BBC One: Day 8: 19:00-22:00 Commonwealth Games

The pressure is on at a home Games and it can be too much at times, ask

Michael James. Gold to Scotland!

And sometimes it can be embraced. Jessica Ennis is the Olympic

champion. This man surely is not human.

Johnson, Freeman, Jessica Ennis, they all delivered. So the question

tonight is, can the poster girl of these Games strike Gold for

Scotland? A wee child being brought by this

Hampden Park crowd. -- a wee child. A nation is watching and hoping. It

is a once in a lifetime moment for the 27-year-old from Perth. Eilidh

Child. She could become the first Scottish track Gold medallist since

1994. She has been the female face of the Games and Hampden Park would

ring out for a long time if she were to win.

Welcome to one of the most anticipated evenings in Glasgow on

the 20th Commonwealth Games. A host could have another night to remember

but it will not be easy for Eilidh Child, she needs a personal best and

there is no better time or place. But there are other stars also.

To make a's K Rees Spencer is favourite for the 400 metre hurdles.

-- Jamaica's Spencer. Shara Proctor is the British long

jump record holder and she will race for England's tonight.

-- England. It is the men and women's 200 metres final with a

Nigerian hunting a sprint double. Olympic champion and world

record-holder David Rudisha is favourite for 800 metres.

Botswana's Nigel a mass -- Nigel Amos, could he do it this year in

the race of the Games? That is Hampden Park. We will go

there shortly. Before we do, we can check on some of today's headlines.

Max Whitlock got his first -- third gymnastics Gold for England after

his incredible routine. Scotland's Daniel Keatings got Gold

on the pommelhorse, his country's 14th of the Games. Another medal for

Max Whitlock, silver, and Louis Smith got the bronze.

England's Alex Dowsett got Gold in cycling. Geraint Thomas of Wales got

bronze. And England's Emma Pooley got silver.

Golden success not that long ago for England's Vicky Downey in the bars,

and also Claudia Fragapane. -- Becky Downie. Hopefully we will see more

tonight. Live athletics on BBC One. And three, there is diving with the

conclusion of the three-metre springboard. And the women's

platform. We will show you that later.

To Hampden Park, for what could be a thriller of a Thursday. Nine Gold

medals up for grabs. What a great race the Scotsman is

having. And he has done it. Well done, Guy Learmonth.

Doesn't she look wonderful? Showing us and the rest of the

competitors what she can do, Shelly Woods.

Eilidh Child, the poster girl of the Games.

It is a wet Hampden Park this evening, not that that is dampening

the enthusiasm of this incredible crowd who are showing their support

for these athletes, and we have had a fabulous 200 metres semifinal.

You will see the finals later. The English women did very well indeed.

And we will have the 800 metres semifinals. But we do have this

evening some big moments, we hope, on the track. Not least, Eilidh

Child, who is going on that 400 metre hurdles. These are for hourly!

They are more power alley the rest but this crowd will be right behind

her and I cannot wait for that race. The stadium has been

her and I cannot wait for that race. atmosphere is great but it will come

alive when she steps out. We have been together for a couple

of hours but Michael, Paula and Tanni Grey-Thompson, what will they

make of these conditions? It Tanni Grey-Thompson, what will they

One. What rubber they have, is dependent on tyres. Like Formula

change the sprinting. great racing tonight.

For the sprinters, it did not affect their time is much in the

semifinals. The later they go on, the wetter it gets, it will affect

times. It may hamper times. But you are not

out very long. Sprinters should not be complaining! But the warm up is

the thing is, that is really important. That is the only bit of

cofactor. Let's bring you up to speed with the

women's 800 metres semifinals. The men's with David Rudisha, got. This

is how the women got on. -- coming up.

great response. Lynsey Sharp in a difficult position. Sum controlling

this event. 58.8, that is witty decent -- pretty decent. Lynsey

Sharp waiting. Has Jenny Meadows got back to form? If so, she would be a

contender. Down the back straight, this will unfold. This is Jenny

Meadows. Lynsey Sharp is in trouble. Her face is in pain. Jenny Meadows

looks comfortable, moving round the outside. And Canadian Melissa

Bishop. Three will go through. Smith of New Zealand making

struggling. -- making a recovery. Sum in front. Jenny Meadows, militia

Bishop -- Melissa Bishop. Sum is front. Three of them will go through

and it will be Sum and Melissa Bishop. Lynsey Sharp, it is not to

be for her on her home stage. The top three will go through and

the two fastest losers. Lynsey Sharp and Jenny Meadows. Five women could

go through if they get inside the time. They know what they need to do

but is anybody brave enough to take the pace out? There five places in

seven of these women have wrapped -- have run faster than the

seven of these women have wrapped -- they know the tactics. They need a

strong race. They have set off with a reasonable

strong race. They have set off with seconds. The crowd cheering. Jessica

Judd on the outside, the young and inexperienced athlete with so much

talent. On the home straight, Jessica Judd is taking over already.

Settling down and looking good. It is a slow first lap. 60.76.

Jessica Judd realising it is time to take decisive action and she goes to

the front. McGowan of Australia moves up. Emily Dudgeon is

accelerating. The crowd have come with their flags. Jessica Judd is

leading. Emily Dudgeon in second place. The top three is important.

The Ugandan trying to hold it. Nicky Hamblin makes a nice move. Jessica

Judd and Emily Dudgeon in the front for England and Scotland, at Hampden

Park, Jessica Judd kicks away. She looks strong to me, Jessica Judd.

She is going to qualify. It will be tight. She is going to make it. And

unfortunately, despite a marvellous effort by Emily Dudgeon, she holds

her head in her hands because as she looks at the clock, she knows for

the place will not be good enough. The first heat was quicker. Well

done, Jessica Judd, well-controlled and smart move. She was confident

and she did everything she had to do to get through.

Nicky Hamblin got through. That fourth place with that time is bad

news for Emily Dudgeon, she ran a brave race. The first semifinal was

quicker and the bad news for her is good news for Lynsey Sharp and Jenny

Meadows because they will go through as the two fastest losers to

tomorrow's final. Let's talk about Jessica Judd and

how she attacked that. No way she was leaving anything to chance. She

took that on full throttle. I was nervous to see how she went today. I

was concerned in the heats. She looked at it tired. Is boat ahead

yesterday and sometimes you expect the heat to be easy and you do not

feel good and it is worrying, but she looked better and in control

today. That is how I like to see running, confidently. You have a

relationship as a mental with her. Passing on your wisdom. -- men tour.

Somebody to talk to. You cannot underestimate how an athlete finds

this. She burst onto the scene last year and she went to the World

Championships but she is new to this and it is only a year since she

became a senior. It is coping with those expectations.

It is, and it is going into the race. She is a tall as elite and she

rolls a lot still. -- athlete. She has to strengthen her core. When she

runs how she naturally runs, she attacks the race from the front, she

is much more successful. She seems happier and more at ease. Nicky

Hamblin from New Zealand judged that perfectly. A shame for Emily but

good news for Lynsey Sharp. Lynsey Sharp in the first race, down

the back straight, she did not have the extra gears. You could see the

panic. But she held it together and what she did which counted was she

fought. She remembered the fastest losers spot is up for grabs and you

need to keep working. You might be disappointed but you keep working.

And this race changed a lot in the last 50 metres. She came through

very strongly. Lynsey Sharp kept working through the line. And a good

runner for the Northern Ireland athlete who ran a personal best. She

will go away pleased. Sum is the class act in the field.

She is, certainly, she is the number one so far this year and they will

aim for her in the final. Hopefully, it might not be quite as

wet as it is now, it is bouncing. We have not seen it like this at

Hampden Park so hopefully normal service will resume. We have already

had the men's discus final. Steve Backley will tell you how that went.

unfold. Gowda's third throw. It was enough to win. The heavens opened in

the last round and made it difficult for anyone to challenge the lead

from Gowda. Superb win. Second voyage to go. -- four years ago.

There is the confirmation. Disappointment for Brett Morse. He

was in fourth position. Benn Harradine, who won this

Disappointment for Brett Morse. He was in fourth competition four years

ago just went ahead of him. There are the minor places of what was a

difficult competition. It was wet and it made the distances probably

reflect that. We are building up towards the

women's 1500 metres. Shelly Woods is the world record-holder. She has

tough opposition. Diane Roy of Canada is the defending Commonwealth

Games champion. Canada is the defending Commonwealth

do you see her as her arrival? She has a lot of experience. The weather

conditions are going to make it more tactical. They are starting off the

track and they have asked to start in a straight line rather than

starting on the bend. The weather conditions do mean it will be

slippy. It is unusual to see them start this far out. Shelly Woods has

started to train with David Weir. Have you seen a change in her racing

and attitude? It has been tough. The coach who

and attitude? It has been tough. took her to the world record, they

split up not took her to the world record, they

through different variations. She needs to learn sprint starts and

come through strongly at the end. It is a lot of travelling to David

Weir, but I think we will see the benefits of that.

Angela Ballard from Australia. Paralympic medallist. Really good

home interest. Lauren Rowles of England. We have already seen Sammy

Kinghorn. It is throwing it down. Christie Dawes will be a threat, the

Australian. Third in the Paralympic games in London in the 5000 metres.

I am sure there will be cheering for the athletes on the inside. Shelly

Woods, about to be introduced. T53 is completely paralysed

Woods, about to be introduced. T53 waist down. Jade Jones. Tanni

Grey-Thompson has been guiding Jade Jones threw her career. We have not

mentioned Diane Roy, the defending champion. 43 years of age now from

Canada. Tricky conditions. Shelly Woods moving out a little bit. Diane

Roy will be on the outside. Sammy Kinghorn, interesting story.

Terrible accident. Snow fell on the roof as she was out clearing snow.

Paralysed at the age of 14, took up wheelchair racing and is now

representing her country just four years later. She will be loving

this, but not loving the conditions. Shelly Woods a little bit

this, but not loving the conditions. back, Tanni? You can see how much

water is on the track and how much spray is coming up into Christie

Dawes' face. You get spray from the front wheels and the back wheels.

The weather forecast did say it with the raining, but a lot of the women

would be hoping it would be tried to stop the rot but they use on the

pushing rims and gloves, on the first couple of pushes, it makes it

hard to kick and to push. This race is about who will have the most grip

in these conditions. Shelly Woods towards the back on the outside.

Sammy Kinghorn towards the back as well. Diane Roy is looking to see

what is happening behind. Christie Dawes and Angie Ballard of

Australia. Jade Jones just looking for work Shelly Woods is placing

herself as they come round now with two laps to go. Nobody really trying

to push away in these tricky conditions. Diane Roy is controlling

it at a moment, is that where you think she should be, Tanni? She is

in the perfect position to control it. By the time the sprint kicks to

the back of the pack, it is a bit like bike racing, it is almost too

late. Shelly Woods has come really wide but is trying to stay out of

trouble. Jade Jones does not want to be caught in the middle of the pack.

Christie Dawes is sitting on Diane Roy's shoulder. She won the bronze

medal in Beijing. It is so hard for these women right now. They are all

watching each other. It will be about who is brave. Roy is making it

harder on the rest of the pack. Coming round to take the belt.

Shelly Woods still a long way back. Jade Jones is in the best position

at the moment. -- Bell. Roy from the front is pushing hard. Shelly Woods

is a long way off the pace. It is Angie Ballard who is behind the

Canadian. Down the back straight and they are spread out as Roy has

pushed on from the front and stretched them out. Jade Jones into

third place. Still has an opportunity. Roy at the front, the

veteran. Sitting behind her is Angie Ballard of Australia. Maybe Jade

Jones can find something extra. Angie Ballard moves out, has she got

the pace at the end? The Australian might do it. It is going to be the

gold medal for Australia. Roy settles but the silver and an

excellent bronze the Jade Jones. 3.59, the winning time. It was about

being patients, conditions. Roy did so much of the work. Shelly Woods

will be so disappointed with her performance. Never in it and never

close enough. When it got going, Jones was just about in the right

spot. Did not have the power of the other two ahead of her, but she is

only 18 years of age. Gold medal that Angela Ballard of Australia.

Tanni you must be proud of Jade Jones? Just for a moment you thought

she might be close enough to get this? She was finishing really

strongly but did not have this? She was finishing really

response when the kick was made. Smart racing bike Angela Ballard.

She is actually a T53 athletes so does not have stomach muscles or

lower back. But sat behind Roy and waited for the final sprint. There

will be a lot of surprised women, I don't think many people thought

Angela Ballard was going to win this race. She is just behind Roy. Pulls

out with perfect timing. Once you get level, you know you are going

faster. Roy just has nothing left to give. She looks up and she shakes

her head. She is done. Roy, was the one who tried to control it from the

front but ran out of steam at the end. Not enough power. Angela

Ballard, head down and pushing hard. Jade Jones, all the way to the

and surely there will be more to come from her as her career

develops. Perfect timing. Shake up the head from Roy. Let's talk to the

bronze-medallist. Jade Jones. Age of 18, this is meant to be a

building block and here you are with a bronze medal! It is my first

senior medal and it's great to do it in front of a home crowd. How

difficult weather conditions? The rain effects is a lot. But I pushed

quite well in the rain. When did you realise and medal was within your

grasp? I didn't until I crossed the line. I just going for the line. It

does not really line. I just going for the line.

sink in. With it all going on and the noise, you can hear the

cacophony of noise, what will you thinking? It follows you around the

stadium and keeps you going. Are you able to stay focused in that

environment? It is difficult but you can focus. It is good to have

environment? It is difficult but that support, you never really get

environment? It is difficult but that in Paralympic events. It is

amazing. Here you go with the bronze medal. We know you have so much

potential, but as you said the other day, it is usually your late 20s

when you are taking? Yes, it is a great building block for me to

progress from. It is good to know I am progressing. Fantastic

performance. Congratulations again. Thank you so much. Indeed, it has

been good games for the north-east. Jade Jones of Middlesbrough, bronze

medal. Time is not so important in these conditions. Diane Roy, of

Canada with a silver medal. We can add a bit of Wales into that medal.

You have a huge vested interest there as a coach. It is painful. I

was more nervous before the race than they were. I felt I was pushing

every single push with her. My heart rate was up. I am really proud of

her. She had a smart, tactical race. It is a big step up. Roy has been

racing for a lot of years, Ballard, champion back in 2002. She has never

lived up to that really. But it is tough when you are sitting here

trying to do an objective commentary when you are so close to one of the

races. You achieved it and you achieved that level with her as

well. Her and his lesson and delight is seeping through the screen. The

women's long jump final tonight, Shara Proctor on paper certainly the

strongest in the field. COMMENTATOR: Medals on paper is one

thing that we need to convert and Shara Proctor, forever this is an

opportunity. Here is your start list for the long jump final and in the

middle of that is Shara Proctor. Jazmin Sawyers is joining her,

another English jumper. But look at the Nettey. -- look out for

another English jumper. But look at Here is the first jump of that 23

rolled, Christabel Nettey. She handled that well. Very

difficult conditions. We will confirm her distance,

Christabel Nettey. It was about 6.5 metres. Shara Proctor's first

attempt. No, no, no. Oh, dear. Shara Proctor has pulled up with what

looks like something down the left leg. Didn't give any indication is

there other than maybe wearing the long tights. Oh, my word. Is

something called? Haven't heard any word of any injuries. She is

favourite on paper. She leads the rankings six metres and 82. The

front of her left side. Quadricep, hip flexed... No, no. Desperately

disappointing. A golden opportunity slips through the hands of Shara

Proctor. She will be desperately

disappointed. She has gone out without even a jump for this

Commonwealth Games. She has her head in her hands. Six in the World

Championships last year. We were going to have a chat about how she

coped with the big environment of these Games because she does not

necessarily deliver the distances she can do at the one-off heats, but

she hasn't even had the opportunity. Michael. Yes, really difficult for

her. To come here and compete and not progress is one thing, but

injuries are a part of the sport, but they are so, so difficult. As

Steve said, it looks even like a hip flexed or quadricep injury and it

looks like something that may be with the long tights on, she felt

something in warm up, not enough to pull out but knowing maybe it was

there. She looked a bit timid as she took off down the runway initially.

Really disappointing. Things can happen on the warm up track and if

it is not a Olympics or Commonwealth Games, she might pull out, but you

put your body on the line and train for it and this is the moment of

your season. Obviously, she sees I did -- decided to go ahead. Yes, in

warm up you are just warming your body up, not going full blast. You

have to go full blast to know if it is really an injury or not. These

conditions do not help. Much more difficult to warm up, because it is

cool and damp. There he is, David Weir, and his CV is just ridiculous.

Six Olympic gold medals. Six marathon wins. The man can go over a

wide range of distances. It is the T54 1500m tonight. The rain is

abating somewhat. I first met David Weir when he was seven years old, a

skinny little kid. He has always had a lovely technique. He did not have

to learn it, he just did it. I was with him in Atlanta when he was 16.

I went all his races with him. He was kind of nervous and I was the

one who held his hand. After Athens he'd had enough. He was disappointed

and went off and did other things. You are too modest. You are the

reason he came back. He saw you and decided, I want a piece of that. I

kept telling him he was talented and he did not believe me. It took him

until Athens to realise that he could do it. And he has just been

dominant ever since. He has a really good coaching partnership with Jenny

Archer. They work so well together. He's very selective in the races he

does. He does. He's under a lot of pressure. In Beijing he was the only

gold medallist, which was really hard to deal with. A lot of time

David Weir tonight. A fabulous ambassador for his sport. Fingers

crossed for him. Let head to Andrew Cotter.

COMMENTATOR: The rain has eased off. The Kenyan we see is one of ten

athletes to contest this vinyl. Richard Coleman is actually a T 53.

The only tea 53 in this race dominated by T54s listen to this.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I wonder how he will judge this and raise it.

A cheer as well for young Will Smith. He does so much to bring

young para athletes through. Josh Cassidy may be a threat to David

Weir. Tucked himself in behind Weir in the heat to come through. Richard

Nicholson, as we said, one of three Australians.

The defending Commonwealth champion. He was the quickest

qualifier, Rick his own games record in qualifying. They are very

tactical races. He was involved in a slower hit, David Weir. -- slower

hit. Three and three quarters lapse of this soggy hand on track, but the

rain has abated and the noise will grow for all of these men. David

Weir having a little look across. I wonder how he will race this. He won

at Paris in the Diamond league meeting. He stormed forward from the

back. He was testing his speed. He has a wonderful change of speed. At

Glasgow here in the Diamond league a couple of weeks ago he did it more

conventionally. He eased his way through. I think that might be the

approach this evening. Nobody seems to want to spend too much time in

Lane 1. I think it is because it is very wet out there and it can make

it challenging to push. But Kurt firmly having a look on his outside,

checking his there. He does not want to allow anyone to jump into Lane 1.

Yesterday I saw him and asked about his tactics are today. I think Kurt

has always been a bit disappointed that there are not more of the male

athletes that want to take the race to Dave, because he has such a

devastating take on the sprint. You cannot leave it to the end. In

London he was asking for help and no one would help him. I do not think

there will be one would help him. I do not think

the Australians but it is whether British Olympians might sacrifice a

place also just to try to get in the way between David Weir. But you can

see on the outside now, Dave has decided he does not want to be

caught behind anybody. Josh Cassidy out in the front at the moment. His

fair dollar partner would have been a favourite for the women's 1500m at

she developed a deep vein thrombosis on the way to the country so she was

unable to compete. Will Smith as well, and the far more experienced

David Weir. He's settling in, slowing down a bit. I mentioned this

turn of speed slowing down a bit. I mentioned this

He really can turn it on. He has won at all distances. Cassidy in second

place. at all distances. Cassidy in second

outside for Australian, at all distances. Cassidy in second

Australia, so two Australians out there. David Weir has not started to

pick up the pace too much. He is now putting in a bit more effort. You

can see his hand spin is fantastic. Kurt will try to come in behind

can see his hand spin is fantastic. but at that speed it will be

difficult. A masterpiece of but at that speed it will be

the roar of the crowd fit him at the Olympic stadium, now you hear it at

Hampden Park. David Weir is Commonwealth champion. Second goes

to Fearnley. What a victory, six cup medals at Paralympics. Six times a

winner of the London Marathon. And to add to that glorious freckles,

now common wealth games champion in the 1500m. He made it look so easy.

-- that glorious record, now Commonwealth Games champion.

Normally a few days before races, David will say he does not feel well

and he normally has problems. Coming into this race, he has been fine. An

incredible race by David Weir. He was leaving it until this season, I

think, to decide whether he will carry on to rear. A fifth place of

Will Smith there. I think the Swiss athlete who will be racing against

him in the European Championships in Swansea next month is the closest

David Weir has two a great rival. They were racing together a few

weeks ago. I think they have virtually the same top speed. It

depends who will go out hard and he will be able to control from the

front. Looking at the shape David Weir is in tonight, it will be

really hard to say who will beat him. Where does this come from, this

change in speed? He has always just had it. He has always had tremendous

hand speed, great position in the chair. He spent a

hand speed, great position in the working on the aerodynamics and

making sure his chair fits him as best as it can. He does not use

plastic gloves, but suede and leather. That allows him to change

his hand position, grip the wheel when it is wet and use the best kind

of glue. There are not many races at this level where you can beat the

Australians and Canadians. Interesting you were talking about

the softer gloves, and the other athletes cannot hear David Weir

coming with those. With the harder clothes you can hear the tap. But I

do not think anyone would have heard anything with the noise of the

crowd. A very happy David Weir. The Golden

set is yours. It is a nice feeling. It was in the back of my mind after

2012, should I carry on? This is why I carried on. I did not want to not

represent England or win a gold medal here. It feels like London. So

many English flags. The Scottish and Welsh here. The Home Nations have

been great. You are getting better with age. Faster. A bit faster. I

was worried about the weather because the manufacture of my

clothes do not make them any more. I have been trying a lot of different

stuff and it has not been working in the rain. I prayed I

stuff and it has not been working in the rain. I prayed would be all

right for the sprint at the end, which I was. Tell everyone at home

how difficult it is compared to a dry race. It is so difficult. We

have contact on the rims and you get spray from the wheels. That is why I

was going wide in parts, because there were puddles. You try to stay

dry as long as possible. I have to got to find the right proper

material to work in the rain, but I went anyway, so... You executed it

perfectly. Congratulations. He will go on to win many more, I am sure

that he is the Commonwealth go on to win many more, I am sure

that Games champion. They loved him here tonight. So to confirm the

result: Another fabulous David Weir

performance. The most exciting thing is, you get the sense his excitement

is renewed and we will get to see him competing at Rio? He has the

ability to win another four gold medals. He deserves it because he is

an amazing athlete. The next race on the track is the men's 800 metres.

David Rudisha putting in an appearance. Who better to build this

one up than Michael Johnson. Here at the Commonwealth Games, the stars of

the track have taken centre stage. Kirani James is going to take the

bronze medal. We have heard Hampden Park raw and witness some

world-class victories. The gold goes to Jamaica once more. But tonight,

speed meets endurance over two laps of the track. 100 seconds, the eight

and would meet a world record and the man responsible for it will be

striving for the gold medal again. David Rudisha. Unbelievable. But

this time, it may not come without a fight. Nigel Amos. The powerhouses

are getting ready to do battle. Prepare yourself for a night of

fears competition. Well, that night is very much under

way and this should be one of the jewels in the crown. But he might

not get it all his own way. Amos has surpassed him in winning a global

title and he is the man in form but David Rudisha is still coming back?

David Rudisha has continued to improve to this point. It will be a

big test, Paula? It'll be an improve to this point. It will be a

interesting race. He does not need any pacemakers. Be interesting to

see if Andre Olivier will give any help to nice. The Commonwealth Games

championship record is still held held by Steve Cram, set 28 years ago

in Edinburgh. I am not sure anybody will break that record win it by a

distance, what do you think? Maybe Brendan should dance about. It is

not dissimilar day, it is a bit wet. It was in Edinburgh all those years

ago. That was a great race. No wonder that time still is lands, you

were in fantastic form. David Rudisha may have a go at your

record. He may or may not have a go. That is Ferguson Rotich. Andre

Olivier, training partner of Amos. We had a lane redraw because of a

disqualification. We had a lane redraw because of a

injury last year as well, both missed the world Championships.

David Rudisha on the comeback trail. He is absolutely a legend already.

Can he win the Commonwealth title? Jeffrey Riseley was advanced into

this final. Michael Rimmer came through as the fastest loser. Has

been struggling with injuries. But not this man, Guy Learmonth. Raised

the roof almost off Hampden Park when he qualified yesterday. Talking

to David Rudisha's team, they said the weather will be a factor. He

does not like it, but it does that matter because he only has one way

to run. He will stick with his game plan and will want to try to run

away from Amos. plan and will want to try to run

nuances. He has got to judge this right. The men's 800-metre final.

David Rudisha, it has right. The men's 800-metre final.

wait to get himself back into right. The men's 800-metre final.

form, the form he hopes will see him run to this title. He is a free

running, front running legends of middle-distance running already.

David Rudisha goes to middle-distance running already.

expect him to be. David Rudisha trying to control this race as he

did in London. But in London he was fit and committed. He was so

powerful. Tonight, it is different, he has had an injury. Tonight, a

proud Maasai warrior needs different weapons. He needs to be more

controlled, needs to be more aware and be brave and determined when he

comes under pressure. In London he did not come under pressure, but

tonight we expect Amos to put him under pressure. Now he has to

respond. His team-mate, Ferguson Rotich moved from the back. He is

working hard. Amos in a good place. Andre Olivier, the tall South

African. David Rudisha is coming under pressure. But now he starts to

kick from the front. Amos is all over the place. Moves out wide. Now

he gives chase. Amos is going to take the gold medal. Amos wins it.

David Rudisha second. Andre Olivier might have just got the bronze

medal. He tried his normal game plan, but it wasn't hard or quick

enough. The only one who could beat him was himself. He got into a

terrible place on the long straights, extricated himself. Nigel

injury last year. He knows David Rudisha very well now. He followed

him in the Olympic games. They have picked up medals. Andre Olivier has

been confirmed in the bronze medal. Look at what that means to Amos.

That was not the David Rudisha of London 2012. I am not sure running

52.7 was going to give him a good chance given how well Amos has been

going? We knew he would come under pressure tonight, we knew he would

have two show a different performance. He loves to run at the

front. He wasn't going to change that, but at the end of the day,

David Rudisha, gave the best he could. He has been injured. This man

was always going to be a danger. Here they come to the bell. David

Rudisha looks strong but is not doing enough. Not testing Amos. On

the outside, his team-mate comes close. But David Rudisha down the

back straight, he is joined by his team-mate. Lengthening his stride.

On the outside, Andre Olivier, the training partner of Amos. It looked

as though Amos was going to be trapped. David Rudisha starts to

kick. Amos did not look comfortable. Ferguson Rotich is trying to protect

David Rudisha. Looks as though he might have had a chance, David

Rudisha. Amos comes through, determined to beat the great man. At

the end of the day, Amos, the Olympic silver-medallist becomes the

Commonwealth champion. David Rudisha proves he is only human. This is

David Rudisha trying to sprint. He normally tries to sprint in a faster

pace. Amos is eating up the yards. David Rudisha was under pressure. I

think he did well, David Rudisha, to come and run a fine race. He is only

human. He wasn't able to do it tonight because he wasn't fit

enough. Who knows, in a year's time? Amos up what swan are showing

his polite and glory. And for him to be the athlete -- beat the athlete

he admires so much. And with his team-mate in the bronze medal

position, he will be thrilled. It was a great performance against a

great athlete and I am delighted David Rudisha came here and gave us

a race to remember. He is a huge talents, like David Rudisha. And

unlike two years ago, Amos comes out on top. David Rudisha of Kenya has

to settle for the silver medal. Andre Olivier, the training partner

of Nijel Amos, takes the bronze medal. Michael Rimmer was seventh.

STUDIO: For David Rudisha to take it on and comeback from injury, David

Rudisha has stepped up a bit more? It was an interesting race. It was

like watching two teams working together in the form of Andre

Olivier and Amos. Ferguson Rotich was trying to block Amos in there.

Andre Olivier now coming up on his shoulder. At this point he has the

opportunity to move forward and he would have blocked Amos in there. As

they come off the bend, Andre Olivier goes wider than he needs

to. Amos has David Rudisha and the finishing line in his sights. David

Rudisha, you can see the resignation because he knows there is nothing

left in his legs. He did everything right in that race, but not in the

shape we have seen him in in previous years. He is trying to

raise himself into shape. He came close, but came up against an

athlete who was a little bit more hungry. A bit closer than we saw in

Monaco. But you sense in a couple of months he will be in better shape.

Great Andre Olivier eight got the bronze medal because of the teamwork

and the wonderful reaction from Amos as well. That's head down to Phil

Jones. David, tremendous race between you

and Nijel. We always expected it might be. But I think this crowd

wanted you to get the gold medal, but in the end it was silver? It was

awesome. The crowd was fantastic. The race was good. I found it a

little bit difficult but I think it was because I did not have good

preparation. Tell me about your approach, knowing Nijel was in there

and how competitive he is? We have been racing together and he is a

tough guy. We ran a tactical race. He was good tonight. You know this

man well. You have a great deal of respect each other, Nijel and

congratulations. This gentleman here, he will always be my hero. He

is brave enough. You gave us some great entertainment, congratulations

on your gold medal and you'll silver medal and I hope you treasure the

memories from here. Thank you very much. It is a great place. Even my

training partner came third. Thank you very much. STUDIO: Desperate

scenes on the far side of the stadium. That is the sad face of

Shara Proctor, because you may have seen, she took to her first attempt

only to pull up holding her left leg. Oh, terrible. She came in is

probably favourite. The English athlete desperately wanted to make

her mark, and thought that gold might just be a few jumps away, but

not to be. Meanwhile, that long jump final continues. This is the second

attempt of Christabel Nettey. We saw her jump 6.47 in the first round, to

take the lead. The yellow line there is her only of

6.47, the same distance she jumped in qualification.

Her season's best is 6.73. Her coach offers words of advice. Slightly

improved, by two centimetres. Jazmin Sawyers is looking to some support.

Well, that looks good. She looks pleased enough. Young Jazmin

Sawyers, 20 years of age. This pleased enough. Young Jazmin

just the sort of competition to get her used to what is an important

part of Championship progression. A world junior bronze medallist. A

season's best of 6.47. Well done, Jazmin. Second place. So here we

have Ese Brume of Nigeria. 21 That was high off the board. Was it

good? It looks as though it might have taken the lead if it's illegal.

, yes, it is. Very little form to talk about, but

a lifetime best for Ese Brume, to take the lead in the third round of

the halfway stage. Desperately sorry for Shara Proctor.

The last races on the track tonight are the men's and women's 200m. But

first a child in the 400m hurdles. -- Hayley Child. Let's see you had

the final line-up was made up. -- let's show you how the final

line-up was made up. COMMENTATOR: Jodie Williams takes

second behind Blessing Okagbare. 22.43.

COMMENTATOR: The Canadian started quickly in Lane 3. But it is Calvert

of Jamaica. Williams off to a decent start

Henry outside her just around the bend. Davies of Canada running well.

Bianca Williams looking comfortable. Very impressive. 23.17.

So these of the qualifiers for the women's 200m final. Blessing

Okagbare a strong favourite. Good run, though, from Jodie Williams. A

little bit slower off the blocks. Well, well, well. Livermore, Bailey

and Talbot in a photo finish. It is Danny Talbot. 20.47.

Avril from the crowd. -- the crowd roars.

It is all about prior. -- Bryan. After all of that, this is how they

will line up later on. The three Jamaicans, the big threats, three,

four and five. A little later tonight we have the women's final as

well. A quick line about the lane draws.

When the women's ways Jodie Williams is on the outside of blessing

Okagbare. Is that good? I preferred that she would be on the inside. She

is competing as if she is a little bit inexperienced even though she

has extensive experience at a junior level. I would prefer she was

inside. Of the English girls left, best chance? Jodie. That was almost

a personal best she ran in the semifinal. Just a few hundreds of a

second off a personal best. I think she will run a personal best and has

a very good chance of a silver. 8:45pm for the women, 9:10pm for the

men. Let's look at long jump. COMMENTATOR: I feel compelled to

mention Katherine Thompson, at the top of the rankings, he would have

loved to have been a part of this. -- Johnson-Thompson, who would have

loved to have been part of this. Maybe as a result of the wet

weather... Another solid performance for the

21-year-old. 6.56 in the third round. Already in the lead. Enjoying

herself. Maybe a slight improvement. Marginal if that. Crucial to get

advice from the coach. 6.50 that one, so no improvement from Brume.

The men's 400m hurdles if coming first, then the women's. It features

the poster girl for the Commonwealth Games, Hayley Child. Her face has

been everywhere. -- Eilidh Child. She certainly grew up in a household

that loved its sport. I'm one of four, two sisters and one

brother I have got. My sister and I did athletics and my brother had

played football. We were surrounded by sport.

I joined the team at the school and my sister did the same. She went and

won the cross country. I went along and won it too and then tried

hurdles and was quite good at that, too. What is the secret to winning

the hurdles? It is all about your stride pattern. Every hurdle, you

want to attack it. If you have one blip on one hurdle, it can affect

the whole race. It is about having a really smooth race. You have got

your first British title. How did it feel to be the favourite? I have

never had that kind of expectation. I wanted to win it. I knew if I ran

a good race I should run it. Especially in the hurdle events

things have happened. I just wanted to go out and do my best

performance. London was overwhelming. Rafa van step away and

look at it from a distance, I am at the Olympics here, an incredible

opportunity, I just saw it as a champ in chips where I did not

perform very well. I want to just enjoy the experience of Glasgow. I

hope it will be a nice support when a comeback, with the home crowd

there to cheer on. You feel a bit special because you are a home

athlete. I hope I will be a bit more relaxed knowing I have good support

behind me. When I went to my first senior Championship 's, I was a

youngster and it was my first experience, the world champ in

chips. Then I went to Delhi. I wasn't making up numbers, I was a

contender. COMMENTATOR: Hayley Child is closing

down. -- Eilidh Child It was such an amazing feeling. That was the start

of things after that for me. Imagine doing the lap of honour in Glasgow.

Have you allowed yourself to think? It would be the best moment of my

life to be able to do that. Rather than think about that, I just try to

focus on what I need to do to hopefully get to that stage. I've

plan my training and things like that and if it happens, it happens.

Silver medallist in Delhi for years ago. Fantastic run on this track in

the Diamond league a few weeks ago and when we spoke to her in Rome at

the Diamond league, we said to her, your faces everywhere, are you

enjoying it? She said, yes, I am. She has the right mindset. She has,

and there is a point in an athlete's career when they start to

recognise and accept that they are as good as they are, and I think

Eilidh Child has talked about 2012 in overall by the expectation and

the atmosphere, but now she is ready, she has trained hard, she has

made those changes, and she knows what everyone in the stadium,

regardless of being Scottish or not, they want her to do well. She's

prepared for that mentally, you can see that, here it in interviews. All

she has to do is execute her race like she did in the Glasgow Diamond

league, and she will be fine. Angela Ballard won the T 45 1500m earlier

is receiving her medal. Smith is undoubtedly the favourite in the

field. She did, of course, come up against new problems last year in

the World Championships, so her technique sometimes borderline, and

she was disqualified last year. Poppies nobody wants that to happen

this evening but it will be an interesting head-to-head. --

Peasley, nobody wants that to happen. She will be bitter from that

and this is a happen. She will be bitter from that

and this Championship that Jamaicans take very personally and seriously.

She is in name six. -- Lane 6. She will bring her leg around the

hurdle. Rounding the hurdle as opposed to over the hurdle.

Sometimes that is done inadvertently. I do not think anyone

should try to do it to gain any advantage, especially at that point

in the race, so it was a mistake and I'm sure she was absolutely

devastated by it. I am sure she's thinking about it coming into these

championships. Let's head outside because within that T54 1500m

ceremony, Jade Jones of England, the one with the bronze. How lovely,

what a great moment for her coach, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, to be

the one to put the medal round her neck. We were sitting here with

Tanni. She was shaking. I do not know how she managed to commentate.

So it is a beautiful moment when things come together like that, and

well done to Jade Jones. 18 years old. I think we will hear and see of

a lot more from her in the future. Let's get out on the track. The

first of two 400m hurdles finals, the men first.

champion. Dai Greene failed to go through. Two English athlete but the

Jamaican is the favourite, along with South African Cornel

Fredericks. Catch -- English athlete. The Kenyan champion, any

face. The first of the contenders is white. -- Boniface Mucheru. Jeffery

Gibson in lane five. The record-holder. We saw Cornel

Fredericks strapped in the semifinal but he said that was just a

precaution. And if he is in his best form, he might be the man to beat.

The World Champion is in lane three. He won the world title by fractions.

Not quite enough form this year but he showed in the semifinal that he

was getting pretty good. The African champion a couple of years ago,

Christian Cuevas-Morton, and an American citizen who chose to

compete for Nigeria. Nile Flannery has been his own fiercest critic.

The Jamaican champion rocks Roy Cato was disqualified in the semifinal

and that allowed Flannery back in. Two English athletes in this final.

Flannery, Christian Cuevas-Morton, Cornel Fredericks, Jeffery Gibson,

Annsert Whyte, Richard Yates and the Kenyans, Boniface Mucheru. We as for

silence at Hampden Park -- we are asking for silence.

Cornel Fredericks rises in the green vest of South Africa. He may be the

man to catch, he has been so strong this season. It is even between

Jehue Gordon and Cornel Fredericks who is making his move alongside

Jeffery Gibson. Boniface Mucheru on the outside. Flannery on the inside.

Cornel Fredericks is flying. The World Champion is hunting him down

and watching him all the time. Cornel Fredericks is looking

powerful. Annsert Whyte in yellow. But he is down and he has gone.

Cornel Fredericks is clear. Jehue Gordon finished strong in Moscow and

he is doing it again. Connor Fredericks is holding gone. Jeffery

Gibson does not get fair, Jehue Gordon lunging at the line for the

silver medal but Cornel Fredericks, the champion, the Commonwealth

champion... This man is the winner. He takes the applause at Hampden

Park because he went out quickly and he held on. He is the champion.

He is a highly skilled hurdler. You expect him to have very good

technique. When he was young, he was African Junior champion. He is a

very skilful runner indeed. We were very running -- we were very worried

about him with that strapping on his thigh but he came through. Annsert

Whyte was pushing for a position as well but down he went. And he hit

the barriers. You have to do it in a skilful way, you cannot accelerate

like that and you pay the penalty when you are tired. Remember when we

spoke about this young man, how disappointed he was? And he ended up

coming in fourth place in a tight inside lane. A good, strong

performance. Returning back to form. We were looking so much at Cornel

Fredericks and Jehue Gordon and Annsert Whyte, look at Flannery in

lane one. Many titles have been won in this

lane. In 1972, and 48 seconds in the inside lane. Moses won from the

inside lane. A lot of skilful athletes have pulled off a great

performance from that position. What is good about Flannery, he kept his

head. He has been working hard, he has been disappointed in his

performances coming into this championship. But when he gets

focused, he can get the performance when it matters. The rest of the

field is not going away so he starts to get -- so he starts to dig in and

he works hard and he gets something out of this race. What a

performance! In fourth place in the Commonwealth Games, a great

performance for him. -- a fourth place. Annsert Whyte, he hit the

barrier with his leaders like because he is too close. -- with his

lead leg. That is what happens. He is too close, problems. Cornel

Fredericks, what a great victory. Very pleased for him because he has

been knocking on the door of success for a long time. Look at Flannery.

Glancing over to see where he is. Counting everybody as he goes past.

A great return to form and I hope he is very pleased with that. He is

with Phil. How please are you with that

performance considering what happened yesterday and you were not

in the final? -- pleased. It was strange yesterday. I was annoyed and

I still am, I did not execute it right. I pushed too hard yesterday.

I am happy with my race. Those three guys are world-class. I am happy to

come fourth, strange as it sounds. I have come fourth in every

championships and this is my first senior championships. If somebody

had told me I was before then the Commonwealth Games, they would have

bitten off their hand. It will stand you in great stead as you move

forward. Yesterday, down in the dumps. The

appeal goes on, rocks Roy Cato trailed

appeal goes on, rocks Roy Cato I prepared as if I was in the final

straightaway. -- Roxroy Cato. I got the news at four o'clock yesterday.

Really good race today. The time is all right. But now I am happy that

Really good race today. The time is came back from yesterday. I am happy

before. All the best. The sun is coming out at Hampden

Park. These are the results. South Africa have it again. Jeffery

Gibson, a national record for the Bahamas and the first medal at the

poetics in the Commonwealth Games for the Bahamas. -- the first medal

at the athletics. Eilidh Child could be about to meet

her destiny. You have been in that position when the pressure is on,

can you enjoy it? Not at this stage, you are focusing. It is not about

anyone else, you are focusing on doing well. We can hand you over to

Steve Cram. What a moment for Eilidh Child. The

perfect girl. The crowd already getting excited. She is about to be

introduced. Her dad and her sister was sitting behind us a little while

ago. I am sure they are as nervous. Reports are that she is nervous and

excited. Probably a mixture of both. It is going to be tough. The

Jamaicans have been disqualified and disqualified and did not finish. The

two Jamaicans in here are the big threat. Police Spencer, the world

number one, and Russell, 20-year-old. -- Kaliese Spencer.

This is the full line-up. Russell, the 20-year-old, the new Jamaican

talent. She is a hearts fan and our hearts

pounding. She already is dashing always races in the colours of her

club. We hope it will bring her luck. -- she always races. Chanise

Chase on the outside. The South Chase on the outside. The South

year. She's improved by half a second. Eilidh Child. The poster

girl of the Commonwealth Games. Can she win a medal for Scotland? Lauren

Wells of Australia, she finished behind Eilidh Child in the Glasgow

Diamond League. The Australian champion. Janieve Russell, former

heptathlete and quick at 400m. 51 seconds this year. Trained by

Stephen Francis, she is a big talent. Kaliese Spencer, the world

number one. So dominant in the 400 metre hurdles this year. Canadian

champion Noelle Montcalm. Amaka Ogoegbunam of Nigeria. In 100 metre

and 400-metre hurdler. -- a 100. Nine times, Spencer has raced Eilidh

Child and nine times, she has won. It is wet, but it is Hampden Park,

it is Scotland, it is the home patch of Eilidh Child. The 400 metre

hurdles final. Hampden Park goes silent for their girl.

I am surprised the starter did not make that decision. It was Chanise

Chase. The crowd were unsettled. She put her hand up and she has every

right. That is exactly what she should have done. She should signal

that she is not settled. That disturbance came from the discus

circle. disturbance came from the discus

so they are aware it is not an infringement against an athlete.

Eilidh Child, of Scotland, is this her moment of destiny?

carry Eilidh Child to a medal. She has started well. Also going well is

Russell in lane for taking her training partner, Spencer, with her.

Eilidh Child is probably just about first, but Spencer with her. Now

Spencer leading it. Spencer of Jamaica takes the gold

medal. Eilidh Child of Scotland takes the silver. We dared to hope

that maybe Eilidh could overturn the way the result has always gone, but

Spencer is a great athlete. She is the world number one. And for Eilidh

Child to have even come close to winning back today, she would have

had to rent a close personal best. She acquitted herself well under the

pressure. She did go out hard, she took it down hard and she got on

terms with Spencer and now she can enjoy... Yes, it is her second

silver medal at the Commonwealth Games, but the last one was a long

way from home, in Delhi. This one is special. I'm sure it will mean a lot

to her. But you had to give it to Spencer. She was a great athlete,

but well done Eilidh Child. A huge amount of pressure on Eilidh's

shoulders. When there is a huge expectation and virtually everybody

in this stadium was hoping and praying that Eilidh could do

something here... So that silver medal will be very precious indeed.

She is very emotional. She is trying to spot people in the crowd. So she

can go on a lap of honour. Very pleasing to see first. That was a

huge relief. High-fives all round. Hugs all round. It has been a big

year that Eilidh. They are all wearing the same colour. She was

proposed to last year but engaged to Brian, and it has been a tough year.

When you have all of this pressure to deal with, as the hometown girl,

as the favourite, to just go out, and you still have to execute it.

You can wish and hope that the one thing you cannot do is mess it up,

and she absolutely did not do that. You are so right, Steve. We know

what he's capable of running, she has demonstrated it this year. A

couple of weeks ago she won the Diamond league, but you still have

to clear ten barriers, in tricky conditions, testing conditions, and

she did remarkably well. There is Spencer of course, now at last be

champion. She has been knocking on the door championships for a long

time, Spencer, and she has gone under the magical 53 seconds. For

her it is important that she takes the gold medal at long last. There

is Eilidh enjoying the crowds. That is her dad. Her dad and her sister,

who were sitting with us to begin with and they moved over to be with

their friends. Look how much that has meant to him. How proud he must

be his daughter. And all of Hampden Park starts to celebrate, and the

familiar song is being played down there. We have had this a few times.

She has walked a few miles herself. She has run a few miles. What an

atmosphere. # I would walk 500 miles...

COMMENTATOR: She is taking the emotion of the crowd, and I bet

COMMENTATOR: She is taking the had some endless sleepless nights.

Tonight I think she will sleep. STUDIO: The atmosphere inside

stadium is just rocking. I hope that is coming through to you at home.

Denise is jigging, Paul is dancing, even Michael is bopping along to his

favourite second anthem. Denise. Overwhelming. I remember London like

it was yesterday but the emotions here tonight are just sky-high.

Fantastic support in the stadium. Like the commentator said, to come

away with the silver medal, you can hope for the gold but it is a

realistic result here, but over ten barriers, anything can happen. She

could have hit it, follow over, but she came through. I just imagine the

weight coming off her shoulders. That is what it is about. There are

little kids tonight, Paula, and they are seeing a hero, and they will

want to go away and replicated. And the feeling an atmosphere as well.

That little girl will go away and think, I was in Hampden Park that

night, I felt that. It is something I want to do. Hopefully she will go

can join a club and try it out. Well, Eilidh touching just about

every palm as she goes around there. Brilliant scenes there. They have

had a lot to cheer about this week, the Nigerian Athletics Federation.

The song is all over. Everybody's listening to it. It is a fantastic

moment at this stadium. Well done for Eilidh. Sometimes

moment at this stadium. Well done silver, sometimes you win silver and

moment at this stadium. Well done she absolutely won silver. Steep set

moment at this stadium. Well done it up with a statistic, didn't he?

Nine times they have raced, nine times Spencer has beaten her.

Nine times they have raced, nine are dealing with somebody who will

be one of the favourites heading into Rio, and she is a supreme

athlete. Eilidh has stepped up again. She has, and making the most

of the readiness, being ready to do your best when it really matters, to

cope with the pressure, to understand the emotions and what you

have to do in your training to get to this point. It just reminds me of

1996 when Michael Johnson won the 400m and Roger Black had to rent the

silver because there was no way it was going to happen that he was

going to beat you that night, and being proud of that silver medal.

You have to just go out there and bring your race and Eilidh knew

that. As Steve said earlier, it is about not making mistakes,

especially in this event. You go out there and when your best race.

Anything can happen. We have seen it with Christine Ohuruogu. You just

have to go out there and give it your best shot and let the chips

fall where they may, and they felt right for Eilidh tonight. We

suspected, we hoped tonight might be the night. The really brilliant

night of athletics here. Thrilling Thursday, let's call it. Like Super

Saturday. Right now we have an Englishman.

David Weir taking gold a little earlier this evening. He is about to

be presented with his medal, so I will hand you over to Andrew Cotter.

COMMENTATOR: Following that atmosphere, and everyone enjoying

that music. Dupont from Canada gets the bronze medal in the men's T54

1500m, which was a race dominated by one man, really. A wonderful night

of finals here, and the weather is even behaving now. The setting is as

fine as you could hope for in the world sport.

The win the silver, representing Australia, Kurt Fearnley. As proud

and happy at he could beat to take the silver. That Hampden was making

a huge moment ago a few members away for the silver medal for Eilidh

Child. Now they will proclaim the gold medal for one of the greatest

figures in this sport. Gold medallist at the Commonwealth

Games, representing England, David Weir. All his great achievements,

six Paralympic medals, six Olympic gold medals, six times winner of the

London Marathon, but this seems to mean as much to him as any of the

others. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ladies and gentlemen, the national anthem of England.

from the Proclaimers to Jerusalem. And David Weir is champion of the

Commonwealth for the first time. What a moment the him inside

Hampden. STUDIO: Congratulations to David

Weir, the full set fame. He wobbled a bit after London. He was

Weir, the full set fame. He wobbled whether he had the motivation and

desire to go on. We are all whether he had the motivation and

that what he did tonight will mean he will go on to Rio. He is getting

quicker. And finding his motivation again. It is awesome. Such an

inspiration to so many. Brilliant. Let's head over to the wrapping up

of the long jump. COMMENTATOR: Final stages for the long jump final and

it is Jazmin Sawyers currently in the bronze medal position.

That is big! Jazmin Sawyers! She may have just jumped a jump of her life.

Perfect on the board, four centimetres to spare. Jazmin

Sawyers, wow! That is the kind of leap that you only dream of. 6.50!

Just two centimetres short of the golds. Well done Jazmin. A

Just two centimetres short of the silver medal. So the celebrations go

across to Ese Brume of Nigeria. silver medal. So the celebrations go

gold, I would have thought it might be blessing Okagbare. She is

concentrating on the sprint so it is her young team-mate, Brume at 21

years of age. She takes the gold. Look at that. Two centimetres off a

seasoned's best -- two centimetres and a seasoned's best the Jazmin

Sawyers. Canada taking the bronze medal. STUDIO: Well done. Both the

English girls there getting a seasoned's best, but Jazmin with a

terrific silver medal there as well. Time for a bit more of the Fast

Show. Jodie Williams take second.

The Jamaican chasing her down. Looking really good. Under pressure.

Calvert wins it. A good run from Bianca Williams.

Flying at the moment. Very impressive run.

A great performance. What a line-up for the final of the

women's 200 m. That is Bianca Williams, one of three English

athletes in this final. But the one they are trying to catch its

blessing could Bari. Jody Williams leading the English challenge.

Dash-macro one. That is Jody Williams. -- Okagbare. Things

looking good for England at the moment. Who can catch Blessing

Okagbare as she looks to complete the sprint double? Bianca Williams

in lane three. Calvert of Jamaica in lane four. Ese Brume -- who can stop

this run to Gold? Away they go first time and

already, Blessing Okagbare on Samantha Henry Robinson outside.

Freezing round the bend. Jodie Williams well-placed with Calvert

inside her. Jodie Williams strides to get there. Jody Williams looking

for silver. Blessing Okagbare gets Gold. Three English girls in the

hunt for silver and bronze. Macro -- one wins but what a race behind her

from Jody Williams, Bianca Williams. It may well be second, third and

fourth for England. Jodie Williams gets silver behind Blessing

Okagbare. And Bianca Williams gets the bronze medal. What incredible

sprinting by the English women to take second, third and fourth. All

getting personal bests and putting three Jamaican sprinters behind

them, phenomenal. And looking at the times, only Cathy Cook now has run

faster than Jodie Williams. And great for Bianca Williams. Blessing

Okagbare, her moment, she has completed the double. Untouchable in

the 100m and in the 200. Nigeria have Gold again. But what a race

from some of the future for British sprinting. Strong sprinting by the

English women. Jody Williams had good control of the bend. There was

pressure left and right but she never gave up. She worked hard.

There she is with Bianca. The two medallists. And that is the

champion. Not related, we stress that again. They are both 20. Time

for an autograph, many of those in the future. 22.50, only Cathy Cook

has run faster over 200 m. Bianca Williams not far behind. A possible

best for the fourth position as well. -- personal best. Blessing

Okagbare wins the Gold but what a race. There was a moment down the

home straight you thought Blessing Okagbare might be caught. Just a

moment! A fleeting moment! But the reality is that Blessing Okagbare

has got that incredible speed. Under 11 seconds on numerous occasions.

All the women would know that. Look at Bianca Williams. She is in lane

three and she has the two Jamaican athletes inside and outside but she

never gives up. She keeps working hard. Jody is a beta for and

mechanical runner, blue and all the way. -- dutiful. Bianca did well to

do that. And I feel sorry for the runner in lane eight. She had to

focus and keep pumping the arms to see where she would end up. A great

performance from her. These women will be pleased and excited about

their really -- Relay running prospects. That will be great with

England, Nigeria and Jamaica. A personal best for the fourth

position at 29 years old. Michael Johnson, you can ask for no more.

We can see Jodie Williams here, she is focused and giving it everything

she has got. It looked for a moment that maybe she had an opportunity to

defeat Blessing Okagbare for the Gold. Coming round the bend. She got

a great start. Blessing Okagbare did not run as far around the bend and

she did before. -- as she did. This is a great performance. The anchor

Williams. She had a really nice start, I love her technique. --

Bianca Williams. She is a great athlete. Nice transition between the

two Jamaicans. This is competing. She has to get people at this point.

She has the speed and endurance to do that. That is about training and

she has had great training. Just leaning at the end to get that

medal. Fantastic performance, certainly for Bianca Williams and

Jody Williams, now having a real opportunity to improve upon that as

they go into the future. They cannot believe it themselves. Amazing. I

think they surprised themselves. The future is bright for English

printing, British printing, women's sprinting, and it has not been for

some time. A double Gold in a Glasgow night for Blessing Okagbare.

And a thrilling Thursday, that is what it is called. 20 minutes of

athletics we have experienced in Hampden Park and for British

printing, this is great news. -- is hunting. We have talked about the

rise of these women. -- Tish sprinting. For these women to get on

the podium. It is incredible and my heart rate

is just coming down to normality. I have been watching Jody, I know her

family, she had a rough time. To pick herself back up, she has made

the move to train with Christine. That transition has helped her

confidence. It has increased her motivation. She has just been

rewarded with one of the most impressive runs I have seen for a

young athlete. And Bianca, as Michael said, flawless technician.

But great majority to not panic when she was so far down the field. Just

relax and to let her actions do the work, fantastic. They had to race.

With 50 to go, this was not a done deal. They had to pick of those

athletes. It was not a done deal by any stretch. With even 50 metres to

go. What kind of personal best? A 10th of a second by Jodie, which is

great. Two tenths of a second by Bianca Williams is massive. A big

personal best. That speaks to what type of future she has. And with the

right training and guidance, which is important, talking about the Tish

sprinters, what do you do from here? -- British. Getting a medal does not

put you in the World Championship final. You have to do

put you in the World Championship you have to learn from this. Not

just sit back. You are completely right. The times those girls

just sit back. You are completely produced can get you into finals if

confidence and you know it is in your arm. That is exciting for me.

They have to be managed well, stay healthy. -- your armoury. To make

finals in Olympics and healthy. -- your armoury. To make

performance they need. You are right, Denise. Those times can get

them into World Championship finals. You have to do this again. Now you

have done it, you have to do it again. That speaks again to

management, to keeping an athlete again. That speaks again to

not sit back. That is her little sister, Hannah. She is also

not sit back. That is her little sprinter in the making. That is her

mum who has had a personal battle. sprinter in the making. That is her

This is such a big thing for a child prodigy to come through and to make

it on a very respectable circuit. Commonwealth silver-medallist. She

took her personal Commonwealth silver-medallist. She

track a couple of weeks ago and finished fourth in a very strong

field. And tonight, she has taken it down again. She can get quicker than

this. Absolutely, she can get faster. No doubt about that. I would

say that contrasting the two, the most important thing for Jodie is

getting a medal at a senior level. Even though it is a bronze medal for

Bianca, the time for her is the nominal. That is the big thing for

her. -- phenomenal. Both positive for those athletes. It is about the

transition from junior to senior so often with a promising athlete and

Jodie was that. 151 races she has won as a junior, it blows your mind,

having that consistency. A lot of athletes get lost along the way

because things happen, they mature, something does not click on a

transitional period, and she has had injuries. This feels like the launch

pad. Yes, and what has happened in the past in many cases, when the

athlete is a child prodigy like that, there is so much attention and

focus that that contributes to the difficulty in making the transition

from junior to senior. Good and Jodie and her team for getting back

on top. Coming back and positioning herself really well as she goes into

the future. Next year is the World Championship and she still has

European Championships and that will not be a walk in the park but she

will go into that with tremendous confidence. And more talent from

behind, from the Oregon World Junior Championships, Paula. Smith winning

the Championships. A new generation coming through. Jodie will be an

inspiration tonight to see where she can go. Well done to Bianca for her

runs. And fourth placed, a bronze. And a silver medal. And this evening

and Eilidh Child in the 400 metre hurdles. After about 20 minutes for

her lap of honour, Phil Jones caught up with her.

The most popular girl in the city tonight after that wonderful

performance and silver medal, can you describe the emotions? The first

emotion was relief. It has been a nervous couple of days and I wanted

to execute the race well and I felt I did that. I felt I left everything

on the track and I am delighted to come away with a medal, over the

moon. In the mill .com and you have dealt with the pressure wonderfully

well because there is a what -- in the build-up. I owe so much to so

many people. My coach Malcolm and make training group have been

supportive, my fiance and Ryan, my psychologist, my family. I have a

great team, my agent Greg, they kept me grounded and focused and I am so

glad I could give something back tonight. What goes to your mind on

the lap of honour? The crowd so noisy and singing a proclaimers

song. corner of the stadium had a member

of my family and friends to share that with. It was so emotional. I am

just so delighted. It was always going to be tough to give some

perspective after the race but these memories, once-in-a-lifetime, you

will take them through the rest of your life? I try not to think about

that, I tried to see this as just another race and not get overwhelmed

but after crossing the finishing line, I knew that I had one at all,

there was a relief and I will enjoy the rest of tonight.

Congratulations. BOTSWANAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS.

Well, he won the silver medal, chasing David Rudisha in the London

and X and had that national medal. This time it was not as quick as

David Rudisha, this time he could not, not as quick as he wanted to be

but this young man, Nigel Amos, he is the Commonwealth champion and his

training partner also on the rostrum with the bronze medal. And a smiling

David Rudisha. Very gracious in defeat. Do not worry about that, he

will be back. Was -- holding those wooden trophies

carved out of wood. There you go. I am sure that Nigel Amos will take

that back with him. He got six and a half cows from London. He might get

more! That got Thursday going. But 800 Metres. Since then, we had a

lead child in the silver medal position. And only the fourth woman

in the Commonwealth Games history to do the double after her wonderful

Women's 400m Hurdles. Let us not forget about Blessing Okagbare, she

is the double champion and that was a prep -- fantastic performance. She

has yet to win gold at major championships but performance here

does bode very well for her chances next year. Andy World Championships

against the likes of Shelley and Fraser Price and those really big

dogs. Those in this girls have got to chase those people. They must be

looking at them as the targets. So does Blessing Okagbare, she still

not running those times, she is there but she cannot eat them. And

we did talk about what the British gross will take from this but

Blessing Okagbare will also take a tremendous amount of confidence from

this championship. She will be looking at these results, that is

training partner. Literally on her tail, she is right there. Until she

England in the long jump. Phil caught up with her.

England in the long jump. Phil caught up To take the medal, 20?

Amazing, at the start of the year might goal was to make the team and

then the final and then I said to the coach, we will see what happens,

I cannot believe it. You had the bronze medal in your grasp and had

an even bronze medal in your grasp and had

silver. I am so pleased. It does bode well for the future and in the

championship environment I was able to step up. Not the gold medal but I

am over the moon! This does show you the medal -- the value of ringing

the young athletes through? -- bringing. This is the biggest thing

I have ever done, coming through the junior ranks was valuable but this

was the experience I needed to take on the big girls. Look around! Enjoy

the moment, you will have a great time on the podium as well. Silver

medallist at the Commonwealth Games! Thank you so much! Where you are in

any doubt what this means? That facial expression was just

beautiful. Absolutely. This is what it is about, dreaming of something

and working towards it and achieving it. And other people watching that

and being inspired. If you want to take away one name from the

athletics, it could be Blessing Okagbare, she has done the double in

the sprint, only done three times before. Phil Jones

the sprint, only done three times her. What a night

the sprint, only done three times at Hampden Park. One of the stars of

the show, Blessing Okagbare, but the at Hampden Park. One of the stars of

second gold medal. You have the Scottish

second gold medal. You have the that I won this, not really

favourable weather and I had 201 day, this is competition and to get

to do something like this, day, this is competition and to get

something faster. From yesterday. I did not get the time

something faster. From yesterday. I the win. People will look at that

double championship! That is what I am saying! Even though I

double championship! That is what I that time, winning is amazing. Two

different gold medals in Glasgow is something to celebrate.

Congratulations. Thank you! It is ladies night, but it is time for the

men to turn it on, it is the Men's 200m final, only one Home Nations

representative in the shape of Danny Talbot and the Olympic bronze and

world silver medallist is there, Warren Weir.

Danny Talbot coming through but Jason Livermore is coming through.

It will be close. Photo-finish. It is Danny Talbot! Five together.

Warren Weir, Akani Simbine. Mosito Lehata might well be second place.

Look at Rasheed Dwyer. It will be all about Rasheed Dwyer.

Of course, he is the athlete with the accolades but, Michael, you do

not think he is unbeatable? Certainly not. And his team-mate,

Rasheed Dwyer, they are lined up and they have a very good chance. I

would expect them to see them coming together. Danny Talbot is not

comfortable on the curve. He is out in laying the bridge six, he has all

of those Jamaicans behind him. He will be coming hard down the home

stretch. -- he will be. Phil has the dynamic jewel. -- duo. We have Jodie

Williams and Bianca Williams. Everyone fancied you over 200

metres) I'm just amazed at the moment, I am in a world of shock. I

came in second and I had to perform and do it and I am just absolutely

over the moon. You have enjoyed the lap of honour, top five all time,

but Bianca, in your first major senior championship? Absolutely

gobsmacked. It has been such a journey for me and my coach. Like I

said before, I had to come here and to come into that 100 Metres and

then the silver medal, Tuesday was inspiring. I am so proud of myself.

What about those celebrations? Amazing, this crowd is absolutely

incredible. Everybody wants to speak you. It is an amazing atmosphere.

You have gone autograph mad! I got tired halfway through! I had to get

a breath back! All the little kids coming up to us. It is unreal. The

greatest thing about all of this for British women's spreading is you are

both so new to this scene and delivering medals all of the --

already. This is just the start? And we beat the Jamaicans! People are

always very quick to write off the women sprinters and I think we have

come out here and we have started to show that we can perform on this

time of stage and in such a strong field. This is a sign of good things

to come. Congratulations both of you. Happy birthday to my little

brother! The Men's 400m Hurdles title. Dai

Greene carry that title for three years -- for years. Cornel

Fredericks. It is a very fine win. Great scenes for the Men's 400m

Hurdles medal serve money and we're coming to the last final of the

evening on the track, it is the Men's 200m final. You said before,

you are sensing Jamaica, one, two, three? The only person who can

possibly get in there is Daniel Bailey from Antigua. He does train

with the Jamaicans from time to time that this man, Warren Weir, he has a

target on his back and he is in great shape but the great thing

about this is, you could pick any one of those guys. This will be

fantastic to see, that finish. Some people will be really leaning, like

Colin Jackson, trying to get there. Hopefully a great race in store. Who

will execute this is the best? Who will come through with the goods?

Who will hand over to Steve Cram. The full start list. Gavin Smellie

from Canada. Daniel Bailey in laying number two and then those three

Jamaicans. Danny Talbot, the only home country athlete. 38 and grew on

the outside. He has been drawn in the same lane he was drawn in the

semifinal. 20 years of age. He does look a little bit nervous. Does he

have a chance of sticking into the top three? All eyes are on those

three Jamaicans. This man, the record-holder, at 60 Metres. 10.13

this year and 47.3 over 400. Danny Talbot from England! The European

bronze medallist over 200 and is and then beside whom, the three

Jamaicans. Jason Livermore. Rasheed Dwyer, the silver medallist at the

student Games. This time, he is in the final and does he have a chance

of upsetting the -- the Commonwealth Games favourite for he came here?

Warren Weir. -- before he came here. They are looking chilly! It is not

as cold as last night, I have to say. Daniel Bailey. Remember him,

fourth place in Berlin back in 2000 and nine. And then Gavin Smellie

from Canada. -- 2009. We have been used to a clean sweep from the

Jamaicans. They have a chance in this 200-metre final. Warren Weir,

has he got the sort of performance that we have seen from him earlier

in the season? 19.8 two, the only man to have run under 20 seconds in

this field. -- 19.8. The 200-metre final.

Warren Weir gets a good start, he is not wire in lane three. Lane seven

is going well, Jason Livermore going well, Warren Weir has an advantage.

It is going to be rescued wire. well, Warren Weir has an advantage.

he hang on? Rashid Dwyer gets it. -- it is going to be Rasheed Dwyer. I

think they might have got a one, two, three. Very close on the line.

think they might have got a one, 20.1. A race which might have been

won and lost not on the bend which it often is but strengthening it out

on the home straight. You keep expecting Warren Weir to go away. We

have seen him moving on but this is not a Warren Weir of the past. It is

a Jamaican one, two, three. Colin? Great sprinting in the women's race.

It is chilly. That is a surprise. The semifinal, he probably looked

It is chilly. That is a surprise. better than Warren Weir. This is

Mosito better than Warren Weir. This is

just missed out on a medal because Jason Livermore finished quickly

come but Dwyer was Jason Livermore finished quickly

We watched his semifinal. His transition from the turning was

great. This is Danny, he finished in seventh place in 20.45. He will be

frustrated because I know he wanted to compete well and I do believe he

did. It would tough to sneak in amongst the top four. As I was

saying about Dwyer, we are seeing Warren Weir now and that is the

champion, Dwyer. He is doing the high five. The Jamaican men were

looking for a clean sweep, the women did it in the 400m and at last they

have done it in the 200 m. They will be relieved. Warren Weir, third from

the right. He explodes. He ran out on a very strong turn and it is this

transition we talk about. From the bend, he gets into the high knees

mode. Warren Weir was on him at that stage but he came out of the bend

well. He came into that stride he has and it was enough to put him

ahead of Warren Weir. As he came to the shoulder of Warren Weir, there

was no real response. That is where the difference is. They come off the

bend, high knees. Here we go. Working hard. Down the home

straight. Dwyer, his eyes fixed forward. Warren Weir was reaching

for the line and that made a big difference. Jason Livermore sneaking

through, brilliant stuff. I would be interested to hear what Michael has

to say about that. Yes, Colin, I am now just looking at

the Danny Talbot who is not great around the bend -- Danny Talbot. He

is only one tenth of a second outside his personal best, that is

not bad. It was a class of competition that was a bit much for

him. He can clean up that technique down the home stretch, rocking back

and fourth a bit. Warren Weir under a lot of pressure here. From Dwyer.

A really good start. He tried to put Russia and Dwyer, but Dwyer knows he

is better on the straight and he is not as comfortable on the curve. He

let Warren Weir run around the bend and he came home and he used that

speak to advance -- that speed advantage. Given Warren Weir run

19.8 earlier in the year, I wonder if he had an injury that put his

training back. But the Jamaicans taking the one, two, three, a lot of

pedigree with the Jamaican sprinters. Outside of Warren Weir,

this is the Jamaican beating. Jason Livermore and Dwyer. -- be team.

Great athletes in the future. Dwyer is a good athlete, he is the

Commonwealth champion. Warren Weir in second place. The silver. Not the

athlete he was earlier in the season. Jason Livermore taking the

bronze, ahead of Mosito Lehata, a new national record for him. Danny

Talbot in seven. -- seven. Danny Talbot finished in seventh place,

and he spoke to fill. -- Philip. Talented Jamaicans, what

had you hoped to get out of that race? I go into every race wanting

to win. I did not execute the race I should have. I do not know what went

wrong, I gave it everything. I can go home happy, but disappointed

because I know I could have done more. What have you learned from the

two races in one session and progressing to a major final? I

think I have learnt a lot in terms of how to handle myself against

these big names. You come into a championship and you want to do your

best. I was not far from my best but I need to move on from 20.4 and get

into the low 20 seconds to be competitive. What will you need to

do to get there? I do not know. I am not far away. I have run between

20.36 and 20.475 or six times this year. So a consistent basis. -- 20.4

seven five or six times. Hopefully I can carry on after that. Thank you,

all the best. What a moment for Eilidh Child. A

huge roar from this hand in crowd. -- Hampden Park crowd.

Everybody enjoying the face of these Commonwealth Games. It is for her a

new experience to have had that sort of pressure, and it was a difficult

Russia. Everybody in athletics knew it was tough to beat Kaliese

Spencer, she is a great champion. -- it was a difficult pressure. She

missed out on the World Championships but she gets her

moment, a Gold medal for the Jamaican. She has been disqualified

in the past in major championships, but no problems today. Eilidh Child

ran a good and strong race. It was always a mountain to finish ahead of

Kaliese Spencer. It was a rainy, cloudy evening in

Hampden Park. It certainly It

a silver lining. And It

Thursday. Some people seem to think It

it is over, it is not, we have got the 100 metre hurdles. The champion

Sally Pearson will take to the track. And Tiffany Porter, of

England, the bronze-medallist from the World Championships last year.

This is my favourite part, when the reggae music starts. The Jamaican

athletes look like, really, when they play the music! In the same way

the Scottish athletes do when they played the Proclaimers! Eilidh Child

said she did not really like it until tonight because she is a

Hearts fan and they until tonight because she is a

that is an Edinburgh thing. I think she likes the songs

that is an Edinburgh thing. I think enjoyed this evening. This has been

a night she will never forget, enjoyed this evening. This has been

Paula. That will stay with her forever. Thinking back to that will

keep her going to the tough times every athlete will face. It is a

special night and it is a privilege for me to be in the stadium tonight,

experiencing how it came alive and how this crowd really enjoyed it.

Kaliese Spencer was singing Bob Marley, she was delighted, as every

Jamaican is! Not true, Denise! We are going to have to steal his iPod

Jamaican is! Not true, Denise! We to see what Michael listens to in

his hotel room in the early hours! It is a fabulous atmosphere. Two

more nights of athletics here. It has been packed for every session.

But tonight, the bar has been raised in terms of performances, reaction

and appreciation for what the shoulders here have seen. The motion

has been incredible. -- for what this audience. I have looked at the

stadium and people have been on their feet. It was raining before,

they were singing. And now this athlete is about the interviewed.

Listen to the reaction. There is a presentation in the

stadium and we are not linked up to the microphone. You cannot hear it.

It is the presentation team and the audience

It is the presentation team and the conversation she is having with BBC

Scotland track-side. Colin said she would sleep well tonight, I do not

know if she well, Paula? How is she going to get that out of her head?

There is no way she is getting any sleep tonight. She will be buzzing

by tomorrow morning. Maybe tomorrow night, she will sleep

by tomorrow morning. Maybe tomorrow tonight, I do not think so. She

still has business to do. But it has been a great night, fantastic

evening. Michael predicted a one, two, three four men's 200 for

Jamaica and they with Philip. Taking the Gold medal, your

reaction? It is excellent. It is a wonderful feeling. We got a one,

two, three, a wonderful feeling. You used to these medal situations and

in Britain, you did it at the Olympics and to gain now. It is

always good. It is always good in the sprint. We did it at the

Commonwealth and we are pleased. trials in Jamaica, 1,2,3. The same

thing. One last word for the champion, what

does this mean to you? Were used to seeing Jamaicans dominate on the

world stage? This is a stepping stone for me. But the greatest!

Thank you for talking to us. Great scenes and a great victory for

Jamaica. They love being dominant in the sprint and nobody did mention

Usain Bolt. Let us go back to Gary at Pacific key. Are you enjoying

this thrilling Thursday? We certainly are. Truly wonderful night

of athletics we have been enjoying at Hampden Park and what a

sensational atmosphere, you can see why they call it friendly, Glasgow

is doing the Commonwealth bride. Let us take a breath. It is a given as

we are going to be breathtaking spectacle that is the ten-metre

diving. The women were plunging. The synchronised silver medallist Tonia

Couch and Sarah Barrow but this time individually. It is the final round.

Into the final round. Sarah Barrow has not quite worked out the way she

would have liked tonight, she's not quite on top form. A flourish to

finish would be good. That is really nice. Well done. She has not been on

her greatest form during this final but she has finished, as requested

by my commentator friend, with a flourish. 75 points. Beautiful dive.
