Glasgow Commonwealth Games<\/p>\n
Swimmers Lewis Clareburt and Erika Fairweather will take New Zealand’s first shot at medals at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games overnight.<\/p>\n
Clareburt, who captured three gold medals at Birmingham four years ago, will contest 200m individual medley heats tonight, with the final scheduled for Friday morning (NZT).<\/p>\n
He won bronze in this event in 2022 and it will be an ideal tune-up for his favoured events later in the programme.<\/p>\n
Fairweather will be among the medal favourites in the 400m freestyle, where she is one of just seven women in history to break four minutes.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, our 3×3 basketballers, gymnasts and boxers begin their competition, while lawn bowlers are back in action, after their early start on Thursday.<\/p>\n
