turned but trust me, we have a sensational Saturday evening in | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
store. We have had a great time so far, with highs, lows, emotion and | :01:09. | :01:20. | |
drama. But the party has not ended yet. Headline acts are still to | :01:21. | :01:33. | |
come. And the biggest star of all is on the block stash Usain Bolt. -- is | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
on the blocks, Usain Bolt. The rain has been falling all day in | :01:37. | :01:59. | |
Glasgow. The track at Hampden is drenched. They are doing their best | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
to remove the water. Rollers and all sorts of things. At present, the | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
athletics is on time, but field events have been delayed by 45 | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
minutes. We are hopeful. Knowing Usain Bolt, he could win in his | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
wellingtons. Then again, in the relay, you never know. Usain Bolt | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
and Jamaica are favourites to take the gold medal. Adam Gemili, | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
silver-medallist in the 100 metres, leads the England line-up. It is the | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
Williams team on Jodie and Bianca who lead the way for England in the | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
women's 100 metres relay. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is expected to win gold | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
with her Jamaican team. 2006 triple jump champion Phillips Idowu is back | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
and hopeful of winning a gold medal again. And in the women's 5000 | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
metres, the rising staffer England, Emilia Gorecka, has a medal in her | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
sights. -- rising star. This is how your Saturday night looks. | :03:28. | :03:48. | |
Usain Bolt goes in the latter relay. We will also bring you diving with | :03:49. | :04:01. | |
Tom Daley. When we go to BBC Two, we will concentrate on boxing. Amir | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Khan will join us for that. Next, athletics, featuring the women's | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
5000, men's 1500 metres and the relays. Usain Bolt later, as well. | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
Just to say if you want to watch Tom Daley in the 10m platform diving, it | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
will be live on BBC Three just before 7:30pm. The boxing finals | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
continue from now until 10pm on the red button. Let's get to Hampden for | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the athletics. Gabby Logan. Tom Daley, if he hung around for a | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
view more hours, he could be diving into some of the wells of water that | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
have built up. It is a damp and grey and windy Hampden this evening, | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
which is a shame, because it has managed largely to stay dry. We have | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
seen fantastic performances. Let's hope it does not inhibit those. The | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
field events have been delayed by 45 minutes. They will hope to get going | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
with the pole vault and triple jumper. To further dampen the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
spirits, we have to start with negative news. Amantle Montsho, she | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
was the Olympic champion and came second last year in the tussle with | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
Christine Ohuruogu. She has tested positive and she will have a second | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
sample tested next week in London. Any drug story that comes to a major | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
championship with an athlete of her credentials is disappointing, but | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
she has been at the forefront of fantastic races with Christine | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Ohuruogu. It has come as a shock. She has been one of the faces of the | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Commonwealth Games coming into this and it was announced today that she | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
tested positive today, for a substance which I think is a | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
stimulant, a diuretic, used in some diet supplements. It will rather | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
bleak come with a shorter band. In the past, people who have failed | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
tests for that, it has been a six-month ban. They have two test | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
for it because it can be used as a masking agent. We do not know what | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
the situation was here. We do not know anything beyond what was | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
announced. I was trying to find more information. That is the issue with | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
sport. Once that happens, regardless of which sport, it will take you for | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
the rest of your career and it should. That should be the warning | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
to the athlete, you are responsible for what you put in your body. And | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
she will wear that cloak now, that she has tested positive. It is a | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
negative that will follow her. It does not leave. It is awful for her | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
and for the sport. The drugs issue needs to be sorted out. Onto more | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
positive things. The women's 5000 metres. The athletes are being | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
announced. It does not look like it is raining. Gorecka, she is the | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
future of distance running in this country. The European Junior 3000 | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
metres champion last year. Jo Pavey also going and Helen Clitheroe. It | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
should be a good race. We can get down to the track with Steve Cram | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
and Brendan Foster. Steve Cram: Laura Whittle just being | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
introduced. The rain is holding off. Brendan and I looked across and | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
there is black cloud, looking as if it is ready to descend on Hampden. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
Most of these runners will be used to the conditions, maybe not the | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Kenyan is as much, but they have a good cross country background. Janet | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
Kisa is one of three pretty good Kenyans. People will look to them in | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
terms of medals. This young lady is having a big season, Jessica | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
O'Connell from Canada. The Canadians have done well with middle and long | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
distance athletes. Mercy Cherono, the silver-medallist last year at | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
the World Championships in Moscow, she will be the favourite. Emilia | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
Gorecka, a big talent, 20 years of age. Representing England. She is on | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
the inside. Jo Pavey and Helen Clitheroe, two England's greatest | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
athletes. Beth Potter also going. It is great to see Stephanie Twell. She | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
had a brilliant Commonwealth Games in Delhi, winning in the 1500 | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
metres, and medal. -- winning a medal. Three for Scotland. Three | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
going for England. And the three Kenyans, who will be the ones who | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
will undoubtably be the ones everybody is looking to. I should | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
have mentioned Sarah Murcier of Guernsey and Elinor Kirk running for | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Wales. Brendan, perfect running whether! Perfect distance running | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
conditions. We have had the rain. They have swept the track. It looks | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
OK on the inside. These runners setting off on the journey, 12.5 | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
laps. It looks fairly pedestrian at the moment. The England team on the | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
outside. Jo Pavey, and very familiar sight. We have two 40-year-old is | :10:21. | :10:30. | |
running together. And on the inside, the 20-year-old, Emilia Gorecka. You | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
could not learn from to better athletes. They have been medallists | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
in the Commonwealth Games. Helen and Jo Pavey. Helen was silver-medallist | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
behind Kelly Holmes back in 2002. Jo Pavey looking comfortable, back into | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
action after the birth of her second child in September. Getting ready to | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
go again on the roads and in the country and on the track today. She | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
was chosen for the 5000 and 10,000, but she chose just the 5000. The | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
three Scottish athletes in the group, Beth Potter, Stephanie Twell | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
and Laura Whittle. The pace is fairly easy. The experienced Helen | :11:18. | :11:27. | |
Clitheroe decides you do not get many chances. She has decided to | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
Clitheroe decides you do not get move it along because it was so | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
slow. I wonder, when you look at the events that have been held here so | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
far. This is the penultimate distance event. The men's also this | :11:42. | :11:51. | |
evening. Janet Kisa is less experienced on the track. Margaret | :11:52. | :12:03. | |
Muriuki, she has only run one 5000 this year. Interesting selection | :12:04. | :12:15. | |
from the Kenyans. And now, for other runners, there might be a medal. Jo | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
Pavey likes medals and will be happy to be amongst it. Mercy Cherono is | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
the favourite. She is the outstanding athlete. She is quicker | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
than the others and was medallist in the World Championships last year. | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
There are not many better than her. The group, you can see they are | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
beginning to pull away. Helen Clitheroe, very experienced. Doing | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
the 1500 metres, as well, I remember. And she ran the | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
steeplechase. She has had a great career. Still going strong. Jo Pavey | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
has renewed again, and she wants another go at the marathon. | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
career. Still going strong. Jo Pavey has renewed again, and she wants But | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
I still think there are medals available in this race. Janet Kisa | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
is leading Mercy Cherono. Mercy Cherono has had a good season. I | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
watched her at the beginning of the year, 3000 metres, a superfast race | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
for the beginning of the season. She was narrowly beaten that night. That | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
time, 8.21, it showed the form she would bring to the summer season. | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
She has been running well. Mercy Cherono, her worst race might have | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
been her last one coming into these championships. All of a sudden, the | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
best athlete in the field decides enough is enough. And off she goes, | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
Mercy Cherono. She is followed by her team-mates. You can understand | :13:57. | :14:07. | |
Mercy Cherono. She knows these athletes and she knows she has the | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
beating of them and she has decided I am going to run like I am going to | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
run. The distance runners, they train on the track, run repetitions, | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
sometimes five laps, occasionally more, but a new injection of pace. | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
Jo Pavey has decided to do something about it. She has to chase it she | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
wants the medal. Emilia Gorecka, the European junior champion, following | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
behind, Jo Pavey encouraging her. Letting her come through. The pace | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
that was injected down the back straight by Mercy Cherono has been | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
given away. She has slowed down. The field has caught up. 69 seconds, the | :14:52. | :15:02. | |
lap. The slowest lap was in 83, that was a 69, and off she goes again. | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
She can play with the field. I think Mercy Cherono has a lot to spare, | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
even with her team-mates. She might not be doing her team-mates a favour | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
because she would want them to go away. Particularly Janet Kisa, who | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
might come under threat from anybody else, if she is not on form. She is | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
the third of the Kenyans. Just ahead of Jo Pavey. The Canadians have come | :15:30. | :15:46. | |
here and done very well. Jessica O'Connell has had a big | :15:47. | :15:47. | |
here and done very well. Jessica O'Connell has had a personal best | :15:48. | :15:48. | |
this year, she has jumped forward. O'Connell has had a personal best | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
this year, she has jumped Sometimes athletes have years like that, then | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
they can come here, like Emelia Gorecka, improving, learning the | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
5000 metres. That group will want to work together to try to make sure | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
based day in contact with the third of the Kenyans. The Canadians have | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
one more goal stun England in the track and field. We only have two | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
more individual events left, and England, for the first time since | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
1958, not one English runner has one and individual gold medal in the | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
Commonwealth Games. It is time to have a look and think about which | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
runners were missing, we are only missing Mo Farah. They have done | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
well at the field events, but only the second time since the | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
Commonwealth Games began that the English runners have not won a gold | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
medal yet. I do not see them winning in this event or in the men's 1500. | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
Five pulling away. Jo Pavey and Anna Louise Wellings. A gap to Emelia | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
Gorecka and Jessica O'Connell. Emelia Gorecka working really hard. | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
This is really good running from Jo Pavey. What a story this would be. | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
They are lapping the first of the runners. We saw in the men's 10,000, | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
it can be an issue in the latter stages. Mercy Cherono following her | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
team-mate. Margaret Muriuki is the leader. Janet Kisa in third place. | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
Then, Jo Pavey and Eloise Wellings. These five have a ten metre gap in | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
front of Emelia Gorecka. Jo Pavey is running well, her confidence is | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
increasing. Emelia Gorecka running very well. The European junior | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
cross-country champion, she has got a bright future. This is a good | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
introduction for her. She is looking down the track, she can see the | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
experience of Jo Pavey. They are not going to outfox her. She looks | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
comfortable and smooth. I do think there is a medal here. It would be a | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
great story if she could snatch a medal. Mercy Cherono will be the one | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
to beat. The other Kenyans are not the best in the world. Jo Pavey is | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
getting the boost in confidence. I am surprised that there are only | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
five in the group, because the pace is not that fast. It would be | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
personal best territory for Emelia Gorecka, around 15 minutes, they are | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
running that now. Given that the first 1000 metres was | :18:43. | :18:55. | |
so slow, you would have thought that maybe one or two others would have | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
taken the risk, but it is Jo Pavey and Eloise Wellings with the | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
Kenyans. The pace will pick up again. But it is great to see Jo | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
Pavey there, what a career, 1500 metres, flirting with the marathon | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
as well. She knows how to race. When she is fit and healthy, the one | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
thing you could always say about her, she knows how to race. | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Absolutely right. She is doing it again today. I am looking round the | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
stadium, there are lots of Scots people, and an awful lot of English | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
people. You can see the English fans unfurling their flags and starting | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
to wave them. Red-and-white flags around the place, and loads of blue | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
ones. Beth Potter leading the Scottish contingent. Laura Whittle | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
there. Steph Twell is struggling. Elinor Kirk of Wales going through. | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
It is tough out there, it has been a long slog. 12, these last few | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
years, since that horrific injury. A long way behind. The leading group | :20:05. | :20:20. | |
is forging ahead now. The last lap, it has slowed down a little again, | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
which will play into the hands of the kickers, and whether or not Jo | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Pavey has got the sort of place that can win her a medal. Galloway 's | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Wellings will be a danger. She is looking fairly comfortable. Look at | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
Jo Pavey, determination on her face, she looks at the school board, which | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
tells how there are three laps to go. She hits the front for the first | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
time. A great inspiration. She is having a go. She knows her strength | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
is her biggest asset. She wants to test them, she wants to run as a | :21:01. | :21:14. | |
three. She is working very hard. The St George flags flying all over the | :21:15. | :21:23. | |
pace. Remember, Mercy Cherono, she was the World Championship silver | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
medallist last year. Jo Pavey has been a European silver medallist and | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
a Commonwealth silver medallist. A yard or two opening, come on, Jo | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
Pavey. Let's hope she can get a medal. Could it be a gold-medal? It | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
is brave rate -- running from Jo Pavey, she is putting pressure on. | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
Look at Eloise Wellings, looking stronger. Janet Kisa is moving up. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
Margaret Muriuki still looks comfortable. Two laps to go. Jo | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
Pavey leading the 5000 metres final. Eloise Wellings just beginning to | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
look as though this is becoming hard work for her. It is about turning | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
the screw, building the pressure, trying to get rid of them, one by | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
one. 700 metres to go. She responded when she saw that there were two | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
laps to go. That is 800 metres, that is what you do on the track when you | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
are preparing for this. She is settling down. Here comes and Louise | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
Wellings. Is Mercy Cherono waiting? 600 metres left. Jo Pavey has too | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
many athletes around her. Jo Pavey will try to dig in, but look at | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Eloise Wellings. It is not a good sign that Jo Pavey is looking | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
behind. It will be the bell. Mercy Cherono looks very comfortable. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
Margaret Muriuki knows she has got to get into place. Jo Pavey is not | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
giving this up, she is not going to let them burn it up without giving | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
get at least one more try. Jo Pavey at the front again. What an | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
inspirational run. She is testing the Kenyans athletes, she wants a | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
medal. There is a medal available, keep driving. Mercy Cherono is | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
waiting. I wonder why she would not attack earlier. Jo Pavey, 40 jurors | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
old, she is an inspiration to all of the British distant runners. But she | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
has three Kenyans for company. There goes Mercy Cherono. This crowd of | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
roaring Jo Pavey on, can she hang onto one of them? Can she give | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
herself a chance? They are kicking away. She will not give it up. Jo | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
Pavey is still hanging on. 40 years of age, can she get their? Here she | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
comes! Mercy Cherono will win the gold medal, but look at Jo Pavey! | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
Come on, Jo Pavey! She is going to be OK, a bronze medal. A brilliant | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
performance. Mercy Cherono is a great champion, she was the | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
favourite, but who could have believed that Jo Pavey would stir up | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
all of the old memories, give us all something to cheer about? For | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
everybody sitting at home who has probably thought, my days have gone | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
by. Not Jo Pavey. She decided not to run the 10,000 metres, what a good | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
decision. Concentrate on the 5000. She had a go at 800 metres, then | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
they came past her. She had a go at 400 metres, they came past her. But | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
she did not give up. A brilliant run. Jo Pavey, an inspiration to so | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
many. Laura Whittle has said, how did you do? For Helen Clitheroe and | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
Jo Pavey, they have been such stalwarts, they have won medals in | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
the past, she was wonderful at the Olympic Games, and any legal reckon | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
will have her day. That might be one of Jo Pavey's best runs of her | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
career. Not the quickest in terms of producing personal bests, but what a | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
gutsy run. Steph Twell crosses the line. You love that, like I did. It | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
was fantastic. Mercy Cherono what the class athlete. She waited and | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
waited. Have we ever been more inspired by a distance race ban | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
that? Jo Pavey collecting the flag, I told you there were lots of St | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
George flags. She is soaking up the cheers and the pride. That was | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
absolutely fantastic, I loved that. Mercy Cherono is a class athlete, | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
you could not see anybody beating her, but Jo Pavey, you thought she | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
had it at times. You would not want to finish in fourth place at the end | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
of that. She has deserved every single ounce of that. How many | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
people are getting their running shoes on at home? Wait until we have | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
seen the 1500 metres, then go out for a run. If Jo Pavey can do it, | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
she is such a star. We love her, well done. There will be a lot of | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
tears. I bet her husband Gavin and her coach, he gets as emotional as | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
anybody does. He will be somewhere, and her son, Jacob. He should be | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
very proud of his monster night. Paula, that might give you some | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
inspiration! Absolutely, that was brilliant, I am so pleased for her. | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
She has been here before, she has won a silver medal before, but that | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
will mean the most, because she worked hard. She judged it | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
perfectly, she went to the front, she injected a bit of pace, but she | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
did not put all of her effort in. She kept a bit there. I am sure she | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
took a lot of energy from the crowd tonight. We could feel it when she | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
hit the front the first time, and when she went again just before the | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
bell, they really got behind her. She was not going to give up on the | :27:51. | :27:56. | |
medal. Do not forget, she started out as a 1500 metre runner, I | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
remember racing against her when we were 14. She said the English | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
schools record. She did not come late in her career. She has had a | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
very long career. The big thing about her, she loves racing and she | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
loves going out there. You ask how long she will keep doing it, she | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
says, as long as I can stay competitive and as long as my family | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
do not mind the sacrifices. Gavin is so supportive of her. And the | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
children. It is working at the moment. She is allowing the field to | :28:34. | :28:43. | |
come past her. We were hoping she was not tired, that she had not | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
given her whole effort, but she made a smart move, she was giving herself | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
a bit of breathing space to gather herself. Mercy Cherono was playing | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
the field. She could have won this race however she pleased. | :29:02. | :29:04. | |
herself. Mercy Cherono was playing the field. She could have But Jo | :29:05. | :29:06. | |
Pavey ran the smartest race to give her the chance of picking up a | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
medal, and here she goes. At the bell, back into the front, and you | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
can hear the role of the crowd. Mercy Cherono gathers herself. Janet | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
Kisa and Margaret Muriuki responded. Eloise Wellings is struggling now to | :29:22. | :29:28. | |
maintain contact. Jo Pavey is digging deep, she knows they are | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
queueing up behind her. She will be aware of that. At this minute, she | :29:32. | :29:38. | |
is saying, let them come by. Get in behind as much as you can, gather a | :29:39. | :29:48. | |
bit of energy from the crowd, and she is probably thinking about Jacob | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
and Emily, I would think. They are probably here, she wants them to be | :29:53. | :29:59. | |
really proud. She knows how much sacrifice they have all put in. It | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
is great to see her kicking like that. The pace is still there when | :30:03. | :30:10. | |
she wanted badly enough. I really thought she was going to go right | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
through into the silver medal position, but she could not quite | :30:14. | :30:18. | |
get there. She could not quite get back to Janet Kisa. A thoroughly | :30:19. | :30:25. | |
deserved bronze medal. I am really happy for her. For Jo Pavey it has | :30:26. | :30:41. | |
been a long journey over the past few years. When you start a family, | :30:42. | :30:47. | |
her daughter is the youngest, sometimes your athletics... There is | :30:48. | :30:53. | |
Gavin. Well done coach, well done husband! Gavin and Jo Pavey have | :30:54. | :31:04. | |
been a great team together. Sometimes you think, is it worth | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
it? Shall I keep going? I am so pleased for her. When you were | :31:08. | :31:16. | |
watching on the last lap. There were three Kenyans ahead. She lost three | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
yards. She could have easily given up and thought, I have run pretty | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
well and come home in fourth, that is not too bad. But she was | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
desperate for a medal and she deserved a medal. And that is her | :31:29. | :31:38. | |
happy son Jacob. They have done a great job as a team, Jo Pavey and | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
Gavin. These are moments you will never forget. | :31:42. | :31:48. | |
Inspiration on so many levels. We talk about Emilia Gorecka, the | :31:49. | :31:56. | |
future. Jo Pavey can do what she wants. If she feels she can run like | :31:57. | :32:03. | |
that, 41 next month, we might see her for a few seasons more. What | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
inspiration for anybody who thinks they might be passed it, there you | :32:08. | :32:14. | |
go, you are not. A little girl, not even one yet. Anybody who has had a | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
baby in the past year will appreciate it takes a lot to get | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
yourself back will stop if you are inspired, go to the BBC sport | :32:23. | :32:30. | |
website. There are lots of details on how you can join clubs in a range | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
of sports near you. It is well worth visiting. We are inspired by that | :32:36. | :32:41. | |
performance. What a fantastic last couple of laps, Michael? To hang in | :32:42. | :32:48. | |
the way she did. I do not know anything about 5000 metre running | :32:49. | :32:54. | |
but I am sure that was smart from a tactical standpoint. Taking the lead | :32:55. | :32:58. | |
and being out there and having the Kenyans comeback, it is | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
disheartening will stop to wait until she came out on the stretch, | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
knowing exactly how much she had left, very smart tactics. Good on | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
her. That was fantastic and certainly inspiration. Denise Lewis: | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
We have come through the ranks together, English schools, the | :33:20. | :33:27. | |
junior age group together. It is so admirable and courageous when | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
someone decides to carry on for the length of time she has and pick and | :33:31. | :33:38. | |
choose. She found her real niche. It is the grit and determination. It is | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
the sacrifices that makes her such a popular character. She is so funny. | :33:45. | :33:51. | |
Paula Radcliffe: She is not just mother to Jacob and Emily, the girls | :33:52. | :33:59. | |
out there, Steph, Emilia, they will take advice and is narration. She is | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
going for both in the European Championships and another big chance | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
to pick up a medal over 5000 and 10,000 metres. She is intending to | :34:09. | :34:14. | |
double up at the European Championship 's, which begin next | :34:15. | :34:21. | |
week. We can head over to the start of the 1500 metres, the men's. We | :34:22. | :34:27. | |
have a double winner on the commentary team, Steve Cram. He won | :34:28. | :34:33. | |
in 1982 and 1986. It is always a good opportunity to look in the | :34:34. | :34:39. | |
archives and see Steve Cram in Brisbane, running away from the | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
field for the gold medal. Hopefully we will be able to see 1986 as well. | :34:45. | :34:52. | |
Doubling up, he did the 800 and 1500. Paula? Absolutely. I am sure | :34:53. | :35:06. | |
he will have opinions about the race that is to come. I am interested to | :35:07. | :35:18. | |
see how Ronald Kwemoi will perform. I can never tell whether he is | :35:19. | :35:21. | |
delighted or embarrassed when we look at the archives. | :35:22. | :35:29. | |
I hate being reminded about the race in 1986 because John Gladwin almost | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
caught me by surprise, which is why I look relieved when I finished. A | :35:34. | :35:38. | |
good race tonight with a good British contingent. This man, you | :35:39. | :35:48. | |
saw the great John Walker in the archive footage. Nick Willis has | :35:49. | :35:53. | |
taken his 1500 metres record and has a chance of a medal. He is a former | :35:54. | :36:02. | |
Commonwealth champion. That was one of his team in the crowd. Johan | :36:03. | :36:09. | |
Cronje. He has been collecting South Africa records, as well. Julian | :36:10. | :36:12. | |
Matthews, the other athlete from New Zealand. In 1974, the great athlete | :36:13. | :36:25. | |
who broke the world record, this man is from the same country. And | :36:26. | :36:43. | |
Kiplagat Magut. And one other good athlete, Ronald Kwemoi. That is | :36:44. | :36:49. | |
Ronald Musagala from Uganda. Chris O'Hare, from Scotland, Charlie | :36:50. | :36:56. | |
Grice, from England, two of our great talents at this distance, | :36:57. | :37:00. | |
competing in the common wealth games final. On the outside, the big | :37:01. | :37:08. | |
threat. Ronald Kwemoi, watch out for him. He has been taking the world by | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
storm recently. A massive improvement, coming out of nowhere. | :37:13. | :37:25. | |
Like Lynsey Sharp yesterday, do not be frightened, do not be scared, | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
there might be the chance of a medal. On the inside, Chris O'Hare, | :37:29. | :37:35. | |
he might have excelled in the indoor circuit in the United States, but he | :37:36. | :37:38. | |
grew up on the cross-country circuit in Scotland. Days like today, he is | :37:39. | :37:47. | |
used to, and he is running today in the blue riband event of the | :37:48. | :37:55. | |
Commonwealth Games. 1954, Roger Bannister won it. Since then the | :37:56. | :38:02. | |
greats have won it. Including Dave Moorcroft. Steve Cram has won it | :38:03. | :38:10. | |
twice, in two great performances. This is an event you would like if | :38:11. | :38:14. | |
you can get it. Today will be tough. Difficult to win medals. The leader | :38:15. | :38:26. | |
through the first 400 was Ronald Musagala. A decent pace but it has | :38:27. | :38:36. | |
slowed. Kwemoi is strong, only 18, but he has shown great assurance in | :38:37. | :38:41. | |
the Diamond League circuit. Johan Cronje sensing it is slowing, moving | :38:42. | :38:47. | |
up. Charlie Grice, checking in a little bit. He needs to be careful. | :38:48. | :38:56. | |
Nick Willis. He knows where to be, he is an experienced Commonwealth | :38:57. | :38:58. | |
Games champion, Olympic silver-medallist. Young Chris O'Hare | :38:59. | :39:05. | |
knows where to be. He is right behind Nick Willis. He is tracking | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
him and that is not a bad decision to make. If he can stick in there, | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
he will not be too far away. That is the first move. Still not too | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
excessive. There goes Johan Cronje on the outside. It creates panic | :39:22. | :39:31. | |
behind. Kwemoi and Magut, they are leading at the moment. Nick Willis | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
is looking for a room and starting to worry a little bit. Chris O'Hare | :39:38. | :39:42. | |
might want to think about where he is. Charlie Grice in a better | :39:43. | :39:48. | |
position as they take the bell. There are too many people there the | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
comfort. The Kenyans are in a line and you will have to come from a | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
long way back will stop Charlie Grice and Chris O'Hare, trying to | :39:58. | :40:04. | |
get some space. Johan Cronje is not giving up. Charlie Grice is running | :40:05. | :40:10. | |
a good race, but it is anybody's. Ronald Kwemoi hits the front. Chris | :40:11. | :40:17. | |
O'Hare of Scotland, around the top bend. Nick Willis is nowhere for New | :40:18. | :40:24. | |
Zealand. Johan Cronje, chasing down Kwemoi. Chris O'Hare is coming. He | :40:25. | :40:31. | |
looked behind, Kwemoi. Nick Willis, he has surely left it too late. He | :40:32. | :40:38. | |
will win? It is Magut, of Kenya. It is a Kenya 1-2. Magut, he wins from | :40:39. | :40:49. | |
Kwemoi, the youngster. If I was the New Zealand team management and in | :40:50. | :40:54. | |
Nick Willis's camp... Charlie Grice gave it his best, but Nick Willis, | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
look where he is in the replay with 200 to go. What was he doing? He can | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
finish quick and he finished quicker than anybody, but he could not catch | :41:06. | :41:12. | |
Magut. He must be wondering what he did. Did he let a title slip through | :41:13. | :41:18. | |
his fingers? He is experienced, he will be happy with the bronze medal, | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
but did he miss a chance to beat the two Kenyans? It was an interesting | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
race from every point of view. Nick Willis, a previous champion, | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
interestingly, we thought he had a chance today, but he was never in | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
contention. He could not win from where he set off to be. He ran a | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
sensible race until 600 metres to go and then he let it go. The | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
silver-medallist from Delhi has not done a lot since then, Magut. Kwemoi | :41:52. | :41:59. | |
was not able to handle it. We thought he would be the winner. An | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
interesting race. Three Kenyans in a line. Now you have decisions to | :42:04. | :42:10. | |
make. Nick Willis is starting to make bad decisions. Chris O'Hare, of | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
Scotland, not in a great place. Charlie Grice ran sensibly and gave | :42:15. | :42:21. | |
himself a chance, but you have to go past them, go wide, travelling, and | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
when they travel at speeds you have two injectable pace. I thought Nick | :42:28. | :42:30. | |
Willis came as one of the favourites. He is now in eighth on | :42:31. | :42:36. | |
the inside, not doing anything. Johan Cronje has a go and Charlie | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
Grice is hanging on. Still Chris O'Hare is coming. At this point | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
Chris gives them too much of a start. He is in fifth and is roared | :42:47. | :42:51. | |
on, he knows how to sprint, and suddenly, when they sprint, travels | :42:52. | :43:00. | |
too far. Johan Cronje in between the two. Kwemoi thought he had won it. | :43:01. | :43:09. | |
Nick Willis is fourth. He is so lucky that Johan Cronje was giving | :43:10. | :43:15. | |
up and slowing down. I think Johan Cronje should be disappointed with | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
that performance. There goes Kwemoi. I thought he could win it from here. | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
Johan Cronje ran well. Nick Willis, look at the gap. And here comes the | :43:26. | :43:34. | |
winner. Magut, of Kenya, the silver-medallist from Delhi turns it | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
into a gold medal on a rainy day in Scotland. Nick Willis was lucky | :43:39. | :43:50. | |
there. Kwemoi will continue to contest major championships. He | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
takes the silver medal. And again on the rostrum, Nick Willis. It is a | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
good bronze for New Zealand but he was so close. Chris Gowell of Wales, | :43:59. | :44:08. | |
finishing 10th. Eight good race. A Kenyan 1-2, again. -- it was a good | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
race. The men's javelin final is about to | :44:14. | :44:26. | |
start. The two men at the top are the favourites. Walcott is the | :44:27. | :44:39. | |
Olympic champion. The Welsh man, Lee Doran, looking to get in amongst | :44:40. | :44:45. | |
things. We can have a quick look back at the lead qualifier. | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
Something significant happened. This is the man who became the youngest | :44:50. | :44:54. | |
ever throw to become Olympic champion. This was the qualifying | :44:55. | :45:02. | |
from yesterday. He absolutely launched 85 metres, a | :45:03. | :45:04. | |
from yesterday. He absolutely launched 85 metres, lifetime best | :45:05. | :45:06. | |
and national record. He goes into the final certainly as favourite. | :45:07. | :45:31. | |
throwers. Difficult conditions here this evening. You can see the wet on | :45:32. | :45:35. | |
the floor. It has been a wet afternoon. And a delayed start for | :45:36. | :45:41. | |
the throwers. The man who learned to throw by watching juju. Technique | :45:42. | :45:47. | |
looking solid. The rest have got to follow that. | :45:48. | :46:04. | |
So, this is the man who threw that big throw in qualification. Oh, no. | :46:05. | :46:19. | |
Just seemed to pull away from that. It is not quite as far as he threw | :46:20. | :46:33. | |
yesterday. He will take the lead with that. | :46:34. | :46:43. | |
So, one of three Australian javelin throwers, the man from Tasmania. | :46:44. | :46:52. | |
First attempt. Again, a powerful throw. Not so good on the approach. | :46:53. | :46:58. | |
It looked like all upper body strength and power there. The | :46:59. | :47:08. | |
Tasmanian might like these conditions, a similar climate to | :47:09. | :47:13. | |
Scotland, down in Tasmania. He is an 82 metres man at his best. He goes | :47:14. | :47:16. | |
into second place. Another great final about to start, | :47:17. | :47:31. | |
men's triple jump. Phillips Idowu, took a step back from the event last | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
year, he is back. Joined by Nathan Fox and Nathan Douglas. And here he | :47:37. | :47:45. | |
is, the first attempt for Phillips Idowu. He has been training in | :47:46. | :47:52. | |
Australia. He did 16.70 in qualification yesterday, and looked | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
very good. This looks committed. It is. But was it good on the board? I | :47:58. | :48:04. | |
am not sure. Yes, it looked as though he had encroached on the | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
plasticine, and he had. Many had written off Phillips, but he is | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
back. I tell you what, this man is a fighter. Olympic silver medallist, a | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
world champion in the past, and he has won this event. 70 metres is | :48:19. | :48:25. | |
likely to be needed, and he has started off with a foul Mac. | :48:26. | :48:36. | |
GABBY LOGAN: We are getting ready on the track for the women's four x | :48:37. | :48:44. | |
400m final. Christine Ohuruogu is part of the England team. And that | :48:45. | :48:55. | |
is asked, in the studio. Just a quick line on Christine. Just | :48:56. | :49:00. | |
wondering, she will have heard the news about Montsho today. She did | :49:01. | :49:08. | |
run a 51.56 split. What would she have made of it, and will it be on | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
her mind? It will not be on her mind, she will be just disappointed | :49:14. | :49:17. | |
that, yet again, athletics is having another drug issue. She is so | :49:18. | :49:28. | |
respected in the team. She is now running the first leg, instead of | :49:29. | :49:31. | |
the fourth leg, in the heats. She will just want to get on with her | :49:32. | :49:58. | |
job. A quick line, Paula, on that 1500m. We it will be difficult to | :49:59. | :51:58. | |
catch. Christine Ohuruogu. She is not running back quickly. She has | :51:59. | :52:12. | |
been finding form recently. It is difficult to see who is out in front | :52:13. | :52:23. | |
at the moment. Bahamas got off to a terrible start. Christine Ohuruogu | :52:24. | :52:33. | |
has done well in the rain. Bahamas came through quickly at the end. It | :52:34. | :52:43. | |
is going to be anybody's game. Jamaica, you could almost hand the | :52:44. | :52:55. | |
gold medal to them. England, they have daylight between themselves and | :52:56. | :53:02. | |
the rest. She is flying through a curtain of rain. Very strong running | :53:03. | :53:10. | |
from Regina George the Nigeria. She might tire. She is holding on | :53:11. | :53:20. | |
strong. Jamaica, out in front. Anastasia Le-Roy taking it. George | :53:21. | :53:31. | |
getting in the way of England. The Australians have England in their | :53:32. | :53:39. | |
sights. The battle is being fought at the front. Nigeria not giving it | :53:40. | :54:03. | |
straight to Nigeria. What a challenge Nigeria are throwing down | :54:04. | :54:04. | |
here. What a run from Benjamin! challenge Nigeria are throwing down | :54:05. | :54:07. | |
here. What a run from Benjamin! She may give Nigeria the lead. But it is | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
the gold medallist for Jamaica, Stephanie O'Hare, who has it. And | :54:12. | :54:17. | |
here goes Anyika Onoura, for England. England at the moment, with | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
a decent lead over Australia. Morgan Mitchell has it for Australia, a | :54:22. | :54:24. | |
semifinalist in the individual event. But what a battle out front, | :54:25. | :54:33. | |
with Jamaica now hitting the front. Jamaica trying to restore the | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
natural order, with Stephanie O'Hare. England, a long way back in | :54:37. | :54:42. | |
third at the moment. It is a battle for gold and silver, through the | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
teeming rain on this Glasgow evening. It is Stephanie O'Hare, | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
told medallist in the individual, for Jamaica. The Nigerian is trying | :54:52. | :54:55. | |
to close, but Stephanie O'Hare has judged it well. It is going to be a | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
second gold medal for her, and gold for this Jamaican quartet. Nigeria | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
takes over. England come through to take the bronze. It pretty much went | :55:06. | :55:15. | |
according to script. But the time for Jamaica, a new Games record. As | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
we look at England celebrating their bronze medal. But Jamaica, what a | :55:20. | :55:27. | |
powerful quartet it was. A new Games record, taking the record of | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
Australia, which was set in Manchester in 2002. We thought | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
nobody would get close to them, but Nigeria did, for a few moments. They | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
take the silver, and England get bronze. | :55:41. | :55:49. | |
STEVE CRAM: We will be with the girls shortly, but there was another | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
medal to celebrate, it was in the 5,000m, and what a performance it | :55:54. | :55:56. | |
was from Jo Pavey. She is with Phil Jones. | :55:57. | :56:02. | |
Jo Pavey, congratulations, what a race, what a performance. Yes, it | :56:03. | :56:08. | |
feels a bit surreal. I did not believe I got a medal. I had to look | :56:09. | :56:12. | |
at the scoreboard. I cannot believe it. It was such a gutsy race from | :56:13. | :56:18. | |
you - you went past them once, they came back past you, you went past | :56:19. | :56:21. | |
then again, and still you did not give up the fight! Yes, I tried to | :56:22. | :56:28. | |
think, just don't regret this. The Kenyans are so good, but I thought, | :56:29. | :56:34. | |
no, keep focused and just try and beat them! My husband, my little | :56:35. | :56:38. | |
boy, my little girl, my mum and dad, and all my family. Everybody that | :56:39. | :56:43. | |
has helped me, the physios and everything. The list is endless. I | :56:44. | :56:52. | |
cannot believe it, I am so happy. The joy of being here in Scotland, | :56:53. | :56:58. | |
so close to home for you, is that all your family can be here, | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
including your son? Yes, it is really special. I am sure my little | :57:02. | :57:06. | |
girl will be watching as well. We debated whether to bring her but I | :57:07. | :57:10. | |
was well each would be terrified, because she is only ten months old. | :57:11. | :57:15. | |
Such a lovely atmosphere, and having the crowd so close, to be able to | :57:16. | :57:18. | |
give your family members a hug when you finish, it is a real bonus. I | :57:19. | :57:24. | |
did not know how realistic it would be to go well, but I wanted to do as | :57:25. | :57:30. | |
well as I could. I just wonder where this ranks, with all of the medals | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
you have won, in the Europeans, the Commonwealths, and the Olympics, | :57:36. | :57:39. | |
over the years? This is really special. To think that I am 40, and | :57:40. | :57:43. | |
I am a mother, with two young children, with a ten-month-old | :57:44. | :57:49. | |
baby, it seems almost funny to me! All the support I have had, it has | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
really allowed me to do it. It has been a tough summer, because at the | :57:54. | :57:59. | |
track, they are really helpful, but it has been shut all summer for | :58:00. | :58:05. | |
resurfacing, in Exeter, so the people in Yeovil and Plymouth have | :58:06. | :58:08. | |
been really helpful in letting the train. I did not think I would get a | :58:09. | :58:16. | |
medal just did unbelievable. You have been an inspiration to mums all | :58:17. | :58:24. | |
over the world, I am sure! Yes, and good luck to all running mums! Crowd | :58:25. | :58:31. | |
has been awesome, it is such an awesome Games. I feel very | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
fortunate. Thanks a lot. ANDREW COTTER: Well done to Jo | :58:37. | :58:40. | |
Pavey. Well done to the Jamaicans 4x400m quartet. Kenya and Jamaica | :58:41. | :58:46. | |
still slugging it out at the top of the athletics medals table. England | :58:47. | :58:51. | |
taking the bronze medal, behind Nigeria. As sometimes happens in the | :58:52. | :58:58. | |
4x400m, the changeover can be tricky. You have got tired | :58:59. | :59:02. | |
athletes, and the Nigerians, a couple of times, unwittingly, were | :59:03. | :59:07. | |
getting in the way a little bit of the English athletes. Not here, this | :59:08. | :59:10. | |
was fine. This was the first changeover. I can tell you about the | :59:11. | :59:16. | |
splits, they were even for the English athletes. We can see Regina | :59:17. | :59:21. | |
George coming in for Nigeria. It happens sometimes, Steve, doesn't | :59:22. | :59:26. | |
it? Yes, you are not allowed obviously to deliberately impede. | :59:27. | :59:31. | |
But the athletes are tired when they finish. I do not think there is | :59:32. | :59:36. | |
anything deliberate. It is part of 4x400m running that you have got to | :59:37. | :59:42. | |
avoid the incoming athletes. I am sure Michael will agree. Absolutely, | :59:43. | :59:46. | |
nothing deliberate. But I am sure people at home are wondering if | :59:47. | :59:49. | |
something could be done about this. There needs to be something in the | :59:50. | :59:53. | |
rules, better organisation by the referees down on the track, to | :59:54. | :59:58. | |
explain to those runners before they go out what the protocol should be, | :59:59. | :00:02. | |
so that they are not impeding people. I have seen people getting | :00:03. | :00:05. | |
hurt and injured in that type of situation. | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
ANDREW COTTER: And this is something Michael never had to worry about, | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
because he was about 100m ahead. The splits pretty even for the English | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
quartet, and that is what brought them home to a bronze medal. A good | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
race between Jamaica and Nigeria. Stephanie O'Hare, Gold medallist in | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
the individual, bringing Jamaica home. | :00:32. | :00:54. | |
is Julius Yego who we saw throw in the first round. He is powerful. Can | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
he do this in his third round? Yes, he can. Julius Yego, the javelin | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
comes out of your hand at about 70 mph and you can see it with the | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
naked eye. It was coming out of his hand quicker than everyone else. It | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
took him three rounds to get there, but Julius Yego looks as though he | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
may have gone into the lead. The Kenyan would there. He takes the | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
lead. Triple jump them. The South African. Very successful in the long | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
jump, he is focused on the treble. This is his second attempt. He kept | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
his speed at a high level through all three phases. Was not sure about | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
it. Looked very close to what may have been his lifetime best from | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
2005. Look at Mokoena looking at the measurements at the side. He knows | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
it was good. A seasoned's best and Mokoena is in the lead. -- a | :02:17. | :02:34. | |
seasoned's best. Can Phillips Idowu respond? He has a superb | :02:35. | :02:44. | |
Championship history. That looked better on the board, flat through | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
the jump phase, that was the difference between those two jumps, | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
I would suggest. Good through the hop and step, but almost collapsed | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
into the job. Ten centimetres behind. Watch this, good through | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
their, he keeps it going and does not get out into that jump. The | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
height we saw from Mokoena was not there. He is in fifth place. A medal | :03:13. | :03:22. | |
ceremony in very an Australian Weddle. White from Canada there. She | :03:23. | :03:32. | |
took the bronze medal -- weather. All the rest were racing for scraps | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
if you can call a bronze medal a scrap. Two women went into it as | :03:39. | :03:51. | |
favourites above the rest. It is the silver medal for England. She had | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
high hopes of gold after beating the eventual winner a couple of times | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
coming into this race but could not quite do it last night. The woman | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
who is about to be introduced was a in periods. -- was a victorious. -- | :04:12. | :04:40. | |
again. Tiffany Porter there defending her title -- Tiffany | :04:41. | :04:57. | |
Porter. No more fitting woman to do it than Sally. It is time for a bit | :04:58. | :05:14. | |
of advanced Australian fair inside Hampden Park. -- Sally Pearson. | :05:15. | :05:36. | |
Australian National Anthem. So much talked about the bombs in | :05:37. | :06:18. | |
her preparation, but she got over it all. -- about the troubles. Sally | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
Pearson. We are still in the second round of | :06:24. | :06:45. | |
the triple jump final and look at Tehran. Here is the second attempts | :06:46. | :06:58. | |
-- the rain. Oke is the defending champion and he looks like he means | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
business. Terrible conditions, but it is Beth Potter is biting through | :07:08. | :07:26. | |
that rain. -- macro Oke. -- Tosin Oke. He is in second place. The rain | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
is not letting up. It is not the kind of weather that we are used to | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
seeing. This is Glasgow and we have been blessed so far. We have had | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
some unseasonal weather. It is only fair that we finish with what is | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
traditionally a bit more Scottish weather. We are building up to the | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
four x 400 m relay and on paper there are four or five of those | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
quartets who will feel they can get into the medals. They all can. This | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
should be an exciting final, because there are a lot of evenly matched | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
teams. England is in it. With the rain, it will be miserable out | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
there, but they will have to put that behind them and hopefully we | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
will not see any change of problems. The rain can be dangerous. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
England has a good chance, Trinidad will be tough, the Bahamas have a | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
good team, they are extremely experienced. Chris Brown is great. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Some of the teams have changed their line-ups, the Australians have | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
changed. England have added in a different runner. Jamaica have | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
brought in two more new people. A bit of a change, Jamaica is strong, | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
but I think the Bahamas are the favourites. Scotland is in there. | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
The roar that we have become used to hearing when Scotland have any | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
athletes in these events will be there. Scotland are not expected to | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
get themselves amongst the medals. They will have a difficult time. It | :09:33. | :09:51. | |
will be a long start -- a long shot. The relay, it is difficult to judge. | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
Everyone looks like they are really far out there. Very difficult to | :09:57. | :10:08. | |
judge the pace. Do you think because of the slight tobacco in the | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
women's race, especially the Nigerian athletes -- slight | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
problems. Their management should have gone through the protocol. They | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
know when they reached the 200 mark they know where they should be. -- | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
reach. We were talking about it there, this is going to be one of | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
the most exciting races of the evening. It is so tight. The fact | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
that the bat is wet, that will add excitement. Scotland could have a | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
chance here. Let us hand you down to Steve Cram. I would not write | :10:58. | :11:07. | |
Scotland off. Scotland have a good team. The England team, Martyn | :11:08. | :11:17. | |
Rooney concentrating on the European Championships. Conrad Williams is | :11:18. | :11:27. | |
leading off very strong team from Trinidad. Is this Jamaican team good | :11:28. | :11:42. | |
enough to content here. The consulate -- Zambia are in Lane 2. | :11:43. | :12:02. | |
They came through as the fastest loser stop --. There is Robertson | :12:03. | :12:13. | |
who will be leading off for Scotland. Grant Plendleith in here | :12:14. | :12:38. | |
as well. Anything can happen. The Bahamas have got such experience. | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
Michael Bingham waiting to go for England. With Chris Brown on the | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
last leg, have they got the ace card? The relay final. Because of | :12:48. | :13:00. | |
the excitement elsewhere in the stadium, field events taking place, | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
just at the other end, it has meant that the rowers from the crowd have | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
upset the start of this race and quite sensibly, the starter asks | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
them all to rise. Australia are the defending champions, they do have | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
some good new talent coming through. I am not sure that they will be able | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
to hang on to the gold medal here again. The starter waits for quiet. | :13:37. | :13:55. | |
Hampden Park roars its approval as the relay gets underway with | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
Scotland on the inside. As Michael was making the point, the Steiger | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
means you have to judge this correctly. Williams in the light | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
blue and yellow of the Bahamas, chasing down Nigeria. Australia have | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
started well, Conrad Williams for England is running well as is Gordon | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
in the all read of Trinidad and Tobago. Very slow start from Jamaica | :14:24. | :14:37. | |
and Gauntlett. It goes on to Michael Bingham. For Scotland, it is Grant | :14:38. | :14:46. | |
Plendleith. Scotland are in a reasonable position, but England are | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
out in front. A real attacking moves by Michael Bingham. Trinidad and | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
Tobago with Solomon sitting behind him. Scotland are trying to chase | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
Australia. It is England in the front, Michael Bingham will be | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
coming down. Bahamas are back in this wet Russell on the last two | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
legs and Chris Brown, they will be difficult to beat. What a good race | :15:18. | :15:36. | |
we do have. Quow has pulled out. Australia are not out of it. | :15:37. | :15:47. | |
Scotland are making ground. The Bahamas are fighting hard. What a | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
race we have on our hands. Rooyen on Olamgoke Olumide Olamgoke | :15:50. | :16:01. | |
Renny Quow will be handing over to Hewitt on the last leg. Daniel Awde | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
will be giving it to the new British sensation, Hudson Smith. What can he | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
do?! Trinidad, England, Bahamas, surely between these three for the | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
gold medal. Scotland have moved ahead of Australia. Hudson Smith, | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
Iran sub-45 in this Glasgow stadium just a couple of weeks ago. Has he | :16:25. | :16:42. | |
got the strength in the rain? Hudson-Smith goes again! Can he hold | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
on?! Brown comes back. Here comes Hudson-Smith. And he leans for | :16:48. | :17:06. | |
golden! What a run. Guts, talent, he made it. They know he made it. They | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
look up at the screen. Williams, Daniel Awde, Michael Bingham, and | :17:16. | :17:25. | |
Matthew Hudson-Smith. What a really, really great race. And you know, it | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
is about the balance of the team, getting it right, putting the right | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
people on the last leg, and it was an inspirational decision, really, | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
to put a hungry young man on the last leg. But he had to be good, | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
because Chris Brown is one of the best at closing a race. But he could | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
not quite close it that time. I really thought he was going to get | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
there, I thought Hudson-Smith had gone too early, but he kept just | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
enough, and he was like a tall piece of timber leaning for the line as it | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
approached, and he was strong enough to hang onto the gold for England. | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
ANDREW COTTER: It was a second kick, we have seen it so many times. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Hudson-Smith looked like he had given just a bit too much early on, | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
but Chris Brown was hunting him down. Hudson Smith, just coming down | :18:23. | :18:33. | |
the home straight, it was an astonishing second effort from him, | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
just to hold off Chris Brown. This point, it was a very good lead-off | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
for England from Williams. He put Michael Bingham in a very good | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
position. But we knew it was going to be a good race. Michael Johnson | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
was saying that these squads, four of them, at least, are very evenly | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
matched. Renny Quow taking it on. This is the final position, where | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
Hudson-Smith takes it on. Hewitt had gone very well in the heats. But | :19:10. | :19:18. | |
this was as good a 4x400m as you will see. It was a real race. Coming | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
down the back straight, when he makes his move, you think, that is | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
going to cost him later on, he will pay for it. Chris Brown is watching. | :19:28. | :19:36. | |
Chris Brown, and you wonder if it is the crowd giving him that extra | :19:37. | :19:51. | |
lift? And then he responds. And what a response it was. | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
STEVE CRAM: Well, he and the team will watch that over and over again. | :20:01. | :20:12. | |
MICHAEL JOHNSON: I think all of us up here said, no, not yet, when he | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
started to make that move! He has got a very, very long stride. And we | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
are saying, no, don't do it! But he did make a Far East mart move to get | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
back inside, to get on the curb, so that you can take the shorter run. | :20:29. | :20:38. | |
But he still looks very, very relaxed, at that point, Matthew. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
Chris Brown, this is when he is on his way, but he took too much to try | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
to chase Matthew, and now, the monkey just jumps on his back and he | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
is going backwards. So basically what happened there is, Matthew took | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
the veteran, Chris Brown, out of this race, and took him out of his | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
own strategy, and made him run HIS race. And England comes away with | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
the victory. The young man, starting to smile, he knows that he has won | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
it. That is great, that is fantastic. | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
Well, I can give you the splits. Williams, a very good, solid first | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
leg. Michael Bingham, very solid, Daniel Awde, very impressive. But | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
the style of the show, 44.7, Matthew Hudson-Smith. He did not even need | :21:31. | :21:44. | |
windscreen wipers, did he?! He is a talent. Let's tidy all of | :21:45. | :22:00. | |
that up. It is gold for England in the 4x400m relay. The Bahamas, | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
pipped on the line. Trinidad Tobago take the bronze. Jamaica were | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
forth. Scotland, a really good performance, to finish fifth. Zambia | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
were disqualified. STEVE BACKLEY: If there is one event | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
where they do not like competing in the rain, it is the pole vault. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
Sally Peake, umbrella overhead, trying to keep the rain off. It is | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
awful conditions. Look at the rain coming down. Oh, I word, she is | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
clear. We have seen a bunch of failures, and that could be very | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
significant, if the weather stays the same. Dancing in the rain, Sally | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
Peake of Wales. As I say, the significance of that is, the | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
conditions being so difficult, it asks questions of Alana Boyd of | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
Australia, the pre-event favourite, yet to enter the competition. It is | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
going to be soggy and wet and horrible if it stays the same. Sally | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
Peake, her coach surely was part of that strategic move to come in at | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
four metres. Well done. Singing and dancing in the rain, | :23:12. | :23:24. | |
that is how that quartet will be feeling right now. Matthew | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
Hudson-Smith came to our attention very much in the Diamond League a | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
few weeks ago. He loves this track. He went sub-45, and we thought, wow, | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
this guy is good. It was a big responsibility to bring it home. It | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
is a huge responsibility for the young man. But as you said, he loves | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
this track. This is where magic happened for him. When you think | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
about how it has panned out, it is just a brilliant performance, it | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
really is. Right now, it is Jo Pavey, stepping up onto the rostrum | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
to receive her bronze medal, for the most incredibly gutsy run that we | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
saw earlier on this evening in the women's 5,000m. She would not give | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
up. And she was rewarded with another medal at the top level, at | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
40 years old. She had a baby ten months ago. She has got a little boy | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
as well. An inspiration, Denise Lewis, on so many levels? She really | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
is. It is great when an athlete of such pedigree, because as Steve | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
said, she has been a stall what for distance running, she has tried | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
everything, she has persevered, and it is such a just reward for such a | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
likeable, well-respected athlete. We will of course bring you this whole | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
ceremony in just a second. Going back to the 4x400m, we mentioned the | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
various nations who thought they had a chance, and Jamaica just looked | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
completely out of it? Yes, it was surprising, because they had some | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
great performances in the 400 individual. We knew it was going to | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
be a tight and exciting race, and it lived up to it. Matthew | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
Hudson-Smith, congratulations to him, he was fantastic. Let's take | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
you down to Steve, 45,000 metres ceremony. -- for the 5,000m | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
ceremony. STEVE CRAM: Cherono, winning the | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
gold medal for Kenya, to follow in the footsteps of her rate | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
team-mate. It was gold, silver and bronze for Kenya last time in Delhi, | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
but not this time. The last British athlete to win a medal in this event | :25:52. | :26:00. | |
was Jo Pavey. Jo picked up the silver medal in Melbourne in 2006. | :26:01. | :26:20. | |
APPLAUSE STEVE CRAM: A beautiful smile from | :26:21. | :27:01. | |
Cherono, she is one of the best in the world. | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
But maybe one of the performances of the Games from England's Jo Pavey, | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
to take a bronze. Truly inspirational. Jo deserves all of | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
these great moments. She has been on the rostrum a few times in her | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
career, but this might just be one of the best. | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
And you get the sense that when she mentioned her children, that was | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
such an inspiration for her. GABBY LOGAN: There he is, my pal, | :27:32. | :27:45. | |
Usain Bolt. 49 minutes to go until the men's 4x100m days. | :27:46. | :27:57. | |
Tom Daley is diving right now on BBC Three. It is perhaps drier in the | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
pool hole is on the track at the moment. But if you stay with us here | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
on BBC One, we will show you highlights from that at around 9.30. | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
All sorts going on today... Husband-and-wife double act Paul and | :28:13. | :28:22. | |
Joanna Drinkhall took gold in the mixed doubles in the table tennis. | :28:23. | :28:32. | |
Olympic champion Nicola Adams became the first ever women's Commonwealth | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
Games boxing gold medallist, edging out Northern Ireland's Michaela | :28:38. | :28:40. | |
Walsh in a nail-biting flyweight contest at the Hydro. Light | :28:41. | :28:48. | |
flyweight Paddy Barnes secured Northern Ireland's first gold medal | :28:49. | :28:57. | |
of these Games, beating India's Devendro Laishram in the final. And | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
his roommate, Michael Conlan, despite coming into the fight with a | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
big cut, secured victory in the bantamweight gold medal match | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
against Ashfaq of England. Before we go back to the athletics, we have | :29:15. | :29:18. | |
just got time to show you one of the fights which has just taken place in | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
the Hydro, featuring England's highly rated Anthony Fowler, cousin | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
of Robbie Fowler. He is also friends with Carl Froch, so he will have | :29:28. | :29:35. | |
been getting plenty of tips. He was facing Vijender Vijender in the | :29:36. | :29:38. | |
middleweight final. We can see how he got on, starting off in round | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
two, with Jim Neilly and Richie Woodhall. | :29:43. | :29:52. | |
JIM NEILLY: This is proving to be a dream final four Anthony Fowler, the | :29:53. | :30:01. | |
man in blue, against the vastly experienced Vijender Vijender Singh. | :30:02. | :30:20. | |
from Singh. He knows any weakness in his defence will be exposed. Fowler | :30:21. | :30:26. | |
comes back nicely. It is important that Fowler does not allow Vijender | :30:27. | :30:32. | |
Vjiender to get into a rhythm. Let him box at his pace and he will give | :30:33. | :30:38. | |
you problems. It is the work from Fowler, here's not allowing his man | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
to sit. He cannot close that gap because of the straight jab. He | :30:45. | :31:04. | |
cannot allow him on the inside. Well Anthony Fowler get his turn? The | :31:05. | :31:11. | |
cloud -- the crowd think it is -- will. They have both boxed four | :31:12. | :31:18. | |
times to get to this final. The stamina and what they have in the | :31:19. | :31:24. | |
tank is important. It is important that Fowler keeps the left-hand fast | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
and sharp. Vijender Singh is trying to catch him with the hook. If that | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
jab slows down, it will allow him to do that. At the moment, Fowler is | :31:35. | :31:41. | |
keeping that speed and it is fast. Good work. He is landing anything | :31:42. | :31:48. | |
meaningful. Vijender Singh is not doing very much, no right-hand work. | :31:49. | :31:56. | |
Fowler is tying him up. Nice stuff by Fowler. Occupying the centre of | :31:57. | :32:02. | |
the rain looking for the big shots. Last 40 seconds of this round -- | :32:03. | :32:08. | |
ring. Nothing spectacular from Fowler, but good solid work. He is | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
holding his ground, fighting fire with fire. Good tactics, Anthony | :32:15. | :32:23. | |
Fowler. Good work, brilliant work. A couple of good shots. Vijender Singh | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
is under pressure, more pressure than he has had in the rest of the | :32:29. | :32:41. | |
contest stop --. A few seconds remain. Not much between them, but | :32:42. | :32:52. | |
for my money, Fowler has taken that one. Our fantastic round there. -- a | :32:53. | :33:04. | |
fantastic round. He is saying, relax, good work from Fowler, he has | :33:05. | :33:10. | |
beat his man to the punch, but it will have to watch out for his left | :33:11. | :33:15. | |
hook. Let us look, straight jab, he goes to set again, he cannot close | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
the gap down, with anything meaningful, Fowler's round again. | :33:21. | :33:30. | |
Three judges, he will be happy with that. He has to produce something | :33:31. | :33:38. | |
that we have not seen in this final so far and all he has to do is more | :33:39. | :33:46. | |
of the same. Go on, you can do this. Last three minutes, first two rounds | :33:47. | :33:53. | |
to the man in blue, his opponent is in all sorts of trouble. And more | :33:54. | :33:58. | |
steady and dependable second. Anthony Fowler, the world bronze | :33:59. | :34:05. | |
medallist from 2013 is more adaptable. He is heading for | :34:06. | :34:12. | |
Commonwealth gold. Fowler took a shot or two. Vijender Singh has to | :34:13. | :34:18. | |
try and open up. That body shot from Fowler was to reflect, but Vijender | :34:19. | :34:22. | |
Singh knows he is losing and he is trying to come onto his front foot | :34:23. | :34:28. | |
-- Fowler was great. It is great to see boxers behind their lead hand, | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
everything comes from behind that Java. -- jab. Fowler looks a bit | :34:34. | :34:44. | |
tired, but he is still in the centre of the rain. Vijender Singh needs to | :34:45. | :34:54. | |
do more. -- ring. Fowler will not be trapped like that. Wide stance, | :34:55. | :35:00. | |
nicely balanced, looking to see what his man will do, looking at his face | :35:01. | :35:09. | |
and feet. He ties his man up. Midway through the third and final round. | :35:10. | :35:25. | |
Fowler, looking to emulate the great John Conti. Vijender Singh is trying | :35:26. | :35:32. | |
to get close to Fowler. Fowler's straight work again. He has to see | :35:33. | :35:38. | |
out this minute. Vijender Singh will come on stronger. Keep it together, | :35:39. | :35:45. | |
Anthony Fowler. Not a lot of great foot movement, but he is moving in | :35:46. | :35:51. | |
and out of range and it is that movement back which has kept him in | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
good stage. Into the final minute of this last round and Anthony Fowler | :35:56. | :36:01. | |
has this Commonwealth gold medal in the bag. He will win this. Vijender | :36:02. | :36:08. | |
Singh has to produce something we have not seen. Fowler is not going | :36:09. | :36:15. | |
to get caught. Last 30 seconds. He has not quickened his feet up and he | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
has not been allowed to. Every time he tries to attack, a jab comes his | :36:21. | :36:26. | |
way. That is better, but it is too late. He is chasing it. Last 15 | :36:27. | :36:34. | |
seconds, Fowler had his man on the canvas, forced a couple of standing | :36:35. | :36:38. | |
counts. Good right hand from Vijender Singh, but too late. Fowler | :36:39. | :36:45. | |
is going to win this one. Fowler will hang on. The bell goes and | :36:46. | :36:51. | |
Fowler has won it! What a performance from Fowler. The best | :36:52. | :36:59. | |
man in the division has won the division. The winner by unanimous | :37:00. | :37:08. | |
decision, gold medallist and Commonwealth champion in the blue | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
corner, representing England, Anthony Fowler! It is Anthony | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
Fowler. Brilliant performance all the way through. One of the judges | :37:20. | :37:26. | |
gave the last round to Vijender Singh, would not argue with that. | :37:27. | :37:34. | |
There is the best middleweight boxer in the tournament. Had to boxed four | :37:35. | :37:38. | |
times to get to the final and he did so well -- box. Now, the man who | :37:39. | :37:47. | |
everyone thought would be the gold medal winner and Anthony Fowler has | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
produced nine minutes of sparkling boxing. Great stuff, well done | :37:52. | :37:59. | |
Anthony Fowler. We have just got time to show the final round of the | :38:00. | :38:03. | |
men's lightweight final. It is Charlie Flynn against Joe | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
Fitzpatrick from Northern Ireland. It is good value and we join it in | :38:08. | :38:16. | |
the first round. Good tactics from Flynn, he knows he has to get up | :38:17. | :38:23. | |
close. Fitzpatrick has to adjust his feet and create a bit of room and | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
space. His opponent is coming forward and you have to give credit | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
to Flynn, boxing the right contest, closing the gap. Flynn had an | :38:34. | :38:40. | |
impressive win in his semifinal over the Welsh contender. He came on | :38:41. | :38:46. | |
strong in the second and third round. Every forward move from Flynn | :38:47. | :39:00. | |
is bringing thunderous of a shin and applause from the crowd. It is at | :39:01. | :39:07. | |
capacity and the decibel level has risen. We have seen Flynn box a | :39:08. | :39:22. | |
couple of southpaws. You watch, he will throw the right hand, dipped to | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
his left and come back with the hook. Good tactics from the young | :39:27. | :39:34. | |
Scotsman. A very bright start. Surely Flynn has taken that opening | :39:35. | :39:41. | |
round. It was a bit inaccurate, but Flynn, it on the inside, scored | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
well. A bit scrappy here and there, but he catches Fitzpatrick with a | :39:48. | :39:54. | |
lovely right hook. Clever little right hand from Flynn, lovely work. | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
Switching the attack, finding the better accurate work now, Flynn. | :40:01. | :40:12. | |
Flynn continuing to bob and weave. Covering up nicely, driven back by a | :40:13. | :40:20. | |
left hand from Fitzpatrick. This contest is not suiting Fitzpatrick. | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
He started well, but now he's getting inaccurate and scrappy. | :40:25. | :40:31. | |
Flint is willing to work on the inside and it suits him. -- Flynn. | :40:32. | :40:40. | |
Too often in this round Fitzpatrick is going square with his feet. His | :40:41. | :40:47. | |
left hand is too far out. He needs to break the distance down. He is | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
launching the left hand too far away. His speed comes square and it | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
allows Flynn to work on the inside. A good round for Charlie Flynn. | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
Charlie Flynn, fighting furiously at close range. There is the bell to | :41:03. | :41:13. | |
end round number two. Lovely there with that right hands, a bit of | :41:14. | :41:20. | |
quality, found the space and gap. Lovely right hand again, just on the | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
outside, Fitzpatrick coming forward, but his feet are square. I think | :41:25. | :41:31. | |
Fitzpatrick has to go for it. He is two rounds down, all or nothing, has | :41:32. | :41:38. | |
to try and find the power shots. Fitzpatrick needs to adjust his | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
speed and perhaps bring him onto a right hook, but he has not quite | :41:42. | :41:51. | |
found that shot shirt. -- shot yet. Inside the final 30 seconds of this | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
round. Fitzpatrick will have to find a punch to end this contest. He lost | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
the first two rounds. Flynn remains incredibly composed. Incredibly | :42:04. | :42:10. | |
relaxed in the biggest context of his career to date. The crowd | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
increased their volume again. -- contest. There is the bell. There | :42:15. | :42:22. | |
can be no doubt about the man who will become champion. The crowd here | :42:23. | :42:31. | |
in the arena stand to acclaim and applaud young Charlie Flynn, just 20 | :42:32. | :42:38. | |
years of age. The winner by unanimous decision and now the | :42:39. | :42:40. | |
Commonwealth gold medallist and men's lightweight champion, in the | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
red corner, representing Scotland, Charlie Flynn! Charlie, well done, | :42:46. | :42:55. | |
that was a fantastic performance. Thank you. Sometimes you need to be | :42:56. | :43:00. | |
awkward. That was the case, I was jumping in with shots, but I kept | :43:01. | :43:08. | |
catching him. It was a hard fight. I am knackered! I would like to thank | :43:09. | :43:16. | |
everybody who has put me in, especially my dad. My mum, who did | :43:17. | :43:21. | |
all my washing and fed me. I would not be here without them. That is a | :43:22. | :43:27. | |
fact. Well done Charlie, brilliant effort for Scotland. There are 13 | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
finals in all today and if you have missed any of them, you can catch up | :43:32. | :43:36. | |
on the iPlayer. You can watch the remaining fights live on the red | :43:37. | :43:40. | |
button. And the pan will join the later to look back on the action | :43:41. | :43:52. | |
from the ring. -- Amir Khan. Now it is time for the relays. Usain Bolt | :43:53. | :44:13. | |
is running, of course. How do you become a world-class sprinter! He | :44:14. | :44:22. | |
becomes a legend. It does depend on your raw materials. How you are | :44:23. | :44:34. | |
assembled. How you are built. But all the fine tuning in the world | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
will not help, if you do not have inner steel. If you do not have | :44:39. | :44:49. | |
willpower and the drive to succeed. You still have to take care of | :44:50. | :44:54. | |
business. Build on your strength, your focus and your might. If you do | :44:55. | :45:02. | |
that, and you arrive at the blocks, you might just make the most of | :45:03. | :45:13. | |
being built to sprint. You seem -- Usain Bolt may have only been on the | :45:14. | :45:17. | |
track for ten seconds but he has been on the front pages always. Hard | :45:18. | :45:21. | |
to know what they were right about when he is gone. Do not go upsetting | :45:22. | :45:27. | |
him again! All good banter as you know. | :45:28. | :45:36. | |
The shouting around here has been for a thrilling women's pole vault | :45:37. | :45:43. | |
competition. Over to Steve Backley. | :45:44. | :45:51. | |
STEVE BACKLEY: A very interesting story indeed developing. Newman, | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
third on the Commonwealth rankings from 2014. This is her third attempt | :45:55. | :46:02. | |
at four metres. Difficult conditions here this evening. Oh, and that is | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
exactly what all the athletes are fearing. You saw her slip down the | :46:07. | :46:13. | |
pole jig. She lost her grip. The athletes really struggle with | :46:14. | :46:20. | |
torrential rain. The grips are wet. This is exactly... Top hand is the | :46:21. | :46:32. | |
crucial hand. The right hand of Newman slipping away, and that is | :46:33. | :46:35. | |
her third fail, and she is out of the competition. So, it looks like | :46:36. | :46:46. | |
medals, because of the conditions, might be decided at this relatively | :46:47. | :46:52. | |
low height. Third attempt for Scott, at four metres. Oh, that was close. | :46:53. | :46:59. | |
She maintained her grip. The athletes have been huddling under | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
the shelter available, but that is a third fail for Sally Scott, and the | :47:05. | :47:07. | |
plot thickens, with four athletes remaining. It looks as though Sally | :47:08. | :47:14. | |
Peake of Wales, going clear at this height of four metres, is a | :47:15. | :47:20. | |
contender. Just got sideways over the bar, did not manage to turn her | :47:21. | :47:30. | |
body. She did not manage to turn it one quarter of a vocation, to allow | :47:31. | :47:42. | |
the hip to get out of the way. Alana Boyd of Australia was the champion | :47:43. | :47:45. | |
four years ago, but she has waited all evening, and is expected to romp | :47:46. | :47:50. | |
away with this. This is her opening effort. No! Wow! I will tell you | :47:51. | :47:58. | |
what, that is something I suppose a lot of the athletes might have been | :47:59. | :48:03. | |
looking sideways at that, saying, is it a wise thing to wait around, an | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
hour and a quarter, since the competition started? She is not | :48:10. | :48:17. | |
happy with something. The sponges have been out, trying to get rid of | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
the rain from underfoot. But it is the grips and the mapped. -- the | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
Matt. Sally Peake is in the lead. She is | :48:26. | :48:37. | |
the only athlete who has gone clear at four metres. The bar is now at | :48:38. | :48:45. | |
four metres. The bar is now. Oh yes! Sally Peake! It was actually | :48:46. | :48:56. | |
her second attempt. But it is a wonderful clearance for the Welsh | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
athlete. What a timely clearance. She does not seem to be bothered by | :49:02. | :49:08. | |
the range effort to have the confidence to rock back and go | :49:09. | :49:15. | |
outside town and sit at the top of a four metre tube of glass fibre takes | :49:16. | :49:22. | |
some bottle, and Sally Peake has that in bundles. | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
ANDREW COTTER: England with the bronze medal in the women's 4x400m. | :49:29. | :49:51. | |
It is a title they have won in the past, England, back in 1994. But | :49:52. | :50:03. | |
here, bearing in mind the calibre of the opponents, bronze was a very | :50:04. | :50:10. | |
well earned medal, and just about what they could have expected. | :50:11. | :50:13. | |
Christine Ohuruogu, it has been a very light year for her, in terms of | :50:14. | :50:19. | |
championships. But she has another bronze medal to add to her | :50:20. | :50:20. | |
collection. Nigeria take the silver medal. But | :50:21. | :50:56. | |
the gold medallists, for the first time, Jamaica have this title. | :50:57. | :51:04. | |
4x400m relay champions. It is almost an astonishing fact that this is the | :51:05. | :51:09. | |
first time the Jamaicans have won this. You look at the calibre of the | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
team here, and it was always likely to happen. Novlene Williams-Mills, | :51:15. | :51:23. | |
silver in the individual, to go with her many medals from championships | :51:24. | :51:32. | |
over the years. On the anchor leg, the gold medal from the individual, | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
Stephanie O'Hare, who did it in a Games record time. The men were not | :51:37. | :51:49. | |
able to match them in the 4x400m. Will they be able to do so in the | :51:50. | :51:57. | |
4x100m? They will start as strong favourites. I am sure they will be | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
given a good run by England. But here, it was Nigeria pushing them | :52:03. | :52:09. | |
closer. ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, the | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
national anthem of Jamaica. APPLAUSE | :52:14. | :53:31. | |
THAT MAY NOT BE THE LAST TIME WE HAVE THE JAMAICA NATIONAL ANTHEM | :53:32. | :53:33. | |
THIS EVENING. HAVE THE JAMAICA NATIONAL ANTHEM | :53:34. | :53:39. | |
THIS EVENING. STEVE BACKLEY: Looking across to the | :53:40. | :53:59. | |
far end of the stadium, away from the ceremony area, the pole vault is | :54:00. | :54:04. | |
continuing. This is Alana Boyd of Australia, looking to go clear at | :54:05. | :54:14. | |
4.15, to match Sally Peake of Wales. Oh, she is clear, on her third | :54:15. | :54:20. | |
attempt. I will tell you what, because Sally Peake went clear on | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
her second attempt, it will not be Alana Boyd going into the lead. That | :54:26. | :54:34. | |
is second-place for now. We are now live, at 4.25. Sally Peake of Wales, | :54:35. | :54:43. | |
can she extend her lead? Oh, it is good! Oh, Sally Peake! Absolutely | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
superb! She jumped magnificently here in the Grand Prix several weeks | :54:52. | :55:00. | |
ago. 4.40, she did. She obviously enjoys the facility, she feels at | :55:01. | :55:03. | |
home, and looks at home. Drives hard, bends the bar, rocks back. And | :55:04. | :55:10. | |
it is a great clearance. There is more to come as well from Sally | :55:11. | :55:16. | |
Peake. She is in the gold medal position, but can she stay there? | :55:17. | :55:26. | |
Wonderful performance from Sally Peake. The event continues, and the | :55:27. | :55:34. | |
battle between her and Alana Boyd. More to come. At the opposite end of | :55:35. | :55:41. | |
the stadium, the men's javelin is coming to its conclusion. This is | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
your Olympic champion from 2012. He is in second place at the moment, | :55:47. | :55:53. | |
behind the Kenyan. And that is powerful. And it is a long, long | :55:54. | :56:00. | |
throw from Walcott. It looks as though it might be just short of | :56:01. | :56:19. | |
that gold line, put down by Yego, but that is his best throw of the | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
competition. And that is a great set of throws in what has been awful | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
conditions. That confirms the victory for Julius Yego, my | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
favourite story of the Games. The man who learned to throw the javelin | :56:34. | :56:36. | |
on Youtube is the Commonwealth champion, for Kenya! So much success | :56:37. | :56:40. | |
on the track. Now, in the javelin. ANDREW COTTER: The penultimate race | :56:41. | :57:11. | |
on the track. Wales going in Lane 1. Asha Philip leading off the English | :57:12. | :57:16. | |
quartet. Bianca Williams has been brought in. Ashleigh Nelson on the | :57:17. | :57:26. | |
anchor. The Bahamas, with Ferguson, semifinalist in the 100, on the | :57:27. | :57:29. | |
second leg. Not the strongest quartet. Wales, for an hour and a | :57:30. | :57:36. | |
half last night, they were out, disqualified. But they were then | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
reinstated, it was deemed that their changeover was legal, so they get | :57:41. | :57:52. | |
another chance. There is messing kookaburra for the Nigerian quartet. | :57:53. | :58:02. | |
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce on the anchor leg for Jamaica. Canada, the | :58:03. | :58:16. | |
third quickest qualifier. The final of the women's 4x100m. Away they go, | :58:17. | :58:24. | |
cleanly. Asha Philip looking to put England in a strong position. | :58:25. | :58:26. | |
Jamaica looking strong already, with Kerron Stewart. The double sprint | :58:27. | :58:38. | |
gold medallist has it for Nigeria. Jamaica leading at the moment. | :58:39. | :58:44. | |
England have it now with Jodie Williams, silver in the 200m. | :58:45. | :58:50. | |
England will look to chase down Nigeria. Jamaica are well clear. | :58:51. | :58:56. | |
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is going to storm to gold. England trying to get | :58:57. | :59:01. | |
silver. But it will be Nigeria. England take the bronze. Well, we | :59:02. | :59:07. | |
thought England might be able to push Jamaica close, but there was no | :59:08. | :59:12. | |
such thoughts of that. It is a Games record for Jamaica. What a | :59:13. | :59:15. | |
performance, dominant, from the Jamaican quartet. Shelly-Ann | :59:16. | :59:21. | |
Fraser-Pryce, put her in that position, and there is no chance | :59:22. | :59:30. | |
that she will be caught! That is the quickest in the world this year, and | :59:31. | :59:37. | |
also a Games were caught. So, it is bronze for England, silver for | :59:38. | :59:40. | |
Nigeria. said, it is the quickest in the | :59:41. | :59:56. | |
world. We did have the world relay championships in the Bahamas earlier | :59:57. | :00:01. | |
in the year. Before we look at the replays, the pole vault final is | :00:02. | :00:10. | |
warming up. Sally Peek, four metres -- 4.3 five -- Sally Peake. She is | :00:11. | :00:29. | |
still in the lead. It was a pretty solid run from the English quartet. | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
Of course, Jamaica, with such an experienced team, you look at that | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
team and wonder how it could get much better, but Stewart ran well, | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Calvert, Shelly Ann Fraser Price... Tricky conditions, wet, could have | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
been fraught with all sorts of dangers, but a good and clean | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
performance from the Jamaicans. For England, on the first leg, Philip | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
had it pretty well, but Jamaica had a great first leg. Not a great | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
handover, but Campbell Brown had great speed. There was enough of a | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
gap between Nigeria and England. Jodie Williams on the top, Nelson | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
brought it home. That gap was too much. Jamaica had gone and Shelly | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
Ann Fraser Price had it in her hands. Just enough, with Nelson | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
chasing hard, not quite going to get there. What a run by the Jamaicans, | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
a great performance under these conditions. Nigeria did well. Shelly | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
Ann Fraser Price, Calvert knows it is all done and dusted. Such a good | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
run, but the changeover was good. Looking at the English changeover, | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
they were slick. They were all at a good stretch and pace, this was a | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
good squad. Bringing in Bianca Williams and Jodie Williams, the | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
rising talents, Nelson as well on the anchor leg, but she could not | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
quite get back will stop a bronze medal, another medal for the | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
connection -- collection -- she could not quite get back. Another | :02:34. | :02:45. | |
bronze for England. It was really good, the weather let us down, but | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
we knew Scotland would be like this. As a quartet, we did well. We were | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
not happy about the time, but it was the first time we had done it | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
together. We have a lot more to get and I am proud of the girls. This is | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
such a young team. It is a good effort, we are still young, we have | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
got European Championships and World Championships next and we know we | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
can do it. Today was not our day, the weather was awful, but we will | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
not make excuses, but the European Championships could be our time. | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
Jamaica had a great team, had you hope to be closer to Nigeria? We | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
came here to win, Jamaica were the better team on the day. I am so | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
proud of us, we are all young, it is a young team and going into the | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
European Championships, we are out to win it. That is exciting, look at | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
this quartet, British female sprinting is in rude health. It is | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
great that we could run in the heat. So many girls fighting for | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
spots we all do it together. We could not do it without each other. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
Well done on the bronze medal and good luck in the European | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Championships. I have to stress to Philip that the weather is not often | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
like this in Scotland. Nigeria got the silver medal. I have to stress | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
to Philip that the weather is not often like this in Scotland. Nigeria | :04:23. | :04:35. | |
got the silver medal. A back to the pole vault final and Alana Boyd. -- | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
back to. It is good. It is good for her, at 30 years of age she is the | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
defending champion. It looks as though she is finding her feet. | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
Sally Peake chose to skip the previous height. It looked as though | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
she might have had the height, but did not get through enough into the | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
mat. Sally Peake, a great performance so far, it looks like | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
she has upgraded the pole, it is a longer pole that she is using | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
because of the bigger heights and that is two faders, she is in silver | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
position behind Alana Boyd from Australia. -- failures. Australia | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
have won every contest in pole vaulting at the Commonwealth Games | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
to date. Sally Peake had a grasp of that and will need to go clear at | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
this height to stay in the competition. Just over ten minutes | :05:46. | :05:59. | |
to the four x 100 m relay. It is the last event of what has had -- has | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
been a fabulous meeting. Usain Bolt hopes he will be bringing Jamaica | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
home for the gold medal. England are in there with a strong quartet. Let | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
us catch up with the quartet who won goals. A golden moment in the | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
stadium provided by this fabulous quartet for England. Starting at | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
off, Conrad Williams, you have been in this team for a long time, what | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
does this mean to you? It means ten years of hard work. Words cannot | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
describe it. It is the best thing I have ever known. This is a home | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
crowd for me. It means too much, I love these boys. The way they were | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
at tonight, I sat them up -- set them up. I do not know, I cannot | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
speak. We know what it means to you. The lap of honour reinforces it. | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
This team, especially, at any given time, we can have a strong team, we | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
all believe in each other, we all run together and we have proved that | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
today. We saw throughout the competition, it got rainy, but we | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
ran well. Imagine if that was better weather. We have a lot more to give. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
I'm excited for the future, but I am happy. We cannot appreciate anything | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
more than a gold medal. From decathlon to this, being part of the | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
team, here you are with a gold medal. What a journey. I cannot | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
believe it. I have wanted this for so long. It has been a rocky | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
journey. These guys have welcomed me with open arms. I feel like I am one | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
of the team. It has been amazing. I woke up this morning feeling so | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
positive. It is a great feeling. What about this man on the" macro -- | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
on the end. --? Can you find words now? No! Ice my mum, I am happy. | :08:22. | :08:36. | |
That was crazy. -- I saw my mum. It has all happened so fast. There is a | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
lot to learn. This is just the beginning. You are the Olympic | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
champions, you were chased down by Chris Brown, but you would not be | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
beaten. I cannot believe it. It was amazing. I knew he had it. The | :09:00. | :09:08. | |
future is bright with kids like him. Congratulations, enjoy the moment on | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
the podium. The weather has been a huge factor here this evening and | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
especially in this poll faltered final. It has dried off and maybe | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
Alana Boyd is making the most of the drier conditions -- pole vault. That | :09:26. | :09:34. | |
is a great clearance. You think she is getting into her stride. The | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
champion four years ago, she goes clear at 4.40. So then, Sally | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
Peake, IMs apprised she has taken a second attempt at 4.40 -- I am | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
surprised. She will have a go anyway. Look to be over that. That | :09:59. | :10:11. | |
is a third failure for Sally Peake of Wales. Confirmed silver | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
medallist. Best there, 4.25 and a silver medal for Wales. Well done | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
Sally Peake, making a thrilling pole vault competition in difficult | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
conditions, but that man there, Usain Bolt is out, he is on the | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
track, getting ready to anchor the relay for Jamaica. It is the last | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
event on the track and last night, he did what he always does, he came | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
out and what he gives to the crowd and what he gives to an athletics | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
meeting, you cannot put into words and put a price on it, to have a | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
star like that. This crowd really appreciate him and going all the way | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
back, the first time we saw him on the ground stage in Beijing, people | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
immediately in the sport and outside the sport started criticising him, | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
he was showboating, but people get it now. He likes the attention, it | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
is not about him and that is where people make the mistake, they think | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
it is all about him. If you meet him, he is humble, quite shy and | :11:32. | :11:41. | |
quiet. He is a real tactician and a student of sprinting. When we see | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
him on the Diamond League, he wants to do his times, he is not all fun | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
and frivolity, he is about his art. If you pay close attention to him, | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
he is out there, playing to the crowd, and then just before the | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
start of the race, he goes into a focus and in contrast, I had to go | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
into focus in the morning. That is the difference between us, he can go | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
into focus seconds before the race, but he is very focused. He is an | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
entertainer and it is great for the sport. It is great for the sport | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
because he delivers. It is not great for the sport when other people try | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
to emulate him, dancing on the start line and they finish seventh! It | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
does not work. It is a different way, a different dynamic that he has | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
brought to the sport, before, athletes were very serious. I used | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
to be very focused, days before the competition and I did not smile | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
through anything, but he loves it, look at him! He is like, you are | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
here, you have come to see me and I love it. These two are very | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
miserable. I think everyone has their own individual way of locking | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
in and getting tied into the zone and I say that, Usain Bolt has the | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
luxury that he can do it when it matters, that crucial moment and | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
that allows him to do what he does. He enjoys the sport, he is a student | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
of sprinting and when you talk to him about what it takes to be a | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
great runner, he will break it down to you. Absolutely, and that is | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
something we do not often see. Those guys give us great entertainment | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
this evening. All 12 of them, that was a fantastic relay and England, | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
victorious in the end, the first time since 2002. Steve Cram will | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
tell you more. Yes, what a race it was, in the pouring rain. Gold for | :13:49. | :13:59. | |
England. Conrad Williams there. He was a little bit emotional. Superb | :14:00. | :14:15. | |
lead of man tonight. Michael Bingham got England into the lead and Daniel | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
Awde, the former decathlete made a great transition and when this young | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
man got the Batten, Matthew Hudson-Smith, he was not scared -- | :14:26. | :14:39. | |
button -- baton. He held off a charging Chris Brown from the | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
Bahamas. No Martyn Rooney, do not forget. What a performance from this | :14:48. | :15:04. | |
England quartet. English National Anthem: Jerusalem. | :15:05. | :16:08. | |
medal of the track and field programme. Hudson-Smith, he almost | :16:09. | :16:26. | |
looks as though he does not know what to do. Last year, that young | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
man was running in the English Schools Championships, and now look | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
at him. GABBY LOGAN: Well, nobody tells you | :16:33. | :16:46. | |
how to behave in a medal ceremony, do they, Denise Lewis? It has been | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
incredible watching him on the podium. He is like a rabbit in | :16:52. | :17:04. | |
headlights. But what a magical moment for someone so young. This is | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
the biggest stage he has ever competed on. He was brilliant, I am | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
so proud of him. Usain Bolt is stripping off, and I could not help | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
but notice, Adam Gemili, when the anthem was being played, he was | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
looking up, and you got a sense that he was soaking it up, thinking that | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
with a big performance, and a bit of luck, they could be up there as | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
well, Colin Jackson. COLIN JACKSON: Yes, it is an | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
interesting line-up which England have put out, especially the order | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
in which they are running. At the moment it looks like Adam first, | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
followed by Harry, and then Richard Kilty, before Danny Talbot last. And | :17:57. | :18:09. | |
James Ellington is not there. I am staggered about that. He ran | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
brilliantly last night. But Harry is in there. Hopefully he will do a | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
great job on the second leg. And Richard Kilty, the, has obviously | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
been given the nod. We have not usually seen him on but hopefully, | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
the glory leg... MICHAEL JOHNSON: I am also | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
confused. I would have put Adam Gemili on third, I would have put | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
Richard Kilty on first. I do not understand this order, I really | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
don't. I would have put Danny Talbot on the second leg. He is a great 200 | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
metre runner. It is interesting. They know better than us! Usain | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Bolt's first experience of your new favourite song, Michael Johnson, 500 | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
Miles, Bridie proclaimers. -- by The Proclaimers. He is looking good, he | :19:15. | :19:27. | |
is relaxed. And the Nigerian athlete looks like he is enjoying himself as | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
well. They are speaking about different ways of operating, and | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
Adam Gemili is one of those who smiles a lot. He said he smiles | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
because he loves racing, he loves being in this environment. I think | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
he has said he is amazed by the atmosphere. He will enjoy this whole | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
environment. This will inspire those English boys, no doubt. Look at our | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
showman! MICHAEL JOHNSON: I think you | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
inspired him, Gaby! DENISE LEWIS: What is difficult, | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
though, is, if you are not in this moment, you might not be able to | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
concentrate, if you are not feeling this right now. But at the same | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
time, any other athlete, you cannot let anything distract you. That is | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
how you have to be as an athlete. You cannot let the fact that all of | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
this is going on around you, he is dancing, he is in the lane next to | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
me, and the crowd is going crazy - I am still focused on my race, and | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
what I have got to do. Let's see if there is going to be a celebration | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
for the home nation. Steve Cram is your commentator. | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
STEVE CRAM: The final event of the track and field programme. Canada, | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
along with a few other teams in here, we'll be looking to try and | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
upset the party little bit. Jamaica, though, with that team. Kemar | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
Bailey-Cole, the gold medallist in the individual. And of course, Bolt. | :21:17. | :21:30. | |
Danny Talbot, all the way through that, he was a picture of | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
concentration! Adam Gemili first, then. Huge cheers, what a great week | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
it has been for him. He will hand onto Harry, followed by Richard | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
Kilty and Danny Talbot. Watch out for Trinidad Tobago. Richard | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
Thompson on the last leg. The Bahamas. They set a new national | :21:56. | :22:11. | |
record in qualifying for this final. Just going back to qualification, | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
Trinidad ran 38.33, they were the quickest. Canada were the second | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
quickest. Then it was Bahamas, then it was England. And I have not even | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
mentioned Jamaica, so that gives you a sense of what England will have to | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
do, anybody will have to do, to win a medal. It is going to be tough | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
here. Nigeria are in Lane 7. They have got experience as well. And | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
South Africa, out in Lane 8, might not be too far away, either. The | :22:43. | :23:03. | |
men's 4x100m final. Livermore with the baton F-4 jet Jamaica. Adam | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
Gemili has already made up a metre or so on Canada. It is a good change | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
for England and also for Jamaica. So, Jamaica, England, Canada. | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
Trinidad a little bit distance. Richard Kilty has got it for | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
England. Our England going to be in the lead and no he will be handing | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
over to Danny Talbot. England leading, but here comes Bolt! Usain | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
Bolt streaking away! Richard Thompson chasing England down. But | :23:35. | :23:43. | |
Usain Bolt takes it home. It is Glasgow gold for Usain Bolt and | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
Jamaica. Let the party begin again. He came, he conquered. And we are | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
all very happy that he did. Jamaica, with a new, Commonwealth Games | :24:00. | :24:15. | |
record. But it was always going to be about Usain Bolt, once he got the | :24:16. | :24:26. | |
baton, and with this Jamaican team, no matter who is in it, there is no | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
Yohan Cabaye, no Nesta Carter, but no matter who they choose, give it | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
to the big man, where he goes. Games record, there you go. I want to come | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
to the party as well. Why don't we all just get down there and join in, | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
hey? ANDREW COTTER: He is the great | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
entertainer, was there ever any doubt? The only concern was, would | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
they get the baton around? The Games record had belonged to England, from | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
1998. Everybody wants to see this man, to get his signature, to touch | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
redness. He is such a star. The changeovers were pretty good from | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
England, we will have a look at them in a minute. | :25:18. | :25:37. | |
There were always going to be headlines, regarding Usain Bolt, | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
some of them positive, and the occasional -1, but he is such a | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
star. And everybody who has come here tonight will be able to say, I | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
saw the great Usain Bolt run in the flesh, in years to come. And I saw | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
him dance to The Proclaimers as well! Let's have a look at it again. | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
Nigeria watched it up a bit early on, but it was a pretty strong | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
quartet. The changeover was strong for Jamaica. Richard Kilty, and just | :26:14. | :26:32. | |
for a moment, there was never any contest between Danny Talbot and | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
Usain Bolt. And very, very nearly, Richard Thompson was bearing down on | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
Danny Talbot. But Usain Bolt was just chasing a time. Yes, the | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
Canadian did not get the baton, and he could have been a threat to Danny | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
Talbot on the last leg. As it was, England were able to hold off | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
Richard Thompson for the silver medal. Well, Jamaica were always the | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
favourite, but let's bring Michael in and have a look at what he | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
thought of the England performance. MICHAEL JOHNSON: Adam Gemili got a | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
fantastic start, he was already making up ground on the Jamaicans. | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
Great handover to Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. He is also | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
catching up the Jamaicans. Another good handover. Richard Kilty, he is | :27:28. | :27:35. | |
running a really nice bend. But to change hands, that is a problem. | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
Cost him a bit of time. Another good handover. Richard Thompson, the | :27:40. | :27:50. | |
Olympic silver medallist, Danny Talbot holding him off, which was a | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
great performance. Good effort by the English team, all the way round. | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
This handover was a little bit low, but he got it. You have got to give | :28:00. | :28:07. | |
those guys a lot of credit, this there were a lot of good teams in | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
there. Nigerians could have made a mess of it for the English team, but | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
actually, they made a mess of the handover on the first exchange. | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
Trinidad Tobago, really, really talented team on paper, faster than | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
the English team. Good catch by the official there! Nice work for the | :28:26. | :28:32. | |
Jamaicans, and nice work for the English. | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
STEVE CRAM: Just going back to the handing over of the baton, I think | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
Richard Kilty just be adjusted, and thankfully, it pretty well. Well, | :28:43. | :28:53. | |
everybody enjoying their lap of honour. The Canadians did have a | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
chance, but you do have to get it round. They were very much in the | :28:59. | :29:06. | |
race. Interesting, this Jamaican team. I was just looking at Bolt. He | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
was even looking at the time. I just wonder whether he thought he might | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
be running pretty quick here. It is a good team, not as fast as some of | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
the people they have had in the past, of course. There is a lucky | :29:21. | :29:28. | |
lady, and a lucky young lady. What sort of form do you think he is in | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
individually, Usain Bolt? He is hoping to run a couple of races | :29:34. | :29:37. | |
after this, and it will be interesting to see how the second | :29:38. | :29:41. | |
half of the season goes. He is so important to the sport, as we have | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
said. There is the World Championships next year, we would | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
love to see him back and competing at his best. Richard Thompson has | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
been one of the best this year, but Bolt, even near his best, is still | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
going to be number one. He looks good, he looks relaxed. He looks as | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
though he is moving nicely. I think he has enjoyed it. He is the star | :30:02. | :30:11. | |
that everyone wants to see and look at what it means to all the people | :30:12. | :30:18. | |
who have bought tickets be here. It has been a great night in Hampden | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
Park. Primarily for England, we have been winning lots of medals, great | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
atmosphere. He is undoubtedly the star of the show. Only 2% of those | :30:30. | :30:42. | |
photographs will work! The result of the final event of the track and | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
field programme, the gold medal to Jamaica. England got an excellent | :30:48. | :30:53. | |
silver medal. They beat Trinidad and Tobago, who took the bronze medal | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
and the South African team ran a new national record to finish fourth. In | :30:59. | :31:04. | |
spite of the rain and appalling conditions, a new games record -- | :31:05. | :31:11. | |
Games. A great experience to be in the stadium for that race. I think | :31:12. | :31:21. | |
that speaks to the conditions, it it's stopped raining earlier. The | :31:22. | :31:28. | |
weather was not that much of a factor, because the Jamaicans were | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
flying round the track. This is what it is all about. Usain Bolt, it has | :31:33. | :31:39. | |
been a great combination of a lot of great competition, take the men's | :31:40. | :31:46. | |
100 metres, it would not have been that great a race with Usain Bolt in | :31:47. | :31:50. | |
it, not as entertaining. Getting to see him at the end of the | :31:51. | :31:55. | |
competition, it was fitting. This is as close as we could get to what you | :31:56. | :31:59. | |
said would be the best thing we could wish for, him getting the five | :32:00. | :32:08. | |
metres down. He was a step or so behind Danny Talbot. We got to see | :32:09. | :32:15. | |
him put on a show. He did not get the chance to cruise home. That was | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
good for the crowd. Everyone was wondering how good a shape he was | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
in. In terms of where he is, he is in the middle of a four year cycle, | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
is it possible for him to be at the top of his game in two years time? | :32:32. | :32:38. | |
It is possible for him to be at the top of the heap. Will he ever run as | :32:39. | :32:46. | |
fast as he ran in 2008? I do not think so. I think the injuries will | :32:47. | :32:51. | |
continue. As you get older, it is more difficult to stay healthy. He | :32:52. | :32:57. | |
has been forced to take time off, that has helped him. He loves to | :32:58. | :33:02. | |
race. I think the injuries have done him a service for the future. I | :33:03. | :33:08. | |
think he will be fast enough in two years time to defend his | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
Championship and win an unprecedented three in a roll of | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
gold medals. He will have to manage his body and be very careful in | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
terms of his race his body and be very careful in | :33:21. | :33:21. | |
next year. We have seen that. his body and be very careful in | :33:22. | :33:27. | |
think that he would race in the World Championships next year? No, | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
he would want to go into the Olympics as the world champion. Next | :33:33. | :33:39. | |
year, you want to add that to your CD as well, you want to be world | :33:40. | :33:48. | |
champion as many times as you can. -- but CV. That might do him a | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
disservice. You want to go into the Olympic season coming off are good | :33:53. | :34:02. | |
and solid season. -- a good and solid season. The culture is so | :34:03. | :34:11. | |
meticulous in the way he prepares his accolades and for him it is | :34:12. | :34:18. | |
important how they perform -- the coach. I spoke to him about the | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
performance of Usain Bolt and he said he was disappointed. I asked | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
him why and he said he could have got the world record. It was great | :34:29. | :34:36. | |
to hear and see that the coach was positive and inspired his athletes | :34:37. | :34:38. | |
to go a little bit better even though they were superstores. They | :34:39. | :34:45. | |
you can see the England quartet -- superstars. There have been lots of | :34:46. | :34:53. | |
silver medals for England. They are in fourth place, 13 silver medals. | :34:54. | :35:00. | |
Five gold medals. Kenya lead the table, followed by Jamaica and | :35:01. | :35:08. | |
Australia. Convert a few more of those silver medals and they could | :35:09. | :35:14. | |
be further up the table. Let us go out to the field. It was a very | :35:15. | :35:26. | |
entertaining evening of athletics. The women's pole-vault, Sally Peake | :35:27. | :35:32. | |
there with the Welsh like, it was a great performance for a silver medal | :35:33. | :35:45. | |
in awful conditions -- flag. Alain went on to clear 4.50 and run away | :35:46. | :35:57. | |
with it. -- Alaina Boyd. That Alana Boyd. Very entertaining javelin | :35:58. | :36:06. | |
competition. Keshorn Walcott did not have enough to chase down the lead | :36:07. | :36:15. | |
of Julius Yego. Tough competition -- conditions and a great competition. | :36:16. | :36:22. | |
The triple jumpers, there was no reprieve there either. All these | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
jumps were in the early rounds. Mokoena was in the second round. | :36:29. | :36:35. | |
Tosin Oke, championed last time around had his season's best. | :36:36. | :36:54. | |
Possibly the favourite, Singh had to settle for Raunds. The next | :36:55. | :36:59. | |
athletics is the European Championships -- bronze. We had | :37:00. | :37:05. | |
there from August 12. A whole new crop of names for a lot of these | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
British-based athletes to compete against. They will be testing | :37:11. | :37:13. | |
themselves against another corner of the world. We are almost all done | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
here. Quick headline of your favourite moment. Everyone comes in | :37:20. | :37:28. | |
with different stresses and she had no excuses, she had to win a medal. | :37:29. | :37:40. | |
She was running well stop --. I thought Lindsay Sharp was fantastic. | :37:41. | :37:52. | |
A brilliant silver medal. Jodie Williams and Bianca Williams for me. | :37:53. | :37:57. | |
That was fantastic. I was going to choose them. Also Jo Pavey. Lots of | :37:58. | :38:04. | |
women and Laura Weightman for Steve Cram. Understandable he would choose | :38:05. | :38:12. | |
his own athlete. We are heading away from Hampden Park. Thank you to all | :38:13. | :38:18. | |
our pundits. Thank you to Hampden Park. A national football stadium, | :38:19. | :38:25. | |
to become a stadium with this atmosphere, it has done the | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
Commonwealth Games proud. Goodbye from all of us at Hampden Park. | :38:30. | :38:37. | |
Thank you very much. My favourite moment, Usain Bolt. | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
He is my favourite sportsperson. Great stuff and tomorrow Hampden | :38:43. | :38:50. | |
Park will host the closing ceremony here on BBC1 from eight o'clock. 50 | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
miles away in Edinburgh, the diving has been taking place and Tom Daley | :38:56. | :38:58. | |
was defending his 10m platform title. He took a silver medal | :38:59. | :39:03. | |
yesterday but he was favourite to win tonight. We join it in the first | :39:04. | :39:23. | |
round. Already ground to make up. Tom Daley, ready to start. Slightly | :39:24. | :39:29. | |
different version of it than we have seen so far. | :39:30. | :39:35. | |
When he performed this died this morning, we will give you a heads up | :39:36. | :39:56. | |
-- dive. It was good. Hello, Tom Daley! Welcome to the men's 10m | :39:57. | :40:03. | |
platform final. This is a defending champion, that is his first dive and | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
he is going to get knives and perhaps even some towns. He has | :40:10. | :40:22. | |
capitalised -- nines and tendons. -- tens. What a massive swing. Good | :40:23. | :40:47. | |
standing for Australia. This is Matt Dixon. This needs to be very good. | :40:48. | :41:07. | |
It is a tremendous entry into the water. He is a little bit untidy as | :41:08. | :41:16. | |
he gets in. The jump is good. He is only 14 years old. He reaches back, | :41:17. | :41:26. | |
tips his feet over. He is loving this. A little bit of a wobble. | :41:27. | :41:36. | |
Middle of the pack in terms of marks. Matthew Mitcham now. A big | :41:37. | :41:59. | |
margin to make up. 99 would take him into the lead, but that is not | :42:00. | :42:11. | |
likely. Or is it? A beautiful arm balance, he has cranked up the start | :42:12. | :42:18. | |
a bit too much. He could not stop that rotation. A tricky dive to do. | :42:19. | :42:25. | |
It is a real pain, so will many twists. It is very EEC two over | :42:26. | :42:29. | |
rotator and that is what Matthew Mitcham has done. He is lagging | :42:30. | :42:36. | |
behind -- it is very EEC to over rotator. -- easy. Tom Daley's next | :42:37. | :43:02. | |
dive. Back to half somersaults. -- two and a half. He will compose | :43:03. | :43:14. | |
himself. Take a long time over this. Look at the mannerisms and facial | :43:15. | :43:23. | |
expressions. It is better than this morning, it he still struggled with | :43:24. | :43:29. | |
it. That is a step in the right direction. Not as good as he did in | :43:30. | :43:36. | |
Mexico. He is not extending his legs out of the diving board. He needs an | :43:37. | :43:43. | |
11 metre platform to take off like that. The problem is at the start, | :43:44. | :43:50. | |
not as relaxed as he needs to be. He is watching the replay, the judges | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
do not see the replay, but that is out of the way. Even though it was | :43:55. | :44:03. | |
not up to scratch for Tom Daley, it is a massive swing to him. This | :44:04. | :44:15. | |
young man is relishing the chance of performing in front of this | :44:16. | :44:23. | |
audience. It is Matthew Dixon. A former gymnast and now a diver. You | :44:24. | :44:41. | |
can see the strapping on his arm. It is a great take-off. So composed, so | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
will balance. You can see his gymnastics background. It is almost | :44:47. | :44:59. | |
like a bolt. -- vault. Crying fit a little bit too much and over it | :45:00. | :45:06. | |
goes. -- cranks it a little bit too much. It is James Denny. His next | :45:07. | :45:27. | |
dive is one that I have seen on YouTube. It will be hard for this to | :45:28. | :45:43. | |
be without a splash. That is one of the dives that he used last night | :45:44. | :45:49. | |
with Tom Daley in the synchronisation. | :45:50. | :46:03. | |
backs of his legs. It is a difficult dive, and when it goes wrong, it can | :46:04. | :46:09. | |
go drastically wrong. He will drop down the leaderboard with that one. | :46:10. | :46:16. | |
Ooi Tze Liang needs to get it back on track with this one. | :46:17. | :46:27. | |
LEON TAYLOR: That IS back on track. His easiest dive. Such a strong | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
athlete, he leaps off the diving board. He will get eights on that. | :46:34. | :46:40. | |
Will he go to the top of the leaderboard? Yes. | :46:41. | :46:45. | |
BOB BALLARD: For the time being, he will. | :46:46. | :47:04. | |
Riendeau next, 3.4 difficulty. Oh, he has taken it on. Wow! This was a | :47:05. | :47:23. | |
good dive. 3.4, it is tricky. Anything above 70 points is good, 75 | :47:24. | :47:29. | |
points, even better. And up into the higher echelons we go. I would not | :47:30. | :47:36. | |
be at all surprised if this young man is on the podium later on today. | :47:37. | :47:46. | |
Great attitude. Oh, that is a good dive from Mitchum. He manages to | :47:47. | :47:53. | |
keep the splash down. He does go slightly over vertical. He will only | :47:54. | :48:00. | |
get 8.5s maybe. He needed to be completely bolt upright to get | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
enough pressure on Tom Daley. This was a big dive, though. Well, he got | :48:06. | :48:14. | |
450 total this morning. Delightful Matt Mitcham. He has come close to | :48:15. | :48:20. | |
emulating what he did this morning, but still has not quite done it. | :48:21. | :48:28. | |
In terms of tariff, the weakest dive for Tom Daley. That does not always | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
translate into how it looks in execution. | :48:36. | :48:44. | |
Oh, he is just - just - missed that slightly. He has been working so | :48:45. | :48:56. | |
hard on this. A really good, strong start. Just rolling over as he goes | :48:57. | :49:03. | |
into the water. He will get 8.5s. Probably not good enough for a nine. | :49:04. | :49:13. | |
But he will be over 80 points. So, we have reached halfway, and it is | :49:14. | :49:15. | |
looking good for Tom Daley. What a dive from the 14-year-old | :49:16. | :49:32. | |
from Plymouth! He has absolutely smashed it! Wow! That is what he is | :49:33. | :49:40. | |
capable of. There will be some big scores coming his way. I am liking | :49:41. | :49:50. | |
that! ! Good work, Matthew Dixon. Well, physically he might look out | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
of place here. But those marks are not. 81.6. This will send him | :49:54. | :50:05. | |
towards 300 points, if he gets it right. And he does! I thought he was | :50:06. | :50:11. | |
out way too early, that he knows exactly where he is. Good awareness | :50:12. | :50:21. | |
in the air. Do you know where you when you are spinning around and | :50:22. | :50:24. | |
falling down towards the Earth at breakneck speed? No! Yes, is the | :50:25. | :50:34. | |
answer, for Ooi Tze Liang. His coach, himself, an exceptional diver | :50:35. | :50:43. | |
in his day. Oh, that is not as good as this morning, but it is plenty | :50:44. | :50:46. | |
good enough for him to stay in the lead. 3.7 degree of difficulty. Tom | :50:47. | :50:58. | |
has got a great take-off. This morning, he went over 100 points. | :50:59. | :51:05. | |
This will be close to 80. But Tom is way out in front. Matt Mitcham is | :51:06. | :51:10. | |
not really featuring. I do not think he is even in the top three. He is | :51:11. | :51:17. | |
not. Tom Daley is miles ahead of everybody else. | :51:18. | :51:31. | |
Matt Dixon, the 14-year-old from Plymouth, is acquitting himself | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
very, very well indeed. Nice! Just a little over rotation. | :51:36. | :52:03. | |
It is a big dive for him. Looking at where you have been, not where you | :52:04. | :52:11. | |
are going. Just throwing a bit of splash up. Still, | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
are going. Just throwing a bit of better than he did this morning. | :52:16. | :52:17. | |
Yes, he only got fives on this this morning. That will be 6.5s. Good | :52:18. | :52:25. | |
work, Matthew Dixon. In four years' time, when he gets to the Gold | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
Coast, he will have filled out a bit, and he will be a completely | :52:29. | :52:33. | |
different competitor. Yes, much better than it was this morning. | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
Obviously, it is a different dive. He is playing safe. I think he has | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
left himself too much to do to challenge Tom Daley for the gold, | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
but he is having to fight for the silver. Will that be enough to get | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
him closer to the Canadian and to the Malaysian? It is OK, but it is | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
not good enough. I have seen him score straight tens on this dive. He | :52:57. | :53:02. | |
is not going to get a medal, and that would be a turn-up for the | :53:03. | :53:10. | |
books. It would indeed. Oh, it is incredible! Tens! Tens! | :53:11. | :53:18. | |
Come on, judges, you might as well. That is perfect! This is textbook, | :53:19. | :53:24. | |
this is Tom Daley pretty much diving for the gold! If the judges do not | :53:25. | :53:28. | |
give it a ten, well, I think they are wrong. This is perfection. 100 | :53:29. | :53:35. | |
points, here we come. I thought you had just joined the Strictly Come | :53:36. | :53:44. | |
Dancing judge -- judging panel there, for a moment. | :53:45. | :53:55. | |
So, Tom Daley looks like he is going to go over 500. In second place, | :53:56. | :54:06. | |
Vincent Riendeau. But look how tight it is for bronze at the moment. A | :54:07. | :54:13. | |
huge cheer once again for the little man. That is the view that Matthew | :54:14. | :54:24. | |
Dixon has of what he is about to do. Oh, he has really gone for its. He | :54:25. | :54:32. | |
actually landed on the head of the 10m board. Just a little bit of over | :54:33. | :54:40. | |
rotation. Just drifting over vertical. What a performance from | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
this young boy. Great work. Yes, and we will see more of him. | :54:44. | :54:55. | |
European Championships, World Championships next year. | :54:56. | :55:05. | |
Oh, that is OK, it is pretty good. This was the dive that got them out | :55:06. | :55:19. | |
of trouble in the synchro yesterday. Tom, just not quite straightening | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
out into the water. He will probably get 6.5s from the judges. A bit less | :55:25. | :55:32. | |
splash, it would have been eights, and that would have been a huge | :55:33. | :55:34. | |
score. An average of just over seven is | :55:35. | :55:47. | |
what he needs, with four more to go. That is a beauty from Ooi Tze Liang, | :55:48. | :55:53. | |
but will it be good enough for the bronze? He won gold in the 3m | :55:54. | :55:59. | |
individual, beating Jack Laugher, to the surprise of many. He has saved | :56:00. | :56:09. | |
his best till last. Pressure is on. Will that be good enough for silver? | :56:10. | :56:14. | |
75 will put Riendeau in the lead. Very smooth, very precise. Great | :56:15. | :56:31. | |
entry. That 3.2, needs to make it count. So, he needs eights. I do not | :56:32. | :56:42. | |
know. A little bit short of vertical as he goes into the water. The | :56:43. | :56:51. | |
Canadian, only 17 years old, he will be back. I think we are seeing | :56:52. | :56:57. | |
someone who is going to grow. This is now a demonstration dive for Tom | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
Daley, cars he needs ten points! He will want to go out with a flourish. | :57:03. | :57:08. | |
He wants to get more than 500 marks. That is his territory, that is his | :57:09. | :57:13. | |
domain. And this is the final dive for Tom Daley for gold at the | :57:14. | :57:21. | |
Commonwealth Games. There you go. Outstanding from Tom Daley, | :57:22. | :57:23. | |
retaining his Commonwealth Games title which he won four years ago, | :57:24. | :57:28. | |
in Delhi. Here he is again, in Glasgow, winning by an absolute | :57:29. | :57:34. | |
country mile. He will go away over 500 points. 90 plus for this one. | :57:35. | :57:42. | |
The questions around what he has been doing, he has silenced his | :57:43. | :57:48. | |
critics. Gold for Tom Daley. This will tell you exactly what you need | :57:49. | :57:50. | |
to know. Matthew Dixon, watch out for him in | :57:51. | :58:13. | |
four years' time, in ninth place. I am delighted to say that Tom Daley | :58:14. | :58:17. | |
joins us now. Any congratulations, that was a sensational performance. | :58:18. | :58:25. | |
Yes, I mean, it was really nice to go into the last round knowing that | :58:26. | :58:28. | |
I did not actually have to do my last dive to get a medal. It was | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
just about going out and giving it my best shot. It was a huge victory. | :58:34. | :58:42. | |
You came into the Games in great form, you had a personal best in | :58:43. | :58:46. | |
June, so you must have been confident? Yes. I had been in really | :58:47. | :58:52. | |
good shape with my diving. Everything has been feeling really | :58:53. | :58:55. | |
good. For me, it was about making sure that I did six solid dives in | :58:56. | :59:00. | |
the preliminaries, and six solid dives in the final. I ended up | :59:01. | :59:07. | |
qualifying in first, and in the final, I wanted to stay out in front | :59:08. | :59:13. | |
the whole way. The Demon dive did not go terribly well this morning, | :59:14. | :59:16. | |
but it was much better this evening? Yes, I have been doing a | :59:17. | :59:21. | |
lot of work on it, and each time I do it, it is getting better and | :59:22. | :59:26. | |
better. Hopefully, going into Rio, it will be one of my better dives. | :59:27. | :59:38. | |
You must be looking forward to Rio now, even though it is two years | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
away, and I will tell you, it is not a bad place? Yes, we have got | :59:43. | :59:47. | |
another two years to go, and a lot more hard work. We have got to | :59:48. | :59:51. | |
qualify first. Next year at the World Championships in Russia, I | :59:52. | :59:56. | |
have to come in the top 12. Then, in the World Cup, in 2016, you have to | :59:57. | :00:02. | |
come in the top 18 in that, to solidify your position. Would you | :00:03. | :00:10. | |
stay with us, we are moving over to BBC Two? Yes, I will be here. Stay | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
with us, what a night it has been! # I wish this would be over now. | :00:16. | :00:52. | |
# But I know that I still need you here. | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
# You say I am crazy, because you don't think I know what you have | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
done. # I know I am not the only one. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
I've never ever, ever done gymnastics at all. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
they haven't trained hard enough. Crazy hard. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
