:00:39. > :00:42.I'm Katherine Downes, welcome to Commonwealth Games Sportsday,
:00:43. > :00:51.of all you need to know from day one in Glasgow.
:00:52. > :00:55.Scotland celebrates as Hannah Miley clinches gold,
:00:56. > :01:01.and there'd be more success for the host nation in the pool.
:01:02. > :01:07.Alastair Brownlee adds Commonwealth Gold to his Olympic title,
:01:08. > :01:09.his younger brother Jonny settles for silver.
:01:10. > :01:13.Jodie Stimpson wins the women's event.
:01:14. > :01:16.And we'll bring you the best of the international action,
:01:17. > :01:22.plus some other things you might have missed.
:01:23. > :01:26.here on the banks of the River Clyde.
:01:27. > :01:28.We'll be here every night during the Games,
:01:29. > :01:32.bringing you every home nations gold medal, and plenty more besides.
:01:33. > :01:36.We start tonight in the pool, where Hannah Miley raised the roof
:01:37. > :01:39.when she won the 400m individual medley.
:01:40. > :01:43.And there was more Scottish success, young Ross Murdoch snatching a gold
:01:44. > :01:46.that was supposed to go to the poster boy of the games,
:01:47. > :01:55.Here's our chief sports correspondent, Dan Roan.
:01:56. > :02:02.They had come to bask in what they hoped would be a golden night. To
:02:03. > :02:04.sport, thousands flocking here to Glasgow's swimming venue with all
:02:05. > :02:10.the expectation that comes with playing host. It would be great to
:02:11. > :02:15.get the Games off to a fantastic start and win some medals. Who you
:02:16. > :02:20.looking forward to seeing? Michael Jamieson and Hannah Miley. Can they
:02:21. > :02:26.do it for Scotland? Definitely! They were not to be disappointed. Miley
:02:27. > :02:32.overhauled England's Aimee Willmott in the final leg of a thrilling 400m
:02:33. > :02:37.individual medley. Hannah Miley wins gold for Scotland! This is what it
:02:38. > :02:42.meant to be 24-year-old's jubilant father and coach watching from the
:02:43. > :02:46.stands. That is what the Glasgow crowd were so desperate to see, gold
:02:47. > :02:50.for Hannah Miley, successful Team Scotland, helping to get these
:02:51. > :02:57.Commonwealth Games off to a flying start. Miley had a new Games record,
:02:58. > :03:01.but Scotland's night was about to get even better. Here in the pool
:03:02. > :03:06.where he learned to swim, Michael Jamieson was firm favourites to win
:03:07. > :03:11.a race he had waited seven years four, 200m breaststroke. But he was
:03:12. > :03:16.beaten into silver by 20-year-old Ross Murdoch. Ross Murdoch is going
:03:17. > :03:20.to dig gold for Scotland! A standard Jamieson could barely believe it,
:03:21. > :03:25.and nor could the new British record holder. There is no way that just
:03:26. > :03:29.happened, that was amazing. I didn't think I could do that, if I am
:03:30. > :03:35.honest. I am so surprised, it has just happened! With that gold,
:03:36. > :03:38.Scotland can celebrate the arrival of a new swimming sensation, and the
:03:39. > :03:41.kind of night that host nations can only dream of.
:03:42. > :03:43.So the pool for now belongs to Scotland.
:03:44. > :03:45.But when it came to triathlon, England dominated.
:03:46. > :03:48.Jodie Stimpson won the women's event with Vicky Holland taking bronze,
:03:49. > :03:51.while Alistair Brownlee saw off his brother Jonny in the men's.
:03:52. > :03:59.Here's our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks.
:04:00. > :04:05.Official programmes! This weather has shocked even the locals, but it
:04:06. > :04:10.is showing no signs of letting up. Sport and sunshine equals a happy
:04:11. > :04:16.crowd, but with the Bradley brothers be as content with this challenging
:04:17. > :04:20.course? -- Brownlee. Two laps around the loch and everything was calm,
:04:21. > :04:24.and with the Spanish world champion missing, no surprises who were the
:04:25. > :04:30.red-hot favourites. They dominated the podium in London, but Jonny
:04:31. > :04:35.leads the rankings in the field. It is those two right in the mix at the
:04:36. > :04:39.first transition. But Scotland's Marc Austin was not letting them out
:04:40. > :04:43.of his sight. The 20-year-old revelled in the home crowd's cheers.
:04:44. > :04:50.The Brownlees proved too strong, though, and nothing could separate
:04:51. > :04:54.them at the final transition. The pleasantry stopped and a race
:04:55. > :04:55.them at the final transition. The out, Alastair opening up a lead so
:04:56. > :05:01.big he could afford to take his time, savouring the moment,
:05:02. > :05:05.Commonwealth gold added to his long list of titles. This was my goal for
:05:06. > :05:10.the season, it is all I wanted to do, really. Now I have done
:05:11. > :05:14.everything, I don't know what to do, I might as well retire! Earlier in
:05:15. > :05:20.the women's race the first gold of the games was up for grabs. After a
:05:21. > :05:24.tactically cagey by C-section, Jodie Stimpson muscled their way into the
:05:25. > :05:31.lead, and the others couldn't quite match up pace. -- bike section. This
:05:32. > :05:37.is like all year, and I have got to thank so many people, they really
:05:38. > :05:40.got me through, it is awesome. Compatriot Victoria Holland took
:05:41. > :05:42.bronze. The smiles of spectators and athletes were as wide as the loch
:05:43. > :05:45.they swam in. Over at the Exhibition Centre,
:05:46. > :05:48.the Scottish sisters Kimberley and Louise Renicks won two gold medals
:05:49. > :05:51.in the space of an hour in the judo. In all, Scotland won six medals
:05:52. > :05:56.in judo this evening. Elsewhere, there was delight
:05:57. > :05:59.for England's Paralympic cyclists But disappointment for Sir Bradley
:06:00. > :06:15.Wiggins in the team pursuit. I'm afraid we cannot bring you that
:06:16. > :06:16.report at the moment, hopefully we will be able to come back to it
:06:17. > :06:18.later. it wasn't the best day
:06:19. > :06:22.for Sir Bradley Wiggins. at being left out of Team Sky
:06:23. > :06:26.for the Tour de France, tonight he told
:06:27. > :06:28.the BBC's Jill Douglas he'd become disillusioned
:06:29. > :06:37.with road cycling. I have stopped enjoying the road, it
:06:38. > :06:42.has become so political and so much red tape and things. I don't know,
:06:43. > :06:46.really. The track feels much more like a family, a closer knit group
:06:47. > :06:51.of people, where you have to work for each other. I don't know, the
:06:52. > :06:55.road is quite cut-throat, really. As we have seen this year, really,
:06:56. > :07:00.there is no loyalties in cycling, it is about the strongest guys winning
:07:01. > :07:05.the bike race, and that is fantastic, it is a proven success,
:07:06. > :07:11.really. But it is not necessarily the most enjoyable thing to do.
:07:12. > :07:24.Some big news there from Sir Bradley Wiggins. Mo Farah will not feature
:07:25. > :07:28.at these Games at all. He says he is not able to race and will focus on
:07:29. > :07:35.regaining full fitness for the European Championships next month.
:07:36. > :07:38.No Mo Farah to watch, then, but there are top athletes
:07:39. > :07:40.from around the world here to do their thing.
:07:41. > :07:43.Tim Hague takes look at the rest of the action,
:07:44. > :07:45.and a few memorable moments you might have missed.
:07:46. > :07:52.You wait four years for your chance at a major competition, gold is the
:07:53. > :07:57.dream, and then you forget to pack your racket. A little bit amusing, I
:07:58. > :08:05.think he has arrived without a racket! Not a great start for Xavier
:08:06. > :08:09.Koenig in the squash, but a much better one for the South African
:08:10. > :08:13.female hockey team, who put 16 past Trinidad and Tobago, and they are
:08:14. > :08:18.not even favourites for gold. Their opponents did not have much luck in
:08:19. > :08:26.the velodrome either, a big blow for Quincy Alexander, thanks to a blow
:08:27. > :08:29.out. Fortunately, no such mishaps in the women's 48 kilograms
:08:30. > :08:32.weightlifting. Sanjita Khumukcham secured India's first gold of the
:08:33. > :08:39.games, and then her male compatriot got the second. The men's 56
:08:40. > :08:45.kilograms event, he lifted a total of 248 kilograms. That is nearly 40
:08:46. > :08:49.stone. No such weight on the shoulders of Australian swimmers,
:08:50. > :08:52.though, three goals secured, including a special performance from
:08:53. > :09:01.Para athlete Rowan Crothers. He broke his own world record in the S9
:09:02. > :09:08.100m freestyle. This was just as impressive, back and forth for
:09:09. > :09:16.nearly 30 seconds in the table tennis. What a rally! But for every
:09:17. > :09:21.piece of genius, there is the odd calamity too. Take the rhythmic
:09:22. > :09:27.gymnastics, for example. Oh, my goodness! That is sport for you,
:09:28. > :09:45.highs and lows as we kiss goodbye to day one in Glasgow.
:09:46. > :09:52.A pair of flowers of Scotland cut from the same branch. The Renicks
:09:53. > :09:55.sisters became two of the faces of the Games on its first day. First to
:09:56. > :10:00.the floor was Kimberley, the the Games on its first day. First to
:10:01. > :10:03.and lighter sibling up against an Indian opponent. She took less than
:10:04. > :10:14.a minute and a half to unleash judo's most decisive move. Ippon
:10:15. > :10:18.scored! She has done it! But this sport is not always sudden. Louise
:10:19. > :10:23.Renicks had a very different final against Kelly Edwards, settled by
:10:24. > :10:27.slight mistakes, not big moments, but the result was another Renicks
:10:28. > :10:36.gold. England emerged from the night with three golds, Ashley McKenzie
:10:37. > :10:39.was first, his roommate matched him later, and Nekoda Davis got the best
:10:40. > :10:44.of Stephanie Inglis, who took second. The hosts finished the judo
:10:45. > :10:49.with six medals in all, while Northern Ireland forced their way
:10:50. > :10:52.onto the podium too. Lisa Carney's bronze was the province's first
:10:53. > :10:58.medal of the Games. Wales pick up theirs, leading the rhythmic
:10:59. > :11:02.gymnastics until late on, but settling for silver. Track cycling
:11:03. > :11:06.requires trust and cooperation, the kind of takes it to an extreme. It
:11:07. > :11:11.is for blind and visually impaired athletes who have a guide. The final
:11:12. > :11:18.was Scotland versus England, on the night it was red and white. Sophie
:11:19. > :11:21.Thornhill guided to gold, Aileen McGlynn has silver, the first
:11:22. > :11:27.Scottish cycling medal in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome. England's
:11:28. > :11:30.cycling knight never won Commonwealth gold, and Sir Bradley
:11:31. > :11:33.Wiggins was in the market, but pursuit is no procession when you
:11:34. > :11:34.are chasing the Australians. The start line was as close as they got
:11:35. > :11:39.to them. Australia lost start line was as close as they got
:11:40. > :11:43.halfway through but never lost the lead. A sensational time, a
:11:44. > :11:50.Commonwealth Games record! Meanwhile, Wiggins and company look
:11:51. > :11:53.to Rio. Jess Varnish will also be a force at the next Olympics if their
:11:54. > :11:58.performance today is anything to go by. She put in a strong showing in
:11:59. > :12:04.the 500 metres time trial, if not as strong as the fearless Anna Meares.
:12:05. > :12:08.The Australian took gold and Games records in Melbourne, Delhi and now
:12:09. > :12:09.Glasgow. Varnish finished with bronze, shoulder to shoulder with
:12:10. > :12:13.the best. So it's been an action packed
:12:14. > :12:15.day one. Let's see how the medal table
:12:16. > :12:17.looks tonight. Team England are the early leaders
:12:18. > :12:20.with 16 medals, six of them gold. Australia are in second place with
:12:21. > :12:23.14, Team Scotland in third with 10 Wales are joint eighth, thanks to a
:12:24. > :12:28.silver in the rhythmic gymnastics. While Northern Ireland are joint
:12:29. > :12:32.10th, Lisa Kearney picked up their So that's all the action
:12:33. > :12:40.from the various venues, but now it's time to take a look at all the
:12:41. > :12:44.action on social media and find out what the crowds, and athletes, have
:12:45. > :12:47.been making of the Games so far. Our Commonwealth Games reporter
:12:48. > :12:57.Chris McLaughlin joins me now. As you can imagine, Twitter has been
:12:58. > :13:01.absolutely buzzing since the start of the the Commonwealth Games. Let's
:13:02. > :13:07.look at Sir Chris Hoy, he has been taking to Twitter today, saying some
:13:08. > :13:10.great racing at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, congratulations to
:13:11. > :13:14.Scotland's first medal winners, Aileen McGlynn and Louise Hazel on.
:13:15. > :13:18.We have also heard from Greg Rutherford on the news that Mo Farah
:13:19. > :13:23.will not be competing, he says, gutted to hear England have lost
:13:24. > :13:27.another athlete and it is Mo, hoping for a speedy recovery for a national
:13:28. > :13:32.treasure. Finally, Jayde Taylor, the Australian hockey player, it doesn't
:13:33. > :13:40.get much better than this, just try to take a selfie, and Aluko photo
:13:41. > :13:42.bond! She is good at it, a broad smile on her face! Those are the top
:13:43. > :13:50.stories on social media this evening.
:13:51. > :13:52.Let's take a look at the stories making tomorrow
:13:53. > :13:55.On the back of the Times, they're celebrating England's
:13:56. > :13:59.A great picture of Jodie Stimpson celebrating as she crosses
:14:00. > :14:04.A bright moment in what they say has been a summer of discontent
:14:05. > :14:07.The Mail continues on a similar theme, though
:14:08. > :14:09.their back page stars Alastair Brownlee and Ashley McKenzie,
:14:10. > :14:12.who struck gold in judo today, two of England's six gold medallists.
:14:13. > :14:14.And this is the front page of tomorrow's Scotsman,
:14:15. > :14:23.celebrating a great first day of the Games for Scotland.
:14:24. > :14:32.Let me tell you, or four of the Scottish gold medallists are on the
:14:33. > :14:36.front page. This is only day one, plenty more to come, what do we have
:14:37. > :14:41.to look forward to tomorrow? Well, fantastic action in the velodrome,
:14:42. > :14:44.Sir Chris Hoy tweeting about it. I have picked out an interesting race
:14:45. > :14:51.tomorrow, the women's individual pursuit. England's Joanna Rowsell,
:14:52. > :14:55.of course, was a medal winner at London 2012. She takes to the
:14:56. > :14:59.individual pursuit tomorrow, that could be very interesting, because
:15:00. > :15:05.she's up against Katie Archibald of Scotland, who only took to racing
:15:06. > :15:09.around three or four years ago, very interesting, especially given the
:15:10. > :15:15.Scotland-England need all that comes with that. That is one to watch
:15:16. > :15:19.tomorrow. Anything else to flag up? Moving on from the Renicks sisters,
:15:20. > :15:25.who did well for Scotland, very well for Scotland in the judo today, we
:15:26. > :15:33.have Euan Burton, the flag bearer, his very last competitive event. He
:15:34. > :15:37.is in the 75-81 kilograms, some time between six o'clock and eight
:15:38. > :15:40.o'clock tomorrow night. He told me earlier in the week that he is
:15:41. > :15:44.absolutely desperate to do well in front of the home crowd, so that is
:15:45. > :15:50.one to watch. I have to ask you quickly, what is your highlight from
:15:51. > :15:54.today? The highlight was Ross Murdoch, I mean no-one gave him a
:15:55. > :15:59.chance, everyone was talking about Michael Jamieson, the poster boy.
:16:00. > :16:03.His face, his tears at the end were just absolutely unbelievable, who
:16:04. > :16:06.would have thought a 20-year-old that not many people had heard of
:16:07. > :16:12.would come from behind and picked the poster boy? Chris, thank you
:16:13. > :16:14.very much, a great opening day. That is all from Commonwealth Games
:16:15. > :16:19.Sportsday, back tomorrow, same time, same place, and the home
:16:20. > :16:21.nations will be hoping to build on the hard-fought victories of this
:16:22. > :16:25.opening day. Good night for now.
