BBC One: Day 3: 12:15-15:00 Commonwealth Games

Glasgow and the 2014 Commonwealth Games. 29 gold medals to be won

today and if you are a rugby fan, perfect, the Rugby sevens is under

way and we have coverage of Scotland against New Zealand later this

afternoon. We can look at the medal table.

This is what is coming up this afternoon. It was all England in the

individual triathlon with Jodie Stimpson and Brownlee winning gold.

For the first time, the mixed team relay. On the track, Jess Varnish

will look for a good sprint finish in qualification. In squash, cam

Peter Barker stop England's Nick Matthew? We will bring you the best

of the quarterfinal action later. It is a big day for rugby fans in

Glasgow with the rugby sevens getting under way at Ibrox Park and

John Inverdale is there. 50,000 are here on a Saturday

morning, lunch time, for what is one of the noisiest events of the

Commonwealth Games. It will be an Olympic sport in a couple of years.

In an hour and a half, Scotland against New Zealand, who are the

defending champions and almost unbeatable in this form of rugby.

New Zealand have beaten Canada. Scotland up against it. It promises

to be a mouthwatering clash. On BBC Three, judo. And on the red

button, further coverage from the On BBC Three, judo. And on the red

swimming. A great afternoon. And you can

swimming. A great afternoon. And you going to the

The big event this mixed relay triathlon. We will build

up to that after the top stories. A mixed relay triathlon. We will build

gold medal in the swimming for England as Chris Walker-Hebborn and

Ben Proud did their country proud by England as Chris Walker-Hebborn and

breaking records. Two silver medals in the bag for the Welsh gymnast

Frankie Jones. Adding to her collection in the modern rhythmic

gymnastics. He was the flag bearer for Scotland, Euan Burton, winning

his bout. His wife, Gemma Gibbons, won over England. They both go for

gold later today. -- one for England. After the success of Jodie

Stimpson and Alistair Brownlee in the individual triathlon, attention

now turns to the mixed relay, the first time it has been held in

Commonwealth Games history. There is a good chance of home Nations

success. Into the water. You would expect a strong showing from Jodie

Stimpson. England, one, two, three. The Brownlee Brothers at the front

of proceedings. Lucy Hall having a go. Goodness me.

We have one down, followed by another. Jodie Stimpson. She gets on

her shoes and makes her way out of transition. Another break at the

front by the Brownlee brothers. Jodie Stimpson controlling the pace

of this race. Jodie Stimpson of England wins the first gold medal of

the Commonwealth Games! Bronze medal for Vicky Holland. Alistair Brownlee

and Jonathan have become separated. Alistair Brownlee, the Olympic

champion, is now the Commonwealth champion as well. Jonathan has

silver. It Jodie Stimpson has been doing

interviews over the past days, saying she wants another gold medal.

Will she get it in the mixed team relay? It is taking place in the

Strathclyde country Park. Oasis have played here. Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. You have to check out the crowds on what we have named

Brownlee Brae. The crowds will go mad that this event, because it is

the fastest-growing sport, and they will be doing super sprints. But the

event is also brand-new to the Commonwealth Games. Relatively new

on the international circuit. I have been to the World Championships and

it is a different ball game to the Olympic distance triathlon races we

saw on Thursday. They test endurance and string. The race today will be

primarily a test of speed. I am joined by Non Stanford, world

champion, and our commentator. This is four athletes, three disciplines,

two genders and one team. It will be girl boy, girl boy. Each athlete

will do a super Sprint triathlon before handing over. It will be a

swim, eight kilometre bike ride and a one mile run. It is fast and

furious. Britain are the most successful team in this event, being

world champion three times. Because of Welsh injuries, the latest team

was made up of England athletes, and we know what form they are in. It

makes it difficult for the other teams when the England team is made

up of four top athletes, fastest athletes in the world at the moment.

Can anyone challenge? It is difficult. Anything can go wrong in

triathlon, so we cannot overlook other countries. New Zealand, South

Africa, Australia, they have experienced athletes. You have been

under 23 world champion and also world champion in this event. We can

see the guide to how to win a mixed team relay.

The team order. Each triathletes does the circuit, a swim and I cried

and run. The decision for who is in the team and the order is important

and it is decided by team members and coaches. Gomez in the second leg

for Spain today. The start is important. It is keen that the first

athlete can swim with the front pack and ride with the front pack and

handover to the next athlete in the position. Reputations. Another

fabulous finish. Team England will be intimidating. Standing on the

starting line is difficult, starting next to people like Alistair

Brownlee. Fresh legs. Jodie Stimpson of England wins the first gold medal

of the games. The countries who have not been involved in the individual

event should use fresh legs to their advantage. The conditions were

brutal in the first event so that could have a bearing on how athletes

perform today. Speed. The team relay is fast and furious. Each has to

raise for 20 minutes, very different from the individual race which lasts

two hours. All of the small things will make a big difference, such as

transition and the handover, if you mess up in one of those the race

could be lost. This is more crucial in the team relay compared to the

individual event. Cool heads. Keeping your head in the relay is

crucial. You are under pressure to perform for your country and your

team-mates. A small mistake could cost the race. Once the athletes are

out on the course, there is little the support team can do other than

providing feedback for where they are. At the end of the day, the

athletes need to make the important decisions themselves.

I understand you have some breaking news.

Back to you shortly as you build up to the mixed relay. What a

Commonwealth Games for Frankie Jones. She has won five successive

silver medals in the rhythmic gymnastics and now she has a gold

medal in her final event, the ribbon. There was controversy. An

opponent appealed. But it has been confirmed Frankie Jones is the

winner, which is significant, because it has been a difficult

Commonwealth Games for team Wales with Rhys Williams and Fred Evans

not getting accreditation. -- with Rhys Williams, and with Fred Evans

not getting accreditation. More on that later. Back to you.

I have a happy Non Stanford hearing the news there has been another

medal for Wales. You spoke about tactics. You have been a champion in

the mixed relay, but you have crashed out of it, finding out the

hard way how unpredictable it can be. England are favourites, but not

guaranteed a medal. Definitely not. That is the beauty of the team

relay. Anything can happen. We were under pressure last year and a lapse

of concentration meant I crashed. Fingers crossed it does not happen

today. But anything can happen. The rest of the teams should not think

they cannot win because it is so unpredictable. We concentrate on

physical capability. But this is also a mental game. It is a key part

of the mixed relay, dealing with pressure. You are performing for

yourself and other people and your country. You must not make mistakes,

because it can cost the race. Looking at the starting list, can

anyone challenge? Many teams have fresh legs. There are teams with

experience. Some of the smaller teams, they did not have athletes in

the individual race, and they will be fresh. These distances are so

very different. 250 metres swim. Six kilometres on the bicycle and

very different. 250 metres swim. Six kilometres run, so we are not

talking about endurance. I am sure Alistair Brownlee and people like

him will adapt well, but the younger athletes might benefit from the

distances. The International Olympic Committee said they would not have

this event at 2016 because of money reasons. Today is an opportunity to

show the Olympic Committee what a success the team relay Camby and

perhaps have it in 2020? That success the team relay Camby and

aim to have the mixed relay in 2020 in Tokyo. It is a showcase

aim to have the mixed relay in 2020 in Tokyo. It is a event and

hopefully they will be watching. If you have not seen this event before,

you will be blown away with it. It is time for a fast and furious mixed

relay. Because it is going to be is time for a fast and furious mixed

fast, it is all hands on deck. I will hand you over to the triathlon

trio. A lovely afternoon here at the Strathclyde Country Park. Not as hot

as it was on Thursday. It is a little overcast. We are getting the

full line-ups. The Welsh team is being introduced. A revised line-up

due to the injuries to Non Stanford and Helen Jenkins. The English

line-up is the one everyone is talking about, they all have medals

already. There is Emma Moffat. She will be first off for Australia. It

is female, male, female, male. Everyone swims, bikes and runs over

the shorter distance before handing over to the next member of the team.

We will get four super sprint triathlon is competed before the

medals are decided. Andrea Hewitt from New Zealand, disappointed with

her performance in the individual race. Just missed a medal, she came

fourth. A chance to make up for it here. Teams are lined up, ready to

begin the Commonwealth Games mixed team relay for 2014. Red flags

raised. And they are way! 250 metres swim, fast and furious in the cool,

clear waters of the Strathclyde Country Park. Who will we expect to

see out front early on? 111 oh is well-known. -- Natalie Milne. She

will be a lot fresher. They will need a lot of energy, it is very

fast. Natalie Milne is first away for Scotland, she will hand -- hand

over to Grant Sheldon. David McNamee will take the anchor leg for the

host nation. Northern Ireland are presented by Aileen Reid, who will

hand over to Conor Murphy. Russell White and Ema Murphy are in the rest

of the team -- Eimear Murphy. They are approaching the turn. The first

to show is the key and. -- Vicky Holland. I was wondering if she

would be tired coming into this race. She worked so hard. Only 48

hours after the individual race, here she is, doing a great job. I

think Natalie Milne is beside her. A breakaway swim at the front. It is

only 250 metres long. Anyone who gets dropped in the first phase of

the triathlon will be up against it to make up the lost ground. Nine

swimmers will go in together. It will be spectacular. There is a

technical area where their team-mates are awaiting. They will

tag and run down the blue carpet before a ramp takes them up to

launch into the second leg. It is the most backpacking are part of

this relay, the changeover from runner to swimmer -- spectacular.

They are almost home. The last 25 to go. The Vicky Holland, Emma Moffat,

Andrea Hewitt, Kate Roberts. They are up near the front. The leader is

once again Vicky Holland from England. Living in Leeds, born in

Gloucester. Vicky Holland is first out of the water for England. Andrea

Hewitt is close behind. England first, Canada second with Kirsten

Sweetland. Natalie Milne is in good shape for Scotland. Northern

Ireland, Aileen Reid, not far off the pace. Emma Moffat, Vicky

Holland, they are picking up their bikes. There is Natalie Milne. Emma

Moffat is putting on her helmet. The Australians will be desperate for a

medal. England first, Canada second, New Zealand, South Africa, New

Zealand. Wales are 16 seconds off the pace. Carol Bridge going for

Wales. She is a nurse when she works full-time. A good swim from her, but

the bike will challenge her. This is where it the athletes try and put

daylight between themselves. That whether this is where the athletes.

Kirsten Sweetland, she is from Victoria. A silver medallist in the

individual race. She is the head of Vicky Holland. They are heading out

on the Solitaire a lap. It is a single loop. -- Solitaire a. --

solitary. Kirsten Sweetland pushing out here, making early speed. Vicky

Holland is tucked behind. They are away. They are well away. We saw

Emma Moffat, she did not have a great swim. A disappointing Games

for her. Let us see if they can bring back some of that time

difference between Kirsten Sweetland and Vicky Holland. Vicky Holland is

part of the British team who struck gold in hamburg. Lucy Hall was there

as well -- Hamburg. Only two out in front. This was Vicky Holland coming

out of the water. I think that step out of the water, they have to lift

themselves out, it is not that easy. They have to haul themselves up and

that makes it hard work. No wet suits, no salt water which can add

to the buoyancy. It is freshwater here. The water quality is pretty

clean. They have been monitoring it. All the athletes say the water here

is crystal clear. The organisers have done a great job. Quite

surprised to see these two out in front so early on. There is a 22nd

gap and it is fairly sizeable. -- two second gap. There is Emma

Moffat, Kate Roberts is with her. There is Aileen Reid and Natalie

Milne. Mark Austin from Scotland did well riding alongside the Brownlee

brothers in the individual race -- Marc Austin. Natalie Milne is

leading this group of five. Marc Austin. Natalie Milne is

Hewitt is calling for some hard work to try and bridge the gap to

believing pair as they climb. Vicky Holland took that they end

cautiously. You do not want to crash. That will be disappointing

for your team members. Aileen Reid is first to try and make a move

towards the leading pair. She has all the experience. She finished

sixth in the individual relay. She is originally from Lisburn.

sixth in the individual relay. She was living in Lisburn. Kirsten

Sweetland is still leading. They reached the summit. There is a

hairpin bend to negotiate. Vicky Holland almost made

hairpin bend to negotiate. Vicky barrier. The leaders are closing the

gap. Hard barrier. The leaders are closing the

concentration. That would be a disaster, because England are the

favourites. The second group went round the bend, it was a little bit

tight. This is when mistakes are tight. This is when mistakes are

made. Emma Moffat, trying to regain contact with the group. Someone was

dropped on the climb, Kirsten Sweetland. They are taking

their returns on the front. -- turns. It looks like Aileen Reid

from Northern Ireland is riding her socks off! That is awesome. She is

obviously not feeling the effects from Thursday. She finished in sixth

position in the individual event. Aileen Reid has her sights set on

joining the leading trio. She should be able to stay with them over the

mile on the run. She will hand over to Conor Murphy and he will fancy

his chances of staying for some of the way with Jonathan Brownlee. A

promising start and a great improvement for Aileen Reid, the

first to break away from the chasers and she will shortly join Kirsten

Sweetland and Vicky Holland from England. There is Jonathan Brownlee,

looking a bit anxiously, hoping she will get back in one piece. Conor

Murphy has been given every chance thanks to the fightback from Aileen

Reid. She will be with the leaders by the time they hit transition.

Vicky Holland has a bit of pace. Kirsten Sweetland responds. They

will swing right towards the transition area. I am surprise to CM

Moffat and Andrea Hewitt getting dropped already. -- surprised to see

Emma Moffat. The speed that they recover will vary. There is Matthew

Sharpe from Canada who will be happy to hear that Kirsten Sweetland is

well away with Vicky Holland and Aileen Reid not far behind. Shoes

being prepared for a quick arrival and transition. They will soon be on

the blue carpet. There is a separate area for them to lead their bikes.

Aileen Reid has gone back, she did make the break, but the chasing

group have responded and the gap is less. We will have 17 is coming in

in quick succession. The chasers are doing good work -- seven teams.

Holland and Kirsten Sweetland are only just in front. This has made it

much more open. Holland and Kirsten Sweetland come to the parking

positions and put on their running shoes. We have a group of seven, it

is wide open. Excitement for the Scottish supporters because Natalie

Milne is involved Kerstin Sweetland, striking for the

front first, with Vicky Holland on her shoulder. Aileen Reid, a good

ride from her. She encouraged the pack to fight their way back to the

leaders. Much of the improvement of the race as a whole, we have a group

of seven. It makes it more exciting, it is great to see them back again.

Sometimes it can hurt more than the longer distances because you have to

go at the top end pace and some of the athletes might not be used to

running this hard. Carol Bridge, from Wales, a good effort, but a

little bit off the pace. Carol Bridge, a little bit off the pace,

and she will hand over to Holly Lawrence, Morgan Davies and Liam

Lloyd. There are two laps, so they head back to transition after the

half mile stage and return for the second 800 metres lap. 1600 metres

in total. The athlete from Mauritius, on her way out of

transition. It is a good effort. She had to ride the six kilometres

course on her own, and that is pretty tough. A good effort for her.

Carol Bridge is also on her own. Natalie Milne, digging deep into her

reserves of energy, trying to keep tabs on the leaders.

Kerstin Sweetland is making a gap. In second place, Vicky Holland, from

England, not showing any sign of fatigue. That looks like the New

Zealand runner Hewitt in fourth place. Kerstin Sweetland, really

pushing them along. She hands over to Matthew Sharpe, who turned 23 on

Thursday. Emma Moffat is really struggling with the fast paced, one

mile run. Vicky Holland will not worry too much, knowing she is

handing over to one of the best in the world, Jonathan Brownlee.

Kerstin Sweetland hoping to give Matthew Sharpe a head start as he

dives into the water, which is looking more likely now. Hewitt,

handing over to Tony Dodd, the 27-year-old from New Zealand. Andrea

Hewitt, from Christchurch. Gillian Sanders from South Africa handing

over to Kenri Shoeman, a great swimmer. But the distance looks to

be 50 metres -- 15 metres. To make up the time is going to be very

hard. Aileen Reid, leading Vicky Holland, she will hand over to

Murphy. Kerstin Sweetland has a decent lead now over the trio.

With some of these athletes, as time goes on, they get warmed up will

stop they are endurance athletes, not used to racing over 20 minutes.

By the end, they will probably be raring to go. Canada will be first

to change if Kerstin Sweetland stays on her feet. She is really happy

over the short distance. Aileen Reid has run well and ridden well. Conor

Murphy has given a fighting chance after Aileen Reid's exceptional

triathlon. after Aileen Reid's exceptional

Brownlee will be able to catch Matthew Sharpe, but he will reel him

in during the six kilometres bike ride. I would expect Jonny Brownlee

to be in front or close to the front towards the end. Kerstin Sweetland

comes round and heads for the technical area. Matthew Sharpe is on

his way. We will pick him up as he dives into the water. He is closely

followed by Tony Dodds, the kiwi. And Jonathan Brownlee from England.

It looks like they will catch up with the dives, 20 metres out just

diving into the water. Some of them were practising this morning,

diving into the water. Some of them looking for extra time before they

hit the water. Kenri Shoeman, he is the best swimmer

hit the water. Kenri Shoeman, he is We can see if he can bring South

Africa close to the lead. There is a big gap. The girls were out

Africa close to the lead. There is a over three minutes, the boys will be

quicker. Matthew Sharpe a leading for Canada, having been given a

solid start by Kerstin Sweetland, but his lead has just narrowed.

Conor Murphy, from Northern Ireland. In third position, Jonathan Brownlee

of England. That is the gap to Kenri Shoeman,

who will be treating this as a Sprint swim -- Henri. They go

through the triangular turning routine. Matthew Sharpe, the

Canadian, on his way. The first time for this new format. Very short,

very fast racing. Pressure on the athletes not to let their country

down. When you race with other team members, there is more pressure.

Matthew Sharpe did not get the chance to race in the individual

event, left out of the team for the Canadiens. It was his birthday, so

difficult to swallow. The Mauritius have handed over. Interesting

tactics by some of the teams, some of the country is not putting

athletes in the individual event, hoping they will be stronger. But

with the England team, with four of the strongest athletes currently in

the world racing, it is difficult to beat them stop I would not put my

money against them. We have to hope they will get around on the bike.

Jonathan Brownlee has fought back towards the front of the field. He

will potentially have a group of five to ride with over six

kilometres. Matthew Sharpe of Canada is first out of the water, closely

followed by Jonathan Brownlee, and Conor Murphy of Northern Ireland is

in good shape. They are going over to the transition area, looking for

the bikes. Jonathan Brownlee making sure he finds the right one, he is

in no rush. He has the power and potential to stay with the leaders

over a relatively short race of six kilometres. Henri Schoeman, he did

well. 23 seconds off the pace, but that was his strongest discipline.

The Australian coming out. I was tipping the Australian team for a

medal, but Emma Moffat did not have good legs, so that is disappointing

because Australia are way off the pace. Grant Sheldon, an uphill task

to get back with these guys. Jonathan Brownlee is at the front.

He will take no prisoners. He will ride the six kilometres on his

terms. This is impressive riding. Where he finds the strength and

energy from, after taking the silver medal, I do not know. He will do

everything in his power to ride as hard as he can. Working the other

athletes so hard, that hard as he can. Working the other

they fall off. Tony Dodds, New Zealand, the 27-year-old, he is with

them. Taking a turn at the front. Jonathan Brownlee and Conor Murphy,

right up there with the leaders. They take a while to get their feet

comfortably positioned in the shoes. Matthew Sharpe drifts towards the

front. And Liam Lloyd, from Wales, out of transition on -- and on his

way. Non Stanford and Helen Jenkins are out, so real disappointment for

the Wales team stop Conor Murphy from Northern Ireland making his way

up the hill. He will be hard pushed to get on the back of the front four

athletes, the group leading their way. Northern Ireland, 12th in the

individual on Thursday. The man from Cragiavon. The athletes will be

happy it is cooler today for the mixed relay, compared to Thursday,

although I am not sure anybody has too much time to get too overheated,

being a super Sprint. Henri Schoeman He crashed on his bike on Thursday.

The Australian was not dealt a great hand by Anna Moffat, who went first.

The Mauritius and picks up his bike. -- Mauritian. Aaron Royal, up there

with Henri Schoeman. Matthew Sharpe from Canada in third place.

Jonathan. He makes the turn and this is where they start to climb. This

is where Jonathan will have a little breakaway. Will he consider it a

worthwhile manoeuvre? He has Matthew Sharpe alongside, a little bit of

chat between the two. There is Aaron Royal of Australia. Henri Schoeman,

from South Africa. In the individual, they were pushed. How

relaxed is Alistair Brownlee? They trained so hard. We spoke about them

racing on Thursday. Sometimes, people find it tough. Two days

later, muscle soreness sets in. It is the day after and you might be on

a high, and you feel OK. But they train every day and recovery is

probably pretty fast. This is why the relay is popular with

spectators. It provides spectacle and showboating. Tony Dodds giving

it plenty as he entered the water for his 250 metres swim. Conor

Murphy staying out of trouble. Keeping his head down, slipstreaming

behind Tony Dodds. Freewheeling down towards the lake in the Strathclyde

country Park. And back to the transition for the two laps to

compete the one mile and that will take us to halfway in the mixed team

relay with two legs still to come. Jonathan Brownlee opening up a

little gap over Matthew Sharpe. Tony Dodds of New Zealand in third. They

are over the dangerous part of the course with the nasty turn after the

descent. They are homeward bound. Around 1.5 kilometres to go. Tony

Dodds was 10th in the individual, Conor Murphy was 12 and

Dodds was 10th in the individual, Sharpe did not race and Jonathan

Brownlee won the silver medal. -- 12th. The New Zealand team, perhaps

for me, either team who will be next up on the medals. Matthew Sharpe did

race on Thursday, but he was way off up on the medals. Matthew Sharpe did

the pace. He was eight minutes behind and did not really feature.

Aaron Royle, from Australia, Henry behind and did not really feature.

Skillman. They are working as a team and I fear that that gap has grown

too large. -- Mark Henri Schoeman. Tony Dodds is being cheeky,

injecting a little bit of pace and Tony Dodds is being cheeky,

glancing over his shoulder almost teasing Jonathan Brownlee to try and

catch him. They will all arrive together. Brownlee takes

catch him. They will all arrive Conor Murphy has been at the back,

just in behind Matthew Sharpe. Conor Murphy has been at the back,

Working as little as he would dare. Conor Murphy was 12th on Thursday.

Northern Ireland would be quite happy with their performance, but

still two legs to go. Jodie Stimpson is next to go for England, handed a

place in the front four by Jonathan Brownlee. Tony Dodds will hand

place in the front four by Jonathan to Nicky Samuels. C what he can do.

Conor Murphy is the first to react. Brownlee has his brakes on that

macro let us see what he can do. They are approaching the end of the

six kilometres lap. Jodie Stimpson looks like she will have a good

lead. It will be enough to ensure she will be first into the water in

round three. Here we go. Tony Dodds, Conor Murphy and Matthew Sharpe have

closed the gap. Jonathan Brownlee gets the dismount right. They all

ride in single file. Matthew Sharpe, Jonathan Brownlee, Tony Dodds, Conor

Murphy. Aaron Royle in as well and Henri Schoeman, they have made up a

bit of time. They will have to be quick. Matthew Sharpe hits the front

first. I thought Jonathan Brownlee made a decisive leap from the bike.

I wonder if he will make a break now. None of these guys on paper can

stay with him. Look at the pace being delivered! Jonathan Brownlee

leads, Conor Murphy... A bit of trouble for Grant Sheldon. He might

have jammed his foot. He is carrying on. Those spokes can be painful.

Jonathan Brownlee is back at the front, giving it everything. That is

all you can do. The race is over at the end of it and you have to give

it 100%. Leaving it all out on the road and he will I ball his

opponents heading in the opposite road and he will I ball his

direction, halfway through lap number one -- eyeball. Brownlee is

getting quicker as Grant Sheldon makes his way out of transition. He

is looking like he is in a world of pain. We expected perhaps as little

bit more from him. He expected more. He was the third world junior

champion. We conceive the incident with the wheel. A bronze medallist

last year -- we can see the incident. He finished in 14th

position in the individual competition and he must be running

through the pain. Look at Jonathan Brownlee go! He is treating this

like a sprint. He is miles ahead of the rest of the field! England are

in front, as expected. Jonathan Brownlee watched by Jodie Stimpson

and Alistair Brownlee. It is giving them cause for in courage in.

and Alistair Brownlee. It is giving might be heading for a gold medal.

He will make Jodie Stimpson happy -- encouragement. She will have a 22nd

gap entering the water. A nice position to be in. -- a 22nd gap. --

20-second gap. Matthew Sharpe had a decent swim. Henri Schoeman, the

swim specialist. They are awaiting, Jodie Stimpson has her swim cap and

goggles on -- waiting. They will have to wait while Brownlee hands

over to Jodie Stimpson. She will have a handy lead delivered on a

plate by the former world champion. They leave nothing behind, they will

not let up, they will go all the way. We will have to

not let up, they will go all the what happens. Jodie Stimpson will go

first before handing over to Alistair Brownlee. Jonathan might

just lap someone and it could be Liam Lloyd. He will be hoping he

holds off Jonathan Brownlee before the handover. There is Boris Toulet

from Mauritius. He might be getting lapped. Jonathan Brownlee coming

from Mauritius. He might be getting into transition. Jodie Stimpson will

be confident now. Such a decent lead from Jonny Brownlee. Away goes Jodie

Stimpson down the blue carpet. Up the ramp, I way she goes. Jodie

Stimpson on her way -- away she goes. There goes Nicky Samuels.

Eimear Murphy died then. -- Eimear Murphy on her way.

Jodie Stimpson has a commanding lead. -- Eimear Mullan. What a

fantastic run by Jonny Brownlee. He proved there were tactics. He opened

a magnificent gap to give to Jodie Stimpson. We are seeing Scotland

coming through now. The league that Jodie Stimpson days ago, she did so

well, it will be total focus. That will be the difference. She has

proved she is the best in a competitive race. She will have to

stay in tune with herself. She will be giving over to the current

Commonwealth champion, Alistair Brownlee. What a great performance

by England so far. Scotland's third leg being taken on why Thomson. --

Seonaid Thompson. I think it might be the Canadian, Sarah Ambrose in

second position as the Welsh team make their change. Holly Lawrence is

on her way. She has a lot of work to do. It is a relay. The order of the

athletes was fascinating. We saw a tremendous performance by Kerstin

Sweetland and I thought she almost over performed. It put Canada in a

strong position -- Kerstin Sweetland. -- Kirsten Sweetland. A

good performance from Mauritius. Boris Toulet will hold on -- hand

over 243 macro. -- Emilie Ng Foong Po. Jodie Stimpson comes out of the

water, it Po. Jodie Stimpson comes out of the

feet and prepares for the arrival in transition. The gap is significant,

heading towards ten or 11 seconds transition. The gap is significant,

before the next athlete is out. New Zealand come out in second, Nicky

Samuels. Then a group of three together, including the Canadian,

Sarah Ambrose. Then Eimear Mullan. Australia, represented by Emma

Jackson. The athletes who were second and third in the individual

Jackson. The athletes who were race have already gone. She must

Jackson. The athletes who were feeling confident. I think it is a

short time trial. Eimear feeling confident. I think it is a

in and out of transition now. Sorry, that was Gillian Sanders.

Eimear Mullan is on her way now. Jodie Stimpson had a brilliant start

to the season. She was the leader in the world triathlon standings. There

is Seonaid Thompson. She is in seventh position. There is a lots of

play for in the medals. England have a lead. It is not commanding. The

way the field is spread, there are chances of medals going to any of

the teams up to six position. We are back with our leader now -- sixth.

Vicky Holland, Jonny Brownlee handed the lead to Jodie Stimpson. Lawrence

from Wales comes in. Holly Lawrence, 24 years old. She is on

her way. They will miss Helen Jenkins and Non Stanford. Lawrence

is aboard and out of transition. It is a big ask to come through from

that sort of deficit. At the head of the field, Jodie Stimpson did seem

to have made that decision that she was going to go for it. It did not

look like there was any possibility of her dropping back and allowing

the chasers to come back. Perhaps we will be proved wrong. There are

three at thereof. I thought the lead might have grown. -- there are three

chasers bearer. Nicky Samuels from might have grown. -- there are three

New Zealand who is eating into the Leeds with a really gutsy effort.

is highly experienced. Well respected, 31 years of age. And she

is getting closer to the leader. Nicky Samuels is pushing a big gear,

and if she's going to Nicky Samuels is pushing a big gear,

Stimpson, it might be a big advantage for both of them. It will

enable Nicky Samuels to get back in the lead and it will also reassure

Jodie Stimpson that having raced against are so many times, she knows

that over three disciplines she is better, and if they go into the

final discipline and it is better, and if they go into the

kilometres, she will feel confident, and sure that she can get

away from Nicky and hand over to Alistair with a big lead. Let's not

take it away from Nicky Samuels, because that was

take it away from Nicky Samuels, strong ride to close the gap will

stop -- the gap. The chasing three are Braout of Canada, and Sanders of

South Africa and Jackson. They will spot Simpson -- Stimpson and Nicky

Samuels any minute now. Emma Jackson looked as though possibly she had

picked up an injury during the running section and we will have to

wait and see what develops. Jodie Stimpson still looking very

powerful. Alistair Brownlee is totally focused. There he is. A long

way to go because Stimpson still has to run a mile. He is pacing around,

keeping himself warm. He has a smile on his face, and he must be

thinking, well, after all the talk about me a couple of days ago, going

into the race, he came back and proved he is absolutely the best in

the world, in my opinion, at the moment. If he goes into any sort of

lead in the final discipline, the smart money will be on England. This

is Jodie Stimpson's swim, highlights from the start to finish. Quite a

steep exit ramp. Stimpson, as far as we can tell, has been joined at the

front towards the end of the six kilometre bike. Nicky Samuels has

closed the gap to the leader. They are on the downhill section. Samuels

and Stimpson will ride the final couple of kilometres together. I

guess the other thing is just how much did it take out of the athletes

on the individual race? Talking to Jodie and Vicky earlier this

morning, they seemed highly on it, but the physical sensation of

getting into the race will make that feel different, and the euphoria of

getting a medal at the Commonwealth Games will be there, but when we

come back to the reality, they will think their legs are hurting. It's a

great performance by Nicky Samuels. She would have been disappointed

after her individual race, but being up there with Jodie Stimpson, and

not giving ground at all. Samuels has done well to close the gap to

Jodie Stimpson. I'm sure any breaks will be immediately covered, and

Samuels realises that and slipstream is in behind the English triathlete

who won the gold medal in emphatic style on Thursday. Her timing in the

race was exquisite. Samuels allows Stimpson a breather behind. Those

who have raced already are now sitting and watching. Sheldon on the

right, I think he is hurting. Tony Dodds New Zealand with a towel

around his head. Moffat sitting down. Sissons will go last in New

Zealand, the 26-year-old, Ryan Sissons. The last of the New Zealand

quartet. Just waiting for his changeover, which will come from

Nicky Samuels after she and Jodie Stimpson have run a mile. Alan

Moffat, looking a bit disconsolate -- Ellen Moffat. We will see if she

has anything to say after that. Perhaps with Jodie Stimpson coming

through we might be looking at a repeat of what we saw with Jonathan

Brownlee in the cycling to running transition, because Nicky Samuels

finished 10th overall, and Jodie won that race on the run. Absolutely

sensational. With just one mile to go, Jodie is the sort of athlete who

will accept any sort of pain to open a gap, and she wants to give

Alistair Brownlee a big gap going into the final leg. Does he really

need it? Maybe he does not need it, but what have been the effect?

Sometimes we look at Alistair as if he is superhuman. We have seen him

come back from so many setbacks, including the Olympic Games when he

was ill before that Tom and he has done it. He is human despite what is

training partners say -- before that time. Jodie will want to give him a

lead before the final leg of the four. Jackson with a good run for

lead before the final leg of the Australia. We know about her running

ability. And Sanders of South Africa on the client. -- on the climb.

Jodie Stimpson in the lead, then Nicky Samuels, they are preparing to

arrive in transition and hang up their bikes before they exceed for

two laps on two feet. 800 metres, twice, so a mile to run. Stimpson

looking like she has been working hard. Samuels, what an effort to

move from the chasers up to join the leader, Jodie Stimpson. A slightly

different course today. A shorter lap, just six kilometres as they hit

the dismount line on the money. Stimpson was pushing it very close

there. Right on the money, as you say. We'll Jodie show any signs of

fatigue going into the run? Nicky Samuels will be feeling pleased with

what she did on the bike. She has closed the gap and put New Zealand

in with a strong chance of a medal and Jodie Stimpson sprints out of

transition and is chasing Nicky Samuels, but at this early stage, it

looks like Jodie Stimpson is not looking to close the gap, she will

look to go directly passed out into open space. Samuels and Stimpson out

of transition on the first lap. Brault, Sanders and Jackson, they

will look to Jackson for the lead. She is potentially the best of the

three runners, and she hits the front of that little pack. Credit to

Nicky Samuels because Jodie Stimpson went straight past, but she's not

giving in. She will be determined to hold, but huge efforts with the

three chasers away, then three, and I think the medals will come from

these five teams. Excellent ride from Mullan, and she will hand over

to Russell White of Northern Ireland. Brault

to Russell White of Northern of South Africa, Jackson of

Australia attempting to eat into the lead, and Jodie Stimpson has moved

clear of Nicky Samuels. She has moved clear and it's very early

stages. It is just 1.6 kilometres, but to open a few seconds on the

stages. It is just 1.6 kilometres, first lap, that will grow. Nicky

Samuels will need to dig deep, and if she can try and stay at least

inside Jodie if she can try and stay at least

Jackson, Sanders and Brault making up the time. That is a big

performance by Sanders. I know she was disappointed in her individual

performance, as was Sarah and Brault. Emma Jackson just had to

give her best on the final lap of the run, and now, my goodness, it

looks like Northern Ireland are chasing hard and fast. Mullan fast

across the tarmac. They are starting to anticipate the arrival of Jodie

Stimpson into transition at the end of the first lap as Mullan tries to

improve her position. She has her eyes on these three. That is the

target, to get towards these three by the end of this one-mile run.

Brownlee. Roaring her on her way for her second lap. And this is it.

Brownlee will get her second lap. And this is it.

into the final leg. And Stimpson may well be about to lap shown Thompson

of Scotland. That is a possibility. Alistair Brownlee's encouragement

will be a big factor with Jodie Stimpson, because she knows she has

less than three minutes of running and she will be determined to give

Alistair the lead going through, and with the shortened course we will

see lapping coming through. It is only 800 metres left. I am surprised

that these three have stayed together. Sanders will be pleased

she is putting South Africa in strong contention for a medical --

medal. A bit of a mishap from Emma Jackson. We thought she was carrying

an injury coming into the race. D?j? vu. That happens to Emma Jackson in

the individual race, clipping heels with South Africa, and I don't think

it was Sanders, but she needs to mind her step. Waiting for the

handover. Richard Murray, we caught sight of him, he will be swimming,

riding and running the anchor leg for South Africa. Samuels has been

dropped, and we just have sight of Holly Lawrence who has been lapped

by Jodie Stimpson. Ahead of her Seonaid Thompson is about to be lap.

She has not slowed down one Seonaid Thompson is about to be lap.

Nicky Samuels, determined to keep working into the final lap and wants

to give Alistair every possible opportunity to dominate the race.

Look at that effort there. It's exactly what we saw two days ago.

Alistair going through a pre-event warm up. Nicky Samuels with a smile,

delighted with her run. She always looks like she is smiling when she

is running. She can't possibly be actually smiling. We have Richard

Murray going on the final legs are South Africa and he is a very strong

short distance runner and he will have good chances of a medal. Given

a lift by Sanders, but it's all about England at the

a lift by Sanders, but it's all Stimpson comes towards the end of

her mile. She makes the final turn. Alistair Brownlee, the Olympic and

Commonwealth champion, is there. I think Brownlee had his feet out of

the technical area when he tagged Jodie Stimpson and I hope the judges

aren't looking too closely at that. It remains to be seen. They are

quite tight on the rules, as Jonathan Brownlee found to his cost

in 2012 in the Olympics. We will see if there is a penalty for Alistair

Brownlee. The others are on their way. If there is a penalty it could

be critical, because it's a measure of how strong Nicky Samuels was on

the second lap, that six second gap only opened up to nine seconds. I

have to say that is one of the best single races I have ever seen her

do. It was excellent. A terrible dive by Ryan Bailie, the Australian.

They got the timing wrong as he hit the ramp upwards. Like the

show-jumping horse, he needed an extra stride. The belly flopped into

the lane. The emotion of the event is taking over, and certainly taking

over this man, who has already come home to a gold medal. He has gone

from the front. That is a powerful swim by Alistair Brownlee.

from the front. That is a powerful gets in control with his long/ going

through. Northern Ireland hanging over there. Let's look at this dive.

That was Russell White, the 20-year-old. Not perfectly timed,

but the crowd enjoyed it. The Northern Irishman, swimming, riding

and running the anchor leg as Alistair Brownlee makes his turn at

the top of the course and heads on his way back towards the X it

point. He will come out of the water, up towards the ramp and

towards his bike. He might spend the whole of his super Sprint triathlon

alone. We shall see, because I don't think Ryan has lost too many

seconds, a good swim. We have seen that lovely /Alistair has in the

swimming and it's almost that he was overturning on the first 100 metres,

perhaps we will see him down there, but the time gap on swimming when we

look down is different to that in cycling and running. Alistair does

look very much in control, breathing every stroke, and the cycling, what

will happen? We thought Jodie Stimpson might stay away but she

decided not to. That will be the same decision Alistair Brownlee has

to make. Alistair Brownlee cutting through the calm water. It is an

easy swim for someone of his quality. His gap will be around ten

seconds as he comes out and heads towards his bike. Brownlee of

England leading the way. The last member of the English quartet claws

his way up the ramp and hits his stride. 59 minutes and four seconds

to get this far. Nine seconds, ten seconds, 11, 12 to the New Zealand

contender who has worked to do now. That is Ryan Sissons. We saw Nicky

Samuels close the gap on Jodie Stimpson. Ryan Sissons will hope to

do the same. Richard Stimpson. Ryan Sissons will hope to

out of the water for South Africa. We might get some rain. If it comes

during the cycling, it will make things interesting. Ryan Bailie

arrives at his bike. Richard Murray on his way for South Africa. Andrew

York is also a and pedalling out of transition, he is from Canada. --

Andrew Yorke. We might see a big effort to try and close on Alistair

Brownlee. On one mile of running, things could change. Russell White

is out of the water for Northern Ireland. He is on his own. Going

pretty well, the Northern Irish, helped by an excellent performance

in round three by Eimear Mullan. He is ten years younger than her. He is

on his way. Look far Alistair Brownlee is ahead. He is heading

towards the hill. -- look high far. -- look how far ahead. He will be

totally focused on riding his own race and looking down, it seems that

his lead has extended. I am surprised to see how much. Will we

see Alistair Brownlee in Seoul glory? -- soul. Richard Murray,

see Alistair Brownlee in Seoul South African who took a bronze on

Thursday. He is a great runner. 1600 metres is probably too much for him.

He probably fancies broadens, though. Richard Murray is trying to

put himself in a good position -- a bronze medal. Perhaps he

put himself in a good position -- a able to turn that bronze medal into

a silver medal. Alistair Brownlee is leading, Ryan Sissons from New

Zealand is second. There is a group of three holding third position,

Zealand is second. There is a group Murray from South Africa and Ryan

Bailie from Australia. Here we go, we got a look

Bailie from Australia. Here we go, is almost a decision,

Bailie from Australia. Here we go, out by myself -- a look back there.

Ryan will have to work hard. He seems to have done it, but that puts

Richard Murray in a strong position. Richard Murray and South Africa are

nigh the favourites for silver. Richard Murray is the best of

are now the favourites. They runners between these four -- they

looking at Richard Murray and they should be thinking, we need to get

away from him before the run starts. Ryan Bailie with Ryan Sissons,

Richard Ryan Bailie with Ryan Sissons,

they are climbing. Single file, up the single stretch. Will they get to

see Alistair Brownlee heading in the opposite direction quest --? If they

are going to sit here with Richard Murray and think they can out run

him, that shows a lot of confidence. We need to see them trying to

him, that shows a lot of confidence. through. They are crossing over,

watching the leader. That gap has certainly extended. It was about 12

seconds. I think it is closer to 20 now. Ryan Sissons have that silver

medal position and he decided that he could not make any dent in the

lead that Brownlee had, so he eased up. At the moment, England look good

for a gold medal and it will be the second for Brownlee and the second

for Jodie Stimpson as well. This is the look at Alistair Brownlee's

feet, they are out of the box. Are we about to get notice of a 15

second penalty for Alistair Brownlee? Will that come his way and

will it make a difference? It is a family trait, it happened to

Jonathan in the Olympic Games. If they see Alistair Brownlee holding

their for about 15 seconds, that will give a large incentives. What

is going on here? -- incentive. Alistair Brownlee, we have not heard

anything official. It has been confirmed in the replay that his

feet where over the line in the technical area. This quartet are

We are still waiting to hear if We are still waiting to hear if

there is any sort of penalty for Alistair Brownlee, whether it is a

stop-go penalty, nothing has reached us yet. We will have a lot of

excitement between these four athletes. I'll hit of extra

excitement if Alistair Brownlee has to hold about 15 seconds -- a little

bit of extra excitement. Fascinating. Alistair Brownlee leads

for England in the final round of the mixed team relay. Vicky Holland

started off, handed over to Jonny Brownlee and Jodie Stimpson. They

know they have a bit of a time gap over the athletes behind them. I am

surprised at the tactics. Alistair Brownlee leads, four countries

chasing. Two medals out of four. That is what they are thinking

about, wondering if they will be strong enough on the run. Alistair

is approaching the final stages of his ride. The crowds are good. They

are out watching the big screen on the far side of the lake. Here comes

the Olympic and Commonwealth champion, Alistair Brownlee of

England. He is ripping off the straps on his shoes as he parks his

bike. Will he get some bad news? Nothing has reached us yet and

nothing has been communicated to Alistair yet. The shoes are going

on, the bike helmet will have to hit the box. He has a mile to win it.

Alistair Brownlee is on his way. No sign of anyone else. He begins his

first lap of two. The time gap he took into this final has extended.

That is not a surprise. It seemed almost pedestrian at times with

these four athletes coming through. They must have confidence, Richard

Murray, you would think it is the favourite. As we saw with Nicky

Samuels, Arena Lady makes a different situation. -- a relay.

We will assume that there will not be a penalty for Alistair Brownlee,

because it would have been awarded by now. We will assume there will

not be any sort of penalty for stepping over the line. The battle

for silver and bronze medal begins. Andrew Yorke leaves out Ryan Bailie

Alistair Brownlee is approaching BM is of the first half of his first

way to silver medal position. He has got daylight between pursuit and

Ryan Bailie. -- Andrew Yorke. Alistair Brownlee reaches BM does

his first lap. 800 metres to run -- reaches the end of his first lap. He

must be feeling confident. He saw Richard Murray move away from the

other three athletes. A big fight for the bronze medal. There goes

Richard Murray. Richard Murray is not too far away from the chasers.

Perhaps there is more to come. It looks like Alistair Brownlee will

take the gold medal. Richard Murray is upright and strong. The best of

the runners today will stop he took a bronze medal in the individual on

Thursday. -- the best of the runners today. He took a bronze medal.

Canada and Australia are shoulder to shoulder. There could be a battle

for the bronze medal. An hour and 12 minutes into this relay. We are

within touching distance of the finish. Alistair has 90 seconds to

run to complete this Commonwealth Games, the first ever mixed team

relay. Ryan Sissons in fifth place, I am sure he is regretting that

decision to sit back on the bike. Ryan Bailie attempts to move clear

of Andrew Yorke. It is almost done for Alistair Brownlee. He is going

to lap Russell White of Northern Ireland on his way back to the

finish. Alistair Brownlee Ireland on his way back to the

past Russell White. Vicky Holland, Jonathan Brownlee,

and bronze. He needs to look over his shoulder because there is a fast

finish coming from Ryan Bailie, his shoulder because there is a fast

Murray of South Africa. He is not guaranteed this silver medal yes.

Here comes Ryan Bailie. I think Richard Murray has just about done

enough to add silver to the bronze he took in the individual. Richard

Murray brings South Africa the silver, and Ryan Bailie adds the

bronze for Australia. And Yorke leaves empty-handed for Canada.

Almost knocked over as he came through. Absolute delight. Oh, my

goodness me. There will be a disappointed man. Yes, Ryan Sissons

who was second at the start of the swim and by grown in the super

Sprint, and he comes home out of the medals -- swim and bike ride.

England take the gold medal. So the Australians finally rewarded

after all of their efforts. A sprint finish by Ryan Bailie, and he just

had the measure of Andrew Yorke. Look at Alistair. He has recovered

already. It was all very straightforward for the Brownlee

Brothers and four Stimpson and Vicky Holland. Two gold medals for

Alistair Brownlee. They have taken the mixed team relay. Jonathan

Brownlee, Jodie Stimpson, Vicky Holland and Alistair Brownlee are

the Commonwealth champions. Huge congratulations. The rain has

started pouring down, a message from Yorkshire. Commonwealth champions,

and both of you are double Commonwealth champions. It feel

special. The last time we did the relay, things didn't work out, so to

share the podium with these guys is special. Alistair, you are hammering

it down and what a Legion came in with. Yes, it was fantastic -- what

a lead you came in with. I love the relay. It's really fun. You can see

people 's strengths and weaknesses more than normal. You were tight

coming out of the transition with Jodie. Did you know how tight it

was? I thought that is maybe why you are hammering it down. No, did I

nearly get a penalty? Oh, well. It's a changeover and every second

counts. Johnny, as the most successful member of the team when

it comes to mixed relays, you have the lead right from your leg and

continued it through. What did you make of the race? I thought it was a

good one. Relays are always close and it was quite packed until

Alistair's leg, but Vicky gave is a good start and I knew I had to stay

on the bike and run as fast as I could, and Jodie just destroyed it

and Alistair finished it off. Vicky, is the first time we have had the

event at the major games, do you think the Olympic Committee might

put it in the programme for Twenty20? I really hope so. Look at

the atmosphere it generated, having this vast racing circuit, having

those teams in the mix, and the lead changing so often. A great spectator

event. Having girls and guys in the same race, it is unique. Just

quickly, you have the full set now. You won't retire, will you? No plans

at the moment. A few more years left in me yet. Thank you very much and

congratulations to you all, Commonwealth champions.

Great stuff, and that is seven medals in triathlon at the

Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. A magnificent achievement, and talking

of the magnificent seven. It is a classically trained little

number, the seven. Seven hills of Rome, the seven pillars of Wisdom.

The seven wonders of the ancient world. Or it is more every day, the

seven days of the week. It is a lucky number, a happy number. It can

come with a menace, or it can be magnificent.

It is Rinaldo, it is Ritchie, it is Beckham. -- Ronaldo. Seven minutes

each way. Seven players running subtle lines, making sweet music,

knocking seven bells out of each other in order for one to be in

seventh heaven. In the numbers game, it is time to roll out the sevens.

Oh, yes, we have been looking forward to this. Rugby fans have

been waiting for super Saturday and this will be one of the events of

the 2014 Commonwealth Games and it will feature of the first time ever

in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Expect tries galore. Let's go to

Ibrox Stadium and John in Bedale. Glasgow has been a party city since

Wednesday night and this has been a 48-hour party at Ibrox, the home of

John Gregg, Sandy Jardine, Ally McCoist and Paul Gascoigne. But some

noisy crowds have gathered to watch rugby sevens, a very different sport

to the fifteens. Like Twenty20 is to Test match cricket. And apart from

the fact that there are eight less players on each side Nicol and

Jonathan Davies are with us, to tell us what are the difference in the

skill sets and physicality? Because there are eight less players it

means there is more space, and it means that pace is a huge component.

You need to have pace in the team and you need a physical side because

each skill is exposed and it means the contact skills have to be good,

the tackling skills, the passing skills. If you missed a tackle, it

is a try. In the fifteens game, you have layers of defence. Everybody

has to be absolutely razor-sharp. It is a specialist sport, you have 15

aside players and seven a side players. It is more physical than

previous seasons, and the reason they have the contact is it makes an

offside line. Again, it is the same teams that are up there, South

Africa, New Zealand, they are number one and number two in the

competition, and England's third. In terms of the unfamiliarity of the

names, because there are none of the big stars of the world game in the

competition, that is because, in a way, fundamentally there are

specialist squads that travel the world playing seven aside rugby.

That happens with nine countries. You can replace them with D J Forbes

and Tim Mikkelson for Richie McCaw, but they are fantastic players.

Scotland have brought in Stuart Hogg to boost the home country because he

is a 15 aside player and an outstanding player. You can hear the

atmosphere, it is amazing. When Scotland come out with Stuart Hogg,

it will bring the roof off. Something you might not be aware of

is the origins of seven aside rugby. It is less than 100 miles from here.

Rugby is a hard game, not for the faint-hearted. And, in the

Commonwealth Games, it is made even harder with just seven players on

the pitch. Rugby sevens is a truly international sport, played all over

the world. But it all began here, in Melrose, a sleepy market town in the

Scottish Borders. Rugby players are traditionally a beefy breed, so the

genesis of the seven a side game is particularly appropriate. Good

morning. How are you doing. I believe there is a connection

between this butchers and sevens rugby. In 1883, two men who played

in the shop and played at Melrose decided to organise a tournament and

they shortened the game to seven minutes per half with seven players

so they could fit it all into one day. From its humble birth in the

Borders of Scotland, the popularity of the game grew with fans and

players. This fascinating game of seven-a-side rugby is becoming very

popular. By the 1970s, sevens was played internationally. This is

magic stuff at the moment. Fans and players could not get enough of the

game. Teams come from all over the world

to play at Melrose, coming from as far a field as the USA and Trinidad

and Tobago. What is it about sevens rugby you love so much? The speed,

the flare, everything. It is awesome. Over the 22, Scott

Hastings, magnificent support by the International Centre. Everywhere you

go, everybody loves the sevens, the atmosphere, the brilliance of the

game, the skill level. The fitness of the players at the upper echelons

is to be admired. It is one of the box office sports going forward in

the future. Rugby sevens's popularity is

continuing to grow globally and will be played at the 2016 Olympics in

Rio by men and women, not bad for a sport that was invented by some

We have had an extraordinary day butchers of the Borders.

We have had an extraordinary day here and an extraordinary day at

Ibrox so far. We have had 50,000 people chanting for Uganda, which

has to be a first at Ibrox. We have had a marriage proposal and an

acceptance. But in any -- many ways that has been a preamble. Scotland

against New Zealand, that has been a preamble. Scotland

have a victory under their belt, and here is the atmosphere. This place

is just rocking. It is amazing. Scotland have boosted the sevens

team with Stuart Hogg, and this is a big game for New Zealand. New

Zealand are the best team in the competition. For Scotland, no

disaster if they lose it because they're big game -- game is against

Canada. We are ready to go. Let's join Simon and Scott Hastings in

commentary. He has overcooked that one and he

has put it straight out. I am Scott Hastings, alongside me, Simon

Maddox, so your Scottish commentator on this side, and New Zealand on my

left. Simon, you reckon that Scotland might the New Zealand team.

-- might test the New Zealand team. I'm sure that is what you are

hoping. They do have the weapons to test the side, but by kicking the

ball out on the fall, that is not the start you want. You have to

control possession against this powerful unit in the black shirts.

Scott Curry up to the ten yard line. D J Forbes, the inspirational

captain for New Zealand. Space out on the side. Cutting back

in against the grain. White going in for the tackle. There is space out

wide if New Zealand can get the ball. This is Lam, and he scored two

in the opening game against Canada. Taken to the deck. But New Zealand

are holding onto possession. Advantage being played. Stretching

the play on the far wide. Tim Mikkelson stays big. Scotland are

holding on. Again, New Zealand, if they stretch it, they have got a try

on. Forbes and Lam. Lam steadies the ship, so first tried for New

Zealand, and it's all because they kept the possession of the ball. It

all came from the kick-off on the full, and we spoke about that

ability to control possession against New Zealand. Those mistakes

are punished after about one minute and 45 seconds of side to side

rugby. The ball moving side to side and the players moving forward. Lam

with the finish. He had Forbes on his outside. Getting way too tight

as they were overworking it. That is what New Zealand will do to you as

the conversion goes over. A seven - zero lead with 4.5 minutes to go.

Typical New Zealand. Let's remind the viewers at home that New Zealand

have never lost a time in the Commonwealth Games -- a tie. Down to

that man there, he has had 38 players coming through his programme

which have gone on to represent the all Blacks in the 15th game. And for

Scotland, they have never beaten New Zealand in seven a side rugby nor 15

aside rugby. Scott Wight going for an unusual tactic. The game on my

game, New Zealand are taking from depth. You do not want to give these

guys chance to stretch you on the outside. It is in the hands of

29-macro. He knocks it on. -- Lam. It was Tim Mikkelson. Scott Riddell.

He was in Moscow last year. A powerful 28-year-old flanker. Scott

Wight to Roddy Grant. DJ Forbes again, he is an absolute menace. He

forced the penalty. This is 70 macro, and exciting runner. -- 28.

Kaka. New Zealand take their lead out for a second try. Brilliant play

and it was all built up by the work by DJ Forbes. Support players come

in. The two feet stepped to the outside. No problem at all. He did

nearly make a mess of it, but taking out the corner flag is no problem. A

well taken try. New Zealand looking very comfortable. We know how

quickly momentum can shift and Scotland, the crowd will be willing

them on to get their hands on the ball and hold it for longer than 20

seconds, because at this stage, they have not had possession. Sherwin

Stowers won in Delhi. He was part of the winning Rugby World Cup team.

31-macro, and word kick by Kaka. -- Lee Jones. Sherwin

31-macro, and word kick by Kaka. -- six tries in Delhi. He is having an

influence on this New Zealand team. The coach makes them work as a unit.

A very simple game plan, but they executed well. -- execute it well.

40 seconds left on the clock, Tim Mickelson. Here is Lam. Space for

New Zealand if they can get the ball over at -- Tim Mikkelson. He will

reset the play. Even with that little hitch kick, DJ Forbes, scored

reset the play. Even with that morning. Kaka, lovely awareness of

the game. They are up to the 22. Scotland have not really had any

ball to speak of. Here goes Sherwin Stowers. He makes a mockery of the

defence. It is the individual brilliance of Sherwin Stowers. As a

perk tried by New Zealand. Great work by Lam. -- a great try by New

Zealand. He showed great balance in his running ability. A good finish.

Seven minutes of accurate work from the New Zealand side. The conversion

to come will stop it has been very clinical. The conversion is not

successful -- the conversion to come. It has been very clinical. A

little bit of dejection from the Scottish supporters. New Zealand are

in command. is that you get the experience from

inside the huddles. The coaches, both simplifying the instructions

and with New Zealand in command, the Scottish coach, at a do not think he

could have hoped for a worse start. Scottish coach, at a do not think he

-- I do not think. It could be curtains for Scotland.

-- I do not think. It could be quickly things can shift and the

momentum in this game could move quickly. If they can

momentum in this game could move on the ball and maintain it, that is

the pressure they are under. They have the individual talent to create

something, but at the moment, they seem very congested in everything.

Once again, they have been outmuscled in the breakdown area.

New Zealand are very organised. outmuscled in the breakdown area.

Bennett has a go, but he was tackled by Lam. Superb counter rock by New

Zealand. New Zealand have found a little bit of space where they

reversed the play down the blindside. Lam, Kaka with the clever

tackle by Scott Wight. DJ Forbes ever present, the captain. Takes it

deep into Scotland territory, but holds on to it. Scotland have played

against New Zealand a couple of times this year, they were beaten in

Hong Kong and in Las Vegas in February. 26 points to five. An

indication of the gulf between the teams. DJ Forbes guilty of being

isolated. Usually the New Zealand players are quick to react to the

decision on the breakdown area. The turnover was forced, Scotland chose

to go to a set piece, which is unusual. Out to Mark Bennett, then

Lee Jones. Sherwin Stowers was up for the tackle. Over two Lam will

stop --. Hobb was isolated. Vernon, gets tackled by Lam. Lam is making a

nuisance of himself. This is Lee Jones. An offside decision against

New Zealand. The New Zealand defence are controlling things well. They

are working hard off the ball. It is telling on them at the moment.

Scotland finally putting them under pressure. He gets the support on the

inside. Lee Jones, seven tries in Delhi last time. This time, he gets

the support and he gets the touchdown. He did extremely well.

The defensive effort from New Zealand told in the end. They tried

to hold Scotland down. They could not act on the inside. A couple of

changes for the New Zealand side. We see the switch from Hobb. Well taken

try by Scotland. Lovely footwork there from Webber,

up and over the halfway line. DJ Forbes, this Kaka. DJ Forbes does so

well, the way he gets then. A tee has the ball. Colin Gregor takes the

ball away -- Grant. There is going to be a yellow card. Outstanding

play by Scotland. He wanted to get away quickly, they have to try and

take this to New Zealand. They are well into this game. Big

opportunity. I wonder if Colin Gregor will play this set piece? 24

comes on for Scotland. -- James Johnstone. Jones goes for the gap.

Momentum in the favour of Scotland. Another penalty, it still two

minutes to go. I yellow card for Sean Lamont. -- a yellow card. Talk

about that momentum swinging. The clerk will restart. An awful lot of

points can be scored. Plenty of time -- clock. The Scotland support

getting behind them now. points can be scored. Plenty of time

-- clock. The Scotland James Johnstone is on. He always makes

difficulty. Surely a try! Colin Gregor with the loose pass. Jones,

Lam is up for the tackle. This makes it interesting! This makes it more

than interesting, it is all in favour of Scotland. They want to get

back quickly and get organised for the restart. New Zealand are under

pressure. A classic for Jones. I thought New Zealand scrambled well.

They should have finished that tackle off. One minute to play. New

Zealand are down to five. They will have to try and control possession.

For Scotland it is all about the accuracy. Changes being made for New

Zealand's. They are back to six. The kick-off is crucial. New Zealand

gather through Scott Curry. Sherwin Stowers is off the pitch at this

moment in time. They will go to a penalty. They will look to kick to

touch. DJ Forbes, trying to assert his leadership on this New Zealand

side. Extremely sensible play here from New Zealand. Kaka, two of New

Zealand's most experienced players, 32-macro is one of them, they missed

out on selection. -- Lote Raikabula. Vernon goes up to challenge. An

early lift. He puts the ball down. That is the tide for a New Zealand.

If they had been smarter, a little bit smarter, tactically they got it

right -- ties. When you have been around the circuit this long, the

likes of DJ Forbes, they need to make the right decision. They put

themselves under pressure. A lot of disappointment, are lot of questions

asked in the changing room. Scotland let it get away from them, they had

an opportunity to get their hands on the ball. That is one they let go.

Phenomenal atmosphere, but yet so far. You see what the

Phenomenal atmosphere, but in sevens is about. You see the

momentum shift. They had to get the kick-off back to try and win the

game. So close. In the first half they lost possession and were beaten

in the contact area, but in the second half they showed what they

could do. Realistically, that was a fantastic chance to Scotland to win

the match with two of the New Zealand players in the sin-bin. It

also says that everybody else in the competition that the New Zealanders

are not unbeatable, although they did win. They have done what they

needed to do today you saw the crowd lifting Scotland so much and you

could see in the second half the momentum was phenomenal. They did a

great job. We can have a word with Stuart Hogg. How was that for your

first experience of the Commonwealth Games? It was brilliant. The

intensity was there from the start. The boys put in a hard shift and we

put in a good performance. We did not get a couple of bits right, but

we were looking good. When New Zealand went down to five, did you

think you had it? I thought so, the way the boys were going. It is tough

out there. A really quick game and credit to New Zealand, they shut us

out. We move on. The match against Canada now becomes important.

out. We move on. The match against Definitely. We are looking to win

every game possible, and Canada is a massive test. Well played. Bad luck.

Stuart Hogg, who added a bit of stardust to the Scottish team. With

Scotland, they have tremendous pace stardust to the Scottish team. With

through the side and they need to quicken up the game. I

through the side and they need to why they kicked into touch

through the side and they need to slowed it down on penalties. They

have tremendous pace through the side and they need to play the game

quickly. Just have to be quick, because the next match is coming. A

quick assessment of England and Wales? England looked efficient. You

have to take into Wales? England looked efficient. You

opposition. They will have to play better tonight when they play

against Samoa and Australia. They will both qualify but whether it

will be first or second, that determines who they play in the next

round that crucial. Back here with some big matches later this evening,

but what a fantastic spectacle. Hope you enjoyed it in the studio. And

here is a little statistic for you, New Zealand have never, ever lost a

matching Commonwealth Games history, a remarkable record. Scotland have a

chance to redeem themselves this evening when they play Barbados, and

later denied they take on Canada at Ibrox. If you want to watch any of

the sports, they are online -- later tonight. Full coverage is on BBC

radio five. The boxing is well underway across the river in Glasgow

at the SEC see. One of the bouts of the lightweight category that we are

looking forward it sees Joseph Cordina taking on Pat Mc Cormack. Mc

Cormack kept it a Cordina taking on Pat Mc Cormack. Mc

Cormack kept it secret that he had broken a bone in his hand before he

was selected. This promises to be a great fight. Richie Woodall is

talking to our reporter. Welcome to the second day here, another huge

day preliminaries. Richie Woodall joins me. This first byte is

enormous. It is potentially. It could be the bout of the tournament.

25 or 26 boxes in the division, but these two guys are probably number

one and number two but they draw each other in the first round.

McCormack and Cordina even train together. That is harsh. They know

each other's style and mentally it will be difficult because physically

it will be difficult as well because they know each other's style and

nobody will want to make a mistake. This is a tough draw for the home

nations and there could be a chance they could be out in the next ten

minutes. Absolutely. These are the favourites in the division but they

are in the first round drawing each other. Luck of the draw, somebody

will go out and somebody will go through. Let's get up to the

commentary position. McCormack in the blue corner, accurate M2 in the

red. Get ready for this -- Cordina in the red. We will join them in the

second round, and joining Richie in the commentary box, John McIntosh.

Into the second round we go, scheduled for three. Joseph Cordina,

part of a nine strong Welsh boxing team of seven men and two women,

taking on the 19-year-old Pat McCormack. Beautiful combination

from Cordina. The right-hand coming back from McCormack. A good left jab

from Cordina. He needs to move his head. You can't let him get into a

rhythm behind the jab. He has to move his head. There is the

example. Very skilful, Cordina, coming back with lovely counters but

the head movement is important. Heads rubbing together vigorously at

close quarters. The head gardener just removed at the boxing

Championships in Kazakhstan -- the head guards. It is now referred to

as Olympic boxing, not amateurs, so they will have do educate themselves

in moving their head. Good left hand from Cordina. What a right hand over

the top from McCormack. Briefly turning southpaw. Just getting his

timing a bit better, McCormack. He is waiting for Cordina to come

forward. He has switched to southpaw, but he gets caught. That's

the problem if you go to a southpaw, you leave yourself open if you miss

the target. McCormack is the reigning English champion and he

took the title earlier this year, and he did not concede around in his

first senior national championships. The heads, together

again. Got caught with a good shot from Cordina. A short, left hook.

Mainly because McCormack fell short with a punch. This is a close one. A

flailing right-hand finding its way home. The crisp shots coming from

McCormack -- the more crisp. McCormack turned his feet southpaw

again briefly a moment ago. McCormack was a prodigiously

talented junior. He took global honours. He just fires in the right

hand. He was the world junior champion in

Kazakhstan and took the European junior title in Hungary the same

year. He has made such a smooth transition to the ranks, taking the

national title at the first time of asking without conceding around.

Hugely talented. Again, just a little bit of afters. Neither boxer

complaining. Mc Cormack working through to the body as the fighters

find themselves in at close quarters. Another closely contested

round. The right-hand landing just on the bell.

So, the third and final round is underway. Joe Cordina, wearing red,

taking on Pat McCormack, somebody he is familiar with in an intimate

sense from the boxing perspective, having trained alongside one another

in the Great Britain programme in Sheffield. They are boxing for their

respective home nations, and this is a real firefight beginning the third

round. All to box for. I may know it. Very close. A classic case that

you cannot afford to make mistakes in a contest like this. You are up

against an opponent who is equally as fast, very evenly matched, these

guys. It is the low left hand of Cordina he needs to watch, but that

was good head movement. Joseph Cordina, the reigning Welsh national

champion, taking the crown in 2013 as well. Participated in two World

Championships and had the misfortune in Kazakhstan of drawing the man who

would go on to win the gold in the very first round. You need a bit of

luck in the draw and it wasn't with Cordina then, but he will have

learned heaps from the account -- the encounter. The long one twos

from McCormack are effective. Cordina has to work more on the

inside. These against the taller man, better design for that type of

work. Now he is letting opportunities missed. Just past the

third way -- halfway stage of the third round. As much skill as the

boxers possess, desire will be an increasingly important factor in the

outcome of the contest. Conditioning will not be a problem for either

boxer. Both of them in superb shape ranks to the work done at the

English Institute of sport in Sheffield. Good left hand from

McCormack. Right-hand over the top was long from Cordina. Into the

final minute. The straighter shots are paying dividends for McCormack.

Cordina's work is more ragged, but he does have a lot of flair. Got

caught with a left hook. A right uppercut at close quarters, but

Cordina responds with a slow shot. The heads are still rubbing

vigorously together like a pair of grapplers. Action resumes in the

final 30 seconds. These final 20 seconds, good right hand from

McCormack will stop these closing moments could be crucial in

determining the outcome. It comes down to who wants it most. Very

close. Could go either way. down to who wants it most. Very

Remember, Wales have had one fighter go out of the tournament. Cordina

has to pull it off. Right-hand to the back of the from McCormack.

Cordina turning southpaw. A competitive encounter between two

highly skilled boxers. Opening the lightweight tournament on the second

day of the boxing competition. Ladies and gentlemen we go to the

scorecard is where we have a split decision. In favour of the winner,

through to the next round, in the red corner, representing Wales,

Joseph Cordina! Joseph Cordina has prevailed over his familiar rival,

Pat McCormack from England, by a split decision. It was that close

throughout, and now Cordina takes the congratulation from the English

coaches who he knows so well. Offering his consolation to Pat

coaches who he knows so well. McCormack, but Joe Cordina of

Wales, something to smile McCormack, but Joe Cordina of

round. He did enough to get past Pat McCormack and gets by on the split

decision. Joe, well done. McCormack and gets by on the split

draw came out, that was the hardest one on paper. That was the gold

medal one on paper. That was the gold

week in, week out and he is a top When it came down to drawing him, we

had to chuck the French about the window and you get on with the

business. -- the friendship out the window. Now the bout is finished, we

can still be friends. It was a very, very hard about for me. A

tight fight all very, very hard about for me. A

you have any idea how it was going? I thought I won the first quite

comfortably. Second round I thought he could have nicked it. I think the

judges had you with the first, him with a second. Then it was down to

the last one and I think I threw a few more shots. As soon as the draw

came out, that was the toughest you could imagine. I was hoping it would

be for gold-medal and both of us could have walked away as

medallists, but it is the luck of the draw and that is the way it is.

Drawn in the first bout that what happens. Well done, look forward to

seeing you later in the competition. You really need to keep an eye out

for Joseph Cordina, an excellent fighter. He studied catering at

college and he cooked up a fantastic win in the ring today. We will head

back to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome where Jess Varnish went in the

quarterfinals of the winning's sprint. She had to settle through a

bronze in the women's time trial as Anna Meares took the gold, and she

is the reigning title in the winning's sprint, so Jess Varnish

will be up against the Olympic and Commonwealth champion and has it all

to do. Here is your all you need to know guide to the sprint.

The individual sprint is a one-on-one race where tactics are

just as important as speed. Riders set off alongside each other, but

they are not confined to a lane. They are strategically positioning

themselves on the track over the three laps of the race before one

decides to make a break for the line. Acceleration is key. The

steepest point of the track is 45 degrees and riders can reach speeds

of up to 47 mph. Finding the balance between strategy and speed is the

path to Commonwealth glory. So, in the first heat of the

quarterfinal, England's Jess Varnish showed Victoria Williamson

quarterfinal, England's Jess Varnish showed Victoria a clean set of heels

to go 1-0 up. We join the action in the second heat in the Sir

comfortable for Jess. And we pick up the action in Heat 2.

This all English quarterfinal resumes between Jess varnish and

Victoria Williamson. Varnish able to take control of the

first race. Yes, Victoria Williamson at the top of the track with all the

pressure on her. She has got a good tactician next to her. The coach.

Jess Varnish is obliged to take the lead for the first lap. She has got

the white gloves on. Vicky Williamson with

Rather similar to the first ride. They are taking their time on the

first lap of three. Jess Varnish on the front this time.

Vicky Williamson with all of the work to do. She has to win this to

stay in the competition proper. All quiet in the arena as the

tension builds. We will head to the Chris and Joe -- to the crescendo of

the Sprint soon enough. Williamson not wanting to get involved in track

stands. She does not want to mess around. Jess Varnish forcing her

opponent to the front. Jess Varnish getting the height advantage. Trying

to push Williamson along. Jess Varnish has the speed to go

through to the semifinals. Pats on the back all round. Plain

sailing for Jess Varnish, she is into the semifinals later this

afternoon. Anna Meares is on a mission to claim another

Commonwealth title. What a competitor. She already has seven

gold medals, and Jess Davis will be sacrificial lamb in this one. She

lost 2-0. Anna Meares has performed

consistently and excellently so far. It is the panel to much night in the

velodrome. For more gold medals up for grabs.

Some very big home nation names in the scratch race final.

All 160 laps of the velodrome, for the points race final. We have a

spectacular setting here on the banks of the River Clyde, and a few

moments ago, we saw a piece of Commonwealth Games history. 250

boats arrived from granite in a Commonwealth flotilla at 1pm. It has

been organised by the Royal Yachting Association Scotland. Lots of people

gathered on the banks of the Clyde to see this. We have seen and

enjoyed an amazing array of different boats, from elegant small

ships, Clipper boats and leisure jobs to working boats. It marked the

culmination of hundreds of journalist to Scotland and Glasgow.

It is a spectacular sight. The Clyde looking fantastic and amazing.

Remember, all the sport live here online. And coverage on BBC Radio

five Live. We are shooting to Carnoustie. It is 100 miles from

Glasgow, the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre. It was used in the Edinburgh

Commonwealth Games for the rifle competition. 28 years later, it is

back in the spotlight. Before we bring to the action from the ten

metre pistol final for the men, a guide to shooting.

In Glasgow, there are three pistol events for men and two for women.

But it is given time to fire a certain number of shots at

electronic targets, and from distances of ten, 25 or 50 metres.

The shooter will be standing and the gun can only be supported by one

hand. Each target features ten concentric circles with an

increasing number of points. The centre is worth ten. In the

qualification round, the top eight move through to the final. Except

for the 25 metre rapid-fire, where only the top six progress. The ten

rings will be subdivided into ten decimal scores for the final. The

maximum score becomes 10.9. The Englishman begins his bid to

equal the Commonwealth Games record. He has come out of retirement, this

is the first of two medal chances for him. We will join the final with

Michael Gold in second place, only for shooters remain.

If Michael Gault wants to equal the record, he needs to step up.

Absolutely. The Indian was leading so long

marker down. The Indian was leading so long

before the 7.7. One mistake, he missed out on two

points. Michael Gault could be about to equal his amazing record and

secure himself a medal. He just needs to keep calm here.

secure himself a medal. He just it all before. If anybody can keep

calm, he can. Solid from Michael Gault, and he has

a medal. That means that Michael Gault has a

medal. And a little dance of delight from the man from Norfolk. Fabulous

stuff! He has equalled the record of the most successful Commonwealth

Games athlete ever, that we do have to say that the 19-year-old will be

back, mark my words. Michael Gault is delighted with himself, he knows

what he has done. Can he calmed down and get the silver medal? A silver

medal would be fantastic. The Malaysian has done well. Fourth

place is a killer. He goes home with nothing. Who is going to get the

bronze medal? Here is where we find out. Two more shots. 50 seconds per

shot. They are stand-alone shots, but we look at them in pairs. That

is the most important thing, who has the swing in fortune. Two more shots

to stay in. A solid pen from Michael Gault. A

10.9! Fabulous stuff, just when he needed it. I think Michael Gault

knows that will be difficult to overcome. It was a solid shot from

the Englishman, but what a response. One more shot to go.

It is a fair distance between first and second, but we have two shots

after this short for gold and silver. It could still change.

They will be happy to cheer on the other Englishman left in, Michael

Gault. He has another shot in the 50 metre pistol competition. He could

be the most decorated Commonwealth Games athlete ever by the end. We

shall see. We need Michael Gault to do something spectacular here. That

is a good one. Another excellent shot from the

Indian. We have almost forgotten about the

Australian! That was solid, he is happy with that. It is a damage

limitation shot. We have to say goodbye from the range, he will be

happy enough, Michael Gault. Look at that, he has a medal. 18 medals,

equalling the Australian shooter. Although it is only a bronze medal,

it will feel like a gold medal. That is what he wanted. He wanted the

medal. It is nice to see his compatriot getting involved in the

celebrations. It is a team effort. Absolutely. A bronze medal for

Michael Gault. Who will have the gold medal?

The position between first and second could change.

It could change. The Indian has been closing down the lead slowly. So,

two shots before we know who takes the gold medal here at the Barry

Buddon Shooting Centre. A packed house, all wondering how this will

pan out. Both of them shooting poorly. That

should surely be enough to give the Australian the gold medal. We will

see. Goodness me, both feeling the pressure. They are almost in exactly

the same place on the target as well. Still 1.4 between them, and

one little mistake could put either of them out. Both shooting high of

the bull's-eye. They have both got medals, it is just what colour. 50

seconds to decide gold and silver. Look at the concentration on these

guys. 10.5 from Nanjappa. The pressure is

on Repacholi. He has less than 30 seconds. The Indians making some

noise in the crowd. 10.4. It is gold for Australia. He held his nerve,

and Daniel Repacholi of Australia takes the gold medal in a really

tense final. 32 years of age. Bronze in Delhi, and he has gone better

here. Top of the pile, gold-medal. Well, he had to hang on there. He

milked the crowd and he had to come up a second time, but there our

gold-medal winner. Michael, your 18th Commonwealth Games medal, you

have equalled the record. What an achievement. How do you feel? Job
