of the busiest of the competition. A new record for weightlifting and

the Commonwealth welcomes the fastest man in the world to Glasgow.

:01:06.:01:21.

There were 29 gold medals up for grabs today.

:01:22.:01:33.

Frankie Jones won Wales' first gold medal of the 2014 Commonwealth Games

:01:34.:01:36.

with victory in the individual ribbon rhythmic

:01:37.:01:38.

The 23`year`old, who is retiring at the end of the competition, has now

:01:39.:01:42.

Earlier on Saturday, Jones won silvers

:01:43.:01:46.

in the individual hoop final, clubs event and individual ball final.

:01:47.:01:54.

There has been a lot of crying at the rhythmic gymnastics but these

:01:55.:02:02.

have been tears of joy for Wales. After a lifetime commitment to

:02:03.:02:08.

gymnastics, this was a moment that Jones finally claimed Commonwealth

:02:09.:02:11.

gold. It was her routine with a ribbon, and last ever performance

:02:12.:02:16.

before retirement, that brought the worst team their first gold in

:02:17.:02:22.

Glasgow. She wowed the judges with a performance of skill, agility and

:02:23.:02:26.

sheer grace will stop there was a nervous wait after an appeal from

:02:27.:02:29.

the Canadians but after that, Charlie. It is the best three or

:02:30.:02:38.

four days of my life ever. Watching from the stands was one of the

:02:39.:02:43.

proudest ads in Scotland today. He shed a lot of tears as well. I am

:02:44.:02:52.

speechless, just like she is. You just cannot explain it. It is

:02:53.:02:57.

wonderful. I have never experienced anything like this. It is wonderful.

:02:58.:03:06.

What has it been like in the last three days? All I can see is Welsh

:03:07.:03:12.

flags. It could almost have been Cardiff. The Welsh trio had a target

:03:13.:03:20.

of three medals before the start of the Commonwealth Games and they have

:03:21.:03:24.

a haul of medals of eight no. So as she now plans her retirement,

:03:25.:03:52.

Wells gymnastics and not letting her go far. They are recruiting her as a

:03:53.:03:58.

coach to mentor future talent who will no doubt be inspired to follow

:03:59.:04:11.

in her footsteps. England saw Zoe Smith cap and incredible return from

:04:12.:04:18.

injury to gain weightlifting gold. She took the medal with a record of

:04:19.:04:32.

performance. Although weightlifters get three types of left. It was very

:04:33.:04:37.

clear early on that this would be a battle of Britain. Zoe Smith from

:04:38.:04:42.

England who got a bronze four years ago in Delhi and the worst

:04:43.:04:48.

competitor, 15 times have seen both feel that the terms so

:04:49.:05:19.

going into the last attempt, the Welsh woman was in silver, and Zoe

:05:20.:05:31.

Smith in gold. Smith News she was in line for the medal after the last

:05:32.:05:48.

attempt by Breeze failed. She set a new record and when she knew she had

:05:49.:05:54.

got the gold, she lifted her hands to the heavens and promptly

:05:55.:05:56.

somersaulted, showing her gymnast routes. A record and a bronze for

:05:57.:06:08.

Breeze who had come out of retirement standing ovation for Zoe

:06:09.:06:15.

Smith. A very satisfying end to what was a fantastic final.

:06:16.:06:26.

Scotland took gold in the velodrome. We were suffering after yesterday so

:06:27.:06:54.

highly to this managed to get the gold, it is beyond me. It is not set

:06:55.:07:06.

in at all. Eleanor Barker of Wales won a medal as well. But the English

:07:07.:07:10.

trio finished outside of the medals. A bunch of riders sprinted towards

:07:11.:07:20.

the line but the Australian Edmondson timed her run to

:07:21.:07:29.

perfection. Barker however snuck through to take third place and was

:07:30.:07:38.

delighted to have won a medal. I had no idea how I did it but I'm so

:07:39.:07:51.

happy with that. I celebrated like I had one at the end. Varnish was

:07:52.:08:06.

defeated once again. She still has a chance, however, the bronze medal.

:08:07.:08:13.

Strathclyde country Park has been a happy hunting ground for England and

:08:14.:08:18.

they have swept the board in the triathlon after winning a team mixed

:08:19.:08:19.

really. England's Vicky Holland, Jonathan

:08:20.:08:26.

Brownlee, Jodie Stimpson and Alistair Brownlee won triathlon's

:08:27.:08:28.

mixed team relay at the Commonwealth Games.

:08:29.:08:30.

The quartet each completed the 400m swim, 6km cycle, and 1.6km run

:08:31.:08:33.

course in a total time of one hour 13 minutes 24 seconds.

:08:34.:08:39.

South Africa took silver, 49 seconds Last time we did the relay things

:08:40.:09:11.

did not work out so well so it is pretty special. Alistair, you were

:09:12.:09:20.

hammering it down. I knew I could run all right but I did not want to

:09:21.:09:25.

spend did a few weeks ago so I was determined to win on the bike. You

:09:26.:09:31.

see people with their strength and it is really brilliant. You were

:09:32.:09:38.

quite tight when you came through transition. Did you know how tight

:09:39.:09:49.

it was? Did I nearly get a penalty? Every second counts.

:09:50.:10:03.

England's Mick Gault has equalled the Commonwealth Games record

:10:04.:10:06.

of 18 medals by winning the ten`metre air pistol.

:10:07.:10:08.

Canada celebrated another strong day at the gymnastics.

:10:09.:10:18.

All eyes were on a grandad from Norfolk. He is a veteran of six

:10:19.:10:26.

common run of games and was looking to become only the second man in

:10:27.:10:38.

history to get a tally of 18. I am exhausted, over the moon, elated,

:10:39.:10:42.

the job is done and I have the record of 18 medals. It took awhile

:10:43.:10:49.

to get but I reached it. There was disappointment for Scotland when

:10:50.:10:56.

McIntosh only managed seventh in the ten metre rifle. Obvious

:10:57.:11:02.

disappointment for her and for her sister who failed to qualify. There

:11:03.:11:08.

was also a medal for Drew Christie of Scotland. Also a bronze for

:11:09.:11:22.

England. In the last few minutes Scotland's

:11:23.:11:28.

Matthew Percy has just missed out on a gold in judo. The ten time British

:11:29.:11:32.

champion was beaten by a very narrow margin by the South African in the

:11:33.:11:38.

under 90 kilograms division. He looked distraught at the end. His

:11:39.:11:44.

head was bound for a long time. But he does get a silver medal.

:11:45.:11:50.

And that was followed by this. Just a few moments ago, Wales took gold

:11:51.:11:56.

in the women's and 78 kilograms category. Natalie beat England's

:11:57.:12:04.

Gemma Gibbons who won a silver medal at 2012. She has had many injuries

:12:05.:12:09.

since then, but she still gets a silver medal. And her husband is

:12:10.:12:16.

fighting later this evening as well. Two hockey, and Wales have played

:12:17.:12:21.

two and lost two in the men's event. There were beaten 7`1 and there was

:12:22.:12:29.

the seventh goal. The match was the first in a pool A. Wales lost 3`1 to

:12:30.:12:34.

India yesterday. Scotland have also played two and

:12:35.:12:42.

lost two in that pool. There was a 6`2 thrashing by India. Scotland

:12:43.:12:46.

lost their first game to India 2`nil.

:12:47.:12:51.

And here is what is happening at some of the other events.

:12:52.:12:54.

There was a hearty welcome for Rugby 7's at Ibrox

:12:55.:12:56.

The short form of the game was invented in

:12:57.:12:59.

Scotland, but it's New Zealand who are the masters at it having never

:13:00.:13:03.

They are used to teams wearing a blue here, but usually it is the

:13:04.:13:15.

home of Rangers Football Club. It has adapted well of hosting Rugby

:13:16.:13:22.

Union. It is seven minutes a half. As Scotland were already 17 ` nil

:13:23.:13:29.

down against New Zealand. The all Blacks have not lost on events, but

:13:30.:13:36.

Scotland hung in there. Fans were thrilled, but would automatically be

:13:37.:13:42.

disappointed, as it finished 17`14 to the champions. Some countries who

:13:43.:13:46.

were taking plant `` taking place were not traditional rugby

:13:47.:13:51.

countries, but Sri Lanka got one of the biggest cheers. A great try is a

:13:52.:13:56.

great try. They were in for a tough day, they

:13:57.:14:01.

also played England and did not manage to get a single try. James

:14:02.:14:11.

Rodwell rounded off a 57`0 victory. Wales had a walkover against

:14:12.:14:15.

Malaysia. There was a 30 try here. He had done the hard bit earlier.

:14:16.:14:20.

South Africa also show that they have the skills to entertain, a 22 `

:14:21.:14:27.

zero win. And victory for South Africa against

:14:28.:14:37.

Scotland in the mixed pairs final. They collected the country's first

:14:38.:14:41.

gold medals of the games. India have already won four golds

:14:42.:14:45.

and by the time that the ten metre as final reach the closing stages,

:14:46.:14:51.

they were guaranteed a fifth. She trains at a range that her uncle

:14:52.:14:57.

has built at her house and all that practice was for something. A

:14:58.:15:02.

fruitful trip for India to Scotland so far.

:15:03.:15:10.

Away from the competition, there was a sprinkling of stardust. Usain Bolt

:15:11.:15:16.

arrived. Bolt has sprint records in Worlds

:15:17.:15:18.

and the Olympics, but having never competed in a Commonwealth Games

:15:19.:15:21.

before, he says he's here in Glasgow For me, it is very important. I

:15:22.:15:33.

that we would come. But I was that we would come. But I was

:15:34.:15:38.

injured, so I did not get a chance. But I am happy to be here. I think I

:15:39.:15:46.

need the runs, because this is my first run of the season. I need to

:15:47.:15:50.

get it going. Away from the games, Vincenzo

:15:51.:16:00.

Newbury will be crowned champion after the final stage of the Tour de

:16:01.:16:04.

France. He did not have an incident during this trial. He extended his

:16:05.:16:10.

lead and the tradition of the yellow jersey not being attacked on the

:16:11.:16:13.

final day confirms him as leader of the tour. Tony Martin won the stage.

:16:14.:16:22.

That brings you all up`to`date. That is all from us here. We will have

:16:23.:16:25.

more from Glasgow later in the evening. Now we will turn to Formula

:16:26.:16:28.

One.
