Quick hits: Delta stuns with Aussie classic, 76yo claims history-making gold

Day nine of the Commonwealth Games saw a flurry of notable achievements, including Delta Goodrem's electrifying headlining performance, a 76-year-old woman claiming history, and an Australian cyclist celebrating a pain-free victory.

Goodrem, in a dazzling display, performed a medley of her hit songs at Glasgow's Hydro indoor arena. The Australian icon, who had headlined the closing ceremony three times before, belted out her classic "Born To Try" and later welcomed Scottish pop star Cammy Barnes to the stage for a rendition of John Farnham's "You're The Voice."

Meanwhile, Louise Hoskins, aged 76, made history as the oldest medal winner at the Commonwealth Games. Accompanied by partner Serena Bonnell, Hoskins secured a gold medal in the women's Para bowls, defeating New Zealand in a tightly contested final.

Australian cyclist Leigh Hoffman, who had already won three medals, clinched his fourth and final gold on the closing day. The time trial specialist, who rode the men's 1,000m event, admitted to feeling "cooked" after the grueling sprint but was proud to have avoided vomiting on the podium.

Australian chef de mission Petria Thomas, a nine-time Commonwealth gold medallist in swimming, celebrated the Games' significance in her life. As she was presented with a commemorative Commonwealth Sport mark, she reflected that the Games held a special place in her heart, alongside the Olympics. To honor this, Thomas decided to wear the mark proudly, marking the Commonwealth Games as another cherished memory in her illustrious career.
