Taha Hashim
🏅 Judo: Gold for Canada’s Julien Frascadore in the men’s -66kg final, ending the contest with Cyprus’ Georgios Balarjishvili – the defending Commonwealth Games champion – with a yuko.
Updated at 14.03 EDT
Taha Hashim is back – enjoy the evening of athletics, cycling and more with him.
Cycling: After all the chaos of that second heat (both runs of it), England’s Sophie Capewell tries another track stand in the deciding heat of her sprint semi-final against Malaysia’s Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri, who has to lead from the front. There’s no faffing about this time, with Capewell going high up the banking to pick up some speed. She goes in front after the bell and just about holds on by half a wheel!
Capewell will face Wales’ Emma Finucane for the Commonwealth title in just under an hour’s time but, er, good luck with that.
🏅 Devon Briggs wins the men’s C1-3 1000m time trial for New Zealand! He was the last rider out and is the first Commonwealth champion in this category. He pushes Gordon Allan of Australia into silver and Fin Graham of Scotland into bronze. There were two seconds between the top three.

Cycling: Capewell and Mohd Asri come to a stop in exactly the same place on their second run. This time, the man in the tie blows his whistle instead of shooting his gun – now they move. The Malaysian has to go out in front … but brings it to a stop again. Then they set off at snail’s pace, with Capewell in front. And a gun is fired again and it’s stopped.
Mohd Asri is penalised and forfeits the heat. It’s 1-1 and they will face each other in a deciding heat. Well, that was bizarre.
Cycling: Capewell and Mohd Asri are given a metaphorical rap on the knuckles as the second heat of their semi-final is stopped midway through after Capewell started a track stand, which drew the race to a standstill to such an extent that some guy in a shirt and tie came out to shoot his gun. Nobody is really sure why it was stopped, possibly for backwards movement. They will restart.
Cycling: Emma Finucane sees off Wales teammate Rhian Edmunds with ease to book her place in the women’s sprint final. It wasn’t really a contest – a resigned Edmunds looked to be saving herself for the bronze final. Finucane will better her bronze from this event in 2022.
England’s Sophie Capewell has work to do against Malaysia’s Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri, who leads 1-0 after the first heat of the other semi. It’s first to two.
Cycling: Pete Mitchell takes the roof off the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome with a sensational performance in the third repechage race of the men’s keirin. The 36-year-old ginger-bearded Scot, who used to ride for England before retiring a few years ago, returned to the sport in 2024. He comes through to beat Njisane Phillip of Trinidad and Tobago on the line and the crowd goes wild. He’ll be the only Scottish representative in the semi-finals. Imagine if he wins a medal.
“Pete was from my era!” says Hoy on TV.
