Gold Coast Comm Games

[Chris B.]

The Australians have got 51 fucking medals for swimming.

Seriously...there needs to be an investigation.

Where's Geoff Toovey when you need him?

[No Quarter]

The swimming is an outlier. There should be two medal tables, one with and one without swimming. Just completely distorts things.

[canefan]

It's Tom time

[Mokey]

Sophie Pascoe takes out the 100m breaststroke. YASS GIRL. (Only just from the Aussie, thought the pool length was at least 75 fucking metres.)

[Rancid Schnitzel]

If that Nigerian shot putter isn't on the roids he's got the genetics of the century.

[Mokey]

Walsh in second place after round 1.

[Mokey]

David Liti looking good in the weightlifting also. Right in contention.

He's on ripped fuel!

[canefan]

The Nigerian is dead last. Too much weights not enough speed work

[mikedogz]

samoan guy passed out in weightlifting. kiwi sorting out what colour medal.

[mikedogz]

The kiwi in front at weight lifting

[Mokey]

Walsh's third throw was bigger, but got the red flag. Hasn't quite hit his stride yet, but still leading.

[mikedogz]

pakistan guy last lift. lift to win

[Mokey]

Paul Coll won silver in the men's squash. Well beaten by the English guy, but still good effort.

[mikedogz]

Gold to David Liti

[Higgins]

That's good news indeed, he looks to be a real character. Right here in my part of Wellington we are suffering a rain shadow so no coverage at the moment. Fingers crossed it won't last too long.

[Mokey]

Games Record to Liti also. Top stuff. Not sure who the little blond lady is but they had a really long crying hug which was adorbs.

[Mokey]

Walsh improves slightly to 21.40, but still well down on his best. And leading.

[Mokey]

Walsh wins gold in the shot put, but nowhere near what he threw in qualifying. Also three fouls out of 6.

[Mokey]

So that's four gold and two silver today. Sensational haul, and moves us up to 3rd on the medal table!
