GOLD Coast, Australia -- In his second event of the XXI Commonwealth Games, Izaak Bastian had to settle for sixth place in the fifth of eight heats of the men's 50 metre freestyle at the Optus Aquatic Centre yesterday.
Bastian's time of 24.07 seconds placed him 31st overall in a field of 60 competitors - one was disqualified - and he is slated to return to the pool for his third swim in the men's 200m individual medley at 11.21am Australian time in lane eight of heat three. The swimming segment will be completed on Tuesday.
Bastian will be joined by Joanna Evans, who will also swim in her final event in the women's 400m freestyle in lane three of heat four at 10:43am.
Lilly Higgs, the other female on the team, is already done with her two swims. And N'Nyhn Fernander is still recovering after he was withdrawn from further competition and placed in isolation at the Games Village to be treated for Influenzavirus B.
