There is another massive line-up of sporting action ahead as coverage of the Commonwealth Games continues on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus.
Tuesday Evening
6.00pm | Hockey: It’s a re-match of the 2018 final between Australia and New Zealand. After a heartbreaking loss to the Black Sticks Women at Gold Coast 2018, our Hockeyroos will be looking for redemption tonight.
7.00pm | Athletics: It’s a huge first night on the track! In an exciting moment for all Australians, we catch the first glimpse of “The Flying Mullet”, Rohan Browning, in the men’s 100m. Henry Frayne and Chris Mitrevski will compete in the men’s long jump, while Taneille Crase takes on the women’s heptathlon 100m hurdles. Then, Rhiannon Clarke, Indiana Cooper and Ella Pardy will compete in the women’s T37/38 100m heats.
7.00pm | Swimming Heats: Abbey Connor, Elizabeth Dekkers and Brianna Throssell will represent the Green and Gold in the women’s 200m butterfly, before Mollie O’Callaghan takes on the 50m backstroke. Then, will the Aussies qualify for a medal in the mixed 4x100m medley relay?

11.00pm | Gymnastics: Gold medallist, Georgia Godwin, represents the Green and Gold in the individual apparatus finals.

Australia won the first five editions (1998-2014) until Newman and New Zealand’s Eliza McCartney (silver) pushed Kennedy to bronze in 2018.
4.00am | Swimming Finals: Emma McKeon, Shayna Jack and Mollie O’Callaghan form a formidable trio in the women’s 100m freestyle. McKeon could join Dawn Fraser and Jodie Henry as the only female swimmers to hold the Olympic and Commonwealth Games titles concurrently, in the Blue Riband event.
Australia will be cheering on pop star turned swimming star, Cody Simpson, in the men’s 100m butterfly final. Will Ariarne Titmus join Tracey Wickham as the only Australians to uphold their title in the women’s 800m freestyle? Lani Pallister and Kiah Melverton could make it a podium sweep for the Australians. Pallister’s mother Janelle Pallister (nee Elford) won silver in the event at the 1990 Games in Auckland.
