GLASGOW — Emma Finucane of Wales secured a historic fourth gold medal in track cycling on the final day of the Commonwealth Games, further cementing her status as one of the Games’ standout athletes. Finucane completed a clean sweep of sprint events with victory in the keirin race at the Chris Hoy Velodrome.

Finucane had already claimed gold in the team sprint, individual sprint, and the 1,000-meter time trial earlier in the competition. Her latest win came ahead of New Zealand’s Olympic champion Ellesse Andrews, who took silver, while Australia’s Kristina Clonan earned bronze. No cyclist, male or female, had previously won four gold medals in sprint events at a single Commonwealth Games on the track.

“Honestly, I can’t put it into words,” Finucane said after the race. “Every time I won this week, it was like ‘are you going to get the four?’ And it was just so hard to block it out. I really wanted it but just had to race through the races.”

Australia continued its strong performance in the velodrome, adding two more golds through Leigh Hoffman in the men’s 1,000-meter time trial and Alyssa Polites in the women’s elimination race. The nation finished the Games with a dominant overall performance, atop the medal table with 70 golds, 45 silvers, and 56 bronzes.

Despite initially withdrawing from hosting the actual Games three years ago over cost concerns, Australia’s athletes showed their depth and talent throughout the event. England followed in second place on the medal table with 29 golds, 45 silvers, and 36 bronzes, while Canada was third with 19 golds, 20 silvers, and 23 bronzes. India, which is scheduled to host the centenary Games in Ahmedabad in four years, placed fourth with 13 golds, 17 silvers, and 9 bronzes. Hosts Scotland finished fifth, earning 13 golds, 9 silvers, and 17 bronzes.

One notable upset in the netball competition saw Australia miss out on a Commonwealth final for the first time following a narrow one-point loss to Jamaica on August 1. However, Jamaica was unable to capture gold, falling to New Zealand’s Silver Ferns. The New Zealand team edged away after a close first half to win 56-48 in front of a full house at the netball venue.

Australia recovered to claim the bronze medal with a decisive 68-50 victory over England, concluding a successful sporting campaign at the Glasgow Games.
