Title: Common wealth Games
Post by: seifullaah73 on April 05, 2018, 02:34:25 pm
I didn't realize it had already started. I was expecting to start around july.

A lot of medals already won in the early days. Gonna catch up and watch tomorrow. Want to watch weighlifting, athletics and maybe boxing don't know.

Pakistan has a small team but already won a medal: bronze in men's 62kg weightlifting. Dude snatched 132kg, which is extremely legit.

Their lone female track athlete's bio blurb includes this: "Selected by her teacher for athletics competitions because of her height. When she told her teacher she did not want to try athletics, she was told that if she did not, she would be kicked out of school." Cool, cool, cool.

Their lone male track athlete is a javelin thrower.

Two athletics competitors from a country of 200+ million is pretty sad. They really only care about cricket here.

Very true. Most Pakistanis aspire towards cricket and few in football. It is sad.

I was hoping Trae Williams could make the 100m final...it wasn't to be.

Browning was soo close to making the 100m final!

South African Henricho Bruintjies ran the exact same time as Browning – 10.26s - but he was given second and the automatic qualification and not Browning when the time was taken to a third decimal place. He lost a place in the final by a thousandth of a second. Trae Williams ran 10.28. Gemili made the final for England but he has now withdrawn due to injury.

Long Jump-
Henry Frayne has set a new Commonwealth Games record and personal best of 8.34m eclipsing his personal mark from 2012 by 7cm. Frayne leaps past two great names of Australian long jumping, Olympic silver medallist Gary Honey and 1998 Commonealth winner Peter Burge, to become the 4th best Australian ever.

Nigel amos has an unorthodox form as if he's soo tired he's form has broken and he is just trying to get to the finish he's arm is reaching out.

I think he should stick to longer races.

Langford almost got the kenyan in that race. oh well.

the 200m infraction by hughes omg.

ha.

He eventually got the national record for the marathon tho. He just seemed like he didn't want to follow the process.. which is fine, he's an athlete. He shouldn't give much of a fu*k about that stuff. Nike & such (his sponsors/agents) should handle all of that for him and just send him something to sign perhaps, that's it. It seemed he was also annoyed that the previous record holder didn't reach out to him, so he probably felt NZ was trying to snub him. NZ knows better tho, can't snub this dude, he's only going to get better.

He also got that national 10k road record for NZ with his 27:26 a few weeks ago, I think.

So ofc you obviously won't find any videos of the races from the gold coast unless on social media a small bit or bad quality. So I watched the 10k race and uploaded the video on youtube after editing the unnecessary other athletics event because it is a long event and then i find out it is only allowed in certain countries cos of bbc copyright content restricted to uk.

But the race was close but the first and second place runners just kicked it to another gear towards the last lap or so.

so here is the video.

And for the people who can't watch the youtube video cos it's blocked in your country then you have the link below.

Man was I bored so I decided to watch the netball final. I know but since england was in it I wanted to watch.

I never watched any match but this match on australian home soil, audience cheering them on and England pull it off and win the gold medal and made history.

I was so nervous but they finally pulled it off at the last seconds. Awesome match.

I watched the full match, must see. so proud of Team GB.
