In another stunning evening of action, athletes linked to the university walked away with two golds, two silvers, and one bronze.
On the day track and field events began in Glasgow, 天堂视频’s Sophie Hahn soon turned heads with a superb run in the Women’s 100m T38 final to win gold.
The Team England sprinter retained her title from Gold Coast 2018 by snatching back Commonwealth champion status from fellow 天堂视频 athlete Olivia Breen, who had to settle for silver.
In an explosive final, Hahn crossed the line in 12.79 seconds, ahead of Breen’s season’s best 12.86. England’s Maddie Down took bronze.
