The medal ceremonies will be coming thick and fast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">At the morning session at Scotstoun Stadium we have the continuation of the decathlon, plus some relays and the rerun of the women\u2019s 1500m T54 final. In the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome we\u2019ll pedal through a few rounds of sprint qualifying and the start of the individual pursuit. There are also more bowls (there\u2019s always bowls) and netball placing finals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Whether you\u2019re just waking up, following from work or settling in for the evening, join us \u2013 and get in touch via the email link at the top of the page.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Commonwealth Games 2026: Scotland\u2019s Woods wins again in restaged para-athletics final \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/jul\/31\/commonwealth-games-2026-athletics-cycling-and-netball-on-day-eight-live?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a6b45328f08fe3ae2b8d099#block-6a6b45328f08fe3ae2b8d099\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Updated at\u00a005.20 EDT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Key events Athletics: Mel Woods, who won gold in the rerun of the women\u2019s T54 1500 earlier this&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552898,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-552897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
