Young Australian Ky Robinson took full advantage of the cracking pace set by rising Ugandan star Jacob Kiplimo and the Kenyan contingent to make a real mark in a red-hot 10,000m final at the Commonwealth Games. After narrowly missing medals at both the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth and then the Tokyo Olympics, the big man of Australian athletics has his sights set on a Birmingham medal. The Athletics Australia star has progressed to the 800m final where he is attempting to become the first Australian man to win the 800m since Peter Bourke at the Brisbane 1982 Commonwealth Games breaking a 40-year drought. The first Australian to win a medal in the 2022 Games at Alexander Stadium was para-athletics sprinter Rhiannon Clarke who was third in the women’s T37/38 final won by Olivia Breen from Wales in 12.83. To the delight of the crowd, Kennedy defied tricky windy conditions to then have three unsuccessful cracks at what would have been a new Commonwealth record of 4.76m. The Gold Coast 2018 bronze medallist has enjoyed a golden return at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
