AARON Wilson has only one regret after becoming the first lawn bowler in forty-four years to win consecutive men’s singles gold medals at the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

“I wish I had a better rig, but that’s life,” Wilson said after ripping off his shirt and jumping for joy in a repeat of his celebrations on the Gold Coast four years.<\/p>\n

“That body has been well seasoned.”<\/p>\n

A Bendigo Bowling Club product, Wilson trounced Northern Island’s Garry Kelly 21-3 in a Saturday’s singles final, and if lawn bowls can be brutal, this was it.<\/p>\n

Wilson raced to a 12-0 lead on route to becoming the first man since England’s David Bryant to snare consecutive singles golds.<\/p>\n

Bryant won the last of his four successive titles in 1978.<\/p>\n

Wilson delivered Australia’s second lawn bowls gold of the day, following the earlier success of Ellen Ryan and Kristina Krstic in the women’s pairs.<\/p>\n
