All you need to know about day one of the Commonwealth Games.
Triathlete Hayden Wilde had the honour to win New Zealand's first medal at the Tokyo Olympics last year and he could do the same in Birmingham. The Olympic bronze medalist is up in the men's triathlon at 10pm NZT alongside Tayler Reid and Dylan McCullough. England's Alex Yee, who pipped Wilde for silver in Tokyo, will be co-favourite.
The women's triathlon takes place at 1.31am featuring Andrea Hansen (nee Hewitt) and Nicole van der Kaay.
Dame Sophie Pascoe has a chance to add to her legacy in what could be her final appearance at the Commonwealth Games. Pascoe, who has four Commonwealth gold already, is racing in just one event in Birmingham - the 100m Freestyle S9. Her heat is at 10.20pm followed by the final tomorrow morning at 6.54am.
Cycling brought home the most medals from the Gold Coast and the New Zealand team could make a good start replicating that on day one. There's the women's 4000m Team Pursuit Final at 3.41am, the men's 4000m Team Pursuit Final at 4.20am, women's Team Sprint Final at 4.55am and the men's Team Sprint Final at 5.03am.
