Australian sprint star Torrie Lewis says she is not surprised no-one embraced gold medallist Adaejah Hodge after the women's 200m final.
Lewis finished sixth in her pet event after something of a surprise bronze in the 100m final a few nights prior.
The 21-year-old won her semifinal and was one of the fastest qualifiers into Friday's final, local time, where she was drawn alongside Hodge, who broke the Commonwealth Games record in the semis.
Hodge stormed to gold in 22.07 seconds, but the customary hugs and embraces between competitors were absent.
