South Australian sports people have won 7 gold, 8 silver and 3 bronze medals in team and individual events – with more medals up for grabs when road cycling, netball, lawn bowls and athletics conclude at the end of the week.

The tally of the 35 athletes from a state with 1.6 million people is remarkably similar to the total medal winnings of Canada’s 255-strong team so far (18: 7G, 3S, 8B).

As the Australian HQ for cycling, South Australians have dominated the track cycling so far in both the men’s and women’s events.
