First day of the athletics today and the track looks good at Alexander Stadium.
There are still heaps of people outside, but the stands are filling up. The clouds are breaking up, so it should be a nice warm day in Birmingham. There’s a bit of wind about, but it looks like it will be a tailwind for the men’s and women’s sprints which kick off this morning, with Australia’s fastest man, Rohan Browning, on the track.Here’s a look at the winners of the men’s 100m at past Commonwealth Games, and the time they ran to win gold.It was all smiles ahead of the women’s hockey match between Australia and New Zealand, but they weren’t to be seen as soon as the whistle was blown.
Both teams are undefeated coming into the match, but the Australians haven’t forgotten the gold-medal match loss to New Zealand on the Gold Coast in 2018. Kaitlin Knobbs opened up the scoring with a penalty goal for Australia, the fifth goal of the tournament for Knobbs. Australia lead 1-0 going into the second quarter.
