GOLD and green: Aussies claim nine gold in staggering ... (Fox Sports)

Australia has delivered its greatest day of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, claiming a whopping nine gold medals - and securing some equally impressive ...

I didn’t think that at the time but I think with hindsight it did, it set in that self-belief. A dominant quarter-final and semi-final performance has Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Taliqua Clancy into the gold medal match. England - whose men have never reached the gold medal match - racked up a massive 14 penalty corners but could not convert in the match. First up, Kaye Scott is through to the gold medal fight after winning her women’s light middleweight boxing semi-final against Alcinda Helena Panguane on points. “I thought, ‘What is that?’. I looked down and there was a big nail in my foot and a plank of wood. But Australia began the day brilliantly with five golds in the early hours and didn’t slow down from there, adding four more overnight to finish the day on 59 golds, ahead of England’s 50. It drew a little bit of blood. “It is one of those that will etch in the history books forever. “I feel like I’m continuing the legacy of really strong Australian race walking and to go back-to-back, winning on the Gold Coast four years ago really changed my life. “I’m so sorry to these boys and everyone at home. I’ve got a little bubba Summer who is seven months old and my partner,” he said. Rohan would not have been able to do a lot of this training, he would have been focusing on getting his body right.

The 2022 Commonwealth Games may be finishing up today, but for Birmingham's tourism industry the real work has only just begun.

We need something that brings people together, something they can enjoy,” Rami said. In 2019 the West Midlands region’s visitor economy was worth almost $23 billion dollars, up by 3.6 per cent from the previous year, attracting 134 million visitors. “At the moment, it’s an afterthought. “We needed this. “We need to get the airline support to come into Birmingham. We need enough connections through to Australia.” They [tourists] go to London, they go to Manchester, they go to Scotland, they go to the Lake District because these are the well-known, promoted places.”

A strong finish to the game from England cut the lead to four at 52-48 with a little more than one minute to play, but three late goals ensured that New Zealand took bronze with a 55-48 victory. They preserved their six-goal lead at the end of the third quarter at 41-35, and four goals in quick succession at the start of the fourth from Grace Nweke ended any hopes of an England comeback. The world number one-ranked side made a rampant start and took a 13-7 lead, but a rally from Jamaica reduced the deficit to 14-12 at the end of the first quarter.

Netballers win Australia's 1000th Commonwealth Games gold medal (The Guardian)

Australia hold a decisive lead on host nation England on the medal table after claiming the nation's 1000th Games gold on day 10 in Birmingham.

Her compatriot Mackenzie Little raised the bar with a personal best in the final of 64.27m. But Barber, who was cleared to compete late in the week, loves a challenge. As Australia’s cricket innings began, Chris McHugh and Paul Burnett also clinched a gold medal for the nation in beach volleyball. Earlier on Sunday, the Hockeyroos also fared second best in their final against England when beaten 2-1. Another rush of gold in Birmingham saw Australia reach a major milestone as the Diamonds netball team claimed the nation’s 1,000th Commonwealth Games gold medal. Steph Wood said there were flashbacks to the traumatic loss in the final against England on the Gold Coast but this time around they found a way to maintain their focus. Chef de Mission Petria Thomas said it was an honour to have led the team towards such a momentous occasion.

Any team will come with their best and we should give our best every single match, so that’s what we did.” The goal stood after a video referral but England refused to surrender. But England, ranked sixth in the world, started on the front foot and forced a series of penalty corners, the last of which produced a skirmish and David Goodfield firing wide. From the last of those chances, England launched a superb counter-attack and Roper raced onto Wallace’s pass. Goals from Phil Roper, his fifth of the tournament, and skipper Zach Wallace gave England a shock 2-0 lead in Birmingham. Australia, ranked number one in the world, were hot favourites to make a seventh successive Commonwealth Games final.

Birmingham 2022: Aussie Recap- Day 10 (The Inner Sanctum)

The penultimate day of the 2022 Commonwealth Games saw plenty of Aussies go for gold, while some sought the chance to make their name on the final day.

The final athletics event contested by Aussies was the women’s 5000m final, where Isobel Batt-Doyle, Rose Davies and Natalie Rule competed. The other Aussie competing, Samantha Dale, finished in 10th place. Keeney scored very well, resulting in a significant gap ahead of the runner-up. Fellow Aussie Samuel Fricker narrowly missed out on qualification initially, finishing 13th, but then was able to move on to the final with other competitors pulling out. The final event of the day saw the Aussies compete against Jamaica in the gold medal match, looking to avenge their loss in 2018 and their previous defeat to Jamaica in the group stage. The result means the Aussies were the first team to win a gold medal for cricket in the Commonwealth Games, adding on to their previous success outside of Birmingham. The Aussies won the first set 24-22, before falling to defeat in the final two and missing out on the gold medal. The men’s duo took on Canada in the first gold medal match and were relegated to a first set defeat. The women’s team then also took on Canada in its gold medal match in the last match in the sand for the day. The mixed doubles bronze medal match saw an eerily similar result to the men’s doubles earlier in the day, with the duo also falling to a 3-1 defeat against Singapore in the final match of the day. The diving began with the qualifying rounds, with finals later on in the day and completing on Day 11. The duo then competed in the bronze medal match later in the day against India and were defeated 2-0, denying them a place on the podium and the bronze.
