Amalie Smith is “really tired" but so so happy”. She wasn’t expecting anything as everyone in the race is such an incredible swimmer and it’s really good to have so many good opponents. I thought this of her last evening and it’s even clearer now she’s nabbed a medal: she takes all this in her stride, an equilibrium that’ll take her a very long way.
Such is the rain, the field events have been suspended. But we’ve got the heptathlon 200m at 8.04, then the men’s 10,000m final at 8.25.
That’s after his silver in the 200m medley yesterday. William Petric of Australia takes silver and Lorne Wigginton of Canada bronze.
Back in the pool, Clareburt leads through the breast, from Petric, from Wigginton, and this race looks over, the New Zealander so strong.
Time for the third and final semi of the women’s 100m, and Amy Hunt, the 200 specialist, is caught in the blocks but powers through, with hobbs of NZ second.
Wigginton still leads as they plough through the backstroke – he’s trying to win it from the front, and he’s a full body-length clear.
In they go and Wigginton of Canada leads, from Petric of Australia, from Clareburt of NZ.
Straight into the men’s 400m individual medley final…
Imani Lansiquot of England is way ahead, McCreath of Canada follows her over the line, and those are the automatic qualifiers.
OK, now let’s catch up with the second semi of the women’s 100m…
Aimee Canny of South Africa takes silver and 16-year-old Amalie Smith of England grabs bronze. Shanahan has to make do with fourth, but what a race.
Smith leads but Canny comes back, AND HERE COMES FORRESTER!
But through the breats, Smith pulls ahead and she leads from Caanny from Forrester, and what a finish this is going to be.
Canny of SA leads at 50m, but is immediately overtaken at the turn, Smith in front and Forrester next, then Wood, also of England, but out in lane eight, Katie Shanahan powers through to move ahead…
Out come our women for the 200m individual medley. I’m excited to see how the 16-year-old Amalie Smith does – though she’ll have to go some to get near Australia’s Jenna Forrester.
That was impressive from Lewis, who cements herself as a serious contender. It’s still raining heavily.
Lewis of Australia wins in 11.00, Canada’s Leduc takes second, and Jodean Williams of Jamaica is third
Lewis starts well and Chukwuma is going backwards…
Our women are ready for the first semi of the 100m, Nigeria’s Rosemary Chukwuma one to watch.
But while that final race was in progress, we had Stephen Clegg’s medal ceremony, the whole arena singing Flower of Scotland. I can’t begin to imagine how that felt for him and his family.
in five minutes, we’ve got the women’s semis, and in seven it’s the final of the women’s 200m individual medley.
Blake’s time of 10.06 isn’t quick enough for the final; Azamati and Saminu, both of Ghana, complete the final line-up as the two fastest losers.
It’s a clean break at the start but I think Leotlela of SA is in front, and he wins from Nketiah of Australia, from Blake of Jamaica.
So to the third semi of the men’s 100m…
Matt Richards of Wales takes silver with Kyle Chalmers of Australia hanging on for bronze.
Southam leads at 50m, Chalmers chasing, and Southam hangs on as Richards of Wales comes through…
So to the men’s 100m free…
Nigeria’s Ajayi wins in 9.94, Azu is second, and I think Saminu is third. Omanyala of Kenya, the defending champion, is gawn.
Ajayi reacts well and he leads with Azu of Wales coming through.
It’s absolutely teeming, by the way, and down they go again…
Yup, I’m afraid he’s gone, and I don’t get it, really I don’t. I mean I do, but also, I don’t
Nkoana of South Africa goes early, and I’m afraid he faces a DQ…
Off we go to the second semi of the men’s 100m, Saminu of Ghana and Ajayi of Nigeria ones to watch. Meantime the men emerge for the 100m free final, Kyle Chalmers among them.
Danika Vyncke of South Africa takes silver and Jenna Jones of Australia bronze.
Hayes of Australia leads from Vyncke of RSA and Jones, also of Australia.
Now the women’s live…
Nathan Hendricks of South Africa takes silver and Nicolas Turbide of Canada bronze.
Clegg of Scotland leads off the start but England’s Redfern closes and this is so close. Clegg comes back but can he hold on …?
Right, I paused the final of the men’s 50m freestyle S13, so let’s watch that now…
Azamati is out quickly but Kennedy and Eseme are full of running. Both power past, Eseme winning in 9.89s; they said the track was quick and, especially given the rain, that time proves it. He and Kennedy go through; Azamati must wait.
Benjamin Azamati of Ghana, though, has a quicker PB than both, running 9.90 earlier this year. At 28, this is the chance of his lifetime.
Strong Edinburgh 1986 vibes with the weather here, but our 100m men are out for the first semi. I’m looking forward to seeing how Lachlan Kennedy of Australia goes, but Cameroon’s Emmanuel Esseme is also capable.
Before moving to the pool, I’m watching Lucy Kings-Wheatley look to steal her fight against Josefien Betist of Sierra Leone in the last eight of the women’s 60kg boxing. She needs a big final round and though she doesn’t get one, she does land the biggest shot of it … and it’s enough! She’s filched it, and is now guaranteed a medal.
We’re not far off the start of action in pool and on track. As regards the latter, I can’t pretend we’re not missing some of those I’d most like to enjoy, but I’m eager to see how the lesser lights handle the glare, in the hope that we’re in at the start of some big-time careers.
Lynn talks about winning medals at a home Games in front of your best friends, and that does seem like something of a buzz; Ward talks about the creeping stress once he was leading the all-around and the gold was in prospect. He decided to go for it, nailed his high bar routine, then the crowd and his team lost it.
Reuben Ward and Cam Lynn are in the TNT studio, and what a time those boys huv hud. Ward took gold in the all-around and silver on the horse, while Lynn took bronze in the latter, the extent to which they enjoyed each other’s joy affirming and exhilarating.
In the pool tonight, we’ve got Chad le Clos and Cameron McEvoy in the men’s 50m fly semis, Kyle Chalmers too – who also goes earlier in the 100m free final. Not bad.
Oh my days! Leading Malaysia 19-16 in the 3x3, seeking a semi-final spot, Scotland are almost there, then … Kyle Jimenez flings one. on the fall, from the far corner …. and it drops in! People will be blathering about that for decades, and Scotland are into the semis!
Kukundawe won a silver medal last evening.
