Crag Mottram sits comfortably in 3rd place in the 1500m final. 200m later he fell, the victim of a tangle which happened behind him. A New Zealander won the event in the not-great time of 3:38. (The world record is 3:26)
The sellout MCG crowd really got into the spirit of things. Here we witness a mexican wave passing my spot in the stadium. There was much clapping and even some singing.
Tatiana Gregorieva clears 4.25m. She went on to eventually win the silver medal behind fellow Australian Kim Howe who set a Commonwealth Games record of 4.62m
The Australian flag didn't make it up the centre flagpole too often in the Athletics. It happened three times on this night. The audience sang louder each time. John Landy presented the medals for the mens 1500m... wow. Kip Keino presented the medals for the mens 10,000m... phwoar. John Howard presented the medals for the mens 4x400m relay... yuck.
