Scottish running ace Josh Kerr has lit the fuse for the Commonwealth Games with a spectacular new world mile record at the London Stadium, roared into history by a packed house of 60,000.
Australia's star women athletes also showed they're in sparkling form with the Games looming in Glasgow next week as Jess Hull and Nicola Olyslagers both annexed morale-boosting Diamond League triumphs on Saturday.
The 28-year-old Edinburgh middle distance ace Kerr clocked 3 minutes, 42.66 seconds to break the 27-year-old record of 3:43.13 set by Moroccan great Hicham El Guerrouj in Rome in 1999, before setting off on a lap of honour to remarkable acclaim after his achievement.
