Rose Davies of Australia has made Commonwealth Games history by winning gold medals in both the 5,000 metres and 10,000 metres, becoming the first female athlete to achieve this feat at the Games.[1][2] Davies secured her second title on Friday morning at Scotstoun Stadium in Glasgow, crossing the finish line in 14 minutes and 44.53 seconds.[1][2]
Davies's victory in the 5,000 metres came ahead of her Australian teammate Jessica Hull, who took the silver medal with a time of 14:45.01.[1] Hull, an Olympic silver medallist, acknowledged the extraordinary nature of the moment, stating: "With 150 to go, I realised we were going to go 1-2 and that was pretty incredible."[2] Scotland's Megan Keith claimed the bronze medal in 14:49.10.[1]
Davies's performance capped a remarkable week in which she had previously won the 10,000 metres title on the opening day of the athletics programme.[1] Following her historic double, Davies reflected on her achievement: "I can't believe it. I'm so so happy. To win in the 10k was a dream, and then I knew I had to refocus. And yeah, to win in the 5k is just crazy."[2]
