Commonwealth Games live: Kyle Chalmers, Kaylee McKeown, Emma McKeon lead another golden morning for Australian in Birmingham pool

A little earlier, Australia’s women’s 3×3 basketball team lost their semi-final against England 21-15.

That means Australia will face off against New Zealand, who lost to Canada in their semi, for the bronze.

That game is at 1.30am AEST tomorrow.

To recap, five gold and two silver medals

Kaylee McKeown picked up one of each, with gold in the 200m backstroke and silver in the 200m individual medley less than an hour later.

Kyle Chalmer started the morning with gold in the 100m freestyle, while Emma McKeon continued her golden Games by winning the 50m butterfly final just ahead of teammate Holly Barratt.

We also saw Matt Levy win gold in the 50m freestyle S7 to cap off his remarkable career, and then the men’s 4x200m freestyle team brought it home in a romp.

It’s still only the second quarter but Australia’s dominant performance is continuing in this pool match against the Kiwis.

Jake Whitton, Jacob Anderson and Blake Govers have put points on the board so far. We’ll keep you updated.

This is… quite gross.

Billy McAllister was progressing well in his match against Jerone Ennis but a nasty hit has opened up basically his entire eyebrow and ended the fight early.

It means the Jamaican takes the win.

They keep showing close-ups of it. I feel ill now.

There’s a photo of it coming up.

Fair warning.

If you keep scrolling…

…you’re gonna see it.

OKAY?

OKAY.

Elijah Winnington, Flynn Southam, Zac Incerti and Mack Horton hit the water for the Aussie team.

The second leg from 17-year-old Southam was particularly impressive, seeing off a big challenge from South African great Chad le Clos and giving Incerti a body-length lead over Wales as he started the penultimate leg.

He turned that into an almost four-second lead over England by the time he handed over to Horton for the anchor and he powered home in a Commonwealth Games record time of 7:04.96.

English anchor swimmer Tom Dean got out of the pool before the final swimmer from Gibraltar had finished, but the English will keep their silver medal. Wales got bronze.

Chelsea Hodges, Jenna Strauch and Abbey Harkin will all swim in the final tomorrow, but they’ll have a massive job to track down South African duo Lara van Niekerk and Tatjana Schoenmaker, who qualified fastest.

Joshua and Nathan Katz have both won bronze in the 60kg and 66kg judo divisions respectively.

Josh defeated Simon Zulu of Zambia and Nathan got the win over India’s Jasleen Singh Saini in their bronze medal matches to lock in a podium finish for all three of our judo athletes today.

Fun fact: Team Australia has three lots of siblings on the team this Commonwealth Games! The Katz brothers, Madison and Teagan Levi in ​​the rugby sevens and badminton players Angela and Jack Yu.

Kaylee McKeown had to rush away after picking up her 200m backstroke gold to prepare for this one.

Canadian 15-year-old Summer McIntosh wins the gold, adding to her 400m IM title.

was trailing after the butterfly and backstroke legs, but actually made up ground in the breaststroke to lead heading into the final 50 meters.

But then the freestyle pedigree of McIntosh came to the fore and she overran the Aussie to come home first in 2:08.70, not quite a second ahead of McKeown.

England’s Abbie Wood was third, with Aussies Abbey Harkin and Ella Ramsay fifth and eighth respectively.

Huge result for Sarah Maureen Cochrane.
