9pm - IS THIS THE GREATEST MEDAL CELEBRATION EVER?

A NIGERIAN table tennis player has found a whole new way to salute a bronze medal with one of the more risque celebrations you're ever likely to see.
Ojo Onaolapo got a little over-excited after winning his bronze medal match against India's Sharath Kamal Achanta, deciding the only suitable reaction would be to display his pants to the world. Not exactly in the corinthian spirit, but damn entertaining.
With shorts back on, the 19-year-old was paraded around the arena by ecstatic teammates while compatriots danced in the stands.
If you're in Glasgow and not at the ping pong, you're clearly missing out.

NIGERIAN weightlifting gold medallist Chika Amalaha has failed a doping test at the Commonwealth Games.
The 16-year-old Nigerian returned a positive test for diuretics and masking agents after winning gold on Friday, Commonwealth Games Federation boss Mike Hooper confirmed today.
She will have her 'B' sample tested at a laboratory in London on Wednesday.
"We issued a formal notice of disclosure to an athlete following an adverse analytical finding as a consequence of an in-competition test," said Hooper.
"That athlete is Nigerian weightlifter Chika Amalaha who was tested on July 25th. That athlete has now been suspended from the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow."

A COMMONWEALTH Games weightlifter from Papua New Guinea has been committed to stand trial over an alleged sexual assault on another man, Robert Craddock writes.
Toua Udia, 22, is alleged to have touched the man in a Tesco toilets less than a kilometre from the athletes village.
He was arrested and charged last Tuesday and has pleased not guilty, claiming it was "a misunderstanding".
Udia was released on bail after surrendering his passport and was given permission to attend the opening ceremony.
He competed in the 77kg weightlifting category on Sunday, finishing ninth.
7.45pm - SWIM TEAM TO GET STRAIGHT ON THE PLANE
AUSTRALIA's swimmers will jet out of Glasgow less than 24 hours after their meet, subjected to a booze ban and curfews that prevent them leaving the village at night, Jon Ralph writes.
The aftermath of the disastrous 2012 London Olympics for the swimmers, affected by what official reviews dubbed a "toxic culture", has seen them kept on a tight rein in Glasgow.
The upcoming Pan Pacs competition in August on the Gold Coast means they will miss the Closing Ceremony, after being forced to skip the Opening Ceremony with competition about to kick off.
The Pan Pacs will see much sterner competition from the star-studded American team, with Japan and Canada also involved in the four-nation swimming meet.

7.30pm - AUSSIE TEAM RALLIES AROUND CHAMOUN
AUSTRALIAN team bosses have vowed to support blind weightlifter Malek Chamoun, who was distraught after crashing out of his competition without lifting a weight, Jon Ralph writes.
Chamoun has been one of the inspirations of the Australian team given his qualification despite the degenerative condition retinitis pigmentosa.
He had promised to inspire Australia but he recorded three no-lifts at 140kg in the snatch section of the 85kg competition. It meant he was eliminated from the Glasgow competition and could not even attempt a lift in the clean-and-jerk event.
Australian chef de mission Steve Moneghetti said Chamoun would be supported by the entire Australian team including father George, here in Glasgow.
"He took it really hard and we are all aware of the back story and hopefully we can get around him and support him,'' he said.
