Published August 1, 2026 · Updated August 2, 2026 · The Guardian

Australia capped their Commonwealth Games athletics campaign with a historic podium sweep in the women's mile as Abbey Caldwell defeated Jessica Hull, while the men's 4x100m relay team claimed gold.

The seven gold medals on the final day broke Australia's previous record of six track and field golds in a single day, set at the 1950 Auckland Games when Marjorie Jackson and Shirley Strickland were among the winners.

Lachie Kennedy's relay team secured one of the seven golds on day nine, contributing to Australia's most successful track and field performance at the Commonwealth Games. liveiplscore.homes
