The 2022 Commonwealth Games is underway after the opening ceremony took place last night to kick off 10 days of intense sporting action. Canada’s Summer McIntosh has cruised through her heat in the women’s 400m individual medley. Women’s T20 cricket makes its Commonwealth debut with a huge match as Australia take on India at Edgbaston before England battle Trinidad and Tobago to kick off their netball defence around midday.

The 2022 Commonwealth Games kicks off with a star-studded lineup of 10 events on Friday featuring big names like Ariarne Titmus and Summer McIntosh.

Meanwhile, Kenya snuck into the final qualifying spot after South Africa was disqualified in the final heat. - Australia, 3:22.14 Will Zac Stubblety-Cook break his own world record tonight? After sitting out the World Championships, Emma McKeon got off to a strong start in Birmingham with a top-seeded time of 57.34, edging Canadien Olympic champ Maggie MacNeil by six-tenths of a second. The 18-year-old South African reached the wall more than half a second ahead of the field, which featured defending champion Mitch Larkin (No. 7 seed). Twenty-three-year-old Englishman Brodie Williams was Coetze’s closest challenger this morning, clocking in just .26 seconds slower than his personal best from 2019. England’s Imogen Louise Clark was just .22 off her personal best, not far away from the meet record herself and a full four-tenths of a second clear of the remaining field. Saturday night’s 50 fly final is shaping up to be a tight race after Kyle Chalmers edged Ben Proud by .o1 seconds for the top qualifying spot heading into tonight’s semifinal. Cody Simpson made the semifinal with a 23.84 after being promoted to swim the event in the absence of fellow Aussie Isaac Cooper. Ariarne Titmus eased into the top qualifying spot with a 1:55.68, a couple seconds off her personal best as she gears up for a potentially record-breaking swim in tonight’s finals. Summer McIntosh cruised to a victory in 4:36.72, finishing three seconds shy of the time that won her gold at Worlds last month. Daniel Wiffen will take the top qualifying spot heading into tonight’s finals with a 3:47.43, shaving more than a second off his previous best from April to edge Mack Horton by .11 seconds. Four of the morning heats — the men’s 50-meter butterfly, women’s 50 breaststroke, men’s 100 backstroke, and women’s 100 fly — have semifinal rounds before finals on Saturday night.

Alex Yee grabbed England's first gold medal of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games with victory in the men's triathlon at Sutton Park.

Over the course of his short career, Yee has established himself as arguably the best runner in the sport and bit by bit he dramatically pulled back the leaders. As Yee emerged from his swim 15 seconds from the lead, embedded within the main pack, he was charged with the task of chasing down the leaders in the 20km cycle. He finished the swim in third place, the leading pack of three with Jamie Riddle of South Africa and New Zealand’s Tayler Reid immediately distancing themselves.

England's Alex Yee completed the course with a timing of 50:34 to win the first gold medal at this year's quadrennial event.

Yee’s timing for the swim was 8:49 while he completed the cycling course in 26:07. For the running course, Yee clocked 14:31. The sprint distance triathlon event consists a 750m swimming course, a 20 km cycling course and a 5 km run. The athlete from England completed the course in 50 minutes and 34 seconds and took the first place.

Four Kiwi swimmers will race for medals this morning after strong performances in the heats in Birmingham. Dame Sophie Pascoe led the way, qualifying fastest ...

The men's sprint team were the only team to miss out on a chance at gold, but can still claim bronze, qualifying third. She will be rested for the Black Ferns' second match today. The 21-year-old finished third in her heat with a time of 4:43.87 to qualify sixth for the final. Australia set the fastest time and will take on England for gold, with New Zealand missing out on the gold final by .78 seconds and having to settle for a bronze showdown with Canada. Fellow Kiwi Eve Thomas missed the final by .26 seconds, finishing 10th. The four, who were favoured to win gold albeit in a tight battle with Australia and England, produced a time of 3:49:82, which was .97 seconds ahead of England and 1.45 seconds ahead of Australia who were bumped to the bronze final. Wilde was running neck and neck with England's Alex Yee on the final lap, but had to swerve off to the penalty area in the final straight to the line, taking second place, 13 seconds in arrears. Shortly after, the women's sprint team made it three Kiwi squads riding for gold, with Andrews, Rebecca Petch and Olivia King setting a Games record of 47.84 to qualify first, 0.11 seconds ahead of Canada. The Kiwi quartet of Ellesse Andrews, Bryony Botha, Michaela Drummond and Emily Shearman clocked a time of 4:18:43 in their 4000m race against the clock, edging England by 1.4 seconds to take the second spot in the ride for gold which takes place at 3.49am. Her time was a whopping seven seconds behind Canadian sensation Summer McIntosh, but only 2.4 seconds behind the second-placed swimmer, with McIntosh likely to cruise to gold and leave a battle behind her for the remaining two medals. The Kiwi men on show both made the semifinals, with Andrew Jeffcoat the sixth fastest qualifier in the 100m backstroke and Cameron Gray clocking the 14th best time in the heats of the 50m butterfly. Mya Rasmussen was the other Kiwi to make a final, progressing to the final of the 400m individual medley.

That's how New Zealand men's sprint triathlete Hayden Wilde saw a penalty ruling which clearly hindered his quest for gold and brought about a protest on day ...

The Games have been held every four years since 1930, with the exception of 1942 and 1946, cancelled because of the second world war. Until 1950 they were known as the British Empire Games. The previous Commonwealth Games in 2018 were held on the Gold Coast in Australia, while the 2026 Games will also be held Down Under, in Melbourne and the surrounding state of Victoria. Over 11 days of action, about 6,500 competitors and officials from 72 nations and territories are participating in the 22nd Commonwealth Games. It is the biggest multi-sport event to be held in the UK since the 2012 London Olympics.

Hayden Wilde has won NZ's first medal - but he may have been robbed of a chance at gold.

"The game plan was that if I had a gap on Alex to let him catch me and then really attack on the last 800m," Wilde said. "It's obviously not the colour I want but it was an upgrade from Tokyo," he said. "It's not in the game plan, actually, to be that good at swimming. It was risk or reward, he said, "and I wasn't going to take that risk for New Zealand." The Brit took silver at last year's Tokyo Olympics, and when Wilde crossed closely behind him to win bronze, it was clear in their embrace how much respect the rivals held for each other. "I definitely knew what happened - and I don't think that was a penalty at all," Wilde said.

It was an extremely impressive effort to make the final given they had lost Ally Wollaston to injury before the event. "It makes a big difference, 4k is a really long way with only three riders. We knew we needed to go faster and every single one of these guys, we committed 100 per cent – it all came together perfectly." The trio set a Games record of 47.841 seconds to qualify first for the final then went better in the gold medal decider, with a time of 47.425 earning New Zealand their second gold of the Games. Their gold medal followed the Kiwi women's team pursuit starting a morning of medals with silver, being outnumbered and outpowered in the final for gold by Australia.

Ariarne Titmus will be eyeing her first Commonwealth title in the women's 200 freestyle on Friday after settling for silver four years ago.

Scotland’s Ross Murdoch came back on Australia’s Matthew Wilson to win bronze in 2:10.41, and the 28-year-old was visibly excited with his podium finish. MacNeil, the reigning Olympic champ, was a tad quicker than the prelims to clock 57.72 in second, while Aussie Brianna Throssell joined them sub-58 in 57.99 for third. - Emma McKeon(AUS), 57.49 Singapore’s Letitia Sim, who trains in the United States and attends the University of Michigan, wasn’t far behind that quartet in 31.56 for 11th.

All that stated, they have a number of match-winners in their ranks, and perhaps even one individual brilliance could prove to be enough on a given day. A powerful, free-flowing strokemaker, Deandra Dottin had struck a 38-ball hundred against South Africa at the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2010 - still the fastest ever in Women T20Is. She was still into her teens then, and has continued to evolve as an international cricketer over more than a decade. She was West Indies’ standout batter at the World Cup earlier this year, and led the run-scoring charts in both - Women's Super50 Cup as well as the Twenty20 Blaze at home recently, offering plenty of promise ahead of the campaign.

Through the competition, expect to see famous faces—like Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Kate Middleton, and more royals—in the crowd.

Superb in the swimming pool and tremendous on the track, Australia is in a dominant position on the medal table after a superb opening day in Birmingham.

The quartet initially set a Games record of 4:14.605 when qualifying fastest and lowered the time to 4:12.234 when far too good for New Zealand in the final. Australia’s world-beating cricketers were stretched to the brink by India in the first ever women’s match held at a Commonwealth Games but ultimately prevailed by three wickets.
