The Commonwealth Games Thread [Day 4 - Athletics, Cycling, Swimming]

[Novo]

Young Hudson Smith holding off Chris Brown in the 4x400 relay to win us Gold :worship: we have reached our best ever Gold tally now since we won 3 boxing Golds in a row as well

[Brother Leon]

Quality final leg. Take a bow.

[Marc]

This 14 year old :joker: he looks so young!

[Headie]

That 4x4 win was the first Gold for England on the Athletics track (excluding parasports).

Hudson Smith will probably go into the Europeans in two weeks as fave to win Gold now, especially since Maslak is injured.

[Shaun]

i'm going to miss these games :( [not enough to bother watching world championships and stuff like that but still]

[Novo]

Heartbreaking stuff in the Hockey, 16 seconds away from the Gold after leading 1-0 and then we get beat in the shoutout, my Alex is in tears

[Black Dagger]

It is just a bit annoying that Daley will get all the credit and recognition when the girls and Laugher/Mears had a great games as well.

[Jack_]

Very nearly got gold in the last two squash matches, would've been nice for the last events to finish with us winning but ah well

That's the sport over :sad: loved the credits montage at the end of BBC1's coverage <3

Hoping for an Eddie Butler roundup this evening :amazed:

[Black Dagger]

Bit sad that it will all be over. Been obsessed. Not watched anything but the Commonwealth games bar the Eastenders omnibus since it's been on :laugh:

Constantly had the schedule up on my IPad as well so I knew all the results and what I had to watch when.

Looking forward to all the montages at the closing ceremony.

[Jack_]

Lulu confirmed for the closing ceremony tonight which is of course amazing but I've thought this since the opening...if The Proclaimers don't show up at some point someone's failed their job

[Black Dagger]

Still waiting for Michelle McManus tbh

[Jack_]

yaaaaaasss <33333

[Jack_]

slay it Lulu :worship:

[Novo]

The closing ceremony was a massive improvement in the opening ceremony even if he did feel like a new years eve party at times

[Black Dagger]

Prides were lovely. Kylie and Jessica Mauboy were also great as well.

Good show.

Right what is my next sporting event, I obvs have the football season and US Open coming up and worlds Gymnastics are in October and the Aquatic Europeans are in a couple of weeks. When is the Athletics on.

[the truth]

theyve broken loads of attendance records and tickets sales records...a few million sold.....i thought their opening and closing ceremonies were beautiful and heartfelt....obviously a much much smaller budget than london olympics but i found it more emotional....scotland is a fabulous country and they held a fabulouse games, bravo the jocks!!!
