Commonwealth Games: A Disappointing Note for Australian Athletes The euphoria of recent successes on the track and cycling events has been overshadowed by a shock semifinal defeat for the Australia netball team, known as the Diamonds, to Jamaica.
The missed final shot by Sophie Dwyer marked the end of Australia's hopes for gold in this event. This loss comes after several victories by Australian athletes across different disciplines at the Commonwealth Games.
Notably, Jemima Montag won a gold medal in the 10,000m race walk event, where her decision to sit behind teammate Lizzy McMillen and then overtake her towards the end has been described as "selfish" by some.
