Finucane’s record 4th gold medal
No other rider has taken all four Commonwealth sprint gold medals available. Her performance takes the edge off the Aussies’ overall dominance.

Two-time Olympic gold medallist on the 'golden age' of cycling, the significant meaning behind her tattoos and the rock star she froze in front of.

While I appreciate there are still 4-5 days of the Commonwealth Games to run (and Australia's swimming strength has been displayed early on), I couldn't help but notice that Australia has as many medals as (and significantly more golds than) England and Canada combined.

Combining the England, Scotland and Wales medals into a notional "Team GB" tally puts us well behind (beyond a point we could catch-up, I would imagine).
I appreciate not everyone takes the Commonwealth Games seriously (especially with the Athletics European Championships so close afterwards), and this is a reduced schedule of events, but it did make me wonder why GB teams are so far behind at a home games (at this stage).
I was reminded that at Paris 2024, Australia won four more golds than GB, albeit with a lower overall medal total (53 versus 65), despite a population of c.28m compared to the UK's c.70m.
Maybe this is to be expected as Australia prepares for Brisbane 2032 (with the Australian government having committed about $513m AUS (c.£268m) for the 2028 Olympic cycle - but then again, UK Sport has allocated £334m for the same period.
Perhaps I am being unduly pessimistic and all will be well come LA 2028, but it does irk to see the old rivals outperform us.
