Four years of chasing this moment
Australia’s star-studded athletics team has another gold medal after Mackenzie Little – the brilliant athlete who is a doctor at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney – won the women’s javelin.
Little won with a throw of 61.88m, ahead of New Zealand’s Tori Moorby (60.04m) and Kenya’s Irene Jepkemboi (57.85m).
Mackenzie Little turns Birmingham heartbreak into Glasgow glory, upgrading silver to gold and becoming a Commonwealth champion.

That must be so soul destroyingThe women's 200m final at Scotstoun delivered a Games record, a gold medal, and a silence that said more than any of it.
When Adaejah Hodge crossed the line in 22.07 on Friday night, the usual choreography of a championship final didn't follow. No congratulatory hugs. No lap-of-honour camaraderie. The seven women behind her simply got on with their own business, and the gold medallist from the British Virgin Islands celebrated largely alone.
Nobody watching trackside needed it explained. Torrie Lewis certainly wasn't going to explain it, because she'd been told not to.

Brooke Buschkuehl snares Bronze in the women’s long jump.
Buschkuehl has now won two Silver medals and a Bronze across three Commonwealth Games.
And her Bronze comes only 11 months after she gave birth to her beloved boy Bobby.

Australia’s Cameron Myers picked up Silver in the Mens Mile, clocking 3:55.26
Great determination in a choppy final.
The Australian mile record holder produced a perfectly timed charge over the closing stages, surging to silver and adding another medal to Australia's tally in Glasgow.

This is the ultimate participation trophy.
Tarona Taafaki of Tuvalu won her country’s first-ever Commonwealth Games medal without winning a single fight.
With only five boxers in the women’s 75kg category, she received a bye straight into the semi-finals.
She then lost every round of her only bout and was eliminated.
Under Commonwealth Games boxing rules, both semi-final losers automatically receive bronze medals (there are no bronze-medal matches).
