Welsh cyclist Anna Morris claimed Commonwealth Games gold in the 4,000m individual pursuit final in Glasgow before appearing to follow it up an hour later with a silver in the scratch before she was relegated off the podium.

Morris defeated England’s Josie Knight in the pursuit final and claimed her gold medal on the podium.

She then rushed off for a scratch race that started 10 minutes later and eventually finished behind Australian winner Georgia Baker but was then demoted from the podium.

There was a rivalry between these Great Britain team-mates Morris and Knight in the individual pursuit.

They rode alongside each other in the team pursuit squad that won Olympic bronze in Paris in 2024.

Morris, a qualified doctor, then defeated Knight in the world final of the 2025 individual pursuit final as she defended her title.

The battle lines had been drawn in the morning session when Knight recorded the fastest qualifying time of 4:25.719, with Morris just outside in 4:25.817.

But Morris produced a commanding performance in the final to clinch gold in a time of 4:24:272.

This was the first time the event had been held over 4,000m in the Commonwealth Games having previously been a 3,000m contest.

Morris continued her remarkable evening by competing alongside Welsh riders Megan Barker and Carys Lloyd in the scratch and somehow still had the strength to finish second before her disappointment followed.

Morris was relegated for entering the sprinter’s lane when her New Zealand opponent was already there.

England’s Acelya Toprak overcame India’s Yamini Mourya in the women’s -57kg judo final to win the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.

In an exhausting bout that went to golden score and lasted almost seven minutes, Toprak eventually forced Mourya into a third shido to claim victory.

The 28-year-old had won silver in 2022 but managed to go one better this time around in Glasgow.

“My last Commonwealth Games went exactly the same way. In the final it was two shidos each, we were into four-and-a-half minutes of extra time and I made that one misstep, over-stretched and got caught,” Toprak told BBC Sport.

“So I’m very happy that this time I didn’t do that, because that’s shattering, that hurts.

“All you’re thinking about is get up and go again, get up and go again, and then after I was like ‘I like a golden score in the finals, don’t I?’

“You’re exhausted, someone’s trying to throw you on your head for eight minutes and you’ve just got to get up and go again.”

It was an excellent night for England’s judo athletes with all five who were in medal contention winning their matches.

Lele Nairne, who was beaten by Toprak in the women’s -57kg semi-final, won bronze by ippon with an emphatic throw to the mat to defeat Ghanaian 17-year-old Frema Agyei within just 28 seconds.

“I love throwing people like that,” Nairne, 28, said after her victory.

“I love it. It’s a bittersweet symphony. Birmingham [2022] was tragic, I lost to a good friend in the bronze medal match, so I wanted to redeem myself.

“I wanted a medal, I wanted a gold, but just to get a medal, I’m absolutely over the moon.”

Tatum Keen – Nairne’s training partner at Bradley Stoke Judo Club in Bristol – also won bronze in the women’s -52kg category.

And in the men’s judo, 20-year-old Charlie Ayre and Michael Fryer, 26, claimed bronze in their respective -60kg and -66kg events.

Three-time Commonwealth medallist Rosie Eccles has retired from boxing following defeat in Glasgow.

Eccles settled for bronze, to add to the gold and silver she won at previous Games, after a split-decision defeat in Friday’s semi-final.

In an emotional interview after the narrow loss, the Welsh fighter confirmed she is hanging up her gloves before launching a verbal attack on “awful” people who tried to “end” her career.

“That’s it for me now, I’m done,” she told S4C.

“My heart’s full but the tank is empty and I’ve got to accept that, otherwise I’ll go on too long.

“I know I can contend for the Olympics, but I’ve got to put health first now.

“My life was nothing before boxing, so I will walk out of the sport with everything in my back pocket and on to the next stage of life.”
