C'wealth Birmingham 2022

F#$% off. That Canadian ran past the Aussie. What BS. Judges must have been told to boost Canada's gold medal count.

Yeah they warned him for it but because of the system he was never going to the penalty box. All he needed was that break. The silliest event has the silliest rules.

Doubtful

Doubtful

Well of course not really. But as others have said, it's so arbitrary with judging. Why not get rid of race walking and introduce backwards running. Just as stupid but at least it's easier to judge.

Aussie ripped off in boxing. Judges mustn't have seen opponents head rocking back from hits straight in the moosh.......

 

[Richard Cranium]

The javelin has an incredibly high percentage of attractive competitors. Who'd have thought?

 

[AdelaideGT]

A great women's javelin final.

Double World Champ Kelsey-Lee Barber opens up with a big throw to say 'beat me if u can girls'.

And Mackenzie Little immediately responds with a huge PB to take the lead.

Can Barber respond as she has done in so many major championships - often doing it in the last round?

 

[AdelaideGT]

Whoah!! Another huge throw & PB for Mackenzie.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Kelsey-Lee showing again what a champion she is. Just amazing.

 

[eth-dog]

Just. How? Amazing throw

 

[Wallaby]

That's insane.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Kelsey Lee Barber loves winning on the last throw. 3 different championship wins with her last throw out of her 4 championship wins on the world stage.

Mackenzie Little 2 PBs and misses out on gold by half a foot after leading for 5 rounds.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Good to see the camaraderie. Our Aussie sheilas who chuck that spear have always been so supportive of each other, even when they are their biggest rivals.

If youre going to crash anywhere in the road race, Prior to kilometer 0 is the place to do it

 

[Drummond]

Wonder how the Aussies will fare here…

Oh wait, Browning.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Australia will win our 1000th Commonwealth Games gold medal sometime overnight.

Kelsey-Lee just took our tally to 995 and we have plenty of gold chances left.

What's the silver and bronze totals?

 

[eth-dog]

What's the silver and bronze totals?

826 and 763

 

[eth-dog]

It's insane, only 2 nations have more medals (total) than we do gold

Nice race from the Aussie girls

 

[royboy2]

Hopefully Durbidge can get in the breakaway here

Hopefully Durbidge can get in the breakaway here

If Scotson gets in a select group he'd be a sneaky chance at a selective sprint as long as Reinhardt Janse van Rensberg, Dion Smith and Cav aren't in it. Nice turn of pace.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Nice race from the Aussie girls

Shame they couldn't get the national record.

But promising for the future as we are missing two of our top sprinters - Hana Basic & Riley Day - as well as improving junior Torrie Lewis.

49kmph laps at the moment, wonder how long they can keep that up?

It'll be a 3 and a half hour race

Our men need to get some hints from the ladies about road race tactics. Cause at the moment we are no chance barring a miracle. Looks like we didn't have much of a plan except "lets see how it pans out".

It's not even a breakaway really. Basically the field split in half and we only had one man on the right side. And with so much talent up front and such a short race, they ain't coming back.
