This article appeared in the HS looking back over those special moments at the G. I know that there are many 'G lovers', like myself on the site. How many of the 25 did you witness?
I can count 10. Most memorable... Kerryn McCann's finish of the Comm Games marathon, full house going nuts that got her across the line. (I wasn't there for EJ unfortunately)
"The lead changed six times in the final 2km as McCann battled Kenyan Hellen Koskei in a sprint for the finish. After the runners entered the MCG, McCann took the lead in the last 200m and the stadium erupted in delight as she won by the small margin of just two seconds.
Sadly, the mother of two, who had defended her title from Manchester in 2002, faced a much tougher challenge a year later.
After giving birth to another child, she lost her fight against cancer and died in 2008 aged 41."
Even without the sad post script, it was a magic moment!!
