Have the Commie Games on in the background and think I heard them say that is only the penultimate day of action. So it’s finishing on a Monday?

 

[misskarne]

So it would seem, which is an odd, odd scheduling choice, I must admit.

Did anyone catch why England was DQ from the Women's 4x400m? I changed events after the initial results came up.

Lane infringement, apparently.

Too bad that the dramatic photo finish ended up being irrelevant, but woo, happy for Team Canada there.

Also sad for Sage Watson, the team’s leader for many years, who was unable to compete this season and thus missed the Canadian women’s best relay result in decades.

Australia won it's 1000th Commonwealth Games gold medal when the Diamonds won the Netball overnight - how very fitting.

The only more fitting result would have been if the thousandth was the cricket gold. The Australian Women's team are the reigning T20 World Champions, One Day World Champions, and Ashes winners; and now they are the Commonwealth Games champions too. If women played more Tests I've no doubt they'd be the Test Champions too. They are, without doubt, the greatest women's cricket team of all time and one of the greatest sporting teams of all time.
