Lawn bowler Aaron Wilson gets his rig out0:32
Commonwealth Games: After clinching gold in the lawn bowls, Aussie Aaron Wilson decided to rip the top off and enjoy a lap of honour with his rig out to celebrate.
Hometown hero Skye Nicolson has honoured the memory of her late brother with an emotional gold medal triumph at the Commonwealth Games, but her opponent Michaela Walsh was furious
Nicolson, whose brother Jamie won featherweight bronze at the 1990 Auckland Games, prevailed by the tightest of margins for a split decision victory over Northern Ireland’s Walsh in the 57kg final at Oxenford Studios.
Neither woman was able to land a significant blow for much of the contest, with three out of five judges scoring the fight 29-28 in Nicolson’s favour.
Walsh was devastated after the fight and can consider herself unlucky not to have prevailed.
“I don’t really know how I lost that fight. I don’t even think it was close,” Walsh told AAP.
“But she’s the face of the Games and sometimes that’s the way it is.
“Some of the decisions have been really bad lately, for Australia, I don’t know how they can get away with it. But it’s just going to make me stronger.”
