Scotland's Ward wins Commonwealth gymnastics title, Ramsay-Peaty bounces back in the pool

Reuben Ward struck gold for hosts Scotland in the men's gymnastics all-around final at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday as Adam Ramsay-Peaty bounced back from his 100m breaststroke defeat in the 50m heats.

Text size:

Ward was devastated as Scotland narrowly missed out on the podium in the team final on Friday, but more than made amends to win his nation's first medal in the men's all-around event at a Commonwealth Games.

The 21-year-old held off a charge from Canada's Felix Dolci to secure gold by just 0.200 of a point with Australia's Jesse Moore in third.

"I knew I could do it, but to actually do it. When the score came through, it is just jubilation and joy," said Ward.

"Incredible! I'm so lucky to be in this position. I would've have been in this position without my family and my team-mates. It is like climbing a mountain."

Dolci, who was part of Canada's team gold, twice fell of the pommel horse on his opening apparatus before roaring back with five near flawless displays to nearly snatch victory.

England's highly-fancied Luke Whitehouse suffered a disappointing afternoon to finish seventh.

Just hours after his bronze medal in the 100m breaststroke, Ramsay-Peaty was back in the pool as he aims to make amends in the 50m.

The three-time Olympic champion broke down in tears after missing out on gold at a fourth different Commonwealth Games on Saturday night.

Ramsay-Peaty even questioned whether he will continue at the 100m distance with the shorter, more explosive 50m more suited to his strengths.

But the Englishman was only fifth fastest in qualifying for the semi-finals later on Sunday, again finishing behind Sam Williamson of Australia who stormed to gold in the 100m.

Australia's Olympic champion Cameron McEvoy also goes in the men's 50m freestyle final in the highlight of the evening swim session.

In the biggest clash of the netball pool stages Australia produced a dominant 66-47 win over England.

The defending champions eased into a 35-24 half-time lead but England will take some solace from a battling final quarter which they edged 12-10 to minimise the damage.

England, who face Malawi in their next match on Monday, had started their competition in emphatic fashion with an 84-35 thrashing of Northern Ireland.

They are likely to need to beat South Africa in their last group game on Thursday to stand any chance of reaching the semi-finals and keeping their medal hopes alive.
