"Aussie swimming superstar Emma McKeon has sealed her place in Commonwealth Games folklore after breaking the record for most medals ever won at the Games.

McKeon added another gold and bronze medal to her incredible tally in Birmingham on Tuesday night - taking her career haul to 19 and the most ever.

The previous record for most Commonwealth medals was 18, shared by South African swimmer Chad le Clos and two shooters - Australia's Phillip Adams and England's Mick Gault."

"Australia’s stunning day nine gold rush at the Commonwealth Games has seen the green and gold team kick clear of hosts England in the medal tally.

Australia has 66 golds so far and 173 medals in total, while hosts England now sit 11 gold medals behind Australia.

On the final morning the Diamonds claimed gold over Jamaica in the netball,

Cassiel Emmanuel Rousseau took out the 10m platform final in the diving while there was further gold for Australia in the men’s beach volleyball, women’s javelin, the T20 cricket and women’s cycling road race,

Peter Bol meanwhile had to settle for silver in the men’s 800m."
