:00:40. > :00:41.Hello and welcome to Commonwealth Games Sportsday.

:00:42. > :00:47.This is your last stop of the evening for all of the best action

:00:48. > :00:50.from today and I promise we'll get everything in before midnight.

:00:51. > :00:56.Rutherford proves his pedigree adding gold in Glasgow

:00:57. > :01:03.Surprising even themselves with synchronised springboard gold

:01:04. > :01:10.as England take a trio of diving medals.

:01:11. > :01:12.Newspaper nonsense - Bolt strikes back after claims he

:01:13. > :01:21.was less than complimentary about the Commonwealth Games.

:01:22. > :01:32.'s! The sultry conditions that accompanied the start of these games

:01:33. > :01:36.have given way to a rather cooler day. So this was a slightly

:01:37. > :01:39.different environment for the athletes at Hampden Park.

:01:40. > :01:44.Greg Rutherford adds Commonwealth gold to his Olympic title.

:01:45. > :01:59.Two years ago in east London, Greg Rutherford won the Olympic title for

:02:00. > :02:03.Great Britain. And now, in South Glasgow, competing for England this

:02:04. > :02:08.time, he seemed focused on going for gold again.

:02:09. > :02:18.Look at that! And that job of eight metres 20 was too good for anyone,

:02:19. > :02:23.unless South Africa could pass on with this job. He could not, and

:02:24. > :02:28.another major title is Greg Rutherford's. I am over the moon,

:02:29. > :02:35.and a lot of people had written me off. I am trying to prove that I can

:02:36. > :02:39.still do it. The day was not so successful for Dai Greene. The

:02:40. > :02:44.former world champion in the 400 hurdles failed to defend his

:02:45. > :02:47.Commonwealth crown, going out in the semifinals and from one hurdle to

:02:48. > :02:53.another, the 3000 metres steeplechase final ended quite

:02:54. > :02:59.unsurprisingly with Kenya one, two and three. Further back was Ailish

:03:00. > :03:06.McColgan, daughter of Liz McColgan. But another button, Jessica Taylor,

:03:07. > :03:11.you'd better with bronze in the heptathlon so no one could get near

:03:12. > :03:13.the gold medallist. And another Canadian was head and shoulders

:03:14. > :03:25.above everyone else in the Commonwealth. Chemicals had success

:03:26. > :03:35.in the javelin and Valerie Adams had victory in the shop that. In this

:03:36. > :03:38.discipline, she is rarely beaten. -- Kim Nichols. Before today, grenade

:03:39. > :03:45.had never won a single Commonwealth title but in the 400 is they have

:03:46. > :03:52.Karani James, and he got gold. The crowd is fantastic. I love the crowd

:03:53. > :03:57.reaction and they really cancel out the weather! It is good just being

:03:58. > :04:02.out here, competing for a crowd like this. He might not like the weather

:04:03. > :04:07.that he can add this title to his Olympic title from London. Perhaps

:04:08. > :04:12.the standard performance on the track during those 2012 games was

:04:13. > :04:17.David Rudisha. The world record and with gold in the 800 metres, in the

:04:18. > :04:22.semifinals here, he looked in control and in ominous form.

:04:23. > :04:24.Tension and the odd tumble are standard procedures

:04:25. > :04:27.in gymnastics but this time it was Great Britain team-mates that were

:04:28. > :04:30.Their competitive spirit pushed England's Max Whitlock to gold

:04:31. > :04:33.in the individual all round event but Scotland's Dan Keatings

:04:34. > :04:35.and Nile Wilson had their own tussle for silver.

:04:36. > :04:52.Tonight it has been at the Hydro with six medals of grounds and the

:04:53. > :04:57.Home Nations gymnasts took everyone them. It started with Max Whitlock,

:04:58. > :05:01.leading from start to finish to claim the gold in the individual

:05:02. > :05:06.all-around event. It was a masterful performance, Dan Keatings and Nile

:05:07. > :05:10.Wilson tussled all the way for the silver and bronze medals but Dan

:05:11. > :05:16.Keatings produced the performance he needed at the end on the high bar to

:05:17. > :05:22.hold off Nile Wilson. But what a debut in the competition for him. He

:05:23. > :05:24.exudes confidence and proved why he is such an exciting prospect for

:05:25. > :05:30.British gymnastics, which is in a very strong position with the World

:05:31. > :05:33.Championships around the corner. That was an amazing feeling, to go

:05:34. > :05:40.out there, I had goose bumps from the competition and to compete aside

:05:41. > :05:44.these great athletes, and to be on the podium is amazing. The seasoning

:05:45. > :05:49.it was the women with the individual all-around competition and English

:05:50. > :05:56.gymnasts charged to the top of the standings. In the end, an explosive

:05:57. > :06:01.final floor routine from Claudia Fragapane clinched the gold medal

:06:02. > :06:06.over Ruby Harrold and Hannah Whelan to complete the English one, two,

:06:07. > :06:11.three. Tears on the podium. You can see how much that meant to hurt. And

:06:12. > :06:16.could be more gold medals for the Home Nations on the way when the

:06:17. > :06:23.individual apparatus finals get going. Exciting times for British

:06:24. > :06:27.gymnasts. The old and new generations were on show at the

:06:28. > :06:34.Royal Commonwealth will on the diving's they want. Jack Law proved

:06:35. > :06:38.to be one to watch. Rebecca Gallantree could not believe her

:06:39. > :06:51.final dive and was elation and frustration for Tonia Couch and

:06:52. > :06:55.Sarah Barrow. There is another name in diving to remember now, Jack

:06:56. > :07:01.Laugher, and we will hear more about him. He was in the springboard

:07:02. > :07:06.competition. He usually specialises in the three-metre competition, but

:07:07. > :07:11.it turned into a very serious Gold medal. He was sublime throughout and

:07:12. > :07:15.he secured victory with a stunning routine. His team-mate Chris Mears

:07:16. > :07:21.finished fourth. Lost for words. This morning was great. I scored 435

:07:22. > :07:28.and that was great and to score 450 is amazing. In the women's final,

:07:29. > :07:32.Olivia Black and her team-mate made a slow start but they climbed to

:07:33. > :07:37.second with one dive to go. And they delivered the routine of their

:07:38. > :07:43.lives, landing England's second Gold of the day. It took them a moment to

:07:44. > :07:46.realise what they had achieved. Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow

:07:47. > :07:51.surprise themselves with a silver in the platform event. They had led

:07:52. > :07:56.going into the event but were pleased to secure a medal.

:07:57. > :07:59.Tom Daley has confirmed he will compete in the ten-metre

:08:00. > :08:02.synchronised event on Friday. He has been without a regular partner since

:08:03. > :08:09.the retirement of Peter Waterfield who he competed with London 2012.

:08:10. > :08:12.You will be joined by fellow 20-year-old James Denny.

:08:13. > :08:16.The diving continues in Edinburgh tomorrow and there is no rest for

:08:17. > :08:20.the medallists. Jack Laugher will be back and Tonia Couch and Sarah

:08:21. > :08:36.Barrow are back for the ten-metre individual platform event.

:08:37. > :08:42.Looking forward to that. More on the paper review to come, but Usain Bolt

:08:43. > :08:48.has denied making the comments. This report contains flash photography.

:08:49. > :08:54.Usain Bolt was supporting Jamaica's netball team this morning but the

:08:55. > :08:57.world's fastest man is involved in a controversy. What do you think of

:08:58. > :09:02.the Commonwealth Games? Or some was his reply. Very

:09:03. > :09:06.different to what he was supposed to have given yesterday -- awesome.

:09:07. > :09:11.After meeting the Royal family, it is claimed he spoke to a reporter

:09:12. > :09:12.and described the so-called friendly Games in less than friendly terms.

:09:13. > :09:23.He denied the claims on Twitter. Usain Bolt is used to being the

:09:24. > :09:29.centre of attention but not quite like this. Focus in Glasgow is not

:09:30. > :09:34.on how he might run but on what he might have said. By the afternoon,

:09:35. > :09:37.he was back in the village and his press team say he is frustrated

:09:38. > :09:42.because he needs security everywhere and he cannot walk about. The

:09:43. > :09:49.newspaper is standing by its quotes and fans bemused.

:09:50. > :09:52.Just in a bad mood, it is unlike him.

:09:53. > :09:57.It is fantastic. We have done really well, the city is showing its

:09:58. > :10:01.friendly side and everybody is going out to make it a great Games.

:10:02. > :10:06.Organisers who welcomed Usain Bolt is to Glasgow at the weekend have

:10:07. > :10:11.defended their start traction. -- retraction. We are pleased with

:10:12. > :10:16.how he has responded. These are a fantastic Games. You heard him

:10:17. > :10:21.during his first press conference. He is very positive, very focused on

:10:22. > :10:27.delivering for his country in the Relay event. I am sure it will be a

:10:28. > :10:31.great event. As he trains tonight, Usain Bolt

:10:32. > :10:36.will be hoping his feet will now do the talking.

:10:37. > :10:45.Some of the other stories now from day seven.

:10:46. > :10:48.And it's been a good day for the Home Nations boxers.

:10:49. > :10:51.They are guaranteed at least a bronze after making it

:10:52. > :10:53.Including Northern Ireland's Paddy Barnes

:10:54. > :10:56.He knocked out Charles Keama, from Papua New Guinea,

:10:57. > :11:00.Michaela Walsh is guaranteed at least a bronze medal in the women's

:11:01. > :11:03.boxing, which will be the first for Northern Ireland in the competition.

:11:04. > :11:05.She booked her place in the last four with victory over

:11:06. > :11:09.Walsh could meet England's Nicola Adams in the final after the Olympic

:11:10. > :11:12.champion won her fight over Erandi de Silva of Sri Lanka.

:11:13. > :11:13.Walsh's team-mate Alanna Audley-Murphy is through to

:11:14. > :11:19.England's women's hockey team booked their place in the semi finals with

:11:20. > :11:25.England will now face New Zealand on Friday for a place in the final.

:11:26. > :11:27.But Wales finished bottom of their group,

:11:28. > :11:47.The island nation of Grenada has won its first Games. Their weightlifter

:11:48. > :11:51.one eight gold-medal -- Kiribati. In and's Ben Watson took bronze in the

:11:52. > :11:57.same category. -- England's. It will be a happy Rattigan

:11:58. > :11:59.household this evening, after Leon took bronze for England

:12:00. > :12:01.in the 97-kilogram freestyle There was a bronze too for Viorel

:12:02. > :12:06.Etko of Scotland in the 61-kilogram division, but the top honours went

:12:07. > :12:09.to the international athletes. Patrick Gearey rounds up

:12:10. > :12:11.the day's wrestling action, plus takes a look at some other

:12:12. > :12:25.moments you might have missed. Is old of wrestling is thousands of

:12:26. > :12:29.years old but very few in history have approached the ring like this

:12:30. > :12:35.Nigerian -- the sport. She sings a hymn of thanks and gets on with it.

:12:36. > :12:37.She won Gold in the under 53 kilo category and she finished off

:12:38. > :12:43.dancing. Look at that for a celebration!

:12:44. > :12:46.New Zealand's Sam Belkin is a security guard by trade and is used

:12:47. > :12:54.to long periods of waiting. Useful in his match, nobody could find his

:12:55. > :13:01.opponent. The result was a walkover and uneasy morning's work. He

:13:02. > :13:05.finished with runs in the 97 kilo division. The gold-medal match was

:13:06. > :13:09.an entertaining encounter between Canada and India. It finished level

:13:10. > :13:15.so they had to wait before the Canadian was declared the winner as

:13:16. > :13:19.he scored the last point. The battle for the women's Gold in the over 75

:13:20. > :13:25.kilo was between Nigeria, second four years ago, and the reigning

:13:26. > :13:32.champion of Samoa. This failure at 161 kilos gave the Gold and the

:13:33. > :13:39.revenge to her opponent. The weather made the warm bowls and injurious

:13:40. > :13:45.events today. -- lawn all is a difficult events today. Australia

:13:46. > :13:49.looked about as pleased as you can in an anorak.

:13:50. > :13:52.England and Northern Ireland were halfway through a hard-fought first

:13:53. > :13:58.game when the computer declared it over. A quick call was required,

:13:59. > :14:00.everybody tried to remember the score and England went on to win

:14:01. > :14:05.2-0. The Adcocks have already added to

:14:06. > :14:08.England's medal tally and are hoping to do so again

:14:09. > :14:10.in the badminton mixed doubles. Today, England leap-frogged

:14:11. > :14:18.Australia to the top of the table. England are top of that table.

:14:19. > :14:33.Scotland stay fourth with 13. We've been taking a look

:14:34. > :14:35.behind the scenes of the Commonwealth Games on this show

:14:36. > :14:45.with our reporter Chris Mclaughlin. What -- one of the images of the day

:14:46. > :14:51.has to be the shock of the divers winning. They could not believe it.

:14:52. > :14:56.Black and Rebecca gallantry. We have had plenty of pictures of athletes

:14:57. > :15:03.with their medals but none with faces like this. Look at the shock!

:15:04. > :15:09.Staying with Aquatics, Hannah Miley is a cool customer, won Gold and one

:15:10. > :15:17.bronze for Team Scotland. This is with cult hero 23 match -- Bert le

:15:18. > :15:22.Clos. He is more famous than his Gold medallist son, he says. And

:15:23. > :15:31.English domination in Hydro. This is Louis Smith. Reminding duvet on

:15:32. > :15:41.number one. In the Hydro and the medal table -- reminding you they

:15:42. > :15:47.are number one. I did mention the papers and the story about Usain

:15:48. > :15:52.Bolt is in the times. The Telegraph has an image of Gold medallist Greg

:15:53. > :16:00.Rutherford reaping to first place after a couple of years of injury

:16:01. > :16:04.problems -- leaping. And he is on the front of the

:16:05. > :16:08.Express with his Gold to go alongside that Gold from the London

:16:09. > :16:12.Olympics. We have had plenty of competition

:16:13. > :16:18.but we have got four days left, what the big events tomorrow?

:16:19. > :16:24.It is heating up at Hampden. We have had David Rudisha, this 800m has

:16:25. > :16:31.been a long time coming. The world and Olympic champion from Kenya. And

:16:32. > :16:39.it is up to Scotland's poster girl Tamara, a wee child in the hurdles.

:16:40. > :16:43.Imagine the atmosphere in Hampden -- Eilidh Child. And look out for

:16:44. > :16:44.Lizzie Armitstead for England and David Millar for Scotland.

:16:45. > :16:47.Thank you. That's all from

:16:48. > :16:53.Commonwealth Games Sportsday. The day when the two divers were

:16:54. > :16:59.stunned by their success. I'll be back with

:17:00. > :17:01.you tomorrow night. When wild animals get sick,

:17:02. > :17:11.it takes radical thinking, extraordinary medical skills

:17:12. > :17:13.and great bravery This is routine for me. The problem

:17:14. > :17:20.is to do it on a rhinoceros. This is real bionic stuff,

:17:21. > :17:23.it's amazing. This is the trickiest ultrasound

:17:24. > :17:26.I've ever seen. I've never seen the scale of

:17:27. > :17:30.this sort of operation before.
