:01:02. > :01:07.the title he did not hold -- Commonwealth Gold. A flourish for

:01:08. > :01:10.Scotland provides them with a 14th Gold of the Games.

:01:11. > :01:14.Gold of In some of the most surprising

:01:15. > :01:21.scenes from day eight you might have missed -- and some of.

:01:22. > :01:23.We've been rather spoilt over the first seven days here

:01:24. > :01:26.and we had another steady stream of medals on Day Eight.

:01:27. > :01:27.David Weir had contemplated retirement, but adding

:01:28. > :01:30.Commonwealth Gold to complete his medal collection kept him going.

:01:31. > :01:35.While Scotland's great hope at Hampden Park, Eilidh Child,

:01:36. > :01:40.was happy with her silver medal in the 400-metres hurdles.

:01:41. > :01:48.Tim Hague rounds up the day's athletics action.

:01:49. > :01:55.David Weir, an icon of British sport. But the man who has done it

:01:56. > :02:02.all had never won a Commonwealth Gold. Would that change tonight in

:02:03. > :02:06.the 1,500 metres? He has heard the roar of the limbic

:02:07. > :02:13.stadium and is now at Hampden Park. Dave Weir is coming home to a

:02:14. > :02:18.handsome victory. -- the Olympic Stadium. The six time

:02:19. > :02:20.Paralympic champion can add the Commonwealth crown to his long list

:02:21. > :02:28.of achievements. Yes, it is a nice feeling. It was on

:02:29. > :02:31.the back of my mind after 2012, should I carry on? And this is why I

:02:32. > :02:36.carried on. And there was success for the

:02:37. > :02:43.women's 1,500 metres. 18-year-old Jade Jones secured bronze behind the

:02:44. > :02:47.Australian. And in wet and wonderful Scottish conditions, it was time for

:02:48. > :02:51.the home favourite Eilidh Child in the 400 metre hurdles. But with the

:02:52. > :02:56.eyes of the nation on her, the silver-medallist from four years ago

:02:57. > :03:02.settled for second once again. The first emotion was relief. It has

:03:03. > :03:06.been a nervous couple of days and I wanted to execute the race well and

:03:07. > :03:10.I felt I did that. I left everything on the track I could give and I am

:03:11. > :03:12.delighted to come away with a medal, over the moon.

:03:13. > :03:18.In the male version over the moon.

:03:19. > :03:20.Gordon was beaten, the World Champion from Trinidad could not

:03:21. > :03:26.keep close to Cornel Fredericks. But nobody could surely match Kenny's

:03:27. > :03:33.David Rudisha in his event, on paper at least. The 800 metre world

:03:34. > :03:39.record-holder and Olympic champion is not the Commonwealth champion.

:03:40. > :03:45.And this is Nijel Amos of what's one, he is going to take the Gold

:03:46. > :03:50.medal. Nijel Amos wins it, David Rudisha second.

:03:51. > :03:56.Botswana's Nijel Amos perhaps the shock of the Games.

:03:57. > :04:03.He is a tough competitor. He is a very tough guy. We ran a tactical

:04:04. > :04:06.race. I think it was good. This white -- this was not just

:04:07. > :04:14.about the track, there were two Gold medals in the field. The discus for

:04:15. > :04:18.India. And in the Long Jump, Ese Brume took Gold. And there was a

:04:19. > :04:24.surprise silver for Jazmin Sawyers of England. The 20-year-old's joy

:04:25. > :04:29.was not felt by compatriot Shara Proctor who did not even get to

:04:30. > :04:30.jump, injury ending her competition and hen night ending in two years.

:04:31. > :04:37.and hen There were tears of a different kind

:04:38. > :04:46.for the 100-metre champion Blessing Okagbare. -- ending in tears. Silver

:04:47. > :04:50.and bronze fall England, Jodie Williams and Bianca Williams getting

:04:51. > :04:56.second and third. And without Usain Bolt, Jamaica did not mind and they

:04:57. > :04:59.dominated again, first, second and third. Despite that success, this

:05:00. > :05:05.night was about one man, third. Despite that success, this

:05:06. > :05:14.wolf, David Weir, howling his way to more success. -- Weirwolf.

:05:15. > :05:17.There was Home Nations' success at Hampden Park tonight, but two of the

:05:18. > :05:20.England, have had another hugely successful night at the Hydro.

:05:21. > :05:23.Daniel Keatings delighted his home crowd with gold in the pommel horse,

:05:24. > :05:25.while England's Max Whitlock and Claudia Fragapane twisted and

:05:26. > :05:38.What a day yet again for the home nations at the Hydro. The English

:05:39. > :05:42.national anthem rang out three times and the biggest cheer of the day

:05:43. > :05:46.went to Dan Keatings of Scotland with his brilliant Gold in the

:05:47. > :05:50.pommelhorse. One of the events to watch at the Commonwealth Games, a

:05:51. > :05:57.battle between three of the world's best, Max Whitlock and Louis Smith,

:05:58. > :05:58.double Olympic medallist, with a point to prove. But Dan Keatings

:05:59. > :06:03.stole the show with a flawless point to prove. But Dan Keatings

:06:04. > :06:09.routine on the pommelhorse. He knew as soon as he landed it would take

:06:10. > :06:13.some beating. And so it proved, Max Whitlock and Louis Smith who lost

:06:14. > :06:18.his rhythm a bit failing to displace him from the top of the leaderboard.

:06:19. > :06:21.Max Whitlock got silver, Louis Smith got runs and a popular Gold for

:06:22. > :06:25.Daniel Keatings. I have had my best results in front

:06:26. > :06:31.of a home crowd and I was happy to continue that here. Just ecstatic.

:06:32. > :06:34.So that Gold more than making up for the mistake which saw him miss out

:06:35. > :06:42.on a medal in the first event of the day, and's floor final, that was won

:06:43. > :06:45.by England's Max Whitlock, breathtaking, high and difficulty,

:06:46. > :06:52.executed perfectly to deliver another Gold medal. -- high in

:06:53. > :06:59.difficulty. His English team-mate Claudia Fragapane at her third Gold

:07:00. > :07:04.medal at these Games earlier in the women's vault. There was drama, she

:07:05. > :07:10.was last up and the judges took an age before confirming her as the

:07:11. > :07:16.winner ahead Black of Canada. England's Gold rush continued. --

:07:17. > :07:21.elite Black. There was a bronze for England with Ruby Harrold finishing

:07:22. > :07:26.in third place. The final apparatus was the men's rings, due to perhaps

:07:27. > :07:35.as the weakest for the home nations but there was a Gold for Daniel

:07:36. > :07:38.Purvis. -- seen perhaps. Silver went to Canada, but there could be more

:07:39. > :07:44.medals for the home nations and more for this chat -- for this crowd to

:07:45. > :07:45.cheer about in the Hydro because the gymnastics will conclude here

:07:46. > :07:53.tomorrow in the Hydro. England's Jack Laugher is

:07:54. > :07:55.on the second leg of a possible hat-trick of golds after winning the

:07:56. > :07:58.1m springboard title on Wednesday. The 19 year old goes in the 3m

:07:59. > :08:01.springboard preliminaries at 10:05 BST this morning,

:08:02. > :08:14.ahead of tonight's final at 18:05 After he powered to Gold in the

:08:15. > :08:17.springboard final yesterday, Jack Laugher was expected to find things

:08:18. > :08:24.easier. But it did not turn out that way. Speight dominating the opening

:08:25. > :08:31.round, it all penultimate routine cost him -- despite. He finished

:08:32. > :08:35.second behind the Malaysians. This was a lifetime best performance from

:08:36. > :08:39.the other English competitor. The women's final opened with

:08:40. > :08:45.gasping. Olympic silver-medallist here getting it wrong. England's

:08:46. > :08:50.13-year-old, Victoria Vincent, the youngest competitor in Glasgow, was

:08:51. > :08:56.more composed. She finished 10th in his senior international debut.

:08:57. > :08:58.Team-mates Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow would synchronise silver

:08:59. > :09:05.yesterday and they were chasing individual honours today but could

:09:06. > :09:11.not manage it. Dash-macro to the synchronised silver. Tom Daley will

:09:12. > :09:16.compete tomorrow in the ten metres synchronised platform event

:09:17. > :09:20.alongside James Denny. On the four pairs will compete, another pulled

:09:21. > :09:22.out today, so only Gold and silver medals will be handed out, so

:09:23. > :09:27.nothing for coming third. Let's round up some of

:09:28. > :09:29.the other stories from Day Eight: England's Alex Dowsett made up

:09:30. > :09:32.for missing out on this year's Tour De France through illness

:09:33. > :09:35.by winning Gold in the time trial. He was almost ten seconds quicker

:09:36. > :09:37.than Australia's Rohan Dennis, In the women's race, England's

:09:38. > :09:41.Emma Pooley secured silver. She was six seconds

:09:42. > :09:43.behind the winner, Linda Villumsen, Pooley, who will retire from cycling

:09:44. > :09:48.after Sunday's road race, said she There was a gold medal for England

:09:49. > :09:57.in the women's triples bowls The trio of Sophie Tolchard,

:09:58. > :10:00.Ellen Falkner and Sian Honnor beat In the bronze-medal match,

:10:01. > :10:08.Wales lost 23-24 to South Africa. In the Para sport open pairs,

:10:09. > :10:10.England pipped Scotland to the Three out of the four

:10:11. > :10:24.semi-finalists in the table tennis Liam Pitchford

:10:25. > :10:27.and 15-year-old Tin-Tin Ho play Jian Commonwealth bronze medallists

:10:28. > :10:30.and husband-and-wife team Paul and Joanna Drinkhall will face

:10:31. > :10:41.Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley. From the fast pace

:10:42. > :10:44.of table tennis to the perseverance A silver medal in the 65-kilogramme

:10:45. > :10:47.wrestling category came despite an injured knee, while England's

:10:48. > :10:49.Louisa Porogovska beat Scotland's Kathryn Marsh to bronze in

:10:50. > :10:51.the freestyle 55-kilogramme event. The top honours were taken

:10:52. > :10:54.by the international athletes. With those details and some

:10:55. > :11:09.of the more surprising elements of Wrestling, a sport that throws you

:11:10. > :11:13.around and around, upside down, and where you frequently end up a result

:11:14. > :11:17.of. The tournament is over but not before a show from one of the best

:11:18. > :11:22.in the world who rearranges his kit and then his opponents. The Sri

:11:23. > :11:26.Lanka and had to play human wrap doll.

:11:27. > :11:32.The normal power. -- rag doll. He put up with two

:11:33. > :11:35.minutes of this. Victory complete and the Canadian stud between him

:11:36. > :11:44.and cold, -- and Gold, not comfortable. -- you stud. India came

:11:45. > :11:49.second to Canada in the wrestling medals.

:11:50. > :11:54.A heavyweight struggle between this athlete and his opponent from

:11:55. > :11:59.considerably larger Canada. One last left for Gold and he had a Games

:12:00. > :12:05.record. -- lift. Warm bowls is slow-moving

:12:06. > :12:10.but it can be dramatic and South Africa went for Gold in the triples,

:12:11. > :12:12.could it dislodge New Zealand? Another South African Gold on the

:12:13. > :12:16.green. Abington is getting good as we

:12:17. > :12:20.approach the quarterfinals and some people are confident enough for

:12:21. > :12:24.trick shots. But if you are trying something difficult, the risks

:12:25. > :12:31.increase. Take Grant Nel in the diving. No sympathy from the

:12:32. > :12:36.judges. For this dive, he scored nothing. Many of the Glaswegian

:12:37. > :12:41.Constabulary have been ensuring the Games run smoothly, keeping

:12:42. > :12:46.everything right. More of a challenge for some of them at

:12:47. > :12:58.half-time in the hockey. Less Miami Vice and more keystone cops.

:12:59. > :13:05.Australia at the top of the table with 44 gold medals. Canada are in

:13:06. > :13:11.third place with 97. That gold Ford Dan Keatings means of Scotland have

:13:12. > :13:12.got 14 gold medals. Wales are in 11th place and Northern Ireland

:13:13. > :13:22.joint 20 Third Place. -- 23. We've been taking a look

:13:23. > :13:25.behind the scenes of the Commonwealth Games on this show with

:13:26. > :13:35.our reporter, Chris McLaughlin. Chris Wilson said earlier, this is a

:13:36. > :13:45.picture from how the athletes relax. Video games! No sign of Usain Bolt,

:13:46. > :13:49.who is bored of video games already. Eric promised to paint his nails if

:13:50. > :14:04.his team won five gold medals. Fetching! And Indian boxer Singh met

:14:05. > :14:08.his hero, Amir Khan. We have some lovely images over the papers to

:14:09. > :14:18.look at. Let us look at the back pages. Amy Child's silver lining is

:14:19. > :14:27.in The Daily Telegraph. She has also got matching males. David Weir is on

:14:28. > :14:30.the times with the cold, my mates don't see the wheelchair, they just

:14:31. > :14:38.see me. And the back page of the express. Max Whitlock, leading the

:14:39. > :14:43.gold rampage. I think I know who will be on the pages this time

:14:44. > :14:50.tomorrow night. It is Usain Bolt des? Yes. The organisers of these

:14:51. > :14:58.games put together the wish list of who they wanted and at the very top

:14:59. > :15:02.was Usain Bolt. He goes in the relay heats tomorrow and then in the

:15:03. > :15:05.finals on Saturday. He has been making the headlines about what he

:15:06. > :15:12.might or might not have said but when he takes to the track it be all

:15:13. > :15:17.the competition. A pause in the crowds and they will be unbelievable

:15:18. > :15:21.tomorrow. -- he pulls in the crowds. We heard that he could not even go

:15:22. > :15:25.to the canteen because the athletes wanted selfies with him. Back on the

:15:26. > :15:29.track tomorrow. That is all from wanted selfies with him. Back on the

:15:30. > :15:35.the poster girl for came home with the poster girl for came home with

:15:36. > :15:43.We will be back tomorrow. Good night from Glasgow.
