READ NOWIan Dewhurst (athletics) from Innaloo lined up in lane 6 in heat three of the 400m hurdles.
Up against a strong field, Dewhurst completed the race in third place in a time of 49.84, just 0.09 seconds behind The Bahamas’ Jeffery Gibson who finished in second place.
Unfortunately that 0.09 seconds was enough to keep Dewhurst out of tomorrow’s final.
Madison de Rozario (athletics) from Success has a gold medal to add to her trophy cabinet after dominating the T54 1500m wheelchair final.
One of three Australians in the final, de Rozario blew her opponents out of the water, finishing the race in 3:34.06, a full two seconds ahead of silver medal winner and fellow Australian Angela Ballard in 3:36.85.
Cameron Meyer (cycling) from Helena Valley left the comfort of the indoor cycling track to have a crack at the road cycling individual time trial competition.
The world champion track cyclist surprised many when he did more than put in a strong performance.
Meyer took out the gold medal after finishing in 48:13.04, a big 30 seconds ahead of England’s Harry Tanfield who won silver in a time of 48:43.30.
Fellow Australia Callum Scotson finished in fourth.
