:01:33. > :01:36.England dominated the triathlon, but it was all about Scotland

:01:37. > :01:44.In a moment, we'll look back on the medals won there and in the track.

:01:45. > :01:46.Another great day awaits, and here's the action we have

:01:47. > :01:56.We'll have the best of the early action

:01:57. > :02:00.at the badminton, as Wales get underway in the mixed team event.

:02:01. > :02:06.Then we're off to one of the hits of the games, the judo,

:02:07. > :02:13.which has become something of a Scottish fortress.

:02:14. > :02:15.It'll be just as noisy at the Tollcross Swimming Centre.

:02:16. > :02:21.England's Fran Halsall will be in the water for the first time.

:02:22. > :02:24.There's sure to be a roar then when the local favourites

:02:25. > :02:28.Ross Murdoch and Michael Jamieson take to the water again.

:02:29. > :02:34.And we'll have Georgia Davies on our minds.

:02:35. > :02:42.The Welsh medal hope goes in the 100m backstroke heats.

:02:43. > :02:46.So, here's the timings for you to plan your morning.

:02:47. > :02:49.In a moment, we'll be looking forward to the day's swimming,

:02:50. > :02:55.and taking a look back on a dramatic evening in the pool.

:02:56. > :02:57.Gold medallist David Carry is with us for that.

:02:58. > :03:00.Then we'll look forward to the day?s cycling,

:03:01. > :03:03.and talk about whether England's Olympic Sprint champion Jason Kenny

:03:04. > :03:05.can rediscover his form, or will the Australians dominate again?

:03:06. > :03:09.Then, at around 9.40am, we're off to the badminton,

:03:10. > :03:13.followed by judo as it?s the turn of the men in the 63 kg division, and

:03:14. > :03:18.Then, at 10.30am, it's back to the pool,

:03:19. > :03:27.BBC Three is also on from nine o'clock in the morning every day.

:03:49. > :03:51.And every sport is live on the website, at bbc.co.uk/glasgow2014.

:03:52. > :04:21.What a night it was in the swimming pool especially for Scotland. David

:04:22. > :04:27.Carry will be talking about that. Let us take a look back on the 200m

:04:28. > :04:30.breaststroke final featuring Michael Jamieson. It did not go quite as

:04:31. > :04:44.expected. Take your marks.

:04:45. > :04:49.A great start, a huge roar from the crowd as they started. A really good

:04:50. > :04:55.first 15 minutes for Andrew Willis of England, probably the best start.

:04:56. > :05:01.Also, the former world record holder closest to us with the yellow Hat,

:05:02. > :05:07.from Australia. As expected, going out fast, but in the heat, he paid

:05:08. > :05:12.for it. It is his only tactic. He was talking himself down all week on

:05:13. > :05:16.this event, he might pull out of it.

:05:17. > :05:24.I will be surprised if he holds it. And in the second lane, a really

:05:25. > :05:29.good swimmer in the Black Hat. Jamieson is looking very strong.

:05:30. > :05:39.Ross Murdoch, to the right of the other lanes. Jamieson and Murdoch.

:05:40. > :05:42.This might push Jamieson to a record, I am not sure. It is hard to

:05:43. > :05:53.call. Now, Jamieson is starting to go, the

:05:54. > :05:59.blue hat in the centre is Michael Jamieson. This is his strength, the

:06:00. > :06:05.third 50m. One lane closed it is his team-mate, Andrew Willis of

:06:06. > :06:10.England. They haven't dropped the rest of the field. The Scotsman is

:06:11. > :06:16.coming through in the centre. Ross Murdoch and Michael Jamieson

:06:17. > :06:22.are the only capable in the field to go under 33. This is so tight. Ross

:06:23. > :06:30.Murdoch has taken the lead. I don't think the record will go. Murdoch,

:06:31. > :06:36.Jamieson and Willis. Murdoch might be touching out at Silver.

:06:37. > :06:42.Ross Murdoch looking brilliant. The 20-year-old from Stirling

:06:43. > :06:49.University. He is coming away! Look at that will stop the world record

:06:50. > :06:53.line. Taking the gold medal for Scotland.

:06:54. > :06:59.-- look at that! An utterly brilliant swim. Can you

:07:00. > :07:04.believe it? Gold to Scotland, but not the person we thought. A gold

:07:05. > :07:10.medal to Ross Murdoch, silver to Michael Jamieson. That at that, he

:07:11. > :07:17.is realising what he has done. Look at the time. A new British record.

:07:18. > :07:27.Scottish champion this year in the 50m and 100m breast stroke. Now, the

:07:28. > :07:31.Commonwealth champion and the Commonwealth record holder in the

:07:32. > :07:42.200m breast stroke. Who would have thought it? Ross Murdoch, the gold

:07:43. > :07:48.medal going to Scotland. And Michael Jamieson.

:07:49. > :07:57.David, you were lucky to be there. That final race of the night capped

:07:58. > :08:04.off what a brilliant night that was. You could just see Ross on his face

:08:05. > :08:09.at the end, shock, the surprise. A guy who had been preparing for that

:08:10. > :08:20.race but not preparing win. He was a name hardly anyone thought

:08:21. > :08:25.would win. When was he spotted by the squad? A perfect example of

:08:26. > :08:28.someone brought through the Scottish swimming ranks.

:08:29. > :08:34.A promising age-group swimmer, selected for the junior squad. He

:08:35. > :08:40.went to Stirling University. He is still a student. He did not appear

:08:41. > :08:45.in London 2012. The first time he has done this. To come along and win

:08:46. > :08:54.is remarkable. He did it in a very good time.

:08:55. > :09:02.You can see the red line he is chasing, the world record time, he

:09:03. > :09:08.is fractions behind. The second quickest of all time in that event.

:09:09. > :09:11.A truly world-class swim. He has a great future ahead judging from

:09:12. > :09:16.this. His first international competition

:09:17. > :09:22.on this scale. In two years, the Rio Olympics is in

:09:23. > :09:26.his sights. The remarkable thing is, if you see the red line he is

:09:27. > :09:31.chasing, this is not his best event. His best event comes today.

:09:32. > :09:36.He will be in the heats this morning.

:09:37. > :09:44.He beat Michael Jamieson who ended up with a silver medal. If you could

:09:45. > :09:49.see it on Ross Murdoch's face, it was clearly difficult for Jamieson.

:09:50. > :09:55.Ross was not preparing to win, Michael was. He had set his heart on

:09:56. > :10:02.this, this is where he grew up. The homeboy story. In the build-up to

:10:03. > :10:08.the Games, you saw posters of him everywhere. The incredible thing is

:10:09. > :10:12.he has inspired so many people. But not to get the fairy tale ending is

:10:13. > :10:17.heartbreaking. You can see the emotion, I am getting emotional now.

:10:18. > :10:24.Knowing the journey he has been on. It is heartbreaking to see. He is a

:10:25. > :10:31.resilient guy. Disappointed after London 2012, winning a silver medal.

:10:32. > :10:37.Even more disappointed here. He was there on the podium.

:10:38. > :10:39.Incredibly emotional for all supporters of Team Scotland and

:10:40. > :10:49.everyone watching that gold medal being awarded. Here is the ceremony.

:10:50. > :10:58.SCOTTISH VICTORY ANTHEM PLAYS: "Flower of Scotland"

:10:59. > :11:05.To hear the music bring out in the Tollcross Swimming Centre must have

:11:06. > :11:10.been incredible. You can hear the crowd in the background singing

:11:11. > :11:16.along. Those moments are the epitome of everything. Those moments, you

:11:17. > :11:21.remember, your family and friends, the sacrifices they have made. That

:11:22. > :11:27.is why the emotion comes out. It is not just a piece of metal, a moment

:11:28. > :11:31.on the podium, it represents so much. A lifetime of work, and wish,

:11:32. > :11:42.excitement to get to that moment. They will be back in competition

:11:43. > :11:46.later today. That wasn't the only Scottish gold medal. Here is the

:11:47. > :12:00.women's 400m individual medley. COMMENTATOR: About half a second

:12:01. > :12:11.lead for I Aimee Willmott. They have two legs left. I have got to tell

:12:12. > :12:16.you, Hannah Miley is coming back again, with the white hat, coming

:12:17. > :12:21.back very fast. Did Willmott go out too quickly?

:12:22. > :12:28.The crowd will lift Hannah Miley to a gold medal. She is digging in.

:12:29. > :12:34.Both are brilliant 400m swimmers. Miley looks like she has taken the

:12:35. > :12:40.lead, the crowd is going nuts. Willmott is looking the right way.

:12:41. > :12:44.It looks like Miley has got it. This is very tough, the atmosphere

:12:45. > :12:50.is extraordinary. The Scottish team are on their feet, and the crowd. No

:12:51. > :12:58.Scottish person has ever won a medal in the swimming pool, in Scotland,

:12:59. > :13:04.and this is a brilliant swim. You can see the British record. She has

:13:05. > :13:09.got the gold medal! Hannah Miley, for Scotland. What a start for the

:13:10. > :13:17.Commonwealth Games here in Glasgow. A brilliant swim from Hannah Miley.

:13:18. > :13:23.Silver to Aimee Willmott. The bronze medal has gone to Australia. But the

:13:24. > :13:30.crowd is on its feet, saluting double champion, well done, Hannah

:13:31. > :13:35.Miley. It is the result everyone has been

:13:36. > :13:39.wanting. The first race at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. A

:13:40. > :13:50.gold medal goes to Hannah Miley of Scotland. Absolutely brilliant.

:13:51. > :13:53.A new Commonwealth Games record. And the crowd is standing to salute a

:13:54. > :14:35.Scottish heroine. So, David, a fantastic start to the

:14:36. > :14:38.games. We will be speaking about the judo later on this morning. What a

:14:39. > :14:45.way to start the games? Absolutely. The show stopper right

:14:46. > :14:52.at the beginning we were looking for. Team Scotland were very brave.

:14:53. > :14:55.They manipulated the schedule is to make sure we had some good

:14:56. > :15:04.opportunities to win medals from the start, and it paid off. You can see

:15:05. > :15:07.the media today. It is so inspiring. Inspiring for the athletes to see

:15:08. > :15:12.early medals like that. The whole team will be on a high

:15:13. > :15:17.because of that. Back in Melbourne, the first day, when we won two gold

:15:18. > :15:23.medals, the whole team was lifted. A feeling of we can do this. You can

:15:24. > :15:24.see that in the swimming pool, in the whole team but across the

:15:25. > :15:46.nation. It is inspiring. courtesy of Hannah Miley. She really

:15:47. > :15:55.had a reason to smile. Absolutely. One word that describes

:15:56. > :16:00.her as resilient. In 2012 she came fifth having been absolutely

:16:01. > :16:08.expected to win a medal. So disappointed, she had to make

:16:09. > :16:13.changes to her practices, and one last night.

:16:14. > :16:17.Incredible to watch, it was only in those last couple of lengths that

:16:18. > :16:23.she took it away. Absolutely. And to know that your

:16:24. > :16:29.parents may well be ahead of you, but it is OK, it was calm and

:16:30. > :16:36.relaxed, putting all the right effort in. I was in the crowd

:16:37. > :16:44.shouting and screaming at her, it is why I am a bit hoarse today. It was

:16:45. > :16:50.truly amazing and they use the word inspiration. The feeling of

:16:51. > :16:58.excitement that the swim generator, right from the start, was amazing.

:16:59. > :17:03.-- generated. A very tight turnaround this morning

:17:04. > :17:10.for people like Michael Jamieson and Ross Murdoch. They will be back in

:17:11. > :17:30.the pool. This is the timetable today:

:17:31. > :17:38.Out of this line-up, Michael Jamieson and Ross Murdoch back in

:17:39. > :17:45.the pool today, have you any predictions?

:17:46. > :17:55.It is so difficult to predict. Both will be hugely full of emotion.

:17:56. > :18:01.Michael want have -- Ross will not have got back to the village until

:18:02. > :18:11.very late last night because of all the duties, the doping, and... So it

:18:12. > :18:15.is not a choice? And he will be buzzing.

:18:16. > :18:23.It is the biggest moment of his entire life. And he has then go to

:18:24. > :18:28.sleep, eat, get up this morning, and compete again this morning.

:18:29. > :18:36.And you say he now has a better event?

:18:37. > :18:43.His main event! We could see him on the podium again. There is a truly

:18:44. > :18:50.world-class field in the swimming pool. World record holders, the

:18:51. > :18:55.world number one, Adam Beattie of England, ranked number two in the

:18:56. > :19:04.world, she was using the 200 metres as a warm up!

:19:05. > :19:13.It gives you a sense of the strength of the field. We will talk to you

:19:14. > :19:17.again as the competition continues. A fantastic start at the Tollcross

:19:18. > :19:20.International Swimming Centre. And equal excitement expected when the

:19:21. > :19:30.Bradley Wiggins took part in his only event of the Games, but it did

:19:31. > :19:35.not quite go to script. The return to track racing Bradley

:19:36. > :19:41.Wiggins. But England have got their hands full with this Australia

:19:42. > :19:47.team. They really are under pressure.

:19:48. > :19:55.It is going to form. Australia leading the way. Down to three, they

:19:56. > :20:01.really were putting the hammer down, and have put themselves under

:20:02. > :20:09.pressure. Will the numerical disadvantage make a difference? No,

:20:10. > :20:15.the lead has gone up! England really are on the ropes.

:20:16. > :20:22.A sensational time, England have two settle for silver.

:20:23. > :20:29.And a sprint towards the line, desperately close! Just taken by

:20:30. > :20:42.England. This is a decisive race for gold.

:20:43. > :20:51.But England are just had too much speed for them! A tremendous final.

:20:52. > :21:01.This is not a knockout race. Stephanie Morton with the fastest

:21:02. > :21:11.time. Just two riders to come, including one of the great names in

:21:12. > :21:17.track cycling, Anna Mears. She is absolutely flying on that first lap.

:21:18. > :21:25.Victoria Williamson back in six place after that first lap. And it

:21:26. > :21:31.is a Commonwealth Games record! Gold for Australia.

:21:32. > :21:38.The final race at the end of an exciting opening day. The world

:21:39. > :21:50.champions in black, England in red and white. There is less than a 10th

:21:51. > :21:56.of a second in it! The world champions are under pressure.

:21:57. > :22:04.England just under three tenths of a second down. Dawkins leading the way

:22:05. > :22:12.for world champions New Zealand. Into the finishing straight... Gold

:22:13. > :22:31.for New Zealand! The Commonwealth Games record has gone. Called to the

:22:32. > :22:38.world champions. -- gold. Rob, you won gold in the 2006

:22:39. > :22:45.Commonwealth Games, what a great disappointment for Bradley Wiggins.

:22:46. > :22:54.I think so. Having been disappointed not making the selection for the

:22:55. > :22:59.Tour de France, then putting everything into this, the result

:23:00. > :23:06.will be disappointing, but this is only has a starting point for Rio.

:23:07. > :23:11.He sounded optimistic afterwards about his chances for Rio. Is he

:23:12. > :23:17.overplaying it? I don't think so. What the bride has

:23:18. > :23:39.set his sights on, he generally obtains. -- whatever Brad. She has

:23:40. > :23:43.an incredible palmares. I was surprised he did not do the time

:23:44. > :23:47.trial. But he has put everything into this event, and I think it was

:23:48. > :23:52.more about the processor than the actual outcome and result. Just a

:23:53. > :23:58.first step for the next two M years towards Rio.

:23:59. > :24:02.He was clear that he sees his future on the track rather than the road

:24:03. > :24:09.and was dismissive about the sphere surrounding road cycling. You share

:24:10. > :24:15.that, having done some road racing in your time.

:24:16. > :24:21.What he likes to do is throw the odd grenade and then run away giggling.

:24:22. > :24:25.But that was an interesting interview he did last night after

:24:26. > :24:31.the track. I think he is quite hurt after what happened last year on the

:24:32. > :24:36.road, his non-selection. But I don't think it is the end of his road

:24:37. > :24:51.career. And he needs the rest of that career to September for the

:24:52. > :24:57.team pursuit in Rio. -- to prepare. So they can go together?

:24:58. > :25:03.The road can give you back up for the track.

:25:04. > :25:08.The Australians were clearly superior in the end. Was it just a

:25:09. > :25:15.good night? It seemed to go to plan for them

:25:16. > :25:21.really. In qualification they were able to ride within themselves.

:25:22. > :25:27.Whereas the English boys had to go out on full gas because there were

:25:28. > :25:33.still two teams to follow them so they had no way of controlling their

:25:34. > :25:39.right. But when it got down to half distance, the Australians went down

:25:40. > :25:47.to three, then the third ride also began to drop off, but they held

:25:48. > :25:54.together extremely well. Where does that put them looking

:25:55. > :25:57.ahead to Rio? Are they favoured? They will certainly be a major

:25:58. > :26:08.factor in the gold medal. But actually have -- we have seen

:26:09. > :26:12.cycles, with teams dipping off then coming back up for the Olympics. You

:26:13. > :26:21.cannot keep that momentum going in between. It is just a shame that we

:26:22. > :26:25.have seen that at the Commonwealth Games.

:26:26. > :26:31.All eyes on the velodrome today. Games.

:26:32. > :26:39.Another English star of the Olympics, Jason Kenny.

:26:40. > :26:52.It is Jason Kenny, what a ride! You need a lot of power, you need to

:26:53. > :27:05.be very smooth. And speed and tactics? The best

:27:06. > :27:12.tactic is speed! I just want to win. Great Britain are Olympic team

:27:13. > :27:18.champions! And what a future this young lad has ahead of him.

:27:19. > :27:25.It feels like quite a long time ago. I was 20 in Beijing. Now I am

:27:26. > :27:33.26. I have been cycling seriously since the age of 14. This was my

:27:34. > :27:41.main goal, because I would be 24 in time for London, at my optimum.

:27:42. > :27:47.He wins the gold medal, and in style!

:27:48. > :27:52.What was London like you? How did life change?

:27:53. > :28:00.It was mental for a couple of weeks afterwards. But a few months down

:28:01. > :28:06.the line you slip back into normal life and training. I wanted to go

:28:07. > :28:15.well at the World Championships and they managed a gold medal.

:28:16. > :28:20.What a ride when it really mattered! So it was nice to back up that

:28:21. > :28:25.performance. I always look forward to the next event and do not spend

:28:26. > :28:49.long patting myself on the back. Chris Hawley -- Hoy bowed out, how

:28:50. > :28:54.have you taken the mantle? It has not got any easier. You

:28:55. > :29:01.always fight to win as many medals as possible. I have no Commonwealth

:29:02. > :29:07.medals yet, it would be nice to win, but it will not be easy, there is

:29:08. > :29:08.Australia, New Zealand are current world champions, so it will be a

:29:09. > :29:12.battle. world champions,

:29:13. > :29:44.And the timetable for this morning: And another busy day at the

:29:45. > :29:51.velodrome. Jason Kenny did not have an easy time getting into the

:29:52. > :29:54.quarterfinal. He did not. On top of the team sprint he also had

:29:55. > :30:01.qualification in the afternoon for the 200-metre sprint. Qualified in

:30:02. > :30:08.you live and place out of 12 qualifiers, the skin of his teeth.

:30:09. > :30:16.-- 11th. To be that far down was concerning. He is now up against

:30:17. > :30:22.Glazier, who qualified fastest. So it affects your position?

:30:23. > :30:28.As you go through the rounds, the fastest qualifiers always face the

:30:29. > :30:39.slowest qualifiers. So that makes his job harder?

:30:40. > :30:46.A lot harder. A stunning performance, a record in

:30:47. > :30:52.qualification. We have seen at least one Commonwealth record go in every

:30:53. > :30:58.single time event. In sum, two or three have gone in the rounds. It

:30:59. > :31:05.won't make Jason's job any easier. He has three different races, the

:31:06. > :31:13.best of three. For the women we will see Joanna

:31:14. > :31:22.Rowsell, the current world champion. In the individual pursuit. Backed up

:31:23. > :31:26.by Laura Trott and Danny King. Laura Trott is obviously world champion,

:31:27. > :31:31.multi-Olympic champion. Lots to look forward to in that event.

:31:32. > :31:34.This is the three of them racing together back in London, two years

:31:35. > :31:39.ago. That brings back the memories, the

:31:40. > :31:45.atmosphere in the velodrome here is on a par with London, it really is

:31:46. > :31:48.an incredible place to be. And the crowd, it doesn't matter what colour

:31:49. > :31:55.jersey crosses the line first, the crowd have been fantastic.

:31:56. > :31:59.A good velodrome, a good atmosphere. Everything is good. How have these

:32:00. > :32:07.three fared since London, what can we expect?

:32:08. > :32:13.These girls all seem, they had a bit of a dip, like most of the athletes

:32:14. > :32:22.after the Olympics. Generally, they have kept it on a level. They are

:32:23. > :32:32.young girls, they love riding their bikes. They haven't quite got into

:32:33. > :32:40.that, it is AJ Lee dog -- a daily job routine.

:32:41. > :32:43.Thank you. The cycling is all on BBC Three this morning.

:32:44. > :32:46.Before you go, Rob, just wanted to show you this.

:32:47. > :32:47.We all know what great cyclists Scotland produces,

:32:48. > :33:15.I love Glasgow for the character of it. I am looking at the place like a

:33:16. > :33:20.giant playground. I am always looking for some sort of perfection

:33:21. > :33:28.in writing. I am not competitive with other people, but I feel

:33:29. > :33:33.competitive with myself. It doesn't matter if it is 15 feet or 200 feet.

:33:34. > :33:35.It is important to me to feel I have done my very best and to make it

:33:36. > :33:46.look as easy as possible. You want to live in a city which

:33:47. > :34:06.allows you to be creative. Incredible, Danny McAskill. Some of

:34:07. > :34:09.that, I am sure you will have spotted, the crane behind our

:34:10. > :34:14.studios. You want to inspire people but that

:34:15. > :34:18.is the very extreme. Danny is an incredible brighter, I

:34:19. > :34:24.met him just as he was launching his first video. Talking to Chris Hoy

:34:25. > :34:30.yesterday, he said he wanted to ride across the roof of the velodrome on

:34:31. > :34:33.the side. It is only a few feet wide, but very high, but they would

:34:34. > :34:38.not allow him. I can see why they would not allow

:34:39. > :34:41.him! There are plenty of pretty scary places they have allowed him.

:34:42. > :34:48.You have two race off now. -- I know you've got to dash across

:34:49. > :34:52.the city to the velodrome now. At least you should see plenty

:34:53. > :36:02.of smiles on your way. Here's a little reminder

:36:03. > :36:02.of what's happening at the moment. You can see Wales in action

:36:03. > :36:04.against India in And on the Red Button, Wales are

:36:05. > :36:10.taking on Canada in the badminton. And don't forget to then press

:36:11. > :36:12.your blue menu button And if you want to see even more you

:36:13. > :36:17.can head to the website, where every individual sport will be

:36:18. > :36:19.streamed live. There's currently some badminton,

:36:20. > :36:22.table tennis and netball on there, Time to catch up with

:36:23. > :36:30.Ollie Williams. Ollie is keeping a close eye

:36:31. > :37:11.on social media as he dashes Not content with that, she actually

:37:12. > :37:22.sent a message on Twitter to say it tops the famous one at the Oscars

:37:23. > :37:27.party with Ellen de Generes. That has gone around the world. The Queen

:37:28. > :37:34.is a serial offender in this. If you look at this photo, you will find

:37:35. > :37:40.the Queen in the background, not smiling quite so broadly. Plenty of

:37:41. > :37:44.people had the Queen in the background of their shots.

:37:45. > :37:51.This photo was taken by Anna Meares, dining with the Queen at the

:37:52. > :37:57.time, in this next photo. She took a photo of her pudding instead! She

:37:58. > :38:03.wasn't allowed to eat it. She still has to compete, so she had to turn

:38:04. > :38:06.down pudding in front of the Queen. I have heard some of the staunchest

:38:07. > :38:10.food on offer in the Athletes' Village is also some of the most

:38:11. > :38:17.popular. Not everyone is as disciplined. Probably not too bad.

:38:18. > :38:22.What are you doing with your 71 club?

:38:23. > :38:26.It is currently six strong. I will tell you about the ten I am going to

:38:27. > :38:30.add to that. First of all, we have a challenge

:38:31. > :38:37.for anyone at the games back row to come up with a Commonwelfie -- at

:38:38. > :38:43.the Games. We have Scott Phillips out on

:38:44. > :38:48.Glasgow green a hive of activity during the opening ceremony. 10,000

:38:49. > :38:55.people packed there. Ian Harris braved the intense

:38:56. > :39:05.sunshine and took a Commonwelfie from there.

:39:06. > :39:16.And Rebecca Morton in this last one, with mascot Clyde, on the River

:39:17. > :39:21.Clyde. Please keep those coming in. If you are trying to teach your kids

:39:22. > :39:30.how to spell the word Commonwealth, don't go down route!

:39:31. > :39:42.And more about the athletes involved in the action.

:39:43. > :39:53.Dale Bennett paid tribute to Ross Murdoch.

:39:54. > :39:56.His tweet in capital letters said,, well champion! I think he is

:39:57. > :40:04.recovering from his podium experience.

:40:05. > :40:14.-- Commonwealth champion. Tell me about the mission?

:40:15. > :40:19.Trying to find an athlete to interview. The premise is simple,

:40:20. > :40:26.the execution may be difficult. An athlete to interview from all

:40:27. > :40:33.competing nations. I missed out on a triathlete from Bermuda. Today,

:40:34. > :40:42.there are ten coming up. The first of which will be at the

:40:43. > :40:43.weightlifting this morning. Those Australian weightlifters have

:40:44. > :40:55.Cambodian heritage, I want to find out more about them.

:40:56. > :41:02.And the Loy family from Papua New Guinea, five of them, all in the

:41:03. > :41:06.same table tennis team, including one of them who is the coach.

:41:07. > :41:12.You will have to race around the venues.

:41:13. > :41:22.The six you got yesterday? The Falkland islands, Mike Brownlee,

:41:23. > :41:25.badminton they are. To track cyclists from Ghana and Malaysia. --

:41:26. > :41:31.two. Ollie will be back here for Tonight

:41:32. > :41:34.at the Games every evening, hosted by Clare Balding and Mark Chapman,

:41:35. > :41:37.here on BBC One at 10.40pm. As well as the best

:41:38. > :41:40.of the day's action, they'll also have a live band in front of a

:41:41. > :42:58.studio audience and special guests. as planned. Oh!

:42:59. > :43:01.She has done it. Renicks, and her opponent goes over. A standing

:43:02. > :43:08.ovation from the crowd, their first gold medal for Scotland.

:43:09. > :43:14.He -- she took her apart, piece by piece, fantastic.

:43:15. > :43:20.Textbook from Renicks. Her tactics were superb. That was the way to do

:43:21. > :43:33.it. Closing her down. She put her under pressure.

:43:34. > :43:38.Tactically, her opponent was miles away.

:43:39. > :43:49.That turned it on its head. Oh, this will be interesting.

:43:50. > :43:59.She could get it on that. The referee is looking.

:44:00. > :44:05.Kelly Edwards who turned, didn't get a full rotation. She really could

:44:06. > :44:14.get it. If the referee is going to be consistent up to now, then Stott

:44:15. > :44:22.we have seen differently all day. So, she does get it. Renicks gets

:44:23. > :44:26.the gold, a second gold medal for the siblings. For me, they should

:44:27. > :44:29.not have given one of the penalties earlier on.

:44:30. > :44:47.No, it is never a nice way to win. it is what it is, a metal around the

:44:48. > :44:57.neck. What a start and I'm delighted to

:44:58. > :45:02.say that both sisters are with me this morning. What an incredible day

:45:03. > :45:14.it was, you provided Scotland with the best possible start, Kimberly!

:45:15. > :45:22.It was so moved writing. -- nerve wracking. I am ecstatic, let's hope

:45:23. > :45:30.we can keep it going. And Louise, you then did the same

:45:31. > :45:33.within an hour. We did not get to see each other for

:45:34. > :45:42.hours after that, Kimberly wasn't doping control. -- was in.

:45:43. > :45:48.So you did not even get to congratulate each other?

:45:49. > :45:56.We did not. But when we got back to the village at 1:30am I was dancing

:45:57. > :46:04.in the room! Did you watch any of her fight?

:46:05. > :46:09.In a small room on the TV. I could hear the crowd going mental. But I

:46:10. > :46:23.had to wait until I could finish what I was doing. We gave each other

:46:24. > :46:30.a couple. -- cuddle. It was good. How did you get into it?

:46:31. > :46:34.It was a family thing. My dad likes to do things for the community and

:46:35. > :46:43.he wanted to get us into fit is an self defence. -- fitness and.

:46:44. > :46:53.Everything in the environment we do together. Training, weights, travel,

:46:54. > :47:00.I would not want it any other way. It makes these moments special.

:47:01. > :47:10.Let's show everybody again. First of all, your fight, Kimberly. How tough

:47:11. > :47:13.was the competition? The Indian was very strong and had

:47:14. > :47:20.one big throw she had been catching people with all day.

:47:21. > :47:27.You had watched how she fought earlier in the day?

:47:28. > :47:34.Yes. You must focus on your own fight but keep an eye on who you

:47:35. > :47:39.might come up against. I didn't even know how to celebrate. I was just so

:47:40. > :47:49.happy! And Louise, you were up against... ?

:47:50. > :47:54.Kelli Edwards of England. It was quite a tactical fight. I'm somebody

:47:55. > :48:00.tries to attack all the time and get myself into difficult situations. So

:48:01. > :48:06.I knew this would be tactical and made sure I stayed really strong. It

:48:07. > :48:10.went to penalties. So the home or can you put in,

:48:11. > :48:18.judging who you might fight against, that is really important? --

:48:19. > :48:24.homework. Yes, and it really paid off on the

:48:25. > :48:30.day. First on the podium, getting your

:48:31. > :48:37.medal, in front of a home crowd. The crowd were amazing. Behind you

:48:38. > :48:41.all day. Even when you saw another Scottish person going out, whilst

:48:42. > :48:47.you were in the back warming up, your stomach would start churning.

:48:48. > :48:53.You think, they are behind me, I can do this.

:48:54. > :49:05.We had family, close friends, the governing body, every judo club in

:49:06. > :49:14.Scotland it seemed! We play rugby, recreationally, and they were all

:49:15. > :49:20.there with T-shirts. I was jumping around, screaming, I wish it had

:49:21. > :49:32.been on video. It probably is, somewhere! Do you

:49:33. > :49:38.now both have your sights on the Rio games?

:49:39. > :49:47.Yes, we will plan our competitions for the next two years. That is the

:49:48. > :49:54.next goal. What has been part of the common

:49:55. > :49:59.rock games taught you? -- Commonwealth.

:50:00. > :50:06.To make sure you are the fittest and healthiest you can be. It is a

:50:07. > :50:11.roller-coaster as an athlete, you are up and down all the time. But

:50:12. > :50:18.the support we have had from Scotland, the openness, telling the

:50:19. > :50:23.truth about how you feel, it has been a massive help. It is about

:50:24. > :50:29.hard work, determination, and the people you have supporting you.

:50:30. > :50:40.I have so much admiration for that determination and focus. You are now

:50:41. > :50:44.free to enjoy the rest of the Games. There are two days of judo

:50:45. > :50:48.competition left, we will go and support the rest of the team who

:50:49. > :50:53.were there for us. Then on Sunday we will go to the rugby finals because

:50:54. > :50:58.we are massive fans. Kimberly has friends in weightlifting. But we

:50:59. > :51:02.want to see all sorts of different sports, how they prepare, just

:51:03. > :51:10.generally getting behind Scotland, shouting for them. People got behind

:51:11. > :51:16.us who were not even part of the judo setup. It is only hitting me

:51:17. > :51:22.now. The emotion, all the support and there that we only know about

:51:23. > :51:27.now. A lady said to me, I was watching on the television with

:51:28. > :51:37.tears in my eyes. I said, what were they saying to make you cry?

:51:38. > :51:41.It was not the media, it was you! So, enjoy the rest of the Games, it

:51:42. > :51:52.has been fantastic to have you with us this morning.

:51:53. > :51:58.Badminton has already begun. Time now to catch up on the mixed team

:51:59. > :52:08.event between Canada and Wales. A reminder of what is at stake.

:52:09. > :52:16.Badminton is a fast-moving racquet sport. It requires agility,

:52:17. > :52:24.dexterity, and stamina, layers can cover to four miles in a standard

:52:25. > :52:35.match. You strike a shuttlecock over the 1.5 metre net. The unusual

:52:36. > :52:40.aerodynamic properties mean that it has a significantly higher top

:52:41. > :52:47.speed, 200 miles per hour. And a quicker deceleration than in other

:52:48. > :52:54.racquet sports. The game is decided when a player reaches 21 points, by

:52:55. > :53:00.a margin of at least two. Matches are the best-of-3. Six cool medals

:53:01. > :53:10.are for grabs in the men's, singles, and doubles competitions. As well as

:53:11. > :53:15.a combined mixed team event. We will concentrate on group D in

:53:16. > :53:19.the mixed team event. Eight of field in which only the top team is

:53:20. > :53:25.guaranteed to qualify, along with the two best runners up from the six

:53:26. > :53:31.groups. A loss for Wales yesterday means they really must beat Canada

:53:32. > :53:40.to have a chance of progressing. Each time is made up of five

:53:41. > :53:45.matches. This game was the best-of-3 sets, the Welsh had lost the first,

:53:46. > :54:11.and we join it at the start of the second.

:54:12. > :54:27.That is much better. Sailor Thomas is all over the place. -- Sarah. It

:54:28. > :54:32.is a tall order, they want to ask. But look at this, she is getting in

:54:33. > :54:55.front of Oliver. But as a trouble area. -- that is.

:54:56. > :55:03.A good flick serve. A shot she should not miss. Do the Welsh have a

:55:04. > :55:09.chance to damage this Canadian pair?

:55:10. > :55:15.More competitive start to the scheme than the first, which was essential

:55:16. > :55:25.from a Welsh perspective. -- to this game.

:55:26. > :55:34.Good play. A very soft block into an open space, just directing it,

:55:35. > :55:38.beautifully played. The vital third shot, well played by Alex Bruce.

:55:39. > :55:51.Serving really well. But as you said, a much better start

:55:52. > :56:35.to this second game. He is getting more into it now. The

:56:36. > :56:56.curse of the commentator! Yes! That is good play by Thomas. She

:56:57. > :57:03.really tried to move Bruce, it was good, play it clear, play the drop

:57:04. > :57:14.shot, and then down, very nice, good play.

:57:15. > :57:26.By far the best rally of the match by far. By far. What they rally it

:57:27. > :57:36.turned out to be. That will definitely boost the confidence.

:57:37. > :57:45.Too long playing with the drift, the Welsh, in this second game. A slight

:57:46. > :57:59.draught in the arena. That is neat. We have seen some

:58:00. > :58:04.lovely angle shots from the Canadians. He has a great touch, no

:58:05. > :58:38.doubt about that. Sorry! I can understand why she said

:58:39. > :58:41.sorry! She blocked it at the net but Bruce had already seen it. And that

:58:42. > :59:14.there was no angle to it, nothing. edge ahead. But a far better contest

:59:15. > :59:19.than the first game. 11-7 to the Canadians at the interval. This was

:59:20. > :59:24.the long, extended rally. Nice touch. That was missing at the start

:59:25. > :00:00.of the match. Good play. He is playing so well at

:00:01. > :00:08.the net, isn't he? He really has that touch. That was good. Aiming

:00:09. > :00:13.for that spot, and anticipated so well.

:00:14. > :00:24.That is out. Good fighting. Well played, I really think that was good

:00:25. > :00:40.play. But very well covered by Thomas. Be shot was a little behind

:00:41. > :01:24.him, it is so difficult then. -- the shuttlecock.

:01:25. > :01:32.Terrific, sustained attack. A little bit of variety. Then the power.

:01:33. > :01:54.Taking the pace away from that shot is not easy.

:01:55. > :02:13.Good play from the Canadians. A good attack. Impossible to get out of it.

:02:14. > :02:17.The third shot from Alex Bruce was really good, she served it really

:02:18. > :02:38.nicely. Bruce played it to the net. She knew where it was going. But he

:02:39. > :02:58.couldn't react in time. I must say, I have been very

:02:59. > :03:02.impressed with Toby Ng in this match. His positional play. He knows

:03:03. > :03:58.exactly where to cover. A very convincing victory for the

:03:59. > :04:01.Canadians. In the first part of that second game, it became pretty

:04:02. > :04:06.competitive. They steadily pulled away. And they should just why they

:04:07. > :04:18.are seeded in the individual mixed doubles event.

:04:19. > :04:32.That continues now live on the Red Button.

:04:33. > :04:35.We promised you some judo. We will have that for you. Here is your

:04:36. > :04:43.guide. Judo was first held at

:04:44. > :04:48.the Commonwealth Games in 1990. This is only the second occasion since

:04:49. > :04:53.then it has been staged. The aim is to throw your opponent to the

:04:54. > :04:57.ground, hold them down, or gain submission. The contest lasts five

:04:58. > :05:01.minutes, with points awarded for different throws and holds. The

:05:02. > :05:04.ultimate aim is to execute the which achieves the maximum score

:05:05. > :05:12.and guarantees victory. This can be achieved by throwing your opponent

:05:13. > :05:15.flat on their back, holding them down, and gaining submission with an

:05:16. > :05:18.armlock or stranglehold. If the scores are tied, the contest enters

:05:19. > :05:21.a golden score period, the first Let's go over to the SECC

:05:22. > :05:37.for the first bout of the morning. Ore Oduba will be watching this

:05:38. > :05:54.session for us, and a lot First, good morning to you. It is

:05:55. > :06:00.the only appropriate way to greet you here at the SECC. This is the

:06:01. > :06:07.hot ticket. We have a couple of fights going on. British interest

:06:08. > :06:11.will come very shortly. What a night last night, five gold medals up for

:06:12. > :06:21.grabs and all of them went to the home nations, three for England. And

:06:22. > :06:25.the two sisters, the privilege of getting the first gold medal for the

:06:26. > :06:32.home nation. A fantastic achievement. Scotland only got one

:06:33. > :06:34.gold medal in the last time judo was held in England. A fantastic

:06:35. > :06:45.achievement for them. There are four gold medals up for

:06:46. > :06:56.grabs now. I am pretty sure home nations fans will be hoping for the

:06:57. > :07:01.best. A packed 73 kilograms category for the men. We will be expecting

:07:02. > :07:06.one or two if not three of the medals on the podium.

:07:07. > :07:17.I will greet you properly as well. We had the Renicks sisters here. And

:07:18. > :07:24.talking about this fantastic atmosphere. It is incredible. What

:07:25. > :07:29.is really nice is to see they may be individual nations and territories,

:07:30. > :07:35.they are British competitors together.

:07:36. > :07:44.They had a terrible time in London. It came down to Gemma Gibbons

:07:45. > :07:53.delivering a silver medal. Together, the nations are enjoying each

:07:54. > :08:02.other's medals. A tight team. I am sure they will be enjoying success.

:08:03. > :08:06.All the gold medals for the home nations yesterday. They will be

:08:07. > :08:23.expecting the same today. Six, six home nations interests --

:08:24. > :08:29.interest. First it comes to Jan Gosiewski and Caoimhin Thompson.

:08:30. > :08:37.But first, Danny Williams against Connor Ireland. Let us go over to

:08:38. > :08:56.our commentators. Unbelievable. With ten seconds left

:08:57. > :09:01.to go. He did exactly what you said he should not do, which is to commit

:09:02. > :09:09.an error. It is not going to happen now.

:09:10. > :09:21.Looking at the video, saying he landed on his side and not his back.

:09:22. > :09:30.A waza ari is a near ippon. He had to roll onto his back almost

:09:31. > :09:36.completely. Now, Danny Williams going for the strangle. Can he get

:09:37. > :09:40.it? If that jacket is underneath. We can see it wasn't quite underneath

:09:41. > :09:47.the neck. It has to go around the throat. It sounds gruesome. Once it

:09:48. > :09:55.goes on, they tap to submit. Danny Williams, very good. But

:09:56. > :09:59.Connor Ireland is not giving up, representing Wales at the, what

:10:00. > :10:08.games. He is going to show everything he has got.

:10:09. > :10:13.He put on a fantastic show at the UK schools games, always a tense

:10:14. > :10:20.fighter, wanting to get further on come to showcase what he knows. He

:10:21. > :10:24.is a hard trainer. He is young. Is he training at the Institute of

:10:25. > :10:31.sport in Wales? They are producing some good fighters. A lot of these

:10:32. > :10:42.institutes have full-time systems. Now, somebody is going to go. Oh,

:10:43. > :10:47.Danny Williams tried it there. He likes his counters.

:10:48. > :10:51.Always a big chance with that throw, if you are not twisted enough, it

:10:52. > :10:56.depends on the referee's interpretation. He will have to look

:10:57. > :11:00.at the video to see who initiated it and if he turned enough.

:11:01. > :11:09.If they land together, there is no school given.

:11:10. > :11:11.-- score. A good decision. They have to stay within the yellow

:11:12. > :11:22.area. That was almost four Danny Williams,

:11:23. > :11:29.are they going to give it? He has given a yuko.

:11:30. > :11:37.He has given it the other way, I do not get that? I am surprised that

:11:38. > :11:46.has not been given to the video referee.

:11:47. > :11:48.The referee has scrapped the actual score.

:11:49. > :11:55.People might think you know what you are talking about! Maybe!

:11:56. > :12:00.I love how Ireland is not backing down from the experience. And with

:12:01. > :12:09.all of that ink, quite intimidating!

:12:10. > :12:14.He is really committing with that. He has not quite got the line, we

:12:15. > :12:20.are talking about lines of attack. Not quite the right angle to finish

:12:21. > :12:27.it off. It is a spectacular counter by Danny Williams, when it works.

:12:28. > :12:32.Credit to Ireland, he is doing well. I think Williams wants to make his

:12:33. > :12:39.mark. Looking for a big throw to start the

:12:40. > :12:42.tournament. Maybe that is his way of getting into the game, a big throw,

:12:43. > :12:54.to show the youngsters don't bother. Ireland is left-handed which is why

:12:55. > :12:55.he keeps getting caught. Danny Williams is going around the waist

:12:56. > :13:06.with that hand. He had to watch that belt -- belt

:13:07. > :13:10.grip. We haven't seen penalties so far. I

:13:11. > :13:16.will explain a little more as we go through. They will come up on your

:13:17. > :13:21.board as a yellow flag. More four penalties and it is this

:13:22. > :13:29.qualification. In some of the contexts, we may see a lot. Islands

:13:30. > :13:35.is going in for the shime waza. It is across the face, Williams is

:13:36. > :13:38.saying. You have to be careful and showed the referee because sometimes

:13:39. > :13:44.it looks like a submission, I have seen that before.

:13:45. > :13:49.Counter-productive, that. It can work against you. What we mean by

:13:50. > :13:53.tapping is when you go for a submission, pressure against the

:13:54. > :13:59.elbow or a struggle against the neck, when you tap, that means you

:14:00. > :14:03.submit and give the ippon to the other player.

:14:04. > :14:18.There is another school. Another score to Daniel -- Danny Williams.

:14:19. > :14:31.Five minute contest. If there was no is score at the end -- there is no

:14:32. > :14:35.score, then it goes into the golden score when any will win.

:14:36. > :14:40.That is going to be a penalty for Ireland. He will get a shido for

:14:41. > :14:45.stepping out, he should do. The referee hasn't given it.

:14:46. > :14:50.Williams is resorting to tactics and not just the big throw. One minute

:14:51. > :14:56.left on the clock. He has got to play it safe. And keep back at the

:14:57. > :15:01.Tattoo yuko lead. You can see quite clearly the right

:15:02. > :15:06.against left situation. Right-handed Ireland, right-handed Danny

:15:07. > :15:24.Williams. Sometimes, it is very difficult to catch the sleeves.

:15:25. > :15:33.grip up and be positive with our grips. That is why the baggy jackets

:15:34. > :15:45.are not for show, it is a weapon. It is our equipment. That is nice.

:15:46. > :15:48.Almost taken by Williams. I have done some work with Danny and

:15:49. > :15:57.sometimes he is not as tight as he should be with that. He has to go up

:15:58. > :16:02.onto the arm now. Now he starts, three seconds to go, it will make no

:16:03. > :16:08.difference, he will win the match, Williams for England goes through to

:16:09. > :16:13.the quarterfinal stage. Good first match for Williams, good

:16:14. > :16:19.warm up, get him into the Games, get his head together, get him sorted.

:16:20. > :16:24.He will go back and re-evaluate what went right and wrong, and look at

:16:25. > :16:39.his next competitor, see how he can improve on that performance.

:16:40. > :16:44.Credit to Connor who came out ready to fight, and that is exactly what

:16:45. > :16:56.he did. Yes, I think Danny Williams was

:16:57. > :17:03.thinking, just a junior, no problem. Did not quite get the control on the

:17:04. > :17:19.upper part of the body. Just hooks the inside of the lake and takes it

:17:20. > :17:30.backwards for a second yuko. -- inside of the leg.

:17:31. > :17:41.Danny Williams goes through. Called in at the last minute for Benjamin

:17:42. > :17:46.Fletcher. Danny, can we... ? He has gone away unfortunately. Benjamin

:17:47. > :17:53.Fletcher had to pull out with a knee injury, Danny must be absolutely

:17:54. > :17:59.exhausted, he will be happy but tired as he makes his way into the

:18:00. > :18:19.round of 16. We have just seen him go through but in the under 73

:18:20. > :18:23.category we had Thompson Thompson against Gosiewski, let's see how

:18:24. > :18:47.they got on. There are the fighters. There is a

:18:48. > :18:56.law of expectation for Gosiewski, he is a quality fighter, but not

:18:57. > :19:07.seeded. There are a few higher placed fighters than him on the

:19:08. > :19:17.list. In the white, Gosiewski, Thompson in blue. First round, and

:19:18. > :19:26.73 kilograms category. Chance for an armlock, quickly onto it. Problems

:19:27. > :19:34.for Thompson. He just spun out. Just in the wrong position. A little

:19:35. > :19:45.taste. He looks sharp, a good sign early in the contest. And now

:19:46. > :19:50.Thompson works on Gosiewski's arm. He has some fantastic new assets,

:19:51. > :20:01.Gosiewski, some very smart transitions. I wonder who taught him

:20:02. > :20:16.that! Just trying to settle on a grip now. You really must have both

:20:17. > :20:22.hands on. Does not come off. You will not be surprised to hear that

:20:23. > :20:33.Gosiewski is of Polish extraction. So is the referee. And back onto the

:20:34. > :20:39.arm. Taking nice control of the lapel. He will take his time to try

:20:40. > :20:48.to turn them over. Again they has slipped it, need work, the way to do

:20:49. > :20:56.it. Circle that leg around and then lose contact. Twice now Gosiewski

:20:57. > :21:03.has had the opportunity to work on the arm, on both occasions Thompson

:21:04. > :21:04.has been able to get out of it. A nice contest, flowing well with lots

:21:05. > :21:23.of action. Again, it does not come off. The

:21:24. > :21:27.nice thing about this is that Gosiewski is perfectly happy on the

:21:28. > :21:32.ground, he does not mind giving up a position on the ground, whereas

:21:33. > :21:38.other fighters would dislike it. He thrives on it. Perfectly happy. Even

:21:39. > :21:45.if it is not the best initial position, he can work something from

:21:46. > :21:50.it. Yes, although that leg was a little bit high, a little bit much

:21:51. > :21:55.for me, wasting effort and energy. Conservative effort and energy, he

:21:56. > :22:03.is ahead on penalties. Just under three minutes to go. Almost a slip,

:22:04. > :22:13.he was just off balance. He was going the wrong way. This is the

:22:14. > :22:18.speciality technique of Gosiewski, his legs are locked in and he's

:22:19. > :22:22.going for the turn. Once they are locked in, and they are strong,

:22:23. > :22:34.there is no getting out of there. You have to remember... Is that a

:22:35. > :22:43.tap out? Yes. Too tight. Fantastic. We spoke about Gosiewski's prowess

:22:44. > :22:50.on the ground, and that is how he troubled him. He did it beautifully

:22:51. > :22:57.in the end. A good start for Gosiewski England. Leaves Thompson

:22:58. > :23:05.unfortunately to draw one of the better fighters in the category. But

:23:06. > :23:13.it is Gosiewski we will see in the second round. Taking control. He

:23:14. > :23:18.takes his time. Legs in, automatically, he would have

:23:19. > :23:39.practised that position thousands of times. Very strong. Now that

:23:40. > :23:46.strangle will be going on. Bold, and the strangle was going on.

:23:47. > :23:58.You see it, and she thinks, no good, I have to tap out. Let's take a look

:23:59. > :24:18.at Patrick Dawson of Scotland, facing joseph Hell Bapou off-camber

:24:19. > :24:28.room. -- of Cameroon. If Scotland even have half as good a day is

:24:29. > :24:33.yesterday, it would be a success. Dawson in white, Hell Bapou in

:24:34. > :25:01.blue. think sometimes in the first fight,

:25:02. > :25:08.the nerves are there and sometimes the grips are a little bit weak. You

:25:09. > :25:26.need to settle your nerves, take your time, set the technique up.

:25:27. > :25:42.Dawson was a little bit rushed. He is settling in, now. He missed a

:25:43. > :25:47.trick. If you win a penalty, you don't want to give one top ten

:25:48. > :26:18.seconds later to your opponent. -- have one given against you.

:26:19. > :26:27.Less penalties for stepping outside the area so far. I know it is only

:26:28. > :26:33.the second of third fight, but yesterday we had a whole list of

:26:34. > :26:38.them. The fighters just paying a little bit more attention. That did

:26:39. > :27:19.not come off once more. Would be nice to try and set him up

:27:20. > :27:28.with a feint if he can. He is going to slip that leg.

:27:29. > :27:35.For me, that is too quick. Much too quick. I don't see the

:27:36. > :27:42.point in calling that, you know he is going to throw his leg across, by

:27:43. > :27:50.that time you call. He has missed that, I am afraid. A nice bit

:27:51. > :28:01.developing, and he called it too quickly. He is uncomfortable. There

:28:02. > :28:10.is something that Hell Bapou is not comfortable with. Just rolling back

:28:11. > :28:16.on his heels. That is why he went down, and he is likely to turn a

:28:17. > :28:29.little bit, or else he would have been out. He seems to be tiring a

:28:30. > :28:33.little bit now. Which is strange. If you look at him, he is in great

:28:34. > :28:47.physical condition. Again, everything to the rare from Dawson.

:28:48. > :28:56.-- rear. A feint to the front, and something to the rear and he will be

:28:57. > :29:02.in great position. And there it is. Just stretched him out. And in that

:29:03. > :29:13.stretching the children started to come up. A little bit of room to get

:29:14. > :29:23.behind in. -- the chin started to come out. Good to get a first win

:29:24. > :29:26.and feel like you had a real fight. That is what you need, you just need

:29:27. > :29:35.to get out there, and feel what it is like on the mat in front of your

:29:36. > :29:44.home crowd. A good start for the Scotsman. Winning his opening

:29:45. > :29:57.contest. We will see him in the next round, facing Gosiewski, he has that

:29:58. > :30:03.to come. We pick up where we left off last

:30:04. > :30:09.night, success for Scotland. We pick up where we left off last

:30:10. > :30:17.night, success The biggest cheer went for Patrick Dawson, who will

:30:18. > :30:27.now face an Englishman in the Battle of Britain, against Gosiewski. And

:30:28. > :30:32.later on, Danny Williams, who we saw earlier on, making his way into the

:30:33. > :30:38.last 16 also. They are in separate halves of the draw. So we could see

:30:39. > :30:42.an all England final, or it could yet another England versus Scotland

:30:43. > :30:46.fight. Either way, the fans are not disappointed.

:30:47. > :30:51.But the rest this morning?s bouts are on the website,

:30:52. > :31:03.along with all the other live sport which is happening right now.

:31:04. > :31:10.It is not long until those first swimming heats of the day. There was

:31:11. > :31:15.a fantastic atmosphere last night at the Tollcross is national swimming

:31:16. > :31:24.centre. Let us head right over there to the venue. Helen Skelton is

:31:25. > :31:28.keeping an eye on the heats this morning.

:31:29. > :31:34.Good morning. My team are just coming down from last night, how was

:31:35. > :31:39.it in here? Two gold medals for Scotland,

:31:40. > :31:44.it in here? Two gold medals for From Hannah Miley winning that first

:31:45. > :31:52.gold medal, it continued to the end with Ross. And a world record from

:31:53. > :31:56.the Australian team. Very emotion, -- very emotional, seeing family

:31:57. > :32:02.crying. Ross Murdoch. He dedicated it to his

:32:03. > :32:08.grandad. He looked so surprised. The crowd were not sure, as much as

:32:09. > :32:15.they loved the performance, they were not sure what to do. It was

:32:16. > :32:24.always about Michael. There was so much pressure on him. Ross's face at

:32:25. > :32:28.the end. 50m to go here. They were side-by-side all the way. I expected

:32:29. > :32:33.that Michael would have a little bit left at the end.

:32:34. > :32:43.Ross was so surprised. The difficult thing for Michael was that Ross did

:32:44. > :32:50.phenomenally well. He had a great day. Michael was

:32:51. > :32:55.aiming for that world record. He has openly said he had set his alarm and

:32:56. > :32:59.every morning he wakes up to that world record, he looks at it. He

:33:00. > :33:11.really wanted to get under that mark. Ross was more shocked that he

:33:12. > :33:21.did that time, not just a case of beating Michael. A big PB for him.

:33:22. > :33:27.He has overnight come from not being known in world swimming, and now,

:33:28. > :33:37.here's a to beat. The best time in the world this year. Ross is the new

:33:38. > :33:43.Michael. Seven home nations swimmers in that final.

:33:44. > :33:49.We will see both of them again later in the 100 metres breaststroke. If

:33:50. > :33:54.you want to see any of the heats from Tollcross, you can go online

:33:55. > :34:05.and see every single race. We have the men's 200m freestyle, heat

:34:06. > :34:14.number three. On the century times, the three

:34:15. > :34:29.fastest heats have the top 24 swimmers. The fastest swimmer is in

:34:30. > :34:33.lane four. It is circle seeded. There are normally only three or

:34:34. > :34:46.four heats. But we will concentrate on the faster heats.

:34:47. > :34:51.All Twitter questions are welcome. This heat, all three medallists from

:34:52. > :34:55.last night are back in action, how difficult will it be for them to

:34:56. > :35:02.recover? Definitely it will be hard. It was a

:35:03. > :35:07.late night. They probably had to go into doping control, fit in food and

:35:08. > :35:11.relaxation. This is what they have trained for. They have known the

:35:12. > :35:17.schedule for a long time. It is difficult. This morning, they will

:35:18. > :35:29.feel in control. They know they are swimming well. That is a bonus.

:35:30. > :35:35.These Scottish have a lot to live up to. Robbie Renwick is in heat number

:35:36. > :35:40.five. The defending champion. He has to get through this to get to the

:35:41. > :35:49.final. In the 50 and 100m bases, we have

:35:50. > :35:54.the finals the following evening. In the 200m, heat in the morning and

:35:55. > :35:58.final in the evening. There was no hanging about. The top eight will go

:35:59. > :36:17.through to the final this evening. Ross is reigning champion.

:36:18. > :36:40.First up we have the 200m freestyle. And here is the timetable.

:36:41. > :36:48.It is warm in here. And warm in the evening once the lights had been on

:36:49. > :36:58.all day. It is boasting. A busy morning. They had to crack

:36:59. > :37:03.on. One of the highlights of last night was the Australian world

:37:04. > :37:06.record. Did you expect them to go that quickly?

:37:07. > :37:11.Yes, everyone in the swimming world did. On paper it showed they would

:37:12. > :37:18.break the world record. They are the fastest swimmers in the world right

:37:19. > :37:29.now. What is nice is very had that target. They are a long wait ahead.

:37:30. > :37:35.They did not stop. They went for it and tactically give it right with

:37:36. > :37:40.who they placed in the relay. We will see a lot of them again this

:37:41. > :37:45.morning. How much of a confidence is it to have a gold medal already?

:37:46. > :37:53.When you have done all the training and leading up to a major meet, you

:37:54. > :38:07.get confidence from one race and it goes into other racers. -- races. If

:38:08. > :38:16.you look at the English team, they weren't a million miles away from

:38:17. > :38:21.the Aussies. Fantastic for them. The knock on effect is not just here

:38:22. > :38:26.in the swimming pool, statistically, it is Scotland's best ever, what

:38:27. > :38:34.games, and it tends to happen when they win early in the Games.

:38:35. > :38:42.It gets the ball rolling. It was the very first race. It is great for the

:38:43. > :38:46.English, Welsh, we saw loads of medals last night. It gives the

:38:47. > :38:57.whole British team a boost. They train together. A lot of them train

:38:58. > :39:06.in Bath. They know their squad is swimming well. It gives a boost to

:39:07. > :39:11.the others. Good to see James Guy get his first

:39:12. > :39:16.senior medal last night. In the World Championships last

:39:17. > :39:21.year, he shone out. When you come into a Championships, you still have

:39:22. > :39:29.to deliver. He improved again and pushed the other guys. It is nice to

:39:30. > :39:41.see for the other swimmers. We always need to see new talent.

:39:42. > :39:48.Liam swam well last night. Always good to see. Heat number three in

:39:49. > :39:53.the 200m freestyle, that as hand over to your commentators. -- let

:39:54. > :40:16.us. The result of the second heat of

:40:17. > :40:24.this 200m freestyle. A new Isle of Man record. A lifetime best by over

:40:25. > :40:30.one second. The big boys are coming out, the

:40:31. > :40:35.first of the seeded heats. David McKeon, what can he do after that

:40:36. > :40:41.fascinating 400m freestyle final, we thought he had it in the bag. Ryan

:40:42. > :40:52.Cochrane came from nowhere to win the gold medal.

:40:53. > :41:01.Calum Jarvis from Wales in shot. Nick Grainger, since the trials, he

:41:02. > :41:07.was at the ten weeks with a stress fracture to his back. Apparently he

:41:08. > :41:09.has come on really well. Ryan Cochrane, the champion from last

:41:10. > :41:26.night, a stunning last 50m. Heat number three of five. David

:41:27. > :41:31.McKeon of Australia, world ranked number seven in this event. He has a

:41:32. > :41:37.decent start, that yellow hat right in the centre. A little bit shorter

:41:38. > :41:45.than he would prefer, he prefers this to 400 metres freestyle. He

:41:46. > :41:50.went so fast in the 400 free but paid for it. With 75 to go it

:41:51. > :41:56.started to unfold. You have two try to learn from what

:41:57. > :42:05.you do. I have seen him go out over a second faster than that, and he

:42:06. > :42:11.tired up again. He has to work on that. He has a beautiful stroke,

:42:12. > :42:22.Calum Jarvis from the Seychelles, Calum Jarvis from the Seychelles,

:42:23. > :42:29.first over, Wales, actually. Certainly Wales! That is a gutsy

:42:30. > :42:35.swim from the Welshman. If you can keep it up and bring it home, that

:42:36. > :42:45.would be great to see. No semifinals in the 200. No mistakes. Jervis is

:42:46. > :42:49.turning first again. A big swim. He has a backstroke history, he

:42:50. > :42:55.changed to freestyle. He is coming away from the field. A phenomenal

:42:56. > :42:59.swim. He is taking McKeon apart. Going away, nearly a body length

:43:00. > :43:08.ahead. A strong kick. This is

:43:09. > :43:11.extraordinary. Calum Jarvis. A new lifetime best for him. Is it a Welsh

:43:12. > :43:29.record I think it is. Goodness me. He has beaten David

:43:30. > :43:37.McKeon. Remind me never to bet on swimming.

:43:38. > :43:47.I am not sure if Ryan Cochrane will make the final. Maybe from last

:43:48. > :43:51.night, his gold medal swim. This is super, the Welshman showing

:43:52. > :43:56.everyone how to do it. A new Welsh record. It will be tight to make

:43:57. > :44:07.that final. Heat four. The second of the three

:44:08. > :44:36.fastest heats. Fraser-Holmes in the Australian

:44:37. > :44:50.trials did the same, setting good times. He has said he can do it.

:44:51. > :44:58.They have just watched the third heat and it wasn't that fast. A very

:44:59. > :45:03.good swim from the Welshman. After that, I think the next two could set

:45:04. > :45:28.a pace. latter he -- heats.

:45:29. > :45:39.Fraser Holmes, third fastest in the world of this year, yellow cap.

:45:40. > :45:44.Great position for James Guy to be in.

:45:45. > :45:57.A really fast hundred from both of these guys. Out like lightning.

:45:58. > :46:07.Thomas Fraser of Australia forced to turn -- first.

:46:08. > :46:32.James Guy, a real talent for Great Britain swimming. But it is Robbie

:46:33. > :46:40.Renwicks. Fraser Holmes looks a little bit

:46:41. > :47:20.more comfortable. The British record, one. Lloyd, 148. James Guy

:47:21. > :47:44.just took two hundredths off his fastest time. He is right on form.

:47:45. > :48:00.Fraser Holmes winning. You don't want to be equal eighth position.

:48:01. > :48:08.So, defending champion Robbie Renwick, he has a big job to make

:48:09. > :48:17.the final. But should do it. He has not shown much form this year. 47.6

:48:18. > :48:27.his best swim this year. And in 48 should get him in the top three. But

:48:28. > :48:34.he has not really needed to. Yes, but sometimes it is good to put

:48:35. > :48:38.yourself in that fast speed. The fastest seed is McEvoy of

:48:39. > :48:47.Australia, world ranked number two this year. He has gone very fast

:48:48. > :49:02.indeed. Defending champion Robbie Renwick close to him. But look,

:49:03. > :49:08.McEvoy is off like a shot. Only a handful of people swam under 1.46

:49:09. > :49:21.this year. McEvoy the lead in that group. Now, it looks like Renwick

:49:22. > :49:41.it's coming back. The sort of thing he does. Good second half is two --

:49:42. > :49:48.of the race. As long as he can pick it up now. In that white cap,

:49:49. > :49:57.closest to the leader. It is still reasonably fast. 1.28 of the split.

:49:58. > :50:05.We are close to a Commonwealth record. Just a little bit down on

:50:06. > :50:14.it. But getting back like a rocket, really good from Renwick, really

:50:15. > :50:24.catching him up. He came back very well indeed. 1.47, he is definitely

:50:25. > :50:35.in the final. A hundredths ahead of Matthew Stanley in New Zealand, all

:50:36. > :50:48.three will make its head. There might well be a swim off. Yes, for

:50:49. > :50:52.seventh, eighth, and ninth. One place, three swimmers, they will

:50:53. > :51:01.need to do it at the end of this heat session. They have got a bit of

:51:02. > :51:17.a while. That was hard work for Renwick, but McEvoy looked good. He

:51:18. > :51:29.looks comfortable, and he has the seats for the 400 medley coming up

:51:30. > :51:42.-- heats. It is interesting, but he did it at the Australian trials. He

:51:43. > :51:51.is in good shape. He has come through, this guy. Last year,

:51:52. > :51:58.finalist but no medals at the World Championships. Olympics, just in the

:51:59. > :52:08.seats as a relay swimmer. So, just starting to show. He is only 20. He

:52:09. > :52:15.took on James Magnussen in the hundred metres freestyle and beat

:52:16. > :52:23.him. Which was quite extraordinary. Magnussen declared he was going for

:52:24. > :52:29.the world record. And up steps young McEvoy, and not only did Magnussen

:52:30. > :52:38.not brake the world record, but he came second in the race! The Dutch

:52:39. > :52:45.coach has now gone over to Australia. I imagine they would have

:52:46. > :52:46.had eight quick chat. Get yourself right, and of records,, records

:52:47. > :53:05.comp. Exciting times. We are heading for a

:53:06. > :53:09.swim off. Only one place available. Three swimmers will swim at the end

:53:10. > :53:22.of the session, racing for that one place. A horrible place to be in but

:53:23. > :53:25.I think Ryan Cochrane will thrive. A minor technical glitch but we will

:53:26. > :53:40.show you the results of the men's 200 metres freestyle. When we would

:53:41. > :53:52.race, if there was a swim off, all these rumours would go, swim off,

:53:53. > :54:01.swim off! I notice Rebecca did not join in! I've never had a swim off.

:54:02. > :54:12.You were never involved in one, never seen one? No, I don't think

:54:13. > :54:17.so. These guys will now have to swim again, then prepare again for the

:54:18. > :54:34.final, so it is really tough, but it is what it is about. The July that

:54:35. > :54:44.clapping? -- did you like that? It is my kind of thing! If it is one of

:54:45. > :54:54.yours, you don't like the swim off, but if it is not, you are not that

:54:55. > :54:57.bothered about it. Michael Jamieson and Andrew Willis

:54:58. > :55:07.put an amazing performances last night. There is a knock-on effect.

:55:08. > :55:13.You know what, the rest of my squad our swimming well. So it will be

:55:14. > :55:19.interesting to see what we get tonight.

:55:20. > :55:24.Davies is from the school of thought, you just get on with it,

:55:25. > :55:33.none of this entertaining nonsense! You just get on and swim!

:55:34. > :55:39.It does help. You spend 20 hours a week with your coach, you socialise

:55:40. > :55:45.together, so it does not mean that if somebody else has a nightmare,

:55:46. > :55:50.you will have one as well, but, yes, positivity does around the

:55:51. > :55:54.room, knowing other people have done it, seeing them with their medals,

:55:55. > :56:07.you think, I don't want to miss out, I want one of them as well.

:56:08. > :56:16.This is a big opportunity now for Fran Halsell, isn't it?

:56:17. > :56:23.Yes, she was disappointed with her performance in London and scraped

:56:24. > :56:27.only a bronze in the worlds, so this is a chance this year for her to

:56:28. > :56:34.make a name for herself a bit more and get the medals that she rightly

:56:35. > :56:39.deserves. This is in Barcelona last year, getting that bronze in the

:56:40. > :56:45.World Championships. Cate Campbell took silver, and she will be in the

:56:46. > :56:58.pool today. Not much between them, can they bridge the gap?

:56:59. > :57:01.On paper, she could potentially, but what was interesting about the World

:57:02. > :57:06.Championships was the fact that we have not won any medals, and it was

:57:07. > :57:16.the ultimate day, so what's the pressure on her performance. --

:57:17. > :57:24.penultimate day, so lots of pressure. A lot on her shoulder, but

:57:25. > :57:34.she stood up and performed. She made a change of coach last year.

:57:35. > :57:42.Sometimes those things take a shift. She is one of the most talented

:57:43. > :57:52.swimmers I have ever seen. Sprinters are born to sprint. It is down to

:57:53. > :57:56.your body make-up. She is one of those people who does deliver. Yes,

:57:57. > :58:02.the Olympics was disappointing, fifth, she came, but at every other

:58:03. > :58:10.major meeting she has stepped up and taking a medal.

:58:11. > :58:16.She seems like a great character. Always got such confidence out of

:58:17. > :58:22.the pool. It is hard to tell with her. She has

:58:23. > :58:25.changed coaches. She normally races are really well all year round but

:58:26. > :58:31.this year she was doing something a bit different so I am looking

:58:32. > :58:37.forward to seeing it. It will be an interesting morning.

:58:38. > :58:43.Courtney Butcher is from Guernsey, we also have swimmers from the Isle

:58:44. > :58:47.of Man, lots of representation from the home nations. Let's move over to

:58:48. > :59:13.the commentators. Joe -- Joachim, I would not be

:59:14. > :59:21.surprised to see in finals shortly. This is heat four of eight. We are

:59:22. > :59:36.seeing some of the less traditional swimming nations here. The Ugandan

:59:37. > :59:37.is the fastest seed. Courtney Butcher of Guernsey is in lane

:59:38. > :59:54.three. 50 metres freestyle. The pace is

:59:55. > :59:57.starting to hot up. I would imagine these ladies are a little bit

:59:58. > :00:06.spooked by the time of the previous heat. The 14-year-old from Saint

:00:07. > :00:14.Vincent and the Grenadines, below 27, extremely good. This looks like

:00:15. > :00:22.it will be the Ugandan, just, by five hundredths. A good swim from

:00:23. > :00:30.Courtney Butcher. Her lifetime best was 27.75. She has just gone .48. So

:00:31. > :00:43.a new lifetime best, well done Courtney. Once again lane for

:00:44. > :01:14.pulling out the fastest swim. Here are the results of that heat.

:01:15. > :01:20.We will start to get down to 26s shortly. So, the last of the

:01:21. > :01:30.unseeded heats in the women's 50 metres freestyle. We have already

:01:31. > :02:04.seen a very low 27. So, the last of the unseeded heats

:02:05. > :02:12.in the women's 50m freestyle. We have got some extraordinarily quick

:02:13. > :02:19.swimmers in the last two heats. And look at this. Going very well indeed

:02:20. > :02:35.in Lane 2, Hill of Northern Ireland. She got second. And her time, 27.23.

:02:36. > :02:41.That is a landmark for her. The Irish girl, a 14-year-old, having a

:02:42. > :02:53.fantastic swim, getting close to dropping under 27. Best time for

:02:54. > :03:03.her. Laura Kinley also doing very well, from the Isle of Man. I think

:03:04. > :03:10.it is probably going to be low 25s to make the final.

:03:11. > :03:16.I think you're right, Bronte Campbell might go even into the

:03:17. > :03:23.24s. She is certainly capable. So, the first of the seeded heats...

:03:24. > :03:30.Bronte Campbell of Australia, part of that world record-breaking relay

:03:31. > :03:35.team from yesterday. Davies, the 16-year-old, in Lane 7, for Wales.

:03:36. > :03:54.She swam a very good leg on the Welsh relay, actually.

:03:55. > :04:03.So, world ranked sixth is Bronte Campbell of Australia. This is the

:04:04. > :04:09.50m freestyle. Maybe better at 100m. But look at the strength and power.

:04:10. > :04:12.The two Bronte sisters on tub of the podium. Both gold medallists and

:04:13. > :04:19.world record holders from last night. What a family that is. Look

:04:20. > :04:25.at this, what a demonstration of 50m freestyle! Brilliant stuff! That is

:04:26. > :04:34.a stunning swim. Games record it is. Good heavens! What a start! Well,

:04:35. > :04:36.she is meant to be the third fastest, and it is a new

:04:37. > :04:42.Commonwealth record for Bronte Campbell of Australia.

:04:43. > :04:48.Wow! ADRIAN MOORHOUSE: We mentioned it

:04:49. > :04:53.before, the girls grew up in Malawi, swimming away from crocodiles.

:04:54. > :04:57.Fantastic swim! She was knocked out of the Delhi competition, the last

:04:58. > :05:02.Commonwealth Games, with Anja LeFevre. But the two Bronte sisters

:05:03. > :05:12.signalling their intent. I think this will be a time for the rest to

:05:13. > :05:23.aim for. ANDREW JAMESON: I am sure that will

:05:24. > :05:26.be broken again before this is done. That is clearly the comfortable

:05:27. > :05:38.targets to make it through to the semis, sub 26. Fran Halsall, the

:05:39. > :05:42.only British swimmer to get a medal at the World Championships last

:05:43. > :05:49.year, and that was in this event. Here is Amy Smith. Both women

:05:50. > :05:54.getting that silver medal last night, in the four times 100m, they

:05:55. > :06:02.will have been quite pleased with that, finishing behind Australia.

:06:03. > :06:09.The second last heat of the women's 50m freestyle. Fran Halsall of

:06:10. > :06:15.England getting a decent start. Very short, choppy stroke it is. She is

:06:16. > :06:25.in Lane 4, world ranked amber for this year. And these two are going

:06:26. > :06:30.well. The Commonwealth Games record has just been set. And it has gone

:06:31. > :06:36.again! So, for the second time in two heats, the Commonwealth Games

:06:37. > :06:40.record has gone. And I would imagine it may well go in the final as well.

:06:41. > :06:45.Fran Halsall sticking out a very, very strong marker. Really pleased

:06:46. > :06:52.for her. She is a bit of confidence swimmer, I think. Absolutely, she

:06:53. > :06:56.needs this kind of thing to she had a nightmare in Delhi, got a stomach

:06:57. > :07:00.illness, and did not achieve what you wanted to do there. But this is

:07:01. > :07:05.really good for confidence. She had one breath, about 15 metres out, and

:07:06. > :07:11.put her head back down again. I like the idea of doing that, getting some

:07:12. > :07:15.air in before the end. That is only two tenths outside of her lifetime

:07:16. > :07:29.best, which was set in one of those shiny suits.

:07:30. > :07:37.And what a final heat we have got here. Cate Campbell in Lane 4,

:07:38. > :07:42.Melanie Schlanger in Lane 5. The two Australians from that relay team

:07:43. > :07:50.which set the world record, but Cate Campbell was absolutely brilliant.

:07:51. > :07:55.Her split was 52.1, I think it was. Utterly extraordinary. There she is,

:07:56. > :08:03.Cate Campbell. Her sister set the new Commonwealth Games record in

:08:04. > :08:11.Heat 6. Fran Halsall just wrote it. And there is end be. Sub 24? We will

:08:12. > :08:18.see, but I think the record will go again.

:08:19. > :08:28.Sian Harkin, the 19-year-old from Scotland, is in Lane 3. And the

:08:29. > :08:30.Australians in the centre looking very comfortable. Look how strong

:08:31. > :08:36.Cate Campbell is in the centre. World champion on the 100m

:08:37. > :08:43.freestyle, and she is swimming away from Schlanger. This is brilliant. I

:08:44. > :08:48.think it may be under 24. 24.3. I am surprised, I think you called it,

:08:49. > :08:51.Adrian Moorhouse! Well, I will tell you what, the way she held the

:08:52. > :08:59.water, the strength of the stroke, was fantastic. I am surprised the

:09:00. > :09:07.record did not go again, though. Dig 24 is quite a big one to ask for.

:09:08. > :09:11.But she dominated this field again. I think it is between the two

:09:12. > :09:17.sisters and Fran, when we get to the final. Of course, it is semifinals

:09:18. > :09:18.tonight. Going into those semifinals, Fran Halsall is the

:09:19. > :09:59.fastest. 26th. -- under 26. Celebrating the

:10:00. > :10:01.world record last night, and gold medals, it is hard to come down

:10:02. > :10:09.after those things, but obviously they have done. So, here are the

:10:10. > :10:16.qualifiers for Fran Halsall goes in fastest, with her Games record.

:10:17. > :10:19.Then, the Campbell sisters. Amy Smith and Sian Harkin are also in

:10:20. > :10:23.there. Jessica Lloyd. Hannah McCarthy has made it as well - well

:10:24. > :10:32.done, excellent! So, a new Games record for Fran

:10:33. > :10:35.Halsall. We will be talking more about that in a minute, but now it

:10:36. > :10:39.is time to go back to Mishal Husain, who has got some news from

:10:40. > :10:43.the athletics. Yes, some news about the Welsh

:10:44. > :10:46.hurdler Rhys Williams. We have learned that he has failed a drugs

:10:47. > :10:51.test and is going to play no further part in the Commonwealth Games. That

:10:52. > :10:54.announcement has come from Team Wales this morning. He is a

:10:55. > :11:02.high-profile member of the Welsh team, the defending 400 metre

:11:03. > :11:07.European hurdles champion. These pictures are from an athletics

:11:08. > :11:14.meeting in Glasgow just a few weeks ago. So, he will be playing no

:11:15. > :11:18.further role in the Commonwealth Games, with the athletics due to

:11:19. > :11:22.start this weekend. It follows the news that he has failed a drugs

:11:23. > :11:28.test, and he has been handed a mandatory provisional suspension

:11:29. > :11:33.from all competition by the UK anti-dumping authorities. More on

:11:34. > :11:40.that later on, but now, back to the swimming heats. So, Fran Halsall,

:11:41. > :11:45.with a new record for the Commonwealth Games, but what do you

:11:46. > :11:48.make of the Campbell sisters? They are just absolutely totally in

:11:49. > :11:55.control of this one. Bronte just looked really long, really smooth.

:11:56. > :11:59.Mark did a stroke count on them all, and it was fascinating to see the

:12:00. > :12:05.difference between how Fran swims and how the Campbell sisters swim.

:12:06. > :12:11.We can hear from Fran now. What a fantastic swim? Yes, it is my

:12:12. > :12:15.fastest time of the year, so it is a nice way to start. Hopefully will be

:12:16. > :12:20.a bit faster tonight. But it is a nice pool, the crowd get you going a

:12:21. > :12:25.bit. Seeing Bronte go fast gave me the incentive. You might have to

:12:26. > :12:30.make the most of this Commonwealth Games record just for about 20

:12:31. > :12:35.seconds, because Cate is moving quite quickly, isn't she? Yes, it is

:12:36. > :12:42.going to be a nice final. It will be a close one. What do you see as your

:12:43. > :12:47.speciality now, or do you not really have one? Obviously, you had the

:12:48. > :12:54.injury after the Games, then last year you decided to specialise...?

:12:55. > :13:02.Can you see the time? No, it is still yours! That is a nice bonus to

:13:03. > :13:13.go into the semi with! Sorry, I got distracted. What do you reckon is

:13:14. > :13:18.your speciality? This is my year of finding out, really. I wanted to add

:13:19. > :13:22.the hundred back in and train a bit more on that one, and then after

:13:23. > :13:26.this year, make a decision on what is going to be the best combination

:13:27. > :13:31.for the Olympics. Really focusing on maybe just 50, or see if the 100

:13:32. > :13:35.will be good enough to get on the podium just that is what it is all,

:13:36. > :13:40.giving myself the best chance of getting on the podium in Rio. I do

:13:41. > :13:45.not want to spread myself too thinly, so it is all about trying to

:13:46. > :13:51.decide. Well, it looked fantastic, more of that, please! Thank you, I

:13:52. > :13:57.will try. That was Fran watching the final heat. Her stroke, you were

:13:58. > :14:04.counting hammy strokes she did, what did you make of it? If you look at

:14:05. > :14:10.the stroke tempo, Fran is not as tall as Cate and Bronte. She took 42

:14:11. > :14:17.strokes, compared to Cate, 31 strokes. It is all about the

:14:18. > :14:20.reaction of the block, the entry into the water, and trying to go 15

:14:21. > :14:27.metres under the water before you get going. If you look at Fran, in

:14:28. > :14:32.Lane 4, her turnover, how fast her arms are going over, she is doing 43

:14:33. > :14:38.strokes to Cate's 31. That is just the way she swims. You are trying to

:14:39. > :14:42.get yourself on top of the water. If you think of a speedboat, the faster

:14:43. > :14:47.it goes, the more it comes out of the water, because there is less

:14:48. > :14:52.resistance. But it does not matter how you swim it, it is who gets

:14:53. > :14:58.their fastest. Fran has still got a great chance. And that is the best I

:14:59. > :15:05.have seen her look in a heat. The best for a long time. I guess the

:15:06. > :15:08.theory and practice can end up being very different, as we saw last

:15:09. > :15:14.night, with Michael Jamieson coming in the favourite, but Ross Murdoch

:15:15. > :15:17.having a phenomenal swim. Today, they both go again, next to each

:15:18. > :15:22.other in the heats of the men's 100m. Not Michael's stronger

:15:23. > :15:39.different. But how will Michael becoming into this one? Because it

:15:40. > :15:45.is semi finals they don't need to push as hard, can be a little bit

:15:46. > :16:00.more relaxed. How will you feel this morning? -- he feel.

:16:01. > :16:06.Gutted. Absolutely gutted. The poster boy who seemed in such good

:16:07. > :16:31.form, very confident, on paper, going to win by a gap. But what a

:16:32. > :16:33.race from Ross. But hand over to our commentators

:16:34. > :16:48.and see what happens. So exciting, I cannot believe they

:16:49. > :16:59.have put these two guys next to each other. Ross Murdoch, his best race

:17:00. > :17:06.is said to be 50 or 100, and he won the 200 last night. What is going

:17:07. > :17:14.on? Michael Jamieson really has

:17:15. > :17:20.something to prove. Here, it is about Jamieson and murder. The crowd

:17:21. > :17:29.anticipating another head to head. -- Jamieson and Murdoch.

:17:30. > :17:37.Guy Davis from the Isle of Man is in lane one. Dawson of Northern Ireland

:17:38. > :17:44.into Mac. But it is really about four and five.

:17:45. > :17:59.There is a real contrast. He has the ability, he can really power out,

:18:00. > :18:08.but he has really sped up his/ -- his stroke. Not sure if he is

:18:09. > :18:12.hanging back on purpose. Curious to see if you can get under a minute in

:18:13. > :18:23.the heat after the effort of last night. Murdoch doing well. Richard

:18:24. > :18:32.Funk of Canada going well and the white hat. Look at that, so strong.

:18:33. > :18:40.A comfortable time, I have got to say. That is definitely the morning

:18:41. > :18:45.after the night before. Jamieson, through to the semifinal, I can only

:18:46. > :18:54.hope that was him just getting there, a time for tonight, then get

:18:55. > :19:00.back to bed. Only Jamieson can know what is going on for him, all sorts

:19:01. > :19:11.of Demons in his head. Slow off the block. Murdoch realised he was

:19:12. > :19:17.ahead. Then he concentrated on Richard Funk to his right. Just

:19:18. > :19:24.digging. Look how high he can still get, real power. It is really hard

:19:25. > :19:31.to get those arms to work in the last five metres. Ross Murdoch, the

:19:32. > :19:38.common world champion of the 200 metres breaststroke, comfortable

:19:39. > :19:45.through to that semifinal this evening. -- Commonwealth. The

:19:46. > :19:58.standard of swimmer in this hundreds metres breaststroke is frightening.

:19:59. > :20:11.The top four in the world included. So, here we have the defending

:20:12. > :20:26.champion and world record holder, van der Burgh of South Africa.

:20:27. > :20:37.This is going to be interesting. They do not need to go that fast to

:20:38. > :20:43.make the semifinal. Tactics? He will have to go for it, van der Burgh, he

:20:44. > :20:52.has not shown much this year and this is a big competition. Just one

:20:53. > :21:03.up from him in the lack cap, Snyders, uses his hips a lot less,

:21:04. > :21:14.more stock even other swimmers. -- stocky. Looking rusty, van der

:21:15. > :21:22.Burgh. Sometimes when you do not need to push it you just lose your

:21:23. > :21:36.rhythm a little bit. It looks like Snyders we'll win it. In second, van

:21:37. > :21:42.der Burgh, third, James Wilby. Certainly in the first four will go

:21:43. > :21:48.through to the semifinal. Very comfortable swimming in these heats.

:21:49. > :21:58.I think some are a bit hung over from last night. Not literally! I am

:21:59. > :22:09.curious whether van der Burgh has got the fire in him. That is a bit

:22:10. > :22:10.unusual. Looking a bit sluggish. Although third fastest time in the

:22:11. > :22:29.world, this year, mind. The final heat of the men's 100

:22:30. > :22:36.metres breaststroke. The world champion, Christian Sprenger, in

:22:37. > :22:45.lane four. Craig Benson in three for Scotland. It will be interesting to

:22:46. > :23:04.see how Sprenger shows after last night. A first showing for Benson,

:23:05. > :23:15.he was not in that 200. Sprenger in the Centre for Australia, yellow

:23:16. > :23:33.hat. The world ranked number one and two Inverness. -- in this. Katie is

:23:34. > :23:41.quite a strong guy, very powerful. -- Patey. Strong off the wall.

:23:42. > :23:49.Sprenger struggling to stay with him. His head is all over the place.

:23:50. > :24:00.I wonder if this will get under a minute. This is looking awful from

:24:01. > :24:15.Sprenger. He cannot be comfortable. 59.47. Very good indeed from

:24:16. > :24:21.Peatey, by far the fastest of the geeks. That was impressive and a new

:24:22. > :24:35.Commonwealth Games record. -- the fastest of the heats. He came fourth

:24:36. > :24:44.in that same race with Murdoch and Jamieson. He had to wake up and do

:24:45. > :24:50.this. Pretty impressive. On the other hand, the world champion,

:24:51. > :24:57.Sprenger, really not looking good. It could be a home countries battle.

:24:58. > :25:06.With the South African playing spoiler. A new Commonwealth Games

:25:07. > :25:20.record. Benson will be in the semifinals. But did not look good

:25:21. > :25:28.for the Australian, Sprenger. A games record for Peaty, only man

:25:29. > :25:38.through to the semifinals under a minute. Van der Burgh, nicely in

:25:39. > :25:54.fourth. Michael Jamieson in 10th place. A lot of work to do.

:25:55. > :26:09.The much discussed final of the 200. Adam Peaty, what a swimmer for him,

:26:10. > :26:16.a new games record. It can go to waste. People like

:26:17. > :26:29.Michael, Willis, the 100 is not their strength. Whereas Murdoch,

:26:30. > :26:34.Peaty, it is their event. I think Adam just wanted the confidence this

:26:35. > :26:43.morning. He wanted to show the others. Like laying a marker down.

:26:44. > :26:44.He could have had an easy morning but I think he wanted to test

:26:45. > :26:56.himself out a little bit. You two must have had a different

:26:57. > :27:04.night last night, did you get any sleep at all?

:27:05. > :27:07.I managed eventually! It took me time to get over what I did last

:27:08. > :27:14.night and eventually got five hours in.

:27:15. > :27:18.When you woke to see your face all over the newspapers did you think it

:27:19. > :27:24.was a dream? I have not been able to see any of

:27:25. > :27:29.it, television or newspapers. I have not seen any of the press. Maybe

:27:30. > :27:36.later. Maybe a good thing, just leaving it

:27:37. > :27:38.until later. Michael, you had a top night but you are an unbelievable

:27:39. > :27:48.professional, you just did behind you? -- will you just leave it

:27:49. > :27:52.behind you? I will just try to enjoy it now,

:27:53. > :27:58.soak up the atmosphere, and wish these guys are the best. Ross has

:27:59. > :28:05.written his name on the history books last night, but I know he will

:28:06. > :28:10.have one eye on the 100, and with his confidence, he will be dangerous

:28:11. > :28:16.in the final. Incredibly gracious of him to do

:28:17. > :28:25.these interviews. It is sometimes difficult. But these

:28:26. > :28:37.guys, especially Ross, he is just in a daydream at the moment. He just

:28:38. > :28:43.wants to let people get to know him. A little bit of a debrief with

:28:44. > :28:51.Sharon, and you want to stand and watch the other races also.

:28:52. > :29:00.The woman's 100-metre backstroke, Emily Seabourn is favourite.

:29:01. > :29:06.The Australian girls are incredible. But we have some strong girls,

:29:07. > :29:13.Davies of Wales, Quigley of England, Symonds of England, it is a really

:29:14. > :29:20.strong field. It will be a really tight race. There is no clear

:29:21. > :29:27.favourite. I do not think one person will be miles ahead of the rest.

:29:28. > :29:35.We go back to that breaststroke a minute ago. Number one in the world,

:29:36. > :29:43.Sprenger, he was awful. You were not impressed, were you? No. Australia

:29:44. > :29:48.have the Pan Pacific games, maybe he was focused on that, but they will

:29:49. > :29:52.remember the Commonwealth, what happened here right now, and if you

:29:53. > :29:59.do not perform, that is not on the result sheet. Like you said, you are

:30:00. > :30:04.still proud of your Edinburgh medal. For a Paralympic

:30:05. > :30:12.gold-medallist from Northern Ireland, her event is not in the

:30:13. > :30:16.Commonwealth Games, so she is going in this event instead because she is

:30:17. > :30:24.an accomplished able-bodied swimmer as well. That is what is so great

:30:25. > :30:28.about these games, what it embodies. It will be great to see how she

:30:29. > :30:33.handles it. It can be quite daunting. It be interesting,

:30:34. > :31:06.tactically, it works. There are only four heats, this is

:31:07. > :31:12.the first of the seeded heats. Elizabeth Simmonds goes in Lane 5,

:31:13. > :31:20.next to the fast Australian. The first time we have seen Lizzie

:31:21. > :31:24.Simmonds at this Commonwealth Games. It may be a little bit short for

:31:25. > :31:29.her, but she has had a very good season.

:31:30. > :31:45.So, the first of the seeded heats in the women's 400m backstroke. Bethany

:31:46. > :31:54.Firth of Northern Ireland is in Lane 7. Catherine Dawson is having a

:31:55. > :32:02.great year. She won the Scottish Championships at the age of 16.

:32:03. > :32:12.There she is with the blue. Simmons and Hocking, both 23 years of age.

:32:13. > :32:23.Now, Hocking coming away from the field. Simmonds struggling to hold

:32:24. > :32:28.on. It is still a very good swim from the Scot, Kathleen Dawson, in

:32:29. > :32:35.Lane 6. This could be a Scottish record. Hocking WinZip, very good

:32:36. > :32:39.from her, second was Lizzie Simmonds of England, and if I am not

:32:40. > :32:55.mistaken, that is a new Scottish record for Kathleen Dawson. Good

:32:56. > :32:59.swim in the heat. There is the turn, nearest to us.

:33:00. > :33:09.Hocking proving a little bit too strong. On the far left, Simmonds

:33:10. > :33:14.and Dawson battling it out. So, the first of the seeded heats,

:33:15. > :33:21.and it is a quick time, Belinda Hocking clearly laying down a mask

:33:22. > :33:28.-- laying down a marker. Sub-60, that is very impressive. Was it a

:33:29. > :33:33.Commonwealth Games record, actually I know I think it was. They have not

:33:34. > :33:44.shown it yet, but I think it was. Yes, Commonwealth Games record. Yes,

:33:45. > :33:48.by one 100th of a second. So, the second of the seeded heats, and

:33:49. > :33:53.Georgia Davies of Wales, what a great opportunity for a medal she

:33:54. > :33:56.will have. But tonight, but tomorrow in the final. She has got to get

:33:57. > :34:03.there first, though, via the semis tonight. Rachel Williams goes for

:34:04. > :34:12.Wales in Lane 2. She trains down in Bath. And the Welsh record-holder,

:34:13. > :34:23.Georgia Davies, in Lane 5. Next to her is Wilson of Australia. I think

:34:24. > :34:25.Georgia Davies will go sub-60. Her best time is pretty much exactly the

:34:26. > :34:37.same, 59.78. So, two lengths of backstroke, 15

:34:38. > :34:42.metres underwater. I tell you what, right on the edge, Georgia Davies,

:34:43. > :34:49.in Lane 4, with the white hat. You cannot go past the 15 metre mark. It

:34:50. > :34:54.was right on the line, wasn't it? It was. I was watching her do some

:34:55. > :34:58.practising, and her coaches were pulling her back of it. Good

:34:59. > :35:10.swimming from Lauren Quigley, the 19-year-old. From the English team.

:35:11. > :35:14.Oh, good turn again from Georgia Davies, using pretty much the whole

:35:15. > :35:21.of the 15 metres. That has really affected the race. Edison Wilson was

:35:22. > :35:30.ahead, but Davies's turn put her back into contention. Madison Wilson

:35:31. > :35:45.leading for Australia, but I think she has been overtaken by Quigley.

:35:46. > :35:51.Interesting way of swimming it from Lauren Quigley. She was out

:35:52. > :36:00.relatively slow, but brought it back very strongly. Absolutely, the

:36:01. > :36:10.strongest swimmer in good underwater from Davies, staying underwater for

:36:11. > :36:15.the full 15 metres. She looks a lot like her mum, doesn't she? Yes, she

:36:16. > :36:37.does! And her dad. So, there is the result. One heat to

:36:38. > :36:42.go. I think Rachel Williams will make it through to the semis as

:36:43. > :36:45.well, with just one heat to go. She is eighth so far, in fact, socially

:36:46. > :36:53.will certainly make it through. So, the final heat. World ranked number

:36:54. > :36:59.one is Emily Seebohm. She has already seen her team-mate going

:37:00. > :37:20.sub-60. It will be interesting to see how she goes now.

:37:21. > :37:34.So, the final heat of the women's 100m backstroke. A very good start

:37:35. > :37:39.indeed. I wonder if Emily Seebohm will try to get her record back. It

:37:40. > :37:42.is good to see Seebohm leading the race out. She was really

:37:43. > :37:47.disappointed after 2012, I think she felt she could have done more. She

:37:48. > :37:51.had a great Commonwealth Games in Delhi, eight medals out of eight

:37:52. > :38:06.races. Well, half a second separates the first three, and Seebohm, again,

:38:07. > :38:10.a good turn. 29.0 is OK out, I do not think she will go sub-60 after

:38:11. > :38:20.that. She could do. She is swimming pretty well. The Canadians are going

:38:21. > :38:32.with her. But at that, a new Commonwealth Games record. She just

:38:33. > :38:35.went 29.0, 30.5. That is pretty impressive splits. She is a real

:38:36. > :38:43.threat. World ranked number one this year. Fastest qualifier into the

:38:44. > :38:52.race. So, Seebohm, the one to watch, really. Just doing the job, through

:38:53. > :38:59.to the semis. ANDREW JAMESON: Back is the third

:39:00. > :39:03.fastest time in the world this year. ADRIAN MOORHOUSE: Good swimming from

:39:04. > :39:12.the Canadians, though, Russell and Snodgrass, they were quite close.

:39:13. > :39:23.Jessica Love should also make it through to the semis. The youngster

:39:24. > :39:26.Hill might not make it. In actual fact, she is tied for 16th, she will

:39:27. > :39:33.have a swim-off to get into the semis. So, here are the

:39:34. > :39:39.semifinalists confirmed. Almost as expected. You could see Lauren

:39:40. > :39:43.Quigley getting amongst the medals, that she has just got to qualify

:39:44. > :39:47.tonight. Georgia Davies, in seventh, a little bit of a surprise. Kathleen

:39:48. > :40:02.Dawson, breaking that Scottish record.

:40:03. > :40:09.I can tell you that there is a swim-off for that 16th place, and it

:40:10. > :40:10.is between the Kenyan and Danielle Hill, the 14-year-old from Northern

:40:11. > :40:21.Ireland. But right now, we turn our attention

:40:22. > :40:26.to a swim-off for the one Remaining Place in the 200 metre final. Mark

:40:27. > :40:34.is excited, he wanted to start up a Mexican wave, Rebecca, not so up for

:40:35. > :40:37.it? No, they are always exciting, but I like it when it is just to

:40:38. > :40:47.swimmers. This time it is three, and all of them want that spot. It is

:40:48. > :40:58.like a dance off in Strictly. Mark's line!

:40:59. > :41:04.ANDREW JAMESON: So, looking forward to this one. One spot available -3

:41:05. > :41:23.swimmers in it. On paper, it is Cochrane, but they

:41:24. > :41:30.are not swimming on paper, Adrian. ADRIAN MOORHOUSE: It is interesting

:41:31. > :41:43.that they have put it now, rather than later. So, Ieuan Lloyd is

:41:44. > :41:50.closest to us. No, sorry, I am not sure they have got them in the right

:41:51. > :41:55.lanes, have they...? It says on the board here, Ieuan Lloyd of Wales is

:41:56. > :42:03.in Lane 3. And it says Nick Grainger of England is in Lane 4 and Ryan

:42:04. > :42:11.Cochrane is in Lane 5. But I think yes, Lloyd is nearest to us.

:42:12. > :42:18.Grainger with the black from England is the one that is leading. So, Nick

:42:19. > :42:23.Grainger, from England. He has got a length up on the first 100. We know

:42:24. > :42:28.that Ryan Cochrane in the middle has got a good finish on him. He will

:42:29. > :42:36.wind this up. So, Grainger goes over first. Cochrane is in the centre, in

:42:37. > :42:40.second. And in third, it is Ieuan Lloyd, closest to us. Grainger has

:42:41. > :42:45.gone out really hard. This is sort of how it went in the heats, and

:42:46. > :42:51.Ryan Cochrane, who won the 400m, came back. He can do it, but he has

:42:52. > :42:56.got clear water between him and Cochrane. It is not over, when you

:42:57. > :43:01.have got Ryan Cochrane in a race like this, with 50m to go... So, it

:43:02. > :43:08.is Grainger leading, Ryan Cochrane coming back. Has Grainger done

:43:09. > :43:12.enough? He might have, you know. Cochrane is working very hard for

:43:13. > :43:17.Canada, I do not think he is going to catch Grainger. Look at this. It

:43:18. > :43:31.looks like Grainger is going to hold on. Grainger gets it, Ieuan Lloyd

:43:32. > :43:38.second, Cochrane third. I can tell you that graphic is wrong, Nick

:43:39. > :43:42.Grainger has made it through. And I have got to say, all three of them

:43:43. > :43:47.going faster than the time they set in the heats. And if any of them had

:43:48. > :43:52.set that time there would not have been a swim-off. But it is Grainger

:43:53. > :44:01.who has gone through. Brilliant, that is how you do it. Cochrane

:44:02. > :44:08.grimacing a bit. But now he can focus on that 1500m. This was the

:44:09. > :44:17.150 mark. Lloyd having a look over. Cochrane had a big look of that

:44:18. > :44:23.turn. Just a bit too much to make up on more of a sprint race. And it was

:44:24. > :44:29.Grainger who fractured his back, wasn't it? Yes, I was speaking to

:44:30. > :44:33.somebody at Sheffield who said he had a stress fracture in his back

:44:34. > :44:37.and he was out for ten weeks, and he has come back and looked even better

:44:38. > :44:45.than he ever did. That was a super swim. So, I can confirm that Nick

:44:46. > :44:47.Grainger won that swim-off, so he gets a place in the final of the

:44:48. > :45:04.men's 200m freestyle. Let's look ahead to the 400m IM.

:45:05. > :45:08.Good result there in the end. So, he gets his place in the final tonight.

:45:09. > :45:12.We will see that with Clare Balding from seven o'clock in here. Now,

:45:13. > :45:21.let's turn our attention to the men's 400m IM. A good friend of

:45:22. > :45:31.yours goes in this one? Tom Layfield. He has been part of the

:45:32. > :45:37.swimming a long time. But there is not a lot going on here, these guys

:45:38. > :45:44.can relax a little bit, they do not need to go all out to make the

:45:45. > :45:51.final. And a British record earlier in the

:45:52. > :45:56.year will give him a bit of a boost. This is a slightly open event which

:45:57. > :46:08.is nice. Australia will not necessarily dominate, or anyone

:46:09. > :46:15.dominate. A good chance for Pavone, Fraser Holmes had a good race

:46:16. > :46:19.earlier, but will he be tired now? It might not matter this morning,

:46:20. > :46:24.but come the final he might be a little more tired than the others.

:46:25. > :46:32.It is about your own race plan, tempo, getting it right.

:46:33. > :46:38.The crowd are whipped into a frenzy. You might hear this at a football

:46:39. > :46:46.match, but you are hearing it now in a swimming pool.

:46:47. > :46:57.This is all about time in this heat going into the final this evening.

:46:58. > :47:14.The men's 400 medley. You saw the Commonwealth Games record just the,

:47:15. > :47:22.-- just there, but the holders not at these games. Russo of South

:47:23. > :47:31.Africa in the lane for M. Russell Scotland in five.

:47:32. > :47:38.Africa in the lane for M. Russell when you set yourself. You have your

:47:39. > :47:51.routine. If something is not right, it is about timing. You can see them

:47:52. > :47:56.conferring. Oh, I don't know. It is interesting. I am just looking

:47:57. > :48:04.at the start having a chat with them, what are they talking about?

:48:05. > :48:08.-- the starter. It is quite serious, something is

:48:09. > :48:18.going on I think. They are having to work out what to do about it.

:48:19. > :48:26.So many big shocks last night. You are right. Dan Wallace has a

:48:27. > :48:33.great breaststroke as well. They are still chatting about something. I

:48:34. > :48:44.wonder if they still thought that the caption was right and they have

:48:45. > :48:51.just realised it was wrong. But they can sort it out later. I really like

:48:52. > :49:00.the sky, Wallace, now trains in the United States. -- this by. Russo is

:49:01. > :49:08.in the same university team, team-mates in America.

:49:09. > :49:16.The first of two heats in the men's 400 metres individual medley. Wall

:49:17. > :49:31.is of Scotland in five. The hack Wallace. -- wall is.

:49:32. > :49:52.Russo leading out the race. Wallace has got a good breaststroke. This is

:49:53. > :50:03.about what you would expect. Lane six, we are out of short, not having

:50:04. > :50:12.a good race, Tom Hadfield. 55.6, very fast indeed. 56.4, from

:50:13. > :50:28.Wallace. From the University of Florida. Lovely strokes. Look at

:50:29. > :50:40.that. It is good for Wallace, he just needs to hang in there. Went

:50:41. > :50:47.out in 56.2. Let's see what happens in the breaststroke. It is for

:50:48. > :50:58.Wallace to try to make up that distance. Let's not forget Luke

:50:59. > :51:05.Reilly. The 18-year-old from Canada. Can you see him?

:51:06. > :51:13.They know exactly how many strokes to do before they flick over.

:51:14. > :51:26.Russo leading at the halfway mark, from South Africa. Wallace from

:51:27. > :51:35.Scotland, now starting to work his breaststroke. Particularly quick. I

:51:36. > :51:40.would not be surprised if he ends up at a decent medal in the final

:51:41. > :51:45.tonight. It would be great to see that. His

:51:46. > :51:58.parents sold the family home to centre into America. He is one of

:51:59. > :52:09.five children. -- to send him to. I bet he is excited to be within a

:52:10. > :52:16.second of Russo. On the freestyle he must be able to hold this and go

:52:17. > :52:23.through. I think you are right. This is a real challenge for a gold or

:52:24. > :52:29.silver medal here from him. Just has to save a little bit for tonight.

:52:30. > :52:38.This will be a massive Scottish record. I reckon it could even be a

:52:39. > :52:47.British record. If he goes for 4.10, he could be second-fastest in

:52:48. > :52:52.the world. Tom Hadfield holds the British

:52:53. > :53:15.record, he is having a nightmare. The crowd are going not. -- nuts. A

:53:16. > :53:23.very good swim indeed. A new Commonwealth Games record for

:53:24. > :53:30.Wallace of Scotland. Another fantastic swim from him. To go with

:53:31. > :53:37.the Scottish record he set in the 400 metres freestyle. I tell you

:53:38. > :53:48.what, the rest of the field will be sitting thinking, oh my word. Waving

:53:49. > :53:55.to the crowd and rightly so. A talented swimmer who has had some

:53:56. > :53:59.tribulations over in the States. He is putting it behind him and letting

:54:00. > :54:11.his talent show. Really made that count and took a good 2.5 seconds

:54:12. > :54:15.out of Russo. Powering away. There are two Scotsman in the next

:54:16. > :54:26.race, he is shouting to them, good lock! Good man.

:54:27. > :54:40.A new Commonwealth Games record for Dan Wallace. I am not sure that

:54:41. > :54:45.fourth place will be quick enough. Should be all right into rooms of

:54:46. > :54:53.placing but the time is not great. -- in terms.

:54:54. > :55:07.The Australian fastest cedars in lane four -- fastest seed is in.

:55:08. > :55:12.Louis Smith of Scotland in three. More home nation interest. Louis

:55:13. > :55:25.Smith of Scotland in lane three. More home nation interest. Louis

:55:26. > :55:29.Smith of Scotland in He and Pavoni are both good but I am not sure they

:55:30. > :55:48.will make a dent in the time of Fraser Holmes. Lovely underwater

:55:49. > :55:52.shot. Not bad at all from Pavoni but it is the world ranked number three,

:55:53. > :55:59.Fraser Holmes of Australia, leading them out. But we have just seen a

:56:00. > :56:10.really quick first heat and a new British record from Dan Wallace.

:56:11. > :56:17.Scottish swimming, goodness me! Golds and silvers, another three

:56:18. > :56:28.through in the 200 metres breaststroke. They all seem to be

:56:29. > :56:32.performing well. It gives momentum. You are in charge of your own

:56:33. > :56:42.individual preparation but it gives you a lift to see friends and

:56:43. > :56:47.colleagues and team-mates do well. Fraser Holmes a real classy

:56:48. > :57:11.swimmer. Already swamped today earlier on. If you does this he will

:57:12. > :57:21.be in two finals. -- if he. Did not use the full distance. Sometimes

:57:22. > :57:28.very difficult and the backstroke. Sterling started his career at

:57:29. > :57:38.Warrington. His mum and dad run a swimming teaching school. Really

:57:39. > :57:49.making the most of the backstroke leg. Halfway through. Travis Mahoney

:57:50. > :57:59.of Australia leads. Fraser Holmes is maybe just about in second place

:58:00. > :58:07.stop Louis Smith of Scotland, and they only have two set 4.19, the

:58:08. > :58:10.time that Tom Hadfield set. The question for me is whether

:58:11. > :58:19.Fraser Holmes will do anything about his colleague, the older of the two,

:58:20. > :58:32.Travis Mahoney. Four. 17 a personal best time. He has been in relay

:58:33. > :58:36.teams in the freestyle before. Smith has now decided not to hang around

:58:37. > :58:43.and try to get onto the shoulder of Travis Mahoney.

:58:44. > :58:55.You can quite see it but in lane number seven, Ross Muir of Scotland,

:58:56. > :59:01.he is right with the format in the centre -- the four in the centre,

:59:02. > :59:07.and he could really make a final here.

:59:08. > :59:30.Smith just bridging the gap between the two Australians. Keeping that

:59:31. > :59:36.full kit going. -- kick. Smith and Pavoni, good positions.

:59:37. > :59:46.I think Ross Muir might make it through. I think he could. I think

:59:47. > :59:55.he could even go with 31. Travis Mahoney hanging on well. Pavoni

:59:56. > :00:02.Looking good, he may well take it. Fraser Holmes third. Fourth was

:00:03. > :00:13.Louis Smith. They will all go through. Has fifth made it in? I

:00:14. > :00:16.think, in lane seven, Ross Muir has made it to the final by a hundredth

:00:17. > :00:25.of a second.
