Australian champion Sally Pearson's bid for a third straight Commonwealth Games 100m hurdles title is over, just as the Gold Coast Games begin.
Pearson has been battling an Achilles problem since late February, although she did run a leg of a 4x100m relay last week in Brisbane.
Camilla’s perceived indifference at Comm Games
Commonwealth Game bosses have leapt to the defence of Prince Charles’ wife Camilla, saying she was not bored but jet-lagged during last night’s Gold Coast opening ceremony.
The Duchess of Cornwall appeared disinterested at times during the ceremony and was caught on camera browsing through the program during Games chairman Peter Beattie’s speech.
Camilla was caught reading a magazine during Peter Beattie’s speech at the opening ceremony on Wednesday night.
“She was jet-lagged, she’d just got off the plane in the morning,”Ms Martin said.
