Australia Sweeps Podium in Historic Athletics Day

Australia delivered an unprecedented podium sweep in women's mile and claimed seven track and field gold medals on day nine, setting a new Commonwealth Games record.

Abbey Caldwell upset Jessica Hull to win women's mile, with teammates Hull and Hollingsworth completing the historic 1-2-3 sweep. The men's 4x100m relay team, led by Lachie Kennedy, also claimed gold in one of seven track and field victories.

The seven-medal haul exceeds Australia's previous best of six gold medals from one day in Auckland 1950, making it the nation's most successful track and field day at the Commonwealth Games. amunra-online.pl
