Commonwealth Games: Matt Walls involved in serious track cycling crash
The 2022 Commonwealth Games continue today with 28 gold medals up for grabs in a variety of sports. England’s Adam Peaty returns to the pool for the 50m breaststroke heats after missing out on the medals in yesterday’s 100m final. It was a shocking defeat for the Englishman – and his first since 2015 – as compatriot James Wilby took the gold while Peaty said he had “nothing left in the tank with 25 meters to go”.
England, Scotland and Wales are all involved in the semi-finals of the lawn bowls this morning, before Ashley Mckenzie, the 2014 Commonwealth gold medalist, gets to work in the 60kg judo division. In the Arena, the first day of the individual apparatus final offers five gold gymnastics medals. England’s Courtney Tulloch tries to defend his 2018 ring gold, while teammate Giarnni Regini-Morgan is a European silver medalist in the floor event. Northern Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan – who has been cleared to participate after an argument over his eligibility – is the favorite to pick up the gold with bows he also won in 2018.
Today is also the last day for track cycling. England’s Matt Walls won the Tokyo 2020 points race en route to winning the Olympic omnium title but is not involved after his horrific crash yesterday, so New Zealand’s Campbell Stewart, who won Olympic silver behind Walls, is the favourite. For Scotland, 2018 silver medal winner Neah Evans could do even better in the women’s scratch race, although Laura Kenny is expected to ride her for England.
