The pole vault and diving were some of the sports on offer Thursday as Australia and Seven won more gold. Australia leads the medal tally by a long way, just as Seven leads the ratings by a massive amount after eight nights of competition and another with the Opening Ceremony.
A Commonwealth Games edition of The Front Bar screened late in the night with 319,000 – 54,000 in Sydney and Perth and 126,000 in Melbourne.
