A selection of what the athletes have had to say on the 10th day of action in Glasgow.

New Zealand Track Cyclist Sam Dakin (pictured), fresh from winning bronze in the final race of his career, the Men's 1000m Time Trial, is already looking forward to the perks of retirement:
 
"I'll probably have a lot more beers and eat a fried chicken burger, so I'm pretty bloody excited."
 
Meanwhile, gold medallist in the same event, Australia's Leigh Hoffman, also has food on the mind - but not in a good way:
 
"It's one kilometre of all-out sprint, 58 seconds of pure pain. I had eaten about four hours before so my stomach was pretty empty, so I'm proud I didn't spew (throw up), which is great."
 
Inspired by the Black Ferns' last Commonwealth triumph in 2010, New Zealand Netballer Kelly Jackson will be allowed to enjoy this one a bit more.
 
"I remember watching that famous gold medal match in Delhi in 2010. I was back in high school, actually in the hostel. We snuck out to the TV room to watch the game, and we had to write lines all night because the matrons weren't happy that we'd sneaked out. I remember going to bed so excited about that win. I'll have to send them a message now and a photo of the gold medal and say it was worth it." 
 
Damien Delgado and Jimmy Reynolds made it an Australia double in Para Bowls Pairs when they beat New Zealand to land gold in the Men's B6-B8. When asked if he had any superstitions, Delgado said:
 
“Not really, apart from I always put my right shoe on first – although that’s because I don’t have a left leg.”
 
There was a heartbreaking end to a stellar career for Scottish Judo great Sarah Adlington, who lost to Marie Loanne Durhone of Mauritius in their Women's +78kg elimination round contest. Adlington, who turns 40 on Wednesday, won her first Games gold at Glasgow 2014 and was hoping to become the first judoka to win three Commonwealth Games gold medals:

“To finish like that is not what I came for, but that is sport, that is judo ... You win some, you lose some. The result hasn’t always gone my way throughout my career but that is what makes me the person I am ... I didn’t have any female role models growing up so if I can inspire one young girl to take up sport, knowing that people of all shapes and sizes can succeed, I’ll be happy.”
