the Aussie Diamonds' uniform fit and the double standard of outfit scrutiny in sports.

  • Game of Crowns: Cate extends her lead to 4–1 after predicting the high jump, before setting the stakes for the winning time in tomorrow’s women's 50m freestyle final. It's getting near must-win territory for Bronte!
