    When you think about it, lifting 145kg above your head is obscene.

    I've just done a quick Google search to see what that equates to in everyday life...

    England's Emily Campbell will be one of the last athletes to go in the clean and jerk.

    She is predicted to start with a weight of 145kg on her first attempt.

    Jamaica's Krystal Latoya Campbell is first up.

    It looks like she's cleared her first attempt at 98kg, but an appeal is lodged and, after a brief review, it's ruled out.

    She fails on her second attempt, having upped the weight to 100kg, but she completes it on her final try.

    Right, back to the weightlifting...

    The clean and jerk section is starting to get under way.

    In an Instagram reel on Thursday, Melanie Woods thanked her "cheer squad" for their support at Scotstoun and described the decision as "not ideal".

    "So, I'm not Commonwealth champion any more and tomorrow morning we go again. So follow along for the plot because the drama keeps coming," she said.

    England's Ellis Kottas, the England para-athlete involved, said she is "low key traumatised" over whether she will keep her medal.

    "While I’m lowkey traumatised if I’m going to medal I want to do so on my own merit, so I will go out and give it all I’ve got. If I don’t medal so be it, I’ll still have the incredible memories of lifting that England flag," Kottas said.

    There was plenty of drama on the athletics track last night.

    Scottish para-athlete Melanie Woods won gold in the women’s 1500m T54 final, but that win has since been overturned and it has been decided that the race will be staged again after an appeal.

    Woods, 31, set a new Games record in streaking to victory in her home city on Wednesday - with England's Ellis Kottas taking silver - but the event was marred by a first-lap crash.

    Canada’s Nandini Sharma crossed the line in second place behind Woods, but was disqualified at the time for her role in the incident and Kottas upgraded.

    The Canadians‘ appeal against that failed and, after further protests by Australia and Mauritius, the Para-athletics authorities - rather than Glasgow 2026 organisers - have ruled that the event should be restaged on Friday.

    So there will be a brief break in the weightlifting before the athletes head out for the clean and jerk session.

    While we wait, let's take a look at one of the big talking points from the athletics track last night...

    She can! Emily Campbell took her time to stand it up, but she gets there in the end and there's a big smile on her face as she drops the bar.

    That puts her in second place. New Zealand's Tui-Alofa Patolo also lifted 115kg but she completed all three of her attempts, unlike Campbell.

    Tui-Alofa Patolo steps it up again and completes a 115kg lift on her third attempt. Can Emily Campbell match it?

    A grimace from Emily Campbell as she struggles on her second attempt at 114kg.

    The Englishwoman got the barbell over her head, but she couldn't extend her legs and the bar falls behind her.

    It's never too late!

    New Zealand's Tui-Alofa Patolo only started weightlifting two years ago and now she's competing at the Commonwealth Games.

    Patolo is our new leader as she registers a clean lift at 112kg.

    Here comes Emily Campbell...

    The defending champion storms up to the platform and then lets out a big breath before going for a 110kg lift on her first attempt.

    No problem. The biggest lift of the competition so far.

    Easy peasy! Siti Aqilah Farhana Draman of Malaysia steps up for her first lift at 107kg and makes it look effortless.

    We should be seeing Emily Campbell shortly. Will she stick with a 110kg opener or go higher?

    Hmm. I'd say spraying deep heat all over your shoulders before attempting to lift 103kg is not a good sign.

    India's Martina Deci Maibam is in big trouble here. Two failed attempts at 103kg and she's at risk of going out if she doesn't land her third and final lift.

    But she gets it after going up to 105kg!

    Samoa's Iuniarra Sipaia is the first athlete to go for 100kg on the snatch. She fails at the first attempt, but get the job done on her second.

    It doesn't look comfortable, though.

    There's royalty in attendance at the weightlifting!

    Princess Anne, who competed in equestrian at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games, is keeping an eye on proceedings at the SEC Armadillo.

    She was at the athletics track in Scotstoun yesterday.
