Australia has won 10 out of 11 cycling medals contested so far at the 2010 Commonwealth games in India. A lot countries would be happy with a single gold medal at a major games competition. Totally amazing! Here is how they did it:

- Anna Meares won her third gold medal of the meet in the women’s sprint final.
- Teenager Megan Dunn grabbed her second in the women’s scratch race.
- The Australian men’s pursuit team shattered the Commonwealth record in taking gold.
- Then it was the men’s pursuit team’s turn to become gold medallists - Jack Bobridge, Michael Hepburn, Cameron Meyer and Dale Parker clocking a new Games record of 3min 55.476sec to beat New Zealand, who took the silver medal.
- It was the second gold medal of the Games for both South Australian Bobridge and West Australian Meyer.
