BBC One: Day 4: 13:15-16:50 Commonwealth Games

Glasgow, Dave four of the Commonwealth Games. Australia are

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

today. Michael Shelley Rudman a perfect marathon in soggy conditions

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

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

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

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

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

at the quarterfinals, John joins us now.

No home nations, but we had magnificent quarterfinals. First

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

intimidated by say, the one team that is never

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

Wales, but they got better and found a way to

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

shooting and we will head to Carnoustie. Shot gun requires

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

veteran of Commonwealth Games competition. Back to Shreyasi Singh.

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

APPLAUSE The scale you know. -- the

Australian now. Drops another double. Kerwood misses another

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

APPLAUSE Shreyasi Singh finishing on five.

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

averages but after dropping the double, the lead will be

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

APPLAUSE So, Shreyasi Singh finishing with a

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

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

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

Games gold medal list. Please give you very warm congratulations to

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

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

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

2006 and has repeated trap. She did it in Melbourne in

Glasgow 2014. Soviet -- the 80s. There will be shipped off to

determine the bronze between There will be shipped off to

Meyer and Rachel Parish. There will be shipped off to

the field There will be shipped off to

placings. Oh, my God, yes, I did not know I was so

placings. Oh, my God, yes, I did not out there. You get told you are five

ahead and you think, oh, my God. I feel great. If hat-trick of

Commonwealth golds now. Would have been for if you had won in Delhi.

Commonwealth golds now. Would have Yes, it is a good feeling. It is

good! Tremendous performance from

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

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

took bronze in a dramatic shift off. Terrific afternoon and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

other nations here. The African nations are strong physically but

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

tournament. The Welshman boxing today, he cruised through

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

impressive. Gauthier comes forward in square fashion presenting a big

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

within Canada boxing against Gauthier at a training camp.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Welshman is Joe Cordina is composed. The

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

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

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

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

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

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

Joe Cordina, what a wonderful performance,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

quarterfinals, Joe Cordina. APPLAUSE. Ladies and gentlemen,

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

Cordina is in the quarterfinals with that impressive display.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

brilliant game there. The reigning Malaysia and champion Nicole David

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

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

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

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

over there now for another incredible matchup. Paul Foster and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

running programme and start of the athletics merging together in a

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

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

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

recent Diamond League meet. Just perfect as the Commonwealth sprint

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

become the most successful track cyclist ever the Commonwealth Games.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1924 Olympics 400 metres champion made his last British appearance at

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

missing but the Commonwealth Games is an opportunity for young and

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

has hosted European Championship football finals, had as many as

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

a great model potentially this is converting stadiums are not having

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for talking to us. Thank you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Absolutely. They have a great traditions printing and want to

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

below ten. Very different build to Bailey-Cole.

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

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

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

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

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

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

plan. The man with that here, Jason

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Championships, but we have not seen that transition taking place

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Another disqualification! Qualification will be easier in this

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

through automatically. There are a couple of other very good

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

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

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

the big guns. Paralympics. Antoine Adams is one of

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

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

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

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

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

season. He has gone below ten seconds before. Harry

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

automatic qualifiers. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey will have to

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

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

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

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

10.2 recently. His relative struggles go on. Harry

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

away from Harry Aikines-Aryeetey. Jason Smyth competing very

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

live with it. Tomorrow will be better.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Michael, putting the emphasis on preparing for two

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

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

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

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

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

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

prowess, but mental and sporting intelligence is something that is

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nobody near him. Into a headwind. Impressive running from

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

heats, with Richard Thompson and Nickel Ashmeade not running out

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Let us see if Richard Kilty adopts that person.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

given, rather unusually, joint second. Three

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

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

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

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

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

probably always going to get you through, it is wise

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

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

hopefully wake up tomorrow feeling better and enjoy myself tomorrow and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

interesting, this lack of transformation from indoor, where he

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

quite have it. It is heat number eight.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

automatically. You were a bit unimpressed. It was

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

think sometimes it is the anticipation, sometimes you are

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Keston Bledman should have the experience and ability to qualify

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

good experience from the World Championships last year. Lawrence

will be bat on home Championships last year. Lawrence

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

going flat out and who was comfortable and who was

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

through after the lacklustre performance from him.

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

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

start. Nickel Ashmeade nursing his problems

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

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

The women's long jump, mild to moderate paralysis to one side of

the body, and the cerebral palsy class.

She has a lifetime best of 3.79. It was a lifetime best.

That was followed by Bethany It took the lead.

That was followed by Bethany Woodward, a world gold medallist in

the 400 metres, looking to put the speed into the long jump. She has

never before gone beyond four metres. She knew it was good, a

lifetime best of 3.92. That was buying gone four metres. This was

the pre-event favourite, the Australian. A lifetime best of 4.22,

she got a bronze in the relay in the Paralympic Games. She has dominated

the event, she has jumped over four metres in every attempt. That was

her best, 4.36. That is the standings. We are in the final

round, it may change, but the Australian is way out in front.

It could be blowing a bit more vibrantly, but it is not the kind of

day we have grown to expect in Glasgow, which is rapidly being

booked up by many people as a summer holiday destination, 28 degrees it

was on Friday! Michael Johnson does not believe us! It is not the

torrential rain, which was predicted. The crowds are not put

off by the clouds, they are enjoying the athletics they have seen so far

in these early stages. We saw what we have seen across these

championships, the integration of Para-sport. We can talk a bit about

what that means and how that can change perception and the way that

Para-sport is represented, going forward. It is amazing that the

Commonwealth Games have taken the step for inclusion. The long jump is

a developing sport, the World Championship is dominated by the

Europeans. It is part of a strategy of encouraging some of the

developing nations to think about how they develop disabled sport for

women. There are some events which are stronger than others, that is

true across all the disciplines, but the field events need developing. Is

it something that we will see more of? We will have six here. We also

had Para-sport involved in the Diamond League. Or would you like to

see them stay separate, and it is just something that happens

occasionally at large events? It is good for the Olympics and

Paralympics to be separate, but international federations are being

completely inclusive, and athletics, after 2017, it could go down that

route. We have had demonstration events in the past but never had

full medal status. The international federations could do a bit more. The

crowd appreciate it, because after London, there was a huge groundswell

of support and appreciation of Para-sport. To the crowd, it will

seem normal. Yes, that was a huge step forward after London. Even in

the US, it started to get support, and we have been relatively behind.

We are starting to see a lot more support. We will know we have

cracked it when we get prime-time TV in the state. At the moment, it is a

couple of weeks afterwards, but once we crack the American market, we

will know we have made it. No American athletes here this week!

Those nine hits we American athletes here this week!

heat was the quickest overall, and the most relaxed looking. Yes, we

heat was the quickest overall, and talked earlier about shaking the

coat off, eating focused and being ready to race. It is not warm, but

they have to think about tomorrow, we want to see the speed kicking in,

the kind of athletics that people want to buy into, where it is

competitive. Without Usain Bolt, there is every opportunity for

somebody to make a name for themselves. It is always difficult

to be able to assess in the early rounds. Colin mentioned it earlier,

and Steve, who is running 100%, who is holding back? Keston Bledman

looked the most impressive, but it will be tomorrow when we will see if

people like Richard Thompson have any more, Adam Gemili, will they be

able to bring more tomorrow? I am looking forward to that, we will

start to see the separation. It is 5 degrees warmer tomorrow, so we never

know, we might see some sunshine. The semifinals and finals are

tomorrow, and we will see the women's heats later.

It does not seem to be deterring the crowds, because we have got 40,000

at Hampden Park, 50,000 at Ibrox for the rugby sevens, 350,000 tickets

have been the rugby sevens, 350,000 tickets

events. It has been the rugby sevens, 350,000 tickets

uptake. I had the pleasure to pop my head in the door of the netball,

judo and boxing, the crowds have been terrific. They are back for the

boxing again, because we are the been terrific. They are back for the

grabs. We will share with you a fight from some Maxwell, in the

light welterweight contest. He is bidding for a place in the

quarterfinals. He is ranked in the world's top 20, so he knows his way

around the quarterfinals. He is ranked in the

world's top 20, so he knows ring, but he has got a tough match against

a Kenyan opponent. Let's see how he gets on.

This is much number 74, the man in blue, England's representative in

the light welterweight, and Maxwell has the advantage of having a

contest under his belt. He stopped his Tongan opponent in the second

round. His keen on opponent got a bye in the previous round. Sam

Maxwell will be concentrating on the job in hand. He boxed well within

himself last time. A good performance last time. He is against

a danger man with good head movement. Maxwell has got to keep

his punches nice and straight. When his man closes Big Apple, he must

bring the right uppercut to the middle, but concentrate on straight

jabs and right-hand and box at distance. That is better. Both men

boxed at the World Championships last year, without much success. The

Kenyans went out to a Turkish boxer, last year, without much success. The

Kenyans went out to a Maxwell had a clash of heads against the Italian,

he was disqualified, although the English team appealed, it was turned

down. The canyon is chunky and solid looking. The Kenyans have sent a

strong team here. Not getting it his own way, as he did in the first

contest, Sam Maxwell. He is making a couple of little mistakes, Maxwell.

He is holding his feet a little bit too long, he must hit them move. He

does not need to hit and then falling to his opponent. This fella

is hoping for to happen. So, Maxwell, as he is leading with the

jab, has got to adjust his feet and create that room, ready to punch

again. He has got caught a couple of times, Maxwell, and he is getting

caught. Right into the ribs. Maxwell having a look at the referee. Good

variation. The canyon is immensely strong.

Well, that was too close to call. Yes, I think Maxwell won that round.

They will be fairly pleased in the corner. It was not such a bad round.

Maxwell himself just gets caught by that right hand. But he did some

good stuff with his own straight left and straight right. There was a

right hand from Maxwell. That is when he has got to move his feet,

after that, Jim. After he has landed the shot. But this is a tough

Kenyan. 25 years of age, born in Hackney, but boxes out of Liverpool

now. There will be a certain amount of

relief in the English corner, in the knowledge that Maxwell has won the

opening round, on all three scores. He did not get it all his own way, I

would not have been surprised had at least one judge gone for the Kenyan,

. Denis Okoth I did think Maxwell won the round, but it was quite

close. Keep your punches long and straight, and then move the feet.

with the right. The jab is so important in this situation, it will

just keep his opponent off balance. Okoth is trying to set for the

attacks. While he is setting, it does not hurt for Maxwell to be

sticking that jab into his face, just to upset his rhythm for the

contest. JIM NEILLY: Good movement by Sam

Maxwell, the quicker feet of the two. Uppercut with the right, and

then body shop with the left Denning did well there, midway through the

second. But is better. So important for

Maxwell to use that left-hand. He has had a busy couple of years, Sam

Maxwell, boxing all over the world. Tournaments in Finland, Bulgaria,

Germany and Turkey. And he has been either first or second in all of

them, so here's gaining experience. That was low Lee moved by Maxwell.

He looks very relaxed now. A wonderful left-hand. Okoth seems to

be running out of ideas, slightly. He is, when he is at range, because

he cannot get past Maxwell's long reach. That is why it is so

important that he keeps him at a distance. It is clever boxing. The

feet are wonderful, from Maxwell. Much better second-round than the

first. If we thought the first was close, I do not think the second one

was remotely close. Nice little pat on the head there! Just keep it

going! RICHIE WOODHALL: Yes, good work from

Maxwell in this round. Lovely right hand, super little shot. And here is

that left hook, a belting punch. Before that, there were two or three

jobs. Around the side - bang! Lovely punch. This is a terrific division,

the light welterweight division. Alaska mother top half of the draw

has been loaded with all of the favourites.

So, two rounds in the bag for the man in blue, the English light

welterweight Sam Maxwell. This is the city for kilogram division. One

more win after this, and you are into the medals. -- this is the 64

kilogram division. He has to stay out of trouble and

box sensibly. You are up against a dangerous man who is going to keep

coming. There you go. So you certainly do not need to be on the

ropes. But back to the centre. Oh, lovely. Double hook to the body, and

then a hock to the head. Better by Maxwell. Stung a little bit by the

rough house attack from the Kenyan, Okoth. How much more has Okoth got?

We are about to find out. Not a bad left, and another one, from the

Kenyan. He cannot get going, though, Jim, when he is boxing at range.

That is why it is important for Maxwell to maintain his distance at

all costs against this guy. Maxwell to maintain his distance at

was shaken by that one. Still not recovered. It was the sweetest of

shots, he just kept the left shoulder momentarily, and then the

right was perfect. Into the final half of the last round, and some

Maxwell is heading for a second victory here in this competitive

division in Glasgow 2014. Now, what has gone on? Is there a cut? Maxwell

has been told to go to the no, corner. There seems to be a cut.

Well, that is the seventh or eighth we have seen. We have had four

contests we have seen. We have had four

which is more than the last two Commonwealth Games put together. A

lot of Commonwealth Games put together. A

clashes, that I think that was from a punch. He seems to be fine, the

doctor has indicated that he is fit to continue. He knows he is, he

knows he is behind, he will come to continue. He knows he is, he

steaming forward to try to end this one. At Maxwell is too clever for

that. He was on the receiving end of a couple of hard shots before that.

Just gave him a few valuable seconds to recover, as the doctor looked at

him. But Maxwell is now boxing superbly well at range.

Nice balance by Maxwell, picked his man off, with a right to the body.

Covers up well. Does he want a big finish, Maxwell, just to show

everybody how good he is? He may well do. Okoth forced back into his

own corner. Maxwell looking for a telling shot just to round off what

has been a pretty good nine minutes' work. Maxwell covers up,

and he knows he has won, another very good performance by the English

light welterweight Sam Maxwell. And through to the quarterfinals. Pretty

impressive, right from the start. Clever little display, that last 30

seconds. He could have played to the crowd and tries to go for a

stoppage, but no, he was sensible. Look at that ? want to the, one to

the head. Good, long-range work from Maxwell.

Boxed to his strengths, worthy winner. Pretty impressive.

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, or our judges are in agreement. The

winner, by unanimous decision, progressing through to the 64

kilograms quarterfinal, in the blue corner...! A nice little smile from

some Maxwell, and a smile of relief as well. He has got the first two

out of the way. We might be still talking about him in a few days'

time. That first round looked quite tight, but from then on, it looked

like you were in control? Yes, it took me awhile to with his strength,

he was stronger than I thought. I thought I had a good second half,

and then switched off a bit in the last. I looked a bit tired, but I

knew I had more in my tank. But I knew I was winning the fight. Jim

and Richie Woodhall was saying, you look best when you are at range?

Definitely, that is my bread-and-butter, a lot of

one-twos. But sometimes just try and land a harder shot. But against

people who are just as strong as me, it is a bad thing to do. It might be

in the next round that you have got the defending Commonwealth gold

medallist, from India. If he wins now, it will be your next? Yes, I

have seen him around the world a lot of times. But my friend Tom from

Liverpool has beaten him twice, so I might give him a little phone call

to get some tips. Great result. Yes, he boxes for the Salisbury club

in Liverpool, and he is through to the quarterfinals. We are going to

move to a sport which has been described as boxing with rackets. It

is squash. It describes the pressures of being enclosed in a

glass box, being watched by everyone, and doing battle over the

best of five games. That is how it was described by Nicol David of

Malaysia, the reigning world number one. And she has been marvellous so

far, only dropping one game on her way to the semifinals. It is

semifinals day in both the men's and the women's singles events down in

Scotstoun. We are going to watch Nicol David now, up against Joelle

King of New Zealand, going for a place in the final.

shot, even though she is as good as she is, you will see her do that so

often. She makes an error, she will practice again, just to make sure

she has the feel of it. Rather than give herself a tough time.

Absolutely. Well done. She looked as though she

had that under control, but not a bit of it. It was a good counter

drop from Joelle King. Nicol David on the back foot, and the counter

drop works well when the player is potentially pushing away from the

front corner. It is looking good again at the

start of the game, but remember what happened in the last game. It must

be in the back of her mind. But Joelle King have to press on. She

started with the same game plan as the second game, she is trying to be

more positive, she is in front, which is where she needs to be. She

is looking for the volley opportunity a bit more. She is

trying to take on the volley, and using height to get the ball to the

back of the court. She is trying to get Nicol David deep, and then

attack. Those shots always come in handy. I

am not sure they are always played for, but they do come in handy. Even

by the world number one! Absolutely. You can almost feel nickel David

turning up the heat. She turns it on when she needs to.

It is the first time I have watched Nicol David live, there is such a

grace of movement, it is wonderful to watch. She is lovely to watch,

she is very gracious on the court, for what she has achieved in her

career, but only does she moved beautifully, she is such a lovely

person on and off the court. She does great work. Four. Great

ambassador for the sport, not only how to

It might have been a stroke, but she is not pushing the point. You kind

of know whether it is a stroke or a let. Sometimes, the players push it

a bit, but she is such an honest player, if she thinks it is just a

let, she will not make any bones about it.

beautiful. It is so easy for her. Even when she is at full stretch,

every sinew working to its maximum, she looks in control. Yes, she is in

great condition, she is a very balanced player. When she plays the

ball, she is very stable and still. balanced player. When she plays the

You do not see too much movement balanced player. When she plays the

when she is playing the ball. She plays the shot and then moves off

the ball. Badminton is the number-1 sport for

women her country, but she is a huge star in her country. Totally.

Badminton has the superstars, but she is just as famous as the

badminton stars. She deserves it. She has worked incredibly hard to

get where she is in the game of squash. The fact that she does so

much outside the game to support it, she is a great ambassador, huge

involvement with the Olympic bid, and just doing great work around the

game. She does thoroughly deserve the status, she has earned it.

Again, mesmerising play from Nicol David. Joelle King shaking her head.

I think she is possibly unsure about what she needs to do to try and get

on top of this game. Do not think she is sure at all, she needs to get

the ball further to the back of the court. It is too short.

I see that her ambition is to play squash in the Olympics in 2020. If

squash is a candidate, she wants to be there, and she wants to win the

gold-medal. It is a great ambition. First things first, it would be

fantastic to see squash in the Olympics. Right now, the

Commonwealth Games is the pinnacle. But to see it in the Olympic Games

would be superb. What a great ambition for Joelle King to have.

Two points away from the final. That was too good. Pinpoint accuracy

again. And again, Joelle King never on top of the point. Nicol David

always in front, and she has been the key problem. There it is. A

quite fabulous performance from Nicol David. Joelle King, the number

four seed, not really in the match at any stage. Just for a fraction at

the start of the second game, you thought it might possibly be a

contest, then Nicol David raised the game, and from that moment, there

was only ever going to be one winner. Absolutely. Nicol David

playing some fantastic squash, very simple squash, but very effective.

Yes, great skill and style, she will find out at 6:45pm who she will be

facing tomorrow, and it will be an Englishwoman. The other semifinal

will be all English. Our timings are slipping on this Sunday. That means

that if you want to share the action from the velodrome, please be our

guest, it will be there in its entirety on BBC Three. There is some

good stuff happening. More good stuff happening in Hampden Park on

the first day of track and field. That is the home of Scottish

football, but it is the home to athletics for the next few days. We

are going to see the women's 100 metres. There is no Shelly-Ann

Fraser-Pryce, she has decided to just do the sprint relay. But we

will see the Nicky Campbell Brown, from Jamaica -- raw Nicky Campbell

Brown. She has had a torrid few months. She

was tested positive last May, 2013, but in February this year, it was

overruled, cos they said there was an environmental flaw in the testing

of her B sample, so she is here, she is 32, she has won seven Olympic

medals, including three gold medals, and she is going to be here to prove

she is still at the top of her game. She said it was a devastating

blow to her, not least financially, because she was out of the Diamond

League last season. She already has proved a point. Despite not running

much, she proved a point. Despite not running

much, has run 10.86, which is not slow by any stretch of the

imagination. She has done it all. She does not have a Commonwealth

gold medal. She has been embraced back. She is married to a

Commonwealth gold medallist, Omar Brown, but she is here to prove she

is still at the top of her game come without Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

Hopefully, we will see some high standards. I think we will. It will

not be just given to her. Michelle-Lee Ahye has run very well,

she is the new up and coming star. She will have something to say about

Veronica Campbell-Brown. It is difficult, after you have had the

time off, and you have gone through the emotional stress, and then

coming back out, you do not know how you will be received, lots of drugs

cases have gone on, and athletes coming back. So for an athlete

coming back now, you do not understand how it will be received.

Let's see how the women have got on and if the men have warmed the track

up. Andrew Cotton is the commentator for the first heat.

Veronica Campbell-Brown may be challenged by the Nigerian. The

Barbados athlete is in good form. Three go through automatically.

Veronica Campbell-Brown away cleanly.

She powers down the engines, she is is across the line.

She powers down the I think Jake Bailey came through in third place.

Easy enough for Veronica Campbell-Brown.

She is very low, and then she lifts up. She looks comfortable. We have

but on the track, long stride, but on the track, long stride,

looking impressive, easing home. Not a quick time, but plenty of running

in the Roddick Campbell Brown. There is confirmation of that. A modest

time by her standards. And this was how Heat 2 went. Amy

Foster did really well to get through automatically as well.

STEVE CRAM: We are back live now with Heat 4.

though it is going to be the athlete from Nairu.

Ahye was sixth in the World Indoors in Poland. She has been absolutely

scintillating at times this season, she has been in great form. Sophie

Papps, a former Commonwealth youth champion in this event, in 2011.

First three guaranteed to get through to the semifinals tomorrow.

Ahye gets a pretty good start. Number ten also gets away well. Ahye

has got some work to do! It does not look as though she is firing on all

cylinders. It will be quick enough, but Ahye, that strapping on her leg,

she said it was cramped after that 200m race in Lucerne. I just wonder

whether she was holding back there, and all of a sudden had to go

faster. Being got out quickly. Sophie Papps ran a really strong

race. Photo finish. Indeed, the Trinidad Tobago star has just

pipped her on the line. Top three go through anyway. It was not great.

Sophie Papps will be delighted. Colin, what did you make of that?

COLIN JACKSON I am disappointed. As you know, we want to see the best

athletes in the best shape, when you arrive at these big championships.

She ran the best time in the Diamond League, and we expected her to come

here and to be the one to watch. But unfortunately picking up that injury

has cost her the unfortunately picking up that injury

winning this title, I believe. But let's see, this is only the first

round. She did go through the gears, testing that like to see how it

would stand up. Sophie Papps, from England, brilliant to see this. She

is still very young, still learning her trade. To come to this type of

competition, knowing that there are lots of people around you who have

run quicker than you, with far more experience than you, and to come out

and perform so well, I think she will be very, very happy indeed. The

crowd warmed to her. She sucked in the atmosphere, and as far as I am

concerned, she has performed very, very well indeed.

Sophie, congratulations, through to the next round. You were a late

call-up to the team, but dealt with it wonderfully well? Thanks. I only

got told I was running on Thursday. I have not had the preparation,

obviously. But if somebody says to you, run in the Commonwealth Games

if you want. I was like, OK, I will do it! Me and my coach were both

really excited. This takes me back am talking about that, to the World

Indoors earlier in the year, when you were on the big stage in a GB

vest for the first time, and you dealt with the occasion so well -

how much has that helped? So much. I have mature the lot, even since the

indoors, but that was going from a girl to a lady. It is a lot easier,

having had experience. Because I know that I can cope with this kind

of arena. I came out, and I was, well, can I do this? I was just,

calm down, I train every single day for this. And I am on the line, I

just need to get on with it. Well done, we will see you tomorrow.

STEVE CRAM: Yes, a very ladylike from Sophie Papps! I was forgetting

that of course, it is the top three. At the minute, Pemberton will still

be going through as a fastest loser. Moving onto Heat 5, and one of the

contenders for a medal will be Okagbare, surely. And there she is.

She won World Championship medals in both the 200m and in the long jump

last year in Moscow. And there is Rachel Johncock. Asha Phillip will

also get her hand and welcome. Very, very impressive early-season,

perhaps has just tailed off a little bit. But still very, very capable of

getting in the mix in the final. As to get their first of course. Has to

get to the semifinal first. Clean start, Okagbare took no

chances, but now she is going well. Okagbare strolling across the line,

Asha Phillip gets there. And the Cypriot athlete gets the third

automatic place. Rachel Johncock will have to wait and see if her

time is quick enough. But the long, flowing locks is of Okagbare.

Blessing Okagbare, making that look very comfortable.

COLIN JACKSON It was a strong performance. We have seen her

performing very well on the world level, both in the long jump, the

100 and 200, and you can see why. A tall, rangy runner. Coached by Mr

technique of the sprints, John Smith. We could list the athletes

that he has been successful with. ANDREW COTTER: I think she wanted to

work on getting a good start, and she did that. If she does that, she

is a contender. That's right. But because she is such arranging

runner, she can claw back many athletes. You just have to get more

and more experience. Asha Phillip, certainly our number one this year,

also qualified quite comfortable. The Welsh champion, to her right,

Rachel Johncock. She will enjoy this kind of experience, representing

Wales. And with some of the best athletes in the Commonwealth.

Asha Phillip, well done, through safely. How were the

nerves? Not that bad. When you have got a home crowd, it feels so nice.

So, I have come got a home crowd, it feels so nice.

sure I get to the final. Tell me what you hope to achieve from this

particular event? Your season started wonderfully indoors, and

there is more to come from you outdoors? Definitely. You can never

put a time on it. Hopefully I will come out with a great personal best

in this Championship, and you never know. You cannot help but get

inspired by this, the noise is incredible. Yes, definitely. We will

Rachel Johncock just run out of the see you tomorrow.

Rachel Johncock just run out of the automatic places.

Well, it is my first live rendition of 500 Miles, do you know this song?

No, I don't. I like it, though! night at parties, and all the time,

in Scotland. It is almost like a second anthem. It is nice, yes.

Let's talk a little bit about those races, particularly that last one,

because Asha Phillip, we know about her injury problems, and I am

wondering, the selection process for these Championships is very early.

Perhaps the times are tailing off a bit for some athletes, is that a

product of the early selection process? I do not think so. You have

to give the athletes time to prepare. You cannot do your

selection on the fact that athletes may tail off. Hopefully they are

professionals and they will only get to. Giving them that month or so to

get ready is going to help them to tailor their actual competition

schedule. Asha is making a very good comeback from that injury which she

sustained. We could see two different races. The start was

great, but once she gets up, it is short, choppy strides, as compared

to Okagbare. Now, that is not a fair comparison, because she is just...!

She was the most impressive we have seen today, including the men. The

class of the field. We have spoken about Veronica Campbell Brown, but

Okagbare will also have something to say. She is a 200m runner, but

looking fantastic in that 100m. Let's see if there is anybody to

match her in the remaining heat. STEVE CRAM: Well, a fantastic

rendition of the proclaimers' second national anthem for Scotland, I

guess you could call it. And here you can see Brier, the 16-year-old,

who is waiting for her GCSE results. She has a huge opportunity. She was

initially just selected for the relay. She has been given the chance

to run the individual event. What a big day for her. Bianca Williams

will also be going for England. Just 20 years of age herself. She has

fallen away little bit in the last couple of weeks, the last couple of

performances have not been great. But she did some good times at the

beginning of the season. In between the two of them is Karen Stewart of

Jamaica, world and Olympic silver medallist.

from Kerron Stewart, and also from Bianca Williams, much better from

her. Her last couple of races have not been that good. I am sure she

will be delighted and relieved to have got through. A great experience

for her, but not be able to get tend in terms of qualification. Big

smiles from Bianca Williams. It has been a troubled preparation, but

signs that she has something to look forward to, come the semifinal,

Colin. Yes, a good performance from Bianca Williams. We know Kerron

Stewart's reputation. This is a comfortable run for her. It is nice

to see her coming back into form. She had been struggling with

injuries. Any time you put on the Jamaican vest, huge expectation.

When she put her foot down, she got up to Bianca Williams quite quickly

and held it. A good, solid performance. From Bianca Williams,

it was good to see, that is a massive confidence boost. That is

really good to see. Kerron Stewart in the middle of the screen, when

you talk about technique, she is always nice and relaxed, a rangy

runner. It is nice to see. They are all happy to tick the boxes of

qualification. Yes, really good and relaxed, a big confidence booster

for Bianca Williams, alongside Kerron Stewart.
