    Our two mountain bikers are out in front 1-2 with a 30+ second lead. Going great

    And they did it, gold and silver for the mountain bikers. Gaze gets back to back Comm Games gold.

    Happy for Ben Oliver who came 4th four years ago, and gets the silver

    The Namibian did well to get the bronze, breaking away from a small group.

    Extremely average course. Most of it was more like cyclocross on a dirt track. Nothing like the Olympic level in technical features. Suited a rider like Gaze that does road as well although he did also keep making ground on the few technical bits.

    Great that the two of them cleared away on the first lap and stayed there.

    Pretty sure that Pidcock would have ridden away if he was there. Gaze would have given him a battle though.

    Zoe Hobbs about to run the 100 final. Impressive running style. So balanced and still

    Hobbs runs 6th? Maybe 5th. Not bad for a white girl.

    Edit: 6th. 2/100ths behind 4th.

    Yeah, a good effort for 6th. A pity Zoe couldn't run a PB.

    She already did one in the quarters didn’t she? Has reduced her time a few times recently so big ask to do so again in the final.

    I think her PB was in the heats in Eugene. As someone said on the Stuff blog, Hobbs has had a long season just to qualify. I was just hoping she would be pulled along by the faster runners in the final.

    Fantastic squash final between Coll and Makin.

    Great watch.

    Down to the wire but Coll’s superior all round game saw him home

    @Bovidae Read an article about how underfunded our swimmers are and how well they have done. How many medals have we won overall in the pool?

    They said in one of the NZ post-race interviews that the Australian swimming programme gets $30M in funding. NZ swimming got ~$1M from HPSNZ. Even taking into account the population difference that is a huge disparity.

    Swimming needs it’s own comp, far too many medals for swimming. Fowards, backwards, floppping about, with friends…

    Yes, super proud of him.

    He won a lot of fans last night, and this match will be the making of him.

    The variety of shots he played really expanded his game, and he's served notice to the 6 players above him in the world rankings.
