On Day 10 in Glasgow, New Zealand para-cyclists Emma Foy and Jessie Hodges each won their second gold at the Commonwealth Games, taking the tandem sprint and the 1000m time trial and lifting New Zealand's overall tally to 27 medals, including eight golds. Wales' Emma Finucane won the women's one kilometre time trial with Australia's Claudia Marcks second and New Zealand's Ellese Andrews taking bronze after earlier setbacks. Olympic double-medallist Ally Wollaston finished fourth in the points race, with Bryony Botha and Emily Shearman eighth and ninth. Scotland's Neil Fachie also claimed a second Commonwealth gold on an afternoon marked by a painful crash, according to reports. In boxing, Tarona Taafaki secured Tuvalu's first-ever Commonwealth Games medal after receiving a bye into the women's 75kg semi-finals and taking bronze despite losing her semi-final bout. These results added multiple historic and career milestones across para-cycling, track cycling, and boxing as the Glasgow programme moved into its final days.
