Kennedy just ran 9.85 legal in the 100 … that’s the fastest white man time in the event also I believe.

I always thought Kennedy was just a super strong 60 runner then fades but you don’t run 9.8s without good top end speed

Lost in the last 3 strides ......fantastic performance doing a PB in the semi and then another PB in the final

Can we break our 1994 tally-

1994 Commonwealth Games - Victoria, Canada

• 🥇 87 gold
• 🥈 52 silver
• 🥉 43 bronze
• 182 total medals

Victoria, Canada should have been Victoria, Australia this year.

Thanks Dan Andrews.

Maybe we could break the record if it wasn't a restricted program ....some sports are missing

Kiana Elliott put everything on the line in the Women's 63kg, narrowly missing a medal to finish fourth.
