Australia men, women win basketball gold

Cambage had a running battle with the whistle-happy referees through the first two quarters when she struck foul trouble, lost her cool, allegedly swore at a referee and was thrown out of the game. 

The standout player of the tournament was at the free throw line about to shoot midway through the second quarter when she got engaged in a verbal exchange with the officials who issued her with a technical foul. In the men’s category, the host crushed Scotland. 

Australian men beat New Zealand to win the hockey gold while New Zealand reversed the result in the women’s final to defeat Australia and win the gold. Even weeks after breaking four vertebrae, Australia’s Steele von Hoff has won the gold medal in the CWG men’s cycling road race.
