🥉4

With our best gold haul in a day, Australia sitting at #1 on the medal tally with 59 Gold, 46 Silver and 50 Bronze.

That poor guy who just edged ahead 5 metres from the finish line thought he had won until Hoare came past him and the 2nd place guy stumbled, I think he was in shock that Hoare beat him... He almost tried to lurch over the line and I think this made him trip and nearly fall ...

Totally agree.

Special mention to Peter Bol! I love this guy!

Despite a VERY salty English crowd, our girls won GOLD!
Also our 1,000th Commonwealth Games gold medal!

(I felt the booing from the crowd was a bit much! Obviously still upset we took out the English).

Favourite Aussie moment of the games - someone in the crowd at the Volleyball final shouting "Come on Australia - do it for Neighbours!"
