Glasgow, Dave four of the Commonwealth Games. Australia are

:00:48.:00:51.

leading the medal table and they will be looking to add to that. They

:00:52.:00:56.

are through to the semi-finals of the rugby sevens where they will

:00:57.:01:00.

face New Zealand. This is what is coming up. We will head to

:01:01.:01:09.

Carnoustie for at the double trap final. It is the semifinal time at

:01:10.:01:19.

the squash, action from the men's women --... We will also have action

:01:20.:01:37.

in the boxing. Lots of live sport around, the rugby sevens continues

:01:38.:01:45.

on BBC Three. And... On the red button, brilliant fights we have

:01:46.:01:51.

seen already at this Commonwealth Games, the boxing will continue on

:01:52.:01:56.

the red button. Every sport is on our website. You can keep up-to-date

:01:57.:02:13.

on the app and on the radio. News of those fantastic quarterfinals in the

:02:14.:02:17.

rugby sevens with John Enver Dale in a moment. First, the headlines

:02:18.:02:24.

today. Michael Shelley Rudman a perfect marathon in soggy conditions

:02:25.:02:30.

this morning. It was silver end Delhi, but gold today. The Kenyans

:02:31.:02:40.

got gold and silver in the women's marathon. The metals continue to

:02:41.:02:49.

come in the poll with the likes of Fran Halsall and Chris

:02:50.:02:58.

Walker-Hebborn getting success. So, all the teams through to the

:02:59.:03:03.

semi-finals at Ibrox. Looking ahead to the semi-finals and looking back

:03:04.:03:07.

at the quarterfinals, John joins us now.

:03:08.:03:14.

No home nations, but we had magnificent quarterfinals. First

:03:15.:03:28.

things first, it was hard to beat. Top quality, exciting, physical,

:03:29.:03:35.

great atmosphere... If anyone was going to get through, it had to be

:03:36.:03:41.

Wales. That one missed opportunity in the three on one, that was aired.

:03:42.:03:51.

England went close as well, but the tackle area was a huge influence on

:03:52.:03:56.

the results of the matches. New Zealand are the clear favourites,

:03:57.:04:01.

but South Africa have pace and I think that South Africa will be a

:04:02.:04:07.

real threat. If we look at both the semi-finals, when you consider New

:04:08.:04:10.

Zealand against Australia, we always say, the one team that is never

:04:11.:04:13.

intimidated by say, the one team that is never

:04:14.:04:18.

Australian side. They struggled in the first part of the game against

:04:19.:04:22.

Wales, but they got better and found a way to

:04:23.:04:27.

Wales, but they got better and found good sites do. No one has managed to

:04:28.:04:30.

beat New Zealand in a Commonwealth Games mats and Australia will fancy

:04:31.:04:38.

their chances. -- match. Australia have a good team structure and they

:04:39.:04:42.

have individual players who can do that magic, if the game is very

:04:43.:04:47.

tight. Australia, they have a powerful side. They have been

:04:48.:04:57.

tight. Australia, they have a aggressive. They might look for the

:04:58.:05:01.

contact against New Zealand, but it has been a fascinating couple of

:05:02.:05:05.

days with great rugby. The winners will be? I think it will be a New

:05:06.:05:10.

Zealand South Africa final. Same for me. Two fantastic semi-finals to

:05:11.:05:19.

come this evening. The final later tonight. Should be a wonderful

:05:20.:05:24.

climax to what has been a sensational two days. And another

:05:25.:05:28.

full house tonight to watch the rugby in Glasgow. The rugby has been

:05:29.:05:38.

a roaring success. This is the line-up for the semi-finals. New

:05:39.:05:49.

Zealand will play Australia who beat Wales. Samoa who beat England will

:05:50.:06:00.

the semi-finals at around 6:45pm this evening. All the sports are

:06:01.:06:10.

live on our website. We are now going to turn our attention to

:06:11.:06:13.

shooting and we will head to Carnoustie. Shot gun requires

:06:14.:06:27.

competitors to shoot at moving dark -- targets, called clays. They are

:06:28.:06:33.

launched into the air in different directions. Targets are released on

:06:34.:06:38.

or after a command from the shooter. A head is declared when one visible

:06:39.:06:42.

piece of clay is seen to fall from the target. -- hit. Targets travel

:06:43.:06:50.

at the speed of 60 mph. In all shotgun events, the shooter has to

:06:51.:06:54.

be standing with both hands supporting the gun. In Glasgow,

:06:55.:06:58.

there are three separate shotgun events, Skeet, trap and double

:06:59.:07:04.

trap. In Skeet, one or two plays are launched at different heights. One

:07:05.:07:09.

is just over three metres and the other just over one metre. In the

:07:10.:07:12.

trap event, shooters fire at single clays. They get two shots per target

:07:13.:07:19.

and qualification, but only one in the final. In double trap, shooters

:07:20.:07:25.

stand 15 metres away while two plays are launched. The shooters have one

:07:26.:07:30.

shot at each clay. In all events, the top six shooters and fans to the

:07:31.:07:38.

semi-finals. -- advance. The essential guide to shooting. They

:07:39.:07:45.

take place close to the world-famous courses at Carnoustie. It is the

:07:46.:07:49.

women's final that we are concentrating on. Charlotte Kerwood

:07:50.:07:56.

has won the previous two titles and her team-mate won silver. So, the

:07:57.:08:09.

final round of competition in the women's double trap not far from

:08:10.:08:24.

getting underway. Singh to lead the field out. She takes a clean double.

:08:25.:08:34.

Now, the Australian. The view from the trap house as she resets

:08:35.:08:49.

herself. She puts one down, now Charlotte Kerwood, she is the

:08:50.:08:55.

competition leader. Smacks the shelves away into the basket. --

:08:56.:09:10.

shales. -- shells. There is no semifinal. The protocol is that if

:09:11.:09:15.

it is not an Olympic event, there is no final series. The middle is

:09:16.:09:19.

determined on the qualifying round alone. Cynthia Meyer from Canada.

:09:20.:09:38.

She is in the silver medal position based on averages. She drops a

:09:39.:09:52.

target. At the moment, this is the leader. Charlotte Kerwood full she

:09:53.:10:08.

puts down a bird. Her team-mates are watching on. Back to car would now.

:10:09.:10:31.

-- Charlotte Kerwood. The pressure is beginning to build, she drops

:10:32.:10:36.

another target. She has a substantial lead. Singh has also

:10:37.:10:58.

dropped a target. She has a considerable lead. Kerwood drops

:10:59.:11:05.

another. Three targets she has put down. So the pressure could be

:11:06.:11:15.

taking its toll. Mental discipline required to hold it together. Lots

:11:16.:11:24.

of experience required. Shreyasi Singh drops another target. So it is

:11:25.:11:32.

wide open, this race for the gold medal. Back to Kerwood. Can she get

:11:33.:11:42.

herself together? She does. On track for another double. Cynthia Meyer a

:11:43.:11:53.

veteran of Commonwealth Games competition. Back to Shreyasi Singh.

:11:54.:12:01.

Sitting in second on the rankings. She takes the double.

:12:02.:12:08.

APPLAUSE The scale you know. -- the

:12:09.:12:18.

Australian now. Drops another double. Kerwood misses another

:12:19.:12:26.

target. The gap between Kerwood and Shreyasi Singh is closing. Shreyasi

:12:27.:12:37.

Singh now. She drops another single target, so very volatile. Cynthia

:12:38.:12:44.

Meyer this sneaking up the rankings. Keep an eye on her

:12:45.:12:52.

performance from now on. Kerwood also dropped another target. Cynthia

:12:53.:12:58.

Mia from Canada, one to watch. -- Cynthia Meyer. She also drops a

:12:59.:13:05.

target. The computer based on averages has Cynthia Meyer in bronze

:13:06.:13:10.

position. Shreyasi Singh drops a double. Dropping and double will

:13:11.:13:21.

change things again potentially. Now to Kerwood. For. -- she drops

:13:22.:13:34.

another single target. Cynthia Meyer now getting into medal contention.

:13:35.:13:40.

APPLAUSE Shreyasi Singh finishing on five.

:13:41.:13:53.

The other squad watching on. Kerry would still holding her lead on

:13:54.:13:59.

averages but after dropping the double, the lead will be

:14:00.:14:03.

dramatically reduced. Cynthia Meyer, in medal contention. So now over to

:14:04.:14:15.

Shreyasi Singh. Slipped on average into third position. They are still

:14:16.:14:27.

in shooter in seven. -- the Australian. Kerwood drops another

:14:28.:14:35.

target. If this average continues, it will be a very close battle

:14:36.:14:40.

indeed. Cynthia Meyer from Canada drops a single target. Takes the

:14:41.:14:52.

double. Better if we can get the confidence from here on in for the

:14:53.:15:00.

last part of this competition. Kerwood back on track with a double.

:15:01.:15:09.

Cynthia Meyer no of Canada... She drops a target. Shreyasi Singh,

:15:10.:15:31.

sitting in third. Now to Kerwood and she ships the double. If she can

:15:32.:15:39.

hold that composter, she will hold on to take the gold. -- composure.

:15:40.:15:50.

Pin-mac free for her second last double of the tournament. And she

:15:51.:15:54.

drops the double. Again, major change to the standings likely. Back

:15:55.:16:08.

to Kerwood for her second last target and she drops a single. Still

:16:09.:16:20.

holding onto the lead. Now, the last round of the competition.

:16:21.:16:25.

APPLAUSE So, Shreyasi Singh finishing with a

:16:26.:16:40.

23 from 30. Charlotte Kerwood drops another to finish with a 19. Cynthia

:16:41.:16:54.

Meyer of Canada, Charlotte Kerwood, unofficial, has won the gold medal.

:16:55.:16:59.

Charlotte Kerwood of England. It is unofficial. We have to Commonwealth

:17:07.:17:14.

Charlotte Kerwood! Charlotte Kerwood is the gold medal list. Charlotte

:17:15.:17:19.

Kerwood of England takes the gold medal in a seesawing battle in the

:17:20.:17:22.

final stages of the women's double trap. She did it in Melbourne in

:18:16.:18:23.

good! Tremendous performance from

:18:24.:18:24.

Charlotte Kerwood who held on out to the death. She was soon followed by

:18:25.:18:30.

Rachel Parish, who is entirely self funded and one silver previously and

:18:31.:18:38.

took bronze in a dramatic shift off. Terrific afternoon and

:18:39.:18:41.

congratulations to Charlotte hit Kerwood. We will now move over to

:18:42.:18:48.

the SECC were... I have been talking about the fantastic atmosphere at

:18:49.:18:51.

Ibrox for the rugby sevens, but tremendous atmosphere in the SECC

:18:52.:18:55.

yesterday in the boxing. We will now feature a man who was on

:18:56.:19:01.

yesterday's programme. Joseph Cortina is on a mission to

:19:02.:19:02.

yesterday's programme. Joseph Cortina is on a mission claim a

:19:03.:19:11.

called for Wales. Our commentator looks ahead to the bed. Welcome to

:19:12.:19:20.

the SECC in the round of 16. 15 home nations boxers will be boxing today

:19:21.:19:25.

to move into the quarterfinals. On yesterday's evidence, the home

:19:26.:19:32.

nations boxers cruise food, didn't it? -- cruised through. I think

:19:33.:19:41.

you'll find they are probably a lot technically better than some of

:19:42.:19:44.

other nations here. The African nations are strong physically but

:19:45.:19:47.

lacked technical ability. Our boxers would be able to jabber a lot and

:19:48.:19:56.

think about speed and movement. -- jab. They try to get through

:19:57.:20:02.

multiple rounds today after day and try to cruise through these early

:20:03.:20:08.

rounds. Absolutely. You have to think further on in the

:20:09.:20:11.

competition. It will take four or five competitions to win gold. You

:20:12.:20:17.

have to save your energy because there is no head guards and you have

:20:18.:20:22.

to watch out for cuts. If you can box at distance, make him miss, get

:20:23.:20:27.

the opponent, save energy, you are saving energy for later on in the

:20:28.:20:33.

tournament. The Welshman boxing today, he cruised through

:20:34.:20:37.

yesterday. His opponent, Gauthier, what do we know about him? It will

:20:38.:20:43.

be revenge for Cortina. He has improved. Gauthier beat him in

:20:44.:20:50.

Canada. We are on British soil so I am expecting him to go through.

:20:51.:20:54.

Yesterday's fight against Pat MacCormack was tremendous, it really

:20:55.:20:58.

was. But I think there is more to come and now is the perfect time

:20:59.:21:04.

against someone who is beginning. Gotti had a bit yesterday. --

:21:05.:21:12.

Gauthier. That does not always work for you. I would seek ten matters

:21:13.:21:31.

probably the favour. -- Joe Cordina is probably the favourite.

:21:32.:21:37.

The Welsh boxer got off to a great start in the opening exchanges. Joe

:21:38.:21:42.

Cordina, he is one to watch. He could be one of the stars of Glasgow

:21:43.:21:48.

2014. We will join it at the start of the second round.

:21:49.:21:58.

To the second round we go. Joe Cordina enjoyed a dominant opening

:21:59.:22:06.

round and took it unanimously but only by 10-9. Gauthier moving side

:22:07.:22:11.

to side rather than coming forward in straight lines. Trying to find a

:22:12.:22:20.

way in to launch had, arcing hunches. Punches. That is why Bone

:22:21.:22:32.

has to be important for Joe Cordina. He is going to faint that

:22:33.:22:40.

jab and bring it into the left and right hook. Gauthier, 31 years of

:22:41.:22:49.

age, reigning national champion of Canada. Good to punch combination

:22:50.:22:58.

from Tim actually. Froze his punches very rapidly and in bunches. Good

:22:59.:23:04.

left jab from Joe Cordina at distance. It is important for him to

:23:05.:23:13.

be first and fast with the jab and let his opponent come back at him

:23:14.:23:19.

again. First and third boxing. Got to be sharp and crisp. Got to have

:23:20.:23:25.

fast reflexes and reactions to box like this and he has got those. They

:23:26.:23:35.

are working away, referee not calling stock or break. He now

:23:36.:23:39.

separates the two boxers at the halfway stage of the second-round.

:23:40.:23:48.

Working away to the body is Gauthier. Along right hand as well.

:23:49.:23:55.

The evil, that is the one. -- the Google. Cortina looking very

:23:56.:24:06.

impressive. Gauthier comes forward in square fashion presenting a big

:24:07.:24:11.

target to ten Mac. Beautiful left hand again from the man in blue. It

:24:12.:24:19.

is about triggering that response. You know he will come for you and

:24:20.:24:25.

fast bursts. You have to adjust your feet with fast reactions and

:24:26.:24:29.

reflexes. Joe Cordina boxing very well here. I think he is starting to

:24:30.:24:38.

frustrate Tim actually. -- Gauthier. Joe Cordina continuing,

:24:39.:24:51.

back to an orthodox stance. He comes square, pin-mac two. He can box as a

:24:52.:24:56.

southpaw and he has won the second-round again for me. Colin

:24:57.:25:03.

Jones issuing instructions in the Welsh corner. Some work here. Great

:25:04.:25:11.

left hook from that exchange as the breakaway. He is back to the safety.

:25:12.:25:16.

He is the man rushing it. Got away with it here and finishes on the

:25:17.:25:21.

left of Joe Cordina. Good shot. Got to trigger that response. One round

:25:22.:25:41.

to go. Expect the man wearing red to come out hard and fast.

:25:42.:25:56.

Into the third and final round. Joe Cordina wearing blue represent

:25:57.:26:17.

Wales. -- representing Wales. He puts 68 on the ropes with a right

:26:18.:26:28.

hook. -- the Canadians will know that their man is behind --

:26:29.:26:33.

Gauthier. Joe Cordina has to keep cool and box sensibly and bring him

:26:34.:26:44.

onto his shots. This is a rematch from May of this year. Joe Cordina

:26:45.:26:49.

within Canada boxing against Gauthier at a training camp.

:26:50.:26:55.

Gauthier prevails on that occasion. A different proposition here. --

:26:56.:27:02.

prevails. He is getting more and more reckless. He is open to a right

:27:03.:27:17.

uppercut here. A bit reckless coming forward. Heads are coming together

:27:18.:27:25.

at close range. The referee telling both boxers to be aware of that.

:27:26.:27:31.

Gauthier being reduced to head long ball rushes. Firing hoax. Getting

:27:32.:27:40.

himself increasingly into a tangle. Joe Cordina is composed. The

:27:41.:27:45.

Welshman is Joe Cordina is composed. The

:27:46.:27:57.

through to the quarterfinals. That is better, Joe Cordina. Bring him

:27:58.:28:02.

through to the quarterfinals. That onto the shots, do not get careless.

:28:03.:28:03.

Lovely work. Good use of the onto the shots, do not get careless.

:28:04.:28:28.

David Gauthier keeps on coming but onto the shots, do not get careless.

:28:29.:28:33.

he is paying a heavy price. Joe Cordina has his measure, he is

:28:34.:28:43.

quicker to the punch. He is too predictable, David Gauthier, he has

:28:44.:28:46.

Joe Cordina, what a wonderful performance,

:28:47.:29:12.

Joe Cordina, what a wonderful intelligence, great use of the feet.

:29:13.:29:13.

His composure was admirable. We will await the official verdict, but

:29:14.:29:22.

Batman boxed very well. Very good display -- that man. He got the

:29:23.:29:28.

accuracy right. Speed, precision with that left hook. Spun his

:29:29.:29:36.

opponent around, lovely work. He looked focused, used his jab very

:29:37.:29:42.

well. David Gauthier got more predictable as the contest went on.

:29:43.:30:12.

A unanimous decision in favour of the winner, now progressing to the

:30:13.:30:18.

quarterfinals, Joe Cordina. APPLAUSE. Ladies and gentlemen,

:30:19.:30:37.

David Gauthier. Nice to see that embrace between the two boxers. Joe

:30:38.:30:41.

Cordina is in the quarterfinals with that impressive display.

:30:42.:30:45.

Cordina is in the quarterfinals with eliminates David Gauthier and is one

:30:46.:30:48.

when our way from a guaranteed place on the podium. Take a bow, you are

:30:49.:30:57.

through to the quarterfinals. What an impressive start. I did not

:30:58.:31:05.

expect that. I was going to try and box long. I know he is strong. I put

:31:06.:31:14.

him down in the first round. That must have given new confidence. I

:31:15.:31:17.

did not want to rush into things after that's. I just boxed bee on my

:31:18.:31:26.

jab. Stuck to the game plan. -- beyond. It was not as I planned, but

:31:27.:31:37.

I got the win. Must have been nice to get your revenge? Yes. Since I

:31:38.:31:49.

boxed him, that was all I wanted. Now, I got my chance. How tempting

:31:50.:31:59.

is it now to look at the next bout? I boxed one of them before, the boy

:32:00.:32:05.

from New Zealand. I do not know much about the other guy. I will have a

:32:06.:32:12.

little look and see what the task ahead of me will bring. One more

:32:13.:32:16.

fight and you are through to the medals. That is all I want, gold

:32:17.:32:25.

medals. Nicely spoken lad as well as to reflect boxer. Interesting about

:32:26.:32:32.

him, he went into boxing at 15. The squash is available online. A

:32:33.:32:38.

brilliant game there. The reigning Malaysia and champion Nicole David

:32:39.:32:41.

has been at the top of the world rankings since August 2006 and after

:32:42.:32:46.

beating the English competitor, she is taking on Joelle King. You can

:32:47.:32:55.

watch that online. We are going to head to Kelvingrove and if you think

:32:56.:33:00.

that Bowles is the date, you know nothing, because I will take you

:33:01.:33:04.

over there now for another incredible matchup. Paul Foster and

:33:05.:33:10.

Alex Marshall are doing battle with Andy Knapper in England. This dual

:33:11.:33:18.

or on the verge of causing an upset, they are leading. We will pick up

:33:19.:33:28.

the action in the last end. What a scalp it would be for England. It is

:33:29.:33:45.

not coming back from there. A bit of wind coming up there. I do not know

:33:46.:33:49.

if it affected the ball. It is certainly gusting now. Alex needs to

:33:50.:33:59.

play this, if he can get an angle off the short Bowles, I cannot see

:34:00.:34:05.

anything else to do. It looks like that is the lane he has to hit. Paul

:34:06.:34:15.

Foster could not find it on this occasion. He is going to go backhand

:34:16.:34:30.

side. -- go onto the backhand side. He has not played many bowls down

:34:31.:34:39.

here. Will he hold? Looking for the ball. I do not know if that is a

:34:40.:34:56.

percentage there. He tried it. He is as in Alex if it is OK to go up and

:34:57.:35:05.

take a look. He says yes. Good sports, these players. It has been a

:35:06.:35:10.

great game. You cannot use anything between them. It is fitting that

:35:11.:35:14.

they had been given a bit more time. Such a difference. He would like to

:35:15.:35:32.

try and kill it off totally, but he will not be able to widen the

:35:33.:35:37.

target. I think that is why he played backhand, because he did not

:35:38.:35:43.

want to put his bowl in the gap between the Scottish Bowles. --

:35:44.:35:55.

bowls. England seem to have the better position, Scotland have two

:35:56.:36:02.

bowls left. The second last for England. He is going for a deep

:36:03.:36:12.

bowl, covering the back position. He is saying, if you want to draw the

:36:13.:36:17.

shot, you carry on. It will not be easy to do that. The wind is picking

:36:18.:36:23.

up as well. Nothing has changed, but he may not have liked the backhand.

:36:24.:36:30.

Will he pick it up on the forehand. --?

:36:31.:36:40.

Backhand it is, persevere. Higher line. Will he get the drop? He is

:36:41.:36:58.

very close, he has drawn at! What a bowl by Alex Marshall. The crowd are

:36:59.:37:05.

on their feet. Brilliant! It was needed and he delivered. Boy, did he

:37:06.:37:15.

deliver. It is a trickier side and he rose to it. The challenge was

:37:16.:37:21.

deliver. It is a trickier side and laid down by Sam stop --. The

:37:22.:37:32.

weather worsens, we may have another end. Can Sam reply? Sam on the

:37:33.:37:48.

forehand, looking for an angle off the bowls. He is giving it a great

:37:49.:37:55.

try. Fantastic effort. It is tremendous. Now then,

:37:56.:38:01.

try. Fantastic effort. It is try and draw another one. --? He

:38:02.:38:11.

needs to go for the win. The wind has picked up, heavy rain. What a

:38:12.:38:16.

finish to this semifinal. It has everything. I cannot think of

:38:17.:38:24.

anything that this match has lacked. Four players playing well, good

:38:25.:38:25.

heads, great shots. memorable match no matter who wins.

:38:26.:38:48.

Alex Marshall, can you win it with this bowl? One more -- he has won

:38:49.:38:57.

more indoor singles titles than any other player. Now, he is

:38:58.:39:10.

more indoor singles titles than any and self on the mat, gets a grip.

:39:11.:39:19.

The wind is blowing -- himself. He is on a line with this. He is on a

:39:20.:39:23.

line! He is drawing mess. What a is on a line with this. He is on a

:39:24.:39:33.

bowl! Absolute genius -- this. The crowd are on their feet. I

:39:34.:39:37.

bowl! Absolute genius -- this. The never seen anything like it. Delight

:39:38.:39:41.

for Scotland, they will play in the men's pairs final in the

:39:42.:39:45.

Commonwealth Games. They have a chance to do it all again at the

:39:46.:39:52.

expense of the English team. England were great. Scotland were better.

:39:53.:40:01.

One marvellous finish, a tremendous game of bowls. Credit to them, but

:40:02.:40:09.

what a finish. Marshall is a God in Scotland. If our legs -- Alex

:40:10.:40:15.

Marshall has played two better bowls he will need to go something to beat

:40:16.:40:26.

these two. Rhyme the back. -- round the back. Paul Foster could not

:40:27.:40:33.

believe it. Under the conditions, two of the best bowls I have ever

:40:34.:40:38.

seen. Unbelievable, look at that. Fantastic. We put together a

:40:39.:40:48.

fantastic montage at the end of the Commonwealth Games or any Games and

:40:49.:40:58.

I am sure that will feature. He is an institution. He has been in these

:40:59.:41:04.

games four years, Alex Marshall. Brilliant play a game from the

:41:05.:41:19.

Scotland boys. Today is one of the busiest days of the Gains because

:41:20.:41:22.

this is the only day we have the track cycling. We also have this

:41:23.:41:26.

running programme and start of the athletics merging together in a

:41:27.:41:30.

perfect sporting Storm. We're fat the men and women's marathon events

:41:31.:41:34.

this morning and soon we will be going to hand in to try a brand-new

:41:35.:41:41.

track. -- we have had. It is a fast track as well, judging from the

:41:42.:41:44.

recent Diamond League meet. Just perfect as the Commonwealth sprint

:41:45.:41:50.

stars settle into the men and women's 100 metres heats. We shall

:41:51.:41:59.

see one of the global stars of the games from bus line as she sets out

:42:00.:42:04.

to defend her 100 metres title. From the south side of Glasgow to the

:42:05.:42:07.

east end, bicycles made for two are twice as much fun to watch

:42:08.:42:10.

anti-women's time trial could be the whole nationhighlight. -- and the

:42:11.:42:21.

women's. And it is the double trap final. Quarterfinal places are being

:42:22.:42:28.

fought for in nine weight categories over the SECC in the boxing will

:42:29.:42:32.

stop that is on the red button right now. Press red and pressed blue for

:42:33.:42:40.

the film menu options. A late start for the final day of the cycling.

:42:41.:42:44.

That starts at three p.m.. Lots to enjoy. And you'll is attempting to

:42:45.:42:48.

become the most successful track cyclist ever the Commonwealth Games.

:42:49.:42:52.

We also have the women's points race, men's scratch, and Martin

:42:53.:43:02.

Irvine is in the mix. Peterkin at for the Isle of Man as well.

:43:03.:43:06.

Available to you any time via the red button and online. Now time to

:43:07.:43:12.

head for the home of Scottish football, Hampden Park. It has been

:43:13.:43:15.

transformed over the last couple of months. They raised the surface by

:43:16.:43:20.

two metres and put a brand-new track in there. This is not exactly new

:43:21.:43:24.

for athletics because obviously we had the Diamond League try out a

:43:25.:43:27.

couple of weekends ago and before that athletics has been staged at

:43:28.:43:33.

Hampden Park, although not since the 1920s and 1930s. Eric Liddell, the

:43:34.:43:40.

1924 Olympics 400 metres champion made his last British appearance at

:43:41.:43:45.

Hampden Park in Glasgow. Way back when. Think it was 1925. Time to

:43:46.:43:52.

head to Hampden Park. A couple of miles south to the Mount Florida

:43:53.:43:56.

area will stop Scotland's national team is not played a match here

:43:57.:44:00.

since what has been going on at the stadium so we have not hand the

:44:01.:44:03.

Hampden roar for a while. If you're someone asking you what the hand and

:44:04.:44:09.

is, it is rhyming slang for the Hampden roar as in score. Which

:44:10.:44:13.

means, how is it going? That is a phrase of the day. Gabby Logan, what

:44:14.:44:19.

is happening with you? All is well, because we are looking

:44:20.:44:24.

at an almost feel Hampden Park, which is fantastic. Michael Johnson

:44:25.:44:28.

and Denise Lewis, your first experience of it. We were given the

:44:29.:44:33.

Diamond League and it was a bit disappointing. A thoughtful. Did not

:44:34.:44:37.

quite get the raw that day but we experienced its today. I have to

:44:38.:44:42.

say, the energy from the spectators is amazing. We're all want up, stage

:44:43.:44:49.

is set, a good couple of days of athletics and I am really excited.

:44:50.:44:52.

We have gone from the longest events in athletics, the marathon, the men

:44:53.:44:58.

and women's races, and now we have the 100m heats. If anything is to be

:44:59.:45:03.

taken from the Diamond League is that it is a fast track. We had

:45:04.:45:12.

personal bests and records. It is a fantastic venue and stadium.

:45:13.:45:18.

Athletes love to run and a stadium where they are going to be in the

:45:19.:45:23.

Championships. I am sure that is somewhat a vision for the Diamond

:45:24.:45:27.

League event. The 100m heard is wide open so we should see great

:45:28.:45:31.

competition, because they are not a lot of big names here. A lot are

:45:32.:45:35.

missing but the Commonwealth Games is an opportunity for young and

:45:36.:45:39.

up-and-coming athletes. It is your first experience of this place. It

:45:40.:45:42.

has hosted European Championship football finals, had as many as

:45:43.:45:48.

160,000 people here in the 1930s. Just over the 40,000 capacity. What

:45:49.:45:54.

a great model potentially this is converting stadiums are not having

:45:55.:45:58.

to spend ?120 million on a new stadium. Spending ten or 15 million

:45:59.:46:04.

to convert a stadium that exists. It is a very intimate venue which is

:46:05.:46:06.

great for athletics. There's nothing worse in athletics than to see a

:46:07.:46:12.

huge stadium half fill or even. This is a great, intimate setting here.

:46:13.:46:17.

You cannot even tell that there are 10,000 more seats. They are

:46:18.:46:24.

announcing the line-up for the first of their men's events. Let's get you

:46:25.:46:29.

down to the tracks. Thank you, and good afternoon. If

:46:30.:46:36.

you were not here for the marathons this morning, then welcome to

:46:37.:46:39.

Hampden Park in a blustery afternoon. It is pretty cool. Lovely

:46:40.:46:45.

marathon conditions, maybe Chile for the sprinters, but the 100m will set

:46:46.:46:50.

is underway in the track and field programme. Nine heats as Gary the --

:46:51.:46:57.

is Gabby Logan said. Bailey-Cole will be the favourite for Jamaica.

:46:58.:47:02.

He has been close to ten seconds this year. Two Kenyan sprinters in

:47:03.:47:15.

this event. From the inside, we were meant to have Adam of Cameroon in

:47:16.:47:18.

lane one but he is not meant to have Adam of Cameroon in

:47:19.:47:23.

lane starting. So it is the Canadian in lane two. Josh Hamilton from St

:47:24.:47:26.

Vincent and the Grenadines in three. The form book says it should be the

:47:27.:47:47.

Barbadian in lane five and the man next to him in lane six. Elliott in

:47:48.:47:59.

the year, good performances in Germany. Bailey Cole, fourth in the

:48:00.:48:14.

World Championships last year. Clean start. Excellent start for the

:48:15.:48:17.

Canadian. Right in the middle, striding away. Those two will go

:48:18.:48:25.

through. Lovely running there. 10.16. Did not need to go that fast.

:48:26.:48:33.

The form book certainly in this first heat goes to him. A good start

:48:34.:48:43.

and a good chance of getting through as a fastest loser. Welcome to the

:48:44.:48:50.

commentary box and the Commonwealth Games. Not a bad start from

:48:51.:49:00.

Bailey-Cole. May start indeed. The finish is crucial. If you remember

:49:01.:49:03.

last year, he was not a great starter because he is tall. It takes

:49:04.:49:08.

time to unwind. He trains with Usain Bolt so he is used to being pushed

:49:09.:49:12.

in training. He got up quickly here but there was no stress, to be

:49:13.:49:16.

honest. It is about the qualifications to him and to feel

:49:17.:49:20.

out the track. He changed his other way through the run. He got off the

:49:21.:49:26.

blocks and got off right, then he put his foot down and slowed down a

:49:27.:49:30.

bit, then went quicker. He's just getting the feel of this. It is a

:49:31.:49:34.

bit chilly, as you said. Conditions are not bad indeed.

:49:35.:49:40.

bit chilly, as you said. Conditions will not watching a couple of weeks

:49:41.:49:43.

ago, one of the comments was that this is a quick track. We would not

:49:44.:49:46.

normally expect that quickness in the first round of the 100m but

:49:47.:49:50.

maybe that is evidence that we might be in for some good times here.

:49:51.:49:56.

Bailey-Cole, 10.16 winning time. Those two definitely qualifying. The

:49:57.:50:06.

winner of the very first heat is now with Phil Jones.

:50:07.:50:11.

Congratulations on that comfortable victory. You have already won in the

:50:12.:50:16.

Diamond League meeting and have come here now. How quick is it? It is

:50:17.:50:26.

average, but still, it is very quick, because the Diamond League

:50:27.:50:35.

proved it. I ran 10.13. It is not that quick. We're are used to seeing

:50:36.:50:43.

the likes of Usain Bolt here and you're carrying the mantle for

:50:44.:50:46.

Jamaica. How does that sit on your shoulders? No pressure. I have come

:50:47.:50:54.

you to do my thing and run. He started off impressively. A much

:50:55.:50:57.

more is there to come from you? You just have to watch and see. We will

:50:58.:51:03.

watch and see tomorrow in the semifinals and hopefully the final.

:51:04.:51:06.

Thank you for talking to us. Thank you.

:51:07.:51:11.

He might be carrying the mantle for the Jamaican sprint team but he has

:51:12.:51:14.

not got that Usain Bolt charisma down to the fine arts just yet,

:51:15.:51:19.

Bailey-Cole. He was the fourth placed athlete in the 100 metres

:51:20.:51:23.

final last year in Moscow, the third Jamaican. That is a big step up to

:51:24.:51:27.

suddenly become the man. We have only taken ten minutes to mention

:51:28.:51:31.

Usain Bolt is not here in the individual. He will be here for the

:51:32.:51:34.

relay. This is the chance for him to get on the podium and have that

:51:35.:51:37.

attention and kind of experience and pressure. This is a great

:51:38.:51:43.

opportunity for him. He is one of those athletes for which the

:51:44.:51:45.

Commonwealth Games is a fantastic opportunity for him to go out there.

:51:46.:51:49.

If he can go out and win a Championship year, it bodes well for

:51:50.:51:53.

his chances going into the next two years of the World Championships and

:51:54.:51:57.

Olympic Games. Once you have won a gold medal at the Championship, it

:51:58.:52:02.

does not matter what it is, you know you can compete at Championship

:52:03.:52:06.

level. That is an incredible confidence booster and that is what

:52:07.:52:09.

the Commonwealth Games is all about for athletes at this calibre. Of

:52:10.:52:13.

course, it in training with Usain Bolt and his coach and that quick,

:52:14.:52:17.

that will give him confidence. But you have to ultimately produce

:52:18.:52:22.

Championship hardware and he has the opportunity here. As to not be in

:52:23.:52:26.

the shadow in these first few days. It is the heats today, semifinal

:52:27.:52:30.

tomorrow. Usain Bolt made his presence very clear when he came

:52:31.:52:34.

into town. We might see that later on. He is in Glasgow. Jamaican

:52:35.:52:40.

sprinting is looking to get out there and produce the goods.

:52:41.:52:45.

Absolutely. They have a great traditions printing and want to

:52:46.:52:48.

continue that. It is all well and good having such good athletes, but

:52:49.:52:54.

a discontinuity and depth and giving up the tradition. He is perfectly

:52:55.:53:01.

poised to do that. He is a tall guy and has a lot of experience on the

:53:02.:53:05.

socket. It is good to put out good times but like Michael said, it is

:53:06.:53:08.

about delivering when it matters at Championships. Let's see who the

:53:09.:53:12.

next athletes are to join him in those semifinals tomorrow. Nobody in

:53:13.:53:19.

the next heat has run some ten but we have a couple have come close. --

:53:20.:53:25.

below ten. Very different build to Bailey-Cole.

:53:26.:53:32.

Jason Livermore. He has gone 10.05 this season, personal best. The

:53:33.:53:37.

other member of the Jamaican team... Timothy Abeyie used to race

:53:38.:53:46.

for Great Britain. A winner in 2006 but now racing Fergana. -- racing

:53:47.:53:56.

for Dannatt. He will be looking for the top two automatic places. The

:53:57.:54:02.

Singaporean there, and Jason Rogers. They are the other to form

:54:03.:54:09.

men here and expect them to get the two automatic pleases if all goes to

:54:10.:54:11.

plan. The man with that here, Jason

:54:12.:54:40.

Livermore, in lane three. He might well be the man to catch. First to

:54:41.:54:47.

go through automatically, first six fastest losers go through as well.

:54:48.:54:52.

Second of the heats and the men's 100m. Now, looking at the man from

:54:53.:55:06.

Papua New Guinea in the red in lane five. A little twitch in Lane 1 from

:55:07.:55:24.

the contender from Fiji. Head bowed, he knew it was his blame and he may

:55:25.:55:38.

get the red card. The first false start of the Games. Before he has

:55:39.:55:57.

even run, he is out. A real shame. Hello! He looks to be going back to

:55:58.:56:07.

his starting blocks. That is the chief starter. On the computer, the

:56:08.:56:18.

reaction time... Came up as .194. Is that a let off? Yellow card, Colin

:56:19.:56:28.

Jackson. There was definitely movement. He left his blocks before.

:56:29.:56:35.

Yet, on the computers, it said statistically he did not react. It

:56:36.:56:40.

is making me scratch my head, that is a worry. It is the Friendly

:56:41.:56:52.

Games. As we were a couple of minutes ago. The contender from Fiji

:56:53.:57:05.

is still with us. Jason Levermore is in Lane 3. These heats are about

:57:06.:57:11.

avoiding pitfalls. -- Jason Livermore. Away cleanly this time

:57:12.:57:25.

and Jason Livermore goes well in deed and Jason Rogers as well. It is

:57:26.:57:35.

Jason Livermore getting through. The winner is Jason Livermore. Slightly

:57:36.:57:46.

slower than the first heat. Jason Livermore goes through, the

:57:47.:57:48.

automatic qualifier along with Jason Rogers. The others will wait and see

:57:49.:57:55.

if their time of getting through, including contender from Ghana, will

:57:56.:58:00.

be enough. Jamaica wins the second heat. An interesting race, a lot of

:58:01.:58:09.

action from the beginning. The sprinters are all raring to go. They

:58:10.:58:15.

have heard rumours of how quick it is. For me, this is about the

:58:16.:58:19.

athletes getting a nice is. For me, this is about the

:58:20.:58:28.

out. It is minimal headwind, it will not affect the runners at all. The

:58:29.:58:33.

most important thing is for them to stretch their legs and feet what the

:58:34.:58:39.

situation is. Were we talk about the Jamaican sprinters, they seem to

:58:40.:58:43.

come from one or two groups. -- when we talk. Jason Livermore does not

:58:44.:58:50.

belong to any of those groups. For him, it is the team he loves being

:58:51.:58:57.

involved with. No doubt, we will see him in the relay later. This is

:58:58.:59:03.

involved with. No doubt, we will see nice performance, early in the round

:59:04.:59:03.

and I think he will be happy just to qualify comfortably. Just to let you

:59:04.:59:13.

know, live on BBC Three there is an all England final in the men's

:59:14.:59:19.

double trap. Andrew French and Steve Scott contesting should you choose

:59:20.:59:25.

to dip in. We are staying with the 100-metre heats. The women will go

:59:26.:59:31.

later. We have had two already. No English printers yet. They are

:59:32.:59:38.

spread out through the later stages -- sprinters. It has been one of

:59:39.:59:43.

those seasons where we got quite excited about British sprinting. Had

:59:44.:59:48.

you been looking at how they have been doing? A little bit. It has

:59:49.:59:56.

been a strange year. The big names are out and it opens up the

:59:57.:00:00.

opportunity for some others to come through. We have been hearing over

:00:01.:00:05.

the last several years, it is all about the Jamaican sprinters. Usain

:00:06.:00:13.

Bolt isn't really competing, so that gives us an opportunity to see some

:00:14.:00:18.

of the young Jamaicans. They have quite a bit of talent coming up and

:00:19.:00:24.

it is worrying for the Americans to see who is coming through. There is

:00:25.:00:30.

tremendous talent. What about the British competitors? The three we

:00:31.:00:36.

will see today, including Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and four, they are

:00:37.:00:50.

producing the goods -- Adam Gemili. It will be interesting to see what

:00:51.:00:59.

he can do at the Championship level. We saw Adam Gemili handle himself

:01:00.:01:06.

well at the Olympics and his talent is obvious. He is technically

:01:07.:01:12.

amazing and it is time for him to ratchet it up. I will be

:01:13.:01:16.

disappointed if he does not get a medal, it is a great opportunity.

:01:17.:01:24.

Harry Aikines-Aryeetey has been around for a long time and had

:01:25.:01:28.

injuries, but he has run a personal best this year which might see him

:01:29.:01:32.

start to come through. Adam Gemili is the one that you really look that

:01:33.:01:37.

as the possible future of British printing. You take these athletes

:01:38.:01:42.

and match them up against the new young Jamaicans, it is an even

:01:43.:01:52.

competition -- sprinting. We talk about Richard winning the indoor

:01:53.:01:56.

Championships, but we have not seen that transition taking place

:01:57.:02:00.

outdoors. You would think mentally he would be struggling. When you win

:02:01.:02:08.

something, it should give you that confidence. We have not seen that

:02:09.:02:14.

chance their outside, so that does speak to what kind of mental

:02:15.:02:19.

approach he has and who he is being coached by. We will talk more later.

:02:20.:02:30.

Here is the third heat. Richard Kilty comes up in Heat 7. Adam

:02:31.:02:41.

Gemili is in Heat 6. Richard Thompson, the number one ranked

:02:42.:02:46.

Commonwealth athlete. He is perhaps the favourite, but it will be

:02:47.:02:53.

difficult. Thompson has had great form, perhaps not at his best over

:02:54.:02:58.

the last couple of weeks. Here is the full line-up. Read from Northern

:02:59.:03:20.

Ireland. Warren Fraser, watch for him as well. As I said that, Walsh

:03:21.:03:33.

was off for a walk. What on earth was he doing there? That can only be

:03:34.:03:42.

nerds. He is 20 years old, but he is the Commonwealth youth champion --

:03:43.:03:51.

nerves. I do not know what happened, but he was coming into his set

:03:52.:03:57.

position and off he went. That is unusable. He has experience. --

:03:58.:04:06.

unusable -- unusual. There is a signal that he will enjoy. I have

:04:07.:04:15.

never seen anyone less disappointed to be disqualified. Walsh, he will

:04:16.:04:35.

have to stand and watch. Leon Reid running for Northern Ireland. He is

:04:36.:04:42.

from Northern Ireland. He looks a little nervous. We have got Nigeria,

:04:43.:05:05.

Thomson... Now, we think the guy from the Seychelles... I am not seen

:05:06.:05:13.

anything yet confirming that. This is interesting, we saw a clear false

:05:14.:05:19.

start and it was Leon Reid, wasn't it? That is a shame. Leon Reid has

:05:20.:05:43.

enough experience, but he did look nervous. Yes, earlier on, he looked

:05:44.:05:51.

buried anxious. Now, he will be wondering what the result is.

:05:52.:05:56.

Another disqualification! Qualification will be easier in this

:05:57.:06:05.

round! He is the second most least disappointed I have seen what off in

:06:06.:06:11.

this event. He enjoyed his moment and his better event is probably the

:06:12.:06:16.

200m. Richard Thompson is very experienced, he has been running

:06:17.:06:27.

under ten seconds. He is the man who finished ahead of CJ who did not get

:06:28.:06:38.

selected by England. Thompson in Lane 5, Fraser beside him. Jelks on

:06:39.:06:50.

the far side in the green. Cleanly away and Jelks has a good start. So

:06:51.:06:54.

does Fraser. Thomson getting away and Jelks has a good start. So

:06:55.:06:57.

his running. Thompson has some work to do. He might not get the top two.

:06:58.:07:05.

Did he know what was going on? He will go through as the fastest

:07:06.:07:15.

loser. What an earth is he doing? Jelks got a good start. Thompson did

:07:16.:07:20.

not get a great start. He looked like he was being very relaxed. I

:07:21.:07:29.

expected him to move on through. He did not move past Fraser. 10.33

:07:30.:07:37.

should be enough for him to get through. He did not react out of the

:07:38.:07:41.

blocks very well. His pick-up was laboured. I do not think he noticed

:07:42.:07:52.

what was going on around him. Jelks ran from gun to tape. Thompson came

:07:53.:08:06.

third. That surprised us, has apprised you not to be in the top

:08:07.:08:12.

two? I underestimated where the second place was. I wanted to be in

:08:13.:08:17.

the top two and automatically qualify. Hopefully I will be back

:08:18.:08:22.

tomorrow will stop the time probably will be good enough. You are coming

:08:23.:08:27.

in here as the man everyone has to beat. I feel good and I am ready to

:08:28.:08:36.

run fast tomorrow. Today was me underestimating the other guys in

:08:37.:08:40.

the field. I will be ready tomorrow. How difficult is it when you are the

:08:41.:08:45.

best in the field and there are lots of entries to get into that right

:08:46.:08:51.

mindset? It is about running around in a Championship, you cannot use

:08:52.:08:55.

too much energy in your first couple of rounds because you want to run

:08:56.:09:00.

fast in the final. It was about qualifying, getting into the next

:09:01.:09:03.

round and conserve as much energy as possible. Thank you for talking to

:09:04.:09:11.

us. He is pretty confident about coming back and he is probably

:09:12.:09:15.

right, but would you not want to make sure at qualification? Yes, and

:09:16.:09:21.

he is picking up his knees and making sure, you need to make sure

:09:22.:09:28.

you have that position correct. The underestimated his opponent --

:09:29.:09:31.

opponents and you cannot do that. We have seen people go out in the first

:09:32.:09:36.

round by taking it too easy. Let us hope that does not happen to him. We

:09:37.:09:42.

will tidy up the last couple of heats. Then we will see where he

:09:43.:09:47.

sets. The wind was in their face a bit. Jelks came in first, a good run

:09:48.:09:52.

from Fraser. We can tidy up Heat 2. bit. Jelks came in first, a good run

:09:53.:10:05.

from Fraser. We can tidy up Jason Rogers through as well. Timothy from

:10:06.:10:18.

Garner is through as well. Six fastest losers go through.

:10:19.:10:21.

Garner is through as well. Six fastest -- Gamu. Daschle Ghana. It

:10:22.:10:36.

looks as though everyone has got in, a few empty seats. The queues were

:10:37.:10:41.

very long. Everyone was patient and bank believed the rain held off and

:10:42.:10:47.

there is a great atmosphere here. -- thankfully. No one in the 100 metres

:10:48.:10:53.

for Scotland, but three competing for England and here is the first

:10:54.:11:02.

one. There is no guarantee that Harry Aikines-Aryeetey will go

:11:03.:11:07.

through automatically. There are a couple of other very good

:11:08.:11:11.

through automatically. There are a in here. Also, an interesting story

:11:12.:11:14.

about Jason Smyth from Northern Ireland, he is legally blind, he has

:11:15.:11:21.

dominated the sprinting in the Paralympics. Antoine Adams is one of

:11:22.:11:23.

the big guns. Paralympics. Antoine Adams is one of

:11:24.:11:31.

Nevis. We have seen Jason Rogers going through, in Kim Collins'

:11:32.:11:36.

absence. What a relay team they could have. Jason Smyth did the

:11:37.:11:50.

100/ 2000 -- 200 double at the last two Paralympics. He is the Northern

:11:51.:11:51.

Ireland record-holder. He has not gone that far this

:11:52.:12:04.

season. Another man to look out for, the man in Lane 1, 10.15 this

:12:05.:12:10.

season. He has gone below ten seconds before. Harry

:12:11.:12:16.

Aikines-Aryeetey has a fight on his hands to get into the top two, the

:12:17.:12:18.

automatic qualifiers. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey will have to

:12:19.:12:58.

wait and see. We knew it might be a struggle for him. So it proved, it

:12:59.:13:04.

goes down to the clock. It should be quick enough to go through, but a

:13:05.:13:10.

slight concern as we look at the winner. Since the 10.08 which he did

:13:11.:13:17.

a couple of months ago, he has tailed off, he has not gone below

:13:18.:13:21.

10.2 recently. His relative struggles go on. Harry

:13:22.:13:28.

Aikines-Aryeetey, 10.33. It was a good run from the winner. What we

:13:29.:13:34.

are going to see is new names that will blast us away with their

:13:35.:13:38.

performances. We have not seen him before that much on the circuit. You

:13:39.:13:46.

see Americans, Jamaicans, that makes the situation very difficult for the

:13:47.:13:50.

next tier of sprinters to get into the Diamond League races. But he ran

:13:51.:13:55.

a majestic grace, looking very comfortable indeed, a 1.1 tailwind.

:13:56.:14:04.

A word about Jason Smyth, six to 10% of normal vision, he finished fifth.

:14:05.:14:09.

He just tailed off in the last 20 metres, 10.66, so he probably will

:14:10.:14:15.

not go through, but it is good to see him competing. He was not far

:14:16.:14:24.

away from Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. Jason Smyth competing very

:14:25.:14:29.

strongly. He will not go through from the heats, I would not think.

:14:30.:14:35.

Jason, a piece of Commonwealth Games history today. How did you enjoy the

:14:36.:14:43.

experience? It is fantastic to be here. Representing Paralympic sport

:14:44.:14:49.

in mainstream competition. You can see for yourself, the atmosphere,

:14:50.:14:57.

how the people here have been supporting the whole competition, it

:14:58.:14:59.

is unbelievable and great to be here. How about your performance? I

:15:00.:15:09.

felt like I got out down the track, I don't know if I tightened up, I

:15:10.:15:14.

ran out of steam. It has been a first-rate India, but it is great to

:15:15.:15:21.

be here and feed off this whole experience. Harry, third place, no

:15:22.:15:33.

automatic altercation, at the same time as Richard Thompson in the

:15:34.:15:36.

previous heat, so it should be good enough to CD through. Obviously, I

:15:37.:15:44.

was hesitant at the start, given the numerous. Before me. I wanted to get

:15:45.:15:50.

through safely. I think that will get me through, but I did not

:15:51.:15:55.

execute my start well enough. I will prepare for tomorrow, make sure I

:15:56.:15:58.

come out firing. I wanted to win the heat, but I left the start somewhere

:15:59.:16:06.

else. But this is amazing, everybody on twitter, I missed out in London,

:16:07.:16:15.

so I am in awe. You said the key is consistency, that is what you have

:16:16.:16:20.

shown. I am in the shape of my life. That was not me, my start, when I

:16:21.:16:24.

get that right, I should be in the mix. Once I am competitive, that is

:16:25.:16:30.

when the medals will come. Thank you, everybody at home.

:16:31.:16:36.

I am pretty sure he will go through, 10.33. But he will have to find a

:16:37.:16:42.

bit of time to be in the mix. A very interesting heat here. Nickel

:16:43.:16:56.

Ashmeade is in fine form. Nickel Ashmeade was in that race in

:16:57.:17:27.

Monaco, the superfast 200 metre race, he went under 20 seconds, and

:17:28.:17:32.

he won the Diamond League 100 metres here in Glasgow a couple of weeks

:17:33.:17:41.

ago, so he must like this track. That is not the Kenyans, that is

:17:42.:17:46.

Nickel Ashmeade. Kenya have to sprinters. Keep an eye on Harris and

:17:47.:17:54.

Griffith, Lane 6 And Lane 8. There was a twitch in Lane 1, but he

:17:55.:18:18.

got away with it. Nickel Ashmeade cruises to the victory. Very tight

:18:19.:18:22.

for second place. That was a slow run, doing all he needed to do. He

:18:23.:18:32.

has been in super form. He did not do anything more than he had to. He

:18:33.:18:36.

was not put off by the twitch. He did not get out particular the well,

:18:37.:18:40.

but he did enough. He ambled through. These athletes will have a

:18:41.:18:46.

good look around at what is going on, I am sure he will be happy that

:18:47.:18:52.

he has done what he has done, and he is with Phil.

:18:53.:18:56.

Yes, how is the leg? It is getting there, taking time to get better,

:18:57.:19:06.

but it is doable. The cold and rainy conditions not helping today. I will

:19:07.:19:12.

live with it. Tomorrow will be better.

:19:13.:19:19.

Nickel Ashmeade, a strong 200 metre runner, he dropped down to 100

:19:20.:19:27.

metres to increase his speed. There is a parallel with the next race,

:19:28.:19:31.

because we will see Adam Gemili for the first time, who is looking like

:19:32.:19:36.

the 200 is his strength. He is not doubling up here or at the European

:19:37.:19:42.

Championships, I wonder why he would focus on just one sprint. It is the

:19:43.:19:48.

right choice for him, he is still very young, he has not won a medal

:19:49.:19:54.

at a championship yet. The 200 might come after the 100, but from a focus

:19:55.:19:59.

standpoint, you are thinking about both, preparing for both,

:20:00.:20:03.

preparation is everything, so you have your training, then preparation

:20:04.:20:09.

before competition. We do not talk about preparation enough, it is

:20:10.:20:13.

extremely important. It is those final days before the competition,

:20:14.:20:18.

what are you thinking about? If you have two different events, you have

:20:19.:20:25.

to do it twice. Given his build and technical prowess, he is good there,

:20:26.:20:30.

but one of the things he would need to improve on will be his speed in

:20:31.:20:34.

Joe Root, and running 200 would help him with that. I was going to say to

:20:35.:20:41.

Michael, putting the emphasis on preparing for two

:20:42.:20:43.

Michael, putting the emphasis on prepared for a cue more than that,

:20:44.:20:49.

Denise! But Adam Gemili seems to have a very clear plan, as to how

:20:50.:20:54.

his developers is going, he has got another year of full-time

:20:55.:20:59.

education, he is a first-class honours student the moment, two

:21:00.:21:03.

years since the Olympics, when he decided to give athletics ago.

:21:04.:21:07.

years since the Olympics, when he sport, we talk about physical

:21:08.:21:11.

prowess, but mental and sporting intelligence is something that is

:21:12.:21:17.

equally as important, how you approach the preparation, and he has

:21:18.:21:23.

that in abundance. He is a great guy, very likeable, he has changed

:21:24.:21:30.

his coach, and now he is really prepared and ready to do what we

:21:31.:21:34.

know he is capable of. He wants a big championships here, let's see

:21:35.:21:44.

how he gets underway. It is Steve Cram calling this one.

:21:45.:21:48.

Strike one! Adam Gemili's task has been made easier because the

:21:49.:22:00.

chinette daddy and does not start. He would have given him a good race

:22:01.:22:05.

and squeezed him further down the order. Adam Gemili really does have

:22:06.:22:17.

the form time here, with the removal of Darrel Brown. Another American

:22:18.:22:22.

convert to the Nigerian side in Lane 1, he would be a strong contender

:22:23.:22:26.

for the second automatic horrifying position. -- qualifying position.

:22:27.:22:40.

Nobody near him. Into a headwind. Impressive running from

:22:41.:23:03.

Adam Gemili. He is not doubling up, headwind. Impressive running from

:23:04.:23:09.

it is all in the 100. There headwind. Impressive running from

:23:10.:23:12.

smile again. He loves his running, and the crowd loves him. You are

:23:13.:23:18.

right, absolutely. A good, professional approach. He got out of

:23:19.:23:23.

the blocks very well, he got into the running and took the victory,

:23:24.:23:26.

that is what you want to see. He drove hard. He worked hard to get

:23:27.:23:34.

there. Once he got there, you can do that. A little glance to see where

:23:35.:23:39.

everybody else was, and he eased to the line, a brilliant performance.

:23:40.:23:44.

He will quit his teeth as he works hard, engaging the big muscle

:23:45.:23:53.

groups. Then, he gets going. The flowing action that he has. The one

:23:54.:23:59.

he uses so well in the 200 metres. He works all the way through to the

:24:00.:24:05.

line. He looks to see where his main rival is. He cruises beautifully to

:24:06.:24:08.

the line, with a great time. A tremendous start. You got the

:24:09.:24:21.

reception of dreams, you have experienced it in London, and now

:24:22.:24:27.

Glasgow. It is amazing, the cheer that I got was unbelievable, it

:24:28.:24:31.

makes you want to push harder and do well. I am grateful for the

:24:32.:24:36.

reception I received. Were you aware of what had happened in the previous

:24:37.:24:42.

heats, with Richard Thompson and Nickel Ashmeade not running out

:24:43.:24:46.

fast, and Harry Aikines-Aryeetey not getting into the first to? There are

:24:47.:24:52.

no results there, so I had no clue. I just came out here and try to

:24:53.:24:56.

execute the first half of my race, which I did, and relaxed as much as

:24:57.:25:02.

I could in the second half. On to the semifinals, I am buzzing. So,

:25:03.:25:14.

Adam Gemili securing his passage through to the semi-finals safely.

:25:15.:25:21.

I was not excited about his technique. He looks a little bit

:25:22.:25:26.

tight. I was impressed technique. He looks a little bit

:25:27.:25:32.

technical efficiency over the last couple of years. Now, he looks

:25:33.:25:36.

tighter. Denise said he had not run in a while and that might be

:25:37.:25:41.

something to do with it. He changed coaches as well. That might have

:25:42.:25:46.

something to do with that. I would like to see him finish the race and

:25:47.:25:56.

have a bit more of what I expected. Back in Rome, at the Diamond League,

:25:57.:26:06.

he was disappointed with his time. It was a good night, it was 24

:26:07.:26:11.

degrees, the temperature was perfect and the conditions were right. I do

:26:12.:26:16.

not know whether... I am not defending him, his personality, he

:26:17.:26:21.

is happy and positive, it is that it? What it was this time, there was

:26:22.:26:26.

nothing to be disappointed in, but the crowd was into me and that is

:26:27.:26:35.

great, but let us focus. He needs to be more focused and soak up the

:26:36.:26:41.

crowd when he is getting a medal, which she could get. That is noted.

:26:42.:26:49.

Let us see if Richard Kilty adopts that person.

:26:50.:26:55.

He is no string king Violet. He is confident athlete. -- shrinking. He

:26:56.:27:06.

built on a pretty good season last year. He has not come on from that.

:27:07.:27:17.

He needs to be in that shape, this will not be that easy. Just to let

:27:18.:27:25.

you know, around 10.84 would still get you through as fastest loser. He

:27:26.:27:32.

will not be thinking about that. Adam Gemili has run the quickest

:27:33.:27:39.

time so far. Edwards got the second automatic qualifying place. Can

:27:40.:27:54.

Richard Kilty follow suit. There is the line-up. There is this South

:27:55.:28:22.

African, Magakwe. He was in the South African championships. There

:28:23.:28:27.

is Daniel Bailey. He carried the flag for his country. Saw his young

:28:28.:28:34.

team-mate disqualified at the beginning of these heaps. There is

:28:35.:28:52.

Simon Magakwe. -- heats. Richard Kilty will have to be on his game

:28:53.:29:05.

here he has shown that he can produce the right performance at the

:29:06.:29:12.

right time. Wilson is next to him in lane nine. Daniel Bailey in Lane 3

:29:13.:29:19.

and Simon Magakwe there as well, they are the dangers for Richard

:29:20.:29:26.

Kilty. Pretty chilly here at Hampden Park. The wind has been moving

:29:27.:29:32.

around a little bit, sometimes behind, sometimes just with them.

:29:33.:29:53.

Heat 7, at the top two through. Magakwe starts well alongside Daniel

:29:54.:29:58.

Bailey. Daniel Bailey is going the best. Richard Kilty finishing

:29:59.:30:03.

quickly. Will he get the top two. --? He did not tip. I am not sure it

:30:04.:30:10.

will make much difference, because I think they are all running, anyone

:30:11.:30:18.

finishing third is could be fine. Richard Kilty, certainly, I thought

:30:19.:30:24.

he was coming on, but then did not quite get forward. Certainly, he

:30:25.:30:30.

thought he had second place. Just waiting for it to come up. What do

:30:31.:30:38.

you think? I think I will wait to see how it comes through. It will be

:30:39.:30:42.

frustrating for Richard, because he did so well indoors. He won the

:30:43.:30:56.

title and surprised everyone. Did he quite do it? It does not quite say

:30:57.:31:00.

yet. Let us look at the winner, Daniel Bailey, he has worked hard

:31:01.:31:06.

and he took the victory well. Another professional job done. I can

:31:07.:31:12.

tell you that they have made up their minds will stop they have been

:31:13.:31:17.

given, rather unusually, joint second. Three

:31:18.:31:27.

given, rather unusually, joint is that going to do to fastest

:31:28.:31:30.

losers? We have got nine lanes. I guess they can do that. We will have

:31:31.:31:33.

three men from this heat. I do not know if that has happened before.

:31:34.:31:44.

Has that ever happened? No, never. It was pretty close. A bit too close

:31:45.:31:51.

for my liking. I will have to step up in the final. That time was

:31:52.:31:55.

probably always going to get you through, it is wise

:31:56.:32:01.

probably always going to get you automatically. What do you do

:32:02.:32:02.

between now and tomorrow? I will go back and rest and get some sleep and

:32:03.:32:09.

hopefully wake up tomorrow feeling better and enjoy myself tomorrow and

:32:10.:32:13.

try and make it to the final. You were denied your moment in London,

:32:14.:32:17.

you were not selected, now you have had this introduction to the crowd,

:32:18.:32:21.

what was that like? The crowd is amazing. They cheered for us. It is

:32:22.:32:31.

home games us as well. It is a great crowd. It is electrifying. I am glad

:32:32.:32:38.

you're to enjoy it. Commiserations to my friend David who drowned a

:32:39.:32:44.

couple of days ago, so this Games will be dedicated to him. We are all

:32:45.:32:51.

gravy -- grieving for David, it is a very sad loss, this season is

:32:52.:33:05.

dedicated to him. Thank you. Nice words from him their about his

:33:06.:33:11.

friend. That is an unusual sight. All of those three will go through.

:33:12.:33:19.

I guess Lino will have to wait. It will not be quick enough -- Lionel.

:33:20.:33:31.

Normally they are able to put distance between them. It is

:33:32.:33:40.

interesting, this lack of transformation from indoor, where he

:33:41.:33:46.

surprised a lot of people with that win and then not really able to

:33:47.:33:53.

translated timewise on the track. People do not really understand how

:33:54.:33:57.

much of a difference it is between a 60-metre sprint and a 100 metres

:33:58.:34:01.

sprint, in doors, it is all about the start and if you are an

:34:02.:34:07.

explosive start, you do not need to be fast, you can have an explosive

:34:08.:34:11.

start and be very quick. Richard Kilty is explosive out of the

:34:12.:34:16.

blocks. He has that start where he gets himself into trouble here. He

:34:17.:34:20.

does not have that ability to transition smoothly into the rest of

:34:21.:34:24.

the race and he does not have the foot speed that takes over at 50 or

:34:25.:34:32.

60 metres. Adam Gemili has that. He does not have the start, but if he

:34:33.:34:37.

gets the leading he is unlikely to be found anywhere but upfront. It is

:34:38.:34:43.

like you take off again. It is like a second take-off when that person

:34:44.:34:49.

has that turnover. Adam Gemili has it in abundance and Richard does not

:34:50.:34:54.

quite have it. It is heat number eight.

:34:55.:35:10.

Mark Anderson has not broken 11 seconds this season. Adam Brown is

:35:11.:35:23.

very quick stop the South African is pretty good. We saw Magakwe going

:35:24.:35:32.

through in the last heat the Nigerian as well Simbine ran well in

:35:33.:36:05.

South Africa. There is Houston. There is Egwero from Nigeria. There

:36:06.:36:26.

is Sesay from Sierra Leone as well. Harold Houston from Bermuda. And

:36:27.:36:51.

away cleanly and Brown trying to get into the pace. Egwero is going well.

:36:52.:36:55.

The Canadian tried to get there but it is going to be Simbine alongside

:36:56.:37:01.

Egwero. Adam Brown will have to wait, I am sure he will go through,

:37:02.:37:08.

but, just clutching his leg a little bit, but Simbine highlighted his

:37:09.:37:12.

potential. He is 20 years old. Looking pretty good. Looking pretty

:37:13.:37:20.

good, but nothing to electrifying. You expect people to perform better.

:37:21.:37:27.

Look what happened in Lane 7, Houston struggled out of the blocks.

:37:28.:37:31.

From there on in, there was no chance. He is out of the running

:37:32.:37:36.

very early. The sub African, he took this picture. He took it come to

:37:37.:37:43.

bleed -- self African. Let us look at the Canadian to our left. --

:37:44.:37:51.

South African. You expect him to be up there. He seems to be struggling,

:37:52.:37:59.

trying to find himself here. Working hard, trying to push through, but he

:38:00.:38:04.

did not need anything electrifying to guarantee getting through. I am

:38:05.:38:14.

pretty sure he will be through. It is rather cool. You can see how dark

:38:15.:38:21.

it is, it will be warmer tomorrow. Simbine and Egwero go through

:38:22.:38:22.

automatically. You were a bit unimpressed. It was

:38:23.:38:37.

all a bit sluggish. Yes, I cannot quite put my finger on why everyone

:38:38.:38:45.

seems to be heavy, heavy legs, lacking Zep, sometimes we see in

:38:46.:38:50.

heaps, athletes come out hard and almost cruise. Everyone seems to be

:38:51.:38:57.

running hard. Is it tends an tight. This weather is not great for

:38:58.:39:04.

sprinting. It is not cold rainy, but it is not nice and sunny. There is

:39:05.:39:10.

not even any humidity. It has been incredible here. Last week, we were

:39:11.:39:18.

thinking it would be beautiful, but the grey clouds and rain have come

:39:19.:39:22.

in and perhaps that is causing the times to be slower. We were talking

:39:23.:39:29.

about the pre-race and the fast times. That sometimes comes with the

:39:30.:39:39.

track Championships are on, but those Bailey Coles said it was

:39:40.:39:45.

average. He said it was not that path of a track. Is it also the

:39:46.:39:52.

competition? We have a huge array of times. Yes, but it is the

:39:53.:39:56.

Championship, you should be motivated by that. I think we will

:39:57.:40:03.

see the times pick-up. There is a bit of rust to kick off because it

:40:04.:40:08.

is the first day of athletics. I think the times will pick up. I

:40:09.:40:13.

think sometimes it is the anticipation, sometimes you are

:40:14.:40:16.

thinking about performances, the competition, it might take you over

:40:17.:40:21.

the edge in terms of keeping that sharpness of focus, that you need to

:40:22.:40:27.

execute Europe base. It is early, they will go back, they will

:40:28.:40:37.

reassess -- your base. It was a quick track, and across a range of

:40:38.:40:47.

distances. There were lots of records. Let's go to the final heat

:40:48.:40:55.

of the 100 metres. Keston Bledman has run ten seconds Z this season,

:40:56.:41:01.

he has gone quicker previously, will he lead the charge? The track is

:41:02.:41:06.

getting warmed up. Steve Cram, do you think so?

:41:07.:41:09.

Possibly. I put a red mark next to athletes whose season's best was

:41:10.:41:19.

done in the national championships, as his was. I am not quite sure he

:41:20.:41:30.

is in super form. But this is one of the easiest heats.

:41:31.:41:38.

The athlete from the Bahamas in Lane 1 might be one to keep an eye on. It

:41:39.:41:48.

has been great to have three Kenyans in the 100 metres, marvellous. The

:41:49.:41:58.

Kenyans in Lane 6 has not got a time to his name this year.

:41:59.:42:20.

It is interesting, listening to the guys in the studio talking about the

:42:21.:42:26.

kinds and performances. Maybe the mentality early on is that you do

:42:27.:42:30.

not have to be that good to get through. Some of the bigger names, I

:42:31.:42:39.

wonder if they have come ready to run hard in these cool conditions.

:42:40.:42:44.

Keston Bledman should have the experience and ability to qualify

:42:45.:42:47.

shrug -- straightforwardly. The athlete in Lane 1 would have got

:42:48.:43:03.

good experience from the World Championships last year. Lawrence

:43:04.:43:06.

will be bat on home Championships last year. Lawrence

:43:07.:43:12.

the surprise bronze medallists in 2011. This is the final heat. We

:43:13.:43:26.

will have 25 athletes in the semifinals, rather than 24, so there

:43:27.:43:33.

will be three heats, one of them with nine athlete in, because of the

:43:34.:43:39.

will be three heats, one of them dead heat. At the moment, 10.46

:43:40.:43:44.

will be three heats, one of them get you through as a fastest loser

:43:45.:43:47.

if you are not in the top two. Or if you

:43:48.:43:59.

Keston Bledman twinset. -- wins it. A slight following wind. It is

:44:00.:44:27.

difficult after nine heats to see who was comfortable and who was

:44:28.:44:29.

going flat out and who was comfortable and who was

:44:30.:44:40.

of the better performances. Yes. That was quite a busy heat, nine

:44:41.:44:44.

runners in it. We will get used to that for the next round, because of

:44:45.:44:49.

the dead heat. We will use nine lanes at some stage. But Keston

:44:50.:44:58.

Bledman came out and did a good job. He was favourite to take this race.

:44:59.:45:03.

He worked hard for the first 20 or 30 metres, he got himself clear, and

:45:04.:45:07.

he could just focus on qualifying, no sweat, no problems. A bit of

:45:08.:45:14.

glancing here and there, but it was just routine for him. A bit more

:45:15.:45:27.

quality in this. I think there will be the third and fourth places going

:45:28.:45:31.

through as fastest losers. Keston Bledman and Richard Thompson, from

:45:32.:45:36.

Trinidad, coming here with very high hopes. As ever, the Caribbean

:45:37.:45:44.

nations will be hoping... There will be a scrap between them. Can Adam

:45:45.:45:53.

Gemili get in there and cause an upset? The semifinals will depend on

:45:54.:45:59.

the draw, because they will be really tight, I reckon. Not much to

:46:00.:46:03.

choose between who gets into the final. They will try to keep the

:46:04.:46:10.

nation 's separate, so they would not want to have Richard Thompson

:46:11.:46:16.

with Keston Bledman. It is important you get through well, and if you do,

:46:17.:46:21.

it means you can get a good semifinal draw, which will be

:46:22.:46:28.

important. The Bahamas athlete working hard out of the blocks,

:46:29.:46:32.

getting into position to make sure he can qualify. He got out well. He

:46:33.:46:38.

did not quite maintain as well as Keston Bledman, but he got himself

:46:39.:46:46.

through. The two athletes in third and fourth place will be pleased to

:46:47.:46:49.

hear they will go through as fastest losers. And Richard Thompson will go

:46:50.:46:54.

through after the lacklustre performance from him.

:46:55.:47:17.

Because of the dead heat for Richard Kilty, 25 men will go through. Kemar

:47:18.:47:28.

Bailey-Cole looked very comfortable. The Nigerian athlete had a very good

:47:29.:47:38.

start. Nickel Ashmeade nursing his problems

:47:39.:47:57.

through. That is the end of the men's 100 metres, and it is good

:47:58.:48:05.

afternoon to Steve Backley. Thank you. And we welcome some Para-sport.

:48:06.:48:14.

The women's long jump, mild to moderate paralysis to one side of

:48:15.:48:18.

the body, and the cerebral palsy class.

:48:19.:48:26.

She has a lifetime best of 3.79. It was a lifetime best.

:48:27.:48:37.

That was followed by Bethany It took the lead.

:48:38.:48:51.

That was followed by Bethany Woodward, a world gold medallist in

:48:52.:48:55.

the 400 metres, looking to put the speed into the long jump. She has

:48:56.:48:59.

never before gone beyond four metres. She knew it was good, a

:49:00.:49:07.

lifetime best of 3.92. That was buying gone four metres. This was

:49:08.:49:11.

the pre-event favourite, the Australian. A lifetime best of 4.22,

:49:12.:49:22.

she got a bronze in the relay in the Paralympic Games. She has dominated

:49:23.:49:32.

the event, she has jumped over four metres in every attempt. That was

:49:33.:49:41.

her best, 4.36. That is the standings. We are in the final

:49:42.:49:50.

round, it may change, but the Australian is way out in front.

:49:51.:50:00.

It could be blowing a bit more vibrantly, but it is not the kind of

:50:01.:50:08.

day we have grown to expect in Glasgow, which is rapidly being

:50:09.:50:13.

booked up by many people as a summer holiday destination, 28 degrees it

:50:14.:50:19.

was on Friday! Michael Johnson does not believe us! It is not the

:50:20.:50:24.

torrential rain, which was predicted. The crowds are not put

:50:25.:50:28.

off by the clouds, they are enjoying the athletics they have seen so far

:50:29.:50:34.

in these early stages. We saw what we have seen across these

:50:35.:50:37.

championships, the integration of Para-sport. We can talk a bit about

:50:38.:50:48.

what that means and how that can change perception and the way that

:50:49.:50:50.

Para-sport is represented, going forward. It is amazing that the

:50:51.:50:55.

Commonwealth Games have taken the step for inclusion. The long jump is

:50:56.:51:01.

a developing sport, the World Championship is dominated by the

:51:02.:51:06.

Europeans. It is part of a strategy of encouraging some of the

:51:07.:51:09.

developing nations to think about how they develop disabled sport for

:51:10.:51:14.

women. There are some events which are stronger than others, that is

:51:15.:51:17.

true across all the disciplines, but the field events need developing. Is

:51:18.:51:23.

it something that we will see more of? We will have six here. We also

:51:24.:51:30.

had Para-sport involved in the Diamond League. Or would you like to

:51:31.:51:36.

see them stay separate, and it is just something that happens

:51:37.:51:41.

occasionally at large events? It is good for the Olympics and

:51:42.:51:45.

Paralympics to be separate, but international federations are being

:51:46.:51:51.

completely inclusive, and athletics, after 2017, it could go down that

:51:52.:51:56.

route. We have had demonstration events in the past but never had

:51:57.:52:00.

full medal status. The international federations could do a bit more. The

:52:01.:52:06.

crowd appreciate it, because after London, there was a huge groundswell

:52:07.:52:11.

of support and appreciation of Para-sport. To the crowd, it will

:52:12.:52:19.

seem normal. Yes, that was a huge step forward after London. Even in

:52:20.:52:27.

the US, it started to get support, and we have been relatively behind.

:52:28.:52:33.

We are starting to see a lot more support. We will know we have

:52:34.:52:41.

cracked it when we get prime-time TV in the state. At the moment, it is a

:52:42.:52:47.

couple of weeks afterwards, but once we crack the American market, we

:52:48.:52:51.

will know we have made it. No American athletes here this week!

:52:52.:52:55.

Those nine hits we American athletes here this week!

:52:56.:53:01.

heat was the quickest overall, and the most relaxed looking. Yes, we

:53:02.:53:08.

heat was the quickest overall, and talked earlier about shaking the

:53:09.:53:11.

coat off, eating focused and being ready to race. It is not warm, but

:53:12.:53:20.

they have to think about tomorrow, we want to see the speed kicking in,

:53:21.:53:24.

the kind of athletics that people want to buy into, where it is

:53:25.:53:32.

competitive. Without Usain Bolt, there is every opportunity for

:53:33.:53:34.

somebody to make a name for themselves. It is always difficult

:53:35.:53:38.

to be able to assess in the early rounds. Colin mentioned it earlier,

:53:39.:53:45.

and Steve, who is running 100%, who is holding back? Keston Bledman

:53:46.:53:50.

looked the most impressive, but it will be tomorrow when we will see if

:53:51.:53:54.

people like Richard Thompson have any more, Adam Gemili, will they be

:53:55.:54:02.

able to bring more tomorrow? I am looking forward to that, we will

:54:03.:54:10.

start to see the separation. It is 5 degrees warmer tomorrow, so we never

:54:11.:54:14.

know, we might see some sunshine. The semifinals and finals are

:54:15.:54:18.

tomorrow, and we will see the women's heats later.

:54:19.:54:26.

It does not seem to be deterring the crowds, because we have got 40,000

:54:27.:54:32.

at Hampden Park, 50,000 at Ibrox for the rugby sevens, 350,000 tickets

:54:33.:54:34.

have been the rugby sevens, 350,000 tickets

:54:35.:54:38.

events. It has been the rugby sevens, 350,000 tickets

:54:39.:54:44.

uptake. I had the pleasure to pop my head in the door of the netball,

:54:45.:54:49.

judo and boxing, the crowds have been terrific. They are back for the

:54:50.:54:51.

boxing again, because we are the been terrific. They are back for the

:54:52.:55:00.

grabs. We will share with you a fight from some Maxwell, in the

:55:01.:55:04.

light welterweight contest. He is bidding for a place in the

:55:05.:55:09.

quarterfinals. He is ranked in the world's top 20, so he knows his way

:55:10.:55:11.

around the quarterfinals. He is ranked in the

:55:12.:55:11.

world's top 20, so he knows ring, but he has got a tough match against

:55:12.:55:18.

a Kenyan opponent. Let's see how he gets on.

:55:19.:55:24.

This is much number 74, the man in blue, England's representative in

:55:25.:55:33.

the light welterweight, and Maxwell has the advantage of having a

:55:34.:55:43.

contest under his belt. He stopped his Tongan opponent in the second

:55:44.:55:48.

round. His keen on opponent got a bye in the previous round. Sam

:55:49.:55:54.

Maxwell will be concentrating on the job in hand. He boxed well within

:55:55.:56:00.

himself last time. A good performance last time. He is against

:56:01.:56:05.

a danger man with good head movement. Maxwell has got to keep

:56:06.:56:12.

his punches nice and straight. When his man closes Big Apple, he must

:56:13.:56:15.

bring the right uppercut to the middle, but concentrate on straight

:56:16.:56:20.

jabs and right-hand and box at distance. That is better. Both men

:56:21.:56:27.

boxed at the World Championships last year, without much success. The

:56:28.:56:32.

Kenyans went out to a Turkish boxer, last year, without much success. The

:56:33.:56:34.

Kenyans went out to a Maxwell had a clash of heads against the Italian,

:56:35.:56:42.

he was disqualified, although the English team appealed, it was turned

:56:43.:56:58.

down. The canyon is chunky and solid looking. The Kenyans have sent a

:56:59.:57:08.

strong team here. Not getting it his own way, as he did in the first

:57:09.:57:13.

contest, Sam Maxwell. He is making a couple of little mistakes, Maxwell.

:57:14.:57:18.

He is holding his feet a little bit too long, he must hit them move. He

:57:19.:57:22.

does not need to hit and then falling to his opponent. This fella

:57:23.:57:32.

is hoping for to happen. So, Maxwell, as he is leading with the

:57:33.:57:36.

jab, has got to adjust his feet and create that room, ready to punch

:57:37.:57:43.

again. He has got caught a couple of times, Maxwell, and he is getting

:57:44.:57:57.

caught. Right into the ribs. Maxwell having a look at the referee. Good

:57:58.:58:03.

variation. The canyon is immensely strong.

:58:04.:58:29.

Well, that was too close to call. Yes, I think Maxwell won that round.

:58:30.:58:37.

They will be fairly pleased in the corner. It was not such a bad round.

:58:38.:58:45.

Maxwell himself just gets caught by that right hand. But he did some

:58:46.:58:49.

good stuff with his own straight left and straight right. There was a

:58:50.:58:53.

right hand from Maxwell. That is when he has got to move his feet,

:58:54.:58:57.

after that, Jim. After he has landed the shot. But this is a tough

:58:58.:59:14.

Kenyan. 25 years of age, born in Hackney, but boxes out of Liverpool

:59:15.:59:15.

now. There will be a certain amount of

:59:16.:59:29.

relief in the English corner, in the knowledge that Maxwell has won the

:59:30.:59:34.

opening round, on all three scores. He did not get it all his own way, I

:59:35.:59:38.

would not have been surprised had at least one judge gone for the Kenyan,

:59:39.:59:49.

. Denis Okoth I did think Maxwell won the round, but it was quite

:59:50.:59:55.

close. Keep your punches long and straight, and then move the feet.

:59:56.:00:27.

with the right. The jab is so important in this situation, it will

:00:28.:00:32.

just keep his opponent off balance. Okoth is trying to set for the

:00:33.:00:36.

attacks. While he is setting, it does not hurt for Maxwell to be

:00:37.:00:40.

sticking that jab into his face, just to upset his rhythm for the

:00:41.:00:48.

contest. JIM NEILLY: Good movement by Sam

:00:49.:00:52.

Maxwell, the quicker feet of the two. Uppercut with the right, and

:00:53.:01:00.

then body shop with the left Denning did well there, midway through the

:01:01.:01:01.

second. But is better. So important for

:01:02.:01:23.

Maxwell to use that left-hand. He has had a busy couple of years, Sam

:01:24.:01:30.

Maxwell, boxing all over the world. Tournaments in Finland, Bulgaria,

:01:31.:01:36.

Germany and Turkey. And he has been either first or second in all of

:01:37.:01:41.

them, so here's gaining experience. That was low Lee moved by Maxwell.

:01:42.:01:57.

He looks very relaxed now. A wonderful left-hand. Okoth seems to

:01:58.:02:08.

be running out of ideas, slightly. He is, when he is at range, because

:02:09.:02:13.

he cannot get past Maxwell's long reach. That is why it is so

:02:14.:02:18.

important that he keeps him at a distance. It is clever boxing. The

:02:19.:02:25.

feet are wonderful, from Maxwell. Much better second-round than the

:02:26.:02:31.

first. If we thought the first was close, I do not think the second one

:02:32.:02:38.

was remotely close. Nice little pat on the head there! Just keep it

:02:39.:02:42.

going! RICHIE WOODHALL: Yes, good work from

:02:43.:02:47.

Maxwell in this round. Lovely right hand, super little shot. And here is

:02:48.:02:53.

that left hook, a belting punch. Before that, there were two or three

:02:54.:03:00.

jobs. Around the side - bang! Lovely punch. This is a terrific division,

:03:01.:03:09.

the light welterweight division. Alaska mother top half of the draw

:03:10.:03:12.

has been loaded with all of the favourites.

:03:13.:03:28.

So, two rounds in the bag for the man in blue, the English light

:03:29.:03:34.

welterweight Sam Maxwell. This is the city for kilogram division. One

:03:35.:03:38.

more win after this, and you are into the medals. -- this is the 64

:03:39.:03:43.

kilogram division. He has to stay out of trouble and

:03:44.:03:58.

box sensibly. You are up against a dangerous man who is going to keep

:03:59.:04:03.

coming. There you go. So you certainly do not need to be on the

:04:04.:04:07.

ropes. But back to the centre. Oh, lovely. Double hook to the body, and

:04:08.:04:14.

then a hock to the head. Better by Maxwell. Stung a little bit by the

:04:15.:04:19.

rough house attack from the Kenyan, Okoth. How much more has Okoth got?

:04:20.:04:34.

We are about to find out. Not a bad left, and another one, from the

:04:35.:04:40.

Kenyan. He cannot get going, though, Jim, when he is boxing at range.

:04:41.:04:46.

That is why it is important for Maxwell to maintain his distance at

:04:47.:04:47.

all costs against this guy. Maxwell to maintain his distance at

:04:48.:04:54.

was shaken by that one. Still not recovered. It was the sweetest of

:04:55.:05:00.

shots, he just kept the left shoulder momentarily, and then the

:05:01.:05:07.

right was perfect. Into the final half of the last round, and some

:05:08.:05:12.

Maxwell is heading for a second victory here in this competitive

:05:13.:05:18.

division in Glasgow 2014. Now, what has gone on? Is there a cut? Maxwell

:05:19.:05:23.

has been told to go to the no, corner. There seems to be a cut.

:05:24.:05:28.

Well, that is the seventh or eighth we have seen. We have had four

:05:29.:05:33.

contests we have seen. We have had four

:05:34.:05:36.

which is more than the last two Commonwealth Games put together. A

:05:37.:05:40.

lot of Commonwealth Games put together. A

:05:41.:05:44.

clashes, that I think that was from a punch. He seems to be fine, the

:05:45.:05:50.

doctor has indicated that he is fit to continue. He knows he is, he

:05:51.:05:52.

knows he is behind, he will come to continue. He knows he is, he

:05:53.:05:55.

steaming forward to try to end this one. At Maxwell is too clever for

:05:56.:06:04.

that. He was on the receiving end of a couple of hard shots before that.

:06:05.:06:08.

Just gave him a few valuable seconds to recover, as the doctor looked at

:06:09.:06:13.

him. But Maxwell is now boxing superbly well at range.

:06:14.:06:21.

Nice balance by Maxwell, picked his man off, with a right to the body.

:06:22.:06:32.

Covers up well. Does he want a big finish, Maxwell, just to show

:06:33.:06:35.

everybody how good he is? He may well do. Okoth forced back into his

:06:36.:06:40.

own corner. Maxwell looking for a telling shot just to round off what

:06:41.:06:45.

has been a pretty good nine minutes' work. Maxwell covers up,

:06:46.:06:53.

and he knows he has won, another very good performance by the English

:06:54.:06:58.

light welterweight Sam Maxwell. And through to the quarterfinals. Pretty

:06:59.:07:04.

impressive, right from the start. Clever little display, that last 30

:07:05.:07:07.

seconds. He could have played to the crowd and tries to go for a

:07:08.:07:13.

stoppage, but no, he was sensible. Look at that ? want to the, one to

:07:14.:07:18.

the head. Good, long-range work from Maxwell.

:07:19.:07:33.

Boxed to his strengths, worthy winner. Pretty impressive.

:07:34.:07:51.

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, or our judges are in agreement. The

:07:52.:08:03.

winner, by unanimous decision, progressing through to the 64

:08:04.:08:07.

kilograms quarterfinal, in the blue corner...! A nice little smile from

:08:08.:08:15.

some Maxwell, and a smile of relief as well. He has got the first two

:08:16.:08:24.

out of the way. We might be still talking about him in a few days'

:08:25.:08:29.

time. That first round looked quite tight, but from then on, it looked

:08:30.:08:34.

like you were in control? Yes, it took me awhile to with his strength,

:08:35.:08:37.

he was stronger than I thought. I thought I had a good second half,

:08:38.:08:42.

and then switched off a bit in the last. I looked a bit tired, but I

:08:43.:08:48.

knew I had more in my tank. But I knew I was winning the fight. Jim

:08:49.:08:52.

and Richie Woodhall was saying, you look best when you are at range?

:08:53.:08:58.

Definitely, that is my bread-and-butter, a lot of

:08:59.:09:02.

one-twos. But sometimes just try and land a harder shot. But against

:09:03.:09:07.

people who are just as strong as me, it is a bad thing to do. It might be

:09:08.:09:15.

in the next round that you have got the defending Commonwealth gold

:09:16.:09:17.

medallist, from India. If he wins now, it will be your next? Yes, I

:09:18.:09:23.

have seen him around the world a lot of times. But my friend Tom from

:09:24.:09:28.

Liverpool has beaten him twice, so I might give him a little phone call

:09:29.:09:29.

to get some tips. Great result. Yes, he boxes for the Salisbury club

:09:30.:09:41.

in Liverpool, and he is through to the quarterfinals. We are going to

:09:42.:09:45.

move to a sport which has been described as boxing with rackets. It

:09:46.:09:51.

is squash. It describes the pressures of being enclosed in a

:09:52.:09:54.

glass box, being watched by everyone, and doing battle over the

:09:55.:10:00.

best of five games. That is how it was described by Nicol David of

:10:01.:10:02.

Malaysia, the reigning world number one. And she has been marvellous so

:10:03.:10:07.

far, only dropping one game on her way to the semifinals. It is

:10:08.:10:14.

semifinals day in both the men's and the women's singles events down in

:10:15.:10:17.

Scotstoun. We are going to watch Nicol David now, up against Joelle

:10:18.:10:21.

King of New Zealand, going for a place in the final.

:10:22.:11:08.

shot, even though she is as good as she is, you will see her do that so

:11:09.:11:14.

often. She makes an error, she will practice again, just to make sure

:11:15.:11:19.

she has the feel of it. Rather than give herself a tough time.

:11:20.:11:20.

Absolutely. Well done. She looked as though she

:11:21.:11:46.

had that under control, but not a bit of it. It was a good counter

:11:47.:11:51.

drop from Joelle King. Nicol David on the back foot, and the counter

:11:52.:11:56.

drop works well when the player is potentially pushing away from the

:11:57.:11:58.

front corner. It is looking good again at the

:11:59.:12:23.

start of the game, but remember what happened in the last game. It must

:12:24.:12:27.

be in the back of her mind. But Joelle King have to press on. She

:12:28.:12:34.

started with the same game plan as the second game, she is trying to be

:12:35.:12:38.

more positive, she is in front, which is where she needs to be. She

:12:39.:12:42.

is looking for the volley opportunity a bit more. She is

:12:43.:12:46.

trying to take on the volley, and using height to get the ball to the

:12:47.:12:52.

back of the court. She is trying to get Nicol David deep, and then

:12:53.:12:53.

attack. Those shots always come in handy. I

:12:54.:13:49.

am not sure they are always played for, but they do come in handy. Even

:13:50.:13:51.

by the world number one! Absolutely. You can almost feel nickel David

:13:52.:14:27.

turning up the heat. She turns it on when she needs to.

:14:28.:14:58.

It is the first time I have watched Nicol David live, there is such a

:14:59.:15:05.

grace of movement, it is wonderful to watch. She is lovely to watch,

:15:06.:15:10.

she is very gracious on the court, for what she has achieved in her

:15:11.:15:15.

career, but only does she moved beautifully, she is such a lovely

:15:16.:15:19.

person on and off the court. She does great work. Four. Great

:15:20.:15:28.

ambassador for the sport, not only how to

:15:29.:15:43.

It might have been a stroke, but she is not pushing the point. You kind

:15:44.:15:53.

of know whether it is a stroke or a let. Sometimes, the players push it

:15:54.:15:58.

a bit, but she is such an honest player, if she thinks it is just a

:15:59.:16:04.

let, she will not make any bones about it.

:16:05.:16:19.

beautiful. It is so easy for her. Even when she is at full stretch,

:16:20.:16:34.

every sinew working to its maximum, she looks in control. Yes, she is in

:16:35.:16:40.

great condition, she is a very balanced player. When she plays the

:16:41.:16:43.

ball, she is very stable and still. balanced player. When she plays the

:16:44.:16:45.

You do not see too much movement balanced player. When she plays the

:16:46.:16:49.

when she is playing the ball. She plays the shot and then moves off

:16:50.:16:51.

the ball. Badminton is the number-1 sport for

:16:52.:17:17.

women her country, but she is a huge star in her country. Totally.

:17:18.:17:26.

Badminton has the superstars, but she is just as famous as the

:17:27.:17:30.

badminton stars. She deserves it. She has worked incredibly hard to

:17:31.:17:35.

get where she is in the game of squash. The fact that she does so

:17:36.:17:40.

much outside the game to support it, she is a great ambassador, huge

:17:41.:17:46.

involvement with the Olympic bid, and just doing great work around the

:17:47.:17:51.

game. She does thoroughly deserve the status, she has earned it.

:17:52.:18:30.

Again, mesmerising play from Nicol David. Joelle King shaking her head.

:18:31.:18:42.

I think she is possibly unsure about what she needs to do to try and get

:18:43.:18:49.

on top of this game. Do not think she is sure at all, she needs to get

:18:50.:18:52.

the ball further to the back of the court. It is too short.

:18:53.:19:03.

I see that her ambition is to play squash in the Olympics in 2020. If

:19:04.:19:12.

squash is a candidate, she wants to be there, and she wants to win the

:19:13.:19:18.

gold-medal. It is a great ambition. First things first, it would be

:19:19.:19:21.

fantastic to see squash in the Olympics. Right now, the

:19:22.:19:27.

Commonwealth Games is the pinnacle. But to see it in the Olympic Games

:19:28.:19:32.

would be superb. What a great ambition for Joelle King to have.

:19:33.:19:36.

Two points away from the final. That was too good. Pinpoint accuracy

:19:37.:20:02.

again. And again, Joelle King never on top of the point. Nicol David

:20:03.:20:07.

always in front, and she has been the key problem. There it is. A

:20:08.:20:17.

quite fabulous performance from Nicol David. Joelle King, the number

:20:18.:20:24.

four seed, not really in the match at any stage. Just for a fraction at

:20:25.:20:29.

the start of the second game, you thought it might possibly be a

:20:30.:20:33.

contest, then Nicol David raised the game, and from that moment, there

:20:34.:20:36.

was only ever going to be one winner. Absolutely. Nicol David

:20:37.:20:43.

playing some fantastic squash, very simple squash, but very effective.

:20:44.:20:48.

Yes, great skill and style, she will find out at 6:45pm who she will be

:20:49.:20:56.

facing tomorrow, and it will be an Englishwoman. The other semifinal

:20:57.:21:06.

will be all English. Our timings are slipping on this Sunday. That means

:21:07.:21:12.

that if you want to share the action from the velodrome, please be our

:21:13.:21:16.

guest, it will be there in its entirety on BBC Three. There is some

:21:17.:21:21.

good stuff happening. More good stuff happening in Hampden Park on

:21:22.:21:29.

the first day of track and field. That is the home of Scottish

:21:30.:21:34.

football, but it is the home to athletics for the next few days. We

:21:35.:21:40.

are going to see the women's 100 metres. There is no Shelly-Ann

:21:41.:21:43.

Fraser-Pryce, she has decided to just do the sprint relay. But we

:21:44.:21:49.

will see the Nicky Campbell Brown, from Jamaica -- raw Nicky Campbell

:21:50.:21:55.

Brown. She has had a torrid few months. She

:21:56.:22:07.

was tested positive last May, 2013, but in February this year, it was

:22:08.:22:12.

overruled, cos they said there was an environmental flaw in the testing

:22:13.:22:18.

of her B sample, so she is here, she is 32, she has won seven Olympic

:22:19.:22:26.

medals, including three gold medals, and she is going to be here to prove

:22:27.:22:30.

she is still at the top of her game. She said it was a devastating

:22:31.:22:35.

blow to her, not least financially, because she was out of the Diamond

:22:36.:22:40.

League last season. She already has proved a point. Despite not running

:22:41.:22:44.

much, she proved a point. Despite not running

:22:45.:22:48.

much, has run 10.86, which is not slow by any stretch of the

:22:49.:22:52.

imagination. She has done it all. She does not have a Commonwealth

:22:53.:22:56.

gold medal. She has been embraced back. She is married to a

:22:57.:23:02.

Commonwealth gold medallist, Omar Brown, but she is here to prove she

:23:03.:23:06.

is still at the top of her game come without Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

:23:07.:23:10.

Hopefully, we will see some high standards. I think we will. It will

:23:11.:23:18.

not be just given to her. Michelle-Lee Ahye has run very well,

:23:19.:23:23.

she is the new up and coming star. She will have something to say about

:23:24.:23:31.

Veronica Campbell-Brown. It is difficult, after you have had the

:23:32.:23:35.

time off, and you have gone through the emotional stress, and then

:23:36.:23:38.

coming back out, you do not know how you will be received, lots of drugs

:23:39.:23:43.

cases have gone on, and athletes coming back. So for an athlete

:23:44.:23:53.

coming back now, you do not understand how it will be received.

:23:54.:23:58.

Let's see how the women have got on and if the men have warmed the track

:23:59.:24:02.

up. Andrew Cotton is the commentator for the first heat.

:24:03.:24:11.

Veronica Campbell-Brown may be challenged by the Nigerian. The

:24:12.:24:20.

Barbados athlete is in good form. Three go through automatically.

:24:21.:24:37.

Veronica Campbell-Brown away cleanly.

:24:38.:24:47.

She powers down the engines, she is is across the line.

:24:48.:24:52.

She powers down the I think Jake Bailey came through in third place.

:24:53.:24:58.

Easy enough for Veronica Campbell-Brown.

:24:59.:25:09.

She is very low, and then she lifts up. She looks comfortable. We have

:25:10.:25:17.

but on the track, long stride, but on the track, long stride,

:25:18.:25:22.

looking impressive, easing home. Not a quick time, but plenty of running

:25:23.:25:32.

in the Roddick Campbell Brown. There is confirmation of that. A modest

:25:33.:25:35.

time by her standards. And this was how Heat 2 went. Amy

:25:36.:25:58.

Foster did really well to get through automatically as well.

:25:59.:26:23.

STEVE CRAM: We are back live now with Heat 4.

:26:24.:27:08.

though it is going to be the athlete from Nairu.

:27:09.:27:36.

Ahye was sixth in the World Indoors in Poland. She has been absolutely

:27:37.:27:57.

scintillating at times this season, she has been in great form. Sophie

:27:58.:28:20.

Papps, a former Commonwealth youth champion in this event, in 2011.

:28:21.:28:27.

First three guaranteed to get through to the semifinals tomorrow.

:28:28.:28:39.

Ahye gets a pretty good start. Number ten also gets away well. Ahye

:28:40.:28:47.

has got some work to do! It does not look as though she is firing on all

:28:48.:28:53.

cylinders. It will be quick enough, but Ahye, that strapping on her leg,

:28:54.:28:59.

she said it was cramped after that 200m race in Lucerne. I just wonder

:29:00.:29:04.

whether she was holding back there, and all of a sudden had to go

:29:05.:29:09.

faster. Being got out quickly. Sophie Papps ran a really strong

:29:10.:29:15.

race. Photo finish. Indeed, the Trinidad Tobago star has just

:29:16.:29:22.

pipped her on the line. Top three go through anyway. It was not great.

:29:23.:29:32.

Sophie Papps will be delighted. Colin, what did you make of that?

:29:33.:29:39.

COLIN JACKSON I am disappointed. As you know, we want to see the best

:29:40.:29:43.

athletes in the best shape, when you arrive at these big championships.

:29:44.:29:51.

She ran the best time in the Diamond League, and we expected her to come

:29:52.:29:56.

here and to be the one to watch. But unfortunately picking up that injury

:29:57.:29:58.

has cost her the unfortunately picking up that injury

:29:59.:30:02.

winning this title, I believe. But let's see, this is only the first

:30:03.:30:07.

round. She did go through the gears, testing that like to see how it

:30:08.:30:11.

would stand up. Sophie Papps, from England, brilliant to see this. She

:30:12.:30:14.

is still very young, still learning her trade. To come to this type of

:30:15.:30:21.

competition, knowing that there are lots of people around you who have

:30:22.:30:24.

run quicker than you, with far more experience than you, and to come out

:30:25.:30:29.

and perform so well, I think she will be very, very happy indeed. The

:30:30.:30:34.

crowd warmed to her. She sucked in the atmosphere, and as far as I am

:30:35.:30:38.

concerned, she has performed very, very well indeed.

:30:39.:30:46.

Sophie, congratulations, through to the next round. You were a late

:30:47.:30:52.

call-up to the team, but dealt with it wonderfully well? Thanks. I only

:30:53.:30:58.

got told I was running on Thursday. I have not had the preparation,

:30:59.:31:02.

obviously. But if somebody says to you, run in the Commonwealth Games

:31:03.:31:07.

if you want. I was like, OK, I will do it! Me and my coach were both

:31:08.:31:14.

really excited. This takes me back am talking about that, to the World

:31:15.:31:22.

Indoors earlier in the year, when you were on the big stage in a GB

:31:23.:31:26.

vest for the first time, and you dealt with the occasion so well -

:31:27.:31:32.

how much has that helped? So much. I have mature the lot, even since the

:31:33.:31:37.

indoors, but that was going from a girl to a lady. It is a lot easier,

:31:38.:31:42.

having had experience. Because I know that I can cope with this kind

:31:43.:31:47.

of arena. I came out, and I was, well, can I do this? I was just,

:31:48.:31:53.

calm down, I train every single day for this. And I am on the line, I

:31:54.:31:57.

just need to get on with it. Well done, we will see you tomorrow.

:31:58.:32:06.

STEVE CRAM: Yes, a very ladylike from Sophie Papps! I was forgetting

:32:07.:32:14.

that of course, it is the top three. At the minute, Pemberton will still

:32:15.:32:24.

be going through as a fastest loser. Moving onto Heat 5, and one of the

:32:25.:32:39.

contenders for a medal will be Okagbare, surely. And there she is.

:32:40.:32:53.

She won World Championship medals in both the 200m and in the long jump

:32:54.:33:02.

last year in Moscow. And there is Rachel Johncock. Asha Phillip will

:33:03.:33:15.

also get her hand and welcome. Very, very impressive early-season,

:33:16.:33:18.

perhaps has just tailed off a little bit. But still very, very capable of

:33:19.:33:26.

getting in the mix in the final. As to get their first of course. Has to

:33:27.:33:28.

get to the semifinal first. Clean start, Okagbare took no

:33:29.:34:05.

chances, but now she is going well. Okagbare strolling across the line,

:34:06.:34:11.

Asha Phillip gets there. And the Cypriot athlete gets the third

:34:12.:34:14.

automatic place. Rachel Johncock will have to wait and see if her

:34:15.:34:18.

time is quick enough. But the long, flowing locks is of Okagbare.

:34:19.:34:26.

Blessing Okagbare, making that look very comfortable.

:34:27.:34:33.

COLIN JACKSON It was a strong performance. We have seen her

:34:34.:34:36.

performing very well on the world level, both in the long jump, the

:34:37.:34:41.

100 and 200, and you can see why. A tall, rangy runner. Coached by Mr

:34:42.:34:50.

technique of the sprints, John Smith. We could list the athletes

:34:51.:34:54.

that he has been successful with. ANDREW COTTER: I think she wanted to

:34:55.:34:59.

work on getting a good start, and she did that. If she does that, she

:35:00.:35:05.

is a contender. That's right. But because she is such arranging

:35:06.:35:08.

runner, she can claw back many athletes. You just have to get more

:35:09.:35:18.

and more experience. Asha Phillip, certainly our number one this year,

:35:19.:35:25.

also qualified quite comfortable. The Welsh champion, to her right,

:35:26.:35:29.

Rachel Johncock. She will enjoy this kind of experience, representing

:35:30.:35:35.

Wales. And with some of the best athletes in the Commonwealth.

:35:36.:35:48.

Asha Phillip, well done, through safely. How were the

:35:49.:35:54.

nerves? Not that bad. When you have got a home crowd, it feels so nice.

:35:55.:35:57.

So, I have come got a home crowd, it feels so nice.

:35:58.:36:03.

sure I get to the final. Tell me what you hope to achieve from this

:36:04.:36:09.

particular event? Your season started wonderfully indoors, and

:36:10.:36:12.

there is more to come from you outdoors? Definitely. You can never

:36:13.:36:19.

put a time on it. Hopefully I will come out with a great personal best

:36:20.:36:22.

in this Championship, and you never know. You cannot help but get

:36:23.:36:26.

inspired by this, the noise is incredible. Yes, definitely. We will

:36:27.:36:48.

Rachel Johncock just run out of the see you tomorrow.

:36:49.:36:48.

Rachel Johncock just run out of the automatic places.

:36:49.:36:59.

Well, it is my first live rendition of 500 Miles, do you know this song?

:37:00.:37:00.

No, I don't. I like it, though! night at parties, and all the time,

:37:01.:37:15.

in Scotland. It is almost like a second anthem. It is nice, yes.

:37:16.:37:21.

Let's talk a little bit about those races, particularly that last one,

:37:22.:37:25.

because Asha Phillip, we know about her injury problems, and I am

:37:26.:37:40.

wondering, the selection process for these Championships is very early.

:37:41.:37:46.

Perhaps the times are tailing off a bit for some athletes, is that a

:37:47.:37:54.

product of the early selection process? I do not think so. You have

:37:55.:37:57.

to give the athletes time to prepare. You cannot do your

:37:58.:38:03.

selection on the fact that athletes may tail off. Hopefully they are

:38:04.:38:05.

professionals and they will only get to. Giving them that month or so to

:38:06.:38:13.

get ready is going to help them to tailor their actual competition

:38:14.:38:25.

schedule. Asha is making a very good comeback from that injury which she

:38:26.:38:29.

sustained. We could see two different races. The start was

:38:30.:38:34.

great, but once she gets up, it is short, choppy strides, as compared

:38:35.:38:40.

to Okagbare. Now, that is not a fair comparison, because she is just...!

:38:41.:38:47.

She was the most impressive we have seen today, including the men. The

:38:48.:38:55.

class of the field. We have spoken about Veronica Campbell Brown, but

:38:56.:39:01.

Okagbare will also have something to say. She is a 200m runner, but

:39:02.:39:08.

looking fantastic in that 100m. Let's see if there is anybody to

:39:09.:39:10.

match her in the remaining heat. STEVE CRAM: Well, a fantastic

:39:11.:39:26.

rendition of the proclaimers' second national anthem for Scotland, I

:39:27.:39:29.

guess you could call it. And here you can see Brier, the 16-year-old,

:39:30.:39:44.

who is waiting for her GCSE results. She has a huge opportunity. She was

:39:45.:39:48.

initially just selected for the relay. She has been given the chance

:39:49.:39:51.

to run the individual event. What a big day for her. Bianca Williams

:39:52.:39:59.

will also be going for England. Just 20 years of age herself. She has

:40:00.:40:05.

fallen away little bit in the last couple of weeks, the last couple of

:40:06.:40:11.

performances have not been great. But she did some good times at the

:40:12.:40:17.

beginning of the season. In between the two of them is Karen Stewart of

:40:18.:40:20.

Jamaica, world and Olympic silver medallist.

:40:21.:41:01.

from Kerron Stewart, and also from Bianca Williams, much better from

:41:02.:41:05.

her. Her last couple of races have not been that good. I am sure she

:41:06.:41:09.

will be delighted and relieved to have got through. A great experience

:41:10.:41:21.

for her, but not be able to get tend in terms of qualification. Big

:41:22.:41:28.

smiles from Bianca Williams. It has been a troubled preparation, but

:41:29.:41:30.

signs that she has something to look forward to, come the semifinal,

:41:31.:41:34.

Colin. Yes, a good performance from Bianca Williams. We know Kerron

:41:35.:41:40.

Stewart's reputation. This is a comfortable run for her. It is nice

:41:41.:41:46.

to see her coming back into form. She had been struggling with

:41:47.:41:50.

injuries. Any time you put on the Jamaican vest, huge expectation.

:41:51.:41:57.

When she put her foot down, she got up to Bianca Williams quite quickly

:41:58.:42:00.

and held it. A good, solid performance. From Bianca Williams,

:42:01.:42:07.

it was good to see, that is a massive confidence boost. That is

:42:08.:42:12.

really good to see. Kerron Stewart in the middle of the screen, when

:42:13.:42:17.

you talk about technique, she is always nice and relaxed, a rangy

:42:18.:42:24.

runner. It is nice to see. They are all happy to tick the boxes of

:42:25.:42:29.

qualification. Yes, really good and relaxed, a big confidence booster

:42:30.:42:33.

for Bianca Williams, alongside Kerron Stewart.

:42:34.:42:35.

for Bianca Williams, alongside Kerron Stewart.

:42:36.:42:37.

able able

:42:38.:42:44.

You say you do not like watching yourself back. Yes, the technique

:42:45.:42:52.

looks horrible! It is so different in my head! You are safely through,

:42:53.:42:58.

that was a Drummond is performance. Running more like we note you can,

:42:59.:43:02.

after a few disappointing races lately. I have been struggling for

:43:03.:43:09.

the past two races, with bad weather, little niggles. I was

:43:10.:43:15.

scared to come out. This is my first ever senior debut, I should call it,

:43:16.:43:22.

I saw the crowd and I thought, that is amazing, I can do this. You had

:43:23.:43:29.

all the crowd singing the Abdullah two proclaimers song at the start! I

:43:30.:43:37.

was dancing along. I am a nobody, but everybody was cheering for me!

:43:38.:43:40.

That is amazing. We will see you tomorrow.

:43:41.:43:41.

That is amazing. We will see you tomorrow.

:43:42.:43:47.

She has got a good career ahead of her. The women's 400 ahead, she may

:43:48.:43:54.

be looking at that in a few years to come.

:43:55.:44:04.

We will tidy up the fastest losers shortly.

:44:05.:44:13.

It was time for the big men to join the party. New Zealand's finest, he

:44:14.:44:20.

dropped a bomb in the first round. He is the Commonwealth leader.

:44:21.:44:26.

21.23. The improved it with a new Commonwealth Games record. Two

:44:27.:44:30.

groups of ten athletes in qualification. 19.90 the automatic

:44:31.:44:37.

altercation. He made that look very easy indeed. He goes in as favourite

:44:38.:44:48.

for tomorrow's final. The Jamaican, also looking to emulate that kind of

:44:49.:44:56.

performance. He nearly made it. Beyond the yellow line, which is the

:44:57.:45:00.

automatic altercation. John the 20 metres, which is the benchmark for

:45:01.:45:11.

world-class throwing. Looking to break the stranglehold of the New

:45:12.:45:15.

Zealanders, who have come strong in men's and women's shot put. A

:45:16.:45:21.

rotational shot at its best. Possibly even more to come. He may

:45:22.:45:27.

be unwound a bit quicker than he might have done, he will do some

:45:28.:45:34.

work on that overnight. He is automatically in the final, that is

:45:35.:45:38.

why his shoes are coming off. It is also good news for the jersey

:45:39.:45:45.

thrower. He improved on every attempt, and saved his best for the

:45:46.:45:49.

third round. Just shy of the automatic qualification. They might

:45:50.:45:55.

have hurt his back slightly. Hopefully, he is OK. I believe that

:45:56.:46:02.

will be enough to take him through to the final. It may be time to take

:46:03.:46:11.

some rest. One metre shy, but in eighth place, with a season's best.

:46:12.:46:26.

Three qualified automatically. None of the home nations there.

:46:27.:46:39.

The Englishman's coach will be cock-a-hoop with that. They will be

:46:40.:46:46.

looking forward to coming back tomorrow night and testing out for

:46:47.:46:47.

the medals. The women's hammer is about to kick

:46:48.:46:56.

off, we will see it throughout the afternoon. The women's 400 metre

:46:57.:47:01.

heat and the men's 5000 metres. Loads of athletics to come, but

:47:02.:47:07.

let's wrap up the women's heat for the 100 metres. A good showing from

:47:08.:47:14.

the one -- from the English girls. Yes, I was especially impressed by

:47:15.:47:19.

Bianca Williams. This experience is immense, she lapped it up. A great

:47:20.:47:28.

technique. It is very encouraging. Even the Reclaimers could not throw

:47:29.:47:31.

her off her stride! The Jamaicans coming through, as always. As

:47:32.:47:36.

expected, Kerron Stewart looked very good. But Veronica Campbell-Brown is

:47:37.:47:42.

still the class of the Jamaicans. There is no clear favourite,

:47:43.:47:49.

Blessing Okagbare looked very good, but it will open up in the

:47:50.:47:53.

semifinals. Let's head back to Hazel Irvine. We will be back here with

:47:54.:47:58.

more athletics later. Yes, the next stop on the journey is

:47:59.:48:04.

three miles west of us, down the river, at Scots sports, because that

:48:05.:48:11.

is where the squash is going on. We have already seen the Malaysian go

:48:12.:48:15.

through in the women's event, and this is the first men's semifinal.

:48:16.:48:22.

It is an all English match, a repeat of the semifinal from four years

:48:23.:48:26.

ago, Nick Matthew one and took the gold medal. They have history.

:48:27.:49:35.

I thought that was very odd, the head judge overruled. All three

:49:36.:49:41.

judges make a decision at the same time. The central referee makes the

:49:42.:49:47.

first position, and then the sideline referees. If an appeal is

:49:48.:49:54.

needed, they will come up with their decision.

:49:55.:50:04.

It is impressive to see the speed of Nick Matthew as he moves forward.

:50:05.:50:15.

Equally impressed by Peter Barker, he has kept his call.

:50:16.:50:30.

He missed out there, though. He should have made that.

:50:31.:50:50.

Just making mistakes now. For Nick Matthew, this is a reward for

:50:51.:50:59.

keeping on getting the ball back and returning the pressure in the second

:51:00.:51:04.

game. Peter Barker feels he has to go lower and lower. You have to hit

:51:05.:51:09.

a perfect shot to get a point against Nick Matthew at this stage.

:51:10.:51:16.

Again, winning the battle of the drop shots. Peter Barker has got to

:51:17.:51:24.

regroup, it is spinning away from him very rapidly. Another mistake.

:51:25.:51:38.

The body language of Peter Barker, he looks deflated.

:51:39.:51:51.

Will that give him the lift that he so obviously needs? Sometimes, when

:51:52.:52:02.

you relax enough, you accept that a loss may be inevitable, you can

:52:03.:52:05.

loosen up a bit, start hitting some nice shots.

:52:06.:52:18.

That is too good. He really worked him over, the Nick Matthew.

:52:19.:52:42.

A little bump as Matthew went for the ball.

:52:43.:52:56.

Too many errors from the back of the court, and also from the front. This

:52:57.:53:01.

is bread and butter for Nick Matthew.

:53:02.:53:24.

Exquisite way from Peter Barker. It is nice to see the crowd trying to

:53:25.:53:37.

live Peter Barker. He really needs something extra to make a

:53:38.:53:38.

challenge. This is much more like it. Peter

:53:39.:53:59.

Barker hit his drop shots on either side, hitting the right targets

:54:00.:54:06.

right now. And again. It is what you talked about, you relax a bit,

:54:07.:54:12.

almost accepting the fact that defeat looks likely, and now he is

:54:13.:54:14.

dangerous again. Easy in hindsight. That might have

:54:15.:54:50.

been Peter Barker's last stand. A great effort. Nick Matthew hitting a

:54:51.:55:00.

perfect length. Two points away from the final.

:55:01.:55:51.

Immediate stroke, and no arguments, it came straight out. A great rally,

:55:52.:56:01.

this is super squash. Absolutely, a couple more points for Peter Barker,

:56:02.:56:05.

the pressure will go on to Nick Matthew.

:56:06.:57:24.

The end of a terrific struggle from Peter Barker. It was an

:57:25.:57:32.

extraordinary contest. But in the end, Nick Matthew was too

:57:33.:57:38.

consistent, too good, and the number one seed, living up to his billing.

:57:39.:57:46.

Not long after having surgery on his knee, he has made it through to the

:57:47.:57:51.

Commonwealth Games final. Well played to Nick Matthew, who goes

:57:52.:57:57.

through to the final, where he will play either the Indian, or James

:57:58.:58:00.

Willstrop. It is interesting, because those two are actually best

:58:01.:58:06.

friends. So rad used to live in Pontefract, and used to train with

:58:07.:58:10.

them. There will be no peasantry is this evening however when they take

:58:11.:58:14.

to the court. We have got a change of channel, but before we go, some

:58:15.:58:23.

headlines. Adam Gemili was the fastest man in the 100m heats this

:58:24.:58:35.

afternoon. He did a time of 10.15. Australian Michael Shelley won gold

:58:36.:58:41.

in the men's marathon this morning, finishing 43 seconds ahead of

:58:42.:58:49.

Stephen Chemlany of Kenya. And the women's title went

:58:50.:59:00.

Stephen Chemlany of Kenya. And the Cheyech annual.

:59:01.:59:00.

Stephen Chemlany of Kenya. And the rugby sevens medal for the Home

:59:01.:59:01.

Nations. All of them have bowed out at the quarterfinal stage. The

:59:02.:59:06.

medals will be decided this evening. -- Flomena Cheyech Daniel. And as I

:59:07.:59:10.

say, we are heading over to BBC -- Flomena Cheyech Daniel. And as I

:59:11.:59:13.

so you can join us there. -- Flomena Cheyech Daniel. And as I

:59:14.:59:16.

leave you with a quick look down the river, as we look down towards the

:59:17.:59:23.

Riverside Museum. It was designed by the same designer as the Aquatics

:59:24.:59:29.

Centre in London. See you again in a couple of minutes.

:59:30.:59:31.
