2026 Commonwealth Games Glasgow

SA now 4th on the medals table behind Aus (obviously), Nigeria and Scotland.

Missed the 2 bronze medals from the men's and women's relays last night.
 
What's this military for medals nonsense now? Didn't have that last night.

They did. Saw a couple of medals last night and the military stuff was there. They do it at the Olympics too when they raise the flags.
 
Great, Chad is at least in the Butterfly finals. I'm done for the evening.

Damn just missed out on the Silver but what a Gold from Coetze.

Geez look the rig he has no wonder he is so fast in the water.

Yet he's a fairly small guy for a top swimmer...
I wonder how many years it took for him to build up to that - looks perfect.
 
What are some of our other medal prospects? Simbine and Bayaza (spelling?) on the track I suppose. Any opportunities in the field?

England issue update on gymnast Gabriel Langton after horror fall at Commonwealth Games - The Independent​

The ⁠incident cast a shadow over the remainder of the competition, with England settling for silver behind Canada in the men’s team final

England’s Gabriel Langton has been released from hospital after a horror fall during the men’s team gymnastics final at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Langton, 19, landed on his head after coming off the horizontal bar, bringing the action inside the arena to a halt. He received medical treatment on the floor for several minutes before taken away on a stretcher wearing a head brace.

Team England said in a statement:

“Gabriel was transferred to the hospital as a precautionary measure overnight and underwent multiple scans today, with very positive results. Thankfully, he has been cleared of any serious injury complications and will be discharged to return to the team hotel this evening.”

“He is in good spirits and hugely grateful for the many messages of support and the excellent care provided by the medical teams. He is looking forward to being reunited with the team to celebrate his silver medal.”

Langton was later pictured with his medal at the team hotel.

The ⁠incident cast a shadow over the remainder of the competition, with England settling for silver behind Canada after action resumed.

Australia claimed bronze, securing their first men's team gymnastics medal since winning gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.

Langton, who had been drafted into the ‌squad as a replacement for injured six-time Olympic medallist Max Whitlock, could not celebrate his ‌team's podium finish.

"From what ⁠we've heard, he's doing OK," said Langton's teammate, ⁠Luke Whitehouse.

"Gymnastics is such a dangerous sport and things like this ‌remind us of that. It's one of those ‌things you have to put out of your mind."

Watch the weightlifting and record the swimming, or visa-versa... :unsure:
 
Another gold for Pieter Coetze in the 200m backstroke!! And yet another Games record.
 
Silver for SA's Canny in the women's 200m individual medley. Would have won gold if she wasn't so bad at backstroke lol
