BOWEN GOUGH from Bass has made the region proud overnight in Birmingham competing in the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Gough is a talented swimmer, especially in the stroke of Butterfly and last night he competed in the 200m men’s event at the games, after winning it at the Australian Nationals earlier this year (with a personal best time), qualifying him for his Commonwealth Games debut.
He flew through his heat, being the first to touch with a time of 1.57, earning him a place in the final.
Taking lane six, Gough walked out for his first Commonwealth Games final confident that his best could have him on the podium, however it wasn’t to be.
Despite a really strong second 100 metres, Gough just missed the medals, finishing fourth by .07 of a second, with a time of 1.56.84.
A remarkable result regardless, for a man in his first Commonwealth Games he has done the region proud.
After just three days of events, Australia currently sits atop the medal tally for the games with 32 total, and 11 gold.
