00:00Do you know what makes that silver medal for Lauren Bruce all the sweeter?
00:03She hit a no mark in Birmingham four years ago. She came here to throw the hammer
00:09and it didn't get a valid mark on the scorecard. And what a difference four years makes.
00:15Not much of a difference for Cameron Rodgers. It's going to be back-to-back
00:19Commonwealth Games gold medals for Rodgers. It's a reigning World Olympic and Commonwealth
00:26champion like her teammate Ethan Katzberg. Absolute domination from Rodgers.
00:32Best of 74.38 so far. And I think the only thing left to make today perfect for Rodgers might
00:39just
00:40be a Games record. And look at that. Couldn't be closer here. And has she found another 30
00:48centimeters to challenge her own Games record of 74.68?
00:54I think she'll care. I think that would be the icing on the cake.
00:58She's relieved to take the win, especially in challenging conditions. You never know what
01:02can happen when it's this wet and this rainy. 74.91. She does better her own meeting record,
01:09her own Games record. Perfection from Cameron Rodgers.
01:17No hammer at the World Ultimate Championships on the women's side. There is on the men's.
01:22For these women here at the Commonwealth Games, this is the pinnacle of their 2026.
01:28And Cameron Rodgers has dominated as you would expect.
01:35Well, the Aussies had a double, a brace of gold over 10,000 meters. The Canadians
01:40do the same in the hammer competitions after gold in the men's contest last night.
01:4774.91. The mark of a true champion, her five valid throws. Each and every one of them would have
01:53been
01:53good enough to win the gold pretty comfortably. That is dominance personified. It was expected.
02:03And we do love surprises in sport. We also love to see scenes like this, where a great champion
02:09adds yet another gold to her collection. And this is lovely too, the smiles from the Australasians.
02:15It's lovely too, the smiles, silver for New Zealand, bronze for Australia. Both of them throwing out
02:21tremendously well here tonight. Lauren Bruce of New Zealand, 69.82, serving her best to last.
02:27Laura Roberts of Australia with that surprise package. Silver getting her best. 68.05 in the second round.
02:39And the maple.
