The Commonwealth Games is not short of drama, as the teams which were disqualified yesterday in the Round 1 of the 4x100m men’s event appealed, and was successful.
They overturned the ruling of exchanging of baton outside the take-over zone. Bahama and Australia will now take place of Singapore and Nieu respectively in the finals, to be held later in around 3 hours time.
A damper of a news to our team indeed, but they have achieved their targets of a fine 100m individual performances, and a season-best in the 4x100m.
If based on the results of Round 1, Team Singapore is ranked tenth fastest out of the 19 Commonwealth teams in the Heats. We’re proud of you guys!
