We're already into Day 3 of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Team Isle of Man's swimmers will be back in the pool at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre this morning.

Peter Allen will compete in the Men's 200m Butterfly - Heat 3 at 10:37am.

17-year-old Harry Robinson will be in Lane 5 in the Men's 50m Backstroke - Heat 3. The heat is scheduled for 10:55am.

Harry will then join team mate Alex Bragazzi in the Men's 100m Freestyle at 11:26am.

Joel Watterson will compete in the Men's 100m Freestyle at 11:29am. The 23-year-old broke his own Manx record in Saturday's event with a time of 50.65.

Swimming is one of four sports or disciplines that have been contested at every Commonwealth Games - the others are athletics, boxing and diving.

You'll be able to watch the action on the BBC and iPlayer.

 

Team Isle of Man's Commonwealth Games campaign heads South this morning for Track Cycling.

Matthew Bostock will aim to score in the men's 15km Scratch race at the Lee Valley Velodrome in London.

The 25-year-old is competing in his second games for Team Isle of Man and recently won the International Stage Race on home soil last weekend, took the win in the British National Circuit Race Championships and a 5th in the National Road Race Championships.

A podium place for the Manxman is highly possible.

The heats start at 11.50am and if Bostock qualifies, he will tackle the final just after 6.30pm.

 

Tara Donnelly will compete in the Women's All Around Final in the Artistic Gymnastics this afternoon.

Yesterday, the 23-year-old recorded a total score of 43.7 in the morning qualification at Arena Birmingham. 

She finished 23rd in the overall standings following the afternoon session.

Tara was the first home nation to compete in the sport at this year's Games.
