Live: Commonwealth Games, action on day seven from Birmingham – صحيفة الصوت

After the rush of 10 New Zealand medals including three golds on day six, it’s a bit more sedate in Birmingham on Thursday night (NZT) with a handful of leading prospects.

Top of that list is cyclist Aaron Gate who chases his fourth gold of these Commonwealth Games when he hits the road for the men’s time trial alongside pursuit gold medal-winning team-mate Tom Sexton.

The men set off near Wolverhampton from 11pm NZT, two hours after the women as Henrietta Christie, Mikayla Harvey and Georgia Williams first try to boost cycling’s impressive medal haul.
