Creating event specific data capturing with XPATHs #1

Currently the Toplists .py file for Aus female rank in commonwealth can run the first event successfully and print to text file. Then it successfully jumps to the next event in the event list (which is 200m) however. because the table data is displayed differently on world athletics the data is pulled from different XPATHs than the paths working for 100m.

[x] Create a Def(): function for each event with unique XPATHs that locate the correct figures in the table row for that event.

Not using Def functions now rather 2 IF statement to seperate events into groups. These groups contain different XPATHs to pull data to txt
