Australia’s pole vault queen Nina Kennedy and Para swimmer Tim Hodge are set to lead the nation into the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow — Kennedy as flag bearer, Hodge as King’s Baton carrier. Kennedy, already in Scotland and aiming to defend her gold from Birmingham, has overcome a hamstring injury and recently shattered her own national record. Hodge, making his third Games appearance and seeking to defend his SB9 100m backstroke title, made his international debut in Glasgow at just 14. The baton relay, starting at Buckingham Palace with each nation’s baton bearing one word of the King’s message, marks a historic first for the Games since 1958 — with King Charles himself set to deliver the full message.
