Commonwealth Games: Lewis Oliva wins cycling silver for Wales

Lewis Oliva won Wales' third medal of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games with silver in the men's keirin.

He joined gold-medal weightlifter Gareth Evans and para-cyclist James Ball's silver.

Earlier Australia beat a Wales team including table tennis prodigy Anna Hursey 3-1 in the quarter-finals of the Commonwealth Games team competition.

Wales lost after Charlotte Carey, Chloe Thomas and Hursey, 11, beat Sri Lanka 3-1 following defeat by India.

Medical student Oliva reached the final via a repechage and after trailing early in the final, powered towards the front to finish behind Australia's Matt Glaetzer with New Zealand's Edward Dawkins taking bronze.

Ciara Horne, Hayley Jones and Jessica Roberts missed out on the women's medal races in the 3,000m individual pursuit, along with Ethan Vernon and Sam Harrison in the 4,000m men's event, while Rachel James and Ellie Coster bowed out of the sprint at the last 16 stage.

But there were personal bests across the board for the Welsh track cyclists.

Hursey lost her singles rubber 3-2 but bounced back immediately to win the doubles with Thomas.

Carey brought Wales back, but lost her final game against Miao Miao.

Two singles victories from Carey had sealed the win against Sri Lanka, but Australia proved too strong.
