England dominated the triathlon, but it was all about Scotland | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
In a moment, we'll look back on the medals won there and in the track. | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
Another great day awaits, and here's the action we have | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
We'll have the best of the early action | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
at the badminton, as Wales get underway in the mixed team event. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Then we're off to one of the hits of the games, the judo, | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
which has become something of a Scottish fortress. | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
It'll be just as noisy at the Tollcross Swimming Centre. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
England's Fran Halsall will be in the water for the first time. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
There's sure to be a roar then when the local favourites | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Ross Murdoch and Michael Jamieson take to the water again. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
And we'll have Georgia Davies on our minds. | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
The Welsh medal hope goes in the 100m backstroke heats. | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
So, here's the timings for you to plan your morning. | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
In a moment, we'll be looking forward to the day's swimming, | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
and taking a look back on a dramatic evening in the pool. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |

Then we'll look forward to the day?s cycling, | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
and talk about whether England's Olympic Sprint champion Jason Kenny | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
can rediscover his form, or will the Australians dominate again? | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
Then, at around 9.40am, we're off to the badminton, | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
followed by judo as it?s the turn of the men in the 63 kg division, and | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Then, at 10.30am, it's back to the pool, | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
BBC Three is also on from nine o'clock in the morning every day. | :03:19. | :03:27. | |

And every sport is live on the website, at bbc.co.uk/glasgow2014. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
What a night it was in the swimming pool especially for Scotland. David | :03:52. | :04:21. | |
Carry will be talking about that. Let us take a look back on the 200m | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
breaststroke final featuring Michael Jamieson. It did not go quite as | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
expected. Take your marks. | :04:31. | :04:44. | |
A great start, a huge roar from the crowd as they started. A really good | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
first 15 minutes for Andrew Willis of England, probably the best start. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Also, the former world record holder closest to us with the yellow Hat, | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
from Australia. As expected, going out fast, but in the heat, he paid | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
for it. It is his only tactic. He was talking himself down all week on | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
this event, he might pull out of it. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
I will be surprised if he holds it. And in the second lane, a really | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
good swimmer in the Black Hat. Jamieson is looking very strong. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Ross Murdoch, to the right of the other lanes. Jamieson and Murdoch. | :05:30. | :05:39. | |
This might push Jamieson to a record, I am not sure. It is hard to | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
call. Now, Jamieson is starting to go, the | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
blue hat in the centre is Michael Jamieson. This is his strength, the | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
third 50m. One lane closed it is his team-mate, Andrew Willis of | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
England. They haven't dropped the rest of the field. The Scotsman is | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
coming through in the centre. Ross Murdoch and Michael Jamieson | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
are the only capable in the field to go under 33. This is so tight. Ross | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Murdoch has taken the lead. I don't think the record will go. Murdoch, | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
Jamieson and Willis. Murdoch might be touching out at Silver. | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
Ross Murdoch looking brilliant. The 20-year-old from Stirling | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
University. He is coming away! Look at that will stop the world record | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
line. Taking the gold medal for Scotland. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
-- look at that! An utterly brilliant swim. Can you | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
believe it? Gold to Scotland, but not the person we thought. A gold | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
medal to Ross Murdoch, silver to Michael Jamieson. That at that, he | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
is realising what he has done. Look at the time. A new British record. | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
Scottish champion this year in the 50m and 100m breast stroke. Now, the | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
Commonwealth champion and the Commonwealth record holder in the | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
200m breast stroke. Who would have thought it? Ross Murdoch, the gold | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
medal going to Scotland. And Michael Jamieson. | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
David, you were lucky to be there. That final race of the night capped | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
off what a brilliant night that was. You could just see Ross on his face | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
at the end, shock, the surprise. A guy who had been preparing for that | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
race but not preparing win. He was a name hardly anyone thought | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
would win. When was he spotted by the squad? A perfect example of | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
someone brought through the Scottish swimming ranks. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
A promising age-group swimmer, selected for the junior squad. He | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
went to Stirling University. He is still a student. He did not appear | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
in London 2012. The first time he has done this. To come along and win | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
is remarkable. He did it in a very good time. | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
You can see the red line he is chasing, the world record time, he | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
is fractions behind. The second quickest of all time in that event. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
A truly world-class swim. He has a great future ahead judging from | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
this. His first international competition | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
on this scale. In two years, the Rio Olympics is in | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
his sights. The remarkable thing is, if you see the red line he is | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
chasing, this is not his best event. His best event comes today. | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
He will be in the heats this morning. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
He beat Michael Jamieson who ended up with a silver medal. If you could | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
see it on Ross Murdoch's face, it was clearly difficult for Jamieson. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
Ross was not preparing to win, Michael was. He had set his heart on | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
this, this is where he grew up. The homeboy story. In the build-up to | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
the Games, you saw posters of him everywhere. The incredible thing is | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
he has inspired so many people. But not to get the fairy tale ending is | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
heartbreaking. You can see the emotion, I am getting emotional now. | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Knowing the journey he has been on. It is heartbreaking to see. He is a | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
resilient guy. Disappointed after London 2012, winning a silver medal. | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
Even more disappointed here. He was there on the podium. | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
Incredibly emotional for all supporters of Team Scotland and | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
everyone watching that gold medal being awarded. Here is the ceremony. | :10:40. | :10:49. | |
SCOTTISH VICTORY ANTHEM PLAYS: "Flower of Scotland" | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
To hear the music bring out in the Tollcross Swimming Centre must have | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
been incredible. You can hear the crowd in the background singing | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
along. Those moments are the epitome of everything. Those moments, you | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
remember, your family and friends, the sacrifices they have made. That | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
is why the emotion comes out. It is not just a piece of metal, a moment | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
on the podium, it represents so much. A lifetime of work, and wish, | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
excitement to get to that moment. They will be back in competition | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
later today. That wasn't the only Scottish gold medal. Here is the | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
women's 400m individual medley. COMMENTATOR: About half a second | :11:47. | :12:00. | |
lead for I Aimee Willmott. They have two legs left. I have got to tell | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
you, Hannah Miley is coming back again, with the white hat, coming | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
back very fast. Did Willmott go out too quickly? | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
The crowd will lift Hannah Miley to a gold medal. She is digging in. | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
Both are brilliant 400m swimmers. Miley looks like she has taken the | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
lead, the crowd is going nuts. Willmott is looking the right way. | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
It looks like Miley has got it. This is very tough, the atmosphere | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
is extraordinary. The Scottish team are on their feet, and the crowd. No | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
Scottish person has ever won a medal in the swimming pool, in Scotland, | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
and this is a brilliant swim. You can see the British record. She has | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
got the gold medal! Hannah Miley, for Scotland. What a start for the | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Commonwealth Games here in Glasgow. A brilliant swim from Hannah Miley. | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
Silver to Aimee Willmott. The bronze medal has gone to Australia. But the | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
crowd is on its feet, saluting double champion, well done, Hannah | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
Miley. It is the result everyone has been | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
wanting. The first race at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. A | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
gold medal goes to Hannah Miley of Scotland. Absolutely brilliant. | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
A new Commonwealth Games record. And the crowd is standing to salute a | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
Scottish heroine. So, David, a fantastic start to the | :13:54. | :14:35. | |
games. We will be speaking about the judo later on this morning. What a | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
way to start the games? Absolutely. The show stopper right | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
at the beginning we were looking for. Team Scotland were very brave. | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
They manipulated the schedule is to make sure we had some good | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
opportunities to win medals from the start, and it paid off. You can see | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
the media today. It is so inspiring. Inspiring for the athletes to see | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
early medals like that. The whole team will be on a high | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
because of that. Back in Melbourne, the first day, when we won two gold | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
medals, the whole team was lifted. A feeling of we can do this. You can | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
see that in the swimming pool, in the whole team but across the | :15:24. | :15:24. | |
nation. It is inspiring. courtesy of Hannah Miley. She really | :15:25. | :15:46. | |
had a reason to smile. Absolutely. One word that describes | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
her as resilient. In 2012 she came fifth having been absolutely | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
expected to win a medal. So disappointed, she had to make | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
changes to her practices, and one last night. | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
Incredible to watch, it was only in those last couple of lengths that | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
she took it away. Absolutely. And to know that your | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
parents may well be ahead of you, but it is OK, it was calm and | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
relaxed, putting all the right effort in. I was in the crowd | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
shouting and screaming at her, it is why I am a bit hoarse today. It was | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
truly amazing and they use the word inspiration. The feeling of | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
excitement that the swim generator, right from the start, was amazing. | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
-- generated. A very tight turnaround this morning | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
for people like Michael Jamieson and Ross Murdoch. They will be back in | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
the pool. This is the timetable today: | :17:11. | :17:30. | |
Out of this line-up, Michael Jamieson and Ross Murdoch back in | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
the pool today, have you any predictions? | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
It is so difficult to predict. Both will be hugely full of emotion. | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
Michael want have -- Ross will not have got back to the village until | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
very late last night because of all the duties, the doping, and... So it | :18:02. | :18:11. | |
is not a choice? And he will be buzzing. | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
It is the biggest moment of his entire life. And he has then go to | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
sleep, eat, get up this morning, and compete again this morning. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
And you say he now has a better event? | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
His main event! We could see him on the podium again. There is a truly | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
world-class field in the swimming pool. World record holders, the | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
world number one, Adam Beattie of England, ranked number two in the | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
world, she was using the 200 metres as a warm up! | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
It gives you a sense of the strength of the field. We will talk to you | :19:05. | :19:13. | |
again as the competition continues. A fantastic start at the Tollcross | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
International Swimming Centre. And equal excitement expected when the | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
Bradley Wiggins took part in his only event of the Games, but it did | :19:21. | :19:30. | |
not quite go to script. The return to track racing Bradley | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
Wiggins. But England have got their hands full with this Australia | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
team. They really are under pressure. | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
It is going to form. Australia leading the way. Down to three, they | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
really were putting the hammer down, and have put themselves under | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
pressure. Will the numerical disadvantage make a difference? No, | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
the lead has gone up! England really are on the ropes. | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
A sensational time, England have two settle for silver. | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
And a sprint towards the line, desperately close! Just taken by | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
England. This is a decisive race for gold. | :20:30. | :20:42. | |
But England are just had too much speed for them! A tremendous final. | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
This is not a knockout race. Stephanie Morton with the fastest | :20:52. | :21:01. | |
time. Just two riders to come, including one of the great names in | :21:02. | :21:11. | |
track cycling, Anna Mears. She is absolutely flying on that first lap. | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
Victoria Williamson back in six place after that first lap. And it | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
is a Commonwealth Games record! Gold for Australia. | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
The final race at the end of an exciting opening day. The world | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
champions in black, England in red and white. There is less than a 10th | :21:39. | :21:50. | |
of a second in it! The world champions are under pressure. | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
England just under three tenths of a second down. Dawkins leading the way | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
for world champions New Zealand. Into the finishing straight... Gold | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
for New Zealand! The Commonwealth Games record has gone. Called to the | :22:13. | :22:31. | |
world champions. -- gold. Rob, you won gold in the 2006 | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
Commonwealth Games, what a great disappointment for Bradley Wiggins. | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
I think so. Having been disappointed not making the selection for the | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
Tour de France, then putting everything into this, the result | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
will be disappointing, but this is only has a starting point for Rio. | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
He sounded optimistic afterwards about his chances for Rio. Is he | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
overplaying it? I don't think so. What the bride has | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
set his sights on, he generally obtains. -- whatever Brad. She has | :23:18. | :23:39. | |
an incredible palmares. I was surprised he did not do the time | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
trial. But he has put everything into this event, and I think it was | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
more about the processor than the actual outcome and result. Just a | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
first step for the next two M years towards Rio. | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
He was clear that he sees his future on the track rather than the road | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
and was dismissive about the sphere surrounding road cycling. You share | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
that, having done some road racing in your time. | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
What he likes to do is throw the odd grenade and then run away giggling. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
But that was an interesting interview he did last night after | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
the track. I think he is quite hurt after what happened last year on the | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
road, his non-selection. But I don't think it is the end of his road | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
career. And he needs the rest of that career to September for the | :24:37. | :24:51. | |
team pursuit in Rio. -- to prepare. So they can go together? | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
The road can give you back up for the track. | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
The Australians were clearly superior in the end. Was it just a | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
good night? It seemed to go to plan for them | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
really. In qualification they were able to ride within themselves. | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
Whereas the English boys had to go out on full gas because there were | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
still two teams to follow them so they had no way of controlling their | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
right. But when it got down to half distance, the Australians went down | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
to three, then the third ride also began to drop off, but they held | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
together extremely well. Where does that put them looking | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
ahead to Rio? Are they favoured? They will certainly be a major | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
factor in the gold medal. But actually have -- we have seen | :25:58. | :26:08. | |
cycles, with teams dipping off then coming back up for the Olympics. You | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
cannot keep that momentum going in between. It is just a shame that we | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
have seen that at the Commonwealth Games. | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
All eyes on the velodrome today. Games. | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
Another English star of the Olympics, Jason Kenny. | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
It is Jason Kenny, what a ride! You need a lot of power, you need to | :26:40. | :26:52. | |
be very smooth. And speed and tactics? The best | :26:53. | :27:05. | |
tactic is speed! I just want to win. Great Britain are Olympic team | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
champions! And what a future this young lad has ahead of him. | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
It feels like quite a long time ago. I was 20 in Beijing. Now I am | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
26. I have been cycling seriously since the age of 14. This was my | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
main goal, because I would be 24 in time for London, at my optimum. | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
He wins the gold medal, and in style! | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
What was London like you? How did life change? | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
It was mental for a couple of weeks afterwards. But a few months down | :27:53. | :28:00. | |
the line you slip back into normal life and training. I wanted to go | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
well at the World Championships and they managed a gold medal. | :28:07. | :28:15. | |
What a ride when it really mattered! So it was nice to back up that | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
performance. I always look forward to the next event and do not spend | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
long patting myself on the back. Chris Hawley -- Hoy bowed out, how | :28:26. | :28:49. | |
have you taken the mantle? It has not got any easier. You | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
always fight to win as many medals as possible. I have no Commonwealth | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
medals yet, it would be nice to win, but it will not be easy, there is | :29:02. | :29:07. | |
Australia, New Zealand are current world champions, so it will be a | :29:08. | :29:08. | |
battle. world champions, | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
And the timetable for this morning: And another busy day at the | :29:13. | :29:44. | |
velodrome. Jason Kenny did not have an easy time getting into the | :29:45. | :29:51. | |
quarterfinal. He did not. On top of the team sprint he also had | :29:52. | :29:54. | |
qualification in the afternoon for the 200-metre sprint. Qualified in | :29:55. | :30:01. | |
you live and place out of 12 qualifiers, the skin of his teeth. | :30:02. | :30:08. | |
-- 11th. To be that far down was concerning. He is now up against | :30:09. | :30:16. | |
Glazier, who qualified fastest. So it affects your position? | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
As you go through the rounds, the fastest qualifiers always face the | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
slowest qualifiers. So that makes his job harder? | :30:29. | :30:39. | |
A lot harder. A stunning performance, a record in | :30:40. | :30:46. | |
qualification. We have seen at least one Commonwealth record go in every | :30:47. | :30:52. | |
single time event. In sum, two or three have gone in the rounds. It | :30:53. | :30:58. | |
won't make Jason's job any easier. He has three different races, the | :30:59. | :31:05. | |
best of three. For the women we will see Joanna | :31:06. | :31:13. | |
Rowsell, the current world champion. In the individual pursuit. Backed up | :31:14. | :31:22. | |
by Laura Trott and Danny King. Laura Trott is obviously world champion, | :31:23. | :31:26. | |
multi-Olympic champion. Lots to look forward to in that event. | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
This is the three of them racing together back in London, two years | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
ago. That brings back the memories, the | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
atmosphere in the velodrome here is on a par with London, it really is | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
an incredible place to be. And the crowd, it doesn't matter what colour | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
jersey crosses the line first, the crowd have been fantastic. | :31:49. | :31:55. | |
A good velodrome, a good atmosphere. Everything is good. How have these | :31:56. | :31:59. | |
three fared since London, what can we expect? | :32:00. | :32:07. | |
These girls all seem, they had a bit of a dip, like most of the athletes | :32:08. | :32:13. | |
after the Olympics. Generally, they have kept it on a level. They are | :32:14. | :32:22. | |
young girls, they love riding their bikes. They haven't quite got into | :32:23. | :32:32. | |
that, it is AJ Lee dog -- a daily job routine. | :32:33. | :32:40. | |
Thank you. The cycling is all on BBC Three this morning. | :32:41. | :32:43. | |
Before you go, Rob, just wanted to show you this. | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
We all know what great cyclists Scotland produces, | :32:47. | :32:47. | |
I love Glasgow for the character of it. I am looking at the place like a | :32:48. | :33:15. | |
giant playground. I am always looking for some sort of perfection | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
in writing. I am not competitive with other people, but I feel | :33:21. | :33:28. | |
competitive with myself. It doesn't matter if it is 15 feet or 200 feet. | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
It is important to me to feel I have done my very best and to make it | :33:34. | :33:35. | |
look as easy as possible. You want to live in a city which | :33:36. | :33:46. | |
allows you to be creative. Incredible, Danny McAskill. Some of | :33:47. | :34:06. | |
that, I am sure you will have spotted, the crane behind our | :34:07. | :34:09. | |
studios. You want to inspire people but that | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
is the very extreme. Danny is an incredible brighter, I | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
met him just as he was launching his first video. Talking to Chris Hoy | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
yesterday, he said he wanted to ride across the roof of the velodrome on | :34:25. | :34:30. | |
the side. It is only a few feet wide, but very high, but they would | :34:31. | :34:33. | |
not allow him. I can see why they would not allow | :34:34. | :34:38. | |
him! There are plenty of pretty scary places they have allowed him. | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
You have two race off now. -- I know you've got to dash across | :34:42. | :34:48. | |
the city to the velodrome now. At least you should see plenty | :34:49. | :34:52. | |
of smiles on your way. Here's a little reminder | :34:53. | :36:02. | |
of what's happening at the moment. You can see Wales in action | :36:03. | :36:02. | |
against India in And on the Red Button, Wales are | :36:03. | :36:04. | |
taking on Canada in the badminton. And don't forget to then press | :36:05. | :36:10. | |
your blue menu button And if you want to see even more you | :36:11. | :36:12. | |
can head to the website, where every individual sport will be | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
streamed live. There's currently some badminton, | :36:18. | :36:19. | |
table tennis and netball on there, Time to catch up with | :36:20. | :36:22. | |
Ollie Williams. Ollie is keeping a close eye | :36:23. | :36:30. | |
on social media as he dashes Not content with that, she actually | :36:31. | :37:11. | |
sent a message on Twitter to say it tops the famous one at the Oscars | :37:12. | :37:22. | |
party with Ellen de Generes. That has gone around the world. The Queen | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
is a serial offender in this. If you look at this photo, you will find | :37:28. | :37:34. | |
the Queen in the background, not smiling quite so broadly. Plenty of | :37:35. | :37:40. | |
people had the Queen in the background of their shots. | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
This photo was taken by Anna Meares, dining with the Queen at the | :37:45. | :37:51. | |
time, in this next photo. She took a photo of her pudding instead! She | :37:52. | :37:57. | |
wasn't allowed to eat it. She still has to compete, so she had to turn | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
down pudding in front of the Queen. I have heard some of the staunchest | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
food on offer in the Athletes' Village is also some of the most | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
popular. Not everyone is as disciplined. Probably not too bad. | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
What are you doing with your 71 club? | :38:18. | :38:22. | |
It is currently six strong. I will tell you about the ten I am going to | :38:23. | :38:26. | |
add to that. First of all, we have a challenge | :38:27. | :38:30. | |
for anyone at the games back row to come up with a Commonwelfie -- at | :38:31. | :38:37. | |
the Games. We have Scott Phillips out on | :38:38. | :38:43. | |
Glasgow green a hive of activity during the opening ceremony. 10,000 | :38:44. | :38:48. | |
people packed there. Ian Harris braved the intense | :38:49. | :38:55. | |
sunshine and took a Commonwelfie from there. | :38:56. | :39:05. | |
And Rebecca Morton in this last one, with mascot Clyde, on the River | :39:06. | :39:16. | |
Clyde. Please keep those coming in. If you are trying to teach your kids | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
how to spell the word Commonwealth, don't go down route! | :39:22. | :39:30. | |
And more about the athletes involved in the action. | :39:31. | :39:42. | |
Dale Bennett paid tribute to Ross Murdoch. | :39:43. | :39:53. | |
His tweet in capital letters said,, well champion! I think he is | :39:54. | :39:56. | |
recovering from his podium experience. | :39:57. | :40:04. | |
-- Commonwealth champion. Tell me about the mission? | :40:05. | :40:14. | |
Trying to find an athlete to interview. The premise is simple, | :40:15. | :40:19. | |
the execution may be difficult. An athlete to interview from all | :40:20. | :40:26. | |
competing nations. I missed out on a triathlete from Bermuda. Today, | :40:27. | :40:33. | |
there are ten coming up. The first of which will be at the | :40:34. | :40:42. | |
weightlifting this morning. Those Australian weightlifters have | :40:43. | :40:43. | |
Cambodian heritage, I want to find out more about them. | :40:44. | :40:55. | |
And the Loy family from Papua New Guinea, five of them, all in the | :40:56. | :41:02. | |
same table tennis team, including one of them who is the coach. | :41:03. | :41:06. | |
You will have to race around the venues. | :41:07. | :41:12. | |
The six you got yesterday? The Falkland islands, Mike Brownlee, | :41:13. | :41:22. | |
badminton they are. To track cyclists from Ghana and Malaysia. -- | :41:23. | :41:25. | |
two. Ollie will be back here for Tonight | :41:26. | :41:31. | |
at the Games every evening, hosted by Clare Balding and Mark Chapman, | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
here on BBC One at 10.40pm. As well as the best | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
of the day's action, they'll also have a live band in front of a | :41:38. | :41:40. | |
studio audience and special guests. as planned. Oh! | :41:41. | :42:58. | |
She has done it. Renicks, and her opponent goes over. A standing | :42:59. | :43:01. | |
ovation from the crowd, their first gold medal for Scotland. | :43:02. | :43:08. | |
He -- she took her apart, piece by piece, fantastic. | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
Textbook from Renicks. Her tactics were superb. That was the way to do | :43:15. | :43:20. | |
it. Closing her down. She put her under pressure. | :43:21. | :43:33. | |
Tactically, her opponent was miles away. | :43:34. | :43:38. | |
That turned it on its head. Oh, this will be interesting. | :43:39. | :43:49. | |
She could get it on that. The referee is looking. | :43:50. | :43:59. | |
Kelly Edwards who turned, didn't get a full rotation. She really could | :44:00. | :44:05. | |
get it. If the referee is going to be consistent up to now, then Stott | :44:06. | :44:14. | |
we have seen differently all day. So, she does get it. Renicks gets | :44:15. | :44:22. | |
the gold, a second gold medal for the siblings. For me, they should | :44:23. | :44:26. | |
not have given one of the penalties earlier on. | :44:27. | :44:29. | |
No, it is never a nice way to win. it is what it is, a metal around the | :44:30. | :44:47. | |
neck. What a start and I'm delighted to | :44:48. | :44:57. | |
say that both sisters are with me this morning. What an incredible day | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
it was, you provided Scotland with the best possible start, Kimberly! | :45:03. | :45:14. | |
It was so moved writing. -- nerve wracking. I am ecstatic, let's hope | :45:15. | :45:22. | |
we can keep it going. And Louise, you then did the same | :45:23. | :45:30. | |
within an hour. We did not get to see each other for | :45:31. | :45:33. | |
hours after that, Kimberly wasn't doping control. -- was in. | :45:34. | :45:42. | |
So you did not even get to congratulate each other? | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
We did not. But when we got back to the village at 1:30am I was dancing | :45:49. | :45:56. | |
in the room! Did you watch any of her fight? | :45:57. | :46:04. | |
In a small room on the TV. I could hear the crowd going mental. But I | :46:05. | :46:09. | |
had to wait until I could finish what I was doing. We gave each other | :46:10. | :46:23. | |
a couple. -- cuddle. It was good. How did you get into it? | :46:24. | :46:30. | |
It was a family thing. My dad likes to do things for the community and | :46:31. | :46:34. | |
he wanted to get us into fit is an self defence. -- fitness and. | :46:35. | :46:43. | |
Everything in the environment we do together. Training, weights, travel, | :46:44. | :46:53. | |
I would not want it any other way. It makes these moments special. | :46:54. | :47:00. | |
Let's show everybody again. First of all, your fight, Kimberly. How tough | :47:01. | :47:10. | |
was the competition? The Indian was very strong and had | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
one big throw she had been catching people with all day. | :47:14. | :47:20. | |
You had watched how she fought earlier in the day? | :47:21. | :47:27. | |
Yes. You must focus on your own fight but keep an eye on who you | :47:28. | :47:34. | |
might come up against. I didn't even know how to celebrate. I was just so | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
happy! And Louise, you were up against... ? | :47:40. | :47:49. | |
Kelli Edwards of England. It was quite a tactical fight. I'm somebody | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
tries to attack all the time and get myself into difficult situations. So | :47:55. | :48:00. | |
I knew this would be tactical and made sure I stayed really strong. It | :48:01. | :48:06. | |
went to penalties. So the home or can you put in, | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
judging who you might fight against, that is really important? -- | :48:11. | :48:18. | |
homework. Yes, and it really paid off on the | :48:19. | :48:24. | |
day. First on the podium, getting your | :48:25. | :48:30. | |
medal, in front of a home crowd. The crowd were amazing. Behind you | :48:31. | :48:37. | |
all day. Even when you saw another Scottish person going out, whilst | :48:38. | :48:41. | |
you were in the back warming up, your stomach would start churning. | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
You think, they are behind me, I can do this. | :48:48. | :48:53. | |
We had family, close friends, the governing body, every judo club in | :48:54. | :49:05. | |
Scotland it seemed! We play rugby, recreationally, and they were all | :49:06. | :49:14. | |
there with T-shirts. I was jumping around, screaming, I wish it had | :49:15. | :49:20. | |
been on video. It probably is, somewhere! Do you | :49:21. | :49:32. | |
now both have your sights on the Rio games? | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
Yes, we will plan our competitions for the next two years. That is the | :49:39. | :49:47. | |
next goal. What has been part of the common | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
rock games taught you? -- Commonwealth. | :49:55. | :49:59. | |
To make sure you are the fittest and healthiest you can be. It is a | :50:00. | :50:06. | |
roller-coaster as an athlete, you are up and down all the time. But | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
the support we have had from Scotland, the openness, telling the | :50:12. | :50:18. | |
truth about how you feel, it has been a massive help. It is about | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
hard work, determination, and the people you have supporting you. | :50:24. | :50:29. | |
I have so much admiration for that determination and focus. You are now | :50:30. | :50:40. | |
free to enjoy the rest of the Games. There are two days of judo | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
competition left, we will go and support the rest of the team who | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
were there for us. Then on Sunday we will go to the rugby finals because | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
we are massive fans. Kimberly has friends in weightlifting. But we | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
want to see all sorts of different sports, how they prepare, just | :50:59. | :51:02. | |
generally getting behind Scotland, shouting for them. People got behind | :51:03. | :51:10. | |
us who were not even part of the judo setup. It is only hitting me | :51:11. | :51:16. | |
now. The emotion, all the support and there that we only know about | :51:17. | :51:22. | |
now. A lady said to me, I was watching on the television with | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
tears in my eyes. I said, what were they saying to make you cry? | :51:28. | :51:37. | |
It was not the media, it was you! So, enjoy the rest of the Games, it | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
has been fantastic to have you with us this morning. | :51:42. | :51:52. | |
Badminton has already begun. Time now to catch up on the mixed team | :51:53. | :51:58. | |
event between Canada and Wales. A reminder of what is at stake. | :51:59. | :52:08. | |
Badminton is a fast-moving racquet sport. It requires agility, | :52:09. | :52:16. | |
dexterity, and stamina, layers can cover to four miles in a standard | :52:17. | :52:24. | |
match. You strike a shuttlecock over the 1.5 metre net. The unusual | :52:25. | :52:35. | |
aerodynamic properties mean that it has a significantly higher top | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
speed, 200 miles per hour. And a quicker deceleration than in other | :52:41. | :52:47. | |
racquet sports. The game is decided when a player reaches 21 points, by | :52:48. | :52:54. | |
a margin of at least two. Matches are the best-of-3. Six cool medals | :52:55. | :53:00. | |
are for grabs in the men's, singles, and doubles competitions. As well as | :53:01. | :53:10. | |
a combined mixed team event. We will concentrate on group D in | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
the mixed team event. Eight of field in which only the top team is | :53:16. | :53:19. | |
guaranteed to qualify, along with the two best runners up from the six | :53:20. | :53:25. | |
groups. A loss for Wales yesterday means they really must beat Canada | :53:26. | :53:31. | |
to have a chance of progressing. Each time is made up of five | :53:32. | :53:40. | |
matches. This game was the best-of-3 sets, the Welsh had lost the first, | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
and we join it at the start of the second. | :53:46. | :54:11. | |
That is much better. Sailor Thomas is all over the place. -- Sarah. It | :54:12. | :54:27. | |
is a tall order, they want to ask. But look at this, she is getting in | :54:28. | :54:32. | |
front of Oliver. But as a trouble area. -- that is. | :54:33. | :54:55. | |
A good flick serve. A shot she should not miss. Do the Welsh have a | :54:56. | :55:03. | |
chance to damage this Canadian pair? | :55:04. | :55:09. | |
More competitive start to the scheme than the first, which was essential | :55:10. | :55:15. | |
from a Welsh perspective. -- to this game. | :55:16. | :55:25. | |
Good play. A very soft block into an open space, just directing it, | :55:26. | :55:34. | |
beautifully played. The vital third shot, well played by Alex Bruce. | :55:35. | :55:38. | |
Serving really well. But as you said, a much better start | :55:39. | :55:51. | |
to this second game. He is getting more into it now. The | :55:52. | :56:35. | |
curse of the commentator! Yes! That is good play by Thomas. She | :56:36. | :56:56. | |
really tried to move Bruce, it was good, play it clear, play the drop | :56:57. | :57:03. | |
shot, and then down, very nice, good play. | :57:04. | :57:14. | |
By far the best rally of the match by far. By far. What they rally it | :57:15. | :57:26. | |
turned out to be. That will definitely boost the confidence. | :57:27. | :57:36. | |
Too long playing with the drift, the Welsh, in this second game. A slight | :57:37. | :57:45. | |
draught in the arena. That is neat. We have seen some | :57:46. | :57:59. | |
lovely angle shots from the Canadians. He has a great touch, no | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
doubt about that. Sorry! I can understand why she said | :58:05. | :58:38. | |
sorry! She blocked it at the net but Bruce had already seen it. And that | :58:39. | :58:41. | |
there was no angle to it, nothing. edge ahead. But a far better contest | :58:42. | :59:14. | |
than the first game. 11-7 to the Canadians at the interval. This was | :59:15. | :59:19. | |
the long, extended rally. Nice touch. That was missing at the start | :59:20. | :59:24. | |
of the match. Good play. He is playing so well at | :59:25. | :00:00. | |
the net, isn't he? He really has that touch. That was good. Aiming | :00:01. | :00:08. | |
for that spot, and anticipated so well. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
That is out. Good fighting. Well played, I really think that was good | :00:14. | :00:24. | |
play. But very well covered by Thomas. Be shot was a little behind | :00:25. | :00:40. | |
him, it is so difficult then. -- the shuttlecock. | :00:41. | :01:24. | |
Terrific, sustained attack. A little bit of variety. Then the power. | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
Taking the pace away from that shot is not easy. | :01:33. | :01:54. | |
Good play from the Canadians. A good attack. Impossible to get out of it. | :01:55. | :02:13. | |
The third shot from Alex Bruce was really good, she served it really | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
nicely. Bruce played it to the net. She knew where it was going. But he | :02:18. | :02:38. | |
couldn't react in time. I must say, I have been very | :02:39. | :02:58. | |
impressed with Toby Ng in this match. His positional play. He knows | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
exactly where to cover. A very convincing victory for the | :03:03. | :03:58. | |
Canadians. In the first part of that second game, it became pretty | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
competitive. They steadily pulled away. And they should just why they | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
are seeded in the individual mixed doubles event. | :04:07. | :04:18. | |
That continues now live on the Red Button. | :04:19. | :04:32. | |
We promised you some judo. We will have that for you. Here is your | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
guide. Judo was first held at | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
the Commonwealth Games in 1990. This is only the second occasion since | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
then it has been staged. The aim is to throw your opponent to the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
ground, hold them down, or gain submission. The contest lasts five | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
minutes, with points awarded for different throws and holds. The | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
ultimate aim is to execute the which achieves the maximum score | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
and guarantees victory. This can be achieved by throwing your opponent | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
flat on their back, holding them down, and gaining submission with an | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
armlock or stranglehold. If the scores are tied, the contest enters | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
a golden score period, the first Let's go over to the SECC | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
for the first bout of the morning. Ore Oduba will be watching this | :05:22. | :05:37. | |
session for us, and a lot First, good morning to you. It is | :05:38. | :05:54. | |
the only appropriate way to greet you here at the SECC. This is the | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
hot ticket. We have a couple of fights going on. British interest | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
will come very shortly. What a night last night, five gold medals up for | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
grabs and all of them went to the home nations, three for England. And | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
the two sisters, the privilege of getting the first gold medal for the | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
home nation. A fantastic achievement. Scotland only got one | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
gold medal in the last time judo was held in England. A fantastic | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
achievement for them. There are four gold medals up for | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
grabs now. I am pretty sure home nations fans will be hoping for the | :06:46. | :06:56. | |
best. A packed 73 kilograms category for the men. We will be expecting | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
one or two if not three of the medals on the podium. | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
I will greet you properly as well. We had the Renicks sisters here. And | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
talking about this fantastic atmosphere. It is incredible. What | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
is really nice is to see they may be individual nations and territories, | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
they are British competitors together. | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
They had a terrible time in London. It came down to Gemma Gibbons | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
delivering a silver medal. Together, the nations are enjoying each | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
other's medals. A tight team. I am sure they will be enjoying success. | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
All the gold medals for the home nations yesterday. They will be | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
expecting the same today. Six, six home nations interests -- | :08:07. | :08:23. | |
interest. First it comes to Jan Gosiewski and Caoimhin Thompson. | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
But first, Danny Williams against Connor Ireland. Let us go over to | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
our commentators. Unbelievable. With ten seconds left | :08:38. | :08:56. | |
to go. He did exactly what you said he should not do, which is to commit | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
an error. It is not going to happen now. | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
Looking at the video, saying he landed on his side and not his back. | :09:10. | :09:21. | |
A waza ari is a near ippon. He had to roll onto his back almost | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
completely. Now, Danny Williams going for the strangle. Can he get | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
it? If that jacket is underneath. We can see it wasn't quite underneath | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
the neck. It has to go around the throat. It sounds gruesome. Once it | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
goes on, they tap to submit. Danny Williams, very good. But | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
Connor Ireland is not giving up, representing Wales at the, what | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
games. He is going to show everything he has got. | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
He put on a fantastic show at the UK schools games, always a tense | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
fighter, wanting to get further on come to showcase what he knows. He | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
is a hard trainer. He is young. Is he training at the Institute of | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
sport in Wales? They are producing some good fighters. A lot of these | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
institutes have full-time systems. Now, somebody is going to go. Oh, | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
Danny Williams tried it there. He likes his counters. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Always a big chance with that throw, if you are not twisted enough, it | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
depends on the referee's interpretation. He will have to look | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
at the video to see who initiated it and if he turned enough. | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
If they land together, there is no school given. | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
-- score. A good decision. They have to stay within the yellow | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
area. That was almost four Danny Williams, | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
are they going to give it? He has given a yuko. | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
He has given it the other way, I do not get that? I am surprised that | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
has not been given to the video referee. | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
The referee has scrapped the actual score. | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
People might think you know what you are talking about! Maybe! | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
I love how Ireland is not backing down from the experience. And with | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
all of that ink, quite intimidating! | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
He is really committing with that. He has not quite got the line, we | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
are talking about lines of attack. Not quite the right angle to finish | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
it off. It is a spectacular counter by Danny Williams, when it works. | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
Credit to Ireland, he is doing well. I think Williams wants to make his | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
mark. Looking for a big throw to start the | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
tournament. Maybe that is his way of getting into the game, a big throw, | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
to show the youngsters don't bother. Ireland is left-handed which is why | :12:43. | :12:54. | |
he keeps getting caught. Danny Williams is going around the waist | :12:55. | :12:55. | |
with that hand. He had to watch that belt -- belt | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
grip. We haven't seen penalties so far. I | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
will explain a little more as we go through. They will come up on your | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
board as a yellow flag. More four penalties and it is this | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
qualification. In some of the contexts, we may see a lot. Islands | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
is going in for the shime waza. It is across the face, Williams is | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
saying. You have to be careful and showed the referee because sometimes | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
it looks like a submission, I have seen that before. | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
Counter-productive, that. It can work against you. What we mean by | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
tapping is when you go for a submission, pressure against the | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
elbow or a struggle against the neck, when you tap, that means you | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
submit and give the ippon to the other player. | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
There is another school. Another score to Daniel -- Danny Williams. | :14:04. | :14:18. | |
Five minute contest. If there was no is score at the end -- there is no | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
score, then it goes into the golden score when any will win. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
That is going to be a penalty for Ireland. He will get a shido for | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
stepping out, he should do. The referee hasn't given it. | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
Williams is resorting to tactics and not just the big throw. One minute | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
left on the clock. He has got to play it safe. And keep back at the | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
Tattoo yuko lead. You can see quite clearly the right | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
against left situation. Right-handed Ireland, right-handed Danny | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Williams. Sometimes, it is very difficult to catch the sleeves. | :15:07. | :15:24. | |
grip up and be positive with our grips. That is why the baggy jackets | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
are not for show, it is a weapon. It is our equipment. That is nice. | :15:34. | :15:45. | |
Almost taken by Williams. I have done some work with Danny and | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
sometimes he is not as tight as he should be with that. He has to go up | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
onto the arm now. Now he starts, three seconds to go, it will make no | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
difference, he will win the match, Williams for England goes through to | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
the quarterfinal stage. Good first match for Williams, good | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
warm up, get him into the Games, get his head together, get him sorted. | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
He will go back and re-evaluate what went right and wrong, and look at | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
his next competitor, see how he can improve on that performance. | :16:25. | :16:39. | |
Credit to Connor who came out ready to fight, and that is exactly what | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
he did. Yes, I think Danny Williams was | :16:45. | :16:56. | |
thinking, just a junior, no problem. Did not quite get the control on the | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
upper part of the body. Just hooks the inside of the lake and takes it | :17:04. | :17:19. | |
backwards for a second yuko. -- inside of the leg. | :17:20. | :17:30. | |
Danny Williams goes through. Called in at the last minute for Benjamin | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
Fletcher. Danny, can we... ? He has gone away unfortunately. Benjamin | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
Fletcher had to pull out with a knee injury, Danny must be absolutely | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
exhausted, he will be happy but tired as he makes his way into the | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
round of 16. We have just seen him go through but in the under 73 | :18:00. | :18:19. | |
category we had Thompson Thompson against Gosiewski, let's see how | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
they got on. There are the fighters. There is a | :18:24. | :18:47. | |
law of expectation for Gosiewski, he is a quality fighter, but not | :18:48. | :18:56. | |
seeded. There are a few higher placed fighters than him on the | :18:57. | :19:07. | |
list. In the white, Gosiewski, Thompson in blue. First round, and | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
73 kilograms category. Chance for an armlock, quickly onto it. Problems | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
for Thompson. He just spun out. Just in the wrong position. A little | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
taste. He looks sharp, a good sign early in the contest. And now | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
Thompson works on Gosiewski's arm. He has some fantastic new assets, | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Gosiewski, some very smart transitions. I wonder who taught him | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
that! Just trying to settle on a grip now. You really must have both | :20:02. | :20:16. | |
hands on. Does not come off. You will not be surprised to hear that | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
Gosiewski is of Polish extraction. So is the referee. And back onto the | :20:23. | :20:33. | |
arm. Taking nice control of the lapel. He will take his time to try | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
to turn them over. Again they has slipped it, need work, the way to do | :20:40. | :20:48. | |
it. Circle that leg around and then lose contact. Twice now Gosiewski | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
has had the opportunity to work on the arm, on both occasions Thompson | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
has been able to get out of it. A nice contest, flowing well with lots | :21:04. | :21:04. | |
of action. Again, it does not come off. The | :21:05. | :21:23. | |
nice thing about this is that Gosiewski is perfectly happy on the | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
ground, he does not mind giving up a position on the ground, whereas | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
other fighters would dislike it. He thrives on it. Perfectly happy. Even | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
if it is not the best initial position, he can work something from | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
it. Yes, although that leg was a little bit high, a little bit much | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
for me, wasting effort and energy. Conservative effort and energy, he | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
is ahead on penalties. Just under three minutes to go. Almost a slip, | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
he was just off balance. He was going the wrong way. This is the | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
speciality technique of Gosiewski, his legs are locked in and he's | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
going for the turn. Once they are locked in, and they are strong, | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
there is no getting out of there. You have to remember... Is that a | :22:23. | :22:34. | |
tap out? Yes. Too tight. Fantastic. We spoke about Gosiewski's prowess | :22:35. | :22:43. | |
on the ground, and that is how he troubled him. He did it beautifully | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
in the end. A good start for Gosiewski England. Leaves Thompson | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
unfortunately to draw one of the better fighters in the category. But | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
it is Gosiewski we will see in the second round. Taking control. He | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
takes his time. Legs in, automatically, he would have | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
practised that position thousands of times. Very strong. Now that | :23:19. | :23:39. | |
strangle will be going on. Bold, and the strangle was going on. | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
You see it, and she thinks, no good, I have to tap out. Let's take a look | :23:47. | :23:58. | |
at Patrick Dawson of Scotland, facing joseph Hell Bapou off-camber | :23:59. | :24:18. | |
room. -- of Cameroon. If Scotland even have half as good a day is | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
yesterday, it would be a success. Dawson in white, Hell Bapou in | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
blue. think sometimes in the first fight, | :24:34. | :25:01. | |
the nerves are there and sometimes the grips are a little bit weak. You | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
need to settle your nerves, take your time, set the technique up. | :25:09. | :25:26. | |
Dawson was a little bit rushed. He is settling in, now. He missed a | :25:27. | :25:42. | |
trick. If you win a penalty, you don't want to give one top ten | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
seconds later to your opponent. -- have one given against you. | :25:48. | :26:18. | |
Less penalties for stepping outside the area so far. I know it is only | :26:19. | :26:27. | |
the second of third fight, but yesterday we had a whole list of | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
them. The fighters just paying a little bit more attention. That did | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
not come off once more. Would be nice to try and set him up | :26:39. | :27:19. | |
with a feint if he can. He is going to slip that leg. | :27:20. | :27:28. | |
For me, that is too quick. Much too quick. I don't see the | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
point in calling that, you know he is going to throw his leg across, by | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
that time you call. He has missed that, I am afraid. A nice bit | :27:43. | :27:50. | |
developing, and he called it too quickly. He is uncomfortable. There | :27:51. | :28:01. | |
is something that Hell Bapou is not comfortable with. Just rolling back | :28:02. | :28:10. | |
on his heels. That is why he went down, and he is likely to turn a | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
little bit, or else he would have been out. He seems to be tiring a | :28:17. | :28:29. | |
little bit now. Which is strange. If you look at him, he is in great | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
physical condition. Again, everything to the rare from Dawson. | :28:34. | :28:47. | |
-- rear. A feint to the front, and something to the rear and he will be | :28:48. | :28:56. | |
in great position. And there it is. Just stretched him out. And in that | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
stretching the children started to come up. A little bit of room to get | :29:03. | :29:13. | |
behind in. -- the chin started to come out. Good to get a first win | :29:14. | :29:23. | |
and feel like you had a real fight. That is what you need, you just need | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
to get out there, and feel what it is like on the mat in front of your | :29:27. | :29:35. | |
home crowd. A good start for the Scotsman. Winning his opening | :29:36. | :29:44. | |
contest. We will see him in the next round, facing Gosiewski, he has that | :29:45. | :29:57. | |
to come. We pick up where we left off last | :29:58. | :30:03. | |
night, success for Scotland. We pick up where we left off last | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
night, success The biggest cheer went for Patrick Dawson, who will | :30:10. | :30:17. | |
now face an Englishman in the Battle of Britain, against Gosiewski. And | :30:18. | :30:27. | |
later on, Danny Williams, who we saw earlier on, making his way into the | :30:28. | :30:32. | |
last 16 also. They are in separate halves of the draw. So we could see | :30:33. | :30:38. | |
an all England final, or it could yet another England versus Scotland | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
fight. Either way, the fans are not disappointed. | :30:43. | :30:46. | |
But the rest this morning?s bouts are on the website, | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
along with all the other live sport which is happening right now. | :30:52. | :31:03. | |
It is not long until those first swimming heats of the day. There was | :31:04. | :31:10. | |
a fantastic atmosphere last night at the Tollcross is national swimming | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
centre. Let us head right over there to the venue. Helen Skelton is | :31:16. | :31:24. | |
keeping an eye on the heats this morning. | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
Good morning. My team are just coming down from last night, how was | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
it in here? Two gold medals for Scotland, | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
it in here? Two gold medals for From Hannah Miley winning that first | :31:40. | :31:44. | |
gold medal, it continued to the end with Ross. And a world record from | :31:45. | :31:52. | |
the Australian team. Very emotion, -- very emotional, seeing family | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
crying. Ross Murdoch. He dedicated it to his | :31:57. | :32:02. | |
grandad. He looked so surprised. The crowd were not sure, as much as | :32:03. | :32:08. | |
they loved the performance, they were not sure what to do. It was | :32:09. | :32:15. | |
always about Michael. There was so much pressure on him. Ross's face at | :32:16. | :32:24. | |
the end. 50m to go here. They were side-by-side all the way. I expected | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
that Michael would have a little bit left at the end. | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
Ross was so surprised. The difficult thing for Michael was that Ross did | :32:34. | :32:43. | |
phenomenally well. He had a great day. Michael was | :32:44. | :32:50. | |
aiming for that world record. He has openly said he had set his alarm and | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
every morning he wakes up to that world record, he looks at it. He | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
really wanted to get under that mark. Ross was more shocked that he | :33:00. | :33:11. | |
did that time, not just a case of beating Michael. A big PB for him. | :33:12. | :33:21. | |
He has overnight come from not being known in world swimming, and now, | :33:22. | :33:27. | |
here's a to beat. The best time in the world this year. Ross is the new | :33:28. | :33:37. | |
Michael. Seven home nations swimmers in that final. | :33:38. | :33:43. | |
We will see both of them again later in the 100 metres breaststroke. If | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
you want to see any of the heats from Tollcross, you can go online | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
and see every single race. We have the men's 200m freestyle, heat | :33:55. | :34:05. | |
number three. On the century times, the three | :34:06. | :34:14. | |
fastest heats have the top 24 swimmers. The fastest swimmer is in | :34:15. | :34:29. | |
lane four. It is circle seeded. There are normally only three or | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
four heats. But we will concentrate on the faster heats. | :34:34. | :34:46. | |
All Twitter questions are welcome. This heat, all three medallists from | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
last night are back in action, how difficult will it be for them to | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
recover? Definitely it will be hard. It was a | :34:56. | :35:02. | |
late night. They probably had to go into doping control, fit in food and | :35:03. | :35:07. | |
relaxation. This is what they have trained for. They have known the | :35:08. | :35:11. | |
schedule for a long time. It is difficult. This morning, they will | :35:12. | :35:17. | |
feel in control. They know they are swimming well. That is a bonus. | :35:18. | :35:29. | |
These Scottish have a lot to live up to. Robbie Renwick is in heat number | :35:30. | :35:35. | |
five. The defending champion. He has to get through this to get to the | :35:36. | :35:40. | |
final. In the 50 and 100m bases, we have | :35:41. | :35:49. | |
the finals the following evening. In the 200m, heat in the morning and | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
final in the evening. There was no hanging about. The top eight will go | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
through to the final this evening. Ross is reigning champion. | :35:59. | :36:17. | |
First up we have the 200m freestyle. And here is the timetable. | :36:18. | :36:40. | |
It is warm in here. And warm in the evening once the lights had been on | :36:41. | :36:48. | |
all day. It is boasting. A busy morning. They had to crack | :36:49. | :36:58. | |
on. One of the highlights of last night was the Australian world | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
record. Did you expect them to go that quickly? | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
Yes, everyone in the swimming world did. On paper it showed they would | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
break the world record. They are the fastest swimmers in the world right | :37:12. | :37:18. | |
now. What is nice is very had that target. They are a long wait ahead. | :37:19. | :37:29. | |
They did not stop. They went for it and tactically give it right with | :37:30. | :37:35. | |
who they placed in the relay. We will see a lot of them again this | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
morning. How much of a confidence is it to have a gold medal already? | :37:41. | :37:45. | |
When you have done all the training and leading up to a major meet, you | :37:46. | :37:53. | |
get confidence from one race and it goes into other racers. -- races. If | :37:54. | :38:07. | |
you look at the English team, they weren't a million miles away from | :38:08. | :38:16. | |
the Aussies. Fantastic for them. The knock on effect is not just here | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
in the swimming pool, statistically, it is Scotland's best ever, what | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
games, and it tends to happen when they win early in the Games. | :38:27. | :38:34. | |
It gets the ball rolling. It was the very first race. It is great for the | :38:35. | :38:42. | |
English, Welsh, we saw loads of medals last night. It gives the | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
whole British team a boost. They train together. A lot of them train | :38:47. | :38:57. | |
in Bath. They know their squad is swimming well. It gives a boost to | :38:58. | :39:06. | |
the others. Good to see James Guy get his first | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
senior medal last night. In the World Championships last | :39:12. | :39:16. | |
year, he shone out. When you come into a Championships, you still have | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
to deliver. He improved again and pushed the other guys. It is nice to | :39:22. | :39:29. | |
see for the other swimmers. We always need to see new talent. | :39:30. | :39:41. | |
Liam swam well last night. Always good to see. Heat number three in | :39:42. | :39:48. | |
the 200m freestyle, that as hand over to your commentators. -- let | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
us. The result of the second heat of | :39:54. | :40:16. | |
this 200m freestyle. A new Isle of Man record. A lifetime best by over | :40:17. | :40:24. | |
one second. The big boys are coming out, the | :40:25. | :40:30. | |
first of the seeded heats. David McKeon, what can he do after that | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
fascinating 400m freestyle final, we thought he had it in the bag. Ryan | :40:36. | :40:41. | |
Cochrane came from nowhere to win the gold medal. | :40:42. | :40:52. | |
Calum Jarvis from Wales in shot. Nick Grainger, since the trials, he | :40:53. | :41:01. | |
was at the ten weeks with a stress fracture to his back. Apparently he | :41:02. | :41:07. | |
has come on really well. Ryan Cochrane, the champion from last | :41:08. | :41:09. | |
night, a stunning last 50m. Heat number three of five. David | :41:10. | :41:26. | |
McKeon of Australia, world ranked number seven in this event. He has a | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
decent start, that yellow hat right in the centre. A little bit shorter | :41:32. | :41:37. | |
than he would prefer, he prefers this to 400 metres freestyle. He | :41:38. | :41:45. | |
went so fast in the 400 free but paid for it. With 75 to go it | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
started to unfold. You have two try to learn from what | :41:51. | :41:56. | |
you do. I have seen him go out over a second faster than that, and he | :41:57. | :42:05. | |
tired up again. He has to work on that. He has a beautiful stroke, | :42:06. | :42:11. | |
Calum Jarvis from the Seychelles, Calum Jarvis from the Seychelles, | :42:12. | :42:22. | |
first over, Wales, actually. Certainly Wales! That is a gutsy | :42:23. | :42:29. | |
swim from the Welshman. If you can keep it up and bring it home, that | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
would be great to see. No semifinals in the 200. No mistakes. Jervis is | :42:36. | :42:45. | |
turning first again. A big swim. He has a backstroke history, he | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
changed to freestyle. He is coming away from the field. A phenomenal | :42:50. | :42:55. | |
swim. He is taking McKeon apart. Going away, nearly a body length | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
ahead. A strong kick. This is | :43:00. | :43:08. | |
extraordinary. Calum Jarvis. A new lifetime best for him. Is it a Welsh | :43:09. | :43:11. | |
record I think it is. Goodness me. He has beaten David | :43:12. | :43:29. | |
McKeon. Remind me never to bet on swimming. | :43:30. | :43:37. | |
I am not sure if Ryan Cochrane will make the final. Maybe from last | :43:38. | :43:47. | |
night, his gold medal swim. This is super, the Welshman showing | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
everyone how to do it. A new Welsh record. It will be tight to make | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
that final. Heat four. The second of the three | :43:57. | :44:07. | |
fastest heats. Fraser-Holmes in the Australian | :44:08. | :44:36. | |
trials did the same, setting good times. He has said he can do it. | :44:37. | :44:50. | |
They have just watched the third heat and it wasn't that fast. A very | :44:51. | :44:58. | |
good swim from the Welshman. After that, I think the next two could set | :44:59. | :45:03. | |
a pace. latter he -- heats. | :45:04. | :45:28. | |
Fraser Holmes, third fastest in the world of this year, yellow cap. | :45:29. | :45:39. | |
Great position for James Guy to be in. | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
A really fast hundred from both of these guys. Out like lightning. | :45:45. | :45:57. | |
Thomas Fraser of Australia forced to turn -- first. | :45:58. | :46:07. | |
James Guy, a real talent for Great Britain swimming. But it is Robbie | :46:08. | :46:32. | |
Renwicks. Fraser Holmes looks a little bit | :46:33. | :46:40. | |
more comfortable. The British record, one. Lloyd, 148. James Guy | :46:41. | :47:20. | |
just took two hundredths off his fastest time. He is right on form. | :47:21. | :47:44. | |
Fraser Holmes winning. You don't want to be equal eighth position. | :47:45. | :48:00. | |
So, defending champion Robbie Renwick, he has a big job to make | :48:01. | :48:08. | |
the final. But should do it. He has not shown much form this year. 47.6 | :48:09. | :48:17. | |
his best swim this year. And in 48 should get him in the top three. But | :48:18. | :48:27. | |
he has not really needed to. Yes, but sometimes it is good to put | :48:28. | :48:34. | |
yourself in that fast speed. The fastest seed is McEvoy of | :48:35. | :48:38. | |
Australia, world ranked number two this year. He has gone very fast | :48:39. | :48:47. | |
indeed. Defending champion Robbie Renwick close to him. But look, | :48:48. | :49:02. | |
McEvoy is off like a shot. Only a handful of people swam under 1.46 | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
this year. McEvoy the lead in that group. Now, it looks like Renwick | :49:09. | :49:21. | |
it's coming back. The sort of thing he does. Good second half is two -- | :49:22. | :49:41. | |
of the race. As long as he can pick it up now. In that white cap, | :49:42. | :49:48. | |
closest to the leader. It is still reasonably fast. 1.28 of the split. | :49:49. | :49:57. | |
We are close to a Commonwealth record. Just a little bit down on | :49:58. | :50:05. | |
it. But getting back like a rocket, really good from Renwick, really | :50:06. | :50:14. | |
catching him up. He came back very well indeed. 1.47, he is definitely | :50:15. | :50:24. | |
in the final. A hundredths ahead of Matthew Stanley in New Zealand, all | :50:25. | :50:35. | |
three will make its head. There might well be a swim off. Yes, for | :50:36. | :50:48. | |
seventh, eighth, and ninth. One place, three swimmers, they will | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
need to do it at the end of this heat session. They have got a bit of | :50:53. | :51:01. | |
a while. That was hard work for Renwick, but McEvoy looked good. He | :51:02. | :51:17. | |
looks comfortable, and he has the seats for the 400 medley coming up | :51:18. | :51:29. | |
-- heats. It is interesting, but he did it at the Australian trials. He | :51:30. | :51:42. | |
is in good shape. He has come through, this guy. Last year, | :51:43. | :51:51. | |
finalist but no medals at the World Championships. Olympics, just in the | :51:52. | :51:58. | |
seats as a relay swimmer. So, just starting to show. He is only 20. He | :51:59. | :52:08. | |
took on James Magnussen in the hundred metres freestyle and beat | :52:09. | :52:15. | |
him. Which was quite extraordinary. Magnussen declared he was going for | :52:16. | :52:23. | |
the world record. And up steps young McEvoy, and not only did Magnussen | :52:24. | :52:29. | |
not brake the world record, but he came second in the race! The Dutch | :52:30. | :52:38. | |
coach has now gone over to Australia. I imagine they would have | :52:39. | :52:45. | |
had eight quick chat. Get yourself right, and of records,, records | :52:46. | :52:46. | |
comp. Exciting times. We are heading for a | :52:47. | :53:05. | |
swim off. Only one place available. Three swimmers will swim at the end | :53:06. | :53:09. | |
of the session, racing for that one place. A horrible place to be in but | :53:10. | :53:22. | |
I think Ryan Cochrane will thrive. A minor technical glitch but we will | :53:23. | :53:25. | |
show you the results of the men's 200 metres freestyle. When we would | :53:26. | :53:40. | |
race, if there was a swim off, all these rumours would go, swim off, | :53:41. | :53:52. | |
swim off! I notice Rebecca did not join in! I've never had a swim off. | :53:53. | :54:01. | |
You were never involved in one, never seen one? No, I don't think | :54:02. | :54:12. | |
so. These guys will now have to swim again, then prepare again for the | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
final, so it is really tough, but it is what it is about. The July that | :54:18. | :54:34. | |
clapping? -- did you like that? It is my kind of thing! If it is one of | :54:35. | :54:44. | |
yours, you don't like the swim off, but if it is not, you are not that | :54:45. | :54:54. | |
bothered about it. Michael Jamieson and Andrew Willis | :54:55. | :54:57. | |
put an amazing performances last night. There is a knock-on effect. | :54:58. | :55:07. | |
You know what, the rest of my squad our swimming well. So it will be | :55:08. | :55:13. | |
interesting to see what we get tonight. | :55:14. | :55:19. | |
Davies is from the school of thought, you just get on with it, | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
none of this entertaining nonsense! You just get on and swim! | :55:25. | :55:33. | |
It does help. You spend 20 hours a week with your coach, you socialise | :55:34. | :55:39. | |
together, so it does not mean that if somebody else has a nightmare, | :55:40. | :55:45. | |
you will have one as well, but, yes, positivity does around the | :55:46. | :55:50. | |
room, knowing other people have done it, seeing them with their medals, | :55:51. | :55:54. | |
you think, I don't want to miss out, I want one of them as well. | :55:55. | :56:07. | |
This is a big opportunity now for Fran Halsell, isn't it? | :56:08. | :56:16. | |
Yes, she was disappointed with her performance in London and scraped | :56:17. | :56:23. | |
only a bronze in the worlds, so this is a chance this year for her to | :56:24. | :56:27. | |
make a name for herself a bit more and get the medals that she rightly | :56:28. | :56:34. | |
deserves. This is in Barcelona last year, getting that bronze in the | :56:35. | :56:39. | |
World Championships. Cate Campbell took silver, and she will be in the | :56:40. | :56:45. | |
pool today. Not much between them, can they bridge the gap? | :56:46. | :56:58. | |
On paper, she could potentially, but what was interesting about the World | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
Championships was the fact that we have not won any medals, and it was | :57:02. | :57:06. | |
the ultimate day, so what's the pressure on her performance. -- | :57:07. | :57:16. | |
penultimate day, so lots of pressure. A lot on her shoulder, but | :57:17. | :57:24. | |
she stood up and performed. She made a change of coach last year. | :57:25. | :57:34. | |
Sometimes those things take a shift. She is one of the most talented | :57:35. | :57:42. | |
swimmers I have ever seen. Sprinters are born to sprint. It is down to | :57:43. | :57:52. | |
your body make-up. She is one of those people who does deliver. Yes, | :57:53. | :57:56. | |
the Olympics was disappointing, fifth, she came, but at every other | :57:57. | :58:02. | |
major meeting she has stepped up and taking a medal. | :58:03. | :58:10. | |
She seems like a great character. Always got such confidence out of | :58:11. | :58:16. | |
the pool. It is hard to tell with her. She has | :58:17. | :58:22. | |
changed coaches. She normally races are really well all year round but | :58:23. | :58:25. | |
this year she was doing something a bit different so I am looking | :58:26. | :58:31. | |
forward to seeing it. It will be an interesting morning. | :58:32. | :58:37. | |
Courtney Butcher is from Guernsey, we also have swimmers from the Isle | :58:38. | :58:43. | |
of Man, lots of representation from the home nations. Let's move over to | :58:44. | :58:47. | |
the commentators. Joe -- Joachim, I would not be | :58:48. | :59:13. | |
surprised to see in finals shortly. This is heat four of eight. We are | :59:14. | :59:21. | |
seeing some of the less traditional swimming nations here. The Ugandan | :59:22. | :59:36. | |
is the fastest seed. Courtney Butcher of Guernsey is in lane | :59:37. | :59:37. | |
three. 50 metres freestyle. The pace is | :59:38. | :59:54. | |
starting to hot up. I would imagine these ladies are a little bit | :59:55. | :59:57. | |
spooked by the time of the previous heat. The 14-year-old from Saint | :59:58. | :00:06. | |
Vincent and the Grenadines, below 27, extremely good. This looks like | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
it will be the Ugandan, just, by five hundredths. A good swim from | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
Courtney Butcher. Her lifetime best was 27.75. She has just gone .48. So | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
a new lifetime best, well done Courtney. Once again lane for | :00:31. | :00:43. | |
pulling out the fastest swim. Here are the results of that heat. | :00:44. | :01:14. | |
We will start to get down to 26s shortly. So, the last of the | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
unseeded heats in the women's 50 metres freestyle. We have already | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
seen a very low 27. So, the last of the unseeded heats | :01:31. | :02:04. | |
in the women's 50m freestyle. We have got some extraordinarily quick | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
swimmers in the last two heats. And look at this. Going very well indeed | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
in Lane 2, Hill of Northern Ireland. She got second. And her time, 27.23. | :02:20. | :02:35. | |
That is a landmark for her. The Irish girl, a 14-year-old, having a | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
fantastic swim, getting close to dropping under 27. Best time for | :02:42. | :02:53. | |
her. Laura Kinley also doing very well, from the Isle of Man. I think | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
it is probably going to be low 25s to make the final. | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
I think you're right, Bronte Campbell might go even into the | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
24s. She is certainly capable. So, the first of the seeded heats... | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Bronte Campbell of Australia, part of that world record-breaking relay | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
team from yesterday. Davies, the 16-year-old, in Lane 7, for Wales. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
She swam a very good leg on the Welsh relay, actually. | :03:36. | :03:54. | |
So, world ranked sixth is Bronte Campbell of Australia. This is the | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
50m freestyle. Maybe better at 100m. But look at the strength and power. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
The two Bronte sisters on tub of the podium. Both gold medallists and | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
world record holders from last night. What a family that is. Look | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
at this, what a demonstration of 50m freestyle! Brilliant stuff! That is | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
a stunning swim. Games record it is. Good heavens! What a start! Well, | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
she is meant to be the third fastest, and it is a new | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Commonwealth record for Bronte Campbell of Australia. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Wow! ADRIAN MOORHOUSE: We mentioned it | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
before, the girls grew up in Malawi, swimming away from crocodiles. | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Fantastic swim! She was knocked out of the Delhi competition, the last | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Commonwealth Games, with Anja LeFevre. But the two Bronte sisters | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
signalling their intent. I think this will be a time for the rest to | :05:03. | :05:12. | |
aim for. ANDREW JAMESON: I am sure that will | :05:13. | :05:23. | |
be broken again before this is done. That is clearly the comfortable | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
targets to make it through to the semis, sub 26. Fran Halsall, the | :05:27. | :05:38. | |
only British swimmer to get a medal at the World Championships last | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
year, and that was in this event. Here is Amy Smith. Both women | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
getting that silver medal last night, in the four times 100m, they | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
will have been quite pleased with that, finishing behind Australia. | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
The second last heat of the women's 50m freestyle. Fran Halsall of | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
England getting a decent start. Very short, choppy stroke it is. She is | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
in Lane 4, world ranked amber for this year. And these two are going | :06:16. | :06:25. | |
well. The Commonwealth Games record has just been set. And it has gone | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
again! So, for the second time in two heats, the Commonwealth Games | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
record has gone. And I would imagine it may well go in the final as well. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Fran Halsall sticking out a very, very strong marker. Really pleased | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
for her. She is a bit of confidence swimmer, I think. Absolutely, she | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
needs this kind of thing to she had a nightmare in Delhi, got a stomach | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
illness, and did not achieve what you wanted to do there. But this is | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
really good for confidence. She had one breath, about 15 metres out, and | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
put her head back down again. I like the idea of doing that, getting some | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
air in before the end. That is only two tenths outside of her lifetime | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
best, which was set in one of those shiny suits. | :07:16. | :07:29. | |
And what a final heat we have got here. Cate Campbell in Lane 4, | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
Melanie Schlanger in Lane 5. The two Australians from that relay team | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
which set the world record, but Cate Campbell was absolutely brilliant. | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
Her split was 52.1, I think it was. Utterly extraordinary. There she is, | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
Cate Campbell. Her sister set the new Commonwealth Games record in | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
Heat 6. Fran Halsall just wrote it. And there is end be. Sub 24? We will | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
see, but I think the record will go again. | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
Sian Harkin, the 19-year-old from Scotland, is in Lane 3. And the | :08:19. | :08:28. | |
Australians in the centre looking very comfortable. Look how strong | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
Cate Campbell is in the centre. World champion on the 100m | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
freestyle, and she is swimming away from Schlanger. This is brilliant. I | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
think it may be under 24. 24.3. I am surprised, I think you called it, | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Adrian Moorhouse! Well, I will tell you what, the way she held the | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
water, the strength of the stroke, was fantastic. I am surprised the | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
record did not go again, though. Dig 24 is quite a big one to ask for. | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
But she dominated this field again. I think it is between the two | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
sisters and Fran, when we get to the final. Of course, it is semifinals | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
tonight. Going into those semifinals, Fran Halsall is the | :09:18. | :09:18. | |
fastest. 26th. -- under 26. Celebrating the | :09:19. | :09:59. | |
world record last night, and gold medals, it is hard to come down | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
after those things, but obviously they have done. So, here are the | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
qualifiers for Fran Halsall goes in fastest, with her Games record. | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
Then, the Campbell sisters. Amy Smith and Sian Harkin are also in | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
there. Jessica Lloyd. Hannah McCarthy has made it as well - well | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
done, excellent! So, a new Games record for Fran | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
Halsall. We will be talking more about that in a minute, but now it | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
is time to go back to Mishal Husain, who has got some news from | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
the athletics. Yes, some news about the Welsh | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
hurdler Rhys Williams. We have learned that he has failed a drugs | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
test and is going to play no further part in the Commonwealth Games. That | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
announcement has come from Team Wales this morning. He is a | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
high-profile member of the Welsh team, the defending 400 metre | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
European hurdles champion. These pictures are from an athletics | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
meeting in Glasgow just a few weeks ago. So, he will be playing no | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
further role in the Commonwealth Games, with the athletics due to | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
start this weekend. It follows the news that he has failed a drugs | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
test, and he has been handed a mandatory provisional suspension | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
from all competition by the UK anti-dumping authorities. More on | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
that later on, but now, back to the swimming heats. So, Fran Halsall, | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
with a new record for the Commonwealth Games, but what do you | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
make of the Campbell sisters? They are just absolutely totally in | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
control of this one. Bronte just looked really long, really smooth. | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
Mark did a stroke count on them all, and it was fascinating to see the | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
difference between how Fran swims and how the Campbell sisters swim. | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
We can hear from Fran now. What a fantastic swim? Yes, it is my | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
fastest time of the year, so it is a nice way to start. Hopefully will be | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
a bit faster tonight. But it is a nice pool, the crowd get you going a | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
bit. Seeing Bronte go fast gave me the incentive. You might have to | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
make the most of this Commonwealth Games record just for about 20 | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
seconds, because Cate is moving quite quickly, isn't she? Yes, it is | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
going to be a nice final. It will be a close one. What do you see as your | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
speciality now, or do you not really have one? Obviously, you had the | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
injury after the Games, then last year you decided to specialise...? | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
Can you see the time? No, it is still yours! That is a nice bonus to | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
go into the semi with! Sorry, I got distracted. What do you reckon is | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
your speciality? This is my year of finding out, really. I wanted to add | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
the hundred back in and train a bit more on that one, and then after | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
this year, make a decision on what is going to be the best combination | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
for the Olympics. Really focusing on maybe just 50, or see if the 100 | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
will be good enough to get on the podium just that is what it is all, | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
giving myself the best chance of getting on the podium in Rio. I do | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
not want to spread myself too thinly, so it is all about trying to | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
decide. Well, it looked fantastic, more of that, please! Thank you, I | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
will try. That was Fran watching the final heat. Her stroke, you were | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
counting hammy strokes she did, what did you make of it? If you look at | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
the stroke tempo, Fran is not as tall as Cate and Bronte. She took 42 | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
strokes, compared to Cate, 31 strokes. It is all about the | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
reaction of the block, the entry into the water, and trying to go 15 | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
metres under the water before you get going. If you look at Fran, in | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
Lane 4, her turnover, how fast her arms are going over, she is doing 43 | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
strokes to Cate's 31. That is just the way she swims. You are trying to | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
get yourself on top of the water. If you think of a speedboat, the faster | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
it goes, the more it comes out of the water, because there is less | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
resistance. But it does not matter how you swim it, it is who gets | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
their fastest. Fran has still got a great chance. And that is the best I | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
have seen her look in a heat. The best for a long time. I guess the | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
theory and practice can end up being very different, as we saw last | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
night, with Michael Jamieson coming in the favourite, but Ross Murdoch | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
having a phenomenal swim. Today, they both go again, next to each | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
other in the heats of the men's 100m. Not Michael's stronger | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
different. But how will Michael becoming into this one? Because it | :15:23. | :15:39. | |
is semi finals they don't need to push as hard, can be a little bit | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
more relaxed. How will you feel this morning? -- he feel. | :15:46. | :16:00. | |
Gutted. Absolutely gutted. The poster boy who seemed in such good | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
form, very confident, on paper, going to win by a gap. But what a | :16:07. | :16:31. | |
race from Ross. But hand over to our commentators | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
and see what happens. So exciting, I cannot believe they | :16:34. | :16:48. | |
have put these two guys next to each other. Ross Murdoch, his best race | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
is said to be 50 or 100, and he won the 200 last night. What is going | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
on? Michael Jamieson really has | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
something to prove. Here, it is about Jamieson and murder. The crowd | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
anticipating another head to head. -- Jamieson and Murdoch. | :17:21. | :17:29. | |
Guy Davis from the Isle of Man is in lane one. Dawson of Northern Ireland | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
into Mac. But it is really about four and five. | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
There is a real contrast. He has the ability, he can really power out, | :17:45. | :17:59. | |
but he has really sped up his/ -- his stroke. Not sure if he is | :18:00. | :18:08. | |
hanging back on purpose. Curious to see if you can get under a minute in | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
the heat after the effort of last night. Murdoch doing well. Richard | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
Funk of Canada going well and the white hat. Look at that, so strong. | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
A comfortable time, I have got to say. That is definitely the morning | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
after the night before. Jamieson, through to the semifinal, I can only | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
hope that was him just getting there, a time for tonight, then get | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
back to bed. Only Jamieson can know what is going on for him, all sorts | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
of Demons in his head. Slow off the block. Murdoch realised he was | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
ahead. Then he concentrated on Richard Funk to his right. Just | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
digging. Look how high he can still get, real power. It is really hard | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
to get those arms to work in the last five metres. Ross Murdoch, the | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
common world champion of the 200 metres breaststroke, comfortable | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
through to that semifinal this evening. -- Commonwealth. The | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
standard of swimmer in this hundreds metres breaststroke is frightening. | :19:46. | :19:58. | |
The top four in the world included. So, here we have the defending | :19:59. | :20:11. | |
champion and world record holder, van der Burgh of South Africa. | :20:12. | :20:26. | |
This is going to be interesting. They do not need to go that fast to | :20:27. | :20:37. | |
make the semifinal. Tactics? He will have to go for it, van der Burgh, he | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
has not shown much this year and this is a big competition. Just one | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
up from him in the lack cap, Snyders, uses his hips a lot less, | :20:53. | :21:03. | |
more stock even other swimmers. -- stocky. Looking rusty, van der | :21:04. | :21:14. | |
Burgh. Sometimes when you do not need to push it you just lose your | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
rhythm a little bit. It looks like Snyders we'll win it. In second, van | :21:23. | :21:36. | |
der Burgh, third, James Wilby. Certainly in the first four will go | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
through to the semifinal. Very comfortable swimming in these heats. | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
I think some are a bit hung over from last night. Not literally! I am | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
curious whether van der Burgh has got the fire in him. That is a bit | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
unusual. Looking a bit sluggish. Although third fastest time in the | :22:10. | :22:10. | |
world, this year, mind. The final heat of the men's 100 | :22:11. | :22:29. | |
metres breaststroke. The world champion, Christian Sprenger, in | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
lane four. Craig Benson in three for Scotland. It will be interesting to | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
see how Sprenger shows after last night. A first showing for Benson, | :22:46. | :23:04. | |
he was not in that 200. Sprenger in the Centre for Australia, yellow | :23:05. | :23:15. | |
hat. The world ranked number one and two Inverness. -- in this. Katie is | :23:16. | :23:33. | |
quite a strong guy, very powerful. -- Patey. Strong off the wall. | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
Sprenger struggling to stay with him. His head is all over the place. | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
I wonder if this will get under a minute. This is looking awful from | :23:50. | :24:00. | |
Sprenger. He cannot be comfortable. 59.47. Very good indeed from | :24:01. | :24:15. | |
Peatey, by far the fastest of the geeks. That was impressive and a new | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
Commonwealth Games record. -- the fastest of the heats. He came fourth | :24:22. | :24:35. | |
in that same race with Murdoch and Jamieson. He had to wake up and do | :24:36. | :24:44. | |
this. Pretty impressive. On the other hand, the world champion, | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
Sprenger, really not looking good. It could be a home countries battle. | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
With the South African playing spoiler. A new Commonwealth Games | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
record. Benson will be in the semifinals. But did not look good | :25:07. | :25:20. | |
for the Australian, Sprenger. A games record for Peaty, only man | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
through to the semifinals under a minute. Van der Burgh, nicely in | :25:29. | :25:38. | |
fourth. Michael Jamieson in 10th place. A lot of work to do. | :25:39. | :25:54. | |
The much discussed final of the 200. Adam Peaty, what a swimmer for him, | :25:55. | :26:09. | |
a new games record. It can go to waste. People like | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
Michael, Willis, the 100 is not their strength. Whereas Murdoch, | :26:17. | :26:29. | |
Peaty, it is their event. I think Adam just wanted the confidence this | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
morning. He wanted to show the others. Like laying a marker down. | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
He could have had an easy morning but I think he wanted to test | :26:44. | :26:44. | |
himself out a little bit. You two must have had a different | :26:45. | :26:56. | |
night last night, did you get any sleep at all? | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
I managed eventually! It took me time to get over what I did last | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
night and eventually got five hours in. | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
When you woke to see your face all over the newspapers did you think it | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
was a dream? I have not been able to see any of | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
it, television or newspapers. I have not seen any of the press. Maybe | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
later. Maybe a good thing, just leaving it | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
until later. Michael, you had a top night but you are an unbelievable | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
professional, you just did behind you? -- will you just leave it | :27:39. | :27:48. | |
behind you? I will just try to enjoy it now, | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
soak up the atmosphere, and wish these guys are the best. Ross has | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
written his name on the history books last night, but I know he will | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
have one eye on the 100, and with his confidence, he will be dangerous | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
in the final. Incredibly gracious of him to do | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
these interviews. It is sometimes difficult. But these | :28:17. | :28:25. | |
guys, especially Ross, he is just in a daydream at the moment. He just | :28:26. | :28:37. | |
wants to let people get to know him. A little bit of a debrief with | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
Sharon, and you want to stand and watch the other races also. | :28:44. | :28:51. | |
The woman's 100-metre backstroke, Emily Seabourn is favourite. | :28:52. | :29:00. | |
The Australian girls are incredible. But we have some strong girls, | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
Davies of Wales, Quigley of England, Symonds of England, it is a really | :29:07. | :29:13. | |
strong field. It will be a really tight race. There is no clear | :29:14. | :29:20. | |
favourite. I do not think one person will be miles ahead of the rest. | :29:21. | :29:27. | |
We go back to that breaststroke a minute ago. Number one in the world, | :29:28. | :29:35. | |
Sprenger, he was awful. You were not impressed, were you? No. Australia | :29:36. | :29:43. | |
have the Pan Pacific games, maybe he was focused on that, but they will | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
remember the Commonwealth, what happened here right now, and if you | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
do not perform, that is not on the result sheet. Like you said, you are | :29:53. | :29:59. | |
still proud of your Edinburgh medal. For a Paralympic | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
gold-medallist from Northern Ireland, her event is not in the | :30:05. | :30:12. | |
Commonwealth Games, so she is going in this event instead because she is | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
an accomplished able-bodied swimmer as well. That is what is so great | :30:17. | :30:24. | |
about these games, what it embodies. It will be great to see how she | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
handles it. It can be quite daunting. It be interesting, | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
tactically, it works. There are only four heats, this is | :30:34. | :31:06. | |
the first of the seeded heats. Elizabeth Simmonds goes in Lane 5, | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
next to the fast Australian. The first time we have seen Lizzie | :31:13. | :31:20. | |
Simmonds at this Commonwealth Games. It may be a little bit short for | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
her, but she has had a very good season. | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
So, the first of the seeded heats in the women's 400m backstroke. Bethany | :31:30. | :31:45. | |
Firth of Northern Ireland is in Lane 7. Catherine Dawson is having a | :31:46. | :31:54. | |
great year. She won the Scottish Championships at the age of 16. | :31:55. | :32:02. | |
There she is with the blue. Simmons and Hocking, both 23 years of age. | :32:03. | :32:12. | |
Now, Hocking coming away from the field. Simmonds struggling to hold | :32:13. | :32:23. | |
on. It is still a very good swim from the Scot, Kathleen Dawson, in | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
Lane 6. This could be a Scottish record. Hocking WinZip, very good | :32:29. | :32:35. | |
from her, second was Lizzie Simmonds of England, and if I am not | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
mistaken, that is a new Scottish record for Kathleen Dawson. Good | :32:40. | :32:55. | |
swim in the heat. There is the turn, nearest to us. | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
Hocking proving a little bit too strong. On the far left, Simmonds | :33:00. | :33:09. | |
and Dawson battling it out. So, the first of the seeded heats, | :33:10. | :33:14. | |
and it is a quick time, Belinda Hocking clearly laying down a mask | :33:15. | :33:21. | |
-- laying down a marker. Sub-60, that is very impressive. Was it a | :33:22. | :33:28. | |
Commonwealth Games record, actually I know I think it was. They have not | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
shown it yet, but I think it was. Yes, Commonwealth Games record. Yes, | :33:34. | :33:44. | |
by one 100th of a second. So, the second of the seeded heats, and | :33:45. | :33:48. | |
Georgia Davies of Wales, what a great opportunity for a medal she | :33:49. | :33:53. | |
will have. But tonight, but tomorrow in the final. She has got to get | :33:54. | :33:56. | |
there first, though, via the semis tonight. Rachel Williams goes for | :33:57. | :34:03. | |
Wales in Lane 2. She trains down in Bath. And the Welsh record-holder, | :34:04. | :34:12. | |
Georgia Davies, in Lane 5. Next to her is Wilson of Australia. I think | :34:13. | :34:23. | |
Georgia Davies will go sub-60. Her best time is pretty much exactly the | :34:24. | :34:25. | |
same, 59.78. So, two lengths of backstroke, 15 | :34:26. | :34:37. | |
metres underwater. I tell you what, right on the edge, Georgia Davies, | :34:38. | :34:42. | |
in Lane 4, with the white hat. You cannot go past the 15 metre mark. It | :34:43. | :34:49. | |
was right on the line, wasn't it? It was. I was watching her do some | :34:50. | :34:54. | |
practising, and her coaches were pulling her back of it. Good | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
swimming from Lauren Quigley, the 19-year-old. From the English team. | :34:59. | :35:10. | |
Oh, good turn again from Georgia Davies, using pretty much the whole | :35:11. | :35:14. | |
of the 15 metres. That has really affected the race. Edison Wilson was | :35:15. | :35:21. | |
ahead, but Davies's turn put her back into contention. Madison Wilson | :35:22. | :35:30. | |
leading for Australia, but I think she has been overtaken by Quigley. | :35:31. | :35:45. | |
Interesting way of swimming it from Lauren Quigley. She was out | :35:46. | :35:51. | |
relatively slow, but brought it back very strongly. Absolutely, the | :35:52. | :36:00. | |
strongest swimmer in good underwater from Davies, staying underwater for | :36:01. | :36:10. | |
the full 15 metres. She looks a lot like her mum, doesn't she? Yes, she | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
does! And her dad. So, there is the result. One heat to | :36:16. | :36:37. | |
go. I think Rachel Williams will make it through to the semis as | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
well, with just one heat to go. She is eighth so far, in fact, socially | :36:43. | :36:45. | |
will certainly make it through. So, the final heat. World ranked number | :36:46. | :36:53. | |
one is Emily Seebohm. She has already seen her team-mate going | :36:54. | :36:59. | |
sub-60. It will be interesting to see how she goes now. | :37:00. | :37:20. | |
So, the final heat of the women's 100m backstroke. A very good start | :37:21. | :37:34. | |
indeed. I wonder if Emily Seebohm will try to get her record back. It | :37:35. | :37:39. | |
is good to see Seebohm leading the race out. She was really | :37:40. | :37:42. | |
disappointed after 2012, I think she felt she could have done more. She | :37:43. | :37:47. | |
had a great Commonwealth Games in Delhi, eight medals out of eight | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
races. Well, half a second separates the first three, and Seebohm, again, | :37:52. | :38:06. | |
a good turn. 29.0 is OK out, I do not think she will go sub-60 after | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
that. She could do. She is swimming pretty well. The Canadians are going | :38:11. | :38:20. | |
with her. But at that, a new Commonwealth Games record. She just | :38:21. | :38:32. | |
went 29.0, 30.5. That is pretty impressive splits. She is a real | :38:33. | :38:35. | |
threat. World ranked number one this year. Fastest qualifier into the | :38:36. | :38:43. | |
race. So, Seebohm, the one to watch, really. Just doing the job, through | :38:44. | :38:52. | |
to the semis. ANDREW JAMESON: Back is the third | :38:53. | :38:59. | |
fastest time in the world this year. ADRIAN MOORHOUSE: Good swimming from | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
the Canadians, though, Russell and Snodgrass, they were quite close. | :39:04. | :39:12. | |
Jessica Love should also make it through to the semis. The youngster | :39:13. | :39:23. | |
Hill might not make it. In actual fact, she is tied for 16th, she will | :39:24. | :39:26. | |
have a swim-off to get into the semis. So, here are the | :39:27. | :39:33. | |
semifinalists confirmed. Almost as expected. You could see Lauren | :39:34. | :39:39. | |
Quigley getting amongst the medals, that she has just got to qualify | :39:40. | :39:43. | |
tonight. Georgia Davies, in seventh, a little bit of a surprise. Kathleen | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
Dawson, breaking that Scottish record. | :39:48. | :40:02. | |
I can tell you that there is a swim-off for that 16th place, and it | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
is between the Kenyan and Danielle Hill, the 14-year-old from Northern | :40:10. | :40:10. | |
Ireland. But right now, we turn our attention | :40:11. | :40:21. | |
to a swim-off for the one Remaining Place in the 200 metre final. Mark | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
is excited, he wanted to start up a Mexican wave, Rebecca, not so up for | :40:27. | :40:34. | |
it? No, they are always exciting, but I like it when it is just to | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
swimmers. This time it is three, and all of them want that spot. It is | :40:38. | :40:47. | |
like a dance off in Strictly. Mark's line! | :40:48. | :40:58. | |
ANDREW JAMESON: So, looking forward to this one. One spot available -3 | :40:59. | :41:04. | |
swimmers in it. On paper, it is Cochrane, but they | :41:05. | :41:23. | |
are not swimming on paper, Adrian. ADRIAN MOORHOUSE: It is interesting | :41:24. | :41:30. | |
that they have put it now, rather than later. So, Ieuan Lloyd is | :41:31. | :41:43. | |
closest to us. No, sorry, I am not sure they have got them in the right | :41:44. | :41:50. | |
lanes, have they...? It says on the board here, Ieuan Lloyd of Wales is | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
in Lane 3. And it says Nick Grainger of England is in Lane 4 and Ryan | :41:56. | :42:03. | |
Cochrane is in Lane 5. But I think yes, Lloyd is nearest to us. | :42:04. | :42:11. | |
Grainger with the black from England is the one that is leading. So, Nick | :42:12. | :42:18. | |
Grainger, from England. He has got a length up on the first 100. We know | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
that Ryan Cochrane in the middle has got a good finish on him. He will | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
wind this up. So, Grainger goes over first. Cochrane is in the centre, in | :42:29. | :42:36. | |
second. And in third, it is Ieuan Lloyd, closest to us. Grainger has | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
gone out really hard. This is sort of how it went in the heats, and | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
Ryan Cochrane, who won the 400m, came back. He can do it, but he has | :42:46. | :42:51. | |
got clear water between him and Cochrane. It is not over, when you | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
have got Ryan Cochrane in a race like this, with 50m to go... So, it | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
is Grainger leading, Ryan Cochrane coming back. Has Grainger done | :43:02. | :43:08. | |
enough? He might have, you know. Cochrane is working very hard for | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
Canada, I do not think he is going to catch Grainger. Look at this. It | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
looks like Grainger is going to hold on. Grainger gets it, Ieuan Lloyd | :43:18. | :43:31. | |
second, Cochrane third. I can tell you that graphic is wrong, Nick | :43:32. | :43:38. | |
Grainger has made it through. And I have got to say, all three of them | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
going faster than the time they set in the heats. And if any of them had | :43:43. | :43:47. | |
set that time there would not have been a swim-off. But it is Grainger | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
who has gone through. Brilliant, that is how you do it. Cochrane | :43:53. | :44:01. | |
grimacing a bit. But now he can focus on that 1500m. This was the | :44:02. | :44:08. | |
150 mark. Lloyd having a look over. Cochrane had a big look of that | :44:09. | :44:17. | |
turn. Just a bit too much to make up on more of a sprint race. And it was | :44:18. | :44:23. | |
Grainger who fractured his back, wasn't it? Yes, I was speaking to | :44:24. | :44:29. | |
somebody at Sheffield who said he had a stress fracture in his back | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
and he was out for ten weeks, and he has come back and looked even better | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
than he ever did. That was a super swim. So, I can confirm that Nick | :44:38. | :44:45. | |
Grainger won that swim-off, so he gets a place in the final of the | :44:46. | :44:47. | |
men's 200m freestyle. Let's look ahead to the 400m IM. | :44:48. | :45:04. | |
Good result there in the end. So, he gets his place in the final tonight. | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
We will see that with Clare Balding from seven o'clock in here. Now, | :45:09. | :45:12. | |
let's turn our attention to the men's 400m IM. A good friend of | :45:13. | :45:21. | |
yours goes in this one? Tom Layfield. He has been part of the | :45:22. | :45:31. | |
swimming a long time. But there is not a lot going on here, these guys | :45:32. | :45:37. | |
can relax a little bit, they do not need to go all out to make the | :45:38. | :45:44. | |
final. And a British record earlier in the | :45:45. | :45:51. | |
year will give him a bit of a boost. This is a slightly open event which | :45:52. | :45:56. | |
is nice. Australia will not necessarily dominate, or anyone | :45:57. | :46:08. | |
dominate. A good chance for Pavone, Fraser Holmes had a good race | :46:09. | :46:15. | |
earlier, but will he be tired now? It might not matter this morning, | :46:16. | :46:19. | |
but come the final he might be a little more tired than the others. | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
It is about your own race plan, tempo, getting it right. | :46:25. | :46:32. | |
The crowd are whipped into a frenzy. You might hear this at a football | :46:33. | :46:38. | |
match, but you are hearing it now in a swimming pool. | :46:39. | :46:46. | |
This is all about time in this heat going into the final this evening. | :46:47. | :46:57. | |
The men's 400 medley. You saw the Commonwealth Games record just the, | :46:58. | :47:14. | |
-- just there, but the holders not at these games. Russo of South | :47:15. | :47:22. | |
Africa in the lane for M. Russell Scotland in five. | :47:23. | :47:31. | |
Africa in the lane for M. Russell when you set yourself. You have your | :47:32. | :47:38. | |
routine. If something is not right, it is about timing. You can see them | :47:39. | :47:51. | |
conferring. Oh, I don't know. It is interesting. I am just looking | :47:52. | :47:56. | |
at the start having a chat with them, what are they talking about? | :47:57. | :48:04. | |
-- the starter. It is quite serious, something is | :48:05. | :48:08. | |
going on I think. They are having to work out what to do about it. | :48:09. | :48:18. | |
So many big shocks last night. You are right. Dan Wallace has a | :48:19. | :48:26. | |
great breaststroke as well. They are still chatting about something. I | :48:27. | :48:33. | |
wonder if they still thought that the caption was right and they have | :48:34. | :48:44. | |
just realised it was wrong. But they can sort it out later. I really like | :48:45. | :48:51. | |
the sky, Wallace, now trains in the United States. -- this by. Russo is | :48:52. | :49:00. | |
in the same university team, team-mates in America. | :49:01. | :49:08. | |
The first of two heats in the men's 400 metres individual medley. Wall | :49:09. | :49:16. | |
is of Scotland in five. The hack Wallace. -- wall is. | :49:17. | :49:31. | |
Russo leading out the race. Wallace has got a good breaststroke. This is | :49:32. | :49:52. | |
about what you would expect. Lane six, we are out of short, not having | :49:53. | :50:03. | |
a good race, Tom Hadfield. 55.6, very fast indeed. 56.4, from | :50:04. | :50:12. | |
Wallace. From the University of Florida. Lovely strokes. Look at | :50:13. | :50:28. | |
that. It is good for Wallace, he just needs to hang in there. Went | :50:29. | :50:40. | |
out in 56.2. Let's see what happens in the breaststroke. It is for | :50:41. | :50:47. | |
Wallace to try to make up that distance. Let's not forget Luke | :50:48. | :50:58. | |
Reilly. The 18-year-old from Canada. Can you see him? | :50:59. | :51:05. | |
They know exactly how many strokes to do before they flick over. | :51:06. | :51:13. | |
Russo leading at the halfway mark, from South Africa. Wallace from | :51:14. | :51:26. | |
Scotland, now starting to work his breaststroke. Particularly quick. I | :51:27. | :51:35. | |
would not be surprised if he ends up at a decent medal in the final | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
tonight. It would be great to see that. His | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
parents sold the family home to centre into America. He is one of | :51:46. | :51:58. | |
five children. -- to send him to. I bet he is excited to be within a | :51:59. | :52:09. | |
second of Russo. On the freestyle he must be able to hold this and go | :52:10. | :52:16. | |
through. I think you are right. This is a real challenge for a gold or | :52:17. | :52:23. | |
silver medal here from him. Just has to save a little bit for tonight. | :52:24. | :52:29. | |
This will be a massive Scottish record. I reckon it could even be a | :52:30. | :52:38. | |
British record. If he goes for 4.10, he could be second-fastest in | :52:39. | :52:47. | |
the world. Tom Hadfield holds the British | :52:48. | :52:52. | |
record, he is having a nightmare. The crowd are going not. -- nuts. A | :52:53. | :53:15. | |
very good swim indeed. A new Commonwealth Games record for | :53:16. | :53:23. | |
Wallace of Scotland. Another fantastic swim from him. To go with | :53:24. | :53:30. | |
the Scottish record he set in the 400 metres freestyle. I tell you | :53:31. | :53:37. | |
what, the rest of the field will be sitting thinking, oh my word. Waving | :53:38. | :53:48. | |
to the crowd and rightly so. A talented swimmer who has had some | :53:49. | :53:55. | |
tribulations over in the States. He is putting it behind him and letting | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
his talent show. Really made that count and took a good 2.5 seconds | :54:00. | :54:11. | |
out of Russo. Powering away. There are two Scotsman in the next | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
race, he is shouting to them, good lock! Good man. | :54:16. | :54:26. | |
A new Commonwealth Games record for Dan Wallace. I am not sure that | :54:27. | :54:40. | |
fourth place will be quick enough. Should be all right into rooms of | :54:41. | :54:45. | |
placing but the time is not great. -- in terms. | :54:46. | :54:53. | |
The Australian fastest cedars in lane four -- fastest seed is in. | :54:54. | :55:07. | |
Louis Smith of Scotland in three. More home nation interest. Louis | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
Smith of Scotland in lane three. More home nation interest. Louis | :55:13. | :55:25. | |
Smith of Scotland in He and Pavoni are both good but I am not sure they | :55:26. | :55:29. | |
will make a dent in the time of Fraser Holmes. Lovely underwater | :55:30. | :55:48. | |
shot. Not bad at all from Pavoni but it is the world ranked number three, | :55:49. | :55:52. | |
Fraser Holmes of Australia, leading them out. But we have just seen a | :55:53. | :55:59. | |
really quick first heat and a new British record from Dan Wallace. | :56:00. | :56:10. | |
Scottish swimming, goodness me! Golds and silvers, another three | :56:11. | :56:17. | |
through in the 200 metres breaststroke. They all seem to be | :56:18. | :56:28. | |
performing well. It gives momentum. You are in charge of your own | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
individual preparation but it gives you a lift to see friends and | :56:33. | :56:42. | |
colleagues and team-mates do well. Fraser Holmes a real classy | :56:43. | :56:47. | |
swimmer. Already swamped today earlier on. If you does this he will | :56:48. | :57:11. | |
be in two finals. -- if he. Did not use the full distance. Sometimes | :57:12. | :57:21. | |
very difficult and the backstroke. Sterling started his career at | :57:22. | :57:28. | |
Warrington. His mum and dad run a swimming teaching school. Really | :57:29. | :57:38. | |
making the most of the backstroke leg. Halfway through. Travis Mahoney | :57:39. | :57:49. | |
of Australia leads. Fraser Holmes is maybe just about in second place | :57:50. | :57:59. | |
stop Louis Smith of Scotland, and they only have two set 4.19, the | :58:00. | :58:07. | |
time that Tom Hadfield set. The question for me is whether | :58:08. | :58:10. | |
Fraser Holmes will do anything about his colleague, the older of the two, | :58:11. | :58:19. | |
Travis Mahoney. Four. 17 a personal best time. He has been in relay | :58:20. | :58:32. | |
teams in the freestyle before. Smith has now decided not to hang around | :58:33. | :58:36. | |
and try to get onto the shoulder of Travis Mahoney. | :58:37. | :58:43. | |
You can quite see it but in lane number seven, Ross Muir of Scotland, | :58:44. | :58:55. | |
he is right with the format in the centre -- the four in the centre, | :58:56. | :59:01. | |
and he could really make a final here. | :59:02. | :59:07. | |
Smith just bridging the gap between the two Australians. Keeping that | :59:08. | :59:30. | |
full kit going. -- kick. Smith and Pavoni, good positions. | :59:31. | :59:36. | |
I think Ross Muir might make it through. I think he could. I think | :59:37. | :59:46. | |
he could even go with 31. Travis Mahoney hanging on well. Pavoni | :59:47. | :59:55. | |
Looking good, he may well take it. Fraser Holmes third. Fourth was | :59:56. | :00:02. | |
Louis Smith. They will all go through. Has fifth made it in? I | :00:03. | :00:13. | |
think, in lane seven, Ross Muir has made it to the final by a hundredth | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
of a second. | :00:17. | :00:25. |
