Fraser Holmes third. Fourth was Louis Smith. They will all go | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
through. Has fifth made it in? I think, in lane seven, Ross Muir has | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
made it to the final by a hundredth of a second. | :00:18. | :00:42. | |
you missed the final by one 100th of a second. | :00:43. | :00:54. | |
Comfortable for the first three, and Louis Smith is in, but the good news | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
for Scotland and for Ross Muir is that Ross, by one 100th, has made | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
the final, but unfortunately for Wales, at the expense of Thomas | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
Hadfield. Well, a little bit of cat and mouse in that final heat. There | :01:14. | :01:22. | |
is confirmation of the finalists. Daniel Wallace with that new British | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
record and Commonwealth Games record. I have not sure that we have | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
seen the other guys at full speed, though. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Ross Muir in by the skin though. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Ross Muir of his teeth, but Dan Wallace in by a good chunk of time - | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
how good an indicator is that for tonight? Evidently for Dan, that is | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
really good. I think Thomas Fraser-Holmes has a lot more left in | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
the bank. He had heat of the 200m freestyle earlier. That is three | :01:55. | :02:05. | |
Scots in the final. But Wallace has laid down a marker and is looking to | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
be in exceptional form. That final is on BBC One tonight, with Clare | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Balding now, let's have a look at one of our para-events, the women's | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
100m freestyle. Mark, in the commentary box, people might | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
remember Stephanie Slater from able-bodied? Absolutely, she is a | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
very good breaststroke. Then she had an injury in training, she dived in | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
one day, she pulled hard and suddenly felt her arm go. After a | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
long diagnosis process, she realised she had damaged the point where the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
nervous coming out of your back go into your arm. She had actually lost | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
the use of that arm, and she is now on the Paralympic team, and she is a | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
great hope for England tonight. What about the representation on the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
whole? I think we do have a lot of great swimmers in the UK, I would | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
have liked to see more of them coming down. My generation has been | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
working hard to increase the profile for Paralympic sport, and I would | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
have liked to see a few more British athletes competing here. Over to you | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
and Andrew to take us through the action. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
ANDREW JAMESON: Six swimmers only in this heat for the S8 category. | :03:36. | :03:50. | |
That's right, if you think of it like boxing, you could actually take | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
part up a category, if you wanted to. So, interesting tactics here, | :03:56. | :04:08. | |
all of these swimmers will make the final, so it will be interesting to | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
see if they just decide to take it easy. Right in | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
see if they just decide to take it Slater is not taking it easy! You | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
can see her pulling very strong with that right arm, and a massive kick | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
as well. She has said she wants to go out hard in the morning, get a | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
feel for the pool. A very good turn again. Single arm freestyle, and she | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
is going 31.7. Able-bodied swimmers, C what you can do! It is possible to | :04:45. | :05:01. | |
break the world record here. So Elliott, the world champion on the | :05:02. | :05:14. | |
50m freestyle and 100m freestyle. I wonder if that was just to get rid | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
of the cobwebs, and maybe in the final this evening, she could stick | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
in a really fast one. But all six of these swimmers will make it through | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
to the final, so it is just really organising the lanes. The first to | :05:29. | :05:42. | |
finish was Elliott. Stephanie Slater really went for it. She did, and I | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
think we will see these girls going really went for it. She did, and I | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
even faster tonight. We have got the Kenyan here, she came ninth in this | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
race in Delhi. She is getting a massive cheer from this crowd, a | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
great reaction from the crowd here in Glasgow, appreciating all the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
effort that she is putting in down this final ten metres. She really is | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
working hard, great to see this. The 31-year-old from Kenya. Finishing | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
about 25-30 metres behind. Wonderful cheer from the crowd here in | :06:20. | :06:32. | |
Tollcross. And she will make the final - only six swimmers in it, a | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
double leg amputee. Look at that, really, really good from Stephanie | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Slater. How can you do that turn, just using one arm?! Great turn, and | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
looking at Maddison Elliott, last year she went within two tenths of | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
the world record, aged 15. year she went within two tenths of | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
the world record, aged If you are a club swimmer, an age-group swimmer, | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
you would expect to be faster when it comes to the final, and I think | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
we can expect to see that. So, Maddison Elliott will go into this | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
evening's final fastest. Great swim from Stephanie Slater, | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
but that was a great moment for the Kenyan swimmer. Yes, it is lovely | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
singing it. The Commonwealth Games, with able-bodied and para-athletes, | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
it is about taking part. It is one of these things, they stipulate with | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
the Olympic Games, you have the big nations, to promote sport within | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
your country, you want these athletes from other countries as | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
well to come and perform just it is a wonderful moment seeing things | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
like that. There will be people watching who think, I will give it a | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
it will have that knock-on effect. Let's turn our attention to the | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
men's four x one and freestyle. The girls pulled it out of the bag in | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
spectacular style last night, the Australians, so what do you think | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
the men have got to offer? The swimmers who are here in the heats | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
are not actually the ones who will swim tonight. They do change they | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
will bring some different ones in. Looking at the English team, they | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
will do the same. So, these guys this morning, it is all about the | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
team, and getting them through to the final. Well, Scotland, Wales and | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
Guernsey go in the first heat. Adrian and Andrew, over to you. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
So, Canada, traditionally the fastest seed. I think they have | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
simply drawn lots for the lanes. Scotland in Lane 2. We will speak | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
about that with Adrian in a moment. Guernsey are in Lane 5, New Zealand, | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
Lane 6, and Jarvis leading Wales off, closest to us, in Lane 7. | :09:00. | :09:21. | |
I like that lane at the top, I am not sure about you? I agree with | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
you! You want to be nearest to the crowd, but noise, next to your team. | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
I agree with you! Good, we have found something, finally! So, Jack | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
Thorpe, the second to turn. The Commonwealth Games, for some strange | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
reason, we always seem to have disqualification is on these relays, | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
and it is not a clever thing to do, obviously just but with so few | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
really high quality teams in it, we saw the | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
really high quality teams in it, we disqualified, for example. Good swim | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
from Jack Thorpe. ADRIAN MOORHOUSE: Yes, good to see | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
the Welsh doing well. Calum Jarvis, second swim for him today as well. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
the Welsh doing well. Calum Jarvis, That was a fantastic lid off from | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
him. ANDREW JAMESON: | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
him. got Richard Schafers. For Canada, | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Coleman Alan. Looks like the Scots are going very well at the moment. | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
You just have to make sure you do are going very well at the moment. | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
safe takeovers, you will definitely get through to the final. Just make | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
sure the takeovers are good. So, Scotland leading. Oh, I tell you | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
what, the Canadian takeover was really tight! One 100th of a second | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
splitting the teams. That takeover was 0.21. It is | :10:57. | :11:10. | |
interesting, we have actually got the takeover times on our computer | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
next to us. That was the quickest takeover of the whole field so far, | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
so you are right on that one. It looked a lot tighter than .21. .2 is | :11:22. | :11:34. | |
actually pretty safe. And Scotland looking like they are going to win | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
this first heat. Final leg is going to be Jak Scott. So, Jack is in for | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Scotland. Second is Canada. Third, in Lane 6, is New Zealand. And | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
closest to us are Team Wales. The Canadians are consistent on | :11:49. | :12:04. | |
takeover times, 0.20 or thereabouts. Really good takeovers. | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
takeover times, 0.20 or thereabouts. being lifted by the crowd. A full | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
body length ahead, I cannot imagine they will lose this one. The crowd | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
are going they will lose this one. The crowd | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
cheering them home! Scott looks like he will bring it home for Team | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
Scotland in this free relay. Scotland win the first heat. | :12:33. | :12:53. | |
Wales, I think they should be OK to make a final, but there is another | :12:54. | :13:07. | |
heat to come. Broke the Scottish record by more than a second. Scott, | :13:08. | :13:16. | |
the only one remaining from four years ago, from that team. | :13:17. | :13:34. | |
The top three will certainly go through. Wales will have to wait, | :13:35. | :13:43. | |
but should be OK. Just checking the records again, I think that was a | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
Welsh record. Maybe a couple of seconds. So, pretty impressive. | :13:48. | :14:01. | |
The second heat, Australia in Lane 4, England in Lane 5. South Africa | :14:02. | :14:15. | |
in Lane 2. So, the South Africans should be the favourites. They will | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
change a lot of their swimmers they should be fine as long as they do | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
decent takeovers. Australia, again, they will change a lot of their | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
swimmers. Coleman leading off for England. | :14:32. | :14:49. | |
them off, Lewis Coleman from England in lean's -- Lena four. | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
-- lead before. It should be relatively straightforward to get | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
through to this Commonwealth Games final. The medals, of course, will | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
not be so easy to get, some very big teams in Australia, England, | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
Scotland had really good swimmer and South Africa traditionally excellent | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
in the 4x100 relay team. Yes, they will be changing three of their | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
swimmers from the heats to the finals. What can they do here? | :15:21. | :15:35. | |
Sub 50? 49.5. Well, the England team, 51.254 Lewis | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Coleman. England are fifth at the | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
Coleman. they have some work to do. South | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
Africa leading, Australia currently in second position. England, | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
Northern Ireland and Singapore pretty much in line now. Australia | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
taking over, Kenneth torn leading for Australia in the centre. After | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
that final last night where the women destroyed the world record, I | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
was delighted to see that. The halfway mark in this men's 4x100 | :16:17. | :16:25. | |
relay. South Africa are second up at up there and those teams well ahead | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
of England, who have now moved into third place. Northern Ireland is in | :16:30. | :16:41. | |
fourth next to Singapore in fifth. Kenneth To having a really good swim | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
for the Australians. Ned McKendry deserves a place, meant -- maybe. I | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
wonder if they will look at that, the Aussies. One of these swimmers | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
will go through. I thought it might have been To. | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
Anyway, South Africa, Australia, head to head. The same line up as | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
the Scottish team up at the top there, the South Africans. Just | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
pulling ahead now. 100m to go, the final leg of this | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
men's 4x100 metres freestyle relay and Australia leading it pretty | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
comfortably with very much there be team -- very much the B team. Look | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
at the leggy drive of the Australian, that is impressive. | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
Coming back very hard now as James Disney-May of England has a really | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
good first 50 and overtaking the South Africans in this way the | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
water. This is a good swim from him a very good swimming indeed. Studio | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
one, England two, South Africa three. | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
South Africa have dropped now. These guys will be all right for the | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
final. Some of them are battling for their run places, having said that. | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
Australia first coming in second, James Disney-May, brilliant leg to | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
overtake the South Africans, 43.38. While, fastest split of that race, I | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
believe. It was. Really good swimming from | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
James Disney-May. That is extremely impressive, | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
especially behind, it is almost like swimming behind a pleasure boat, | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
some of the big Aussies, the waves coming off a pleasurable, some of | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
the big Aussies, the waves coming of them are huge. The swimmers getting | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
ready to come off the blocks, of course. | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
You start anticipating when the swimmers were to come in and touch. | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
Lots of practice to get that right so your feet do not leave before the | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
hand touches the wall. That is what they measure. | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
Particularly with that step forward takeover. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Absolutely, you can be rocking on your feet to get that wrong. | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
The winners are team Australia with their beating. England second, South | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
Africa third. -- with the attempting to -- with their B Team. I think | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
Northern Ireland are just in ninth. Let's just say. Qualifying for the | :19:19. | :19:30. | |
4x100 metres freestyle title, Australia are fastest, Scotland's | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
third, and we also have team Wales in there, there, as well, excellent. | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
STUDIO: Scotland, England and Wales into the final tonight, it has been | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
a good morning this morning so far, what has been your highlight? | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
Probably the men's 100, just to bounce back this morning from last | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
night's big 200 final. The guys have done a great job stepping it back up | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
and it will be an exciting race. In that far ahead, I know that | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
Fraser runs got older bit more, but that was a great performance, | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
especially on the back of last night. | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
Thank you for coming this morning, have a good time tonight, just check | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
with cloud what she is wearing, yes? That is it from this morning's | :20:24. | :20:24. | |
session, back to Michelle. That is it from this morning's | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
Thank you, we will be back with you in the swimming pool tomorrow | :20:30. | :20:30. | |
morning, we in the swimming pool tomorrow | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
in the first 36 hours of the Commonwealth Games 2014. We have had | :20:35. | :20:35. | |
a drama of a kind no one wants Commonwealth Games 2014. We have had | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
see emerge in an announcement from Commonwealth Games 2014. We have had | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
teams Wales... Team Wales this morning. The Welsh hurdler | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
teams Wales... Team Wales this Williams field under test and will | :20:48. | :20:47. | |
have no further part in the coming Williams field under test and will | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
of Games. In the last couple of minutes we have had a statement from | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
him saying it is a great shock and he has | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
him saying it is a great shock and banned substance but he knows that | :20:59. | :20:59. | |
this possibility lies with him. Ice Rhys Williams failed a drugs test. | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
this possibility lies with him. Ice This is the kind of news, Steve, | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
that no one wants to see from a competition. | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
It is devastating for the Games, I guess, for Wales and particularly | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
for Rhys Williams. It is the second Welsh athlete in the space of about | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
for Rhys Williams. It is the second 12 days, Gareth Warburton, runner | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
who would have been here 12 days, Gareth Warburton, runner | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
couple of weeks ago. I think that the tests are likely to be related. | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
The statements that they normally do, I do not normally take | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
substance, they are two fine upstanding athlete and I think most | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
people will be pretty shocked who know them to find that they have | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
failed a test. Reading between the lines, it does smack of what we have | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
failed a test. Reading between the have both been using, they are not | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
in the have both been using, they are not | :21:59. | :21:59. | |
the same area, they may well have both been using, they are not | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
been using something that what for -- | :22:04. | :22:04. | |
been using something that what for produced this positive test. This | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
expense has this works, because he was tested at a competition there in | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Glasgow on the 11th of July after running in this race. | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
Yes, we were there for the Diamond League scum test event for the | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
number of Games in Hampden Park. League scum test event for the | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
Rhys Williams in this League scum test event for the | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
position in the European position in the European | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
Championships which come after this. He has had an up and down season. He | :22:28. | :22:38. | |
knows, as does Gareth Warburton, you are 100% responsible. It doesn't | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
matter if it is a contaminated supplement or a video caught giving | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
you something, you are responsible. He understands that and they will | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
have to suffer the consequences. -- contaminated supplement or a physio | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
giving you something. I called one of our English athlete | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
and she has had six or seven tests in the last few weeks and it is part | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
of what they do. That is their responsibility. | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
He has a right to respond now, he is out of the Games whatever happens. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
The process that kicks in to place on a positive test, he is not | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
contesting the fact it is a positive test per se. There is a process to | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
go through. But he has a suspension in place and when they review the | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
whole case they will look at the situation around it, what the | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
substance is, whether he will plead mitigating circumstances and a | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
penalty will be handed down, it could be six months or three months | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
or longer. It is below 14 Wales particularly | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
because he has this position of response body. -- it is a blow for | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
Wales. Yes, there is a vice captain. He | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
would have an instead to them and then a few hours later they would | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
have found out about this. He has always been someone who are a lot of | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
other athletes have respected because of the way he conducted | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
himself. It is a remainder of the way that | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
the system works, athletes are tested at any time. He wrapped the | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Commonwealth Games we know how UK anti-doping works but different | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
countries may have different regimes. | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
Absolutely, but that is not for us to worry about. We have to be as | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
robust as we can be. The anti-doping authority take a hard line, rightly | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
so. The world added authority has responsibility to conduct tests | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
around the world. Each federation and each sport is different. What we | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
are trying to move to eventually is a scenario is that everyone, no | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
matter where you are in the world, whatever sport you are doing, you | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
are subject to the same level of testing. We are still a long way | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
from that but we have been moving towards it in the last few years. As | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
I said, at the end of the day, it can appear harsh if it is seemingly | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
accidental, but we have to have that in place. For all of those who make | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
a slight action, and it is your responsibility, there are plenty of | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
others who are deliberately trying to cheat. We have to be strong and | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
robust and the penalties, a penalty will be handed down which I hope | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
will be the right sort of penalty, but for Welsh athletics it is a | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
pretty devastating time. Not easy at all for the athlete | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
personally for the Wales team. Thank you for joining us, we will see you | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
on the athletics day, that begins on Sunday. Drama indoor swimming heats | :25:55. | :25:57. | |

Olympic champion Jason Kenny is going for gold today in the men's | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
sprint. We will see him in quarterfinal action. | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
England beat Wales in the women's hockey yesterday. The big question - | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
can the Welsh bounce back in netball at the SECC? And we will be shooting | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
over to beautiful Carnoustie for the women's ten metres app store vital | :26:46. | :26:56. | |

Glasgow 2014. Don't forget all of the coverage on BBC Radio 5 Live, as | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
well. We are starting at the wonderful Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, | :27:55. | :27:55. | |
another exciting day in prospect. Look back into the past, almost two | :27:56. | :28:10. | |
centuries, and you will find that here in Scotland, a was creating the | :28:11. | :28:13. | |
first pedal bicycle. 's -- a man. | :28:14. | :28:24. | |
It is an invention this nation grew to love. One which opened the doors | :28:25. | :28:26. | |
to live is shaped by sport. On the streets and roads, and on the | :28:27. | :28:33. | |
track. Here, no single journey, but an | :28:34. | :28:48. | |
overlap of steep boards and hard graft, and the showground for the | :28:49. | :28:50. | |
best in the world. So, this nation gives thanks to the | :28:51. | :28:58. | |
man who invented this machine of travel and sport. And, for him, we | :28:59. | :29:05. | |
can see that this summer, cycling is coming home. | :29:06. | :29:10. | |
It is very much coming home, so it is all eyes on the Sir Chris Hoy | :29:11. | :29:15. | |
Velodrome today and all eyes on Jason Kenny. He has a lot of work to | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
do, only just made the quarterfinals in the event this afternoon, so | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
let's go live to Jonathan Edwards with Sir Chris Hoy and Dame Sarah | :29:24. | :29:24. | |
Storey. Thanks very much, the likeable Scot! | :29:25. | :29:37. | |
The men's sprint for the finals we will see very shortly, as Jason | :29:38. | :29:41. | |
mentioned it was not the best qualified for Jason Kenny, wasn't | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
it? It was not. By his standards it was pretty | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
shocking, down for 11th place. He went for the repechage and he is | :29:51. | :29:52. | |
down against the fastest qualifier, Matt writes. -- Matthew Glaetzer. | :29:53. | :30:01. | |
In teams but they were much much better, and in a sense you get a lot | :30:02. | :30:05. | |
of confidence from that? Definitely, his interview after the | :30:06. | :30:08. | |
team sprint was one of, we're looking forwards, we have built up | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
from the World Championships and use this as an opportunity to race | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
against the incredible line-up and we can start afresh tomorrow morning | :30:17. | :30:18. | |
in the quarterfinals of the sprint and see where that takes us. | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
You will be up against Matthew Glaetzer of Australia, that is a | :30:24. | :30:26. | |
tough matchup. First of all, let us hear from Jason. | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
He comes from Bolton, great sprinter. | :30:32. | :30:37. | |
It is Jason Kenny! What I write! You need a lot of | :30:38. | :30:44. | |
power. You need to be very smooth. | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
Silver in Beijing, called in London. | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
Speed and tactics, as well? A bit of tactics, yes, but with the | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
best of the tactics I would much rather be in front and quicker than | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
everyone else. And Kenny has released Sir Chris | :31:02. | :31:07. | |
everyone else. Chris Hoy. The Olympic team sprint | :31:08. | :31:08. | |
champions, look at this young lad here. What a future he has ahead of | :31:09. | :31:15. | |
him. It feels like quite a long time ago now. I won in Beijing when I was | :31:16. | :31:22. | |
20 and I am 26 now. Ever since I first started cycling seriously, | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
London was on the radar because that was my main goal, I would be 24 at | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
the time and in theory at my command. | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
Kenny is the Olympic sprint champion! He wins the gold medal and | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
he won it in style! What was London like for you, you | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
got the two gold medals, what was it like afterwards? How did life | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
change? It was mental for a couple of weeks after London, but a few | :31:51. | :31:55. | |
months down the line and it is not long before you kind of slip back | :31:56. | :31:58. | |
into normal life and back into training. | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
Yes, that was it, wanted to go well at the world champion ships and we | :32:04. | :32:04. | |
managed to get gold there. at the world champion ships and we | :32:05. | :32:09. | |
Jason Kenny you is the world champion! | :32:10. | :32:10. | |
What a ride when it really mattered. That was quite nice after the Games | :32:11. | :32:15. | |
to back up that performance, so I was looking forward to the next | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
event, I never spend too long patting myself on the back. Now, I | :32:19. | :32:30. | |
suppose you are the man that people look to in terms of track-side in | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
Great Britain - how have you taken on that mantle? | :32:35. | :32:35. | |
It is not something on that mantle? | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
just focus on winning as many races as possible, which is hard enough! | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
It was hard when Chris was around, racing him, and it has not got any | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
easier. There is always somebody battling and wanting to win. We are | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
always fighting to win as many gold medals as possible. I have got World | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
Championships and Olympic told medals, but no Commonwealths. But it | :32:57. | :33:03. | |
is not going to be easy. We have got Australia and New | :33:04. | :33:03. | |
current world champions, so it is going to be a good old battle. | :33:04. | :33:12. | |
So, the question to Jason was quite interesting about that leadership | :33:13. | :33:14. | |
role, with you having retired. Do interesting about that leadership | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
you think that is something which he is just not interested in, you does | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
not feel comfortable with, does he need to be a leader? I do not think | :33:22. | :33:27. | |
it is something that you volunteer for, that you step forward and say, | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
I want to lead the team. It is purely about how he approaches his | :33:33. | :33:35. | |
racing. He just wants to focus on doing the best he can for his | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
individual events and playing his role within the team. But he will | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
become the natural leader, just because of his successor. But I do | :33:44. | :33:47. | |
not think he wants the attention, he does not like being in the | :33:48. | :33:50. | |
spotlight. He just wants to get on with winning races. It was a mixed | :33:51. | :33:56. | |
day yesterday with the team sprint team just scraping through. Let's | :33:57. | :33:57. | |
have a look at that now team just scraping through. Let's | :33:58. | :34:04. | |
Brotherton and Rob Hayles. The individual match sprinting not going | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
terribly well with the home riders so far. All five of them forced into | :34:09. | :34:17. | |
the repechage. Yes, the qualifying was dominated by Australians and New | :34:18. | :34:24. | |
Zealanders. So, it is a difficult task. I think it just shows where | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
those nations are at, compared to our boys. They lost their Mojo a | :34:28. | :34:33. | |
little bit, the English sprinters and the Home Nations, which is kind | :34:34. | :34:40. | |
of unsurprising because, off the back of the Olympics, and looking | :34:41. | :34:45. | |
forward to years, but these are the Commonwealth Games, they are on home | :34:46. | :34:46. | |
soil, so, it Commonwealth Games, they are on home | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
soil, so, would be nice to see them up there a little bit more. The | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
signs were not great the last couple of weeks in training, but they were | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
hoping to freshen up a little bit better than they have. | :34:59. | :35:16. | |
First up, a sprint of potentially the highest quality. Up against the | :35:17. | :35:27. | |
rider who broke the Games record in the 200m in qualification, and who | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
was impressive in winning his first round match up as well. Matthew | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
Glaetzer, from Australia. Rob Hayles, alongside me in the | :35:38. | :35:42. | |
commentary box. Yes, this is a tough ride for Jason Kenny. Half a second | :35:43. | :35:47. | |
was the difference between Kenny and Sabatini from convocation, which, | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
over 200m, is massive. Jason Kenny really needs to bring in tact ticks, | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
he cannot rely on sheer speed. 0.5 of a second, it is a huge | :35:59. | :36:00. | |
disadvantage. And he has tried to steal a march on | :36:01. | :36:23. | |
Matthew Glaetzer! He has tried to go early! He has still got a lot to do! | :36:24. | :36:28. | |
And Jason Kenny is going to try to lead this one out and do it the hard | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
way, do it from the front! Glaetzer is closing in, can he close the? | :36:34. | :36:40. | |
Jason Kenny will hang on! Well, Rob Hayles, you said it was about that | :36:41. | :36:44. | |
X, and he mixed up the tactics, and it worked. Well, we do not see Sir | :36:45. | :37:00. | |
Chris Hoy had sheer speed, but Jason Kenny has made the most of that. I | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
do not think he will be allowed to do that any more in this | :37:05. | :37:09. | |
competition! But he really needed to take Glaetzer unawares, and get that | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
distance, and once he did that, it was all about holding on. His coach | :37:15. | :37:21. | |
was down on the inside, giving him the thumbs up, saying, this is good, | :37:22. | :37:25. | |
but you need to keep it going. Glaetzer was desperately trying to | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
get into the slipstream and chase him down, but he just ran out of | :37:31. | :37:36. | |
track in the end. The pair of them raced against each other in a final | :37:37. | :37:42. | |
in Australia last winter, and the Australian came out on top. But | :37:43. | :37:46. | |
Jason Kenny, leading from the front from a long, long way out of. Big | :37:47. | :37:52. | |
effort, but one which paid off. It gives him a 1-0 lead in this best. | :37:53. | :38:00. | |
He has already had to come through the repechage, and that was a big | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
effort from Kenny. He will have to get on the rollers now and warm down | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
and try to get the lactic acid out of the legs. The action coming thick | :38:11. | :38:16. | |
and fast on the track. The second race is almost ready to go. Matt | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
Crampton, at 28, another rider who came through the repechage from the | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
first round, up against a Dawkins, who won the team sprint with New | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
Zealand yesterday afternoon. Already with a gold medal in his pocket. | :38:32. | :38:38. | |
Crampton, silver medallist in the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne back | :38:39. | :38:40. | |
in 2006, that was in the team sprint. Into the last eight here, in | :38:41. | :38:49. | |
the match sprint. Dawkins, second qualifier yesterday, in 9.818. 0.4 | :38:50. | :38:59. | |
of a second difference. Larrissa Miller to the previous round, I | :39:00. | :39:02. | |
think Matt Crampton will have to use all of his skills as a sprinter. -- | :39:03. | :39:10. | |
very similar to the previous round. The Kiwis have really come on strong | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
in the sprint events in the last few years. Two laps to go, and Crampton | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
is certainly experienced, the European clearing champion from | :39:23. | :39:25. | |
three years ago. He has a bronze at World Championships of as well. | :39:26. | :39:32. | |
Using the banking hopefully to best effect here. Dawkins holding that | :39:33. | :39:40. | |
inside line, halfway round the final lap. It is going to be close! But | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
Dawkins looks as though he has got the speed. And he has the legs to | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
out do Matt Crampton and take an early lead. Yes, Crampton tried to | :39:51. | :39:58. | |
use the height of the banking, but Dawkins kept him there, meaning | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
Crampton had to go around a long way. That is the hard way to do it. | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
Even with this long home straight that we have got, which does allow | :40:06. | :40:11. | |
riders to come out of that last banking and have more of a chance, | :40:12. | :40:20. | |
he was not able to do it. I am not sure that Dawkins has ever been in | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
better form than he he was breaking track records at their training | :40:25. | :40:27. | |
camps, and he has been looking blisteringly fast here. Not only | :40:28. | :40:31. | |
physically are they stronger and quicker at the moment, they also | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
have the psychological advantage. They have already become gold | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
medallists in the team sprint, and they are World Championships well. | :40:41. | :40:44. | |
Once you get the role, you get the momentum, right across the team, | :40:45. | :40:52. | |
lift everybody. And I just think the English boys are struggling little | :40:53. | :40:54. | |
bit, even with that silver medal from yesterday in the team sprint. | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
We do see time and time again, though, with the British riders, it | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
is all about the four-year Olympic cycle, isn't it? This is not an | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
unfamiliar situation for the British. No, it is a template which | :41:08. | :41:14. | |
they have used to great effect over the last two Olympic cycles. But it | :41:15. | :41:18. | |
is difficult for the public, and sometimes for us as commentators, to | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
get over the fact that they are competing here, and the expectation | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
is that every time a British rider puts on their skin suit and gets on | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
the boards, we do expect so much from them. But ultimately, it is a | :41:32. | :41:35. | |
about the Olympics, and that is how they prioritise. We have got two | :41:36. | :41:43. | |
really good riders on the track now. Sam Webster, from New Zealand, | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
recently turned 23, won the gold medal in the team sprint yesterday. | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
World champion in that event as well. It came to prominence as a | :41:52. | :41:56. | |
junior when he won four gold medals in the World Championships a couple | :41:57. | :42:02. | |
of years back. The Malaysian, the first Malaysian cyclist to ever win | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
a World Championships will, back in 2009, and that was also in the match | :42:08. | :42:16. | |
sprint. But I think he is better known as a keirin rider. He is, and | :42:17. | :42:23. | |
an electrifying one, at that. These two are not hanging about. | :42:24. | :42:37. | |
Webster has the lead! The Malaysian trying to get back on level terms. | :42:38. | :42:43. | |
Into the finishing straight, and Webster takes it. | :42:44. | :42:57. | |
This match here, very even. Peter Lewis, the Australian, on the | :42:58. | :43:05. | |
inside. Just a 10th quicker than Archibald, the Kiwi. So, it is the | :43:06. | :43:13. | |
Australian who has to take the lead on the first lap at least, unless | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
Archibald decides to take it from him. Very evenly matched, this could | :43:19. | :43:23. | |
go either way. Lewis, as a result of the illness that he had during the | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
winter, said that he had pretty much written the season off, but he | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
recovered rather more quickly than he thought. So perhaps he has been | :43:32. | :43:34. | |
preparing without any psychological pressure. Well, we do fancy athletes | :43:35. | :43:43. | |
from all sports who have come back from injury or, depending on what it | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
is, and they can actually camp back with a vengeance. Matthew | :43:48. | :43:53. | |
Archibald, with a vengeance. Matthew | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
sprint winner in the World Cup early last year, with New Zealand. Missed | :43:58. | :44:06. | |
out on the gold medal here yesterday, but has shown that he is | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
in good form. As they take the bell, one lap to go. Archibald just trying | :44:11. | :44:16. | |
to use the advantage of the banking. Being held off by Lewis. | :44:17. | :44:23. | |
And there is not going to be much between these two, as they crossed | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
the line, but by half a bike length, it is Peter Lewis. Lewis, like so | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
many of the Australian it is Peter Lewis. Lewis, like so | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
riders, bases himself in Adelaide these days, | :44:37. | :44:39. | |
riders, bases himself in Adelaide cycling. Originally from New South | :44:40. | :44:44. | |
Wales. He will begin his warm down, and they will be back on the track a | :44:45. | :44:57. | |
little later. Here we go with the quarterfinals. It is the | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
little later. Here we go with the sprint, second race, best-of-3. | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
Jason Kenny leading after the first matchup. It was an unorthodox | :45:07. | :45:12. | |
sprint, and unorthodox tactics, but it worked. I don't | :45:13. | :45:13. | |
sprint, and unorthodox tactics, but work again. Well, Kenny launched his | :45:14. | :45:15. | |
attack early on, taking work again. Well, Kenny launched his | :45:16. | :45:21. | |
unawares. And we only see those kind work again. Well, Kenny launched his | :45:22. | :45:26. | |
of tactics will be every two or three seasons. And they | :45:27. | :45:28. | |
of tactics will be every two or hanging around in this second race, | :45:29. | :45:35. | |
either. He knows he has got the speed, half a second quicker coming | :45:36. | :45:39. | |
out of qualification, so Kenny has got all the work to do. And he was | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
not going to be caught out a second time. Can Jason Kenny close the gap? | :45:44. | :45:53. | |
I think Jason Kenny has beaten him on the line! Do you know what, he | :45:54. | :45:59. | |
rode that absolutely perfectly. If he did cross the line first... We | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
will have to wait for the photo finish, but he rode at the only way | :46:05. | :46:13. | |
possible. He used the banking and the long home straight, timing it to | :46:14. | :46:19. | |
perfection. I was so expecting this to go to three rides. Here it is | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
again, and Jason Kenny has got it on the line, definitely. Well, given | :46:25. | :46:30. | |
the way he rode yesterday in the qualifying and in the first round, | :46:31. | :46:34. | |
he needed the repechage to get into this quarterfinal, he was up against | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
the fastest man in the field after the qualifying, Glaetzer, who had | :46:38. | :46:42. | |
looked imperious, but Kenny was magnificent! This is the first big | :46:43. | :47:01. | |
upset of these Commonwealth Games. That is what happens with Jason | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
Kenny, you are never quite sure what you're going to get comedy is three | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
times and Olympic champion but he was knocked out in the World | :47:10. | :47:11. | |
Championship quarterfinals this year and he was not about to get knocked | :47:12. | :47:17. | |
out in the last eight this time. That is what you call timing at to | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
perfection. I really don't think Glaetzer was expecting that. | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
I don't think we wear, to be honest! I expected this to go to three | :47:26. | :47:30. | |
rides, I really did, but Kenny timed that to absolute perfection, he | :47:31. | :47:33. | |
could not have done anything any better. | :47:34. | :47:38. | |
Squeezing home in that second ride, Jason Kenny. And as straight rides | :47:39. | :47:46. | |
when, which means he can rest is late God of it, making up for the | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
fact he had that extra ride yesterday. He is one of the writers | :47:50. | :47:57. | |
who had to his way through the repechages to get here. | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
-- one of the riders. Will we see the old Jason Kenny revitalised? Has | :48:04. | :48:07. | |
he got his Mojo back? This is certainly a good sign and he has to | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
be happy with that, but it is all about the next rider. | :48:12. | :48:18. | |
Well, the road very well taking that silver medal yesterday. | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
He did very well to get into qualification yesterday lunch time. | :48:23. | :48:25. | |
That was his first event, he really has seemed to pull it round. | :48:26. | :48:32. | |
Matt Crampton, trailing 1-0. Against Eddie Dawkins from New Zealand. | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
Dawkins, who was part of the gold-medal winning team sprint squad | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
for New Zealand yesterday. Matt Crampton come into the quarterfinals | :48:42. | :48:46. | |
through a repechage, last chance saloon for him, he has to make it | :48:47. | :48:49. | |
count. Both riders wanting to take control, | :48:50. | :48:52. | |
ultimately it is Matt Crampton who has that. He has to try and keep | :48:53. | :48:58. | |
Dawkins on his hip. He has to make him go around the long way. | :48:59. | :49:05. | |
Certainly in that first race Dawkins looked as if he just had the pure | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
burst of speed to beat Matt Crampton. Dawkins almost forced off | :49:11. | :49:16. | |
the inside of the track there, the pair of them hassling their way | :49:17. | :49:19. | |
around the back straight, but Dawkins now in all position. Matt | :49:20. | :49:26. | |
Crampton is going to be beaten here by Eddie Dawkins of New Zealand who | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
is safely through to the semifinals. Well, I'd smarter than | :49:30. | :49:36. | |
outmanoeuvred, he wanted to keep tag line. -- outsmarted. He knew it was | :49:37. | :49:44. | |
going to be so hard for him to keep in front, but that was a gutsy move | :49:45. | :49:51. | |
by the New Zealander. But it paid off. | :49:52. | :49:53. | |
You have to have nerves of steel sometimes in the match sprint. That | :49:54. | :49:59. | |
is why we love to watch it. Here you can just see Matt | :50:00. | :50:02. | |
Crampton, he went up above the red line, and as he went there he gave | :50:03. | :50:06. | |
priority to the New Zealander, and once he got under Matt Crampton, he | :50:07. | :50:10. | |
nearly squeezed Dawkins off the track momentarily. | :50:11. | :50:15. | |
Well, the English rider there could not only lose that road but also get | :50:16. | :50:19. | |
a bit of warning, I feel sure, if he had held onto that line and taken | :50:20. | :50:22. | |
the wind. He would have been relegated for that man over. | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
It just got a little bit hairy for a moment out there, but Dawkins was | :50:28. | :50:34. | |
not about to be intimidated, here is that incident once again. But, on | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
the day, he was the better of the two men and safely through to the | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
semifinals in straight rides. That certainly went to form, that | :50:44. | :50:46. | |
result, after qualification. The next pairing are up onto the | :50:47. | :50:57. | |
track and almost ready to go. The commissaires just looking at that | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
incident, but as it happens it is irrelevant, anyway. | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
Yes, had no effect on the result anyway, but had Matt Crampton been | :51:06. | :51:08. | |
able to hold on there would have been a relegation, I am fairly sure | :51:09. | :51:18. | |
of that. Mohd Azizulhasni Awang in the yellow against Sam Webster from | :51:19. | :51:19. | |
New Zealand. Awang, who won Commonwealth bronze | :51:20. | :51:36. | |
medal for years ago, he thought he had won the keirin, as well, but he | :51:37. | :51:39. | |
was relegated for being overly aggressive in the final. | :51:40. | :51:45. | |
In my book, he had won the keirin. He crossed the line first, fantastic | :51:46. | :51:50. | |
ride, a massive spectacle for the crowd. He was judged to have nudged | :51:51. | :51:53. | |
one of his opponents during the race. | :51:54. | :51:56. | |
Well, rules are rules. It is that kind of racing the keirin, isn't | :51:57. | :52:00. | |
it? Well, that is what it is all about. | :52:01. | :52:04. | |
A great race to watch, whatever the result. | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
This one is much more a game of cat and mouse between the pair of them. | :52:09. | :52:14. | |
Here we see most riders doing the tracks stand, we don't not see this | :52:15. | :52:21. | |
very often. -- both riders. The crowd enjoying this one, if it lasts | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
40 odd minutes, which it used to do, they will get a slow clap. The crowd | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
love to see it, as long as it doesn't go on for too long. | :52:32. | :52:38. | |
Adding to the attention of the ride between these two. A reminder, | :52:39. | :52:43. | |
Webster bleeding after the first race come if he wins this one he | :52:44. | :52:48. | |
will be through to the semifinals. Awang, the rider in front at the | :52:49. | :52:52. | |
moment, has to win this race. What's Awang was trying to | :52:53. | :52:54. | |
moment, has to win this race. get the New Zealander to take up the | :52:55. | :53:01. | |
front. There was no way the New Zealander was going to take that | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
control. Look at Webster, buzzing Awang, | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
flitting around at the top of the banking. Awang needing eyes on the | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
back of this head here and he will need a little bit of a turbocharger | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
in his legs to try and keep pace with the Kiwi, but he is giving it | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
everything he has got. Awang on the inside, it is going to be really | :53:22. | :53:23. | |
close between inside, it is going to be really | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
touching as they come up towards the line and just at the end of Sam | :53:28. | :53:30. | |
Webster making it. That was a tremendous race between the pair of | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
them and Webster was pushed all the way. | :53:34. | :53:43. | |
Peter Lewis. He is against Matthew Archbold. | :53:44. | :54:10. | |
Nervous times for both of these writers now. -- riders. Just as you | :54:11. | :54:21. | |
lead off it is all about the nerves. Just trying to fit with your | :54:22. | :54:28. | |
opponent. Keeping an eye on both riders, we have seen Jason Kenny | :54:29. | :54:32. | |
training on the Manchester Velodrome doing lap after lap up on his own, | :54:33. | :54:39. | |
but not looking forward at all, just keeping his head looking backwards. | :54:40. | :54:43. | |
This is the thing, you cannot afford to take your eye off your opponent, | :54:44. | :54:47. | |
even if they are riding behind you. You have to keep your eye on them, | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
make sure they do not make that move. | :54:51. | :54:54. | |
I know, as welcome in the women's sprinting, Anna Meares has been | :54:55. | :54:59. | |
studying NFL players and how they react and anticipate the moves being | :55:00. | :55:03. | |
made by their opponents. She has been studying footage of that to see | :55:04. | :55:07. | |
she can pick up anything from that. If you can anticipate what the | :55:08. | :55:08. | |
opponent is going to do, that If you can anticipate what the | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
really beneficial. Hopefully she does not use all of the tactics from | :55:12. | :55:13. | |
NFL in her sprinting! does not use all of the tactics from | :55:14. | :55:19. | |
commissaires were sold to -- will certainly come down on her like a | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
stack of bricks. If he wins this race he will be | :55:25. | :55:26. | |
considered -- he will be through to If he wins this race he will be | :55:27. | :55:29. | |
complete the semifinal line-up. If he wins this race he will be | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
Archibald has to find a way past his opponent here as they go down the | :55:34. | :55:36. | |
back straight and at the moment it looks as if Peter Lewis has the | :55:37. | :55:39. | |
speed to hold him off. Up towards the line it is going to be close, | :55:40. | :55:44. | |
speed to hold him off. Up towards Archibald's point of view. | :55:45. | :55:45. | |
speed to hold him off. Up towards Lewis from Australia is through. It | :55:46. | :55:47. | |
speed to hold him off. Up towards is Jason Kenny, Eddie Dawkins, Sam | :55:48. | :55:50. | |
Webster and Peter Lewis from Australia. | :55:51. | :55:59. | |
STUDIO: Just to confirm the semifinal line-ups that will be from | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
4pm here. Jason Kenny against Peter Lewis and | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
the New Zealand battle in the other one, Eddie Dawkins against Sam | :56:09. | :56:12. | |
Webster. I great performance from Jason Kenny, and, Chris, what a | :56:13. | :56:15. | |
difference a day makes. Jason is a racer, and I think he is | :56:16. | :56:20. | |
really starting to get into his stride now. I fancy he will make it | :56:21. | :56:24. | |
in the final. He is just getting into his group now. Obviously his | :56:25. | :56:29. | |
qualifying was not great but he is the Olympic champion, everyone | :56:30. | :56:31. | |
getting on the track to race him knows that and he has that certain | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
aura about him. That first date was really | :56:36. | :56:38. | |
fascinating because he took it out on along run. Was that what he had | :56:39. | :56:44. | |
to? Kent three was half a second faster in qualifying. | :56:45. | :56:46. | |
It was not his only option, but it was his best option. He has very | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
good acceleration and he knew he could catch him unawares. Once the | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
gap is that size you are not getting any benefit with the slipstream and | :56:55. | :56:57. | |
it is a horrible place to be, I have been there a couple of times myself | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
in a World Championship. Foster did that to me in a World Championships | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
in 2010, three full laps, it is not much fun if you are chasing. | :57:07. | :57:11. | |
I guess, Sarah, because he was a much slower jihad to do something a | :57:12. | :57:14. | |
little bit different. He had to try and catch his opponent | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
unawares, get himself back into the front foot. He was Olympic champion | :57:19. | :57:21. | |
and he was on the back foot from qualification. By quality is so much | :57:22. | :57:26. | |
a part of the Sprint matches, you have do psychologically be on the | :57:27. | :57:31. | |
best form, as well as physically. 1-0 to Jason, this was what happened | :57:32. | :57:35. | |
in the second heat. We all fancied Glaetzer to take it to three. Jason | :57:36. | :57:39. | |
was very canny. I think it rattled him. He was maybe | :57:40. | :57:45. | |
thinking ahead thinking, I will still get through, 2-1, but it that | :57:46. | :57:50. | |
is an extra ride on my legs. As soon as you start thinking beyond the | :57:51. | :57:53. | |
quarterfinals it can be a mistake and Jason just caught him. | :57:54. | :57:57. | |
Rob Hayles was saying and commentary he has his model back, would you | :57:58. | :58:04. | |
agree? -- in the commentary, that he has his model back. | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
Absolutely. The more pressurised the environment from the better the | :58:10. | :58:11. | |
performance. When he hopefully gets to the final, we have the semifinals | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
first... That small matter of beating the | :58:16. | :58:18. | |
Aussie, who looked very good, Peter Lewis, who disposed of Archibald in | :58:19. | :58:24. | |
two straight rides, you would not want to put money on anyone winning | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
at this stage, it will be so close. The semifinals at 4pm, Jason, back | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
to you. Jonathan, thank you very much | :58:34. | :58:37. | |
indeed, a beautiful day here in Glasgow and the sport continues... | :58:38. | :58:40. | |
