Australians will compete in six sports on Thursday and it is make or break for the cycling teams’ medals chances.

Following Jay McCarthy’s exceptional ride into 2nd in the men’s time trial, Australia’s cyclists will be at it again when Kirsten Dellar and Matt Dunsworth take to the Tampines Bike Park BMX track tomorrow.

Dellar who has to compete in three disciplines is savouring the thought of competing in her pet event. “I am going to show those mountain bike girls what BMXer’s can do.”

A strong day will put the Aussies back in medal contention after struggling in the tough conditions during the mountain bike.

In the final athletics qualification session on Thursday morning Jenny Blundell will race the 1,000m, Brody Cross flies in the pole vault, Raheen Williams tackles the 400m hurdles and late addition to the team Monica Brennan gets to show her talent in the 200m.

Based on season best performances all four athletes are capable of reaching the A finals but they will need to achieve close to or new personal bests at Bishan Stadium.

The women’s 4x100m freestyle relay is the only swimming final that Australia will be contesting. Zoe Johnson, Emma McKeon, Emily Zelig and Madison Wilson want to go better than their medley silver. 

The baby of the Team, Angela Donald will contest the blue ribband All Around artistic gymnastics final. The 14-year-old qualified in seventh and will add some extra difficulty to some of her routines. She looked comfortable in qualifying and will no doubt do Australia proud again.

For the first time partners from different countries will compete in archery tomorrow, having been paired based on scores from the ranking stage of the individual event.

Silver medallist Ellie Salthouse will be looking to add another Youth Olympics medal to her collection when she joins up with teammate Michael Gosman and two Kiwis in the mixed team triathlon relay.

The basketball girls and hockey boys take a well deserved rest.
