Men’s S9 100m freestyle:

Australia’s Timothy Diskin (below left) and Brenden Hall (below right) quinellaed this event at the Rio Paralympic­s and are likely to fight out the major medals again on the Gold Coast.

Cycling

Stephanie Morton has assumed the role of Australia’s queen of the track now that Anna Meares has retired but that process began in Glasgow four years ago when she upstaged her superstar teammate to win the women’s sprint. Now she’s going into the Gold Coast Games as defending sprint champion and ready to deliver on expectatio­ns.

Gymnastics

Australia have won four of the eight Commonweal­th Games women’s team gold medals, including at the most recent home Games in Melbourne in 2006, and they are again chances but they will need to step up to beat more-fancied Canadian and English rivals.
