Commonwealth Games 2022 LIVE: Laura Muir storms to 1500m gold after England win women’s hockey title
Follow day 10 at the 2022 Commonwealth Games with 45 gold medals up for grabs
A thrilling penultimate day at Birmingham 2022 has delivered more action to this thoroughly entertaining Commonwealth Games, with 45 gold medals in total set to be dished out by the end of the evening.
Tonight was all about Laura Muir, and the Scotland star produced a brilliant kick to win gold in the women’s 1500m final, adding to her 800m bronze from the previous evening. Later, a wide-open men’s 800m final, was won by Kenya’s Wyclife Kinyamal ahead of Australia’s Peter Bol, with England’s Ben Pattison taking bronze.
Eilish McColgan added to her 10,000m gold with a gutsy silver in the 5,000m and there was further joy as England’s women wrapped up the action at the Alexander Stadium with a dramatic gold in the 4x400m final. It was short lived, however, after the team was disqualified following a lane infringment.
Earlier, home-town hero Matt Hudson-Smith was left disappointed when forced to settle for silver in the men’s 400m, while Victoria Ohuruogu was more upbeat, grabbing a silver in the women’s 400m final. There was drama in the 4x100m relay finals, with England men and Nigeria women prevailing.
In the afternoon, a dramatic men’s cycling road race saw Geraint Thomas fall just short with a late push to break the lead group, leaving New Zealand’s Aaron Gate to sprint clear and win a fourth gold at these Games. And in the result of the day, England pulled off a shock to stun Australia and win Commonwealth gold in the women’s hockey final. Follow all the action throughout the evening below:

Scotland are going for gold at Victoria Park. Garry Brown and Kevin Wallace are taking on Australia in the Para-lawn bowls men’s pairs B6-B8 gold medal match.
It’s currently 2-2 after three ends.
Commonwealth Games 2022 - Gymnastics
England have absolutely smashed the gymnastics in this Commonwealth Games. They’ve won 16 medals including 10 golds.
Jake Jarman picks up four of his own with Joe Fraser claiming three.
Alice Kinsella started her games with a gold in the team event but a fall on the beam during the all-around event seemed to knock her confidence.
However, she recovered to perform an exceptional floor routine on the final apparatus and end her games like she started them... with a gold medal.
Commonwealth Games 2022 - Gymnastics
Ilias Georgiou has snatched the men’s horizontal bar gold medal away from Tyson Bull with the very last routine of the final!
What a routine from the Cyprus man! He nailed it, it was full of daring releases and catches and with risk come reward. A brilliant end to the gymnastics competitions.

Alice Kinsella wins gold on the floor! Ondine Achampong takes silver and Emily Whitehead’s effort lands her a bronze.
Commonwealth Games 2022 - Gymnastics
A mistake from Romi Brown ends her chance at a medal, which means England’s Ondine Achampong is now guaranteed a medal and it will be at least silver for Alice Kinsella.
Only Australian Emily Whitehead can deny her gold now. Whitehead’s routine is very good. This is going to be close, I think she’ll claim a medal but what colour?
Commonwealth Games 2022 - Gymnastics
England’s men aren’t going to sweep all the gymnastics gold medals. An excellent routine from England’s James Hall brings him a score of 13.900 which puts him in third place.
There was only one close moment when he struggled to hold from a release and if he misses out on a medal it won’t be through lack of effort.
Commonwealth Games 2022 - Gymnastics
Yes she can! 13.366 takes her into the gold medal place with only three gymnasts left to go.
Commonwealth Games 2022 - Gymnastics
Can Alice Kinsella earn her redemption with a gold on floor?
She’s absolutely given herself a chance! What a routine. There’s a couple of minor errors but no more so than any of the other competitors.
Her tumbles are solid as well and this score will be near the top. Can she displace Ondine Achampong though?
