NEW DELHI - Canada picked up three track and field medals Monday as Aussie Sally Pearson finally got her Commonwealth Games gold, and Olympic pole vault champion Steve Hooker added another to his collection.

Angela Whyte of Edmonton finished second to Pearson in the women's 100-metre hurdles, while Adrienne Power of Halifax won bronze in the 200 and Diane Cummins of Victoria was third in the 800.

Cummins made a late move in the final 100 metres to vault herself onto the podium, and was lamenting that she couldn't get her charge started earlier.

"It was tough. I was boxed in, I could not move and could not change lanes," she said. "I was forced to stay at the back.

"When I was fourth, I said to myself 'One more person.' If I had two more metres I could have got silver. Too bad it is not the 802 metres."

Pearson, the Olympic silver medallist from Australia, was able to ease some laments of her own. She 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 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."

Whyte was second in 12.98 while Andrea Miller of New Zealand took bronze in 13.25.

"I struggled a bit but I am on my way back," said Whyte. "My starts have been really good but it's all about rhythm and I don't have the exact feeling yet."

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.

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.

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 with Power third in 23.52.

"It wasn't awesome," Power said of the postponement. "I was ready to go. If I ran (Sunday) night, it might have been silver or gold. ...

"It's what you can do on this track. I am extremely excited and grateful. The old Adrienne Power would have killed the curve and died off. I am happy to be able to finally run my own race, whoever I am competing against."

Hooker easily won his second straight Commonwealth Games title. The world champion cleared 5.50 metres 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.

Steven Lewis of England claimed silver with the same 5.60 height, and teammate Max Eaves took bronze with a jump of 5.40. Jason Wurster of Toronto was seventh at 5.25.

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 Cummins was third in 2:00.13.

India swept the medals in the women's discus, with Krishna Poonia winning with a toss of 61.51 metres. 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."

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.
