It became Glasgow’s take on chaotic racing. Following four crashes, three overturned wheelchairs, three appeals and one disqualification, the women’s T54 1500m final will be rerun 39 hours after the original.

The ruling came on Thursday after wild scenes at Scotstoun on Wednesday, even though the medallists had completed a lap of honour, posed for photos and retired believing they had made history.

Action began on the opening bend when Canada’s Nandini Sharma crossed paths with Noemi Alphonse of Mauritius, sending her tumbling through the air. Australia’s Eliza Ault-Connell was then felled, triggering further incidents that saw Scotland’s Joanna Robertson slide on one wheel and England’s Ellis Kottas hit a barrier.

Amid the mayhem, Scotland’s Melanie Woods secured gold in a Commonwealth record of 3min 33.39sec, yet the real story was only beginning.

Netball New Zealand finished with an 83-23 win over Trinidad and Tobago at the Hydro. The result capped a flawless pool campaign for the Silver Ferns with five victories from five outings. They will meet England or South Africa in the semi-finals.

Weightlifting +86kg The clean and jerk phase is underway. Athletes are attempting lifts, although leading contenders have yet to make their moves.

Netball New Zealand held a 71-19 advantage over Trinidad and Tobago with under 10 minutes left. Their semi-final opponents on Saturday will be England or South Africa, who face off at 9pm in a key quarter-final.

Commonwealth Sport officials rejected claims of bias and racism from Idi Amin’s grandson after his disqualification for a head-butt in super-heavyweight boxing.

Aziz Abdul criticised the Argentinian referee Manuel Vilarino following his quarter-final loss to England’s Damar Thomas. He had already lost a point for a standing count and another for punching during a break before the disqualification.

Representing Uganda, Abdul argued the calls were unfair and suggested racial bias. Dr Donald Rukare, president of Commonwealth Sport and also from Uganda, countered that all athletes receive fair treatment without discrimination and described the remarks as heat-of-the-moment frustration.

Weightlifting +86kg Emily Campbell succeeded with 115kg on her final snatch attempt, smiling and blowing a kiss to spectators. She shares the lead heading into the clean and jerk.

115kg Tui-Alofa Patolo (NZ), Emily Campbell (Eng)

106kg Etta Mae Love (Canada)

Weightlifting +86kg Emily Campbell lifted 110kg cleanly on her first attempt. New Zealand’s Tui-Alofa Patolo responded with 112kg to take the lead.

Weightlifting +86kg India’s Martina Devi Maibam secured 105kg on her third attempt after earlier misses, staying in contention.

Netball New Zealand led Trinidad and Tobago 41-13 at half-time and look set for five pool wins.

Women’s weightlifting +86kg England’s Emily Campbell, a leading contender, opened with 110kg in the snatch. Singapore’s Melissa Yee held the early lead on 95kg.

Heading into these Games, Australia’s swim squad lacked several stars due to illness, retirement and injury. Concerns proved unfounded as the team closed the programme in record fashion at Tollcross, finishing with 37 golds, 16 silvers and 23 bronzes across able-bodied and para events.

Netball New Zealand controlled their Pool B clash against Trinidad and Tobago, leading 14-3 after the first quarter en route to a perfect record.
