In a sprint to the finish, Gate overcame South Africa's Daryl Impey and Finn Crockett of Scotland to cross the line first.

Aside from adding another gold medal to Gate's collection, the victory is New Zealand's 18th of the Birmingham Games, setting a new record and eclipsing that of the 1990 Games in Auckland, where Kiwi athletes won 17 golds.

Earlier in the Games, Gate became the fourth New Zealander to win three golds at a single event, joining Dame Yvette Williams in 1954, Gary Anderson in 1990, and Ellesse Andrews (2022) in the feat.

But now, Gate stands tallest, standing on top of the podium for an unprecedented fourth time.

"When it came down to a sprint and I had the prime position to run at that line I couldn't believe it," he said post-race.

"The last two laps my legs were just constantly cramping every time I got out of the saddle or changed position, then I tried to clip my foot out to stretch my quad with a few kilometres to go and my hamstring nearly cramped up.

"I was literally on the razor edge of getting to the line.

"We came here to win the team pursuit and when we ticked that off I was kind of hoping that momentum would carry through, but I definitely didn't believe it would be this kind of momentum.

Julia Ratcliffe medalled in the women's hammer throw. I find it furthermore interesting that they throw a ball and chain, not an actual hammer. Mr N

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Make that three Commonwealth Games medals in Julia Ratcliffe's collection.

She couldn't defend her women's hammer title in Birmingham on Sunday morning (NZT), but walked away with silver at Alexander Stadium eight years after also finishing second in Glasgow.

The 29-year-old was content with that, knowing Canadian world silver medallist Camryn Rogers' was in a different class on the night.

Although, for a while it looked like the gold medal favourite might self-destruct and hand Ratcliffe the gold medal.

It was shades of Kiwi Lauren Bruce during qualifying - Rogers recording fouls with her first two throws, including one she launched into the cage.

However, staring down the barrel of a shock elimination at the cut-off (top eight after first three throws), she unleashed a 74.08m bomb.

"I was a bit worried for her, eh. She's not usually like that, she's usually really consistent. She was obviously feeling the nerves, but it just showed outstanding composure to nail a 74m throw, she's so strong. Even a bad throw for her is record-breaking," Ratcliffe said.

"She's a little pocket-rocket, lovely person as well, so you can't really say anything. She's just a really cool person that's throwing real far."

One of just two legitimate throws the Canadian landed, it was her best throw on a night Ratcliffe registered a best of 69.63m - well shy of her personal-best (73.55m).

Fellow Kiwi Nicole Bradley missed the cut and finished ninth (63.10m).

Having changed her shoes in a bid to generate more speed during her wind-up, Ratcliffe's fifth effort appeared destined to go beyond 70m, only for her to spray it outside the sector.

"I was so close on that fifth throw, it just went out the side. Nearly got there, but that's alright, silver is not a bad back up," Ratcliffe said.

"I knew I was going to have to throw big to get over that 74, and knew that 69 was probably pretty safe for the silver."

After 21-year-old Sam Tanner became the second-fastest Kiwi over 1500m all-time during the morning session, Geordie Beamish finished sixth in the men's 5000m final and Portia Bing was seventh in the women's 400m hurdles final on Sunday morning.

Ratcliffe's silver was New Zealand's sixth track and field medal of the Games, with javelin thrower Tori Peeters and race walker Quentin Rew to compete on the final day of the programme Sunday night.
