"This performance shows the grit that we're about. Sport is challenging, sport is tough. The best athletes are the most resilient, that's why I am so proud of this team."

0020 WARM WINDS GREET ROAD RACERS

Cloudy and overcast conditions with a stiff warm northerly wind has greeted the women's road race cyclists as they pedal their way around the streets of the Gold Coast on the 10th and penultimate day of competition.

While a high of 29 degrees Celsius predicted, showers are forecast for later in the day as the men begin their rugby sevens programme.

Trans-Tasman rivalry will be to the fore with New Zealand and Australia meeting in the finals of both the men's and women's hockey and the men's heavyweight boxing. They also square off in the netball and women's squash doubles semi-finals.

Plenty of medals are up for grabs to cap off the athletics programme on the track with all four relays, the men's 1,500m women's high jump and men's triple jump to be decided. Both marathons will be run on Sunday.
