Jersey sprinter Jamie Oldham broke the island record for the 200m at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Oldham - who also set a new Jersey 100m record on Tuesday - was the fastest of the island's trio of runners in Glasgow.
His time of 21.02 seconds lowered his island record of 21.21 he set earlier this year and was 0.19 seconds off a place in the semi-finals.
Oldham finished fourth in his heat, less than half a second off Botswana's heat winner Justice Oratile as he finished 26th-fastest.
"I had an outside lane, I wasn't too happy about that coming in as I wanted someone quick on my outside to chase," Oldham told BBC Radio Jersey.

Well that is what we as Celtic supporters are currently experiencing with our tightfisted and incompetent board, and if history repeats itself, then those in charge at Celtic Football Club will have to face the music from a support that has already had enough of their extreme financial prudence and **** ding of cash that’s by and large put into the club by the fans.

We’ve so far failed to add to the addition of Camilo Duran, although talks are ongoing with German side Paderborn over the transfer of midfielder Mika Baur, and a move has been made to snap up Bodo/Glimt striker Kasper Hogh.

Worryingly though, it appears that a snag has hit the Baur deal, with claims from Germany that Celtic and Paderborn are at loggerheads over the fee, with a mere £300,000 the sum the Celtic representatives are haggling over as they can’t resist a lowball attempt to shave something off the asking price at the eleventh hour.

No Championship head coach will have his side where they want them to be at this stage of pre-season, according to Bolton Wanderers boss Steven Schumacher.
The Trotters are preparing for their return to the Championship after beating Stockport County in the League One play-off final in May.
They beat Oldham Athletic 3-1 in their second pre-season friendly on Wednesday night having returned from a training camp in Slovakia last week.
"I don't think there's any team or manager standing here now saying they're exactly where they want to be," Schumacher told BBC Radio Manchester.
"We're still a long way physically from where we need to get to, tactically we still need to work on a few things. Defensively we've looked solid enough, really well organised and the attitude to defend has been really good."

"I'm just a Jack of all trades," jokes Lucy Woodward as she trains at Jersey's athletics track for the final time before the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
The 23-year-old is set to make history in Glasgow as the first woman from Jersey to compete in a multi-event discipline in the heptathlon later this week.
She is part of a five-strong athletics team from Jersey which sees decathlete Evan Campbell joined by sprinters Zach Saunders, Steve MacKay and Jamie Oldham.
"I don't have any standout events, I always thought if I was good enough at something it might be an easier life to specialise," she tells BBC Jersey at the FB Fields athletics track where she first started multi-eventing aged 10.
"I just think the training is so diverse, every day is different. I like that you can have one bad event and then you can make up for it and it's the most interesting event if you ask me."

Colchester United have signed defender Jake Leake after he left League Two rivals Oldham Athletic.
The 23-year-old made 28 appearances in all competitions for the Latics having initially signed on loan in January 2025 before making his move permanent in June the same year.
The full-back scored two goals for Oldham and although they announced in May he was in discussions to extend his contract at Boundary Park he has elected to join Colchester.
Leake began his career at Hull City where he failed to break into the first-team before spells with Boston United, Scunthorpe United and Tranmere Rovers.
He is the U's second signing of the summer after former Lincoln City, Portsmouth and Rotherham defender defender Sean Raggett moved to the Essex club on Wednesday.

Louise Wilson, an inductee in both the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame and the Kentucky Golf Hall of Fame, died June 23. She was 96.
Born Dec. 29, 1929, Wilson was a member of the Women’s Falls Cities Golf ***** ociation for amateurs. She was a multi-time winner of the Women’s Kentucky State Amateur Championships and a course record holder at Harmony Landing in Oldham County.
According to previous Courier Journal reporting, Wilson played in her first Falls Cities tournament in 1947 and won it multiple times from 1952-2003. She was also a semi-finalist in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship in 1961. She was later inducted in the Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Kentucky Golf Hall of Fame in 1991.
Her golf journey began when she was 12, living with her family in Cherokee Triangle. She walked to the public Cherokee Golf Course, where the pro in residence gave her free lessons.
“I think I developed an addiction,” she told The Courier Journal in 2015. “I remember one Saturday I played 54 holes carrying my bag."
