Cyprus BRONZE at Commonwealth Games

History made. Congratulations.

  1. England 254.550
  2. Canada 241.200
  3. Cyprus 239.650

The super experienced British Men’s team ran away with it. Followed by the new look (young) Canadian men’s team. Both predictable.

But I don’ think anyone not from Cyprus was predicting this. Amazing.
