Scotland’s Melanie Woods shattered the Commonwealth Games record again in the re-run of the Women’s 1500m T54 final, producing a stunning performance to claim the gold medal with a time of 3:32.20 on July 31.
 

The record was previously held by Canada's Diane Roy with a time of 3:36.97 set in April 2018  on the Gold Coast, Australia. 

Woods set a new Games record to triumph in Glasgow on July 29, but it emerged the next day that Para-athletics authorities had decided the race should be held again following appeals surrounding a first-lap crash.

However, the Scot kept her composure in her home city to replicate her initial success, break the record again, and reclaim the gold that was already hers - in mind if not around her neck.

"I'm happy, I'm excited, but it feels like relief, to be honest," Woods said, after backing up the triumph with a win in her 400m heat 90 minutes later.

"It's created a bit of a storyline and I feel like people have been following for the plot, so I'm just happy to be able to do it again."
