Australia moved to the top of the medal table after day two of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, building an early advantage over the rest of the field. The team finished the day with 6 gold medals, 2 silvers and 5 bronzes, giving it a total of 13 medals.
The early standings show Australia out in front, with Nigeria and Scotland next in the race for places near the top of the table. With only two days completed, the medal count remains at an early stage, but Australia has already created a noticeable gap.
India also got on the board by winning its first bronze medal of the Games. That result puts India among the countries to have opened their account, even though the leading positions are currently occupied by Australia and its closest challengers.
The day two tally underlines how quickly the picture can form at a multi-sport event like the Commonwealth Games. Australia has made the strongest start so far in Glasgow, while other nations will look to close the distance as more events are decided.
