Jake Wightman cruised through to the men’s 1500 metres final at Alexander Stadium while Jamaica’s shock win over Australia left England’s netball team with a peculiar quandary.
Here, the PA news agency reflects on Thursday’s early action and looks forward to the highlights on day eight.
The Wight Stuff
Wightman, who claimed a shock gold medal at the World Championships in Oregon last month, clocked three minutes 48.34 seconds to raise hopes of another Scottish gold after Eilish McColgan’s 10,000m win on Wednesday night.
Jamaica In
The result meant Australia also qualified in second place from Group A, setting an intriguing conundrum for England and New Zealand, who were set to face off later on Thursday with victory booking a last-four slot against the Aussies.
Tough for Thomas
The Welshman remounted but was around 30 seconds down on eventual winner Rohan Dennis at every time check and finished two seconds behind England’s Fred Wright, who took silver.
