Lachlan Kennedy, a 21-year-old type 1 diabetic Australian sprinter, won silver in the men's 100 metres final at the Commonwealth Games with a time of 9.85 seconds, smashing the Australian record. Ferdinand Omanyala Sma from Cameroon claimed gold with 9.83 seconds in an extraordinarily close finish, with both runners overtaking early leader Ajayi in the final metres.
