Good afternoon, Hayley here live with the giant puppets taking over a | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
city on the way, plus your amazing versions of Let it Go from Frozen. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
But let's start with the big news this afternoon. | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
One of the top athletes at the Commonwealth Games is out | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
of the competition after failing a drugs test. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Rhys Williams is co-captain of Team Wales and was a strong medal | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
But earlier today it was announced he'll miss the games after testing | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
He says he's devastated and says he didn't take anything | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
This was the reaction of Wales' most successful paralympian. | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
I was genuinely shocked when I heard about it. You are not always | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
surprised when athletes are named but with him I was. It is really | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
difficult to say if it is something, if it was performance | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
enhancing, or if he just did something really stupid and he took | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
a cold remedy or something he should not have done. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
More on that to come as it develops, but back to the action and there's | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
22 medals up for grabs in Glasgow today, including the bowls. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
You might think it's a sport more suited to your grandparents but it's | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
starting to get a new army of young fans, as Leah's been finding out. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
If you thought bowls was just a sport played | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
With over 900 clubs in Scotland and many more across the UK there's | :01:34. | :01:46. | |
a thriving junior section that's got lots of children very excited. | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
I play because it is very calm. It is a unique sport. It is not given | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
enough credit because it builds up concentration. People do not really | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
think about it. Killer The North British Bowls club in | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Shettleston in Glasgow was founded almost 100 years ago and it's | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
youngest member is Josh, just six. macro -- I enjoy it. I like it | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
because my dad does as well. Although Josh is a fan freshening up | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
the image of Bowls has proved quite a challenge but it's something | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Australia seems to have cracked. Clubs there have relaxed | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
their rules on membership and dress code to attract younger | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
people and many play bare foot. The people you'll see competing | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
at the Games might still be But with some rare TV exposure, | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
and a new army of young bowlers coming through, that could all | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
change in the future. I switch on the television and I | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
think that could be me when I am older if I practice. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
Next to the 20 foot tall puppets taking over a city. | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
This young girl, her dog and her grandma have been | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
