The Olympic and world champion won the women's 100-metre butterfly on Saturday at the Commonwealth Games, while Nicolas-Guy Turbide raced to gold in the Para 50 freestyle.

Canada's Emma Spence, Jenna Lalonde, Laurie Denommee, Maya Zonneveld, and Cassandra Lee captured bronze in the gymnastics team event.The Canadian team won 82 at the Games four years ago in Australia.
“I think we started off a little slow. We definitely had some nerves going in but after we got going a bit we just relaxed and just played basketball,” coach Taya Hanson said.On the men's side, Canada defeated Northern Ireland 13-5 to conclude their pool round play. Colin Higgins paced Canada with six points and six rebounds in the win.
