And there is the home nations first medal of these Games! Leeds' Jessica Learmonth holds on for silver! A fine, fine performance from the 29-year-old.

Duffy was in a class of her own. She won in 56 minutes and 50 seconds with Learmonth 43 seconds back.

Canada's Joanna Brown sprints away from England's Vicky Holland to take bronze with Holland finishing fourth.

Flora Duffy has a smile on her first as she approaches the finish line. She collects a Bermudan flag. She is going to win the first gold of these Games...

Non Stanford hasn't had quite the winter's running that she would have liked and it is still quite early in the season. She doesn't seem to quite have the fitness she would have liked to have had by this point.

We haven't seen any threat from this chase pack, however, and Jess Learmonth will be hoping to continue her run home for silver.

Flora Duffy is cruising. She has opened up a 16-second lead over England's Jess Learmonth at the end of the first lap on foot.

She has around 2000m to go before it looks like she'll clinch the first medal of these Games.

Learmonth is holding on to silver.

Fellow English athlete Vicky Holland is currently in bronze. Can they pair hold on?

If you’ve never visited the Gold Coast, I’ll sum up early observations in three words: clean, friendly, expensive.

Two bedroom flats around here are going for north of £500,000. And there in lies part of this area’s history.

The area was originally called South Coast but in the 1950s as money flowed in through the Brisbane elite who holidayed here, journalists nicknamed it the Gold Coast. At first this was seen as flippant but as time went on, local authorities just went with it and eventually renamed the area.

What would you rename your town for it to fit its status?

Speaking of Nile Wilson, I saw the gymnast in a well-known greetings card shop in Leeds on Valentines Day earlier this year.

I think we were both struggling to choose.

That's my example of a time I met a Commonwealth Games athlete. Have you got any stories to tell? The more random the better.

Don't forget the early stages of the men's team artistic gymnastics are under way which also doubles as qualification for the individual events.

This is currently section three with the English team featuring Max Whitlock and Nile Wilson among others to come later in section three.

Jersey's Daniel Lee has made a decent start and is third after three disciplines so far.

You can watch that here.

Jess Learmonth is the fastest to fix the D-lock to her bike, take off her lights and untuck her trouser legs from her socks.

The Englishwoman is first out of transition with hot favourite Flora Duffy hard on her heels.

Meanwhile the Bird family - mum Emily, dad Jeremy and children Ethan and Avalyn- are supporting anything that moves in Green and Gold.

Jessica Learmonth is still battling well here. She leads world champion Flora Duffy at the end of the cycle. They have two 2500m laps to run now.

There's a big battle on behind amongst the chasing pack for bronze. Learmonth has one hand on a silver here.

This would be quite a shock in the women's hockey. Wales are ranked 16 places lower than India in the world rankings and are the lowest ranked team in their pool.

There are just a few seconds left in the second quarter.

This is all going swimmingly for world champion Flora Duffy of Bermuda. Duffy and Jess Learmonth's lead over the chasing pack has increased by another couple of seconds at the front at the end of their third lap of the bike.

England's Learmonth is sticking with the Bermudan but her weakest discipline is the run.

All signs seem to be pointing to an historic Bermudan gold here.

That is big news. Sally Pearson carried the Queen's baton - the Commonwealth equivalent to the Olympic torch - into the stadium at the opening ceremony last night.

Some calls are being made back to the office here in the triathlon press tent by local journalists with the news that hurdler and all-round hometown golden girl Sally Pearson has called a media conference for 13:00 local time.

Pearson, who has been struggling with an Achilles' tendon problem, seems likely to announce her withdrawal from the Games.

I think that story is going to trump coverage of the men's race.

Yep, as I type the man opposite is unplugging his laptop and heading for the door.

England's Vicky Holland and Wales' Non Stanford have worked their way to the front of the pack chasing down Learmonth and Duffy.

Holland and Stanford were regarded as the home nations' best hopes of a medal in this women's triathlon but they have work to do.

The gap is 57 seconds at the end of lap two. That's big. England's Jessica Learmonth is in with a great chance of a medal here.

England's Jessica Learmonth is first to emerge from the water - a balmy 24.1 degrees by the way - but two-time world champion Flora Duffy is hot on her tail.

Duffy is chasing only Bermuda's second-ever gold medal in Commonwelath Games history, after high jumper Nicky Saunders in 1990.

The Bermuda team officials are pretty happy with both Duffy and teenager Erica Hawley's swim.

"Look at my goosies," says one offering an arm.

It's a two-horse race at the moment, there's no sighting of the other athletes in this.

Jess Learmonth went out so hard in the swim and I think she realised that if she wants to win a medal here she had to get rid of the faster runners. It's a very intelligent start.
