Kristina Krstic wins Commonwealth Games gold in lawn bowls women’s pair

Kristina Krstic has claimed a dramatic gold in the women’s pairs in Birmingham, the first Western Australian to win Commonwealth Games gold in lawn bowls since 1982.

On the final end, Australia looked to be taking gold with a two bowl advantage, before England’s Amy Pharaoh knocked one of the Australian bowls out, leaving Australia with one and the scores tied at 18 after 18 end.
