Torrential rain causes chaos at the athletics in the Commonwealth Games, but England's Amy Hunt produces one of a number of impressive performances.

Amy Hunt adds 100m silver in Glasgow to her 200m silver at last year's World Championships "I am absolutely slathered up in deep heat right now, my legs are tingling," said England's Amy Hunt after securing silver in the 100m. As other parts of the UK prepared for the fourth heatwave of the summer, the Commonwealth Games athletics competition was given a drenching in Glasgow. Athletes shivered their way through their media interviews and high jump champion Eleanor Patterson of Australia was wearing a tartan scarf while officials struggled to clear water from the runway. "This is the first time I have raced in these conditions," said Emmanuel Eseme of Cameroon, who powered through after a slow start to win the men's 100m. "It was horrible. But we were all racing in the same conditions and I wanted to be that person with the least complaints. That is what worked for me." There was a point midway through the session when the conditions threatened to breach into the ridiculous. Persistent rain turned torrential and the first two throws of the women's hammer throw slipped from athletes' grip and clattered into the cage as thunder cracked above the arena.
