POLE Vaulter Steve Lewis secured Commonwealth Games gold tonight after a tense jump-off with fellow Englishman Luke Cutts.
The 28-year-old, from Light Oaks, prevailed at Glasgow’s Hampden Park with a successful clearance of 5.55m.
Both Lewis and Cutts had failed three times at 5.60m, which led to the jump-off.
They both couldn’t clear the same height in the winner-takes-all battle, but Lewis held his nerve when the bar was lowered.
Lewis was among the favourties for gold having picked u pa silver medal in Delhi four years ago.
