Commonwealth Games update

From Morning Report, 6:08 am on 2 August 2022

It's been another golden day in the Commonwealth Games velodrome for New Zealand, with the track cyclists coming away with two more golds and two silvers overnight.

Aaron Gate claimed his third gold of the Games in the points race an hour ago - with teammate Campbell Stewart winning the silver medlal.

It's Gate's third gold of the Games - a feat also achieved by his teammate Ellesse Andrews earlier in the morning, who crossed the line first in the women's Keirin.

Andrews also won gold in the women's sprint and the team sprint events earlier in the Games, and was part of the silver medal winning team pursuit squad.

It takes the total number of track cycling golds New Zealand has won in Birmingham to eight. Earlier Michaela Drummond won silver in the women's scratch race.
