:00:45. > :00:51.Hello and welcome to Commonwealth Games Sportsday. This is your last

:00:52. > :00:55.stop of the evening fall of the best action from today. I promise we will

:00:56. > :01:01.get everything in before midnight. Having up - Bolt is back on the

:01:02. > :01:09.track, and he is in fighting mood fit as well. 16-year-old Fragapane

:01:10. > :01:17.goes into the record books. And how not to do it - we will show you some

:01:18. > :01:24.of the day's mishaps which you might have missed. Good evening from

:01:25. > :01:28.Glasgow. There is no time to get nostalgic about the fact that the

:01:29. > :01:32.Games are almost over. It was another huge night at Hampden Park.

:01:33. > :01:37.We finally got a glint of the great Usain Bolt in action. He had a few

:01:38. > :01:41.words for those that had doubted his commitment to the Commonwealth

:01:42. > :01:44.Games. There were five slightly more surprising performances which

:01:45. > :01:46.resulted in more medals for England and Scotland. Patrick Leary rounds

:01:47. > :02:08.up the athletics action. Usain Bolt says newspaper reports

:02:09. > :02:14.that he made disparaging comments about the Commonwealth Games are

:02:15. > :02:18.nonsense. Usain Bolt was one of the last leg of the 4x100m is for

:02:19. > :02:25.Jamaica, and they had left him a bit to do.

:02:26. > :02:32.STEVE CRAM: Here is, here he goes. And the Usain Bolt show starts! The

:02:33. > :02:37.crowd cheering him on. Jamaica qualified for the final. Thank

:02:38. > :02:42.goodness for that. Everything has been good so far, just the weather.

:02:43. > :02:48.Everything has been great. The fans have been wonderful, I am happy to

:02:49. > :02:53.be here. Those words will reassure the organisers, but these images are

:02:54. > :02:57.what matter. Jamaica had brought a superstar in the women's race as

:02:58. > :03:01.well. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and her team were out on their own. But

:03:02. > :03:08.England also qualified, as did Wales. It has not just on a night of

:03:09. > :03:14.celebrities printers, there has been action in the field as well. Luke

:03:15. > :03:21.Cutts failed at five metres 55, leaving his fellow Englishman with a

:03:22. > :03:27.chance for gold. And Steve Lewis took it. It was England's first gold

:03:28. > :03:31.in this event. In the high jump, Isobel Pooley took what she called a

:03:32. > :03:38.leap of faith with the bar at one metre 92. The Englishwoman got the

:03:39. > :03:41.silver medal. Australian Eleanor Patterson took gold. Little was

:03:42. > :03:48.expected of Jade Lally in the discus. But a seasons best of more

:03:49. > :03:57.than 60 metres got her a bronze. Scotland's big hope was Lynsey

:03:58. > :04:05.Sharp, going in the 800m. STEVE CRAM: Who is going to come

:04:06. > :04:08.second? Silver for Scotland! The emotion of the moment was magnified

:04:09. > :04:15.by illness and injury in her build-up. Even this morning I was in

:04:16. > :04:22.hospital in the village until 5.30 this morning. This was my

:04:23. > :04:26.everything, and I had not slept at all. There was no way I was not

:04:27. > :04:30.going to get a medal today. In the final race of the evening, Tiffany

:04:31. > :04:36.Porter of England was up against Sally Pearson of Australia. Sally

:04:37. > :04:41.Pearson took it. Hampden Park has been rivalled by the Hydro, just

:04:42. > :04:48.behind me, for passion and performances in these past few days.

:04:49. > :04:56.Claudia Fragapane has got four gold medals. There were also golds for

:04:57. > :05:02.Daniel Purvis and Nile Wilson, as Natalie Pirks reports. The smile

:05:03. > :05:07.sparkles as brightly as the gold medals she cannot stop winning.

:05:08. > :05:10.Today, Claudia Fragapane made Commonwealth Games history at just

:05:11. > :05:23.16. The nerves of her parents were severely tested on the beam, her

:05:24. > :05:28.least favourite piece of apparatus. And that is a new dismount she has

:05:29. > :05:32.been working on. The crowd seemed to love it, but what do the judges

:05:33. > :05:37.think I know it was not enough, and she could only finish fifth. But the

:05:38. > :05:42.floor was up next, and in that, she is world-class. Her mother could not

:05:43. > :05:56.watch, and her sis Ilion dad looked on nervously. Her performance used

:05:57. > :06:04.class. She maybe just four feet seven, but her family is large. They

:06:05. > :06:10.were watching on back at home. When gold was confirmed... It was the

:06:11. > :06:15.reaction of a family whose star gymnast has just won the most golds

:06:16. > :06:22.of any British woman in a single Games for 84 years. I am only 16 and

:06:23. > :06:30.it has just been great betting four gold medals. Her proud parents

:06:31. > :06:38.cannot quite find the words. I thought she rate. Winning two, three

:06:39. > :06:54.and four, words do not... I cannot believe it myself. Fragapane had

:06:55. > :07:03.funds and fraud at every leap. -- fans enthralled. Wilson was awarded

:07:04. > :07:09.gold for his higher execution score, but Jim Thomas getting the silver.

:07:10. > :07:17.And Dan Purvis won Scotland's second gymnastics gold in the parallel

:07:18. > :07:23.bars. Perfect form ahead of the World Championships in October.

:07:24. > :07:26.Another teenager triumphed at the Royal Commonwealth Pool. 19-year-old

:07:27. > :07:32.Jack Laugher won his second gold of the Games, in the synchronised

:07:33. > :07:36.springboard. He is fast making a name for himself in the diving

:07:37. > :07:42.world, to rival Tom Daley, who got silver in the synchronised 10m

:07:43. > :07:45.platform event. Tom Daley was the man the crowd were cramming into the

:07:46. > :07:54.Royal Commonwealth Pool to see this evening. He was competing for the

:07:55. > :07:58.first time alongside James Denny, the duo having hardly trained

:07:59. > :08:02.together. So, it was a slow start, but they began to improve when it

:08:03. > :08:08.mattered. Their final routine was near-perfect, seeing them climb from

:08:09. > :08:17.fourth to second. But the Australian power grab gold. Really happy. All I

:08:18. > :08:21.could remember, I just said to James, give it everything, give it

:08:22. > :08:28.all you have got, because who knows, anything can happen in diving. Jack

:08:29. > :08:31.Laugher had already won gold and silver, going into the synchronised

:08:32. > :08:38.event with Chris Mears. They were favourites, and they led from the

:08:39. > :08:43.start. Their team-mates came third. In the women's one metre

:08:44. > :08:48.competition, Scotland had the chance to win their first Commonwealth

:08:49. > :08:54.diving medal since 1958. Grace Reid made an impressive start, but

:08:55. > :08:59.slipped down to fifth. Jennifer Abele of Canada claimed gold.

:09:00. > :09:04.England now have eight medals from these Commonwealth Games, beating

:09:05. > :09:09.their previous best of six. There is the prospect of more on the final

:09:10. > :09:15.day here in Edinburgh. Tom Daley goes again, in the individual 10m

:09:16. > :09:22.platform event. Next, another sport which involves absolute precision.

:09:23. > :09:28.Lawn bowls has the most picturesque backdrop at the Games. Today, Darren

:09:29. > :09:37.Burnett got gold in the singles, and the team will also victorious. Rishi

:09:38. > :09:41.Persad reports. The lawn bowls came to a climax at the Kelvin Grove

:09:42. > :09:45.centre, with three gold medals up for grabs. It was a day to remember

:09:46. > :09:58.for Team Scotland. In the men's fours, the team dominated England.

:09:59. > :10:04.The men in red and white shook hands with the score at 16-8. Foster and

:10:05. > :10:09.Marshall were winning their second gold of the games, following the

:10:10. > :10:11.men's pair. Things got even better for Scotland with Darren Burnett, a

:10:12. > :10:17.policeman from Arbroath, taking the gold medal in the men's singles, to

:10:18. > :10:21.add to his world indoor title which he won earlier this year. The

:10:22. > :10:27.38-year-old was in complete control of his game. He overpowered his

:10:28. > :10:32.Canadian opponent, Ryan Bester. Earlier, Natalie Melmore and

:10:33. > :10:38.Jamie-Lea Winch came up just short in a dramatic encounter against

:10:39. > :10:42.South Africa in the women's pairs. Northern Ireland defeated Jersey in

:10:43. > :10:47.the battle for bronze. And so ends an extremely successful Games for

:10:48. > :10:57.the lawn bowlers of the Home Nations. Every player won a medal.

:10:58. > :11:01.Scotland won three goals. -- golds. And some of the other stories in the

:11:02. > :11:06.headlines - England's women's hockey team have made it through to the

:11:07. > :11:12.final tomorrow, after a thrilling semifinal win over New Zealand. New

:11:13. > :11:19.Zealand equalised late on, taking the game to penalties. Bogey putt

:11:20. > :11:26.Maddie Hinch was the hero. -- goalkeeper Maddie Hinch. Paddy

:11:27. > :11:28.Barnes is one of four boxers from Northern Ireland to have booked

:11:29. > :11:33.their place in a gold medal match tomorrow. He beat his Ugandan

:11:34. > :11:38.opponent in the bronze medal match today. These have been a record

:11:39. > :11:47.Games for Northern Ireland, with nine boxers guaranteed medals. One

:11:48. > :11:51.she made it through to the gold medal flyweight match, on a split

:11:52. > :11:59.decision. She will face Nicola Adams tomorrow.

:12:00. > :12:08.Teenage Nigerian weightlifter Chika Amalaha has been stripped of her

:12:09. > :12:16.medal following a failed drugs test. Her result was nullified. The gold

:12:17. > :12:21.medal has been awarded to the competitor from Papua New Guinea. A

:12:22. > :12:24.teenager making headlines for different reasons is 15-year-old

:12:25. > :12:28.Tin-Tin Ho, who is guaranteed at least a silver medal in the table

:12:29. > :12:32.tennis mixed doubles, alongside partner Liam Pitchford, after they

:12:33. > :12:39.knocked out the title favourites, from Singapore. They will face Paul

:12:40. > :12:50.and Joanna Drinkhall, in an all English final tomorrow.

:12:51. > :12:55.When it comes to women's table tennis, nobody in the Commonwealth

:12:56. > :13:03.can touch Singapore. A clean sweep in the singles for the third Games

:13:04. > :13:09.in a row. Just like in Delhi in 2010, the women's singles was won.

:13:10. > :13:13.The men's doubles was the only one they missed out on four years ago,

:13:14. > :13:22.but they put that right, by beating the Indian pair. If there was a gold

:13:23. > :13:28.medal for celebrating, then the number four seed is definitely won

:13:29. > :13:34.that. So, gold and bronze for Singapore although the Indians still

:13:35. > :13:42.made it onto the top step. Unlike their gymnast Kumar, who did not get

:13:43. > :13:47.on quite so well. The silver medallist from 2010 went home

:13:48. > :13:52.empty-handed. As did the Malawi netball team. But they have

:13:53. > :13:58.impressed in Glasgow, beating South Africa in a fifth-place play-off.

:13:59. > :14:10.And this was their post-match celebrations. They were not the only

:14:11. > :14:20.ones leaving Scotland with a smile. But marks in synchronised diving

:14:21. > :14:26.were not too high on this particular occasion. With just two days of

:14:27. > :14:38.competition left, England stay top of the table.

:14:39. > :14:46.Scotland have 17 gold medals. Their previous record was 11.

:14:47. > :14:52.Now, we have been taking a look behind the scenes of the

:14:53. > :14:55.Commonwealth Games on this show, with our reporter Chris McLaughlin.

:14:56. > :14:59.The Friendly Games are living up to their reputation, aren't they? They

:15:00. > :15:07.are indeed. Euan Burton, with a fantastic story. The first ever

:15:08. > :15:14.medal for the country of Kiribati. And it was a gold. What a great

:15:15. > :15:19.picture. Jessica Lloyd has bagged silver and bronze in Glasgow, but a

:15:20. > :15:22.member of staff gave her a gold to complete the set - chocolate, of

:15:23. > :15:29.course. And Phoebe Richards, Welsh hockey player, treated this

:15:30. > :15:36.post-Commonwealth Games treat - muffins in the ice bath. More from

:15:37. > :15:40.you in a moment. There were some striking images in the papers for

:15:41. > :15:46.tomorrow as well. This is the sport section of the guardian. Nicola

:15:47. > :15:57.Adams, on track to win first ever female gold in boxing, says the

:15:58. > :16:02.paper. And in the Times, it richer of Claudia Fragapane. And the back

:16:03. > :16:13.page of the express also has Fragapane.

:16:14. > :16:21.No Bolt in the newspapers, but it has been his day, very much. I was

:16:22. > :16:25.down at Hampden today and there was a buzz around the place. Everybody

:16:26. > :16:28.was just saying, do not drop the baton. He confirmed that he does

:16:29. > :16:34.like Glasgow, the Glaswegians are happy. Said all of the reports were

:16:35. > :16:44.nonsense. He is a happy man, and winning, and fast! Thank you very

:16:45. > :16:48.much. That is it from, love games sports day, on the day when

:16:49. > :16:58.England's Claudia Fragapane got her fourth gold medal. The 16-year-old

:16:59. > :17:00.is in the record Books. Good night from Glasgow.
