Australia can't stop winning gold at the Comm Games - how are we doing it? And who on earth is 'Clicky' Ponting?
from Two Good Sports · host iHeart Australia, Abbey Gelmi and Georgie Tunny
We try to make sense of an avalanche of gold medals, record-breaking performances and some remarkable athlete stories coming out of the Comm Games. A week ago we were wondering where the hype is, now it's everywhere. Lachie Kennedy broke the national 100-metre record with a time of 9.85 seconds. Torrie Lewis won Bronze and broke her own record with a time of 10.99. In the pool Australia’s swim team closed out Glasgow 2026 with 76 medals in total, a haul that eclipses the previous record set in 2018 on the Gold Coast. Plus, we unpack the county cricket controversy that has the whole internet talking, with a fielder now dubbed "Clicky Ponting" accused of snapping his fingers to help sell a wicketkeeper catch to the umpire. Plus, the Diamonds' uniform debate, Gina Rinehart's athlete bonuses, Col Pearse's powerful advocacy statement, and the bigger question hanging over the Games: if the Commonwealth Games continue with a reduced program, what does its future look like? Harvey Norman love sport. Supporting Australian athletes at all levels, from grassroots to the world stage for over thirty years.
