Pearson, the Olympic silver medalist from Australia, thought she had won the 100 last week but was disqualified hours after crossing the line first. Three days ago, officials had reviewed tape of the first attempt to start the race and ruled a false start.

This time, there was no question. She got off fast and led for the entire race, finishing in a Commonwealth Games record of 12.67 seconds at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium to win her first games gold medal. The previous mark of 12.70 was set by Gillian Russell of Jamaica in 1998 at Kuala Lumpur.

"It has been a horrible week because of the disqualification," Pearson said. "I am just relieved and I am just happy now. I did not even have to look, I just knew I had won the gold." Angela Whyte of Canada was second Monday in 12.98, and Andrea Miller took bronze in 13.25.

After Pearson was disqualified in the 100, Osayomi Oludamola was promoted to gold. But the Nigerian has failed a doping test and could lose the medal.

Hooker easily won his second straight Commonwealth Games title. The world champion cleared 5.50 in his first attempt, and then 5.60 on his next. Although Hooker missed at his first chance at 5.70, he'd still guaranteed himself gold.

He then made an attempt at a Commonwealth Games record 5.85, but he stopped his run before making a jump.

"I had the pressure on so I am very happy to get it done," said Hooker, who has struggled this year since winning the world indoor title in March.

"It was always going to be tough and I am very happy to get those two good jumps." Steven Lewis of England claimed silver with the same 5.60 height, and teammate Max Eaves took bronze with a jump of 5.40.

Cydonie Mothersill of the Cayman Islands won the women's 200, which had been scheduled for Sunday but was postponed because the Cypriot team protested the disqualification of sprinter Eleni Artymata. The appeal was denied Sunday night and Artymata did not race Monday.

"The officials made the decision (to postpone the race)," Mothersill said. "It was not my concern. I knew what I had to do and that was to finish on top of the podium." Mothersill pulled ahead early and was never in danger of being overtaken, winning in 22.89 seconds. Abiodun Oyepitan of England earned silver in 23.26 and Adrienne Power of Canada was third in 23.52.

India swept the medals in the women's discus, with Krishna Poonia winning with a toss of 61.51 meters. Harwant Kaur threw 60.16 for silver and Seema Antil was third with 58.46.

The men's steeplechase was another sweep, this time for Kenya.

Richard Mateelong won the race in 8:16.39, holding off world champion Ezekiel Kemboi, who finished in 8:18.47.

Kemboi beat him at last year's world's.

Olympic champion Brimin Kiprop Kipruto earned bronze in 8:19.65.

"We didn't have any plans," Kipruto said. "We just wanted to be 1-2-3." Nancy Jebet Langat added the 800 title to her 1,500 gold, winning in 2:00.01. Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand took silver in 2:00.05 and Diane Cummins of Canada was third in 2:00.13.

Moses Ndiema Kiosiro of Uganda also completed a double, surging at the bell and holding off a trio of Kenyans to add the 10,000 title to his 5,000 gold.

Kipsiro won in 27 minutes, 57:39 seconds. Daniel Lemashon Salel was second in 27:57:57 and Joseph Kiptoo Birech was third in 27:58:58.

India's hopes of boxing glory suffered a blow on Monday, as four of the country's seven semifinalists failed to win through to the finals on a day dominated by the British "home nations."

The biggest defeat came when England's Anthony Ogogo beat world No.1 and Olympic bronze medalist Vijender Singh in a bad-tempered middleweight bout.

Amandeep Singh (light flyweight), Jai Bhagwan (lightweight) and Dilbag Singh (welterweight) also crashed out, disappointing a noisy, partisan crowd at the Talkatora Indoor Stadium.

Ogogo's high-profile win had been billed as the battle between the sometime male model and former television reality show contestant and the sport's poster boy in India.

"He is like the Indian (David) Beckham, but I've been his Achilles heel. I've beaten him, I've toppled him and I can't believe it. I'm so happy," said the 21-year-old, who won few friends by blowing a kiss to the crowd afterwards.

"No disrespect to the Indian crowd. They've shown nothing but hospitality to us. I wasn't taking the Mickey. I blew a kiss because I wanted to thank them." Singh refused to speak to waiting reporters after the fight.

There was better news for India though when flyweight Suranjoy Mayengbam, light welterweight Manoj Kumar and super heavyweight Paramjeet Samota won through to Wednesday's final.

Mayengbam is favorite after victory in his bout against Pakistan's Haroon Khan, whose brother is the 2004 Olympic silver medalist Amir Khan.

The younger Khan, who was born in Britain, chose to fight for the country of his parents' birth after claiming he was snubbed by the England selectors.

"I think I've proved my point to the selectors. There wasn't a British boxer in my category (in the semifinals)," said the 19-year-old. "I would love to see (the selectors) now. I should have won that medal for England." "My main aim was to come here and stand on that podium. I've got the bronze. I can put it next to my brother's Olympic silver," added Khan, who fought under his grandmother's name Iqbal.

Northern Ireland was the outstanding team of the day after seeing all five of its boxers goes through, including European champion Paddy Barnes who now faces Namibia's Jafet Uutoni in the light flyweight final.

England is also guaranteed at least five silvers after Ogogo's win and victories for middleweight Bradley Saunders, heavyweight Simon Vallily, welterweight Callum Smith and lightweight Tom Stalker.

Scotland has two men in the finals, while young Wales bantamweight Sean McGoldrick made it through to the last two in his first senior tournament by beating the silver medalist from Melbourne in 2006, Louis Julie of Mauritius.

The 18-year-old from Newport, who faces Manju Wanniarachchi of Sri Lanka, said he should have been at school instead of in the ring.

"I'm sure the teachers will excuse me," he joked.

Wanniarachchi's appearance in the final comes after he secured the island nation its first Commonwealth boxing medal for 60 years on Sunday.

England's Saunders praised all the British finalists and said the Games were a key stepping stone to success at the London Olympics in 2012.

"We've got a brilliant team," he told reporters. "Callum Smith is a sure winner. Tom Stalker showed what he had to do... The lads are doing fantastic. We could have had another one here with Khalid Yafai." Yafai, 21, is a former Commonwealth Youth Games medalist and fought at the last Olympics with Saunders. He had to withdraw due to injury.
