Elaine Thompson-Herah, Jake Wightman sprinkle Commonwealth stardust

Double Olympic sprint champion Elaine Thompson-Herah and men’s 1500 metres world champion Jake Wightman both sailed through their heats at the Commonwealth Games on Thursday. Thompson-Herah’s hopes of adding 200m gold to the 100m title she won on Wednesday will partly rest on whether Namibia’s Olympic silver medallist Christine Mboma shakes off rustiness due to a lack of training.
