"The team has really gotten around each other. We've killed it this week and I hope that Australia is proud of our performance and we've done our absolute best for the country and we're going to go home with some extra luggage." Chalmers has been the centre of intense scrutiny over his personal life.

Ariarne Titmus, Sam Short and the women's 4x100m relay medley team picked up yet more gold as the swimming competition came to a close in Birmingham.

Lindfield and her partner Serena Bonnell enjoyed a successful venture to Leamington Spa when claiming the silver medal in the para women’s pairs (B6-B8) lawn bowls. Edgbaston was a sea of Australian green and gold for the match with some hockey players in attendance, much to the delight of bowler Alana King, who took one wicket. The Australian combination were eventually outclassed by Scotland when beaten 17-5, making it the nation’s second loss in a final at the venue to the Scots in as many days. 100m freestyle heroine Mollie O’Callaghan gave Canadian world champion Kylie Masse a scare in the 50m backstroke when beaten by just 0.16 seconds. The 18-year-old won a thrilling contest in 14:48.54, just over three seconds in front of Daniel Wiffen from Northern Ireland, with England’s Luke Turley third. She also won the 200m freestyle to complete a rare triple success.

Summer McIntosh is coming. Fast. But on this night, Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus had too much firepower to win Commonwealth gold in the 400m freestyle.

It was fitting they could share in her delight because she remains one of the genuine global superstars of a sport that has well and truly emerged from its post-Michael Phelps slumber. “I’m excited to get the job done for me and for the country. Most observers think the Commonwealth Games is a walk in the park for Australia’s top swimmers but Titmus sliced that another way. For now, Titmus is still the middle-distance titan and more than content with her week of work. I’m happy to get the job done, she (McIntosh) pushed me the whole way, I knew she would be there,” Titmus said. Titmus turned up the heat on McIntosh in the middle hundreds and was able to earn a body-length break, but no more.
