Congratulations to Tasmanian cyclist Amy Cure on her podium finish in the 3,000 metre pursuit at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow overnight.
Tasmanians will feel a great sense of pride in Amy's bronze medal ride in her opening event at her debut Commonwealth Games.
It is athletes like Amy Cure who are getting Tasmania the international recognition we deserve and ensuring we are never left off the map.
We wish Amy continued success as she turns her sights on the 10 kilometre Scratch Race tomorrow morning Tasmanian time, and the 25 km Points Race early on Monday.
Tasmanian boxer Nick Cooney will be the next Tasmanian to take to the world stage, competing in the lightweight division tonight.
Our world champion hockey player Eddie Ockenden will start the path towards a second successive gold when the Kookaburras take on Wales tonight.
Tasmania has seven athletes competing at the 20th Commonwealth Games.
We wish all the best to our remaining athletes yet to begin competing including boxer Jackson Woods, weightlifter Jenna Myers and track and field brothers Hamish and Huw Peacock.
