Bruce McAvaney praises Cam Myers after Glasgow 2026 Men’s Mile semi-final – Seven’s Bruce McAvaney and Tamsyn Manou praised Cam Myers after his composed run in the Men’s Mile semi-final at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
McAvaney called the race alongside Manou during Seven’s Glasgow 2026 coverage, as Myers controlled the semi-final from the front and qualified with clear authority.
For Seven’s Commonwealth Games coverage, moments like this give the broadcast team a strong Australian athletics storyline in prime time. Myers’ run also gave McAvaney the kind of measured, tactical performance that he has long relished calling on major-event television.
McAvaney impressed by Myers
During the call, McAvaney noted the rhythm of Myers’ laps and suggested the 20-year-old looked exactly as he needed to look in the semi-final.
He tracked Myers’ pace through the race, noting a 58.28-second lap before the Australian continued to wind up the tempo. McAvaney later described the run as “just what the doctor ordered. Perfect.”
Manou also highlighted Myers’ control. She said he looked confident and mature, with no visible tension as he led the race and kept the pressure on the field.
Manou points to composure
Manou said the most impressive part of the performance was how Myers held his form when athletes behind him were still challenging for places in the final.
She noted that he did not appear anxious or forced. Instead, he stayed composed and broke the field by maintaining his shape through the closing stages.
McAvaney also referenced coach Dick Telford during the call, describing him as a legend of Australian sport and Australian athletics.
