England Wins 6 Gold Medal on Day One

England won a flurry of gold medals on day one of Gold Coast 2018, with Max Whitlock helping the artistic gymnastics team to victory.

That gymnastics success was preceded by track cyclist Sophie Thornhill and pilot Helen Scott taking gold in the blind and visually impaired (B&VI) sprint.

Swimmer Aimee Willmott made it three golds in a matter of minutes as she won the 400m individual medley.

Further gold medals for swimmers James Wilby, Eleanor Robinson and Thomas Hamer swelled England's tally to six and ensured they ended day one at the top of the medal table ahead of Australia, who finished with five.
