England’s Nick Miller claimed the men’s hammer throw gold medal with a Commonwealth Games and national record of 80.26m on Sunday. The 24-year-old took control of the competition with his third-round effort of 76.48m, before improving in round four.

It was a dominant performance from the Glasgow 2014 silver medallist. Australia’s Matty Denny recovered from a shaky start, with two fouls putting him under immense pressure before he took silver with a personal best of 74.88m. Thanks to its exploits in swimming, Australia continued to swell its medals tally. The host was on top with 31 gold, 25 silver, 28 bronze for a total of 84 medals. England was in second position.
