:00:41. > :00:43.Hello, I'm Katherine Downes and this is Commonwealth Games Sportsday,
:00:44. > :00:47.a 15 minute round-up of the best of the action from today at the Games.
:00:48. > :00:52.More Scots glory in the pool as Dan Wallace takes gold in
:00:53. > :00:59.The one she really wanted - Joanna Rowsell adds the Commonwealth
:01:00. > :01:05.individual pursuit title to her impressive list of victories.
:01:06. > :01:08.And we'll bring you all the rest of the highs...and
:01:09. > :01:19.Good evening from Glasgow and welcome to Commonwealth Games
:01:20. > :01:23.Sportsday, the last leg of our coverage of day two.
:01:24. > :01:26.We'll bring you up to date with all of the Home Nations gold medals,
:01:27. > :01:32.We start in the pool, where eight gold medals were up for grabs.
:01:33. > :01:35.Scotland's Daniel Wallace took the host nation's third swimming
:01:36. > :01:38.gold, and there was success for England too.
:01:39. > :01:48.Andy Swiss watched the action for us.
:01:49. > :01:54.Representing Scotland, Daniel Wallace! Ready for the race of his
:01:55. > :01:56.life, Scotland's Dan Wallace. He broke the Commonwealth
:01:57. > :02:01.life, Scotland's Dan Wallace. He on his way to the 400m medley final.
:02:02. > :02:03.Now, could he deliver when it really mattered? The
:02:04. > :02:10.Now, could he deliver when it really for most of the race,
:02:11. > :02:12.Now, could he deliver when it really home crowd, he produced a remarkable
:02:13. > :02:19.finish to claim a remarkable victory. The crowd are standing to
:02:20. > :02:25.salute the new champion. Wallace now trains in America, a move he said
:02:26. > :02:30.had been key to his success. It was the best thing for me to do. Moments
:02:31. > :02:36.like this make it worth it. It was also the night when a 19-year-old
:02:37. > :02:41.came of age, England's Ben Proud. He was the fastest qualifier for the
:02:42. > :02:44.50m butterfly final, up against an array of more seasoned talents.
:02:45. > :02:52.Olympic champions were on either side, but none of them could catch
:02:53. > :02:56.the youngster. He has got it! The result, England's first swimming
:02:57. > :03:02.gold of these games, and in Ben Proud, an athlete who lived up to
:03:03. > :03:05.his name. I was just try to make it feel like any old race, and then
:03:06. > :03:17.realised it was a Commonwealth final. Tears came to my eyes. What a
:03:18. > :03:21.moment, then, for Ben Proud. Still a teenager, but already a Commonwealth
:03:22. > :03:27.champion. staff.
:03:28. > :03:29.Indeed, it turned into a memorable night
:03:30. > :03:32.Indeed, it turned into a memorable Walker-Hebborn took gold in the 100m
:03:33. > :03:36.backstroke, with a bronze for defending champion Liam Tancock.
:03:37. > :03:40.There were also silvers for Indian's Siobhan O'Connor and
:03:41. > :03:45.Stephanie Slater in the 100m freestyle S8 event. And bronzes for
:03:46. > :03:50.Scotland and Wales in the 200m freestyle. It was another fine
:03:51. > :03:54.evening for Scotland's Ross Murdoch. Gold medallist in the 200m
:03:55. > :03:59.breaststroke, now safely through to the final of the 100m. Team-mate
:04:00. > :04:01.Michael Jamieson failed to qualify, but for Scotland, more swimming
:04:02. > :04:04.celebrations may not be far away. The Home Nations medals kept
:04:05. > :04:06.coming in the velodrome today. Scotland landed their first win on
:04:07. > :04:09.two wheels, thanks to para-cyclists Neil Fachie and Craig MacLean, while
:04:10. > :04:12.Joanna Rowsell and Jason Kenny, two of England's Olympic superstars,
:04:13. > :04:23.were going for gold too. It is a measure of how popular
:04:24. > :04:28.cycling is now in the UK that this was the scene at the Sir Chris Hoy
:04:29. > :04:36.Velodrome. The man himself was was the scene at the Sir Chris Hoy
:04:37. > :04:40.Scotsman. Billy Connolly joining those in the crowd. And those
:04:41. > :04:45.present witnessed a dominant performance from England's Joanna
:04:46. > :04:50.Rowsell. Already world and Olympic champion. In the individual pursuit
:04:51. > :04:55.final, she became a Commonwealth champion as well. Joanna Rowsell
:04:56. > :05:02.wins gold for England in the women's individual pursuit! Try telling her
:05:03. > :05:04.that these games don't matter. I really wanted this. This was the
:05:05. > :05:09.biggest event I could do for the really wanted this. This was the
:05:10. > :05:13.individual pursuit, and it was the event I was going for when I
:05:14. > :05:19.started, so it means a lot to me. Over the moon. The 2012 Olympic
:05:20. > :05:24.champion Jason Kenny made the final of the men's sprint. Surprisingly
:05:25. > :05:30.for many, but he was pipped to the top spot by New Zealand's Sam
:05:31. > :05:33.Webster. Still a silver, though, in what has been a difficult season for
:05:34. > :05:40.him. But for the home crowd, there was only one real story on day two
:05:41. > :05:44.in the velodrome. And that came in the 1000m tandem time trial for
:05:45. > :05:49.blind and visually impaired athletes. Scotland's Neil Fachie,
:05:50. > :05:54.and his pilot, Craig MacLean, roaring to gold. The roof almost
:05:55. > :06:03.and his pilot, Craig MacLean, came off with their victory, and why
:06:04. > :06:06.not? That was the first time I have raced for Scotland, so to be top of
:06:07. > :06:13.the podium in front of a home crowd, it is hard not to have a tear
:06:14. > :06:14.in your eye. Teary eyed, maybe, but with a memory to last for a
:06:15. > :06:17.lifetime. The Home Nations have continued
:06:18. > :06:19.to dominate the judo competition. Scotland's Sarah Clarke won gold,
:06:20. > :06:22.while there were three more for England at the Exhibition Centre
:06:23. > :06:26.across the men's and women's events. The shooting began at Carnoustie
:06:27. > :06:29.with success for Wales, when Elena Allen won silver
:06:30. > :06:32.in the women's skeet. And more Welsh medals in the
:06:33. > :06:35.rhythmic gymnastics, when Francesca Jones and Laura Halford took silver
:06:36. > :06:50.and bronze respectively. Gold medal is definitely out shining
:06:51. > :06:54.gold clocks as retirement gifts go. In front of their home fans, Sarah
:06:55. > :07:00.Clarke will not forget her last night as a competitive judoka, even
:07:01. > :07:03.if it did not last long. The Cameroonian did her best to detain
:07:04. > :07:16.her. She managed just more than a minute. The crowd are starting to go
:07:17. > :07:20.mad. Now she is going for the arm. The arm is out straight. Sarah
:07:21. > :07:30.Clarke wins the gold medal. A couple of stud down the podium in the under
:07:31. > :07:33.63 kilos category, two Englishwomen including a bronze medallist who was
:07:34. > :07:41.told about her selection by her mum on Tuesday morning. It is crazy. It
:07:42. > :07:45.has been a mad rush from the start. I have not had a tracksuit. To deal
:07:46. > :07:49.with that and then get a medal is awesome. Scotland's Sally Conway
:07:50. > :07:54.also got a bronze, but England were most successful on the night. Danny
:07:55. > :07:58.Williams grappled his way to gold. Megan Fletcher's triumph came in one
:07:59. > :08:03.move, while Owen Livesey have to work hard to see of countrymen Tom
:08:04. > :08:08.Reed, who gets silver and no little respect. At Carnoustie's golf
:08:09. > :08:12.course, it is useful to be accurate. At its shooting centre, it is
:08:13. > :08:17.essential. 42-year-old Elena Allen from Newport in Wales knows the art
:08:18. > :08:20.of Skeet shooting well. She made the final of the competition, and
:08:21. > :08:25.dropped only three shots while there. Even that was not enough to
:08:26. > :08:29.beat Australia's Laura Coles, who took gold. England's Amber Hill and
:08:30. > :08:33.Sarah Gray failed to win a medal. Indoors, and English marksman was
:08:34. > :08:36.failing better. Dan Rivers took bronze in the ten metre air rifle.
:08:37. > :08:43.Who says Englishmen can't do shooting? Francesca Jones was chosen
:08:44. > :08:48.to carry the Welsh flag in the opening ceremony. When given a
:08:49. > :08:52.ribbon, she does more than carry it. She was part of the rhythmic
:08:53. > :08:56.gymnastics team that won silver last night, and glided effortlessly
:08:57. > :09:00.through four high-quality routines in the individual all-round final.
:09:01. > :09:03.Only just behind her was another member of the Welsh team, Laura
:09:04. > :09:08.Halford, who led after the first rotation. Ultimately, neither Jones
:09:09. > :09:11.not Halford could eclipse the Canadian who combined the skills of
:09:12. > :09:14.the ballet stage and the football pitch to take hold. But these tears
:09:15. > :09:18.have little to do with disappointment.
:09:19. > :09:21.In among the action today, there's been a big blow for Team Wales.
:09:22. > :09:24.Rhys Williams, the 400 metre hurdler and co-captain of the team,
:09:25. > :09:26.has been provisionally suspended from competing after testing
:09:27. > :09:29.positive for drugs at the Glasgow Grand Prix earlier this month.
:09:30. > :09:31.The former European Champion will now appear before a hearing.
:09:32. > :09:36.He was one of Wales' medal hopes at these Games.
:09:37. > :09:39.It's without doubt the worst two weeks that I've been
:09:40. > :09:45.through in seven years in charge of athletics in Wales.
:09:46. > :09:52.We are reflecting at the moment on what this means not just for
:09:53. > :09:57.the athletics team, but the whole of Team Wales in Glasgow, who've had
:09:58. > :10:01.a series of disappointing announcements over recent days.
:10:02. > :10:04.There is a medal target, both for athletics at the games and
:10:05. > :10:08.for the whole of Team Wales at the Games, and this will undoubtedly
:10:09. > :10:20.impact on those medal targets. Chris, a real shock for team Wales,
:10:21. > :10:23.but Rhys Williams says it's come as a shock for him as well. This has
:10:24. > :10:28.been simply a horrible couple of weeks for team Wales. First, Gareth
:10:29. > :10:33.Warburton failing a drugs test and now Rhys Williams. He denies this.
:10:34. > :10:37.He says he has never knowingly taken any banned substance. He will fight
:10:38. > :10:41.this. What this means for Wales and Welsh athletics is that it leaves
:10:42. > :10:44.them with a real image problem, something they're to have to fight
:10:45. > :10:47.in a general sense and coming back to the Commonwealth Games, the
:10:48. > :10:51.organisers have always been determined this was going to be the
:10:52. > :10:54.cleanest Games yet. For that reason, they've changed their approach to
:10:55. > :10:58.testing, more out of Games testing and they will see this as real
:10:59. > :11:02.evidence that approach is working. We will hear more on this in the
:11:03. > :11:07.coming weeks and months. Chris, thanks very much. Chris will be back
:11:08. > :11:11.with us later on. Let's look at some of the day's other stories. A second
:11:12. > :11:15.defeat for the Welsh netballers, following a loss to Australia
:11:16. > :11:23.yesterday. This time they lost to England. Scotland and Northern
:11:24. > :11:30.Ireland both lost their matches as well. World number one Andrew Selby
:11:31. > :11:38.was beaten by Scottish teenager Reece McFadden in his flyweight
:11:39. > :11:41.fight. He was deducted points by the referee after repeatedly losing his
:11:42. > :11:46.gum shield in the third and deciding round. Northern Ireland's Michael
:11:47. > :11:51.Conlan shrugged off a nasty head injury in his opening bantamweight
:11:52. > :11:55.fight against Matthew Martin. His face was lefted streaked in blood
:11:56. > :12:00.after the clash. Head guards were abolished by the governing body
:12:01. > :12:05.after a London Olympics. So, blood, sweat and knockout blows
:12:06. > :12:11.in the boxing then. There's been plenty of battles elsewhere. Drew
:12:12. > :12:17.Savage rounds up the best and most entertaining moments from day two.
:12:18. > :12:19.Weightlifting requires gravity-deifying strength, but also
:12:20. > :12:23.nerve and the ability to deliver at the crucial moment. All the more
:12:24. > :12:29.impressive when you're only 16 and have only been lifting for three
:12:30. > :12:33.years. 111 kilos in the clean and jerk and
:12:34. > :12:38.84 in the snatch, adds up to a Games best as well as the Gold Medal.
:12:39. > :12:43.Seemingly the best way to congraph lit a record-breaking weightlifter
:12:44. > :12:46.is to lift her. The ideal method to celebrate Nigeria's first gold of
:12:47. > :12:50.the Games. In the table tennis, there wasn't just a contest between
:12:51. > :12:55.contribute Dan and Tobago and New Zealand, but between -- Trinidad and
:12:56. > :13:03.Tobago and New Zealand but between generations. 15 minutes was all it
:13:04. > :13:11.took for experience to triumph over youth. In the outdoor venues, some
:13:12. > :13:16.were feeling the heat. Not Leonard Callus, the value of experience
:13:17. > :13:17.demonstrated again, as one of the Commonwealth's smaller
:13:18. > :13:21.cowboyriestriumphed over one of the largest. The final score in this
:13:22. > :13:27.men's pairs match, Malta 20, Canada 6. Rhythmic gymnastics is another
:13:28. > :13:33.event where it's vital to get things spot on. Credit to South Africa's
:13:34. > :13:40.gymnast for at least keeping smiling. When it came to accuracy,
:13:41. > :13:48.the Singaporean didn't disappoint in the 10 m air pistol. She loves
:13:49. > :13:52.intense mental discipline and focus. You're up to date with today's
:13:53. > :14:11.action. Let's see how that affects the medal table.
:14:12. > :14:18.So, the medal tally is ticking up. So much for spectators and athletes
:14:19. > :14:23.to take in at these Games. Let's see what they're saying on social media.
:14:24. > :14:27.Chris, what have you spotted? You mention that England netball win
:14:28. > :14:31.over Wales. I've never played netball, it's a tiring business
:14:32. > :14:34.apparently. England girls tweeted this picture, an indication of how
:14:35. > :14:39.I'm going to look in the next half an hour. And the England flag bearer
:14:40. > :14:43.Nick Matthew, his birthday today, happy birthday to him, 34. He
:14:44. > :14:46.tweeted this picture saying the crowd at the squash today were
:14:47. > :14:54.singing happy birthday to him. That's nice. Kimberly and lieu Wes
:14:55. > :14:59.Rennick, a double gold, they are tweeting their medals with
:15:00. > :15:00.Rennick, a double gold, they are Silver Medallist too. The Games then
:15:01. > :15:04.causing a buzz on Twitter. It's Silver Medallist too. The Games then
:15:05. > :15:14.taking over the back pages too. Here's what you'll be reading about
:15:15. > :15:19.tomorrow morning. Wallace flies the flag for Scotland. Dan Wallace is
:15:20. > :15:26.the Commonwealth champion. His face similar to Ross Murdoch's surprise
:15:27. > :15:31.yesterday. And Joanna Rowsell beaming there. Jason Kenny forced to
:15:32. > :15:35.settle for silver. The Independent focussing on the positive drugs test
:15:36. > :15:40.for Rhys Williams. They say it's part of what it's han by disastrous
:15:41. > :15:44.-- has been a disastrous build up to the Games for Wales. And the Times
:15:45. > :15:46.has a photo of a determined Joanna Rowsell on her way to the Gold
:15:47. > :15:49.Medal. Chris, we're heading into the first
:15:50. > :15:58.weekend of the Games. What do you think we've got to look forward to?
:15:59. > :16:03.Tomorrow, I'm going for Jen McInto be -- McIntosh against her younger
:16:04. > :16:09.sister in the 10 m air rifle tomorrow. Showna has bettered her
:16:10. > :16:12.sister recreptly. Zoe Smith in the weightlifting. Team England have big
:16:13. > :16:19.hopes for her. She's been very good recently in the European
:16:20. > :16:25.Championships. So Jen McIntosh. Joey Smith always a -- Zoe Smith always a
:16:26. > :16:28.huge name. Plenty to look forward to. Lots of big names to come. The
:16:29. > :16:32.coverage starts here on BBC One, breakfast on air at 6am, then the
:16:33. > :16:37.coverage of the action starts at 9am here on BBC One. We're back here at
:16:38. > :16:41.the same time tomorrow. But that is all from Commonwealth Games
:16:42. > :16:44.Sportsday for now on day two, where Scotland has another new hero in the
:16:45. > :16:50.pool. Good night for now.
