:08:26. > :08:29.The way I talk that's only about three sentences so I'm afraid
:08:29. > :08:31.that's all we've got time for this evening and... Now, are you looking
:08:31. > :08:34.forward to the Olympics? Hugely, as all of in Glasgow know we are
:08:35. > :08:39.talking about the summer's Games in London being the warm up event for
:08:39. > :08:49.the really big one, the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in
:08:49. > :08:51.
:08:51. > :08:53.2014! APPLAUSE
:08:53. > :08:55.I'm old enough to remember when the Commonwealth Games were held in
:08:55. > :08:57.Edinburgh in 1970 when this generation's parents were still in
:08:57. > :08:59.short trousers. Well, someone who is always in
:08:59. > :09:03.short trousers is the first of our featured athletes tonight. If I
:09:03. > :09:07.tell you, it is a miracle he can fit those giant legs into any
:09:07. > :09:11.trousers, I am talking about the great I can Olympic male cyclist of
:09:12. > :09:15.all time. Sir Chris Hoy. Chris is deep in full-time training for the
:09:15. > :09:21.summer where he is hoping to add to his haul of four Olympic golds and
:09:21. > :09:27.one silver. We caught up with him - who am I kidding?
:09:27. > :09:32.We stopped him in training! We asked him what role music played in
:09:33. > :09:40.his success. He was the undisputed king of the
:09:40. > :09:43.velodrome in Beijing four years ago, but Chris Hoy's Olympic Olympic
:09:43. > :09:48.glory started in 2004, when music played a crucial part in bringing
:09:48. > :09:52.home the gold. You get one shot. It is one time
:09:52. > :09:58.trial event and as world champion, I was last man off and the world
:09:58. > :10:01.record had gone two or three times before I was up there. There was an
:10:01. > :10:05.amazing atmosphere and normally I would be listening to the Foo
:10:05. > :10:13.Fighters or The Chemical Brothers, something that fires you up a bit,
:10:13. > :10:18.but I put on Massive Attack, Angle which is a dark, slow track. I
:10:18. > :10:21.remember putting it on and I got goose bumps on me arm listening to
:10:21. > :10:26.t it put me in the right frame of mind for that particular moment and
:10:27. > :10:36.it seemed to work all right back in 2004.
:10:36. > :10:37.COMMENTATOR: Oh Chris Hoy is the Olympic Olympic champion, the
:10:37. > :10:41.Commonwealth champion, the world champion.
:10:41. > :10:51.Until Beijing, no Scott had won three gold medals in one Olympic
:10:51. > :10:51.
:10:51. > :10:55.Games which meant we were soon referring to him as Sir Chris Hoy.
:10:55. > :11:05.So never unestimate the power of music. It could inspire Chris Hoy
:11:05. > :11:14.
:11:14. > :11:15.to Olympic gold once again this Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Hoy.
:11:15. > :11:17.APPLAUSE So Chris Hoy there with probably
:11:17. > :11:20.the only mention of the Foo Fighters you will hear tonight!

:32:53. > :33:03.straightaway and a nation held its breath while the outcome was
:33:03. > :33:09.decided. Was Scotland about to have its first 100 meters champion?
:33:09. > :33:16.He did it. He won it! And so on his first appearance at
:33:16. > :33:22.the Olympic stage, Allan took the gold medal and prime position on
:33:22. > :33:27.the podium. The Olympic theme replaced God save the Queen as he
:33:27. > :33:33.was presented with his medal. Of course, it should not be
:33:33. > :33:38.forgotten that Allan Wells came within inches of a gold double

:34:44. > :34:47.you know... You are not just saying that because she is here tonight?
:34:47. > :34:51.Yeah. Looking back, I don't know how many
:34:51. > :34:55.times you have watched the Moscow run, but what's the feeling you get
:34:55. > :34:58.when you watch it? Well, the thing is, as an athlete

:08:06. > :08:09.
:08:09. > :08:12.Wilkie and Liz McColgan. APPLAUSE David, Scotland, but you
:08:12. > :08:16.were born in Sri Lanka, is this right? I was and that played a
:08:16. > :08:19.great influence in my swimming career because that's where I
:08:19. > :08:22.learned to swim. I started very, very young.
:08:22. > :08:26.Warmer water? Much warmer than in Edinburgh.
:08:26. > :08:29.I was there. It was warm when I was there.
:08:29. > :08:32.If Rory was powering past you at that point.
:08:32. > :08:37.I remember you very well. You were the guy in lane two!
:08:37. > :08:42.We have heard a lot about dedication and stamina and the will
:08:42. > :08:45.to keep going. You were always lazy in training, weren't you? Sadly, I
:08:45. > :08:49.have to admit that, but the times where that you have to put the hard
:08:49. > :08:53.work in. But when I was a little kid, swimming was not fun. Can you
:08:53. > :08:57.imagine going up and down all the time and when you have come from a
:08:57. > :09:02.country like Sri Lanka and you are stuck in a pool in Edinburgh that
:09:02. > :09:08.was built in 1896, it wasn't conducive... Is it still there?
:09:08. > :09:12.Now we have the wonderful Commonwealth pool. Did you find a
:09:12. > :09:16.lonely thing. You talk about it is not much fun getting up at that
:09:16. > :09:22.time, particularly swimming, that dedication of being on your own all
:09:22. > :09:26.the time? Being at boarding school was harder. Women something an
:09:26. > :09:29.individual sport. And you have to be moat motivated and you have to
:09:29. > :09:32.swim four hours every day and if you can't get the motivation, it is
:09:32. > :09:36.tougher. We talked about the loneliness of
:09:36. > :09:40.the swimming regime. You know about it Liz from long distance running
:09:40. > :09:45.people talk of the loneliness of the long distance runner. Did that
:09:45. > :09:48.ever affect you? No, I have always liked my own company so, you know,
:09:48. > :09:54.I relished the fact that I could get out there and push myself and
:09:54. > :09:57.test myself and I never felt that I sacrificed anything to get to the
:09:57. > :10:03.levels that I was at. You were your own trainer, not at
:10:03. > :10:09.first, but you decided you wanted to to do that.
:10:09. > :10:15.I was coached from 12 to 18 from a guy guy who died of a heart attack
:10:15. > :10:19.whilst out running. I coached myself. I learned the trade as they
:10:19. > :10:21.say so it was really good fun. But it is about what you were doing,
:10:22. > :10:25.it is about that mental preparation? You know, it doesn't
:10:25. > :10:28.matter what you do in life, if you are going to be successful, you
:10:28. > :10:32.know, you have got to be motivated, dedicated and and believe in
:10:32. > :10:37.yourself and I think that kind of fits into whether it is music or
:10:37. > :10:41.sport and I think that anyone that is successful has those traits.
:10:41. > :10:45.And you have to do that if you are a musician as everybody here knows.
:10:45. > :10:49.You have to put in the hours, but not in swimming trunks.
:10:49. > :10:55.You are training your own family. Your own daughter, is she going to
:10:55. > :11:00.be at London in in 2012. My daughter Eilish is one of the
:11:00. > :11:05.top leading distance runners for the 3 K cheeple chase and --
:11:05. > :11:07.steeplechase and she has the opportunity to qualify for the
:11:08. > :11:17.London Olympics. Ladies and gentlemen, two of the

:11:20. > :11:25.APPLAUSE Like many of our sporting heroes, the musicians here tonight
:11:25. > :11:30.are at the top of their game. None more so than BBC Scotland's young
:11:30. > :11:34.traditional musician of the year, 2011, Kristan Harvey who is going
:11:34. > :11:44.to play us a medley of Scottish pieces arranged for this evening.

:25:07. > :25:12.equal power. Aileen had a gold and silver in the bag when she headed

:26:38. > :26:43.Chris Hoy a huge inspiration to you, but you might overtake Chris Hoy?
:26:43. > :26:48.don't know about that. He got me into track cycling, watching him
:26:48. > :26:50.win a gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games inspired me to take up track
:26:50. > :26:53.cycling. You are training a lot at the
:26:53. > :27:01.moment, but you are training with a simulated route and training at
:27:01. > :27:06.home? Part of my training is a lot of session on the bike, on the

:27:10. > :27:15.It simulates the route. I get all the routes.

:45:21. > :45:29.Andy Murray however has had high hopes of a special double in double
:45:29. > :45:34.He is a man on an Olympic mission. A first round defeat in the Beijing
:45:34. > :45:38.Games four years ago, means London 2012 gives Andy Murray a big chance
:45:38. > :45:43.to make amends. I look back on that as being one of
:45:43. > :45:46.the best experiences in my career. I was around some of the greatest
:45:46. > :45:51.athletes. Going to the opening ceremony was unbelievable and that
:45:51. > :45:55.was over in Beijing and now that it is on home soil, I think it is
:45:55. > :45:58.going to be great. I'm really looking forward to the tennis. It
:45:59. > :46:05.is at Wimbledon as well so that will make it more special too and
:46:05. > :46:11.the players view it as being huge. It is alongside the Grand Slams now
:46:11. > :46:15.in terms of its prestige and I look forward to playing.
:46:15. > :46:19.Right then, Andy, we have seen you lift plenty of trophies over the
:46:19. > :46:23.years, so what would you prefer next? A Grand Slam title? Or an
:46:23. > :46:27.Olympic gold? I don't know which one would be better. I have never
:46:27. > :46:32.done either, but now the tennis has got big in the Olympics and I'll
:46:32. > :46:42.try and hopefully this year win Wimbledon and the Olympics.
:46:42. > :46:46.
:46:46. > :46:47.And we are rooting for him to do both. Andy Murray.
:46:47. > :46:51.APPLAUSE Well, that is almost all from the
