Always enjoyed these championships since watching Lachie Stewart hanging onto the coattails of Ron Clarke (holder of multiple world records but never won a major championship gold) and some English runner running side-by-side as he followed in their slipstream, in 1970 and as they came to the last 200m glanced towards Clarke as if to say "Sorry, mate, but this is mine" Lachie Stewart - Commonwealth Games 10,000m Gold, Edinburgh 1970 - YouTube

Reason for posting this was that I was on the BBC site and there was a link to an "amazing 10 goal thriller" in the hockey between Scotland and NZ.  I've no idea of who would be the underdogs in this game but we were up 4-0 and 5-1 and drew 5-5...Alan Rough was in goal for us!

Been good from what I’ve seen so far. Kiwis have been very happy as they’ve been doing pretty well. watched some of the cycling and swimming this morning.

Just brilliant from Eilish McColgan. Just like her mum, and great to see Liz there. 
 

Tremendous stuff. 

I was there last night at the athletics to see Laura Muir win 1500m gold, it was tremendous, had an absolute ball in Birmingham and saw a silver medal in the Rhythmic Gymnastics 😊

Rhythmic Gymnastics

sounds like a euphemism rather than a sport.

Anyone going then? Feels very low key with the reduced number of events and no BBC coverage.

We’re heading to the swimming on Friday and Saturday night.

Is it at Hampden again?

The opening ceremony is at the SECC?

Yep. Much more low key.

Great atmosphere at Tolcross pool last night, and brilliant to witness a couple of Scottish golds - including Duncan Scott.

Back at the pool tonight to discover that Madeline McCanns parents were there to see their son in the 400m final. I never saw them but then it wouldn’t be the first time they haven’t watched one of their children…

Took a while to find highlights programme on Channel 5. Did get given some free tickets for Netball next week but clashes with one of my daughters many activities so had to give them away.

Top Red Neil Fachie picks up another gold medal. Some loon, like (even if his champ manager tactics are questionable at times)

And another one.
