Commonwealth Games: Live coverage of Day 5 action from Glasgow

Much of our attention has been on the athletics and the swimming tonight, but there’s plenty else happening in Glasgow.

In the boxing, Australians Jye Dixon (men’s 55kg) and Jacob Cassar (men’s 65kg) have progressed through to medal bouts by winning their quarterfinals.

Meanwhile, heavy rain has caused a pause in the women’s high jump, but the men’s 10,000m final is pushing on.

A comfortable win for Ben Armbruster (22.82sec) over Cam McEvoy in the first men’s 50m butterfly semifinal (23.41), with both comfortably going through to the final.

And despite backing up barely an hour after the men’s 100m freestyle final, Kyle Chalmers has done the same in the second semifinal, matching Armbruster’s time.

Chalmers is hoping all three Australians will get on the podium in the final.

“I’ve never been a part of something like that. Tonight was the first time I’ve stood on a podium with another Australian, so to do something like that tomorrow night would be amazing,” he told Channel Seven.

Armbruster set a personal best despite drawing a breath in the race’s closing stages.

“I’ll have to fix that. Oops,” he told Channel Seven.

Shayna Jack and Meg Harris have punched their tickets to tomorrow’s women’s 50m freestyle final by being the quickest swimmers in their semifinals.

Jack clocked a time of 24.42sec, while the shock women’s 100m freestyle gold medallist produced a time of 24.18.

Alex Perkins, who already has two butterfly gold medals to her credit at the games, was second to Harris in 24.77sec.

“It was consistent, so I’ll take it. Consistency is the key to swimming,” Jack told Channel Seven.

“No matter what happens tomorrow, I’m really proud of everything I’ve achieved in my career.”

With the sprints done, we’ll turn our attention back to the Tollcross International Swimming Centre.

The women’s 50m freestyle and men’s 50m butterfly finals are not far away - and both promise to be intruiging.

And no luck for Australian Georgia Harris in the third heat.

She ran eighth in a time of 11.90sec.

“I didn’t expect to be swimming today,” she joked with Channel Seven, referencing increasing rain in Glasgow.

Jenna Forrester has continued a golden Commonwealth Games by winning the women’s 200m individual medley!

That’s her third victory in a final in Glasgow, alongside success in the women’s 200m backstroke and women’s 400m individual medley.

An 11.52sec effort from Ebony Lane in the second semifinal, which won’t be quite good enough to get through to the final.

“Seeing the time that Torrie ran, I’m so proud of her. It’s insane,” she told Channel Seven.

And Torrie Lewis has gone through to the women’s 100m final in an Australian record time!

An 11sec flat effort from our fastest woman.

“It was very good,” an understated Lewis told Channel Seven.

Eddie Nketia will be joining Lachlan Kennedy in the men’s 100m final!

He was the fastest starter in the third semifinal heat and found a late second win to post a 10.03sec time.

“It’s been a journey, man,” he tells Channel Seven.

“I’m just so happy with where I’m at right now ... I’m so blessed.”

Meanwhile, Flynn Southam has toppled Kyle Chalmers in the men’s 100m final!

Southam was out to a hot start and held off bronze medallist Chalmers to claim gold in 47.13sec.

“I had a lot of people doubting me, and I was doubting myself at some points, but at the end of the day, I back myslef in a race, and that was a bloody good one,” Southam said.

“Four years ago, I was a little boy. Now, I’m a man. I belong here and I’m here to stay.”

Earlier, Kiralee Hayes won gold in the women’s 50m freestyle S13 final.
