Controversy reigned again in the high jump at the Commonwealth Games as Julie Crane grabbed silver for Wales.

As with the men's event on Wednesday, controversy shrouded the final stages of the competition.

Crane aborted her last attempt at 1.91m as she approached the bar and ran back to her marker to prepare for another try.

However, officials appeared to rule Crane's shoulder had gone fractionally under the bar as she ran, and that was deemed to be her third failure at the height.

South Africa's Anika Smith, who had already cleared 1.91m and was also ahead of Crane on countback, took the gold.

"I'm really pleased with silver, but disappointed not to have had a final go at the final height," said Crane, 29.

"I ran up but I wasn't happy with the way I'd set it up so I ran round to go back for another go but the referee said my foot had gone over the line which counts as a foul. I don't know for sure if it was, it's disappointing.

"I knew if I jumped well I would be in with a shot so silver is great. But to not take my final attempt leaves me feeling I could have cleared it if I had the chance.

"The official's decision is final and there is nothing you can do about it, and that's the frustrating thing. Whether there is a legitimate case for protest it's too late in the day to carry on jumping."
