Australia Shines on Cycling Track | Adelaide News

Australia’s cycling team is on fire at the Commonwealth Games, claiming three golds on day one of track cycling — including a dominant men’s team sprint win over England and Tara Neyland’s flawless C4-C5 3000m team pursuit. The women’s 4000m pursuit squad, featuring Felicity Wilson-Haffenden, Claudia Marcks, Alyssa Polites, and Georgia Baker, defended their title with a record-breaking performance, leaving New Zealand in the dust. Their coach raved about their flawless execution and singled out Wilson-Haffenden as a rising star. Meanwhile, Kane Perris and Luke Zaccaria earned bronze in the men’s tandem B 1km time trial, while Jess Gallagher and her pilot took silver in the women’s tandem B sprint. In a heartbreaking turn, weightlifter Ridge Barredo suffered a knee injury during his final lift, forcing him to withdraw — but he’s staying positive, saying his athletic career isn’t over, though his reality TV days are. He’s grateful for the experience and his partner, and advises others to think twice before diving into reality TV.
