Key Events
Wrapping up
That’s where we leave our live coverage for Day 4 - another huge one for the Aussies in Scotland’s largest city.
Join us later this afternoon as we fire up our Day 5 coverage! We’ll chat to you then!
Medal wrap
So that’s a whopping NINE gold medals among 20 total medals on Day 4 in Glasgow!
Rose Davies taking out the women’s 10,000m on the track gave us a rare long-distance highlight, while gymnast Kate McDonald got our other non-swimming gold with victory on the uneven bars.
In the pool, it was Meg Harris who got past compatriot Mollie O’Callaghan in the 100 free, while Sam Short (800m free), Jenna Forrester (400 IM), Alex Perkins (100 butterfly), Sam Williamson (50 breast) and Beau Matthews (SB9 100 breast) all saluted. We also took out the women’s 4x200m freestyle final.
Done on track
Jamaica’s Demario Prince has won the men’s 110m hurdles final, which will be the last event on the track at Glasgow’s Scotstoun Stadium for today.
Earlier, Australia’s Archie Hewett ran an Australian record of 4min7.71sec in the men’s 1500m T20 final, which was good enough for fourth.
The women’s shot put F57 final is also reaching the closing stages, with Australians Julie Charlton and Ainsley Hooker out of the medal places.
Silver for Muller
The pool action has wrapped up for today, but there’s still plenty happening in the track and field at Scotstoun Stadium.
Australia’s Ullrich Muller has just won a silver medal in the men’s 100m T38 final in a time of 11.19sec.
His compatriot, 15-year-old Thomas McGough, ran an 11.74 for fourth.
Meanwhile, Australia’s Yuap Reath is out of the men’s high jump final after being unable to clear 2.15m.
Australia secure seventh swimming gold medal of night
Australia’s 4x200m freestyle team have secured what is our seventh gold medal of the night in the pool.
Lani Pallister, Hannah Casey, Inez Miller opened up a considerable gap which was driven home by Mollie O’Callaghan, who secured a time of 7min42.53sec.
Even the normally-frantic coach Dean Boxall was calm on the pool deck in the latter stages.
O’Callaghan, who is battling back stress fractures in her back, said she was “tossing and turning” over whether to compete in the event, but did so because of the support of her teammates.
“I didn’t want to let them down after the 100,” O’Callaghan told Channel Seven.
“My body’s not in the greatest shape, but sometimes, when you’re not at your best, you’ve just got to give it your best.”
Silver and bronze in men’s 200m butterfly final
Australia’s Harrison Turner led for much of the men’s 200m butterfly final, but did not have enough in reserve to hold off a strong finish from gold medallist Lewis Clareburt of New Zealand.
Turner’s 1min55.38sec was good enough for a silver medal, and Matthew Temple found a second wind at the 150m mark to claim bronze with a 1:55.45.
Tuohy’s through
No problems for Australia’s Sienna Tuohy in the women’s 50m breaststroke semifinals.
The 17-year-old was fastest through her heat in a time of 30.58sec.
Backing up from the women’s 400m individual medley, Tara Kinder missed out on a spot in the final, producing a 32.05.
What’s happening on the field
Elsewhere around Scotstoun Stadium, Yual Reath staved off elimination in the men’s high jump final by clearing 2.10m when required.
Meanwhile, Julie Charlton and Ainsley Hooker are in the middle of the pack in the women’s shot put F57 final.
Rose runs home
A “stoked” Rose Davies is delighted to have become Australia’s first gold medallist in the women’s 10,000m.
“I’m jusr so happy I got the win - it’s my first big win ever and to do it at the Commonwealth Games is a dream come true,” Davies told Channel Seven.
“I’m kind of speechless right now, but I’m so happy.”
Short claims comfortable gold in men’s 800m freestyle
As expected, Sam Short was way too good in the men’s 800m freestyle final, cruising to a gold medal in a time of 7min39.81sec.
And it was an Australian clean sweep of the podium, with Ben Goedemans’ 7:46.49 good enough for silver and Commonwealth Games debutant Matthew Galea holding off a challenge from Northern Ireland’s Daniel Wiffin to win bronze in 7:47.10.
That’s Australia’s sixth gold medal of the morning - and the men’s 200m butterfly and women’s 4x200m freestyle finals are still to come.
