the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. It's been another big day

for the home nations, but there's one man in particular

that everyone is waiting to see. And with news on that

let?s catch up with some England's dynamic diving duo

been the combination of para sport alongside other sports, and I've

been looking into whether people The Paralympic Games took

the nation by storm, turning the likes of David Weir and Hannah

:02:03.:02:11.

Cockroft into sporting heroes. But at the Commonwealth Games

:02:12.:02:15.

in Glasgow, it's a bit different. There's fewer events and athletes,

:02:16.:02:18.

meaning some familiar faces like And instead of a separate para

:02:19.:02:21.

games, all the events for both able-bodied and disabled athletes

:02:22.:02:26.

take place at the same time. High Speed two to be able to

:02:27.:02:42.

experience the first medal we won has worked well. The integration has

:02:43.:02:44.

been fantastic. And from London to Glasgow,

:02:45.:02:46.

para sport is going We are about to watch David Weir in

the T54 1500m, here in Hampden Park. You can hear how loud the crowd is.

:02:59.:03:04.

So what do fans think about Para-sport being on at the same time

as the rest of the competition? David Weir is coming home to

the main people. If you get bored of one thing, like the long jump, you

:03:22.:03:27.

can easily watch something else. If someone is disabled, they can get

:03:28.:03:31.

involved in the main events. You have different people together.

:03:32.:03:34.

So could other events such as the Olympics follow Glasgow's example?

:03:35.:03:39.

Logistically, it would be almost impossible to have a combined

:03:40.:03:44.

Olympics and Paralympics. It would last a month. It is too big. You can

:03:45.:03:47.

do it at the Commonwealth Games. So after Glasgow,

para and able-bodied athletes will go back to competing at different

:03:53.:03:54.

times, but the success of these Commonwealth Games may mean we see

all athletes compete alongside each Next, let's go to Ricky in Belguim,

Belgium. Behind me is the men in gay, which commemorates soldiers who

died, but were never found. Today, I met two kids who were here to write

in a special book of remembrance. I put, if it weren't for you, we would

:04:32.:04:36.

not be here. I wrote a poem. Flowers are red and the sky is blue, no one

is better than you. It is amazing, the amount of people, how many

:04:44.:04:48.

graves there were. That was why we put our notes in the book. We will

:04:49.:04:53.

be bringing you much more on the 100th anniversary of World War I

:04:54.:04:56.

over the weekend and on month. On the whole team here, have a great
