ENGLAND’S Jodie Stimpson won the opening gold of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow yesterday on a day when the multi-sport event was hit by the withdrawal of athletics legend Mo Farah.
Stimpson, a silver medalist at the World Triathlon Series in 2013, sprinted clear with 400 meters left of the final 10-kilometer run to win a thrilling race that started with a 1.5km swim in and a 40km cycle around Strathclyde Loch.
Canada’s Kirsten Sweetland claimed silver, with England’s Vicky Holland taking bronze in warm, sunny conditions.
Action got under way also in the pool where top home hope for a gold medal Nike Air Max 97 KPU Black Red UK , Michael Jamieson was upstaged by countryman Ross Murdoch in qualifying for the 200 meters breaststroke final.
Murdoch smashed the Commonwealth Games record by over two seconds in a time of 2 minutes, 08.78 seconds with Jamieson and Calum Tait completing an all-Scottish top three in qualifying.
“Watching the crowd go wild and I just wanted that for myself and we did it, so it is something that I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” said the 20-year-old Murdoch.
Scotland’s Hannah Miley also had the home crowd in raptures in the first heat of the event by breaking her own Commonwealth record in the women’s 400 individual medley in a time of 4:38.27.
The immediacy of the action took some of the sting out of Farah’s withdrawal which rocked the Games just as they got under way.
The 5,000 and 10,000 Olympic champion Nike Air Max 97 2017 Retro Black UK , 31, was recently laid low by illness and has decided to pull out in order to work on his fitness ahead of next month’s European Championships in Zurich.
“I have taken the tough decision to withdraw from the Commonwealth Games,” Farah said in a statement released by Team England. “I really wanted to add the Commonwealth titles to my Olympic and World Championships, but the event is coming a few weeks too soon for me as my body is telling me it’s not ready to race yet. Best wishes to my fellow athletes in Glasgow.”
It had been widely feared that Jamaican sprint star Usain Bolt would not be fit for Glasgow after missing the Jamaican national championships. But he has made himself available for the 4x100 relay, compatriots Yohan Blake (hamstring injury) and Asafa Powell (ban) having already been ruled out.
