Games With a Slow, Steady Comedown After Josh Kerr’s Glorious Victory, and 15 Gold Medals Still to Be Decided Before Sunday

ZayNewsFast. Clear. Brief.

Glasgow is heading into the final day of the Commonwealth Games with a slow, steady comedown after Josh Kerr’s glorious victory, and 15 gold medals still to be decided before Sunday evening’s closing ceremony. The day’s highlights include the netball final between New Zealand and Jamaica and several cycling events. Kerr, a 28-year-old Scot, added Commonwealth gold to his collection with a devastating late kick in a slowly run mile that resembled dodgems.

He surged clear with 250 metres remaining and crossed in 3:54.12, enjoying enough time to smile and gesture to the roaring main stand. The victory, a fortnight after he shattered the mile world record, silenced those who feared an emotional hangover or vulnerability in a last-lap sprint. Elsewhere, Jamaica stunned Australia in the netball semi-final, and a boxer secured a medal without winning a bout.
