I haven't spent that much time watching the Commonwealth Games taking place in Glasgow, but what I have seen has been incredible. They all come to an end on Monday morning our time, having begun back on July 23rd. There's been a great deal of ongoing discussion about the viability of the Commonwealth Games, and whether or not they're finically viable, with the bigger Olympic Games to compete with. All in all, I have to say that my thinking on that has changed over the past few weeks. Once again, we've been treated with a fabulous exhibition of our finest athletes. I've loved catching some of the events and seeing competitors that I've never heard of – let alone seen competing until these games. In terms of the Comm Games future, we're constantly faced with questions that confront us in terms of what is and what isn't affordable, but ultimately, it's fantastic to have something as joyful as an international completion to focus on – or to distract us from the often-overwhelming aspects of everyday life. I did use the word international, which I know isn't strictly true with the Comm Games, but its right up there on the world stage with many great sporting nations. And it only feels like tall poppy syndrome to follow any comment about the Comm Games with “but it's not an international event”. We've had the Football World Cup to get stuck into, the Tour De France as well – and the Commonwealth Games. If I had the time to watch them all, I would. It's also been great that good chunks of those competitions have been free to view, much like the days of old when I grew up watching all of the sport New Zealand competed in – for free. Albeit on a clapped-out early rendition of colour TV. Do you remember the excitement of knowing that Dick Quax, John Walker, or Allison Roe were running in any of the Games? I don't think that collective excitement and enthusiasm has disappeared, I just think that life has become a whole lot busier for most of us. I don't know of anyone who's been able to glue themselves to all of the Comm Games, but I think we're all still celebrating some of the big wins for Kiwis when we get the chance to talk about it all with friends on the phone, or mates over a coffee. Zoe Hobbs and her amazing 100 metre gold medal was a real highlight for me. Zoe made history, producing the run of a lifetime to claim a stunning gold medal in the women's 100m final. The 28-year-old sprinter led from start to finish, crossing the line in a national record time of 10.93 seconds. The performance also established a new Oceania record and cemented Hobbs' place among the greatest athletes New Zealand has produced. That's just one amazing highlight in the mix of fabulous New Zealand wins for me. My youngest daughter once ran at national level, and I loved watching her incredible determination to be the best runner she could be. I share that same sense of joy when I see our determined athletes smashing records and personal bests at these Commonwealth Games. David Liti the weightlifter was another. Liti set a Games record by lifting 223kg to become a two-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist. So yes, although I haven't been able to see a whole bunch of events from theses Commonwealth Games, I really hope that they have a long future. In a climate where money is being pulled from so many aspects of life deemed to be unaffordable or frivolous, I sincerely hope that successive governments see the value in supporting our athletes to be the best that they can be. Whether or not they do is entirely out of your —or my— control, but all we can do is cheer loudly and keep celebrating our victorious competitors in the hope that they will a Commonwealth Games to aim for in 2030.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Our Covid response: 5/10 In totality it looks like a thing you do to score some points against the other guys, with no real sense there is any accountability and no real assurance it won't be the same next time. Parental leave: 5/10 Political misstep of the week. Took a decent idea, then turned it into an inter-coalition bitch slap. Gregg's: 3/10 First the peaches, then the coffee. What's next? Jaffas? Oh, wait. The new tariffs: 2/10 Between them, the courts, and the war, the Trump presidency, if not already in flames, looks increasingly combustible. Zoe Hobbs: 7/10 My pick of the success stories from Glasgow. Seemed overwhelmed, grateful, and pleased she could prove the doubters wrong.

Mark Watson - experienced New Zealand sports broadcaster and Olympics commentator - joins Brendan Telfer on It's Only Sport, recapping some key track and field events that have occurred at the 2024 Paris Games.

Disappointment for sprinter Zoe Hobbs - who's missed out on the women's 100 metre final at the Paris Games. The Olympic debutant finished sixth in her heat, with the top two in all three semis and the next two fastest advancing. NZ Herald sports journalist Michael Burgess says Hobbs managed an incredible performance in a competitive sport, but it wasn't enough. "She ran 11:08 in her heat and 11:07 today would have been enough to make the final, but as she explained - she had a slightly poor start."

Before I launch into the usual litany of woe, and really, the stories making the news headlines are indeed indicative of a woeful state of affairs, I do think we should acknowledge some of the good news around.  Zoe Hobbs was magnificent in Sydney over the weekend; the Tarankai raised, Auckland based sprinter has officially become the first New Zealand woman to run under 11 seconds for the 100 metres. Hobbs created history at the Sydney Track Classic by running 10.97 to scalp one-tenth of a second from her Oceania women's 100m record with an exhilarating performance. Sticking with sport, in the third game of their second season in Super Rugby Pacific, the Fijian Drua have claimed one of the biggest upsets in the competition's history beating the Crusaders 25-24 which has to be good news for rugby full stop. We also had three sold out concerts on Saturday night showcasing New Zealanders eclectic music tastes: BackStreet Boys, Snoop Dogg, and My Chemical Romance. So many beautiful emos in the central city on Sunday… and there's a great exhibition from the Tate Gallery on at the Auckland Art Gallery which is a must see.  There was sunshine and people flocking to beaches, and I could pretend for just a moment that we'd had a summer up north. So that's the good news. We return now to our regular scheduled programming. How on earth is the government and Andrew Coster going to spin this? Retail crime is up nearly 40 per cent —nearly 300 incidents every single day— and that's just the reported crime. 292 incidents every day in 2022, up from 140 per day in 2018. Why? Because the crims know they'll get away with it.  There's been a 400 per cent increase in ram raids in five years, 76 per cent of those caught under the age of 18. Why? Because the crims know they'll get away with it.  If you're on any neighbourhood FB page you'll see the footage of crims coming up driveways looking for homes to break into, cars to steal, opportunties to take stuff they're not willing to work for - why? Because they know they'll get away with it.  Violent gun crime is on the rise. Police data reveals that while the number of firearm offences has risen and fallen over the past 15 years, 2021 was the worst over that period with 1,308 firearms offences recorded. It surpassed 2019 when there were 1,142 incidents, including the mosque terror attacks. So 2021 worst year in 15 years - until 2022.  That was on track for being the worst year ever.   Data released by police under the Official Information Act shows 10 murder or manslaughter deaths in 2022, up until 31 July. There were 11 in total in 2021. Injuries are also running at a record rate, on track to exceed 300 firearm-related injuries for the first time. In 2021, there were 298 gun-related injuries recorded by police, the highest ever.  Why?  You know the chorus - repeat after me. Because they know they'll get away with it.  And all we get from the Police Commissioner and this government is gaslighting: New Zealand is a safer place because of the gun buyback. There is no increase in crime.  Ram raids have decreased since I became PM. There are more police on the streets. Fog cannons will make a difference. Utter, utter BS from a government that will not draw a line in the sand and say enough. No more. In a civilised society this is simply not acceptable and those who transgress, those who don't or won't observe the rules of civilised society need to be punished. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
