Commonwealth Games LIVE: Woods won gold, but was forced into a re-run; Games record falls multiple times in as track cycling continues

It’s almost an hour after her race when Felicity Wilson-Haffenden comes through the media zone.

After needing extra recovery and attention following her all-out performance in individual pursuit qualifying, the first question is obvious: how are you feeling?

Australia’s Brooke Buschkuehl needed one attempt to leap into the final of the women’s long jump.

Competing in Group B, Buschkuehl flew for a season’s best 6.83m, a distance that clearly passed the qualifying distance, thus booking her a place.

She looked overjoyed as the distance was announced.

Fellow Aussie, Delta Amidzovski is nervously waiting to see if she will also make the top 12 but her distance of 6.55m will be very close to the cutoff.

Australia’s Felicity Wilson-Haffended has qualified fourth fastest in the women’s 4000m individual pursuit to lock herself into a spot in the bronze medal match against Scotland’s Erin Boothman.

But the 21-year-old has not looked in a good way since she finished qualifying. She needed help from the track and extra recovery time after giving it her all in qualifying.

The gold medal race will be between England’s Josie Knight and Anna Morris from Wales.

Australia’s 4x400m mixed relay team have qualified for third-fastest for the final in their heat in Glasgow this evening.

Nigeria won the heat in 3:14.58 with Australia close behind on 3:15.21 followed by Jamaica on 3:17.36.

England won the second heat followed by Kenya and Scotland.

The Australian team for the heat was Mia Gross, Jemma Pollard, Cooper Sherman and Luke van Ratingen.

The final is due to run on Saturday AEST.

Australia’s Delta Amidzovski faces a nervous wait to see if she will make the 12-athlete final for the women’s long jump.

Amidzovski jumped 6.55m to finish fifth in group A of the competition but was short of the qualifying distance, which was only passed by two jumpers.

The best 12 jumpers will make the final.

Fellow Aussie Brooke Buschkuehl will jump in group B which will shortly begin its competition.

She won gold in the women’s team pursuit yesterday, and now Felicity Wilson-Haffenden sets the fastest in the individual pursuit with a time of 4:32.323.

The 4000m is a new distance for the women’s individual pursuit, which means Wilson-Haffenden gets the Games record for the event.

But that race seems to have taken its toll on the 21-year-old as she’s assisted from the track and looks very shaky.

The top two riders from qualifying progress through to the gold medal race, while the third and fourth-fastest race for the bronze. Twelve more riders to come.

Australia’ Sophie Edwards and Claudia Marcks are still to come.

Australia’s Alessia McCaig, Molly McGill and Liliya Tatarinoff are all through to the women’s sprint 1/8 finals after finishing eighth, 10th and 12th in the first round of qualifying.

It was quite the qualifying, with the Games record being broken three times during the event - first by England’s Rhianna Parris-Smith who finished in a time of 10.514, before countrywoman Sophie Capewell shaved 0.056 seconds off that to set a new record of 10.458.

But then came Emma Finucane from Wales. Last out on track, Finucane blitzed through her qualifying round to slice 0.136 seconds off Capewell’s time and claim the record.

Defending champion, New Zealand’s Ellesse Andrews, finished ninth fastest - the top 16 riders are taken through to the 1/8 finals.

Brilliant scenes at the athletics track as Scotland’s Melanie Woods has won the gold medal and set a Games record for the women’s T54 1500m final.

Woods won a crash-marred race just under two days ago and set a Games record, but after protests from Australia and Mauritius, organisers ruled the race should be re-run today.

Woods looked very emotional under her racing glasses following the race as she led from start to finish to post a Games record time of 3:32.20.

Mauritius racer Noemi Alphonse finished second in 3:32.98 and Australia’s Eliza Ault-Connell finished third in 3:40.84.

The final of the women’s 1500m T54 will be re-raced on Friday night (AEST) after Australian veteran Eliza Ault-Connell’s successful protest.

Ault-Connell was taken out by Canada’s Nandini Sharma, who was disqualified.

Scotland’s Melanie Woods crossed the line first in the initial race and looms as the rival to beat for Ault-Connell, who at 44 years old is at her fourth Games.

The race saw carnage due to several incidents as multiple athletes were forced to ground or off the track.

Sharma’s disqualification remains in place leaving six of the original seven competitors in this race.

The medals were not due to be presented until yesterday, so no one has to be stripped of their physical medals from the first race.
