Weightlifter Eileen Cikamatana, who switched from Fiji to Australia four years ago, is the first woman to win Commonwealth Games gold medals for two countries.
Australian Kyle Bruce was denied an 81kg weightlifting gold medal after his final lift was overturned by judges, while Sarah Cochrane also won 64kg silver.
After winning Commonwealth Games gold for Fiji in 2018, Eileen Cikamatana will attempt to repeat that feat for Australia in Birmingham.
