Last night capped one of Australia's best ever Commonwealth Games campaigns, with our men's and women's artistic teams winning gold in the same Games for the first time ever. That was followed up by some superb individual performances that will surely boost confidence before next week's World Championships.
Here's some online press and pictures from last night's finals...
