Amy Hunt battled through terrible conditions to splash her way to silver in the blue-riband Commonwealth Games 100m final.

Hunt, who won world 200m silver last year, was looking to become the first British woman to win the Commonwealth 100m title in 40 years.

She qualified third fastest to the final, in which she was beaten to gold by New Zealand's Zoe Hobbs, who took gold in 10.93 seconds, five hundredths ahead of Hunt. 

But Hunt was just one hundredth of a second outside her personal best and said: "I love a head-to-head, I did really well to beat Zoe (Hobbs) in the semis but she's such a formidable athlete, so I'm really happy to come away with silver, very close to my personal best in these very Glaswegian conditions. 

"To be bringing medals back from every Champs is something I'm really proud of.”

Imani-Lara Lansiquot finished fourth in a season's best of 11.02, just three-hundredths of a second outside the podium places.

Hunt added: "It almost makes me emotional. I am so proud of that girl. I've seen first-hand the amount of work she puts in, the amount of grit she has, she's such a fighter. I love going training with her every day, we have a little book swap, we watch Twilight together. 

"She is such an amazing person to train with. She really inspires me every day, so for her to come away with fourth is just incredible.”

Elsewhere on a soaking night at Scotstoun, Jade O'Dowda worked her way into a strong position in the women's hepthatlon.

The 26-year-old sits second after four events, 49 points behind Northern Ireland's Kate O'Connor, while Niamh Emerson is also firmly in medal contention and sits fourth overnight.

Charlotte Payne finished just outside the podium places in a women's hammer throw which was interrupted by the incessant rainfall.

Payne's best throw of 67.34m was enough for fourth, 71cm outside the medal places, while Tara Simpson-Sullivan finished ninth after managing 62.94m.

Scott Beattie finished fifth in the men's 10,000m, clocking 27:54.50, while Morgan Lake was unable to record a mark in the women's high jump final.

Elliot Jones' progress in the men's 100m was ended at the semi-final stage, as he finished seventh in 10.24.
