Tyne Tees commonwealth games

Middlesbrough swimmer Aimee Willmott has won the first gold in the pool at the Commonwealth Games 2018.

She took the prize in the women's 400 metres individual medley and denied Scotland's Hannah Miley a third successive title.

The 25 year old powered through the final 50m to claim the top prize and finished in 4:34.90.

• SILVER - Hannah Miley for Scotland
• BRONZE - Blair Evans for Australia

Willmott finished as the silver medallist behind Miley four years ago and was delighted that the roles had been reversed this time.

Middleweight boxing Commonwealth champion Savannah Marshall said she is overwhelmed by support from friends and family who helped her to a gold medal in last night's final.

The boxer from Hartlepool beat Canadian Ariane Fortin after a split decision from the judges.

Now the hard work has paid off, she says it's high time she had a holiday.

The fastest man in the world peers down from the top of the podium at the England team who almost caused huge upset in the 4 x 100m relay.

Stockton's Richard Kilty ran a strong third leg for England, putting the team marginally ahead of their Jamaican rivals as he passed the baton to teammate Danny Talbot for the final sprint.

But in the end Talbot was no match for Usain Bolt, striding out to take gold for Jamaica.
