:02:30. > :02:41.He is very good that his sport but the comments were not too good about

:02:42. > :02:44.Scotland. Before he was someone you looked up to, now he is criticising

:03:23. > :03:27.9:15pm so it will be really loud in here. The talk of the town has been

:03:28. > :03:33.about Lynsey Sharp, the 800 metres runner. She has been battling injury

:03:34. > :03:37.all year and will she has been sick for the last few days. Last night

:03:38. > :03:42.she stepped out onto the track and won a silver medal. Her story is

:03:43. > :03:50.quite remarkable and there has not been much time to take it in. Last

:03:51. > :03:55.night, Lynsey Sharp put in the most determined performance to win silver

:03:56. > :03:58.for Scotland in the 800 metres. I wasn't really thinking about what

:03:59. > :04:03.position it was, I was just chasing people which is what I love doing.

:04:04. > :04:08.Afterwards, I said to Michael, I think I could have got silver and he

:04:09. > :04:13.said, I think you're getting ahead of yourself. She saw nearly didn't

:04:14. > :04:16.make it, she has been fighting infection all year and a bad run in

:04:17. > :04:26.the semifinal letter close to going out. Here she is after that heat.

:04:27. > :04:31.There is no excuse, I am in good shape and I let myself down. She

:04:32. > :04:36.spent the night hooked up to a drip in the village hospital and what a

:04:37. > :04:41.difference one day makes. Her vision of the race written on her hand. I

:04:42. > :04:44.struggled with the overwhelming crowd in the semifinal so I needed

:04:45. > :04:47.something that would keep me focused.

:04:48. > :04:48.something that would keep me acknowledge the crowd on the day of

:04:49. > :04:53.the finals, that is why I waved, but acknowledge the crowd on the day of

:04:54. > :05:01.as I was waving I was looking down at my hand and stating those words

:05:02. > :05:06.over and over. The Commonwealth Games is made by stories like Lynsey

:05:07. > :05:07.Sharp's. Fighting spirit, mental stamina for a chance to perform in
