Commonwealth. There was another gold medal in the judo for Scotland and | :04:06. | :04:18. | |
it came for Sarah Clark. Rhys Williams has been ruled out of the | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
games for an alleged doping offence. He has been charged with committing | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
an anti-dumping violation following a test at the Grand Prix two weeks | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
ago. -- still paying. He says he is devastated. -- anti-doping. We will | :04:38. | :04:49. | |
have more reaction on that story later. We have two channels | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
dedicated to our coverage. On the red button, we have net all and lawn | :04:58. | :05:04. | |

what you have missed on the iPlayer. Now, we are going to the swimming | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
centre for the finals tonight. Tears fell and records tumbled yesterday | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
and it could be just as emotional tonight. Thank you and welcome back. | :05:45. | :06:08. | |
Rebecca Adlington, looking bright. Let us look at the medals table. It | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
is a very good site for Scotland. Australia are in front, but Scotland | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
with two gold medals yesterday, courtesy of Hannah Smiley -- Hannah | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
Miley and Ross Murdoch, it is looking good. Australia are in | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
front. England have three silver medals and two bronze medals. | :06:35. | :06:46. | |
England could get a gold medal here. Benjamin Proud could win here. The | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
thing with this is, it is 23 seconds. When you think about | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
someone breathing in the butterfly, you can break your rhythm, it he | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
will try and keep the rhythm. It is a hard skill. He goes like a | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
propeller. I would love him to win. Chad le Clos can turn it on at the | :07:19. | :07:29. | |
right time. This is not his best. Watching the semifinal yesterday... | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
Sprinters play a little bit and try and put people off. He has something | :07:34. | :07:51. | |
in reserve. What about this guy? The pin-up star of the Scottish team. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
Ross Murdoch, having won the 200 meter butterfly yesterday and he is | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
in the semifinal. He is against Michael Jamieson again. You feel | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
sorry for him. The 200m is so difficult. It is interesting. | :08:14. | :08:25. | |
Michael's event is the 100 metres. This is his chance to have fun. The | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
pressure was not on Ross Murdoch last night and he managed to do | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
well. You might see that with Michael tonight. The reaction of | :08:35. | :08:48. | |
Ross Murdoch was amazing. Here we go and the swimmers coming out, there | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
is Adam Barrett from England. It is a good line-up. There are good | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
swimmers from South Africa and Australia. There is Benjamin Proud. | :09:02. | :09:15. | |
He is the fastest qualifier for this final. Chad le Clos coming out, he | :09:16. | :09:25. | |
is the third fastest. Benjamin Proud was the fastest qualifier. He has a | :09:26. | :09:53. | |
massive reputation. There is Joseph Isaac Schooling. He is looking to | :09:54. | :10:11. | |
break 23 seconds. England still have not won a gold medal here. It is | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
still only the second day. A great opportunity here. The British | :10:18. | :10:36. | |
record-holder is going in Lane 4. The final of the 50 metres butterfly | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
and it's back -- expect fireworks. A The final of the 50 metres butterfly | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
good start for Benjamin Proud. He keeps his head down. Roland Schoeman | :10:47. | :11:04. | |
going well. He has got the touch. A fantastic swim, first gold medal to | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
England and it has come to Benjamin Proud. I knew British record. -- a | :11:09. | :11:21. | |
new British record. Fully deserved, he took on Roland Schoeman. He held | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
his breath. He saw Roland Schoeman take a breath with 12 metres to go. | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Look at that beautiful technique. He got the edge by half a stroke, that | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
was a fantastic result stop a fantastic British record. | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
Well-deserved -- a fantastic result. A fantastic British record. | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
The first English gold medal for Benjamin Proud. Roland Schoeman gets | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
the silver medal and Chad le Clos gets the bronze medal. It was so | :12:07. | :12:16. | |
tough for him, he knew what he had to do. The focus was fantastic. I | :12:17. | :12:30. | |
think that was a classy swim, he has a beautiful future I heard of him. | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
-- ahead of him. He is talking to our reporter. Maybe, it looks like | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
we are going to record that, there is another final, the women's 50 | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
metres breaststroke. Three Scottish winners in this. One English | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
weather. Sophie Taylor, the new British record-holder. We will see | :13:04. | :13:13. | |
how she does. We talk about the impact of someone from your country | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
winning a gold medal, winning a really exciting race and whether you | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
watch it, use it or stay in your own little bubble. Or Sophie Taylor, a | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
British record in the heats, a bit slow in the semi-finals, for Sophie | :13:29. | :13:52. | |
Taylor. There is Andrea Strachan. She is in line eight. Kathryn | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
Johnston goes in Lane 7 will stop -- she goes in Lane 7. There is Cory | :14:01. | :14:19. | |
Scott. She set a new Scottish record -- Corrie Scott. There is the | :14:20. | :14:42. | |
Australian. There is the Canadian going in Lane 3. There is Sophie | :14:43. | :15:29. | |
Taylor. There is Lorna Tonks. There is Atkinson. There is the defending | :15:30. | :15:39. | |
champion, Leiston Pickett, second fastest qualifier for this final. 50 | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
metres breast rock final at the Commonwealth Games. The Fastest | :15:48. | :16:08. | |
Qualifier Is In The Centre, the black cap of Atkinson of Jamaica. | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
Corrie Scott is coming back very well. Pickett has the touch. | :16:19. | :16:30. | |
Commonwealth champion of women's 50 metres breaststroke, Pickett of | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
Australia. The silver to the Jamaican and a bronze medal to | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
Corrie Scott of Scotland. Can you believe Scotland are just having a | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
wonderful meet? Fantastic swim from Corrie Scott. Really didn't do | :16:47. | :16:55. | |
anything in the heats and the semifinals, just put herself in the | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
position to be on the shoulder of Atkinson. Sometimes in the 50 metres | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
breaststroke you can leave your case behind if you brush. You do not need | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
to brush at this stage. It is all about application of power, the 50 | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
metres breast. She has word in Delhi and she has word again here, Leiston | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
Pickett. Atkinson silver. A wonderful bronze the Corrie Scott. | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
Just a tad disappointed for Atkinson in the way. She had been talking | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
about the 200 breaststroke before this, so I would have been surprised | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
if the 50 was the one she pulled the gold medal on. Sophie Taylor of | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
England came forth but the time she did in her heat would have won heard | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
the gold. Most Macs or something she needs to go away and think about. | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
She gave herself a decent opportunity, swam in a Championship. | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
Our interviewer is with Corrie Scott from Scotland. World done to you, | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
young lady. It is so easy sometimes with the 50 metres, particularly in | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
breaststroke, to snatch the water? Yes. I recalled last season with | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
snatching the water so I have been working so hard a bit and I just | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
cannot believe it! Do you think this is the euphoria, last night, the | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
crowd, do you think it is all lifting the team? Yes, and I said | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
all along the crowd would make the difference between a fourth place | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
and a bronze. Enjoy your time on the podium. Massive reaction here to the | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
bronze medal that. And Corrie Scott said new record in the heats this | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
morning. Let's reflect on Proud's performance. | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
morning. Let's reflect on Proud's Then, congratulations. Sub-23 | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
seconds as well. British record. I do not know what to say. I was just | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
trying to make it seem like it was a normal race and not the Commonwealth | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
final. You are the Commonwealth champion at just 19 years of age. A | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
meteoric rise in the last couple of years. I am beyond excited. What was | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
the last thing your coat said to you before you went down for the 50? See | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
you on the other side? You can't remember. Well done. | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
And, in fact, his medal ceremony will be right now. Then Proud, 19 | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
years old. His coach said about sprint swimming, it is a real | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
hotbed, a challenging environment before you race because it is so | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
highly testosterone charged. You were a 50 metres butterfly swimmer. | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
Ben proud took your record. Smashed it. You do not normally see people | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
get faster on sprinting until the age of 24 or 25. You start getting | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
under the bit stronger in your early to mid 20s. If you look at Stephen, | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
still swimming best times at 34. He still has that to come. -- if you | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
look at Schoeman. With the first few strokes, and you saw it there with | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
the women's brush strip with Sophie Taylor, just take it a bit easy. -- | :20:46. | :20:55. | |
the women's breaststroke. He just did his own race. It was not in a | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Commonwealth final. Could have been an Olympic final. He just did his | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
own thing. That is what happens when you get it right. He smashed my | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
record but I am so happy for him. It had to happen. You should be very | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
proud it has lasted this long. Let's hand you over to Andy and Adrian for | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
the medals ceremony. This is the first gold medal in the pool in | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
England. Thank you, Claire. And there is the | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
bronze medal going to chat le Clos of South Africa. Beating the great | :21:28. | :21:38. | |
Michael Phelps in London 2012. He is a great character. I love the way he | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
wears his goggles around his neck. Do you think he thinks somebody is | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
going to Nixon? -- going to steal them? Second South African on the | :21:52. | :22:01. | |
podium and it is the great Roland Schoeman of South Africa, 34 years | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
of age. Such a great professional. He looks after himself so well in | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
every aspect of his sport. Physical training, nutrition, every aspect, | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
and at 34 he has now won a Commonwealth medal in the last four | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
Games. The first South African to represent his country in five | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
Commonwealth Games. This is a hugely important moment for Team England. | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
They have finally won their first gold. On date two, it is good. | :22:40. | :22:49. | |
Representing England, Benjamin Proud! And Proud wins gold in | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
England in the swimming pool. It is a new Commonwealth Games record, a | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
new British record. First-time sub-23 seconds, but he will not care | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
about that. He will care about the gold medal around his neck. | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
Commonwealth champion, 50 metres butterfly. When he looks at the | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
replay of this medals ceremony, I hope he checks out who's hands he | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
just shook in the silver and bronze position. Ladies and gentlemen, the | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
national anthem that England. -- of England. | :23:28. | :23:43. | |
so England's Ben proud has become their first medallist in this | :23:44. | :25:03. | |
discipline since 2002, the first time this race was staged. What a | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
sandwich that is, as well. When he looks back at that picture, that is | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
one hell of a series of scalps to take. STUDIO: And he looks right in | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
the centre of that picture, and he still has more physical growing to | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
do and the first -- and a certain amount of mental growing to do. Chat | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
le Clos, the first of six events for him in which he is hoping to win a | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
medal. But Ben proud, great race, great coping with the situation. | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
Because it is not easy. This is a really big occasion. He just got | :25:48. | :25:57. | |
everything right. When he had his tracksuit pants on at the beginning, | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
he was in the zone. He knew if he had a good swim, that was it, but he | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
still had to get it right. Do you think he will muscle up even more? | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
People get stronger but the thing with swimming is to stay small, so | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
you're more streamlined through the water. And given that Schoeman is | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
34, you are looking at another 15 years. Yes. He has got a lot more to | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
come. I rather ignorantly yesterday did not know what the very special | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
thing was that they were being given, and this is it. I have one. | :26:32. | :26:46. | |
It is a quich, a friendship cup. They go back to the 16th century and | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
are made out of album timber, from trees that have been felled in | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
Glasgow. Or trees that have fallen down. I apologise for not having | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
known that yesterday. They all get one. These are the moments you hang | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
onto and the moments but keep going. Yes, and what I loved about then | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
there was the shook the other guy's hand before he got his own medal | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
given to him. Most people go to the competitors after it they have | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
received their medals, and that shows such maturity. And they are | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
the people who would have given so much. Family is so important in | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
swimming. Because you have to get up so early for training and you start | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
so young, your parents are the ones getting up at the crack of dawn to | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
take you to the pool and then sit at the side, which is never very | :27:40. | :27:46. | |
glamorous! They are your whole support system. They are not just | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
your taxi driver, but your nutritionist, your taxi driver, | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
everything. They give you everything. It is important for the | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
British athletes to have a lot of their family and friends here. We | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
are very excited to see how then proud develops after this. His coach | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
said last year he is the most exciting young talent. And le Clos | :28:12. | :28:25. | |
there has arguably... He is probably in the top three best swimmers in | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
the world. I know it is not his event, but to be in that company, | :28:30. | :28:37. | |
when Schoeman has done it for about ten years, it is amazing. The other | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
races coming up. The finals come thick and fast here in the pool. At | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
7:54pm, the women's freestyle 50 metres semifinals. Fran Halsall is | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
trying to make the final of that one of the five events she hopes to win | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
a medal in. Already got one in the relay last night. Then the men's 100 | :28:57. | :29:03. | |
metres breaststroke semifinals, featuring the new Commonwealth | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
champion over 200 metres, Ross Murdoch, against Michael Jamieson | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
and Cameron Vandenberg of South Africa. Emily C bomb won a silver at | :29:12. | :29:20. | |
the Olympics. Georgia Davies is the Welsh record-holder. The men's 400 | :29:21. | :29:30. | |
metres individual member -- medley is really some race. Wallace set a | :29:31. | :29:34. | |
British record when he qualified fastest this morning. Pavoni of | :29:35. | :29:44. | |
Scotland. Stephanie Slater is also in the women's para-sport 100 metres | :29:45. | :29:50. | |
freestyle, representing England. Liam Tancock is the double defending | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
champion. Chris Walker-Hebborn of England, who set a personal best in | :29:56. | :30:03. | |
the heat. Alicia Coutts is the Olympic silver medallist, swimming | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
in the women's 100 metres butterfly final. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor is the | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
18-year-old from England who qualified fastest. Most likely | :30:13. | :30:24. | |
Australia will beat everyone else in the men's 4-by-100-metres final. Is | :30:25. | :30:39. | |
that fair? Yes. He stepped up this morning and thought he would go for | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
it. He got the British record, I want to see what more he has got. | :30:46. | :30:54. | |
Robbie Radek is in for Scotland and James Guy from England -- Robbie | :30:55. | :31:07. | |
Renwick. Matthew Stanley from New Zealand. A massive roar for the | :31:08. | :31:21. | |
defending champion, Robbie Renwick. He swam well, better than he thought | :31:22. | :31:36. | |
he would. He could win this final. The Australians, we will see them | :31:37. | :31:43. | |
soon. They are tough characters. There is Calum Jarvis. Thomas Fraser | :31:44. | :32:02. | |
Holmes. There is Cameron McAvoy. -- Cameron McEvoy. | :32:03. | :32:21. | |
The crowd will be looking for Robbie Renwick to repeat his Delhi | :32:22. | :32:27. | |
victory. The Australians are phenomenal. Thomas Fraser-Holmes has | :32:28. | :32:35. | |
another eight later on. If Robbie Renwick can get a medal here, it | :32:36. | :32:54. | |
would be brilliant. A very good start to the Australians. Cameron | :32:55. | :33:02. | |
McEvoy in Lane 4. A lovely start. Breathing to his left hand side, | :33:03. | :33:05. | |
going out quickly. Thomas Fraser-Holmes is trying to go with | :33:06. | :33:14. | |
them -- with him. David McKeon is at the top, slightly disappointed with | :33:15. | :33:21. | |
his silver medal in the freestyle. It will take something special to | :33:22. | :33:27. | |
beat the Australians. If you take Thomas Fraser-Holmes out of that | :33:28. | :33:33. | |
picture, he is 75 metres from Cameron McEvoy. This is really fast. | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
Cameron McEvoy is swimming really well. 50.54. A number Labour will | :33:39. | :33:55. | |
record. -- and unbelievable record. There is only one person with him on | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
that pays and that is Thomas Fraser-Holmes. Can Cameron McEvoy | :34:00. | :34:10. | |
hold this ayes -- pays. He is catching up and stop it looks like | :34:11. | :34:17. | |
Thomas Fraser-Holmes is coming back. -- he is catching up. It looks like | :34:18. | :34:22. | |
Thomas Fraser-Holmes is coming back. It looks like Cameron McEvoy is | :34:23. | :34:29. | |
holding on. Australia are about one, two, three. Calum Jarvis may get | :34:30. | :34:38. | |
it. The gold medal goal is to Thomas Fraser-Holmes, the silver medal has | :34:39. | :34:40. | |
gone to Cameron McEvoy and the bronze medal has gone to Calum | :34:41. | :34:46. | |
Jarvis. A brilliant swim from him, what a brilliant swim from him! The | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
big surprise, Calum Jarvis gets the bronze medal. A brilliant Welsh | :34:52. | :35:03. | |
record. Fantastic. Thomas Fraser-Holmes... He let Cameron | :35:04. | :35:10. | |
McEvoy set the pace. Really excited, went out and then Thomas | :35:11. | :35:14. | |
Fraser-Holmes reeled him in. A quarter of a second behind. I would | :35:15. | :35:26. | |
not say that was comfortable. I think he got the beating of Cameron | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
McEvoy men. Such a shame we cannot see Calum Jarvis get that bronze | :35:32. | :35:38. | |
medal -- then. David MacDonald Lee has done a good job with him. -- | :35:39. | :35:54. | |
McNulty. A massive Welsh record. The first ever medal in the 200 meter | :35:55. | :36:02. | |
freestyle for Wales. What a swim! We thought it would take something | :36:03. | :36:17. | |
special to split the Australians. It is wonderful. World-class swimming. | :36:18. | :36:30. | |
Cameron McEvoy went out so quickly. He will face Daniel Wallace in his | :36:31. | :36:42. | |
next swim. Delighted to tell you that we are talking to Calum Jarvis. | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
It gives me great pleasure to say well done and a Welsh medal, | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
fantastic. It was a good performance, I think it is the first | :36:53. | :36:57. | |
Welsh medal. You looked very serious this morning. You were very focused | :36:58. | :37:04. | |
this morning and you looked good. I was not too sure. It was my first | :37:05. | :37:14. | |
swim. This morning really show that. You must have got faith, it was a | :37:15. | :37:19. | |
strong swim. It gave me a lot of confidence. A great record. How tall | :37:20. | :37:37. | |
are you? I am six. -- is six foot four. Amazing shoulders. A brilliant | :37:38. | :37:50. | |
swim. We have had a gold medal for England, are bronze medal for | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
Scotland and a bronze medal for Wales. Hopefully more to come. We | :37:55. | :38:01. | |
are going to take a break from the swimming to show you some boxing. | :38:02. | :38:08. | |
Andrew Selby was fighting, he is the world number one and he was in | :38:09. | :38:37. | |
action against Rhys McFadden. The young man wearing blue operating out | :38:38. | :38:44. | |
of the orthodox stance. Andrew Selby from Wales, the world number one, he | :38:45. | :38:55. | |
is taking on Rhys McFadden. He is not overawed by the occasion -- 150 | :38:56. | :39:12. | |
-- Reece McFadden. Andrew Selby is adept at switching his stance. | :39:13. | :39:24. | |
Hugely talented. Sean Duffy is encouraged and inspired by the | :39:25. | :39:34. | |
crowd. -- Reece McFadden. He is confident. I was watching him walk | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
into his corner. He looked very confident. That is the only way to | :39:39. | :39:44. | |
approach a contest like this. You have nothing to lose and everything | :39:45. | :40:02. | |
to gain. Just approaching the halfway stage. Andrew Selby is on | :40:03. | :40:10. | |
the front foot. Reece McFadden gets a huge round of applause. Andrew | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
Selby Minn taming his poise, continuing to switch his feet. | :40:16. | :40:31. | |
Andrew Selby can box equally as good as an orthodox southpaw. He is | :40:32. | :40:44. | |
skilful and talented. Reece McFadden just falling short. Andrew Selby | :40:45. | :40:50. | |
backed off and remained out of punching distance. He backed him | :40:51. | :40:56. | |
into a corner, that is not where he wanted to be. A beautiful counter | :40:57. | :41:06. | |
right hand. Reece McFadden boxing very well. This is a great display. | :41:07. | :41:18. | |
He is only 19, very inexperienced, but he is boxing clever on the back | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
foot, he is making Andrew Selby lead and coming back in with fast | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
counters. How long can he keep -- can he keep it going? Currently and | :41:29. | :41:38. | |
all southpaw contest. We will have to watch what Andrew Selby does. | :41:39. | :41:44. | |
Reece McFadden continuing to take it to the world number one. At the end | :41:45. | :41:51. | |
of the round, as the bell sounds, he has acquitted himself very well. | :41:52. | :41:59. | |
There is plenty more boxing still to come in this flyweight battle. His | :42:00. | :42:17. | |
man was put under pressure. Reece McFadden boxing very well on the | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
back foot and then coming forward with those attacks. He has been | :42:23. | :42:25. | |
quite patient. He should have got that first round. Indeed he has, in | :42:26. | :42:32. | |
unanimous fashion against the world number one. Brilliant starred by the | :42:33. | :42:42. | |
Scottish teenager. Plenty to think about for the man in blue -- start. | :42:43. | :42:52. | |
We move into the second round, Andrew Selby in blue is the reigning | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
two time European Championship gold medallist. He retained that title in | :42:58. | :43:07. | |
Belarus last year. Undisputed world number one in his weight. Reece | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
McFadden, the reigning Scottish champion and a European Championship | :43:13. | :43:20. | |
Junior bronze medallist from 2011, showing no fear of the reputation of | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
the man in front of them and he is boxing well, well enough to take the | :43:25. | :43:31. | |
opening round in unanimous fashion. Andrew Selby started to go through | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
the gears, Reece McFadden has to get off the ropes. He has been | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
comfortable, but I think he is starting to work well to the body. A | :43:41. | :43:46. | |
good shot from Andrew Selby. Can Reece McFadden goal -- go with | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
Andrew Selby when he raises the tempo? That was that mid-range. That | :43:52. | :44:03. | |
was great boxing from Andrew Selby the way he punched and went back and | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
bunched on the back foot. Reece McFadden is coming back. Both boxers | :44:08. | :44:14. | |
looking at the referee. Furtive glances. He is continuing to skim | :44:15. | :44:23. | |
around the perimeter. I good left hook from Reece McFadden. -- a good | :44:24. | :44:32. | |
left hook. A bit of showboating. The crowd do not like it. Reece McFadden | :44:33. | :44:41. | |
switching the tables effectively and putting Andrew Selby in a corner. He | :44:42. | :44:50. | |
could not capitalise. Good left hook from Andrew Selby, right-hand | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
response from Reece McFadden. Another right-hand out of the | :44:55. | :45:01. | |
orthodox stance. Reece McFadden continuing to work away, really | :45:02. | :45:09. | |
acquitted himself well. He took the senior title earlier this year. He | :45:10. | :45:24. | |
is only 19 years of age. The crowd here really engaged and confused by | :45:25. | :45:44. | |
what are seeing. -- ends used. -- enthusiastic. What an exchange to | :45:45. | :45:55. | |
end around. And McFadden is confident. The world number one | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
could well find himself two rounds down here. Another hugely | :46:02. | :46:05. | |
competitive round. McFadden took the opening round in unanimous fashion. | :46:06. | :46:13. | |
Jones reading instructions and quite possibly the riot act to Andrew | :46:14. | :46:18. | |
Selby. Here we see Selby on the attack but his guard is low and | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
McFadden is always coming back at him at the end of the exchanges. | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
Selby throwing some lovely shots but McFadden himself coming forward, | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
gets caught with a shot there. That was that little bit of showboating | :46:33. | :46:39. | |
from Selby. Yes, they have gone with Selby. So it is all square, ?1 | :46:40. | :46:46. | |
apiece. McFadden took the first round, Selby the second. Everything | :46:47. | :46:50. | |
to box for in this third and final round. The boxer wearing blue is | :46:51. | :46:58. | |
currently operating out of the orthodox stance, Andrew Selby, the | :46:59. | :47:06. | |
reigning two-time European Championship gold medallist. And | :47:07. | :47:12. | |
McFadden is the Scottish senior Championship. | :47:13. | :47:25. | |
Selby just rating the tempo now but McFadden, a clever display from this | :47:26. | :47:30. | |
young man on the back foot. He is really making Selby works of | :47:31. | :47:39. | |
this. -- work for this. The mouthpiece of Selby almost been | :47:40. | :48:10. | |
dislodged for the second time. That is a bit surprising. Surprised he's | :48:11. | :48:16. | |
breathing through his mouth. Exhaling there as he is throwing the | :48:17. | :48:22. | |
shot. The mouthpiece should not be dislodged. | :48:23. | :48:36. | |
I don't know what the problem is there with that mouth guard? Hugely | :48:37. | :48:46. | |
experienced man, is Andrew Selby, but he's having considerable and | :48:47. | :48:49. | |
consistent problems with his mouth guard, and that is a warning. Now, | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
that is absolutely calamitous from Andrew Selby's point of view. | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
Significant in the context of this bout because he will surely have to | :49:00. | :49:08. | |
change tactics now. We are tied, one round of peace, Kerry into this | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
third and final round and the referee issued a public warning | :49:14. | :49:15. | |
against world number one Andrew Selby. He will have to produce a | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
dominant display just to get back on terms. Lets not forget Wales have | :49:21. | :49:28. | |
already lost Fred Evans who was favourite for the gold in the | :49:29. | :49:32. | |
welterweight division. A terrible situation for Wales now. I think | :49:33. | :49:36. | |
Selby has the go for a stoppage. Less than a minute in which to | :49:37. | :49:38. | |
produce it. He has kicked the mouthpiece out of | :49:39. | :49:53. | |
the ring in frustration. That was the fourth time. The person in | :49:54. | :50:04. | |
charge of the Welsh delegation both be as perplexed as Selby and self. A | :50:05. | :50:10. | |
hugely experienced team, a hugely experienced boxer. He is | :50:11. | :50:19. | |
experiencing continued difficulty. He now has a proverbial mountain to | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
climb. But is it the Selby unless he gets the stoppage here. -- that is | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
it for Selby. And we have just witnessed a | :50:28. | :50:44. | |
stunning upset here at the SEC see, because surely that man he is taking | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
about in acknowledgement of the rapturous round of applause that he | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
is receiving, has just eliminated the world number one, Andrew Selby | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
excavation Mark Andrew Selby was issued a warning from the referee | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
for continually having his mouthpiece dislodged. The mouthpiece | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
came out four times. Two warnings issued against Selby during the | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
course of the third and final round, and the world number one staring on | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
in disbelief across the boxing ring at the man who has surely proved to | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
be his conqueror. Reece McFadden has just produced a stunning upset, | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
although we have to wait for official confirmation. I have never | :51:24. | :51:27. | |
seen anything like it with the gum shield at this level of boxing. | :51:28. | :51:33. | |
Obviously a problem there. But it has cost in this contest. Let's not | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
take nothing away from McFadden's performance. He boxed the right | :51:38. | :51:39. | |
tactics. Ladies and gentlemen, we have the | :51:40. | :51:53. | |
judges' scorecards, all three judges in agreement. The winner by | :51:54. | :51:56. | |
unanimous decision and true to the next round, in the red corner... | :51:57. | :52:09. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. We have just witnessed my new mental upset, | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
because the teenager wearing red, the home boxer, Reece McFadden, from | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
Motherwell, takes about in acknowledgement of the applause he | :52:20. | :52:25. | |
is receiving, because exiting stage left is Andrew Selby, the world | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
number one has just been eliminated by a unanimous points decision, by | :52:31. | :52:34. | |
this young man, Reece McFadden, who produced and inspired display. He | :52:35. | :52:40. | |
defeated and dislodged the world number one from the Commonwealth | :52:41. | :52:43. | |
Games boxing tournament at 52 kilograms. What a shock, what an | :52:44. | :52:49. | |
upset, and that is how he did it. Two warnings issued against Selby | :52:50. | :52:53. | |
during the course of that third and final round for the mouthpiece | :52:54. | :52:59. | |
continually being dislodged. That is illegal. It was not being dislodged | :53:00. | :53:05. | |
by punches but it just appeared to be ill fitting. Well done, Reece | :53:06. | :53:08. | |
McFadden. I have to tell you that Selby's | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
team-mate at London 2012, Anthony go-go, said he would eat his hat if | :53:15. | :53:20. | |
Selby did not win gold. So get munching. Let's see what Selby have | :53:21. | :53:26. | |
to say about that. You must be unbelievably disappointed. Yes. I | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
lost the first round. I thought I Juan read the second. My gumshield | :53:32. | :53:37. | |
came out three or four rounds. I lost the fight because of that. Were | :53:38. | :53:43. | |
you deliberately spitting it out? Why would I do that? I came here to | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
fight. It is not my fault gumshield come out. So when you got the first | :53:49. | :53:54. | |
morning, could you believe it? It had only come out twice and he | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
warned me. And were you expecting a contest like that? I knew he would | :54:00. | :54:05. | |
run away from me but in the first round he picked me up, in the second | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
round I came back. I was behind and had to run in and kept getting | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
caught with silly shots. Thank you. More boxing and we will reflect on | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
that later. Are McGuigan will join us so it will be interesting to see | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
what he thinks about that. For now, back to the swimming. | :54:24. | :54:30. | |
Thank you, Gary. The national anthem of Australia is in progress so I am | :54:31. | :54:31. | |
not going to say a word. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE And now the | :54:32. | :54:55. | |
medals ceremony for the men's race, won by Australia, Silver also to | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
Australia. But the bronze medal went to Calum Jarvis of Wales. We can | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
show you in getting that in a moment. I like the wooden podiums, | :55:06. | :55:11. | |
following the wooden theme of the Quaich road as well. They have | :55:12. | :55:18. | |
embraced everything that is Scottish. A mixed day for Wales, | :55:19. | :55:30. | |
some really bad news stories. But a great swim from Calum Jarvis. And, | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
Becky, you were telling me he has changed his stroke. He started with | :55:35. | :55:39. | |
back straight. Column is 22 and this is his first many Championship. -- | :55:40. | :55:48. | |
he is 22 and this is his first major Championship. He seemed to be more | :55:49. | :55:52. | |
focused on the backstroke but he has totally switched. I do not know if | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
that was down to his coach or himself. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, | :55:57. | :56:04. | |
Jamieson, Willis, even though Michael was disappointed, the whole | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
club they belong to his doing so well. He was probably feeling really | :56:09. | :56:12. | |
confident coming into this race, knowing that the rest of his | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
team-mates were swimming well. He just looks so chuffed. Grab that | :56:17. | :56:22. | |
flag! Great stuff. While you were away, a bronze medal the Corrie | :56:23. | :56:26. | |
Scott of Scotland in the women's 50m breaststroke. This was a race that | :56:27. | :56:35. | |
was won by picket of Australia, but this was Corrie Scott's moment. And | :56:36. | :56:43. | |
she got a massive response. Seppi Scottish record in the heats. This | :56:44. | :56:47. | |
is her second Commonwealth Games, but her first Commonwealth medal. | :56:48. | :56:53. | |
And a moment she will treasure for... Oh, my word. I love this | :56:54. | :56:58. | |
family corner. Alan job is just getting down to this section where | :56:59. | :57:04. | |
family and friends can get down to the front. And that is what you | :57:05. | :57:08. | |
want, a hug from the people you love the most. Yes, you have to go and | :57:09. | :57:13. | |
speak to all the guys in media but all you want to speak to really is | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
your mum and dad! A couple of questions from viewers. Laura Davies | :57:19. | :57:23. | |
says, is there the same amount of chlorine in a racing pool as a | :57:24. | :57:28. | |
public poll? Yes, chlorine is always the same. It is the temperature that | :57:29. | :57:35. | |
differs. If it is a kids' pull it tends to be 30 degrees. In a racing | :57:36. | :57:47. | |
pool it is 25 degrees. The call that the water is, the harder it is to | :57:48. | :57:55. | |
swim faster. -- the cold earth. Rebekka says, why do some of the | :57:56. | :57:58. | |
swimmers remain standing until the moment they say set, and some crouch | :57:59. | :58:05. | |
straightaway? It is what you have been brought up with and what you | :58:06. | :58:13. | |
write used to. I prefer having a moment getting down into the set | :58:14. | :58:19. | |
position, but it is your preference. Scotland are having a fantastic | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
meat, which is the official term for a swimming event. Last night, a | :58:24. | :58:29. | |
wonderful gold medal for Ross Murdoch. An extraordinary evening. | :58:30. | :58:34. | |
Let's remember it. COMMENTATOR: The final of the men's | :58:35. | :58:37. | |
200m breast rake in the Commonwealth Games. A great start. The crowd are | :58:38. | :58:47. | |
roaring. The world record-holder closest to us with the yellow hat of | :58:48. | :58:52. | |
Australia, going out fast. No Jamieson is starting to go. The | :58:53. | :58:55. | |
Scotsman is starting to come through in the centre. It will be so tight. | :58:56. | :59:01. | |
I think it is between Murdoch and Jamieson. Ross Murdoch looks | :59:02. | :59:06. | |
absolutely brilliant at the moment. He's coming away! Ross Murdoch is | :59:07. | :59:13. | |
going to take the gold for Scotland. An utterly brilliant swim. Can you | :59:14. | :59:18. | |
believe it? It is gold to Ross Murdoch. He is just realising what | :59:19. | :59:23. | |
he has done. He was the Scottish champion this year of the 50m breast | :59:24. | :59:27. | |
rake and the 100m breast road. Now he's the Commonwealth champion and | :59:28. | :59:32. | |
the Commonwealth record-holder in this, the 200m breast road. Who | :59:33. | :59:41. | |
would have thought it? -- breaststroke. I have dreamt about | :59:42. | :59:46. | |
this for so long. I didn't actually think it would come true. This will | :59:47. | :59:52. | |
never happen again in my lifetime. I am so glad I came here to take this | :59:53. | :59:57. | |
opportunity. I am lost for words. I think he is still lost or words. A | :59:58. | :00:02. | |
massive moment. He swims a massive moment. He swims again tonight in | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
the semifinal. Potentially gold medals. Definitely. For anyone | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
competing, you have to put that medal away, put it in the drawer, in | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
the suitcase, and move on. You have got another race today. I am sure | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
RoSPA is absolutely buzzing last night but he has two carry on and | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
cannot really enjoy it until the end. -- I am sure Ross was buzzing. | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
Just have to switch off. I just turned off my phone for a little bit | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
address it was to contact my parents. You have to stay away from | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
the bus because you have a job to do. You want to enjoy it and do all | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
the interviews, but you are here to race. He didn't come here just for | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
that one gold. Know, and we will see how it has affected him, because | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
Ross Murdoch is coming up after the two women's 50m freestyle | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
semifinals. You can see the swimmers coming out for the first one. | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
Here is Cate Campbell, what a fantastic time she had in the heat. | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
There is Amy Smith of England. One job to do, pretty simple, he says in | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
his comfortable chair, make the final. Fastest eight times out of | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
these two semifinals. The fastest eight times get through to the | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
final, regardless of which of the two races you are in. | :01:38. | :01:51. | |
So Wales are in eight, closest to us. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
That is Hannah McCarthy. I am not sure whether Cate Campbell | :01:57. | :02:16. | |
put everything into the heat this morning. I expect her to turn it up | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
a notch. I wonder if we will see a swimmer go under 24 seconds. 24.3 | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
was the time for Cate Campbell this morning. At the moment, Vanderpool | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
Wallace is leading, in the black cap for the Bahamas. Amy Smith is maybe | :02:43. | :02:59. | |
going to be third. That was a good swim. Campbell turned it up. Fran | :03:00. | :03:14. | |
Halsall is coming next. She swim. Campbell turned it up. Fran | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Halsall is holds the games record, or held it until just then. She also | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
looked really good in the heat this morning. Good to see her back on | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
form, but Cate Campbell is the one to beat. | :03:32. | :04:09. | |
The quality in this Commonwealth Games is really Williams. -- really | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
brilliant. This is our second Jewish swimmer. | :04:15. | :04:50. | |
-- English swimmer. Another Scot. They are just pumping them out into | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
these semis and finals. Part of Ross Murdoch's team at the university of | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
sterling. Bronte Campbell live very much in | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
the shadow of her sister, Cate. But on that relay last night, | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
world-record team for Australia. This is going to be an interesting | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
head to head. It is only the semi. This young lady is also part of that | :05:19. | :05:33. | |
world record-setting relay last night. A very interesting three, | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
four and five, with Shaun Harkin in lane six. Fran is between the two | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
Australians. She has the talent to be in that group. She talked about | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
being a bit tired and not waking up well in the morning, but it is night | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
now, her favourite time-of-day! She has got the talent to be there. | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
So, this second semifinal of the women's 50m freestyle. The first one | :06:06. | :06:19. | |
was quick. Sub 25, and they are definitely in. | :06:20. | :06:39. | |
These are the fastest women in the world, and a very fast start for | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
Fran Halsall, the black hat in the centre. Really fast turnover as | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
well, goodness me. They have to have supremely strong shoulders to do | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
this. Very good indeed. A new championship record. She has seen | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
Cate Campbell do it in the first semifinal. And thought, whatever you | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
can do, I can do better. She looked really good. She help the water so | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
well. Great reaction to the gun. If you look at the underwater shots, | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
there are very few bubbles coming off her arms, which suggest that she | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
is really grabbing the water. Swimming is all about grabbing the | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
water and pulling yourself through it. A great victory. It would be | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
good to see her get that gold medal. Against the two Campbells and | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Schlanger? That would really be something special. | :07:52. | :08:18. | |
I think Sian Harkin from Scotland will make the final as well. Yes, | :08:19. | :08:32. | |
she is in eighth place, so that is excellent. Amy Smith for England as | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
well. And I believe Sharon is talking to Fran Halsall. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
I certainly am speaking to Mrs Speedy arms here. You have such | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
different styles from Cate as well. That is clearly what you have to do. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Exactly, there are different ways to get to the same goal. If you look at | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
athletics, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the champion with her style. And | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
to knock three hundredths of a PB, you got progressively faster. Sub | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
24? That would be nice! I don't want to tempt fate, but I feel good. I | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
have had a great preparation for this meeting. I feel confident. I | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
have got a 50 fly in the morning tomorrow, so it will be busy. But I | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
was like, we can do this, as English. Good luck. | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
I was just saying to you, Fran Halsall is only 24, but she has been | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
at it a long time. In Delhi, she had a really bad case of Delhi belly. | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
But she got five medals. I think last night was her eighth | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
Commonwealth medal, so she is nudging up and could be into double | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
figures by the end of this week. And she will be on that form as well. A | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
huge roar in the background for Michael Jamieson, who has just come | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
out, having won the silver medal behind Ross Murdoch. And this is the | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
first of the semifinals for the men's 100m. Let's give you the full | :10:21. | :10:30. | |
line-up with Andy and Adrian. The second of the three Scots, Craig | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Benson, is in lane three. What an amazing semi it is. There is the | :10:36. | :10:45. | |
world-record holder. And next to him will be Ross Murdoch. Listen to | :10:46. | :10:56. | |
this. So we have Jamieson of Scotland in two, Benson of Scotland | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
in three, Ross Murdoch of Scotland in four. And the South African in | :11:00. | :11:13. | |
lane five. Murdoch has got the walk figured out now! The fastest swimmer | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
gets the least amount of time. The referee has already blown the | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
whistle. You would think they would give the fastest person the most | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
time to get ready, but they give him the least. I agree. | :11:35. | :11:48. | |
The first semifinal of the men's 100 metre breaststroke at the | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
Commonwealth Games, and it is absolutely stacked full up Cameron | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
van der Burgh of South Africa gets a very good start. Ross Murdoch is | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
trying to go with him. Murdoch not quite as quick on those first two or | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
three strokes. Benson is coming through in third place. Come on, | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Michael Jamieson. I want to see him in that final tomorrow. The Scots | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
are in lane is two, three and four. Andrew Willis in the black hat of | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
England is also looking good. Ross Murdoch is having a go at the | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
world-record holder. He surely can't win this semi. He has won it! Look | :12:43. | :12:53. | |
at that. Goodness me. That is only just outside his Scottish record. | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Adrian, it is only a semifinal. Calm down! We are going to calm down. But | :12:59. | :13:10. | |
Murdoch is soaking it up, and he deserves to. The crowd are going | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
nuts, beating the boards. I don't know where they are finding the | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
boards. They are making a great noise. Ross Murdoch swam a perfect | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
race, and Van Der Burgh does not look in good shape. Not that good, | :13:25. | :13:34. | |
but not too bad. Michael Jamieson ended up in fifth place. Benson had | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
a good swim. And Sharon has got Ross with her. | :13:39. | :14:20. | |
Yes, Ross is the new Commonwealth Games champion and looking good in | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
that as well. Yet, I am feeling good. My recovery was not great last | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
night. So it is all about recovery tonight. What time did you get it | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
last night? You said this morning that you had not seen any media. I | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
bet you have now. I saw the TV earlier. I do not really want to | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
associate myself with that just now. I want to stay level. So I have seen | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
a little bit, but I want to stay grounded. We will let you go. Well | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
done. He certainly is staying grounded, | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
and he needs to be. Here is the world champion. We have seen Michael | :15:08. | :15:29. | |
Jamieson only get fifth place in that first semi, with a relatively | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
slow 62. I worry for him, because these guys will go fast. Funk swam a | :15:36. | :16:01. | |
61.25 this morning. They say he looks brilliant on the 100. Yes very | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
strong swimmer. He got that fourth place in the 200. | :16:06. | :16:24. | |
The Australians only have one breaststroker. I'm not surprised | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
he's swimming this in seven. England's Adam Peaty, the British | :16:28. | :16:42. | |
record holder, the fastest qualifier after the heats, and the faster of | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
the two semifinals. We saw Ross Murdoch winning the first semifinal | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
in sub-60. I'd be surprised if Peaty doesn't also go sub-60. He qualified | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
in 59. 47, a new Commonwealth Games record. Peaty strong, straight. He | :17:00. | :17:10. | |
leads them out. That's a good time. British record came off 28. 02. He's | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
going for it a good evening swim. Nothing at stake really. He's bound | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
to get a position in the final. Snyders is pushing him. Adam Peaty | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
looking very good. Coached by Mel Marshal. Swimming away now from the | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
field, Peaty. Really good. Oh, my goodness me. That's a new British | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
record for a start. I think that's going to really worry the rest of | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
the field in that first semifinal, that was absolutely loaded. We saw | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
Ross Murdoch win it. But that is a special 100 metres breaststroke. | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
Absolutely, best time in a semifinals. A lot of swimmers do | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
that. There's nothing to lose in a semifinal in the evening, you have a | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
whole day to rest before the final. Peaty's stroke technically really | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
good, a lot of power. Good under water, one fly kick allowed. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Sprenger taking off there. water, one fly kick allowed. | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
Sprenger taking A very fast semi. Yeah, first six were faster than | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
Michael Jamieson there. Michael Jamieson hasn't made it, nor | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
has Christian Sprenger. That's a good thing. | :18:32. | :18:46. | |
The interesting news is that Andrew will I of England -- Willis of | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
England hasn't made it nor Michael Jamieson. There's a bit of a new | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
guard coming through. We have seen a lot of younger swimmers with Murdoch | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
and Peaty 19 years of age, going through. He's a real danger. Danger | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
to the rest of the field. But great Gold Medal potential. | :19:09. | :19:20. | |
That will be a super race. Is that Billy Connelly? Erm... I'm not sure. | :19:21. | :19:37. | |
It may well be. I think that is. Many congratulations. A fantastic | :19:38. | :19:47. | |
swim, a British record. Looking very strong in there. Yeah, I mean, I | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
think there's more to come than that. Still getting used to the | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
arena, a great crowd out here. England support is amazing. It | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
carried me for the last 15. What is it that you're doing with Mel, | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
fantastic that Mel coaches you. You have a little hub there going on. | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Ex-international, I know her very well. Definitely. I'd like to say | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
we're doing things differently, but I'm not sure. I don't really | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
eavesdrop on other people. We train hard. We have a good time. We enjoy. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
It that's what it's all about. Talk to me about how great British guys | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
swimming is at the moment. There's a bunch of 18, 19, 20-year-olds coming | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
out of the junior ranks and stamping their mark. Definitely. We're all | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
hungry for it. We just want it as much as each other. Just going out | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
there and enjoying us, all of us England lot. We're just having a | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
good Is there time. A 58. In those arms? I hope so, yeah. Hope so too. | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
Thank you. So the first semifinal of the | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
women's 100 metres backstroke. The swimmers already being introduced. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
Here is Hilary Caldwell of Canada in lane two. Stirrat of Wales is in | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
lane one. Based out of Louisiana State University. Kathleen Dawson, | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
the new Scottish record holder on this 100 metres, 60. 91 she swap to | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
make it into this semi. A little bit faster and she can make the final. | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Lizzie Simmonds of England is in three. It's a fast semi this one. | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
The second one probably a little bit faster. They will have to go | :21:36. | :21:47. | |
quickly. Lauren Quigley. What a swimming family. And Belinda Hocking | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
of Australia. Hill of Northern Ireland goes in lane eight. | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
14-year-old in lane eight, Hocking took to swimming because of an | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
asthma issue, just like myself. Quite a few swimmers. It does help. | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
Then you start racing and you get excited. Looking forward to see how | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
Simmonds and Quigley do. Can Dawson repeat that awesome swim this | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
morning, the Scottish record? I think it will be under a minute. | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
Maybe a couple of swimmers with low 60s will make it through. | :22:34. | :22:42. | |
Two lengths backstroke. 15 metres under water, all of them just up | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
before the 15-metre mark, good to see. Lizzie Simmonds up there with | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
the black hat of England in lane three, probably the best start of | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
all. Absolutely. Simmonds got a -- has got a real pedigree the | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
backstroke. Came through the European junior championships seven | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
years ago, a fantastic career. I would like to see her repeat some of | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
her success. Simmonds first, Quigley third. Split by Hocking. Great turn | :23:13. | :23:22. | |
by Simmonds, fantastic. She's an excellent proponent of that | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
underwater butterfly stroke and she's starting to swim away. She was | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
European champion on the 200m backstroke a while ago, but hasn't | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
swum that time recently. Look at this, very strong in the semi. Very | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
strong indeed. She will get first or second. Maybe first. Equal first. | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
Well done. That's a great swim from her. Her lifetime best is 59. 59. 4, | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
she did that four years ago. To duck under 60 is a good, solid swim. | :23:54. | :24:05. | |
She came back well, did Hocking. Simmonds not just holding off in the | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
end. A little bit slower than I thought. Looked like 60. 7 will make | :24:13. | :24:22. | |
through. Here they are to the turn, onto the front, over, tight over and | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
coming to the end here and a good dive, both women diving in for the | :24:28. | :24:39. | |
wall. All good finishes there. She has a nose clip on, look at | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
that. You don't often see that. I think Lauren Quigley does as well. I | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
guess to stop the water going up the nose, right? OK, so... | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
LAUGHTER Lizzie Simmonds winning that one. | :24:58. | :25:07. | |
So just tell me about that, what's point of the nose clip, again? To | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
stop the water going up the nose. You know that. Did you used to wear | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
one? I tell you what, I put one on once. Any way, on the poolside | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
Sharon is talking to Lizzie Simmonds. | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
I don't know. They're talking nose clips and all sorts of rubbish and I | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
have you here waiting. So lovely to see you back. Yeah, it was great | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
tonight. This morning was a little bit blowing the cobweb as way. My | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
aim was to go under a minute tonight, so I'm chuffed with that. | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
Hopefully, a little bit more to give later in the week. A solid swim and | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
a move in the right direction. It's the first time I've been under 60 | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
since the Olympic Very strong year. Starts and turns, something you've | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
worked on? Definitely, my under water has always been one of my | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
strong points. My swimming speed is the thing I've been working on more. | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
It's great to know that I'm still hopefully a bit ahead of the field | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
with the starts and turns. Lovely to see you back. See you tomorrow. | :26:11. | :26:25. | |
The second semifinal of the women's 100m backstroke. | :26:26. | :26:35. | |
Georgia Davies, this is a big semifinal for her. 60. 8 she went in | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
the heats. I think it was a comfortable swim. She has to go 60 | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
flat to make this final. Snodgrass of Canada goes in three. Then | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
Russell of Canada comes out in five. But very much the class of this | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
field will be in lane four, Seebohm of Australia, World Championship | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
Silver Medallist, Olympic Games Silver Medallist, defending | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
champion. She has eight medals out of eight races in Delhi, three | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
golds. Talk about disappointment, that silver in London was | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
disappointing for her. She took three months off after that. | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
Considering whether she would carry on. I think she was a prolific | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
tweeter. I think it affected her concentration a little bit. I think | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
she's slowed that down a little bit. That's right the coach suggested | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
that to her, and he's banned her from tweeting at certain points. | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
A very big semifinal here. Georgia Davis in six for Wales. I would love | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
to see her go sub-60. So the second semifinal away and | :27:46. | :28:03. | |
whoa very close indeed Georgia Davies to the 15-metre mark, right | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
on the button I would suggest there. And also maybe Hope in lane six, | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
good start from her. She did the same thing in the heats this | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
morning. We sported it -- spotted it this morning. The judges, it will be | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
interesting to see whether they do - they don't come down too hard on the | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
swimmers. Some coaches would like them to, to set the example. She | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
will make an effort on this one. Good turn again, under water, 12, 13 | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
metres. Top four would do it, I think. This is good, solid swimming. | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
She sometimes starts to swin around here too much when she gets to 25 to | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
go. She needs to hold her stroke. Georgia Davies looking good for | :28:48. | :28:50. | |
Wales. If she can get three or four at least here, she will make the | :28:51. | :28:55. | |
final. This is very good. Very good indeed. # that was Seebohm, but the | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
first three have gone sub-60 and Georgia Davies' time 59. 63 just | :29:02. | :29:08. | |
outside her Welsh record. What a great swim, though. Absolutely. She | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
went for it, as you mentioned. She had to pull it out tonight. That | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
should put her in a good position for the finalsment -- final. This is | :29:19. | :29:25. | |
a quicker semi than the first one. It was a very quick semi indeed. | :29:26. | :29:34. | |
With three swimmers sub-60, that was fast. So just on the finish, though. | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
Well the class has shone through for Emily Seebohm, world Silver | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
Medallist, Olympic Silver Medallist, Olympic champion, I can't see | :29:47. | :29:49. | |
anybody beating her in the final. It is a tough one. Here are the | :29:50. | :29:51. | |
results: Let's hear from Georgia Davies now | :29:52. | :30:15. | |
with Sharon. Great swim, just again 0. 3 off her | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
PB, that was 20 #1e, great time to come back into form. Yeah, I've been | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
chasing that PB since 2011 trials for Shanghai. I came close in the | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
trials for this. So yeah, I'm thrilled with that time. I looked at | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
the scoreboard wrong. I'm just realising what score I did. That's a | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
nice surprise to have. You committed to it, which has to be done at this | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
level of competition. I felt rusty this morning, because I wanted to - | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
I was nervous as well, my first race. I wanted to get it done. I'm | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
really pleased with that. I committed a lot more. I'm really | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
excited for the final now. Wales are committed a lot more. I'm really | :30:52. | :30:53. | |
excited for the final now. Wales off the mark too, which is always nice. | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
Callum did amazing in that 200 free. Yeah, it's going really well. We | :30:59. | :31:03. | |
need to add more to that tomorrow. I hope so, more tonight maybe with | :31:04. | :31:07. | |
Gemma in the 100 fly. Good luck tomorrow. | :31:08. | :31:16. | |
So Ross Muir just being introduced to this highly partisan crowd. | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
They're being very fair indeed, but my goodness me when the Scots come | :31:21. | :31:25. | |
out they turn the heat up. Muir in lane eight. What a great experience | :31:26. | :31:30. | |
it's going to be for him, right next to Sebastien Rousseau of South | :31:31. | :31:37. | |
Africa. He swims in Florida. A team-mate of Dan Wallace. Lane two, | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
here he is Louis Smith. He's got a chance of getting a medal, an | :31:43. | :31:46. | |
outside chance. The middle guys are very quick indeed. | :31:47. | :31:57. | |
Thomas Fraser-Holmes won the 200 freestyle. A lot of these swimmers | :31:58. | :32:10. | |
are looking to get under 4.10. Roberto Pavoni broke the English | :32:11. | :32:19. | |
record earlier this year. Travis Mahoney is the faster seed of the | :32:20. | :32:25. | |
two Australians. Now, what a moment for this young man. He qualified | :32:26. | :32:35. | |
fastest for the final in Glasgow. It is Daniel Wallace of Scotland. But | :32:36. | :32:47. | |
it may take faster than that to win gold. You are right, he will have to | :32:48. | :32:58. | |
do his best time again. A new record has to be on the cards for a gold | :32:59. | :33:24. | |
medal. Daniel Wallace of Scotland stars as the fastest qualifier, | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
probably the best butterfly swimmer. | :33:30. | :33:40. | |
It is going to be interesting for the middle guys. Mahoney has got a | :33:41. | :33:50. | |
good backstroke, so it is a bit of an unusual race. The Australian is a | :33:51. | :34:01. | |
very good swimmer on backstroke. His breaststroke is phenomenal, but | :34:02. | :34:40. | |
I am not sure if he knows what is going on. He is about a second down | :34:41. | :34:46. | |
on his flight from this morning. He is a lot slower, leaving himself | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
with a huge amount of work to do. His team-mate, Rousseau from | :34:51. | :34:55. | |
Florida, is having the race of his life. The race is settling down. | :34:56. | :35:04. | |
Mahoney is coming through on the backstroke as expected. I wonder | :35:05. | :35:09. | |
whether Wallace has left himself too much to do. It is an interesting | :35:10. | :35:15. | |
tactic. He's two seconds down after three lengths. I wonder if he went a | :35:16. | :35:23. | |
bit too fast in the heat 's. At the halfway term of the final of this | :35:24. | :35:30. | |
men's 400m, the South African is in first place. The rest of the field | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
have now got to start coming back. Daniel Wallace is in the white hat. | :35:36. | :35:41. | |
Then. But he has got a lot to make up. He has got to do a huge amount. | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
And we know Fraser-Holmes has a fantastic freestyle. Rousseau is | :35:48. | :35:58. | |
having the swim of his life. He has not tailed off. Rousseau could have | :35:59. | :36:12. | |
stolen a march on the whole field. Wallace is coming back but he was | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
2.6 seconds down, with 50m breaststroke still to go. Lewis | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
Smith of Scotland is starting to come through, but look at Wallace. | :36:23. | :36:27. | |
He is now finding his strength, power and away on this breaststroke. | :36:28. | :36:32. | |
I think he may have left it with too much to do. Rousseau is over first | :36:33. | :36:39. | |
Tom Wallace second. Fraser-Holmes is looking a bit tired in third, and | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
now the race is on. All three of these guys are great quality | :36:44. | :36:49. | |
middle-distance freestylers. The crowd are going nuts full up --. | :36:50. | :37:06. | |
If the crowd can do anything here, they can take this young man to a | :37:07. | :37:13. | |
gold medal, but Rousseau has found another gear. Oh, no, look at this! | :37:14. | :37:21. | |
This is very tight. Daniel Wallace is moving away from Rousseau. In the | :37:22. | :37:25. | |
centre, Daniel Wallace of Scotland. Can we really get another gold medal | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
for Scotland? It is going to be a Commonwealth champion in the men's | :37:31. | :37:34. | |
400m. It is Daniel Wallace of Scotland! What a massive swim from | :37:35. | :37:39. | |
him. And the crowd asked and then up to salute the new Commonwealth | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
champion, Dan Wallace of Scotland. Goodness me! Wow! That young | :37:44. | :37:53. | |
manually gave me a bit of heart failure there. What was he doing? | :37:54. | :37:55. | |
What a great race. Good grief. Wow, wow, wow, that was | :37:56. | :38:14. | |
brilliant. Daniel Wallace gets the gold. I can also tell you about the | :38:15. | :38:19. | |
silvers and the bronzes. Fraser-Holmes of Australia, looking | :38:20. | :38:29. | |
tired, gets silver. Rousseau, a team-mate of Wallace in Florida, | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
gets the bronze. And Roberto Pavoni came fourth. This was the rest room | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
where we thought Wallace had left too much to do. He knew his | :38:39. | :38:49. | |
team-mate was tailing off, and Rousseau tailed all the way back to | :38:50. | :39:01. | |
third place. Fantastic. One of five children. I hope they are all here. | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
His mum and dad 's old their house to get him to university in the | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
States. I think he was swearing that, trying to live read that. | :39:10. | :39:14. | |
Commonwealth champion. Dan Wallace is diluting the crowd. | :39:15. | :39:43. | |
Let's hope he can have a chat with Sharron Davies. -- he was saluting | :39:44. | :39:48. | |
the crowd. What a fascinating swim. He swam it so differently to the | :39:49. | :39:54. | |
heats. He was 2.6 seconds down after one leg of the breaststroke. Pulled | :39:55. | :39:59. | |
it all back, and in the end, won by quite a way. He won by eight tenths | :40:00. | :40:08. | |
of a second. I'm delighted to say that the new Commonwealth champion | :40:09. | :40:14. | |
is now with Sharron Davies. My goodness, a fantastic race, and | :40:15. | :40:20. | |
so mature lease one. You knew exactly what you were going to do. I | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
knew exactly where I need to be at each point. I knew it would be a | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
fight to the finish, but I am really happy. I can see that! You said | :40:30. | :40:35. | |
flipped at the end of that race, didn't you? Year! I got very | :40:36. | :40:42. | |
excited. It is not everyday that you swim a race in of your home crowd. | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
Is everybody here to support you, family? Yeah, not just family. Every | :40:47. | :40:53. | |
single person right now in the stands is family to me. I have | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
friends here and friends back home. I want to say hi to those guys. You | :40:59. | :41:04. | |
made a big commitment. You moved out of the States, and it is clearly | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
working. Yeah, I felt it was the right thing for me to do, and | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
moments like this make it worth it. Scotland, three golds and counting. | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
Well done. At the halfway stage of that race, I was doing, no way! And | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
the man who does the stats for us came to me and said, Clare, it is | :41:25. | :41:31. | |
under control. I said, how can it be under control 's he has got miles to | :41:32. | :41:38. | |
make up! He was two seconds down on his split time from this morning. It | :41:39. | :41:44. | |
left you thinking, he's two seconds down, how is he going to pull this | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
back? He timed it perfectly. To say he was not in the mix as well, he | :41:50. | :41:54. | |
just swam his own race and it paid off. Billy Connolly was among those | :41:55. | :42:01. | |
shouting and screaming behind us. But we have another final fast upon | :42:02. | :42:04. | |
us, and the swimmers are about to get into the water for the women's | :42:05. | :42:06. | |
100m freestyle Para-sport S8. Yes, you join us as they are about | :42:07. | :42:18. | |
to start the final of the women's 100m final for the S8. Marc Woods, | :42:19. | :42:34. | |
12 times Paralympic medallist. Maddison Elliott is a favourite for | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
gold here? Absolute elite. This young lady, she is 15, won the World | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
Championships last year and was only two tenths of a second away from the | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
world record. She has a great opportunity of breaking the record, | :42:51. | :42:53. | |
but we must not forget about Steph Slater. This young woman did an | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
incredible job to come back from a serious injury to her shoulder. You | :42:58. | :43:04. | |
will see her pulling with one arm while swimming. It was an injury she | :43:05. | :43:10. | |
says they need while training. -- an injury she sustained. But she is | :43:11. | :43:17. | |
giving Maddison Elliott a run for her money. She is in the black hat | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
for England, Stephanie Slater, single arm freestyle. She is having | :43:22. | :43:30. | |
a go at Maddison Elliott. The world record is held by Jessica Long of | :43:31. | :43:35. | |
the USA. This is a closer race than we expected. Elliott gets the gold. | :43:36. | :43:46. | |
It is a new world record for the S8 women's 100m freestyle. My goodness, | :43:47. | :43:57. | |
how close was Steph Slater? Amazing. Maybe people at home are thinking, | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
how can it be fair that a girl pulling with one arm is racing | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
against somebody with all her limbs, but you have to look at Paralympic | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
sport and understand that people have judged this to make sure it is | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
fair. The swimmers have comparable ability. The Kenyan came ninth in | :44:14. | :44:21. | |
Delhi in the 100 freestyle. The crowd are being incredibly generous, | :44:22. | :44:28. | |
as they cheer her into the last 10m. This is wonderful to see. We have | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
seen a world record from Maddison Elliott of Australia. And now we are | :44:33. | :44:38. | |
seeing Wacuka of Kenya completing the wondered metres freestyle for | :44:39. | :44:46. | |
the S8 category. But look at the motion. She is 15 years old, | :44:47. | :44:53. | |
Maddison Elliott. She has just broken the world record. Steph | :44:54. | :45:03. | |
Slater's time was very good as well. She has roped in the British | :45:04. | :45:06. | |
record, which is fantastic to see. -- she has broken the record. It was | :45:07. | :45:11. | |
so close. Some of the able-bodied swimmers | :45:12. | :45:25. | |
make more of a mess than that. Look at Maddison Elliott, she is so | :45:26. | :45:26. | |
happy. there is a great demonstration of | :45:27. | :45:55. | |
why it is so important to have integrated events, to have para | :45:56. | :46:00. | |
swimming races as well as able-bodied races at the same Games. | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
An incredibly emotional win there. Another one for Australia and | :46:05. | :46:10. | |
Maddison Elliott is only 15 years old. She's going to be a star. We | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
will see her in Rio, I'm sure. The crowd here getting excited, because | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
coming up next is the medal ceremony for the 400m individual medley, | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
which was won by Dan Wallace of Scotland. They're very excited about | :46:25. | :46:29. | |
that here. We will build up to that, after a word from Sharon. | :46:30. | :46:36. | |
Many congratulations. A fantastic PB and you pushed Maddison to the world | :46:37. | :46:41. | |
record.. Yeah, it's my turn to break the word record! You know, it's | :46:42. | :46:46. | |
first time I've competed internationally on the freestyle. | :46:47. | :46:49. | |
So, obviously there's a lot more there to give. I'm really happy with | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
tonight. You've had to adapt and change a lot over the last two years | :46:54. | :46:55. | |
in. tonight. You've had to adapt and | :46:56. | :46:56. | |
change a lot over the last A way, you're almost still learning how to | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
deal with your disability and be as fast as can you? Yeah, definitely. | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
It's been hard to transition from swimming with two arms to one arm. | :47:05. | :47:09. | |
I've been working really hard and it's paying That was off. Fveng. | :47:10. | :47:12. | |
Very well done to you -- That was fantastic. Very well done to you. | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
Thank you. Absolutely brilliant performance. | :47:17. | :47:22. | |
And Stephanie used to be an able-bodied swimmer. What's so great | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
about that is they are going to push each other. Maddison, what a great | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
competitor. She was so emotional there. That's what it's all about. | :47:33. | :47:35. | |
Everyone went electric, yeah, she's an Australian, whatever, no-one | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
cares. People are so happy to watch good sport. Now, I have the answer | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
to the question about the medal podiums. I have to say, can I give | :47:45. | :47:50. | |
credit here to Gabby lowingan, who has -- Logan, who has told me. They | :47:51. | :47:58. | |
are from trees that were felled when the new facilities were built. | :47:59. | :48:05. | |
Elmwood -- elm for the gold, sycamore for the silver. And on the | :48:06. | :48:09. | |
elm wood in a second or two will be Dan Wallace. The whole flavour of | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
the ceremonies with the bagpipes and the way everything is introduced, it | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
makes it totally unique. It's very, very special. To be a Scottish Gold | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
Medallist at these Commonwealth Games, well, that is something you | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
will never, never forget. The 21-year-old is about to have his | :48:26. | :48:31. | |
moment. Well, what a fantastic moment it's | :48:32. | :48:35. | |
going to be. If you're going to win the Commonwealth Games, why not do | :48:36. | :48:43. | |
it in your home country, in front of 4,500 baying Scotsmen and women, | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
just a brilliant atmosphere here. It must be the loudest, certainly I | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
suppose since 2012, 2012 was probably the loudest I've ever | :48:53. | :48:58. | |
heard, but for this gentleman, such an amazing swim. Absolutely, Andy. | :48:59. | :49:04. | |
Forgive me for not being around when you were commentating the last 15 | :49:05. | :49:07. | |
metres. I was stood up, listening to the crowd! It was a great swim. | :49:08. | :49:16. | |
There's Bruce Robertson, six medals in Christ church. First deputy | :49:17. | :49:24. | |
minister for the Scottish Government, well, she's chosen a | :49:25. | :49:31. | |
good one. There's Sebastien Rousseau who pushed them very hard, leading | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
for such a long time. Led after the fly, led after the backstroke and I | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
think, leading after the breaststroke leg as well. So | :49:41. | :49:46. | |
Rousseau of South Africa wins the bronze medal. A very different, yeah | :49:47. | :49:53. | |
you're right, very different splits. Wallace took nearly three seconds | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
off him on the breaststroke and was nearly three seconds faster on the | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
freestyle. He's a very, very -- it's a very, very brave way to swim it. | :50:03. | :50:07. | |
He will have felt himself miles behind after the backstroke. What a | :50:08. | :50:11. | |
tough double, he won Gold Medal on the men's 200m freestyle, now Thomas | :50:12. | :50:21. | |
Fraser-Holmes wins the Silver Medal. He paid for it down the last 50. | :50:22. | :50:28. | |
Still what a night he's had. A good night, gold and silver in one | :50:29. | :50:32. | |
evening is pretty good. But we're about to see another Scottish Gold | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
Medal, two nights of swimming, and three gold medals for Scotland. | :50:37. | :50:43. | |
Well, massively impressive. They keep pumping them into these finals | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
and the results are just unbelievable. Representing Scotland, | :50:48. | :50:56. | |
Daniel Wallace! Cheeky little wink there. Commonwealth champion, a | :50:57. | :51:04. | |
wonderful moment for this gentleman. 21-year-old Daniel Wallace of | :51:05. | :51:09. | |
Scotland. His family dedicated so much to let him go to Florida, swim | :51:10. | :51:15. | |
over there at university and it's it paying off wonderfully well. Fifth | :51:16. | :51:21. | |
in the 400m freestyle and now Commonwealth champion on the 400 | :51:22. | :51:32. | |
medley. Two days, absolutely stunning swimming. Commonwealth | :51:33. | :51:33. | |
Games champion. # And autumn leaves lie thick | :51:34. | :51:41. | |
and still The crowd in full voice there. Dan | :51:42. | :53:18. | |
Wallace himself possibly not trusting himself to sing Flower of | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
Scotland. Just trying to take it all in. That is an amazing result and | :53:24. | :53:29. | |
such a good race. He has more medal opportunities in the 200 IM as well. | :53:30. | :53:35. | |
Stamina is his forte, obviously, because I mean, I just thought | :53:36. | :53:38. | |
there's no way. There's no way he can win this. From this morning, he | :53:39. | :53:44. | |
swap it completely different. Yeah. He was out slower. We were worried | :53:45. | :53:52. | |
at one point. I know it was said he was all under control. Yes, Thomas | :53:53. | :53:59. | |
Fraser-Holmes had a race, but we thought he left too much. What is | :54:00. | :54:05. | |
that all about? Oh, it's a Gaters thing. They train in Florida. That's | :54:06. | :54:11. | |
the inside information! That's what we need. They train together. So | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
they push each other on all the time. A lot of people Gemma | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
Spofforth was out there, they are like a big family. They all support | :54:23. | :54:25. | |
each other. These guys are best of friends. They want to push each | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
other. It's great with Dan, when he comes home, he trains here and he | :54:30. | :54:36. | |
loves coming home as well. He trains with the great Ryan Lochte. That's | :54:37. | :54:42. | |
got to give you huge amount of confidence. He was only 13th, sorry | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
seventh at the World Championships last year. You'd think that this | :54:47. | :54:50. | |
would give him real confidence, because beating a top Australian, | :54:51. | :54:55. | |
OK, Thomas Fraser-Holmes has won a Gold Medal earlier, you could argue | :54:56. | :54:59. | |
- Still a fast time, a very good time. The breakthrough came this | :55:00. | :55:04. | |
year. I sent him a message after the American collegiate system, arguably | :55:05. | :55:10. | |
one of the greatest metes in the world. There's a lot of Europeans | :55:11. | :55:14. | |
who race in that system. He had a great race in the 500-yard free over | :55:15. | :55:20. | |
there. I sent him a message saying, "Awesome, well done." I know the | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
gravitas of that. If you are that good in the States, you will come | :55:25. | :55:27. | |
back to Europe and represent your country very, very well. This is the | :55:28. | :55:36. | |
tunnel of love. This is lovely. I really like that. It's such a | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
traditional part of the British team that you do that. Everyone loves | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
being part of that. It's nice when you're the one walking through it | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
and not stood making the tunnel. Team spirit! When you rejoin us, we | :55:50. | :55:56. | |
will have the men's 100 metre backstroke final including Liam | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
Tancock of England and up against Mitch Larkin. We leave you with | :56:02. | :56:06. | |
Scotland in full celebratory mode because of the performance of Dan | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
Wallace. What about that, great stuff there, | :56:11. | :56:14. | |
Dan Wallace winning another gold for Scotland, that's their seventh. | :56:15. | :56:18. | |
That's four short now of their best ever total, which was in Melbourne | :56:19. | :56:26. | |
in 2006. An exciting race. There have been lots of good stories | :56:27. | :56:29. | |
around This is a Man's World Games -- in this Games so far. A negative | :56:30. | :56:35. | |
story broke out regarding a failed doping test. It concerned Welsh 400m | :56:36. | :56:42. | |
hurdler Reece Williams, a bronze medallist in Delhi four years ago. | :56:43. | :56:45. | |
This capped a miserable week for team Wales. | :56:46. | :56:51. | |
The captain, the leader, a passionate character from Welsh | :56:52. | :56:58. | |
sporting royalty. Reece Williams - victim or culprit. The net catches | :56:59. | :57:02. | |
all and does not distinguish. The science of sport has taken us to new | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
heights in performance, but great depths, in those finding an illegal | :57:07. | :57:11. | |
edge. So it has to come with an immovable set of rules, while sport | :57:12. | :57:15. | |
is all about colour, sporting law is Black Country and white. -- black | :57:16. | :57:19. | |
and white. The captain has not been the first to suffer. Gareth | :57:20. | :57:26. | |
Warburton fell into a similar pit. We'll conduct a full investigation | :57:27. | :57:29. | |
within Welsh athletics. Clearly something has happened which has | :57:30. | :57:34. | |
broken the code of conduct. Others who wear the red dragon are missing | :57:35. | :57:39. | |
the more innocent no less infuriating cause of injury. Becki | :57:40. | :57:44. | |
James and world champion triathlete Non Stanford. No swim, cycle or run | :57:45. | :57:50. | |
either for Helen Jenkins. Fred Evans not allowed to fight for gold, a | :57:51. | :57:54. | |
decision from the highest powers. To line up to take your place, you have | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
to be clean of body and, it seems, clean of character. It's not been a | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
good week-and-a-half for team Wales. It's a really bleak day for us. We | :58:05. | :58:07. | |
need to do everything we can, to understand why that has Athletes are | :58:08. | :58:11. | |
happened. In constant competition. They compete against rules hard and | :58:12. | :58:18. | |
fast for the miscreant or misguided. They compete against themselves and | :58:19. | :58:21. | |
at times, their failing bodies. They might even have to compete against | :58:22. | :58:26. | |
their past. Wales more than most have been losing the competition | :58:27. | :58:32. | |
before it has begun. Yes indeed. Here to discuss the matter with us | :58:33. | :58:36. | |
we have BBC lead athletics commentator Steve Cram and 11 time | :58:37. | :58:43. | |
Paralympic Gold Medal winner Tanni grey Thompson. Rotten news really | :58:44. | :58:46. | |
for him and for the sport and rotten news for Wales. Yes, it's coming hot | :58:47. | :58:54. | |
on the he's of those disappoints there, it's really the drugs | :58:55. | :58:59. | |
scenario with Gareth and Reece. We don't know the details yet. There's | :59:00. | :59:05. | |
lots of rumours flying around. On the surface, we have to be careful | :59:06. | :59:09. | |
about rumours, on the surface, all athletes know anything they take | :59:10. | :59:14. | |
that they must have it checked. If it is for a subleapt... Do you | :59:15. | :59:19. | |
suspect it is supplement? I do. Only because that's what everybody is | :59:20. | :59:23. | |
saying and the language that they have used. Gareth's statement a | :59:24. | :59:28. | |
couple of weeks ago and Reece's today very similar, haven't | :59:29. | :59:31. | |
knowingly. We hear those statements all the time. Athletes know that's | :59:32. | :59:35. | |
not an excuse. I don't think either of them have said it's an excuse. | :59:36. | :59:38. | |
They just say they will cooperate with the process. It sounds as | :59:39. | :59:43. | |
though supplements are such a dodgy area for athletes, but there's a lot | :59:44. | :59:49. | |
of help now. There is no excuse, no excuse. There is a list. There is a | :59:50. | :59:55. | |
set of companies, it tells all the athletes which products you can | :59:56. | :59:59. | |
used, which have been batch tested and check with their federation. | :00:00. | :00:05. | |
There's no excuse I'm afraid. Forgive my ignorance, why do they | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
bother with supplements at all. Just get rid of them? That's a valid | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
argument. We're old... Er. Thank you! These products weren't around | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
in our day so much. Probably more so for Tanni, because she's younger | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
than me. I was chatting with a couple of guys at the hotel, and it | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
is part and parcel of the modern athlete. We have nutritionists and | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
science, it is about pushing the margins back. It is about - I don't | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
want to risk not taking things which are going to help me recover from | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
training and perform better, whatever sport, football, rugby, | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
cricket, athletics. But there are fine lines. Have you to be really | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
careful. They know the rules. These are two experienced athletes. They | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
know what the penalties are and it may be that they will have suffered | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
the greatest penalty, being accused of being a drug cheat. Damaging for | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
Wales, a proud Welshwoman, you must be immensely sad. Yeah, it's not | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
anything I would ever have imagined would have been connected with Reece | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Williams or Gareth Warburton. The age they are, they would have been | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
told, you know, don't return to a water bottle, don't drink from | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
anything unsealed. There is strict liability that you're responsible | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
for every single thing that goes in your body. That's the hard thing | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
that these days, you can't. You have to be so careful. I rarely took | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
anything because I was so distrustful. I didn't want my career | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
to be blighted by something that was just an accident. Is it right he's | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
been pulled out of the Games? Absolutely. Suspended. It's not his | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
choice. Isn't there a sense that innocent until proven guilty, but in | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
this you're guilty until proven innocent. There's a lot of science | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
in this. It's difficult to argue against the science. What you can | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
argue sometimes and this is where we have to be careful, because there | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
are always extenuating circumstances. Some of them are | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
valid and some aren't. You just have to be careful. I coach one of our | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
English athletes here and as a coach you have responsibility. You have to | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
be really careful. You ram it into them. You do preach to them? | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Absolutely. It isn't my responsibility. You know I try to | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
help and you push and guide and remind them. Laura and I went off to | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
train today in east kill bride, as far as drug testing, we let | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
everybody know, we're out of the village for two hours. They live in | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
that environment. They understand it and know it. At the end of the day, | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
it's terrible for these guys, and they're nice guys and everyone in | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
the Welsh team an British team know them as nice guys, however, that | :02:35. | :02:46. | |
will not get you off. I think there might be a public perception, as | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
with cycling. Maybe that has hurt you both? For me, yes, because it | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
seems almost never-ending. And to have two Welsh athletes lost | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
so close to the games, I am relieved that he did not get as far as the | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
village. That would have been hard for the team to deal with. The guys | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
have to try and forget about this. Unfortunately, he gave his speech to | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
the team as the co-captain. And he was chosen as the | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
the team as the co-captain. And he was chosen as co-captain because of | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
the type of guy he is. Do you think this would be a shock to Rhys | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
Williams? It can only be a shock in the | :03:38. | :03:38. | |
Williams? It can only be a shock sense that if he has been taking | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
something he is used to taking for a period of time and therefore thinks | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
he's OK. On the other hand, if the substance is moving to be something | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
he has not checked, it is his fault. Is there a danger that this could go | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
further? Is there a possibility that other members of the Welsh team have | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
the same nutrition? In the past, there has been a contaminated | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
batch. We have had multiple positive test come out of that. It remains to | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
be seen. Do you think there is a difference between the supplements | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
and the likes of steroids, which is clearly cheating and performance | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
enhancing? I used to be really harsh on this. I think there is, but | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
thankfully, we have a range of penalties. Some offences are very | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
blatant. We had the Tyson Gay scenario recently, where he admitted | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
it going back two years. He gave some information, which had his ban | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
cut to a year. I did not necessarily agree with that. But we have had | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
plenty of people in the past who have taken, mixtures or whatever, so | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
you need a range of offences. But at the end of the day, you should be | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
penalised, because that is the only thing we can rely on. You can't say, | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
you seem like a nice guy. I imagine there must be concern around wash | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
sport? There is. It is not a happy place to be right now. I feel like | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
the Welsh sports team has been hit again and again in lots of different | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
ways. It is sad. Nobody wanted to be in this situation. If you look at | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
Fred Evans, yesterday I was saying that the targets are challenging for | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
Wales. Now, the 27 medals are looking really difficult to achieve. | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
It is a real shame. It was such a great start to the Commonwealth | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Games. And by contrast, Scotland are having a fabulous start to the | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
games. But that is what happens. You should remember that you only come | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
together as the home nations every four years. Then the athletes spring | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
out into Wales and Guernsey and Jersey and everything. I think there | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
is a wider problem. But yes, for the Welsh team, it must be devastating. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
It is not totally negative. We have got some athletics coming up, so it | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
is a great time to ask you both, integrated games, is that how you | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
like it? For the size of the Commonwealth Games, it is great. You | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
could not do it with the Olympics because it would be too big. But I | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
am looking forward to seeing Dave Weir race. There will be some good | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
track racing. And for you, Steve? Mo Farah pulled out. That was a | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
disappointment. I think the highlight on the track might be the | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
men's 800, with David Rudisha from 2012. And the women's 1500m, with my | :06:48. | :07:02. | |
Laura. We have some great British female middle-distance runners. | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
Thank you both for coming in. Let's head back to the pool and rejoin | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Clare. We were listening to that | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
discussion. But we now have a final coming up which has two English | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
medal contenders, Chris Walker-Hebborn and Liam Tancock. | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
Liam Tancock swung very fast in the semifinal. This is the 100m | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
backstroke final. Can he come roaring back? I hope so. Liam has | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
been injured a lot over the past 18 months. He had problems with the | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
shoulders. He was not quite on four when qualifying. It was nice | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
yesterday not necessarily for Chris, but nice to see Liam back on form | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
and being the top British guy again. It will be a close race. They are | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
used to racing each other now, so I think they will use that. When | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
people see Chris walk ahead, they should know that he has a thing for | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
tattoos. He gets a new tattoo every time. I don't know what it says | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
across his chest, whether it is Latin words. He is going for the | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
David Beckham look. He has got the physique for it. Use it while you | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
have got it. I have two tattoos, what are you trying to say? I was | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
not aiming that at you! Liam Tancock used to share with James Gibson, who | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
is now his coach, which is a great relationship. I see him improving a | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
lot. James has changed the way he trains. When you do get older, you | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
can't push your body the way you used to when you were younger. When | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
you were younger, all those miles you have done were not in the tank. | :09:01. | :09:10. | |
So he needs to train smarter. I think his injuries have forced him | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
to train smarter. I think he has learned how to race it properly. We | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
know Scotland are already having a fabulous Commonwealth Games in the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
pool. Three medals for them. But England got their first gold medal | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
in the pool tonight, courtesy of Ben Proud, which does make a difference. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Definitely. It gets the ball rolling. We saw that Rihanna, and | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
now there seems to be a haul of them. What do you think it is that | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
is suddenly making the home nations' swimming so strong? | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
Normally a fake, both games, you just hear the Australian national | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
anthem on repeat. Which is lovely, but now Scotland and England are | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
winning medals. How come? We did not have the best Olympics ever and we | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
struggled at the championships last year. So it is nice to be back on | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
form. They have a new performance director, new head coach. They have | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
made the athletes realise, we want to be on that podium. They have | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
instilled a bit of belief into the team. It is hard when you are | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
standing next to someone like Ryan Lochte and thinking, how are we | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
going to do this 's but these guys are not afraid. Dan Wallace was not | :10:36. | :10:49. | |
scared. I think it is also the Adlington effect. All these 18, 19 | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
and 20-year-olds were right at the period six years ago when you were | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
winning in Beijing. That was when they were deciding whether this was | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
the life they wanted. You can be as talented as you like, but you have | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
to go through with it to reach this stage. This is the one Scottish | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
swimmer in this final. But we have two men from England. Let's hand you | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
back to the commentators. You join us with Josh Beever in lane | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
six, fourth fastest qualifier for this final. He set a lifetime best | :11:27. | :11:43. | |
in the heats to qualify. A great opportunity for Chris | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
Walker-Hebborn. He was sixth in Delhi on the 100th. | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
Liam Tancock, world record holder, 50m backstroke. Has been injured. Is | :11:54. | :12:05. | |
he back on form and has he had enough time to rid you break? That | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
is the big question. -- time to recuperate. But it is Chris | :12:12. | :12:32. | |
Walker-Hebborn's moment. Could be a sneaky podium for Treffers. | :12:33. | :12:45. | |
Who knows about Tancock? Let's wait and see. Supreme concentration here. | :12:46. | :12:59. | |
The final of the men's 100m backstroke. The fastest seed is | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
Mitch Larkin of Australia, in the centre. A good start for Liam | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
Tancock in the blackout. -- black hat. | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
I think it is going to be Walker-Hebborn at the 50m mark. The | :13:22. | :13:33. | |
two outside swimmers are in the top positions right now. Lane three | :13:34. | :13:44. | |
really powering ahead. Walker-Hebborn is powering away. | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
England are going to get their second gold medal of the night. A | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
great swim from Chris Walker-Hebborn. A brilliant gold to | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
England. Silver to Mitch Larkin of Australia, and Liam Tancock has come | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
back from injury and got a bronze medal. What a great swim on the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Englishmen, gold and bronze. Walker-Hebborn and Tancock. It is | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
fantastic that we got Walker-Hebborn to fulfil some of that potential. | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
Another best time, to take the gold medal. And it is a tidy bronze with | :14:23. | :14:32. | |
Josh Beever -- a tidy bronze. Andy, you said he won by quite a | :14:33. | :15:26. | |
way. And I think that distance was asserted at the 50m point. This guy | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
came out really strongly off the turn. He is soaking it in now. We | :15:31. | :15:43. | |
have talked about how you don't want to think about it until now, the | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
point when it is over and you have got your victory. He looked very | :15:48. | :16:00. | |
calm indeed. We have two English medallists is talking to Sharron | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
Davies. Liam just said to me that he has got | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
to do his hair before I can talk to him. Well done! Thank you very much. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
Absolutely over the moon. A bit emotional, speechless. Today was | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
your day. You knew you had that in there, it was just a matter of | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
getting it to work when the time mattered. Which is usually a huge | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
downfall of mine. But I want to say thanks to my mum and dad. And | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
obviously, it is great to have Liam back. Scared me a bit yesterday, and | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
it is hard racing at this sort of time, but I had a few things up my | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
sleeve this evening. I was absolutely pumped. And Dave McNulty | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
as well, because the Bath squad are doing so well and it is rubbing off. | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
Definitely. It helps when you see your scored doing so well. -- your | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
squad. And so nice to see you back. Tough year last year. That medal was | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
just guts and determination. Joo-Ho it's been a tough couple of years. | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
There's plenty of fight left in this old dog yet. Just to be making this | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
team was something special. Tried to come away with a medal. That's | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
pretty amazing. It's nice to be here in front of this massive home crowd. | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
Everyone's going wild. Great to see two Englishmen on the top of the | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
podium. We will see ladies now. Well done. | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
We are going to see some ladies, fast ones indeed. Here is the | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
defending champion in this women's 100m butterfly final. She goes in | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
lane three. She qualified third fast every. -- fastest. Savard goes in | :17:52. | :18:05. | |
five. In lane four, well what a mete she's having already Siobhan Marie | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
O'Connor of England. She's qualified fastest for the final here. A big | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
moment for her. It's about belief, I think. Yesterday, she was surprised | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
and excited to get those two silvers. Right now she's got to | :18:25. | :18:32. | |
believe she can get the gold. Against Alicia Coutts, the great | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
Australian champion, five gold medals in Delhi. Well, I think she's | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
got a chance for gold. The three medallists returning from Delhi. | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
Coutts got the gold. Gandy the silver, Lowe the bronze for Wales. | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
The fastest qualifier for this final of the 100m butterfly is O'Connor. | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
She's had by far the best start in the centre in the black hat. She | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
always does. For somebody so young, really tall emted off the blocks -- | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
talented off the blocks. Coutts in the yellow cap just going out of | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
shot there is going to be a real challenger. Turn, around the wall. | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
Good under water. Coutts all over. Almost on her side. This is going to | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
be a battle. Can she hold on? The charge is now going to come. Savard | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
of Canada one lane closer to us in the white hat is coming back. Coutts | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
in the yellow cap. Still it's O'Connor. She's just about got it. | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
It's very tight. Maybe Savard of Canada. The final stroke it is | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
Savard of Canada, is it? Yes, it is. Savard of Canada wins the Gold | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
Medal. Emma McKeon gets the bronze. Canada | :19:55. | :20:08. | |
win gold in the pool. Goodness me. That was very close indeed. Siobhan | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
Marie O'Connor what a great swim. A new lifetime best for her. And very | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
nearly winning the gold on the 100 fly. The surprise for me is Coutts | :20:19. | :20:29. | |
finishing in fourth. Well beaten as well really. First three medallists, | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
you're right, O'Connor, 0. 05 away. Really good arm placement. Hands | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
really close at the front. Here's the finish. | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
Coutts, I thought she would be the threat. All three women finishing on | :20:51. | :21:03. | |
a full stroke. Although... Savard the faster fin Esher. You have to | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
say -- Finisher. O'Connor has gone into the final of the Commonwealth | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
Games in the fastest lane and swap a lifetime best in the final. That's | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
all you can do. If someone else was faster, well so be it. That's what's | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
happened. Very good swim. Her third Silver Medal in only two days now. | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
More to come. I'm looking forward to the 200 medley. | :21:32. | :22:00. | |
I think we've got Siobhan with Sharron Davies. | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
I was willing you to pull that last stroke over, just a bit faster. | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
Yeah. I mean, yeah, gutting to lose by that much, not lose, come second. | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
That was, I'm really happy with that time. It was a great time. I know | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
it's going to be such a close race. 100, such a small margin. I'm | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
chuffed. Great collection of silver medals and 200 IM to come. We | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
chatted about that, it's the one you're looking forward to. Yeah, | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
that's my favourite event. That's the one, like I said, close toast my | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
heart. I -- closest to my heart. I want to give that a go. Due have a | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
massive -- did you have a massive smile after the 100 metres | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
backstroke. You must have been inspired by what Chris did in the | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
water there? Yeah, definitely. It was great. I was sit thering and | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
kind of screaming a little bit. It was great. He deserved it. He | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
trained so hard. It's great. We've had a great mete for Bath. Yeah | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
chuffed to bits. Very well done. See you later in the week. | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
What a night of swimming and a great triumph there again and a Silver | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
Medal for England. That's three silvers for Siobhan. That's. Place | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
to start talking. Claire's had to whiz off to do her highlights show. | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
I will talk to Mark and Rebecca there. What about that, it was | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
another Silver Medal on a night of brilliant performances from both | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
England and Scotland and a Welsh medal to boot. Not a bad night at | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
It's been all. A phenomenal night. Started off with Wallace on the 400 | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
individual medley, well Ben Proud, first, taking my British record by | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
half a second. It's nice to see that. He's gone on to great things. | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
Seeing Dan Wallace in the individual medley. Fantastic performances in | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
the pool. It's one of those things, when you get good performances, the | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
rest of the team seem to back it up. The Aussies aren't dominating here | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
like possibly people thought. Rebecca, has it been better than you | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
expected? I think it's better than anyone expected. The crowd here is | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
incredible. The atmosphere is there for these athletes, no matter who | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
they r, the crowd is there supporting them and we've just had a | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
great night. It's great to England have got a few gold medals, because | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
Scotland were leading the way there. Tonight, it's great to get two | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
English gold medals to add to the medal haul. Dan Wallace is the | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
highlight for the host nation, brilliant performance, not | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
anticipated really. No, the thing is after the heats this morning, we | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
thought he was in with a shout. Coming in, you have an entry sheet, | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
coming in on times that have been done this year. He was top three. | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
When we saw his heat and then we saw Thomas Fraser-Walker doing what he | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
did, it was set up for him. Being set up and actually doing it are two | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
different things. He's been training in the States this year, had great | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
performances. We have saw it with Siobhan just then -- we saw it with | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
Siobhan just then. A medal ceremony is going to happen shortly. Are we | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
looking at a stage where we can be encouraged about British swimming in | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
the future. Brilliant performances by young swimmers from Scotland and | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
England as well, as we said and Wales. Is it a time to be happy and | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
look forward? Because it wasn't that great at London 2012, was it? No, it | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
wasn't. I think especially from worlds last year, we only got one | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
medal with Fran Halsall. It's nice to see the swimmers back up there | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
from all the home nations. It's great leading into Rio. What I | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
really like we've seen the veterans, Fran Halsall and Liam Tancock, which | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
people know, but we have the new guys coming through, which is great. | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
It certainly is. It's a good time to hand over now to Andrew and Adrian | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
to describe the ceremony for us with two Englishmen on there, Liam | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
Tancock and Chris Walker-Hebborn. Thank you, Gary. There is Liam | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
Tancock receiving his bronze medal, tied for the bronze with Josh Beaver | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
from Australia. Good to see Liam back. He spent a long time out | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
injured. It's not easy to get your head back into it after such a long | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
time out, but swap it really well, to come back and get a Commonwealth | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
bronze is brilliant. They didn't for a while understand what was wrong | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
with him, hip and shoulder. He had to go to quite a number of lengths | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
to find out what was wrong with him and then didn't quite have enough | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
work, but good to see him on the podium. Tancock gets the bronze. | :26:43. | :26:53. | |
Tied with Josh Beaver. The silver to Mitch Larkin of Australia. But | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
before this race, I really thought it was wide-open, anyone could have | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
taken it. It was really focussing on the process, focussing on exactly | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
your own race pace, your race tactics. Larkin did well. But the | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
gentleman in the centre there, his life is about to change forever, I'm | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
sure of that. Chris Walker-Hebborn of England. He was fourth in Delhi | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
on the 200, sixth in Delhi at the Commonwealth Games in the 100m, now | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
it is Chris Walker-Hebborn Commonwealth champion men's 100m | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
backstroke, a new Commonwealth Games record, gold to England, gold to | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
Walker-Hebborn. The tattoo on his chest Latin which | :27:40. | :27:51. | |
says "From water to glory". Here he goes. | :27:52. | :28:00. | |
It was wide-open. He concentrated. He did the job and in the end, it | :28:01. | :28:08. | |
wasn't that close, you know. 0. 47 of a second. Nearly half a second | :28:09. | :28:10. | |
victory. # Walk upon England's | :28:11. | :28:18. | |
mountains green # On England's pleasant | :28:19. | :28:29. | |
pastures seen? APPLAUSE | :28:30. | :29:33. | |
Moments that will live with him forever, Chris Walker-Hebborn, the | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
Gold Medal in the men's 100m backstroke, a new Commonwealth Games | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
record 53. 12. Really took it out well in that second 50, masterful. | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
Silver to Mitch Larkin of Australia. And equal bronze Josh Beaver of | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
Australia and Liam Tancock is back. Liam on the right-hand side this | :29:54. | :30:02. | |
afternoon shot. 53. 53.75 for his first major champion after injury. | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
He just needs to get some work into his body. He's 29. Well, Rio, I'm | :30:07. | :30:17. | |
sure, is in his sights again. I don't think he will have got too | :30:18. | :30:22. | |
disspirited. He's kept going through. It was a tough injury. It's | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
one thing being injured. It's another thing trying to work out | :30:26. | :30:36. | |
exactly what it is. He's a great inspiration to a number of athletes, | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
swimmers I know in the Great Britain set up. In Two English medals. I did | :30:40. | :30:55. | |
not expect that. I knew they both had the quality, but did not expect | :30:56. | :31:09. | |
two of them on the podium. Did you? Know, I didn't! | :31:10. | :31:16. | |
Two Australians as well. I did expect that. Exactly. Let's not | :31:17. | :31:29. | |
forget, there is still one more race to go this evening, a really big | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
relay, in which we will see two of the fastest men in the world from | :31:35. | :31:41. | |
Australia in the 100m freestyle. James Gibson is on the right. And | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
his new prot?g?, Mr Tancock. It is good to see James Gibson going | :31:47. | :32:11. | |
through. He cut his teeth in coaching. He has been coaching in | :32:12. | :32:19. | |
Marseille. He has seen the Dutch setup, learning from the best. They | :32:20. | :32:31. | |
are in the wrong order. When you win, you really want to be in the | :32:32. | :32:44. | |
right place, which is the middle. These are great times. Very | :32:45. | :32:46. | |
reminiscent of the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh. The crowd of a | :32:47. | :32:51. | |
close to the pool. You don't always get the opportunity to have them so | :32:52. | :32:58. | |
close. It really is a brilliant time. Well done, gentlemen. Gold and | :32:59. | :33:06. | |
bronze in the 100m backstroke at the Commonwealth Games. What a night we | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
have had, Dan Wallace winning gold in that brilliant 400m individual | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
medley. Let's not forget the start of the evening, Ben Proud winning | :33:14. | :33:21. | |
the butterfly. It is interesting to pick up on what they were talking | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
about in the studio. The British setup was not good at London, really | :33:26. | :33:30. | |
disappointing. And in the last two years, the Scots and the Welsh and | :33:31. | :33:40. | |
the British have done very well. They had a new performance director. | :33:41. | :33:48. | |
Some key roles for new coaches. A fantastic new setup is really paying | :33:49. | :33:53. | |
dividends. Close at to us, Chris Walker-Hebborn of England. And next | :33:54. | :34:00. | |
to him, Liam Tancock. Very good swimming from the Englishmen, gold | :34:01. | :34:06. | |
and bronze. Great pictures at the pool and a | :34:07. | :34:12. | |
fabulous atmosphere. Everyone in that arena is enjoying some great | :34:13. | :34:18. | |
swimming. Rebecca and Mark, probably some great memories for yourselves, | :34:19. | :34:21. | |
walking around and parading medals? Were just talking about that. I | :34:22. | :34:25. | |
asked Becky what was the middle that meant the most to her. For me, it | :34:26. | :34:31. | |
was 1990 in Auckland, when I was not expected to do anything and I got a | :34:32. | :34:36. | |
bronze medal after working fitting double glazing windows. It meant | :34:37. | :34:39. | |
more to me than any other medal. I asked her, or did you do 's she | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
said, Midlands Championships. I was joking. Chilly Beijing! | :34:45. | :34:56. | |
They really is the support network that get you here. We have seen some | :34:57. | :35:02. | |
great young talent. We saw young Englishman Ben Proud. That was | :35:03. | :35:08. | |
amazing. He stuck to his own race, and that is what we have seen more | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
and more this week, people just raising their own races. People at | :35:12. | :35:17. | |
home might be thinking, surely that is what they always do, but you get | :35:18. | :35:22. | |
caught up in who you are next to. You don't focus on what you have | :35:23. | :35:28. | |
been doing in training. Ben has no choice but to stick to his routine | :35:29. | :35:35. | |
because he can't see anyone else. In some of the races, you see people | :35:36. | :35:40. | |
looking around, trying to get themselves from other people, going | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
completely off their race plan and going too fast or too slow. It is a | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
great learning curve for people who have not been in an international | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
competition before. They have been coming thick and fast. Daniel | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
Wallace, a brilliant swim from him. Phenomenal. Amazingly executed. And | :35:58. | :36:06. | |
on home turf, it went crazy. We have still got the relay tonight, but the | :36:07. | :36:14. | |
end of the night has been the best for me, with Liam Tancock and Chris | :36:15. | :36:18. | |
Walker-Hebborn doing so well. I can't wait to see what the rest of | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
the week holds. There is one more relay to come tonight but tomorrow | :36:24. | :36:29. | |
night, we have the 100 breaststroke and Fran Halsall in the 50 | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
freestyle, so it comes thick and fast on all levels. It has been | :36:34. | :36:39. | |
great stuff. Let's rejoin our commentators, Andrew and Adrian. | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
Well, Gary, I will just let the crowd noise died down. Here is the | :36:44. | :37:11. | |
English team. Can they get anywhere near this Australian team? They have | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
set a very interesting order. I would not have done that. | :37:17. | :37:34. | |
Three changes from the heats this morning, Andy. Robbie Renwick will | :37:35. | :37:46. | |
be leading the Scottish team. To your left is Magnusson, just going | :37:47. | :37:48. | |
out of shot. The final of the men's 4 x 100 | :37:49. | :38:14. | |
metres freestyle relay. Adam Brown of England has a big job to do. | :38:15. | :38:20. | |
Robbie Renwick of Scotland in three. Wales go in eight. | :38:21. | :38:45. | |
My goodness me, that guy is powerful. He is starting to swim | :38:46. | :38:52. | |
away. This is really impressive stuff. Very strong indeed. Chad Le | :38:53. | :38:59. | |
Clos from South Africa is going to lead. That is very good indeed. That | :39:00. | :39:15. | |
time puts Chad Le Clos sixth fastest in the world this year. He has put | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
his team in a great position. Everyone was thinking the | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
Australians could have this sewn up, but actually, they are all over it. | :39:24. | :39:25. | |
The English are well endowed. The two big Australians are now | :39:26. | :39:32. | |
coming in. South Africa one, Australia two, | :39:33. | :39:57. | |
England three. South Africa one, Australia two, | :39:58. | :40:14. | |
are getting excited. There are whole bunch of them in the crowd. This is | :40:15. | :40:19. | |
unusual. This would be one of the most | :40:20. | :40:33. | |
amazing relays. South Africa are hanging in. Looks like it is going | :40:34. | :40:40. | |
to be very close, with 100m to go. South Africa lead, Australia second, | :40:41. | :40:43. | |
England just in third, Scotland in fourth. Surely McEvoy will not give | :40:44. | :40:52. | |
this up. We have seen some great freestyle | :40:53. | :40:58. | |
swimmers lose it in the relay. The Australian saw his women's team | :40:59. | :41:20. | |
break the record in their 400 metre relay. Looks like the Australians | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
will take the men's as well. It is gold to Australia, silver to South | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
Africa. England get the bronze, but a very impressive swim from | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
Australia, as it was for South Africa. Very good indeed. Another | :41:35. | :41:40. | |
medal for the English, this time a bronze. What an evening Ben Proud | :41:41. | :41:50. | |
has had. But once we got to halfway, it was all over. That was impressive | :41:51. | :42:03. | |
from the Australians. The South Africans put their best swimmers at | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
the front, hoping to get the lead and scare them a bit. I don't think | :42:07. | :42:14. | |
the Australians get scared on the 4 x 100. South Africa hung in so | :42:15. | :42:22. | |
long. I was very impressed with them. Chad Le Clos is a 200 fly | :42:23. | :42:31. | |
swimmer. Shows the class of the fly swimmers, come on! You were good at | :42:32. | :42:41. | |
fly and freestyle. I was OK. It was your breaststroke that was the dodgy | :42:42. | :42:48. | |
one. I leave that to the girls. Very good. | :42:49. | :43:00. | |
The splits are very interesting. Magnusson did a 47.4 and McEvoy | :43:01. | :43:07. | |
47.9. Another gold for Australia, but a | :43:08. | :43:39. | |
gold and bronze for Ben Proud. I can see those headlines in the English | :43:40. | :43:43. | |
papers, Ben did us proud. Thank to all at the pool. Plenty more medals | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
tomorrow. We are going to concentrate on boxing for the rest | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
of the show. I am delighted to welcome Commonwealth champion Barry | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
McGuigan. You won a gold medal back in 1978. | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
Great memories, best time of my amateur career. I had a couple of | :44:00. | :44:12. | |
controversial decisions, but this was one I was surprised, but | :44:13. | :44:17. | |
blighted with. Genuinely surprised -- but delighted. He hit me harder | :44:18. | :44:25. | |
than I had ever been hit as an amateur. A great experience. I had | :44:26. | :44:31. | |
just turned 17, and winning the gold medal and being presented by Prince | :44:32. | :44:35. | |
Philip was wonderful. It is a great way of reducing young talent. | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
Without a doubt, and it is not as hard as the Olympics, but it is very | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
close and it is good exposure. You are the BBC give it a fat form of | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
exposure. For many, it is a chance for many to move on to a | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
professional career or things like the World Championships and | :44:55. | :44:58. | |
Olympics. I know you have been at the boxing all day and we showed a | :44:59. | :45:03. | |
fight earlier between Andrew Selby and Reese McFadden which was | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
controversial in many ways. Number one in the world, Selby, turns up | :45:08. | :45:11. | |
with an ill fitting gumshield, expects to beat the guy compounds of | :45:12. | :45:16. | |
the common 19-year-old from Scotland, Reese McFadden. He hit it | :45:17. | :45:26. | |
into the crowd, so they put it back in, and watch what happens. He gets | :45:27. | :45:29. | |
a public wanting, and then it comes out again. It is incomprehensible. | :45:30. | :45:36. | |
These guys are on 30 or 40 grand a year. They are looked after | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
completely. It is a really professional setup in Sheffield, and | :45:41. | :45:50. | |
look at the arrogance. And he lost. The truth is that young McFadden | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
beat him clearly anyway, but to turn up with an ill fitting gumshield... | :45:55. | :46:00. | |
Whose fault was that? It is the boxer, first and foremost. And then | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
the manager and the coaches should be making sure he does not turn up | :46:05. | :46:11. | |
with a gumshield that does not fit. He should have known whether it | :46:12. | :46:15. | |
fitted. These are professional setup and they are made properly, so I | :46:16. | :46:19. | |
can't understand. Wales are having a bad time across the board. Yes. Fred | :46:20. | :46:27. | |
Evans got involved in a bit of a fisticuffs. It has not been a happy | :46:28. | :46:35. | |
camp. We are going to show you possibly the fight of the day. It | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
involves London 2012 bronze medallist Michael Conlon. The | :46:40. | :46:42. | |
bantamweight from Northern Ireland is the man to beat. Today he faced | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
Mathew Martin of the ayes have it, the ayes have it. We join it at the | :46:47. | :46:50. | |
start of the second round. -- Mathew Martin of Nauru. | :46:51. | :46:56. | |
Northern Ireland in blue, Michael Conlan in his second Commonwealth | :46:57. | :47:02. | |
Games. Lost four years ago in Delhi in the quarter finals to Jason | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
Maloney on the old computer scoring system. It was ten apiece. Maloney | :47:08. | :47:15. | |
was judged to have judged to have landed more punches. | :47:16. | :47:21. | |
A faint there. Just warming up to his | :47:22. | :47:35. | |
The problem for Martin here, his feet are too slow. What he's doing | :47:36. | :47:43. | |
ises he has got good -- doing is he has good movements, and range of | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
movement with his jab. The movement is much better from the Northern | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
Irishman. Martin has step on the gas and get those feet into range. | :47:54. | :48:06. | |
Martin under pressure now from Michael Conlan. Looking strong and | :48:07. | :48:18. | |
pretty muscular at 56 kilograms. Now to the south paw. That shows his | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
confidence. These are powerful shots going in from him. Good display up | :48:23. | :48:30. | |
till now for Conlan A good right hand and another one. He's under | :48:31. | :48:34. | |
pressure. He's going to get a standing out count, the first of the | :48:35. | :48:38. | |
tournament. Michael Conlan has warmed up. A glance across to the | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
corner to see what his dad John was thinking. He's just indicated to | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
keep it going. I think he's hurt there. I think he is too. | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
Those body shots have taken all the steam out of him. Good right from | :48:52. | :49:00. | |
Martin. Another standing count is coming up This is here. Near the end | :49:01. | :49:06. | |
now. Conlan if he's going to win gold here, he may have to box four | :49:07. | :49:15. | |
or five times. He's letting it go on. There was a pretty good case for | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
stopping this. You don't want the man to take too many hard shots. But | :49:21. | :49:24. | |
it's the body shots that are really hurting. Very accurate Conlan. | :49:25. | :49:30. | |
Looking impressive. The referee should be stepping in here. I think | :49:31. | :49:37. | |
so. He has bigger fish to fry. If, and we assume he will win this one, | :49:38. | :49:42. | |
he has the excellent Indian boxer next. That will be a lot more | :49:43. | :49:45. | |
difficult. Big bunches down stairs to the body, hurting this fella -- | :49:46. | :49:55. | |
punches. Easy opening round by Conlan and just put the foot on the | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
gas a bit. He might have liked it to have been finished. But he will | :50:00. | :50:05. | |
settle for another round. Just went through the gears here was the body | :50:06. | :50:08. | |
shots doing all the damage. Boxing as a south pause. Threes and | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
four-punch combinations from Conlan. Good head shots here. Three, four | :50:13. | :50:18. | |
shots going in there. Hitting the target. | :50:19. | :50:26. | |
Pretty comprehensive that second round. | :50:27. | :50:31. | |
He's miles ahead. Let's hope those eyebrows hold up and let's hope all | :50:32. | :50:38. | |
the eyebrows hold up. I was talking to somebody over breakfast and | :50:39. | :50:42. | |
recall in the last three Olympics, only one contest was stopped because | :50:43. | :50:45. | |
of a cut eye. That was down to the head gear. We'll do well if there | :50:46. | :50:53. | |
was only one cut without the head guards. Conlan once again going down | :50:54. | :50:59. | |
stairs with that left hand of his. The guard is held high. He's leaving | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
a gap between his elbow and his ribs. He's got a decision to make | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
here, Conlan. Does he see out the round and just box on the outside | :51:08. | :51:10. | |
now and save his energy or does he go for the stoppage? That's what he | :51:11. | :51:18. | |
has to decide on. He's got this one in the bag unless the wheels come | :51:19. | :51:25. | |
off. Oh, there's a cut. Oh, my Lord. Just as Unbelievable. We were | :51:26. | :51:29. | |
talking about it. What a cut. That is dreadful. Was that a clash of | :51:30. | :51:34. | |
heads? There is the perfect case for having head guards in amateur | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
boxing. This is one of the Gold Medal favourites. They're not | :51:40. | :51:41. | |
allowed to stitch it in between contests. I think it's eye on the | :51:42. | :51:47. | |
head actually. That's not so bad. It's running into the eye that's the | :51:48. | :51:52. | |
prob -- problem. I thought it was his eyebrow that had gone. That | :51:53. | :51:55. | |
would have been calamitous for Michael Conlan and for Northern | :51:56. | :52:00. | |
Ireland. Conlan has got to just box at distance and at range and stay | :52:01. | :52:03. | |
out of the way of this fellow. This guy will come with everything. He | :52:04. | :52:06. | |
will try to rub heads again, worsen the cut. Conlan has to box clever | :52:07. | :52:12. | |
here. It doesn't look as if it's got any worse. He must be a pretty | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
instant healer. We've got a couple of minutes to go toward the end of | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
this round. Psychologically, it's a big plus for the youngster because | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
he will have seen that and start pushing forward. Yes Martin now just | :52:26. | :52:31. | |
going to go for it. He's two rounds down. It's a case of one boxer | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
really going for it and the other keeping his distance and boxing at | :52:36. | :52:38. | |
range. I think every Northern Ireland heart just about stopped | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
there, when they saw that stream of blood running down Michael Conlan's | :52:43. | :52:47. | |
face. But as you rightly observed, it's somewhere around the hair line. | :52:48. | :52:56. | |
He's asking him to go to his neutral corner. Is there another cut? No, | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
it's a swelling above the eye there. Oh, deary me. That's what they used | :53:02. | :53:10. | |
to call a mouse, but that was under the eye. Why it was called a mouse, | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
I will never know. A big A serious mouse. Rodent, that one. A minute to | :53:15. | :53:19. | |
go. Conlan cut, but in control. But his confidence must have been | :53:20. | :53:22. | |
shattered a bit. You can't help thinking, is this cut serious? Well, | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
it probably will require a few stitches. If it's high on the head, | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
it won't be too much a problem. Conlan has got the experience to box | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
at distance. But Martin has really got to go for it. Again, slow feet | :53:37. | :53:39. | |
from Martin. He's got to quicken it up. He's tired, very tired. He's | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
lunging and lumbering forward. Conlan's fitness is, without | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
question, oh, good work by Conlan. Yeah picked him off nicely with the | :53:52. | :53:58. | |
left. A couple of good right hands. Conlan is winning this despite that | :53:59. | :54:01. | |
can yous starting to ooze a bit. Yes, he's got the contest won. A | :54:02. | :54:12. | |
appreciative round of applause from the crowd here. They do love their | :54:13. | :54:16. | |
boxing, whether it's with or without vests. Great finish by Conlan. And | :54:17. | :54:23. | |
there's no doubt he's won this. He goes over to the corner and says | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
thank you very much indeed. But they'll get him back and have a good | :54:28. | :54:33. | |
look at him. Good performance there from Conlan. | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
He boxed sense blip in the last round. Look at the heads here. | :54:37. | :54:43. | |
That's where the damage was done. Accidental clash of heads. Martin | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
had nothing to lose coming forward. Heads clash, cut high on the head, | :54:49. | :54:53. | |
thankfully for Conlan. Then he boxed at distance, boxed at range. Ladies | :54:54. | :55:06. | |
and gentleman, your appreciation for both boxers in the ring. | :55:07. | :55:13. | |
APPLAUSE By unanimous decision into the next | :55:14. | :55:16. | |
round, in the blue corner, representing Northern Ireland, | :55:17. | :55:23. | |
Michael Conlan! 3-0 for Michael Conlan. | :55:24. | :55:31. | |
Overall he won it at a canter. A pretty comprehensive victory, but | :55:32. | :55:44. | |
they will be nervous about that cut. Michael, how pleased were you after | :55:45. | :55:47. | |
that convincing performance in round one? I was happy to get the ring, | :55:48. | :55:56. | |
first time in the ring since March. I've only had two weeks sparring for | :55:57. | :55:59. | |
this competition. I'm feeling good. I'm back to my best. I was glad to | :56:00. | :56:05. | |
be first out. And to get Northern Ireland on the How worried map. Were | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
you after the clash of heads? I thought it was a cut in my eye. But | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
then when I realise today was on my head, I didn't know until after the | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
fight, at the start I was worried because I felt the trickle down into | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
my eye. I couldn't see. I thought he'd hurt me, but it was his head. | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
After that, I felt OK and felt in control. I'm sure you've been | :56:29. | :56:34. | |
waiting four years to make up for the disappointment in the last | :56:35. | :56:38. | |
Commonwealth Games? Yeah Delhi you know, I cried in the airport, I'll | :56:39. | :56:43. | |
admit that. I was really disappointed then, now I'm back. | :56:44. | :56:47. | |
Back near Glasgow, 2014, I'm going to take the gold. You've had great | :56:48. | :56:51. | |
experience since then, of course, a medal the the Olympic Games. I | :56:52. | :56:54. | |
imagine your eyes are on one thing here and that's gold. Yeah, bronze | :56:55. | :57:00. | |
in the Olympics, silver in the Europeans last year. Now the Gold | :57:01. | :57:05. | |
Medal at the Commonwealth Games. Well done. I'm sure he will go well | :57:06. | :57:08. | |
in the Commonwealth Games. More young talent from your neck of the | :57:09. | :57:15. | |
woods. Yeah, this kid is amazing. Olympic bronze medallist and him and | :57:16. | :57:20. | |
Selby, they've been competing at the highest level for the last number of | :57:21. | :57:24. | |
years. He got a growth spell and jumped up to 56 kilos. He's just | :57:25. | :57:29. | |
performing as good. Can that sometimes work against you? Yeah, it | :57:30. | :57:33. | |
happens. Most of these kids are struggling with their weight from | :57:34. | :57:39. | |
they're 15 years old. Suddenly their growth cycle slows down, then they | :57:40. | :57:43. | |
relax and put on a stone-and-a-half and grind themselves down to the | :57:44. | :57:46. | |
weight. He thought it safer to move up from 52 to 56, but he's ever bit | :57:47. | :57:52. | |
as confident, every bit as good. He's very aggressive. What you saw | :57:53. | :57:58. | |
in that fight against his south seas opponent, is that when he was caught | :57:59. | :58:01. | |
with that clash of heads, that he actually was able to switch from | :58:02. | :58:05. | |
being an aggressive combination puncher to boxing on the back foot. | :58:06. | :58:11. | |
He's a very complete fighter. This is the first time in Games in recent | :58:12. | :58:14. | |
times that we're not seeing head gear. That's It's great right. To | :58:15. | :58:18. | |
see their faces but they're getting cuts. I think it's worth it. You do? | :58:19. | :58:25. | |
Yeah, because there are various stories that the head guard is no | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
safer. It stops cuts, but it takes away the ability for guys to use | :58:30. | :58:32. | |
upper body movement and slip punches. I think it's not worth it | :58:33. | :58:37. | |
because what we saw today, we saw several cuts, but we saw head | :58:38. | :58:41. | |
movement and lateral movement and combinations, it adds a little bit | :58:42. | :58:44. | |
of skill to the game. You think they're possibly learning more | :58:45. | :58:46. | |
because this afternoon? Yeah, and they'll learn how to box and not get | :58:47. | :58:52. | |
cut, even though they're only, at the most, five bouts in the | :58:53. | :58:55. | |
Commonwealth Games. In the Olympics, it could be five, six, seven bouts. | :58:56. | :58:59. | |
They will have to get used to it. I think it's a plus taken the head | :59:00. | :59:04. | |
guard off. Stay where you are, just a reminder, action from day two | :59:05. | :59:07. | |
continues next on BBC Two. We will have more boxing and Jewo. Make that | :59:08. | :59:15. | |
channel change, if you -- Dujo, make that channel change if you want to. | :59:16. | :59:21. | |
-- Judo. That's all on BBC One tonight. It's another day in the sun | :59:22. | :59:24. | |
here in Glasgow. See you on the other side shortly. Bye for now. | :59:25. | :59:32. | |
