Davies outpaced compatriot Jessica Hull over the final lap to become the first woman to complete the 5,000m-10,000m double at the Games. Dominica’s Olympic champion Thea LaFond also celebrated a memorable moment, securing her first Commonwealth Games gold in the women’s triple jump after previously winning bronze and silver. Elsewhere, Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton claimed the women’s 100m hurdles title, while Nigeria’s Chukwuebuka Enekwechi won men’s shot put gold.
England defeated Australia to win the men’s team pursuit cycling gold, while Australia triumphed in the women’s event on another action-packed day in Glasgow.
