Wales' Olivia Breen can't retain her gold medal but does enough to secure the silver.

A season's best time for her of 12.86 seconds. She turns up for these games.

Here we go.

Can Wales' Olivia Breen retain her title or is England's Sophie Hahn going to pip her to it?

They may as well leave the Australian flag up here. Utter domination.

Scotland's Mena Scatchard just misses out as one of the four non-qualifiers by just 0.06 seconds.

Plenty of home nation representation though with England's Georgia Hunter Bell and Scotland's Jemma Reekie and Erin Wallace go through.

Wales' Issy Boffey is the best of the bunch. Qualifying with the third fastest time of 2:01.53.

Jamaica's Adelle Tracey's time of 2:02.58 also sees her safely through.

Scotland's Erin Wallace has got it!

She sails into third with a time of 2:03.15 after Kenya's Vivian Chebet Kiprotich trips on the home stretch.

Time for a few medal ceremonies after the first three finals in the pool.

Seven of the nine medals have gone to Australian swimmers tonight.

There's no stopping them!

Huge cheers for Scotland's Erin Wallace in this final heat for the women's 800m.

She started in lane four and is just lingering at the back of the front pack after 400m.

Two disqualifications!

Canada's Fernando Lu is disqualified for an extra butterfly kick at the start of the race. He loses his silver medal.

That means New Zealand's Joshua Wilmer takes the silver, while Australia's Timothy Hodge is bumped up to bronze.

The other disqualification was for Scotland's Oliver Carter, who had come in last. That's a shame for him in his home Games.

England's Georgia Hunter Bell looked like she was going for a brisk stroll during that heat but she still comes in first.

She qualifies with a time of 2:02.61, the slowest heat-winning qualification time so far but looking comfortable.

Scotland's Jemma Reekie was trailing just behind her in second to clock 2:03.09.

It's time for England's Georgia Hunter Bell to shine.

She's leading the pack but Scotland favourite Jemma Reekie is right by her side at the halfway point.

England's Ozioma Nlewedum has put in a season's best performance to throw 5.31m but there will be no gold.

Australia's Ainsley Hooker also threw a season's best and it was a little further - 5.40m.

Still plenty to go in this final.

Theodora Taylor, the 17-year-old, a massive mention to her. A Welsh record - she's having the summer of her life.

Wales' Issy Boffey picked up the pace to drive forward and gets her reward with automatic qualification.

She passes the line in second but it's Lillian Odira who qualifies first with ease.

Scotland's Mena Scatchard is fifth and could still qualify with a time of 2:03.94. We shall wait and see...

It's an Australian 1-2-3 as the swimmers hit the 50m mark...

A chance of a medal for the home nations in this one.

England's Leah Schlosshan and Freya Anderson, Wales' Theodora Taylor and Scotland's Evelyn Davis are all going for gold.

But Australia's Mollie O'Callaghan, the defending champion, stands in their way.

Mena Scatchard is in the lead at the bell but it's tight between the athletes.

Lillian Odira appears to be hitting the afterburners though...

Swimming is one of the most gruelling sports at the Commonwealth Games but it can be even harder when faced with a chronic condition like endometriosis.

That’s the reality for English swimmer Freya Anderson, who has been navigating the challenges of balancing elite training with chronic pain for over 10 years.

“When I first started having periods, I just knew something was off," she told the BBC.

“None of my friends had struggles that I did. The severe pain, the bleeding. I actually went on hormonal contraception when I was 16, so quite young.”

Anderson didn’t get a diagnosis until just last year when she was at a training camp for the World Championships.

“I felt a relief but then you now have this long journey ahead of you, and you've just been diagnosed with a chronic health condition that has no cure.”

Endometriosis affects one in 10 women and those assigned female at birth from puberty to menopause, although the impact may be felt for life. In the UK, that’s over 1.5 million living with the condition.

Anderson was able to get surgery to remove the endometriosis in December 2025.

Anderson says it has helped but she still faces difficulties with the illness.

She has set up a Fast and Female initiative to educate and support young girls, and help them stay involved in sport.

“When I have bad flare-ups, I notice it on my skin, I notice it in my joints, like, I have knee problems, I have shoulder problems through swimming on my back. It’s kind of a lot to juggle."
