All you need to know about day five of the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Key events

Athletics, from 9.05pm

He only needed one throw to qualify for the shot put final, and what a throw it was – Tom Walsh set a Commonwealth Games record with his hurl of 22.45m, and is a heavy favourite to win gold when he takes to the circle at 10.25pm.

Earlier, Holly Robinson is a good medal chance at 9.05pm in the women's F46 javelin final, and Camille Buscomb will cap off the day in the women's 10,000 metre final at 10.35pm.

Weightlifting, from 11.30am

There could be a few medals won in the weightlifting, with several contenders ready to lift today. Stanislav Chalaev kicks us off at 11.30am in the men's under 105kg final, before Tracey Lambrechs competes in the women's under 90kg final at 4.00pm. Also at 4.00pm is Laurel Hubbard, who has had the Samoan weightlifting coach complain about her presence the day before she competes. She is favoured to win gold in the women's over 90kg final, before David Liti rounds out the day at 8.30pm in the men's over 105kg final.

Swimming, from 12.31pm

It's the penultimate day in the pool, and from a New Zealand perspective, it will be headlined by Sophie Pascoe, who will be gunning for her second gold in the women's SB9 100 metre breaststroke at 10.22pm. There's plenty of action elsewhere in the pool though as several swimmers strive to make finals, most notably the trio of Corey Main, Bradlee Ashby and Lewis Clareburt in the men's 200 metre backstroke.

Squash, from 8.00pm

There will be two chances for gold for our Kiwi squash stars, with Joelle King in the women's singles final and Paul Coll in the men's singles final. King is up first at 8.00pm against England's Sarah-Jane Perry, while Coll also faces an English opponent, taking on James Willstrop at 9.30pm.
