02/08/2014 Reporting Scotland

For the first time in Commonwealth Games history,

And the milestone was passed in the last hour with two boxing golds.

Scotland are in fourth, with 19 golds,

Our Sports reporter Alistair Lamont has a roundup of today's action.

It seemed 50th medal of the games was a gold.

It came for Charlie Flynn, the Commonwealth lightweight champion

and a star in the making. It was like a thunderstorm, man. It is

absolutely unbelievable. I can't explain it. I want to thank

everybody that has put me here especially my dad. He has been

training me for the past four years. My mum does all my washing, clothes,

I wouldn't be here without them. Moments later there was another gold

medal for light welterweight champion Josh Taylor. I have trained

for this for years. I have dreamt of this moment 1000 times. I can't wait

to stand on the podium. There are more medals to come. A heroic

comeback from 19-11 down made Kirsty Gilmour the first Scottish women to

reach a singles badminton tournament. -- to reach a

Commonwealth singles final. Ten straight points! Not such good news

for Imogen Bankier and Robert Blair who lost their semifinal and are in

bronze medal action just now. This squashed double act also lost out in

their semifinal match to England. They will be back to

their semifinal match to England. bronze medal tomorrow. And Grace

Reid who came to close to a diving medal yesterday is through to

tonight's three metre springboard final.

Despite the rain, Glasgow is still very busy with tens

of thousands coming to watch the penultimate day of competition.

Usain Bolt will run tonight, in a relay final.

Many people we spoke to in the city centre had mixed feelings about

the sprinter after his disparaging remarks regarding the Games.

He is very good that his sport but the comments were not too good about

Scotland. Before he was someone you looked up to, now he is criticising

the Commonwealth Games, it is disappointing for Scotland. He is an

absolute talent. I will watch him tonight. He is very up himself. He

is so vast and wins all the races. -- he is so fast.

So, as the anticipation has been building

up in the city, our Games reporter Lisa Summers is inside Hampden now.

The crowds are just starting to stream in. The action doesn't get

under way until seven p.m.. It is all going to be about Usain Bolt

tonight, the final of the men's four x 100 metre final takes place at

9:15pm so it will be really loud in here. The talk of the town has been

about Lynsey Sharp, the 800 metres runner. She has been battling injury

all year and will she has been sick for the last few days. Last night

she stepped out onto the track and won a silver medal. Her story is

quite remarkable and there has not been much time to take it in. Last

night, Lynsey Sharp put in the most determined performance to win silver

for Scotland in the 800 metres. I wasn't really thinking about what

position it was, I was just chasing people which is what I love doing.

Afterwards, I said to Michael, I think I could have got silver and he

said, I think you're getting ahead of yourself. She saw nearly didn't

make it, she has been fighting infection all year and a bad run in

the semifinal letter close to going out. Here she is after that heat.

There is no excuse, I am in good shape and I let myself down. She

spent the night hooked up to a drip in the village hospital and what a

difference one day makes. Her vision of the race written on her hand. I

struggled with the overwhelming crowd in the semifinal so I needed

something that would keep me focused.

something that would keep me acknowledge the crowd on the day of

the finals, that is why I waved, but acknowledge the crowd on the day of

as I was waving I was looking down at my hand and stating those words

over and over. The Commonwealth Games is made by stories like Lynsey

Sharp's. Fighting spirit, mental stamina for a chance to perform in

front of a home crowd. And we have a special
