Swimming: Gemma Atherley (pictured above) made history on Monday by becoming Jersey’s first female swimmer ever to make an individual Commonwealth Games final. The 24-year-old swam a time of 2:18.53 to finish in 8th spot at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre.
Earlier, in the heats, teenager Lily Scott (pictured below) broke the Island record in the 100m freestyle, registering a time of 57.84.
Harry Shalamon (pictured below) was also among the record-breaking Jersey swimmers in action on Monday. He set a new island record in the 100m butterfly, with a time of 54.89.
Gymnastics: Jersey gymnast Daniel Lee was in his second final of the Games. Dan had originally been on the reserve list for the Rings final, but was called up to compete after injury to another competitor. His score of 12.9 from the judges was enough for seventh place. England’s Courtney Tulloch took the gold medal with 14.4.
Cycling: Rhys Pilley was back on the track at Lee Valley for his second event of the Games, the 1000m time trial. His time of 1:05.63 to cover the kilometre distance was 6 seconds behind the eventual winner, and enough to give Rhys 16th place.
On Tuesday, siblings Zane and Shadine Duquemin both go in the discus, while Zach Saunders competes in the 100m heats. Jersey’s fours bowls team kick off their campaign against New Zealand, while Isaac Dodds, Harry Shalamon, Jack Allan, Ollie Brehaut and Gemma Atherley are all back in the pool in individual heats at Sandwell Aquatics Centre.
