Commonwealth Games: Live coverage of Day 8 from Glasgow

While the drama of the women’s individual pursuit was unfolding, history was made in the mens.

James Moriarty set a new Commonwealth Games record with a superb 4.05.677 run to jolt him into the gold medal race.

His new record will need to be smashed twice to upend the Aussie from the final race.

Australia’s Felicity Wilson-Haffenden has been dramatically disqualified ahead of her women’s individual pursuit bronze medal race.

Wilson-Haffenden, alongside teammate Sophie Edwards, have been struck down for alleged clothing and equipment issues.

She has been a breakout star and led the late charge in yesterday’s record-breaking gold medal win during the 4000m team pursuit against New Zealand.

Officials cited her disqualification came on a rule violation for “clothing and other items or accessories worn by a rider may not modify the morphology of the rider”.

While Ewards has been struck for “for using a helmet that has been altered or had any element added or removed in terms of design or form”.

New Zealand’s Bryony Brotha will take her place, leaving no Aussie in contention for a medal in the individual pursuit finals.

Tinka Easton picked up a win in the judo via yuko, timing out her opponent Shradda Chopade from India.

It was a closely bouted contest that went down to golden score.

Brooke Buschkuel has topped the second group in the long jump qualifers.

Clocking a season best 6.83m jump, she had no concerns about making the finals.

Ellen Fife has collected another win for the lawn bowls, sweeping her opponent for a 2-0 win.

Paul Trainor will box for the bronze medal after he was outmatched against the quick striking Dimeji Shittu.

The 24-year-old put up a fair fight, but ran into the Englishman that looks a favourite for gold.

Scored 30-27 for a 5-0 unanimous loss, Trainor will now box Canadian Joshua Ofori for bronze.

It was an 0-3 result for Australia in the eighth sprint finals, after Alessia McCaig was outclassed by Olympic champion Ellesse Andrews.

It was an event tighter race between Molly McGill and England’s Kate Marchant, but the Australian lost by a 0.012 margin in her games debut.

The women sprint eighth finals has seen the first Aussie domino fall, Liliya Tatarinoff losing to Wales’ Rhian Edmunds.

The knockout race saw Edmunds take the lead, but the Aussie was threatening and looked dangerously close to catching her late but just couldn’t close the final gap.

Just a 0.039 second margin seperated the winner and loser.

Jacob Cassar didn’t require a miracle comeback this time around, beating Khoahli via unanimous decision.

The judges all agreed that the Aussie left no doubt about the winner overwhelmingly scoring 30-27 for a 5-0 scorecard.

He will fight the winner of England’s Patris Mughalzai and Zambia’s Emmanuel Katema for the gold medal.
