    Take nothing away from the Australian women’s 4x100m team because their world record of 3:30.05 was out of the world and there’s every chance on today's showing that Cate Campbell will set an individual record later in the week.

    However the fact that out of the whole of Commonwealth only five nations could seemingly find four women to swim 100m freestyle is really quite shocking.

    For all of the really impressive world-class times produced by the top-end nations and swimmers, there is still a real lack of depth across the Commonwealth in this sport.

    It is not universally good PR for Gold Coast 2018.

    The evening news includes a segment on the transport problems around the opening ceremony.

    Apparently one broken down bus and 2000 people unexpectedly picking the same stop to start their journey to the stadium were to blame.

    If you hate sport but like your electronica then Gold Coast 2018 loves you too. Back near the beach, where shops pile ice creams and where glasses klink, there’s a stage currently owned by Brisbane act Austen. She’s sounding tip top and the leather trousers are a throw back to the glorious East 17 days.

    The 200m breaststroke is a funny event and winning times at major competitions can sometimes be quite a distance from the current world record of 2:06.07.

    Wilby’s time of 2:08.05 may be a way off, but it’s highly competitive and a really impressive personal best from the Englishman who trains with Adam Peaty.

    Did Peaty see this coming and duck the event? We’ll probably never know, but what we do know is that Wilby is a swimmer on the up, while silver medallist Ross Murdoch has endured another dip in his rollercoaster career.
