Davies Makes History with 5,000m Gold

Australian Rose Davies has made history by becoming the first woman ever to win both the 5,000m and 10,000m gold at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The Newcastle-born 26-year-old celebrated her second gold medal with an emotional display, dropping to her knees in joy after securing the 5,000m victory on Friday morning (AEST). Davies triumphed in a battle royal with her Australian teammate Jessica Hull at Scotstoun Stadium.

This remarkable achievement follows Davies' earlier gold in the 10,000m, cementing her status as one of Australia's most successful middle-distance runners at the Commonwealth Games. chickenroadslot.lat
