“If you go back even further, before Tokyo, the fact that he raced in Tokyo, that was fantastic on its own, because of the cancer scare that he had. And just look at the face of Matthew Glaezter; this hurts more than when he hit the deck at 70km/h.” “The judges, you have to respect their decision – I’m not sure I respect this one, to be honest. “He was happy to be on the boards in Tokyo just because of that cancer challenge. I just don’t think there would have been. “There was a comeback later in the week where he was managing to get back on track after a terrible start for the Aussie team.

Commonwealth Games: Matthew Glaetzer misses out on bronze ... (The West Australian)

Australian cyclist Matthew Glaetzer has been left devastated after his bronze medal in the individual sprint was revoked post-race.

A heartbroken Glaetzer looked devastated in the wake of the decision, sitting off by himself and looking stunned as the bronze medal was cruelly ripped away from him. It came a day after Glaetzer, a gold medal winner in the team sprint, crashed out of the Keirin as he attempted to win his third straight title in that discipline, and the cyclist still bore the visible scars and grazes from Saturday’s clash. The pair went wheel-to-wheel and shoulder-to-shoulder in the third heat of their bronze medal race, before Glaetzer sped away from Carlin to claim a medal.

The any time limit contact is when Jack Carlin swung back up the track and even fact touched Matt Glaetzer. If anyone got impeded it was Matt Glaetzer. But the judges, you have to respect their decision. “This is just absolute heartbreak for him. There were also suggestions Carlin had initiated the contact after he moved off his line and got in the way of Glaetzer unfairly. I don’t even think Jack Carlin will be pleased at that turnaround.
