BBC One: Day 4: 19:10-22:05

:00:00. > 3:59:59sure she does not get too excited. The final of the 50 metres

:00:00. > :00:07.freestyle. Fran Halsall bearer. Some bigger Australians around her. --

:00:08. > :00:15.there. She has had a good start. Fast but powerful. There is Cate

:00:16. > :00:20.Campbell. But it looks like Fran Halsall. She is going well. It will

:00:21. > :00:28.be tight. She might have it. Yes, she does! 23.96. Fran Halsall is the

:00:29. > :00:39.Commonwealth champion. A massive shock. That is brilliant.

:00:40. > :00:45.Fantastic. She matched Cate Campbell stroke for stroke. It will not be

:00:46. > :00:50.expected by the Campbell sisters. She said in an interview, Bronte

:00:51. > :00:57.Campbell, called her a pocket rocket. She has done a job on them

:00:58. > :01:02.here. It was a fingertip touch, but it was the difference between silver

:01:03. > :01:10.and gold. Fran Halsall is a Commonwealth champion. She is the

:01:11. > :01:18.hot favourite in the 50 fly. Her final is just after nine o'clock.

:01:19. > :01:22.Just before that, we have Chris Walker-Hebborn and Liam Tancock in

:01:23. > :01:27.the 50 meter backstroke final. Liam Tancock is the defending champion.

:01:28. > :01:35.He is the world record-holder. That was done in the rubber suit. The

:01:36. > :01:41.suits have changed. It is cool bodysuits back to shorts. Chris

:01:42. > :01:48.Walker-Hebborn has the confidence, nothing to lose. This is the and for

:01:49. > :01:57.a Liam Tancock. He has never really lost this event. -- this is the best

:01:58. > :02:06.event for a Liam Tancock. It is going to be tight. Ben Treffers also

:02:07. > :02:12.has a chance. It is going to come down to a fingertip touch again.

:02:13. > :02:18.Chris Walker-Hebborn has the advantage of being amazingly tall,

:02:19. > :02:24.so when he stretches back, it is a long reach. All those boys are quite

:02:25. > :02:28.big, especially in the sprinting world. They all seem to be long and

:02:29. > :02:33.lame compared to the rest of the events, but Chris Walker-Hebborn

:02:34. > :02:39.said yesterday that he had something up his sleeve for the final. I do

:02:40. > :02:47.not know if we will see that, but I certainly hope so. I have had lots

:02:48. > :02:56.of questions asking why England are swimming in Bray caps, there are

:02:57. > :03:02.hard to identify? -- grey. Wales are in white and red. So many countries

:03:03. > :03:08.have similar colours, I think that is their way of identifying

:03:09. > :03:25.themselves. It would make it easier if you had the fly. -- flag. It

:03:26. > :03:38.cannot be too big. The other gold medal hope, but the fastest

:03:39. > :03:54.qualifier, is 79-macro. She has had a great week -- Matt Siobhan Marie

:03:55. > :04:00.O'Connor. She is up against Al Smith, the defending champion, that

:04:01. > :04:08.is difficult. It will be a great final -- Alicia Coutts. You can see

:04:09. > :04:17.the countdown going on. There is the start list by the first of our

:04:18. > :04:23.finals. -- for the first. So Hilary Caldwell is the fastest qualifier.

:04:24. > :04:31.She was a bronze medallist at the World Championships. Maddie Wilson

:04:32. > :04:36.is the Commonwealth record-holder. It would be great to see Elizabeth

:04:37. > :04:56.Simmons back on the medal podium. It has been a while. -- Elizabeth

:04:57. > :05:05.Simmonds. It would be nice to see her on the podium. The crowd are

:05:06. > :05:16.getting whipped up. First out is Lauren Quigley. She is from England.

:05:17. > :05:23.Sinead Russell, the third Canadian in the final. Seven that the World

:05:24. > :05:43.Championships. The track was seven at the World Championships. 31-macro

:05:44. > :06:06.from Canada. -- Matt three. Here is Maddie Wilson. -- Madi Wilson. Here

:06:07. > :06:14.is Belinda Hocking. She is on paper it the fastest. The Canadian is

:06:15. > :06:35.vast. That Michael is the fastest -- fast. -- is the fastest. The fastest

:06:36. > :06:45.qualifier for this final. There is Hilary Caldwell. The World

:06:46. > :06:58.Championship bronze medallist. There is Hilary Caldwell. Elizabeth

:06:59. > :07:03.Simmonds is in Lane 5. I am looking forward to this, it is wide open. We

:07:04. > :07:06.have not yet forward to this, it is wide open. We

:07:07. > :07:26.have seen these ladies firing on the backstroke. We have not seen them

:07:27. > :07:37.really open up yet. So, the final of the backstroke is underway. A good

:07:38. > :07:48.start from Lauren Quigley. Another good start from 24. -- Emily

:07:49. > :07:55.Seebohm. Emily Seebohm will be a threat. Perry Caldwell will come

:07:56. > :08:08.back quickly, as does Elizabeth Simmonds. -- Hillary called well. --

:08:09. > :08:13.Hilary Caldwell. Right at the top, Sinead Russell was in the final of

:08:14. > :08:20.the Olympics and the World Championships. She is no slouch and

:08:21. > :08:27.clearly her tactic to get on the outside and breakaway early, she

:08:28. > :08:32.should be over first. Not quite, it looks like it was Hilary Caldwell in

:08:33. > :08:38.the centre. That was a great turn. She looked the best this morning.

:08:39. > :08:42.She will really put the pressure on to break quite a few of the field.

:08:43. > :08:55.With the Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace is struggling to hold on. Belinda

:08:56. > :09:10.Hocking is coming through. -- Emily Seebohm is struggling to hold on --

:09:11. > :09:14.Madi Wilson. She is starting to come back, Elizabeth Simmonds. It looks

:09:15. > :09:21.like Belinda Hocking is starting to swim away. She is looking good.

:09:22. > :09:24.Belinda Hocking of Australia, a silver medallist at the World

:09:25. > :09:31.Championships is right there. There is a big fight. It might be Emily

:09:32. > :09:35.Seebohm coming through. The gold medal has gone to Australia, the

:09:36. > :09:43.silver medal is to Emily Seebohm and the bronze medal is to Hilary

:09:44. > :09:47.Caldwell from Canada. Elizabeth Simmonds was overtaken into fourth.

:09:48. > :09:58.What a race, brilliant from Belinda Hocking. I thought that's Hilary

:09:59. > :10:08.Caldwell did well but could not live with the pace. She only lost in the

:10:09. > :10:29.last stroke or two. What a difficult race. She pasted very well. --

:10:30. > :10:36.paste. -- paced. Two women over, Belinda Hocking and Hilary Caldwell.

:10:37. > :10:43.How she got through to get that silver medal, brilliant. That is

:10:44. > :10:57.Elizabeth Simmonds going on. Emily Seebohm at the bottom. Two strokes,

:10:58. > :11:05.she was in silver medal position. Quite a few swimmers wearing nose

:11:06. > :11:18.clips. I knew Championship record and a new Commonwealth record for

:11:19. > :11:24.Belinda Hocking -- a new record. Hilary Caldwell got the bronze for

:11:25. > :11:38.Canada. Lauren Quigley swam really well. Not the position you wanted to

:11:39. > :11:39.be in, it is horrible. It was a difficult race. Certainly not quite

:11:40. > :11:44.be in, it is horrible. It was a difficult race. Certainly what I

:11:45. > :11:49.wanted, but it is a step forward from last year. It is difficult not

:11:50. > :11:52.coming away with the medal, but hopefully I will race again in the

:11:53. > :12:01.summer and perhaps move that forward. It was always going to be

:12:02. > :12:08.tough. I am gutted not to win a medal. Perhaps you need time for the

:12:09. > :12:16.changes to work. Yes. We implemented a few changes. It was a short

:12:17. > :12:22.season. I am happier with where I am now on paper and helpfully, we can

:12:23. > :12:25.sit down in the summer and disgusted and go forward.

:12:26. > :12:34.now on paper and helpfully, we can sit down in the -- discuss it. There

:12:35. > :12:47.is James Disney-May. He swam very well in the relay for team England,

:12:48. > :12:56.certainly in the heats. There is Yuri Kisil. There is Dylan Carter

:12:57. > :13:02.going in Lane 7. Then we have Adam Brown, the new Father, what a

:13:03. > :13:06.sacrifice he has made to be. Hoping that his wife would deliver on time,

:13:07. > :13:22.after the Commonwealth Games, but she did it before. He could be the

:13:23. > :13:27.other one. You cannot see beyond the world number one and the world

:13:28. > :13:43.number two this year. This is one of the Australian winners on the relay.

:13:44. > :13:47.Here is the first of the big two. He said he was going to break the world

:13:48. > :13:58.record at the Australian trials and he did not but he was defeated.

:13:59. > :14:06.James Magnusson. A world champion in 2013. World ranked number one this

:14:07. > :14:11.year. Olympic silver medallist. Lane five, McAvoy. I know what you are

:14:12. > :14:20.going to do, you are asking me who is going to win! I want him to win,

:14:21. > :14:31.Magnusson. He is the best in the world and has been for four years.

:14:32. > :14:34.World champion in 2013 but did not quite pull it off in 2012. McAvoy,

:14:35. > :14:46.the young pretender. And a good start, very good start

:14:47. > :14:50.indeed from Lane number five. Cameron McAvoy. They better start

:14:51. > :14:57.than it was for Magnussen. This is the first time these freestylers

:14:58. > :15:00.have been going and it looks like McAvoy has started really well. Had

:15:01. > :15:13.Brown at the top. Going really nicely. -- Adam Brown at the top.

:15:14. > :15:17.McAvoy is in the lead. A brilliant first 50 by McAvoy. Brown, third

:15:18. > :15:23.place. This is fascinating because the Australian art those beaten to

:15:24. > :15:29.the left. -- are both feet into the left. Overtaking James Magnussen. He

:15:30. > :15:33.is going to win it, he does. The world champion becomes the

:15:34. > :15:42.Commonwealth champion. Magnussen of Australia. 48.11. Very good indeed.

:15:43. > :15:48.Magnussen wins it. McAvoy gets silver. And I am afraid to tell you

:15:49. > :15:55.that it is Australia, one to three and there they are. Unless you are

:15:56. > :16:01.an Aussie, if you are an Aussie, they will be pretty excited right

:16:02. > :16:06.now. Well, they have dominated. It is great to see Magnussen take that

:16:07. > :16:11.title. He has headed the world rankings every year since 2011. We

:16:12. > :16:16.talked about it a lot. He has been given a hard for being

:16:17. > :16:19.overconfident. Confidence bordering arrogance but he has turned that

:16:20. > :16:24.down a little bit and realised that you cannot be the alpha male

:16:25. > :16:30.forever. In his own words, he was talking about a bit of humility. He

:16:31. > :16:37.knew that McAvoy had taken the lead on the 50 and worked very hard. Both

:16:38. > :16:41.of them in a line and as you said, Magnussen going towards McAvoy.

:16:42. > :16:50.Maybe a slight advantage. We can see that he got it. In the end it was

:16:51. > :17:00.not actually that close. About 23 out of 100, something like that?

:17:01. > :17:04.Magnussen with his hat off already. All of them are massive guys. Maybe

:17:05. > :17:09.with the exception of McAvoy. Slightly more slight physique. Here

:17:10. > :17:13.he is, the world champion and now the Commonwealth champion with the

:17:14. > :17:19.freestyle. The fastest man in the world in the 100 freestyle.

:17:20. > :17:24.Confirmed on the 100 metres freestyle of the Commonwealth Games.

:17:25. > :17:35.The champion, Magnussen of Australia. It is an Australia 123.

:17:36. > :17:40.-- 1-2-3. STUDIO: He came to the Olympic Games, Magnussen as the big

:17:41. > :17:45.I am. And did not win a medal. He put himself up here himself. And he

:17:46. > :17:49.put so much pressure on himself. Since coming back from the games he

:17:50. > :17:52.has had a lot of problems dealing with the fanfare and all the rest of

:17:53. > :17:58.it. I would not say problems but pressure back home. He has calmed

:17:59. > :18:01.down and he came out of the blocks. Mr chirpy seemed very relaxed. And I

:18:02. > :18:08.thought Cameron was going to take him. But he was playing with him,

:18:09. > :18:13.Magnussen. Not as in not trying but he had it in the bag. They will go

:18:14. > :18:17.up against the Americans back on home soil in Australia in one month.

:18:18. > :18:21.They have got the sprinting and they will go up against the Americans and

:18:22. > :18:28.when they get back home... Five medals frost trailer. It makes you

:18:29. > :18:34.realise -- five medals for Australia and it makes you realise how quiet

:18:35. > :18:41.they have been up until this stage. We hope it will not be like this for

:18:42. > :18:46.the rest of the night! They are very strong. Adam Brown went out a little

:18:47. > :18:51.bit too hard and he could not come back to the rest of the field. We

:18:52. > :18:58.have got the semifinals and final still to come but for now, back to

:18:59. > :19:06.Gary. We will be back at people very small -- shortly. The last event is

:19:07. > :19:12.the men's keirin in the cycling. The one with the bloke on the bike. You

:19:13. > :19:16.know. We can describe the action. From Malaysia, Peter Lewis, from

:19:17. > :19:22.Australia, Shane Perkins, Australia. Sam Webster, New Zealand. Eddie

:19:23. > :19:38.Dawkins, New Zealand. And Matthew Blake from Australia. Three Aussies.

:19:39. > :19:53.A couple of Kiwis. How much will team tactics play a part? Will Awang

:19:54. > :20:00.get away from these riders? He thought he had gold a couple of

:20:01. > :20:05.years ago but it was not to be. As the bike goes past, he is on the

:20:06. > :20:12.wheel, then it is Webster. Then Peter Lewis. Lewis with a big wide

:20:13. > :20:17.white striped damn his hat. Awang is fourth.

:20:18. > :20:25.Stripe on the downside of his hat. Six lambs left in this keirin final.

:20:26. > :20:32.The last rays of the track programme. -- six laps left. Last

:20:33. > :20:46.race. Webster is following his wheel.

:20:47. > :20:52.Then, Lewis. Awang. The winner of that semifinal with a wheelie.

:20:53. > :20:56.Perkins, a champion three years ago. Dawkins holding off a little bit at

:20:57. > :21:01.the back. We have seen he has got great form at the moment. Three laps

:21:02. > :21:08.left. The motorbike will come off. Going into the back straight here.

:21:09. > :21:12.What a race this will be. A bit of bumping and barging. Getting muscled

:21:13. > :21:19.out by Lewis. Dawkins up to the front and try to take control. Awang

:21:20. > :21:23.inside. Nip it in front of Lewis. Perkins bringing up the rear.

:21:24. > :21:26.Webster, fifth at the moment. They will take it next time round.

:21:27. > :21:33.Dawkins is trying to win it from the front. Look on the outside. Webster

:21:34. > :21:39.on the outside. Through the middle, he has got his front wheel in front.

:21:40. > :21:45.It will be Webster battling it out. Awang on the inside. It is so close.

:21:46. > :21:50.Right on the line. The 21 euros has taken it from Australia, Matthew

:21:51. > :21:56.Blake sir. Sam Webster gets a medal to go with the gold medals he has

:21:57. > :22:01.one already. A photo finish, Awang claiming the bronze. What a finish

:22:02. > :22:06.that was. That is how close it was. Matthew glades are just getting in

:22:07. > :22:11.front. Webster, second place. Awang third. And Perkins, the former

:22:12. > :22:15.champion in fourth place. He broke the Commonwealth Games record in

:22:16. > :22:19.qualifying, Matthew glades. Then went out in the quarterfinals but a

:22:20. > :22:24.gold medal in the end anyway. -- Matthew. They do not get much closer

:22:25. > :22:30.than that. That was an incredible half final lap. Awang almost did it.

:22:31. > :22:37.He just got a bit boxed in. Just got out of way will stop picking up the

:22:38. > :22:41.bronze medal. It was that man again, proving that he had the speed. He

:22:42. > :22:47.could see him on the inside. Waiting for a gap to open up. Down the back

:22:48. > :23:01.straight. Matthew glades. -- Matthew. Running out of distance.

:23:02. > :23:05.Australia all the way up the home straight. Webster not able to make

:23:06. > :23:14.it. Looked at the last minute and you could feel him coming up the

:23:15. > :23:17.inside. No real wheelie by Awang, not surprising with that close

:23:18. > :23:28.contact. That was a tremendous final. Magnussen -- Glaetzer winning

:23:29. > :23:35.it by half a wheel. Just missing out there on a hat-trick of gold medals.

:23:36. > :23:40.This man. That was a good way to bring down the curtain on the track

:23:41. > :23:43.programme. We have had four days of excellent racing and it is hard to

:23:44. > :23:49.pick out a highlight with so many good races. The para- cycling has

:23:50. > :23:54.been popular as well. Bring back the tandems. We want the tandems in the

:23:55. > :24:04.Olympics. We have enjoyed that and a couple of great moment for Scotland.

:24:05. > :24:07.Delight for Glaetzer. Australia have now got seven golds in the track

:24:08. > :24:12.cycling and they have topped that leaderboard. We will be joined later

:24:13. > :24:17.by Sir Chris hoy. We look forward to that. That is the end of the track

:24:18. > :24:23.cycling. A lot of other sports going on and this is how you can keep

:25:03. > :25:05.day. It is fantastic for highlights. You can watch the

:25:06. > :25:09.marathon in highlight form. It is really good and the net all.

:25:10. > :25:16.Whatever you have missed. -- netball. These are all of your

:25:17. > :25:25.options now. Rugby sevens. The lawn bowls. Brilliant. And a live feed.

:25:26. > :25:34.And the highlights as well. Look where it says live coverage. The

:25:35. > :25:38.highlights. Really good. I have got a couple of random questions. Tom

:25:39. > :25:44.Gooch has said that which you say that 22 is too old to join a

:25:45. > :25:49.swimming club? Definitely not. It is huge now. A lot of people join and

:25:50. > :25:54.go into trials. They want to get fit and active. It is never too late.

:25:55. > :26:00.Why is it called freestyle when it is actually front crawl? It is

:26:01. > :26:03.butterfly, backstroke and breast stroke in front crawl. It is the

:26:04. > :26:08.strip in which everybody is the fastest and you know that already. I

:26:09. > :26:15.am letting you answer. It is a genuine question from somebody

:26:16. > :26:20.watching. If you could devise a stroke, and I think that there is

:26:21. > :26:25.one practised, an East German swimmer many moons ago, freestyle

:26:26. > :26:30.arms and the butterfly kick. You know how fast it is, the butterfly

:26:31. > :26:36.movement? With freestyle arms it is very difficult. If that's too

:26:37. > :26:44.difficult? I think we will have that in future. You should get into

:26:45. > :26:56.coaching. You really should. I think Mark should demonstrate. How good is

:26:57. > :27:06.that? Butter/? OK, I think that is very good. Questions coming in. We

:27:07. > :27:11.are at BBC Glasgow, 2014. Some people have asked about the

:27:12. > :27:15.temperature of the pool. 26 degrees and it stays the same throughout. It

:27:16. > :27:23.cannot be 20 on the first night and 28 and 26. 26 degrees the whole

:27:24. > :27:27.time. A normal Paul Wood be over 30. Over 30, when the public go in

:27:28. > :27:37.there, they do not jump up and down like we do. They get cold otherwise.

:27:38. > :27:40.By the way, this is the website on social media. Fran Halsall, I was

:27:41. > :27:46.reading up on her this morning because she is in action. She said

:27:47. > :27:49.and I do not know if this is a joke, she said that when that medal

:27:50. > :27:56.ceremony was delayed, she came back up and was a bit cold because her

:27:57. > :28:04.heated pants were not working. You know when he ripped those things off

:28:05. > :28:09.earlier? They are heated pants. We do not need them any more. I have

:28:10. > :28:14.not heard of that before and we had not been told. That is what they

:28:15. > :28:20.are. There is obviously some adhesive material. Fran Halsall is

:28:21. > :28:25.going to come out. This is the semifinal. Have a close look for her

:28:26. > :28:31.on lane five and see if you can spot the special heated pants. We will

:28:32. > :28:33.get Sharon on the case and investigate. Back to Adrian and

:28:34. > :28:57.Andy. been introduced. She said she had

:28:58. > :29:08.nothing to lose and was going to go for it. Amy Smith as well. They are

:29:09. > :29:14.swimming well. There is the contender from New Zealand. Fourth

:29:15. > :29:21.fastest qualifier from the semifinal. The two swimmers in the

:29:22. > :29:34.centre have come through. There is the Canadian. Fran Halsall. I think

:29:35. > :29:48.she has matured. She was 24 years old. The crowd are giving lots of

:29:49. > :29:59.support. Emma McKeon has had a great meet so far. This is a sweet spot

:30:00. > :30:10.for her and the question is whether Fran Halsall can extend it. She was

:30:11. > :30:38.also in the free relay which broke the world record. A special filling

:30:39. > :30:44.a must of been stop the first of the two semi-finals of the freestyle.

:30:45. > :30:49.Emma McKeon own, fastest seed, a decent start, but Fran Halsall with

:30:50. > :30:52.her. She looks pedestrian and comfortable compared to

:30:53. > :30:59.her. She looks pedestrian and said on the freestyle. Two length

:31:00. > :31:04.and when you get up to the 52nd mark, it is not really a sprint. You

:31:05. > :31:10.have to save a little bit. Emma McKeon own is staying deeper than

:31:11. > :31:15.Fran Halsall. Fran Halsall had the better start. Emma McKeon very

:31:16. > :31:23.strong. Her stroke grade is very quick. Fran Halsall is not going as

:31:24. > :31:31.fast as she could. This is good. Emma McKeon will be a threat will

:31:32. > :31:41.stop Emma McKeon wins it. Fran Halsall is seconds. Fran Halsall the

:31:42. > :31:46.butterfly final later. I am sure she did not push it as bad as she needed

:31:47. > :31:55.to -- Fran Halsall has the butterfly final. Her explosion off the turn,

:31:56. > :32:01.the first three strokes, very deep. The first three strokes, really

:32:02. > :32:07.amazing. One two, three, really strong. It set up the second 50. It

:32:08. > :32:12.was a good victory for Emma McKeon own. I think Fran Halsall was

:32:13. > :32:16.thinking about the next event, because the job has been done for

:32:17. > :32:24.her. I think Emma McKeon was going for that. Fran Halsall got enough.

:32:25. > :32:33.Amy Smith, she is in fourth place. That should be OK. She is a bright

:32:34. > :32:46.young talent, Emma McKeon. Emma McKeon wins the first semifinal of

:32:47. > :32:56.the 100 metres freestyle. It is the fastest eight. There is a decent

:32:57. > :33:01.second semifinal with the two Campbell sisters and there. There is

:33:02. > :33:04.the line-up for the second semifinal. Look at that, Cate

:33:05. > :33:10.Campbell in Lane 4, the fastest in the world this year in the freestyle

:33:11. > :33:16.and her sister right next to her, silver and bronze on the 50 metres

:33:17. > :33:19.freestyle. Fran Halsall took the gold. That was as a prize for that

:33:20. > :33:34.family. They will be hoping to reassert themselves. I am seeing an

:33:35. > :33:43.Aussie victory, possibly. Erin Gallagher goes in Lane 1 in the

:33:44. > :33:51.second semifinal. In seven, Rebecca Turner, what a great semifinal she

:33:52. > :33:55.has. Interesting with the Campbell sisters in the centre, Cate Campbell

:33:56. > :34:00.as the Commonwealth well but -- record and broad deep Campbell has

:34:01. > :34:12.the Commonwealth Games record -- Bronte Campbell. The Commonwealth

:34:13. > :34:17.record can be set in any race. Bronte Campbell swam faster than her

:34:18. > :34:22.sister. She said the Commonwealth Games record before the 100 free.

:34:23. > :34:28.Cate Campbell swam faster in the heat but did not break the Games

:34:29. > :34:37.record. If you're not confuse, you will be soon. I thought I understood

:34:38. > :34:42.it, but maybe not -- confused. Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace is fourth

:34:43. > :34:51.on the freestyle. I do not think the Bahamas have won and medal on -- in

:34:52. > :35:19.this involved. Is Bronte Campbell. -- in the swimming pool -- here is

:35:20. > :35:23.Bronte Campbell. It is a fierce rivalry between these two sisters.

:35:24. > :35:40.Friendship left behind when they get into the blocks. It must be a

:35:41. > :35:48.nightmare to have your sister with you. Imagine Alistair Brownlee and

:35:49. > :36:03.Jonny Brownlee. The same sort of Boeing. -- the same sort of thing.

:36:04. > :36:11.Cate Campbell going fast. Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace swims in the US,

:36:12. > :36:18.really good first 50 metres. I love the stroke of Cate Campbell. Look at

:36:19. > :36:23.the stroke. Most people go blasting off and she is lovely and long and

:36:24. > :36:32.strong and powerful. Look at that! This looks really comfortable. Cate

:36:33. > :36:40.Campbell WinZip comfortably. 53.19 -- wins it. That looked really easy.

:36:41. > :36:47.It did. You can only do that if you know how to apply the power. What is

:36:48. > :36:53.happening there, the reason she is not spinning the water is because

:36:54. > :37:00.she is more focused on holding the water, pulling herself through it.

:37:01. > :37:06.That is a mistake a lot of swimmers make. They think it is about getting

:37:07. > :37:10.your arms around quickly, but it is about holding the water. You need to

:37:11. > :37:21.get hold of it and polar body pastor. The application of that

:37:22. > :37:30.power is important... -- pull your body has to that. It gives her the

:37:31. > :37:39.chance to be more powerful. Campbell is not breathing hard. She has a

:37:40. > :37:46.sneaky look around and then looks at the scoreboard. The time is really

:37:47. > :37:55.impressive. If that was as easy as it looked, it looked wonderful. Cate

:37:56. > :38:00.Campbell winning the second semifinal of the women's freestyle.

:38:01. > :38:07.Her sister is second. Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace third. I think

:38:08. > :38:18.the top five will go through. In which case, Amy Smith will be out.

:38:19. > :38:23.She is. Camel goals in fastest -- Campbell goals in fastest. -- goes

:38:24. > :38:40.in fastest. The first semifinal of the 50m

:38:41. > :38:53.breaststroke. The world-record holder straight in will stop a

:38:54. > :39:05.surprise, Cameron there. -- the world record holder straight in. A

:39:06. > :39:17.surprise there. Cameron does not like to be beaten. He is a tough

:39:18. > :39:30.person, the South African. His team-mate, Bradley Handley is in

:39:31. > :39:37.line -- Lane 7. -- Bradley will stop Robert Holderness, the Welsh

:39:38. > :39:59.record-holder came eighth in Delhi. -- Bradley. Robert Holderness. There

:40:00. > :40:09.is Glen Synders. This guy is poetry in motion when he gets going, there

:40:10. > :40:14.is Cameron, the world-record holder. Mark Tully from Scotland getting a

:40:15. > :40:37.massive reception. He was second at the Scottish Championships. What a

:40:38. > :40:43.great qualification if Sejwal, from India gets into the finals. Michael

:40:44. > :40:50.Dawson was 10th in Delhi, he is from Northern Ireland. This is going to

:40:51. > :40:53.be quite interesting, because the second semifinal is stacked. I would

:40:54. > :41:00.suggest they need to get on with it. There is no holding back. No holding

:41:01. > :41:27.back, but apply the power appropriately. Terence, focused, --

:41:28. > :41:32.temps. -- temps. A very quick start. The first semifinal of the men has

:41:33. > :41:36.macro 50m breaststroke and what a start from Cameron van der Brugh. He

:41:37. > :41:43.is the world record holder. That start will help so much. He has got

:41:44. > :41:52.half a metre off the start, coming back is Mark Tully. He looks very

:41:53. > :42:07.good. Glen cinders is going well. -- Glenn Snyder is going well. That is

:42:08. > :42:12.very good. That was quick. That was very impressive. A fantastic start.

:42:13. > :42:18.He comes out of the water really well, there is a sneaky suspicion he

:42:19. > :42:23.does a little kick, but no one can pin it on him. If I could bottle

:42:24. > :42:28.what he does at a dive, it would be great. That is interesting if you

:42:29. > :42:39.are learning new techniques for diving. He held it all the way,

:42:40. > :42:44.really good application of power. Cameron van der Brugh does not want

:42:45. > :42:55.to lose his signature event. Mark Tully went well for Scotland. That

:42:56. > :43:07.is just outside the record set by Ross Murdoch. This very difficult,

:43:08. > :43:32.just to make the Scottish team. The results, a new Commonwealth

:43:33. > :43:37.Games record. I think Sharon... A fantastic swim. The start was hugely

:43:38. > :43:44.important. Gracious in the 100 but you will not give up this easily?

:43:45. > :43:50.The 100 was a disappointment. But, I think I have to come out and give

:43:51. > :43:55.the younger guys a shock for their money. They cannot have it their own

:43:56. > :44:06.way. How long do you work on a start that good? I have been neglecting

:44:07. > :44:12.the 50. Hopefully, the previous years, the younger days practising,

:44:13. > :44:19.it is playing back into my hand. Neglecting, but just off the world

:44:20. > :44:24.record. The world record is always a bonus. It did not happen tonight.

:44:25. > :44:32.The important thing is the win. Maybe one of the boys will break the

:44:33. > :44:36.record now. We will see. Did you hear that, maybe one of the boys

:44:37. > :44:41.will break the record now? Does he want them to break it? He is clearly

:44:42. > :44:50.worried about the guys. Adam Peaty looks so good on the breaststroke.

:44:51. > :45:03.And next to him in five, the great Ross Murdoch. Home country interest.

:45:04. > :45:14.James Wilby will be out there, here ears. He made finals at the 100 and

:45:15. > :45:30.200 breaststroke. He has quietly got on with his job. He has done well.

:45:31. > :45:40.Team Scotland having a cracking meet and the new British record holder.

:45:41. > :45:59.Check him out. You have to get pumped up for the 50s. You have to

:46:00. > :46:04.bet on Adam Peaty. Christian Sprenger has not had a good

:46:05. > :46:16.competition. He has been left behind by the British. Can Richard Funk in

:46:17. > :46:27.Lane 2? That is a great question. Ian Black has done really well. What

:46:28. > :46:31.a privilege it with the two swim it. Let us see if he can do another

:46:32. > :46:40.lifetime best. In the centre, Christian Sprenger of Australia.

:46:41. > :46:46.There he is. Adam Peaty, he is a big man. I hope he had some sleep this

:46:47. > :47:00.afternoon. Going to bed at 3am this morning. Ross Murdoch looking, now,

:47:01. > :47:08.that is good. It is all right walking out hyped up, but calmed

:47:09. > :47:13.down now. The second semi final. We are getting quite excited about

:47:14. > :47:18.this. It is actually only a semifinal. A good start in the

:47:19. > :47:23.centre, probably the best from Christian Sprenger of Australia.

:47:24. > :47:25.Ross Murdoch going well in the blue hats. Adam Peaty normally comes back

:47:26. > :47:39.in the second half. Christian Sprenger looks strong. Adam Peaty is

:47:40. > :47:44.coming back and he gets it. 2-macro swimmers supped 27 going into the

:47:45. > :47:48.final. The fastest being the world record holder, Cameron van der

:47:49. > :47:56.Burgh. And that is a new British record for Adam Peaty. Ross Murdoch

:47:57. > :48:02.was third. Joe Welstead, of Scotland, in full. I believe that

:48:03. > :48:10.all four of them will be in the final. Adam Peaty doing a great

:48:11. > :48:16.job. His reaction time, 0.56, the best of the field. I think he was

:48:17. > :48:20.slipping water a little bit. I hate to advise a great breaststroke

:48:21. > :48:27.swimmer on what to do but the first five metres, it looked like he was

:48:28. > :48:36.more excited than he was in the 100. A little bit excited. So? I think he

:48:37. > :48:42.can go quicker. He needs to applied in the first to 20 metres. I hope

:48:43. > :48:48.they have not written off Christian Sprenger. He had a bad finish. He

:48:49. > :48:55.should not be finishing like that. Adam Peaty, he is not a shoo-in. It

:48:56. > :49:06.is going to be a great final. Somebody asked him what Mel had said

:49:07. > :49:13.after he had won. She said there is no point in squandering it all for a

:49:14. > :49:22.win. He certainly is not. A new British record for Adam Peaty to win

:49:23. > :49:28.the second semifinal. I think Richard Funk has just sneaked in.

:49:29. > :49:36.Sub 28 seconds to make it. We will check. Cameron van der Burgh fastest

:49:37. > :49:38.into the final. Three Scots men in it. That is going to be a great

:49:39. > :49:46.final. it. That is going to be a great

:49:47. > :49:49.Another fantastic swim. I spoke to Cameron and he's said one of the

:49:50. > :49:57.guys can break the world record tonight. He knows you are coming. It

:49:58. > :50:01.is getting competitive now. We know each other inside out. It is getting

:50:02. > :50:06.competitive, but it is good at the same time, pushing breast right

:50:07. > :50:10.forward. It is great. Important to hang onto the water because it is

:50:11. > :50:15.incredible splash and dash and come down from the 200 metres. It is a

:50:16. > :50:19.little bit different from the 200, when you try to keep the stroke

:50:20. > :50:24.along and keep relaxed. This is about getting to the other end as

:50:25. > :50:30.quick as you can, splash and dash. If you slip a stroke, that is your

:50:31. > :50:37.race over. How much do you enjoy the noise? UK Minnesota differently. I

:50:38. > :50:44.am loving the ground. They are making a great noise. It is what

:50:45. > :50:49.everybody from the Scotland team is saying, the crowd are doing a

:50:50. > :50:54.fantastic job. If you saw the semifinals and are wondering when it

:50:55. > :51:01.is, 8:49pm tomorrow evening. Three Scots in it. When you come back, we

:51:02. > :51:07.will have the final of the women's 200 metres individual medley. That

:51:08. > :51:14.features Hannah Miley and Aimee Willmott. Gary.

:51:15. > :51:19.More splash and dash to come. And now it is from splash to bash. One

:51:20. > :51:22.of the hottest tickets of the games is the rugby sevens. The medal

:51:23. > :51:43.matches are later. This is what happened in the semifinals.

:51:44. > :51:57.The semifinal of the Commonwealth Games. Australia on the left, New

:51:58. > :52:07.Zealand on the right. He took a little step and that was a seriously

:52:08. > :52:13.important tackle. It has taken less than 60 seconds to puncture the

:52:14. > :52:19.golden defence. The defence at sixes and sevens. They stretch them left

:52:20. > :52:35.and right. Quality play in the breakdown. Very accurate play by New

:52:36. > :52:41.Zealand. They will be delighted. Ed Jenkins, the skipper, looking to get

:52:42. > :52:46.the ball away as quickly as possible and that was not as precise as it

:52:47. > :52:51.might have been but Jesse Parahi you make something out of nothing. He

:52:52. > :52:53.trundles in under the posts and Australia with what is pretty much

:52:54. > :53:12.their first attack of the semifinal. DJ Forbes diving over the top and

:53:13. > :53:24.clearing our bodies. The structure in this New Zealand attack. DJ

:53:25. > :53:37.Forbes will press the reset button. Tim Mikkelson with the move inside

:53:38. > :53:50.and he was aware of where he was. Australia need to circulate the

:53:51. > :53:57.players. That was absolutely the right moment. Perfect

:53:58. > :54:02.decision-making by New Zealand. Australia have to think about

:54:03. > :54:13.turnover. Tackle, reload, and try to get over the top of the ball. DJ

:54:14. > :54:17.Forbes rarely does anything wrong. Gillies Kaka off in search of the

:54:18. > :54:24.try that would finish it. What a finish. That might be the final. I

:54:25. > :54:32.think we will have to use the video review system. I felt he controlled

:54:33. > :54:43.his body near perfectly. It was an outstanding finish by Scott Curry.

:54:44. > :54:50.This is too big a try not to be absolutely certain. I agree. I

:54:51. > :55:09.thought he had great control of his body. No messing around. He looks at

:55:10. > :55:11.it. It is a try. It is the try that secures the final. Scott Curry knows

:55:12. > :55:39.it. The second semifinal will be between

:55:40. > :55:51.Samoa and South Africa. Lolo Lui. Samoa breaking through. Samoa

:55:52. > :55:57.Toloa. It is his eighth try of the weekend. The South African defence

:55:58. > :56:05.has been splintered. Really taking time to set up the set play. They

:56:06. > :56:08.have a lot of movement. Four players and movement. Usually Cecil Afrika

:56:09. > :56:22.can do something and picked the right option. A wonderful sevens try

:56:23. > :56:24.from Cornal Hendricks. It was beautifully crafted. Absolute

:56:25. > :56:35.precision. From the training field to the paying field. Cornal

:56:36. > :56:39.Hendricks will have to play scrum-half. Samoa kick the ball out.

:56:40. > :56:58.Oh, dear, it is going to be yellow. Cornal Hendricks did very well. I

:56:59. > :57:03.thought he should have Cornal Hendricks did very well. I

:57:04. > :57:16.thought he should moved the ball but it means that South Africa are out

:57:17. > :57:22.to a lead. Look at that step and go. Cornal Hendricks up to the halfway

:57:23. > :57:27.line. He gets the support from Francis Horne. And a lovely switch

:57:28. > :57:37.by Cornal Hendricks. Stretching the Samoan defence. Christopher Dry runs

:57:38. > :57:42.towards the posts. We have seen some scintillating tries and that has

:57:43. > :57:51.been one of the best today. Samoa, a great off-load. The tackle by Kyle

:57:52. > :57:57.Brown. Look out quick. A great turnover ball. Look at the support.

:57:58. > :58:00.Stand up if you are turnover ball. Look at the support.

:58:01. > :58:06.Stand up if you watching at home, we are watching great play. Cecil

:58:07. > :58:09.Afrika. Always does something special when he is on the pitch.

:58:10. > :58:30.Especially when he comes off the bench.

:58:31. > :58:41.South Africa are playing some great rugby here.

:58:42. > :58:49.here at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, here at Ibrox Stadium.

:58:50. > :58:52.So, the top two ranked teams in the world will compete for the final.

:58:53. > :58:58.Australia versus Samoa for the bronze will be on BBC Three at about

:58:59. > :59:02.9:15pm. And we will show you the match between New Zealand and South

:59:03. > :59:08.Africa here on BBC One just after 9:35 p.m.. Now back to Clare.

:59:09. > :59:16.We have just had the medal ceremony, this three Aussies on the podium for

:59:17. > :59:19.the men's 100m freestyle final. Lots of questions coming in about

:59:20. > :59:23.swimming. Laura Elliott says, what is the secret to getting a swimming

:59:24. > :59:29.hat to stay on? She is asking for her ten-year-old. You will see a lot

:59:30. > :59:34.of people wearing two swimming hats, one is because the bullet hat on top

:59:35. > :59:39.is very smooth. For girls, it rips your hair out a bit, so they put a

:59:40. > :59:46.normal one underneath. We do not normally wash our hair for about a

:59:47. > :59:51.week either! Shelley says, what our nose clips for? They are

:59:52. > :59:56.predominantly used on backstroke. When you are on your back, water

:59:57. > :00:00.goes up your nose. Some people do not wear one and have figured out a

:00:01. > :00:05.technique of breathing so that the water does not go up, but most

:00:06. > :00:11.people wearing nose clip. We love answering your questions on

:00:12. > :00:18.swimming. The next race is the final of the women's Para-sport 100m

:00:19. > :00:20.breaststroke. Marc Woods is in our commentary box, multi-Paralympic

:00:21. > :00:32.champion. Explain more about this category? The letter S stands for

:00:33. > :00:39.swimming, the letter B stands for breast Roque and then nine means

:00:40. > :00:44.level of functionality in the water. The S1 swimmer will have a lot of

:00:45. > :00:52.disabilities. It goes up to S ten for people who are minimally

:00:53. > :00:59.disabled. So these guys are swimming breaststroke in the nine category.

:01:00. > :01:04.They are just parading out for this final. It is the 100m rash stroke --

:01:05. > :01:24.breaststroke. Catherine Downie of Australia goes

:01:25. > :01:32.in lane number two. Two gold medals at the London games. Davies of

:01:33. > :01:37.Scotland is in lane five. I am looking forward to watching her walk

:01:38. > :01:41.out. She had such a fantastic swim this morning. She said she was

:01:42. > :01:49.nervous, but she did not look nervous. For a 13-year-old, she came

:01:50. > :01:59.out, smiled and delivered to qualify second. She is coming out now. 13

:02:00. > :02:03.years of age, the youngest Scottish competitor in Commonwealth Games

:02:04. > :02:16.history, not just in the swimming pool. Sophie Pascoe, fastest

:02:17. > :02:37.qualifier. Commonwealth record holder. I don't think she will get

:02:38. > :02:44.pushed too hard. It is down to Davies in lane five to see she can

:02:45. > :02:48.challenge for a medal. There is only one home nations swimmer here,

:02:49. > :03:01.13-year-old Davies, from the Shetland Islands. She is in lane

:03:02. > :03:21.five. A big ask to get a medal, but she can do it. A decent start for

:03:22. > :03:26.the favourite, Sophie Pascoe. Her stroke is incredible for an amputee

:03:27. > :03:31.with only one leg. It is amazingly symmetric. You can see the power she

:03:32. > :03:37.has generated with her arms. She is compensating for the fact that she

:03:38. > :03:41.is kicking from one side. She is counterbalancing with the stump on

:03:42. > :03:44.her left side. I am not too worried about Erraid Davies being behind at

:03:45. > :03:50.this point, because she came back fastest in the heat. Pascoe over

:03:51. > :04:04.first. Scott for Australia over second. Rivard third. Sophie Pascoe

:04:05. > :04:08.has gone very well. Erraid Davies is starting to come back into medal

:04:09. > :04:13.contention. Wouldn't it be brilliant if the 30-year-old from Scotland

:04:14. > :04:17.could get the medal? She is doing a fantastic job, gradually coming back

:04:18. > :04:21.onto the shoulder of the Canadian. She is looking across to see if she

:04:22. > :04:25.can get the silver. Sophie Pascoe gets the gold for New Zealand, but

:04:26. > :04:38.can we get a medal for Scotland in this women's SB9? That is brilliant.

:04:39. > :04:43.The 13-year-old from the Shetland Islands, in her first Commonwealth

:04:44. > :04:47.Games, the youngest Scottish athlete in Commonwealth Games history,

:04:48. > :04:53.winning a bronze medal in this SB9 100m breaststroke. The gold to New

:04:54. > :04:58.Zealand. That was a fantastic swim. The silver to Australia. 13-year-old

:04:59. > :05:06.Erraid Davies gets a bronze. Utterly brilliant. You can see what it means

:05:07. > :05:09.to Sophie Pascoe as well. There is a woman who has won six Paralympic

:05:10. > :05:16.gold medals. She is one of the most famous swimmers New Zealand have

:05:17. > :05:43.ever had. I would put her alongside the famous gold medallist from the

:05:44. > :05:55.1996 Olympic Games. You see the power that Sophie Pascoe generates.

:05:56. > :06:03.Wonderful slow-mo shots. And Erraid Davies is getting a huge reception

:06:04. > :06:06.from the crowd. When she got out, I have never seen a bigger smile on a

:06:07. > :06:15.human being in my life. Extraordinary. She is so sweet. She

:06:16. > :06:19.saw herself go past bronze medal position, and she looked across to

:06:20. > :06:25.see if she could get silver. I loved that. There was no doubt about the

:06:26. > :06:27.gold model. It has gone to Sophie Pascoe of New Zealand. A wonderful

:06:28. > :06:47.swim. You had the most amazing face. Your

:06:48. > :06:54.smile went from ear to ear. Well done. Yeah, I am really happy! It

:06:55. > :06:58.was a huge PB this morning, and another one tonight. Could you hear

:06:59. > :07:04.the crowd? Kind of, yeah. I heard them in my last 25. I bet Rebecca,

:07:05. > :07:10.Mark and Clare were cheering as loud as everybody else. Did you enjoy

:07:11. > :07:16.your interview this morning? Yeah, I got their autographs as well. Our

:07:17. > :07:21.mum and what you? Yeah, mum and dad are up there. What are you going to

:07:22. > :07:29.do to celebrate later? I don't know! Well, that was extraordinary.

:07:30. > :07:35.Have a lovely time. Well done. What a fantastic performance. Look

:07:36. > :07:45.at these shots. You get a real sense. It is very rare that you see

:07:46. > :07:48.a swimmer this young doing so well. She has not had the chance to

:07:49. > :07:52.compete in any big meets before this. No, she said this morning that

:07:53. > :08:02.her school friends did not know she was here. So they will have switched

:08:03. > :08:05.on the TV and get to see her. CLARE BALDING: we are still trying to work

:08:06. > :08:11.out what has happened. Looking at the time, 1: 26.8, that is half a

:08:12. > :08:16.second quicker than she swam this morning. This morning was a PB. She

:08:17. > :08:23.has bettered it again. She's going to be a star. She was only two

:08:24. > :08:29.seconds away from Sophie Pascoe, who has just done the world record. At

:08:30. > :08:35.13. Couple more years, a bit more strength and training. We move now

:08:36. > :08:41.to the women's 200m individual medley final, the one that features

:08:42. > :08:46.Hannah Miley of England. Here is Andy.

:08:47. > :08:52.So, Aimee Willmott, fourth fastest qualifier for this final silver

:08:53. > :09:00.medal in the 400 medley. She has a good chance of a medal on this 200.

:09:01. > :09:06.Here is the champion she took on the hopes of the nation on night one.

:09:07. > :09:14.She won gold. What a wonderful swim that was. She swam it tactically

:09:15. > :09:18.brilliantly. Alicia Coutts had a dodgy start to the meat in some

:09:19. > :09:32.ways. But this morning, she looked really good. This is the one we have

:09:33. > :09:33.been waiting for for sure for sure Vaughan O'Connor. Great talent, 18

:09:34. > :09:46.years of age. This is not easy to do. I suppose

:09:47. > :09:50.the great news... She was the fastest qualifier for the hundred

:09:51. > :10:01.fly. She swam a lifetime best. So she has done it once before. Fastest

:10:02. > :10:03.in the world so far this year. The home crowd will be screaming their

:10:04. > :10:19.heads off for Hannah Miley. Myleene three for Scotland, O'Connor

:10:20. > :10:22.for England in four, food is frustrating in five. Another

:10:23. > :10:35.fantastic start for O'Connor. Really using that start. She is

:10:36. > :10:38.getting well known for that. Sophie is trying to recover from that

:10:39. > :10:57.illness. Two England swimmers in first and

:10:58. > :11:01.second right now. Coutts and O'Connor do normally swim very

:11:02. > :11:07.similar medley races. The difference has so far been there butterfly. But

:11:08. > :11:13.O'Connor went down so fast on that 50, I hope it was not too fast. I

:11:14. > :11:24.hope it was controlled. This is the halfway turned. Now it is the 50

:11:25. > :11:34.freestyle. Now comes Hannah Miley of Scotland. There was a look from

:11:35. > :11:40.O'Connor to see where Coutts was. Hannah Miley out of shot. A

:11:41. > :11:45.fantastic swim from Sophie Allen at the top. She has been struggling all

:11:46. > :11:51.year, and could produce the swim of her life in the outside lane.

:11:52. > :11:59.O'Connor still leading. The freestyle to come. I can't believe

:12:00. > :12:05.Coutts will catch this one up. O'Connor looks like she's finally

:12:06. > :12:08.going to win gold here. I say finally because she got a silver in

:12:09. > :12:15.the 200 freestyle. She got a silver in the 100 fly, but here, she is

:12:16. > :12:20.miles ahead. Clearwater between her and Coutts of Australia. Look at the

:12:21. > :12:42.time. This is stunning. It is gold to England for O'Connor. A wonderful

:12:43. > :12:50.swim for her. Gold to several Marie O'Connor. The silver to Alicia

:12:51. > :12:58.Coutts. And the Bronze Star Hannah Miley. Aimee Willmott is

:12:59. > :13:10.congratulating her team-mate. Siobhan O'Connor, at the age of 18,

:13:11. > :13:18.a gold, three silvers and a bronze. Siobhan O'Connor starts. First off,

:13:19. > :13:21.brilliant underwater. And just nailed the butterfly. The rest of

:13:22. > :13:29.the field could not do anything about it. We thought Coutts might

:13:30. > :13:33.stay with her. But by the breaststroke, this was over. Hannah

:13:34. > :13:50.Miley, a brilliant rest straight leg. O'Connor, she was a clear

:13:51. > :13:57.winner. Siobhan O'Connor winning by about four metres and winning in a

:13:58. > :14:04.time of 2.08.21, the fastest time in the world this year by over half a

:14:05. > :14:15.second. That is brilliant. Finally, she has won gold. So close on the

:14:16. > :14:21.butterfly. What a stunning swim. Fastest in the world by over half a

:14:22. > :14:34.second. A new Commonwealth Games records to the due champion of the

:14:35. > :14:42.women's 200 metres butterfly. Hannah Miley, adding to her gold medal with

:14:43. > :14:46.a bronze medal. Wonderful. You have a collection of silver and bronzes

:14:47. > :14:54.and now a gold medal. The fastest time in the world this year and a

:14:55. > :15:02.British record. It was so stressful to me. I was coming into it and

:15:03. > :15:05.could see it was going to be hard to get a medal because of the strength

:15:06. > :15:12.with the Australians and the British, and with Hannah, who has

:15:13. > :15:23.been my role model with swimming. Training with you is incredible. It

:15:24. > :15:28.was a good race. Tell me, that was gutsy and strong on the last 50, but

:15:29. > :15:38.why were you swimming 800 freestyle this morning? The main day for me

:15:39. > :15:44.was on the 400. We thought whatever happens after day one I will swim

:15:45. > :15:50.each race and try to make finals. It wasn't the smartest idea to do the

:15:51. > :15:53.800, because it hurt a lot. I do not normally get to race 800 at

:15:54. > :16:04.international level so I thought, why not do it here? Go and enjoy

:16:05. > :16:17.your medal ceremony. Straight into the semifinal of the men's hundred

:16:18. > :16:42.litres butterfly. James Guy, the third fastest qualifier. What a

:16:43. > :17:00.great freestyle he got. Jayden Hadler. He is in Lane 4. He was

:17:01. > :17:09.sixth in Delhi. I wonder if this will be his race. The first

:17:10. > :17:14.semifinal of the men's 100 metres butterfly. Be careful, there is a

:17:15. > :17:22.very big second semifinal to come. It is stacked.

:17:23. > :17:44.The first semifinal. England in lanes three and five. That is James

:17:45. > :17:58.Guy and Adam Barrett. D'orsogna, he has a double. A double used to do.

:17:59. > :18:10.-- you used to do. A fantastic turner from Adam Barrett. Trading

:18:11. > :18:17.with Gibson. That squad is flying. It is his international debut. I am

:18:18. > :18:30.not sure he realises it is adding oughtn't meet! That was a very good

:18:31. > :18:35.swim. -- an important meeting. He is going to go in the centre lane in

:18:36. > :18:44.the final of his first international meet. Some great young sprinters

:18:45. > :18:49.coming out of that programme. It would be great to have a chat with

:18:50. > :18:55.James Gibson to find out what he is doing. He is reticent, he has his

:18:56. > :19:07.secrets! He has learnt from the best in France. And learned in Holland.

:19:08. > :19:17.Gibson turning from a great swimmer into a great coach. James Guy also

:19:18. > :19:24.swam well. 52.78. He should make the final, as well. Winning by a stroke.

:19:25. > :19:35.James Guy with the Black Cats finishing in third. -- black cap.

:19:36. > :19:48.Adam Barrett, of England, a great swim for him. I am sure the first

:19:49. > :19:54.three will get to the final. You said there was something else to

:19:55. > :19:57.come. It was better than the swim in the heat this morning. I thought I

:19:58. > :20:01.would give it more tonight. Hopefully there will be more for the

:20:02. > :20:10.final. The guys are saying Gibson has some secrets. I cannot give away

:20:11. > :20:17.the secrets. That is what is making us swim so fast at the moment. It

:20:18. > :20:25.has been a great meet. Taking on Chad le Clos, which is something. Do

:20:26. > :20:28.you think you can get in the mix? He is fantastic. It will be a tough

:20:29. > :20:40.race but I will give everything and see what I can do. It is going to be

:20:41. > :20:49.fascinating. Grant Halsall, he swam really well, a lifetime best, to

:20:50. > :20:55.make this. Joe Roebuck must set a lifetime best if he is to make the

:20:56. > :21:04.final. At 29, I wonder how many more Commonwealth Games he will have

:21:05. > :21:18.left. Tom Laxton is the Welsh record-holder. Barrett. Can he take

:21:19. > :21:26.on Chad le Clos? There is a great chance of that. Chad le Clos,

:21:27. > :21:39.though, is talked about trying to get under 51 seconds. And he will

:21:40. > :21:48.have to beat this man. He was the Commonwealth Games champion in the

:21:49. > :21:53.50 metres back in Delhi. Chris Wright, a big Australian. Fourth in

:21:54. > :22:07.the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. The fastest qualifier. Chad le Clos of

:22:08. > :22:11.South Africa, the world champion. Nobody will forget when he beat the

:22:12. > :22:18.great Michael Phelps at the Olympics in London to win the gold medal in

:22:19. > :22:21.the 200 fly. One of those moments when we were doing stand-up

:22:22. > :22:29.commentary. We normally sit down. Had to stand up. Chad le Clos,

:22:30. > :22:33.really interesting, taking on the great Michael Phelps. His career has

:22:34. > :22:43.flourished since then. Can he go beneath 51? The second semifinal.

:22:44. > :22:49.Chad le Clos was first up to the surface. It was a decent start. He

:22:50. > :22:55.is a master of doing just enough to get through whatever he is doing.

:22:56. > :23:01.Also, enough to win, which he did on the 200. He chatted to Sharon about

:23:02. > :23:06.that. She was giving him a hard time about looking around. He said he

:23:07. > :23:10.needed to know where he was and he did not want to give away too much.

:23:11. > :23:16.He said he liked being in the middle. He is not looking around

:23:17. > :23:22.just yet. Just having a quick look. He said he wanted to do under 51.

:23:23. > :23:26.Under 52 would win the gold medal. Checking again to the left and the

:23:27. > :23:35.right. Seeing the threat from the right, putting more power on. Chad

:23:36. > :23:43.le Clos wins the second semifinal. 52.10. It means that Adam Barrett

:23:44. > :23:51.will go into the final fastest on his international debut. He will get

:23:52. > :23:55.some sleep tonight. Goodness me. That was a playful semifinal. It is

:23:56. > :24:07.almost like, what's next? Shall we do 1500? 50 breaststroke! He swam

:24:08. > :24:12.well on the South African relay. He is very talented. Checking over to

:24:13. > :24:17.the left, all looking at the camera! He saw empty water on his left. And

:24:18. > :24:23.then towards the right. 50 metres to go, to the left and checking to the

:24:24. > :24:28.right, where the threat is. Again, another look. He gets in and

:24:29. > :24:32.finishes. You can only get away with this if you are Chad le Clos. All

:24:33. > :24:39.you kids at home. The coaches saying, oh no, do not do that. He is

:24:40. > :24:51.the only person I have seen who can do that well. No one else. The

:24:52. > :25:03.efforts Chad le Clos put in was about 75%. Joseph Schooling swimming

:25:04. > :25:22.well to get second. Adam Barrett going in fastest. James Guy made it.

:25:23. > :25:33.Very good. Very interesting. Tom Laxton just missing out. From the

:25:34. > :25:38.James Gibson squad. The next race, 100 metres breaststroke. The first

:25:39. > :25:53.of two semifinals. Ali Atkinson in Lane 4. Two Scots in there. I wonder

:25:54. > :25:58.how Alea Atkinson will do. She had the opportunity to win the 50 metres

:25:59. > :26:04.breaststroke. She rushed is a little bit and then the 200 seem to be too

:26:05. > :26:19.long. Laura Kinsley, what a great opportunity. She carried the baton.

:26:20. > :26:42.Listen to the Glasgow roar. It is becoming something pretty special.

:26:43. > :27:01.Sycerika McMahon has been knocking on the door the whole meet. Pickett.

:27:02. > :27:07.I think it will be a bit too far. She has never really converted. The

:27:08. > :27:22.fastest lifetime best of all these semifinalists. And now, Katie

:27:23. > :27:33.Armitage, who set a lifetime best to qualify. The crowd are wonderful.

:27:34. > :27:40.Atkinson, she is a big, powerful lady, and has a super opportunity to

:27:41. > :27:45.get a decent lane in the final. This distance suits her. On the 100, she

:27:46. > :27:58.can slow down a little and stretch out her stroke. Still based in

:27:59. > :28:07.Florida. She was in Texas and moved to be part of the squad in Florida.

:28:08. > :28:20.The first semifinal of the women's 100 breaststroke.

:28:21. > :28:29.Johnston in one. Closest to us is Laura Kinley from the Isle of Man.

:28:30. > :28:34.Wonderful opportunity for her to be in this semifinal. Very good start

:28:35. > :28:41.from Atkinson. But I would like her to ease back a bit. This might be

:28:42. > :29:01.the race of her life, but for me, tone it down a bit. If she continues

:29:02. > :29:08.at this pace, she could go sub 1.07. She is going for it. The

:29:09. > :29:24.breaststroke as have developed this shorter kick. Still going well. Tera

:29:25. > :29:32.van Beilen of Canada also going well in three. That was very tight for

:29:33. > :29:55.third, fourth and fifth. Atkinson did go sub 1.07. I would

:29:56. > :30:11.not be surprised, but I think she can go quicker. Instead of 100%, go

:30:12. > :30:15.98. Good turn, then a big kick. We have got Sophie Taylor of England in

:30:16. > :30:23.lane four, the fastest on a fire, in the next one. Her best time is only

:30:24. > :30:27.67.08. I say only, but that is slower than this swim, so she will

:30:28. > :30:32.have to step that up. She will be aware of this. You do clock what

:30:33. > :30:44.happens in the race before. You still have to do your own thing.

:30:45. > :30:52.I would love to see a Jamaican win in the swimming pool. That was a

:30:53. > :30:56.great time. I would not be surprised if that is enough to win it, but she

:30:57. > :30:58.has got to do that in the final, something she did not do in the 50m.

:30:59. > :31:13.She ended up coming second. I know you were disappointed with

:31:14. > :31:19.that 50, but that looked fantastic. Thank you! Are we hoping for a gold

:31:20. > :31:23.tomorrow? Yeah, I think it is about time. It would be unusual for a

:31:24. > :31:28.Jamaican to win in the pool. We would all love to see that. Yet, the

:31:29. > :31:35.highest we have ever got was third. So even my race in the 50 was the

:31:36. > :31:43.furthest we have gone. Hello to my aunt, my mum, and cos in. Good luck.

:31:44. > :32:01.There was another silver medal, but it was in the 1930s. Probably well

:32:02. > :32:06.before her grandparents were born. So, Chloe Tutton goes in this second

:32:07. > :32:24.semifinal of the women's 100 breaststroke. Cory Scott, what a

:32:25. > :32:57.fantastic bronze medal. The crowd are hoping to see her step up again.

:32:58. > :33:12.Sally Hunter, a silver medal in the 200. Decent lifetime best. She is a

:33:13. > :33:16.strong 200 swimmer. Sophie Taylor, the best chance she has right now.

:33:17. > :33:29.Let's see if she can manage the nerves. Disappointed in the 200.

:33:30. > :33:37.This event, the hundred metres, is well-suited to her. Sophie Taylor

:33:38. > :33:56.needs to step up. She is good in the first 25.

:33:57. > :34:08.The second semifinal of the women's 100m breaststroke. Corrie Scott in

:34:09. > :34:13.two. Chloe Tutton from Wales in seven. Sophie Taylor has a decent

:34:14. > :34:20.start in the black cap. The best one is coming from the swimmer in the

:34:21. > :34:28.lane closest to us. Sophie has more work to do than she should have,

:34:29. > :34:33.really. But Taylor is now asserting herself. The race is at the far end

:34:34. > :34:44.of the lanes. One two, three, four. Scott, Tonks, Taylor. A very good

:34:45. > :34:50.turn from Tonks of Australia. Sophie Taylor is starting to come back. She

:34:51. > :34:56.normally comes back in the second 50 of the hundred. Also going well is

:34:57. > :35:00.Corrie Scott for Scotland in two in the blue hat. Tonks is leading.

:35:01. > :35:08.Second is Sophie Taylor in the centre. Very good last 25 for Sophie

:35:09. > :35:13.Taylor. That was a decent time, just outside her British record. The 200

:35:14. > :35:25.was not quite so good, but that is much better. Half a second dropped

:35:26. > :35:31.from her heat swim this morning. I think Taylor is quite relieved. But

:35:32. > :35:39.I think she can work on this start. She gave about half a second away in

:35:40. > :35:48.the start. We might notice with some of these swimmers as they come down

:35:49. > :35:51.in a row, good turn from Taylor. A lot of coaches tell swimmers to did

:35:52. > :35:55.their heads as they come in, but Tonks and Taylor were not keeping

:35:56. > :35:58.their heads. There are different ways of doing breaststroke. You

:35:59. > :36:06.don't have to dip your head. Some people think there is only one way.

:36:07. > :36:14.Taylor will be going in in silver medal position, with Atkinson the

:36:15. > :36:28.big threat. Great last 10m of that race. Really strong. It was very

:36:29. > :36:32.close. Reasonably happy, I think. She will have a centre lane for the

:36:33. > :37:07.final of the women's 100 breaststroke tomorrow night.

:37:08. > :37:14.Just before nine o'clock, we have Chris Walker-Hebborn, up against

:37:15. > :37:19.Liam Tancock Tom the defending champion. After that, Fran Halsall,

:37:20. > :37:23.who is super fast in the 50m butterfly. And we will also bring

:37:24. > :37:28.you up-to-date as Erraid Davies receives her silver medal for the

:37:29. > :37:32.para swimming. She is 13 and from the Shetland Islands. And Hannah

:37:33. > :37:37.Miley will get her bronze. Now back to Gary.

:37:38. > :37:43.We will be back at the pool shortly for the remaining three golds to be

:37:44. > :37:51.won tonight. I am joined this evening by two legend. 12

:37:52. > :37:58.Commonwealth golds between them. Ian Thorpe and Sir Chris Hoy. You have

:37:59. > :38:01.wrote your IDE, I presume. Tell everyone that story. In the Sir

:38:02. > :38:08.Chris Hoy Velodrome, you had to show ID? A lady stopped me, the security

:38:09. > :38:14.lady. She checked my past. Fair enough, that is her job. We had a

:38:15. > :38:24.lovely story in the pool this evening. Erraid Davis, 13 years old,

:38:25. > :38:30.is now trending worldwide on Twitter. -- Erraid Davies. She is 13

:38:31. > :38:36.years old, the youngest ever Commonwealth gold representative for

:38:37. > :38:43.Scotland. It is quite a story. It is the bubbly the coolest thing ever, a

:38:44. > :38:47.30-year-old trending on Twitter. -- 13-year-old. This is a wonderful

:38:48. > :38:56.result for her. She will be on cloud nine for days. She has to go back to

:38:57. > :39:03.school, but school is out. A wonderful result. Look at her face.

:39:04. > :39:10.She trains in a 16.7 metre pool in Shetland. I suppose at that age, you

:39:11. > :39:15.don't need much more. That is good for maths, if you are trying to add

:39:16. > :39:21.up. I suppose it again encapsulates how good the games has been for

:39:22. > :39:25.Scotland. It has been wonderful. The medal table is incredible at this

:39:26. > :39:30.stage. Hopefully, we can continue that success. These are live

:39:31. > :39:41.pictures. She is going for her medal ceremony. Wonderful. Well done,

:39:42. > :39:46.Erraid Davies. Massive applause from the crowd. The crowds have been

:39:47. > :39:49.brilliant everywhere. They have. It has been a brilliant atmosphere in

:39:50. > :39:57.the velodrome. Every time you see them on TV, the crowd have gone

:39:58. > :40:06.wild. This is one of the great things, being in the home nations or

:40:07. > :40:09.in Australia as well, the sporting public know their sport and they are

:40:10. > :40:14.happy to support people from all over the world whenever they see

:40:15. > :40:20.great performances. Look at that medal. Lots more to come, I am much

:40:21. > :40:27.in the future. A star is born. What an experience. Try to think what I

:40:28. > :40:33.was doing when I was 13. Riding BMX. I was, to! And Para-sport have

:40:34. > :40:39.been embraced by the Commonwealth Games as well. It has been brilliant

:40:40. > :40:43.integration. Yes, in the velodrome, we have had the tandems. Neil Fachie

:40:44. > :40:47.and Craig MacLean winning double gold. And two Silvers as well, so it

:40:48. > :40:55.has been great for the Scottish team. Tears all round. That is the

:40:56. > :41:16.gold medal winner, Sophie Pascoe, from New Zealand. And Erraid,

:41:17. > :41:22.applauding her rivals. Not easy to clap with a quaich in your hand.

:41:23. > :41:31.What is that? Traditionally, it is a cup for whiskey. She is too young

:41:32. > :41:38.for that! It is a traditional Scottish item for passing whiskey

:41:39. > :41:46.around. Brilliant scenes, and well done, Erraid Davies.

:41:47. > :41:50.Overall in the swimming, I must say a word on Australia. They have been

:41:51. > :41:57.phenomenal. They top the leaderboard by a distance. They have been good.

:41:58. > :42:02.They have not been great. Tonight was the first night where I have

:42:03. > :42:02.started to see more of the Australian dominance that was

:42:03. > :42:05.expected. was the first night where I have

:42:06. > :42:08.started to see more of the They were hoping for 53 medals in the pool.

:42:09. > :42:12.started to see more of the They were hoping for 53 medals in That is a

:42:13. > :42:18.lot. After day three, Australia was at 20 medals in the pool. Tonight,

:42:19. > :42:21.we have caught up a bit but we will not reach 53. Scotland have done

:42:22. > :42:26.really well. They have done incredibly well. There were big

:42:27. > :42:28.incredibly well. There were expectations from athletes like

:42:29. > :42:29.Michael Jamieson, expectations from athletes like

:42:30. > :42:37.Michael but there are emerging stars like Ross Murdoch and Erraid as

:42:38. > :42:44.well. There was the one to three from earlier and James Magnusson. He

:42:45. > :42:47.really needed to perform well in this race. In Australia, there have

:42:48. > :42:52.been huge expectations of his performances. He should have won in

:42:53. > :43:01.London. He lost by a hundredth of a second. He has apologised for his

:43:02. > :43:07.performances throughout his career. He is world champion and defending

:43:08. > :43:13.world champion. Australia has needed him to win here so that all can be

:43:14. > :43:22.forgiven and he can move on with his career. The final medals in the Sir

:43:23. > :43:33.Chris Hoy house were given out tonight. We can queue a musical

:43:34. > :43:43.montage. It always works for me! -- cue. That looked to be a clean

:43:44. > :43:53.start. Can they keep it going? The roar goes up around the arena. A

:43:54. > :43:59.superb ride from them. Sophie Thornhill. Alex Scott on the front

:44:00. > :44:13.of the tandem. The English tandem is flying. Around the banking for a

:44:14. > :44:17.final time. 1.5 seconds faster than the Scottish tandem. The gold medal

:44:18. > :44:29.goes to England. Stunningly quick all the way through.

:44:30. > :44:38.What a race this will be. Battling it out. It is so close. The

:44:39. > :44:45.21-year-old takes it for Australia. Jess Varnish with the chance to win

:44:46. > :44:48.what be her second bronze medal. It is bronze for England and for Jess

:44:49. > :44:54.Varnish. The all Australian matchup between

:44:55. > :44:58.Stephanie Morton the rising star and Anna Meares. But she has to win this

:44:59. > :45:06.race, otherwise Stephanie Morton will be the new Commonwealth

:45:07. > :45:19.champion. The, world title changes hands.

:45:20. > :45:22.Glenn O'Shea is right on his wheel. Archibald is being chased by Glenn

:45:23. > :45:31.O'Shea all the way. Commonwealth champion, Shane Archbold from New

:45:32. > :45:38.Zealand. Elinor Barker hits the front. Can she hang on and get the

:45:39. > :45:42.five points? She can. It means Elinor Barker is in the gold medal

:45:43. > :45:51.position ahead of Laura Trott, by a single point.

:45:52. > :45:58.The final lap. Elinor Barker, right on the wheel of Katie Archibald. It

:45:59. > :46:04.is Laura Trott, for England. Laura Trott gets ahead of Elinor Barker

:46:05. > :46:08.right on the line. Laura Trott takes the Commonwealth title. Bronze for

:46:09. > :46:16.Katie Archibald of Scotland and silver for Wales and Elinor Barker.

:46:17. > :46:23.Overall, how do you view it, in London 2012, hugely successful. I

:46:24. > :46:30.know the teams are split up, but they are not quite as dominant. They

:46:31. > :46:36.are not. And after Beijing we had a dip. We are good at peaking for the

:46:37. > :46:39.Olympic Games. You still want to peak for the Commonwealth Games and

:46:40. > :46:45.a home Commonwealth Games is an important event. There is more

:46:46. > :46:50.success here. It is not necessarily it is all fantastic in the team.

:46:51. > :46:55.There is improvement to be made. A lot of people have retired. It is a

:46:56. > :47:00.rebuilding of the team. New athletes have come in. There is reason for

:47:01. > :47:10.celebration but more work to be done. Your highlight? Until today,

:47:11. > :47:15.Craig Maclean and Neil Fachie, that was fantastic. I was equally as

:47:16. > :47:21.pleased the Katie Archibald. She won a bronze medal, which does not take

:47:22. > :47:25.the headlines. But she is new on the scene. This is her first individual

:47:26. > :47:32.medal. She is definitely a star of the future. Laura Trott was already

:47:33. > :47:39.a star and performed again, despite a problem with her kidney. She is

:47:40. > :47:44.box office. The public love her. She has that spark. Even when she is not

:47:45. > :47:55.100%. And she managed to win the gold medal. Australia have topped

:47:56. > :48:02.that leaderboard, as well. It is good. Not a complete reversal, well,

:48:03. > :48:07.actually it is, from London. We are winning things again. It was always

:48:08. > :48:12.going to be difficult for home nations after a London Olympics and

:48:13. > :48:16.being able to continue in the sport. Some people probably stuck

:48:17. > :48:20.around a little bit longer than they would, if it was a different city.

:48:21. > :48:29.This transition was always going to be difficult. I am not sure whether

:48:30. > :48:36.this is trending worldwide, but there were interesting scenes after

:48:37. > :48:42.the keirin final. Prichard making a planned proposal. It looks like it

:48:43. > :48:47.might have been successful. It is not the only proposal in the

:48:48. > :48:59.Velodrome today. Aileen McGlynn's boyfriend proposed to her. Two

:49:00. > :49:04.proposals. And to acceptances. It is a guaranteed yes at the Velodrome!

:49:05. > :49:10.We can hear from the future happy couple.

:49:11. > :49:17.Congratulations. Explain what you have done. I proposed to my

:49:18. > :49:24.long-term girlfriend Amanda. Did you see that one coming? I thought, why

:49:25. > :49:30.is he climbing over the bars? I did not think he would propose. And the

:49:31. > :49:36.little baby thrilled to see that moment. That is in the memory book.

:49:37. > :49:44.He was too busy sucking his fingers, he was not that interested! I have

:49:45. > :49:53.been planning this five, six months. He had not told his mum or dad. It

:49:54. > :49:56.was top secret. You rode a great keirin. How will you able to

:49:57. > :50:01.concentrate, knowing you would propose in front of the Velodrome?

:50:02. > :50:06.It was pushed to the back of the head. I hoped she would say yes. I

:50:07. > :50:11.thought she would say yes and I put it away, and I thought about what

:50:12. > :50:18.was going on in the keirin. It was really good. I really enjoyed the

:50:19. > :50:25.first one. Was it ever in doubt? No, I have been nagging for longer

:50:26. > :50:34.enough! Let me see the ring. Do you approve? It is stunning. Just like

:50:35. > :50:48.the one I took a picture of and left on the iPad! I am so proud of him.

:50:49. > :50:54.How romantic. His cycling did not go so well, I am not surprised,

:50:55. > :51:01.planning this. I do not know where he kept the ring. Track cycling is

:51:02. > :51:08.over. Athletics started today, with the marathons on the streets. It has

:51:09. > :51:13.been a marathon to get it! Here it comes.

:51:14. > :51:22.Good morning, the first event, the track and field programme, the

:51:23. > :51:28.marathon. Today, it is quite enjoyable out there. It will be a

:51:29. > :51:33.great race. What about Steven Way? He was a smoker, he did not have a

:51:34. > :51:35.good diet and said he was only heading one way. He took up running

:51:36. > :51:54.and this is him, many miles later. Look at these crowds. That is

:51:55. > :52:02.fantastic to see. What a brilliant scene. I am sure they are responding

:52:03. > :52:10.to that. Oh, that is what you have to watch out for. The first time an

:52:11. > :52:15.Australian goes to the front of the men's race. The women's race, three

:52:16. > :52:21.have pulled away and continue to do so. This is what his season has been

:52:22. > :52:32.all about. Now crossing the River Clyde. Strong and powerful. He is

:52:33. > :52:40.working hard, pushing hard, he has run the perfect race. Today, it is

:52:41. > :52:44.Daniel's day. She takes the Commonwealth title. It was second

:52:45. > :52:51.last time for Mike Shelley. It will be glorious goals for the Australian

:52:52. > :52:57.this time. What a brilliant performance. He is now the

:52:58. > :53:03.Commonwealth Games champion. Some greater straight years have won in

:53:04. > :53:09.the past. I am very excited. We have been joined by Steven Way.

:53:10. > :53:13.He was in the marathon today. He finished 10th. We do not normally

:53:14. > :53:18.have people in who have finished 10th, but at the same time, yours is

:53:19. > :53:25.a remarkable story. You turned your life around and went to running a

:53:26. > :53:29.few years ago. You found yourself in the London Marathon and finished

:53:30. > :53:34.third, third-highest English man, and therefore you qualified for this

:53:35. > :53:40.and finished 10th with the fastest time ever by a British athlete over

:53:41. > :53:49.40 years old. Well done. It has been quite a day. I came into today's

:53:50. > :53:56.race with personal goals, because, realistically, with my personal best

:53:57. > :54:00.time, a medal was unlikely. One goal was a top-10 finish and I squeeze

:54:01. > :54:11.that in bypassing a chap with metres to go. And the other was to get a

:54:12. > :54:18.personal best, which I did. And I had an eye on the record of Ron

:54:19. > :54:21.Hill, the veteran's record. Afterwards you said it was as good

:54:22. > :54:27.as the day you got married, was that wise? I have had a few good days,

:54:28. > :54:35.northerly revolving around the London Marathon. I always say it is

:54:36. > :54:42.the best day apart from my wedding day -- normally revolving. That this

:54:43. > :54:50.was as good as my wedding day. My wife would probably go with it, as

:54:51. > :54:53.well. The person in front of you in ninth, Derek Hawkins, was being sick

:54:54. > :55:01.on the final approach, which must have been off-putting. I was not

:55:02. > :55:02.that focused on him, due to the paid in my legs.

:55:03. > :55:06.that focused on him, due to the paid in It put me to shame on that front,

:55:07. > :55:12.because he obviously tried harder than I, if he was being sick. Derek

:55:13. > :55:20.is a fantastic athlete. He managed to get away. You coach yourself.

:55:21. > :55:29.Secondly, not long ago, you were 16 and a half stone. About 16. You

:55:30. > :55:42.described your life as quite a lot of drinking, a lot of smoking and a

:55:43. > :55:51.lot of late night kebabs. How many? You turned it around. What changed?

:55:52. > :55:56.I was a typical middle-aged couch potato with no sporting activity. I

:55:57. > :56:01.like my TV watching, takeaway meals. I was a heavy smoker. Most

:56:02. > :56:09.weekends involved getting pretty drunk. It got to the stage when I

:56:10. > :56:13.was 33 when my weight had ballooned to the state where you look at

:56:14. > :56:17.yourself in the mirror and you are not too sure you like what you are

:56:18. > :56:22.looking at. The smoking had started to take affect. I was having

:56:23. > :56:31.coughing fits in the night. I reached the point where I needed to

:56:32. > :56:40.do something. It is fantastic that... I have the necessary genes

:56:41. > :56:44.to allow me to get so far, but the great thing about running is the

:56:45. > :56:50.more you do of it, the better you get. It does not matter where your

:56:51. > :56:54.genes get you on that front, everybody has scope for improvement.

:56:55. > :56:57.All you need to do is get out and running regularly and you will see

:56:58. > :57:05.improvement. You will be surprised how many people when they find an

:57:06. > :57:11.exercise they enjoyed, it is a good form of addiction to take over from

:57:12. > :57:20.smoking. It is inspiring. It can be any sport. Phil Jones, he lost 14

:57:21. > :57:23.and a half stone, he watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics in

:57:24. > :57:28.London. He said he was sitting there with cider, pizza and chips and

:57:29. > :57:40.something clicked in his head, enough. He got down to just over 11

:57:41. > :57:44.stone. He turned it around. In the previous Commonwealth Games we have

:57:45. > :57:50.someone who was a swimmer. He was really out of shape and wanted to

:57:51. > :57:56.get back into form, wanting to lead a healthy lifestyle. When you hear

:57:57. > :58:00.stories like this, we talk about the impact on people's lives, we can see

:58:01. > :58:08.the positive impact on the broader community, as well. Steve, one final

:58:09. > :58:13.question - will you be celebrating tonight or is social Steve Karelia

:58:14. > :58:18.out of the window? He's still there. I let him out of the box now and

:58:19. > :58:22.again and in scenarios like this, he does get allowed out for a bit so I

:58:23. > :58:30.may have had a couple of points earlier this afternoon. We will

:58:31. > :58:34.allow that! Can I just say, congratulations to Mr Shelley who

:58:35. > :58:38.won the marathon today? No, you can't! It was against the run of

:58:39. > :58:44.what was expected and it was a fantastic run. Australian, though!

:58:45. > :58:47.We've got to go back to the swimming but thank you, all of you. Great to

:58:48. > :58:52.have you here. Back to Clare Balding.

:58:53. > :58:55.A fantastic story here, everyone still reacting to Erraid Davies, the

:58:56. > :59:03.13-year-old, Scotland's youngest ever competitor in the camera games.

:59:04. > :59:07.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor has won a gold medal in the 200 metres

:59:08. > :59:14.individual medley. Hannah Miley took the bronze but at 18, Siobhan-Marie

:59:15. > :59:18.O'Connor is one of the youngest members of the England team here and

:59:19. > :59:23.she did it in stunning style on a really fast time. It was a new

:59:24. > :59:27.British record, a new Games record and this is just the start for her,

:59:28. > :59:31.you feel. REBECCA ADLINGTON: I've been

:59:32. > :59:35.impressed with her all year. She's been racing nonstop. It is her fifth

:59:36. > :59:38.medal of this Championships. She's got the relay to come so she could

:59:39. > :59:53.equal the most medals in one meet. the final that we have been waiting

:59:54. > :59:57.for because it is a stunning race to come and another chance for

:59:58. > :00:00.England, possibly, to win a gold medal because Chris Walker-Hebborn

:00:01. > :00:05.qualified very fast for this. Not the fastest, with a Welsh competitor

:00:06. > :00:12.and the defending champion Liam Tancock.

:00:13. > :00:17.COMMENTATOR: This is going to be fascinating. Here is the 100 metres

:00:18. > :00:23.backstroke champion. It is wide open because Liam Tancock has already

:00:24. > :00:28.been presented, I believe. As he? They're going across the board.

:00:29. > :00:35.Chris Walker-Hebborn in five, the fastest qualifier, from Australia in

:00:36. > :00:40.number four. Marco Loughran has a super chance of a medal here. A 50

:00:41. > :00:49.metre backstroke - anything can happen. The class of the field, the

:00:50. > :00:52.experience on the field, is this gentleman, Liam Tancock, the world

:00:53. > :00:58.record holder in 50 metres back drug. Can he come back from a really

:00:59. > :01:04.nasty injury? -- 50 metres backstroke.

:01:05. > :01:11.To get that equal bronze medal with Josh Beaver in six was fantastic. It

:01:12. > :01:14.is quite wide open. We both believe this could go anywhere. It would be

:01:15. > :01:18.great to see Chris Walker-Hebborn. I think he'll be fired up by seeing

:01:19. > :01:30.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, his partner, get her medal. If I was neutral,

:01:31. > :01:37.which is hard to do, I want to give it to Ben Treffers a little bit. He

:01:38. > :01:40.missed out on the 2009 worlds, 2010 Delhi. His qualification in 2012 was

:01:41. > :02:22.out by a 10th of a second. Ben Treffers gets the gold for

:02:23. > :02:25.Australia. Mitch Larkin gets the silver down in seventh and the

:02:26. > :02:36.bronze has gone to Liam Tancock up in lane two. So it is four, seven

:02:37. > :02:39.and two. Not easy to call! What a brilliant bronze medal for Liam

:02:40. > :02:45.Tancock. He has two bronze medals now, coming back of that injury.

:02:46. > :02:50.What a tough, tough guy he is. I am pleased. I know you front of me when

:02:51. > :02:53.I said I wanted the Aussie to do well but Ben Treffers has had such a

:02:54. > :02:59.hard luck story in the last few years, missing out on the teams.

:03:00. > :03:05.He's repeating the feet of his father, Mark, who got a gold medal

:03:06. > :03:13.swimming for New Zealand in the 1974 Commonwealth Games in the 400

:03:14. > :03:17.medley. I don't know if you saw the finish of Mitch Larkin. He stuck his

:03:18. > :03:24.head up right before the finish just at the back. The margin of victory

:03:25. > :03:36.is small. Liam Tancock - another bronze

:03:37. > :03:39.medal, and he is on his way back. Chris Walker-Hebborn just outside

:03:40. > :03:49.the medals in fourth. Marco Loughran sixth. Wow! We did say before the

:03:50. > :03:53.race, anything can happen and you can get a medal from anywhere and

:03:54. > :03:59.the medals coming from lanes four for the gold, seven for the silver

:04:00. > :04:03.and two for the bronze. I'm really looking forward to this one, the

:04:04. > :04:07.women's 50 metres butterfly. Fran Halsall was by far the class of the

:04:08. > :04:16.field in the semifinals and after the 50 freestyle, surely she can do

:04:17. > :04:20.the sprint double. I'm with you put up I think we will see lane forget

:04:21. > :04:24.the gold medal again. Here is Alicia Coutts. We've just had her on the

:04:25. > :04:34.medal podium. She's composing herself again for another race. She

:04:35. > :04:42.will be in lane eight. Amy Smith representing England and a

:04:43. > :04:53.26-year-old. I say 26, she's just turned 27 this week. So the winner

:04:54. > :05:05.of the 100 metres fly, the fourth fastest qualifier for this final.

:05:06. > :05:15.Here is Arianna Vanderpool Wallace of the Bahamas who was fourth on the

:05:16. > :05:22.50 metre freestyle. Here is Fran Halsall. Unless something really

:05:23. > :05:25.horrible happens, she will have an utterly wonderful new Commonwealth

:05:26. > :05:31.Games record, a British record and a new Commonwealth record. She is the

:05:32. > :05:37.defending champion. Brittany Elmslie of Australia could be one to watch

:05:38. > :05:46.in lane three. As long as Fran concentrates on her own race, it

:05:47. > :05:53.should be a gold to Fran Halsall. People have been quite keen to see

:05:54. > :05:57.if she had her hot pants on. There is talk about what they do for the

:05:58. > :06:01.swimmers but I think Fran Halsall is in prime position to do the double.

:06:02. > :06:09.Arianna Vanderpool Wallace in lane five had a fantastic start. Look at

:06:10. > :06:14.the world record, though. That was set on July the 5th of this year.

:06:15. > :07:04.But I think for Fran to get anywhere near the low 25s would be fantastic.

:07:05. > :07:12.Fran Halsall has got it. The time, 25.20, is another British and

:07:13. > :07:18.Commonwealth record. Gold again to Fran Halsall and what a double. The

:07:19. > :07:24.50 freestyle and now the 50 fly. Never been done before. Brilliant

:07:25. > :07:26.swimming! Goals to England, silver to Arianna Vanderpool Wallace, and

:07:27. > :07:34.it was much closer than I thought, and the bronze to Brittany Elmslie

:07:35. > :07:38.of Australia. She pushed it all the way but frankly, I thought, Fran, if

:07:39. > :07:43.she pulled out every single piece of training and focus on the process,

:07:44. > :07:47.she would have got that. The breathing was perfect. The last 50

:07:48. > :07:53.metres, heads down, didn't take a breath. She kept the struggle low on

:07:54. > :08:01.to the surface of the water. Hands placed perfectly. Arianna Vanderpool

:08:02. > :08:10.Wallace did not give in. A great silver medal for the Bahamas. Fran

:08:11. > :08:14.Halsall is the fastest woman in the water at these Commonwealth Games.

:08:15. > :08:20.Freestyle and fly, a brilliant double. I watched her getting out of

:08:21. > :08:25.the water and I have to say, she smiled every time she popped her

:08:26. > :08:29.head up, a knowing smile, knowing she has done something no woman has

:08:30. > :08:31.ever done before. Commonwealth champion, a new games record. Look

:08:32. > :08:40.at that - brilliant! You've just done something no one

:08:41. > :08:45.else has ever done and you are whingeing about having to go for a

:08:46. > :08:51.test! Bat was great! That was really good. There was a tendency to fly in

:08:52. > :08:58.the final and slid water. I didn't want to do that. Another personal

:08:59. > :09:02.best - I can't complain. And in control, the whole race. It wasn't

:09:03. > :09:06.particularly tight. You don't know, though, do you, on flight? You are

:09:07. > :09:13.looking forward I couldn't feel any one's presence. I'm just so happy

:09:14. > :09:19.with how things are going and it has been a good couple of days.

:09:20. > :09:28.Wonderful for James Gibson, your coach. You touched on it earlier how

:09:29. > :09:34.important he is for you. The fact that James swam - we are quite the

:09:35. > :09:40.same which means we quash a lot of things but he knows me. -- we clash

:09:41. > :09:44.on a lot of things. He knows some of the things I went through and he has

:09:45. > :09:49.coached a love that champions so I have every faith in him. You need to

:09:50. > :09:53.believe in what I coached us and how they think about things and their

:09:54. > :09:57.drills and skills. I have every faith in James. He's a great coach

:09:58. > :10:01.will top you had an amazing time. You still got the phrases to come

:10:02. > :10:05.and for the right price, I've got some great stories on him if you

:10:06. > :10:10.ever need them! Thank you. I need some in case he gives me a hard

:10:11. > :10:16.session! CLARE BALDING: Fran Halsall paying

:10:17. > :10:23.tribute to hurt team led by James Gibson. We are about to see Liam

:10:24. > :10:27.Tancock get his bronze medal for the 50 metres back but for Fran

:10:28. > :10:31.Halsall, the first woman ever to do the sprint double. She deserves it

:10:32. > :10:35.so much because she's had to battle with a lot.

:10:36. > :10:39.MARK FOSTER: The 50 metre fly was only introduced in 2002 so it hasn't

:10:40. > :10:43.been there for a long time. She's had a few disappointments. The

:10:44. > :10:49.Olympic Games was a disappointment, coming forth, but she changed

:10:50. > :10:53.trainer to James Gibson. Let's give this man his moment, Liam Tancock.

:10:54. > :11:04.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE World record-holder Liam Tancock

:11:05. > :11:10.winning bronze in this 50 metre backstroke, adding to the bronze

:11:11. > :11:15.medal he won in the 100. Delighted for him for top is the world

:11:16. > :11:18.record-holder and some expected him to win the gold but he has had

:11:19. > :11:25.injury, had some time out and is now back on the medal podium. Well done,

:11:26. > :11:29.Liam. Silver on the men's 50 metre backstroke goes to Mitch Larkin. If

:11:30. > :11:32.he hadn't stuck his head up on the finish line he could have snatched

:11:33. > :11:37.the gold! Very fast finishing by Mitch Larkin. He was behind Ben

:11:38. > :11:57.Treffers. -- You were feeling particularly sorry

:11:58. > :12:02.for this young gentleman before the race started so you must be happy

:12:03. > :12:06.he's won the gold! As a swimming on server and a neutral, Ben Treffers

:12:07. > :12:11.missing out on three Australian teams by hundredths of a second and

:12:12. > :12:16.tenths of a second, disappointed not to get to London, and he is

:12:17. > :12:21.repeating a feat that his father did in 1974. A shorter event - his

:12:22. > :12:29.father was a 400 meter Commonwealth champion. The 400 medley and the 50

:12:30. > :12:34.back are different animals. It's in the genes. His father won a medal in

:12:35. > :12:37.the 1500 freestyle. That is a different lifestyle.

:12:38. > :12:42.the genes. His father won a medal in the 1500 freestyle. That is So

:12:43. > :12:46.powerful. , most champion in the men's 50 metres backstroke is Ben

:12:47. > :12:52.Treffers of Australia. -- Commonwealth champion.

:12:53. > :13:47.world stage, wins bronze. The gold has gone to Ben Treffers of

:13:48. > :14:04.Australia. A super swim from him. Gary Lineker: More Australian gold

:14:05. > :14:08.and silver. Liam Tancock proudly displaying his bronze medal. Another

:14:09. > :14:17.fascinating evening in the ball. Wonderful scenes. -- in the swimming

:14:18. > :14:21.pool. Erraid Davies, earlier we saw her with her medal. Clare

:14:22. > :14:24.pool. Erraid Davies, earlier we saw preparing for the highlight showed

:14:25. > :14:31.that she does later on. Make sure you see that later. In the meantime

:14:32. > :14:34.I will talk with Mark Foster and Rebecca Adlington. Mark, a

:14:35. > :14:42.tremendous performance from Fran Halsall, a first in the sprint

:14:43. > :14:47.double. What is lovely is that she has had a few years when it has not

:14:48. > :14:51.gone so well and there has been a huge shift. We talk about the

:14:52. > :14:57.performances, but the coaches make a difference. She has been with James

:14:58. > :15:00.Gibson for two years, he has been world and Commonwealth Games

:15:01. > :15:08.champion himself. He trained in France. He coached in Marseille. His

:15:09. > :15:13.influence in the swimming pool and her mental state. At first she did

:15:14. > :15:18.not buy into the trading much, but now she is flying again. Rebecca, I

:15:19. > :15:24.understand she has been helped by Steve Peters, the sport

:15:25. > :15:31.psychologist, who was involved with the England football team. A member

:15:32. > :15:36.of his team has been working with Fran Halsall. I think she needed

:15:37. > :15:40.it. I worked with a sports psychologist and it made a huge

:15:41. > :15:45.difference. Especially to someone like Fran Halsall, who had a

:15:46. > :15:50.disappointing Olympics. She got a bronze of the World Championship,

:15:51. > :15:56.but not the result she was after. Come here and do that will be a

:15:57. > :16:02.confidence boost. She will continue to use the sport psychologist up

:16:03. > :16:07.until Rio. It is important, the mind. You can be athletically

:16:08. > :16:15.talented, but if the mind is not right at the same time, it is not

:16:16. > :16:18.going to work. Do you think that has been a significant difference for

:16:19. > :16:25.her, it was the mental side she had to improve? Ten Commonwealth Games

:16:26. > :16:33.medals now. It must've made a shift. It is like a table. She is the table

:16:34. > :16:37.top. You need a coach, the sport psychologist, they are the table

:16:38. > :16:42.legs, which you need in the right place. She seems to have everything

:16:43. > :16:47.set in the right place. She has not moved anywhere. James Gibson came in

:16:48. > :16:53.for her. I can put it down to the fact these components are right. She

:16:54. > :17:00.said in the interview how much the team got her to where she is and she

:17:01. > :17:08.faxed them all on Twitter. Every single person -- she thanked them.

:17:09. > :17:13.She is only 24. You think she has been around for ever. She was on the

:17:14. > :17:21.scene at 16. Potentially, I am not saying she will do, I sprinted, I

:17:22. > :17:28.did not retire until 38 so she could keep going for a long time. We saw a

:17:29. > :17:35.stunning performance from Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. She won by a

:17:36. > :17:41.Street. This is her favourite event. She has four medals from

:17:42. > :17:46.relays, the butterfly, but this is what she wanted to do. And Hannah

:17:47. > :17:54.Miley, getting the bronze medal, she used the back end of the race.

:17:55. > :17:59.Siobhan raced perfectly. She has the best start. Her skills are

:18:00. > :18:06.incredible. She has been getting silver and bronze medals, but this

:18:07. > :18:13.meant the world. She had a moment on the podium, it was emotional for

:18:14. > :18:18.her. I talked about it at the Olympics, when Rebecca was going to

:18:19. > :18:23.give up, and Joe Jackson went. Overnight, half the team retired.

:18:24. > :18:30.There was a gap to fill. We have seen here, not just from Fran

:18:31. > :18:38.Halsall, Siobhan O'Connor, they are the next generation. Becky left a

:18:39. > :18:46.legacy. The star of the show, Erraid Davies, winning the bronze medal. We

:18:47. > :18:51.cannot get tired of seeing her face. She was so happy. She spoke to us

:18:52. > :18:57.this morning. It was lovely to have her. She did a four second personal

:18:58. > :19:02.best to get to the final and she improved again. She is only 13. Her

:19:03. > :19:08.school friends did not know she was here. The coach and family were the

:19:09. > :19:15.only ones. The family are here and she got to see her parents and give

:19:16. > :19:24.them a hug. She promised she would be back with a medal. I think her

:19:25. > :19:31.celebration, in her quaich, there will be ice cream!

:19:32. > :19:46.We can join Adrian and Andrew. We have seen Malaysia in lane eight

:19:47. > :19:54.and England in lane seven. Goodness me. Listen to the crowd for team

:19:55. > :20:04.Scotland. They have changed their team from the heats. Robbie Renwick,

:20:05. > :20:10.the big anchor. Third fastest qualifiers for this final. South

:20:11. > :20:15.Africa have a good team. Chad le Clos will go second with Sebastien

:20:16. > :20:22.Rousseau third. The change with Chad le Clos will make it competitive for

:20:23. > :20:38.the Scottish team. Cameron McEvoy, leading off his team. They have

:20:39. > :20:53.taken out Horton, who is a super relay swimmer. South Africa will

:20:54. > :21:01.have Devon Brown as the lead-off swimmer. This is going to be a

:21:02. > :21:09.fabulous race. Australia are favourites. The silver and bronze

:21:10. > :21:12.are tough to call. Calum Jarvis, the bronze-medallist in the individual

:21:13. > :21:19.freestyle, expect him to Garret quickly. -- expect him to go out

:21:20. > :21:37.quickly. Fraser took a while to get down

:21:38. > :21:41.there, but it is a decent start. Already going very well for

:21:42. > :21:50.Australia, as expected, Cameron McEvoy. He needs to make sure he's

:21:51. > :22:06.stretches this out. A beautiful stroke. Him and Magnussen, they

:22:07. > :22:23.have. Somebody has to make a move.

:22:24. > :22:33.Somebody will definitely make a move and I will imagine it will be now.

:22:34. > :22:48.It is the halfway mark. They are still in a line. The lead-off leg

:22:49. > :22:54.for England, Nick Granger had a back problem recently. Going well.

:22:55. > :23:05.Scotland are leading. Daniel Wallace is fired up for this. His gold medal

:23:06. > :23:09.moved the nation and if he can give a lead against the Australians.

:23:10. > :23:17.Cameron McEvoy struggling down the last 20 metres. Calum Jarvis,

:23:18. > :23:31.winning the first leg for Wales. What a swing that is. A decent

:23:32. > :23:35.lead-off. Wallace swimming well. A super start on the second leg. Chad

:23:36. > :23:47.le Clos starting to take over in the green hat. He is no stranger to

:23:48. > :24:03.pressure. He is very capable of looking left and right on this

:24:04. > :24:08.stroke. The Australian, in the relay, he is doing a mammoth job. He

:24:09. > :24:20.has brought them back into contention. The Scots are in third.

:24:21. > :24:29.South Africa, with Australia starting to catch up. Chad, looking

:24:30. > :24:32.a little bit tired. He is such a fighter, I cannot believe he will

:24:33. > :24:41.let the Australians catch him too much. Chad le Clos just about

:24:42. > :24:50.leading for South Africa. Stephen Milne for Scotland is third. Chad le

:24:51. > :24:59.Clos struggling to hold on. The Australian's stroke rate increasing.

:25:00. > :25:06.Brilliant from Stephen Milne. He is overtaking Chad le Clos. This is

:25:07. > :25:11.super stuff. The halfway mark, very exciting. Australia have just taken

:25:12. > :25:16.the lead. It looks like Scotland may be in second place with the blue

:25:17. > :25:24.hat. That is a super swim so far. Duncan stood -- Duncan Scott.

:25:25. > :25:40.Scotland could be pushing for the title. What a brilliant turn from

:25:41. > :25:45.Duncan Scott. If this young man can bring Robbie Renwick any form of

:25:46. > :25:51.chance, he will have a go. Sebastien Rousseau, but battler for South

:25:52. > :26:03.Africa, keeping an eye on where he is. Australia were over first. This

:26:04. > :26:09.is very close. A very good turn for the Scots. Duncan Scott, with the

:26:10. > :26:17.blue hat. The medals must be going to these three. Duncan Scott, he is

:26:18. > :26:24.starting to catch up on the Australian. This is fascinating.

:26:25. > :26:32.Scotland just about second. Sebastien Rousseau third for South

:26:33. > :26:35.Africa, but it is tight. The Australian is struggling. Sebastien

:26:36. > :26:40.Rousseau looks strong and powerful. It is a great swim by Duncan Scott.

:26:41. > :26:56.The crowd is going knots. They are on their feet. -- nuts. It looks

:26:57. > :27:02.like first, South Africa. Just behind is Scotland. The lead, half a

:27:03. > :27:06.second. Thomas Fraser-Holmes of Australia in third. He is a good 200

:27:07. > :27:14.metres freestyle swimmer. This will be tight. Robbie could not replicate

:27:15. > :27:19.his form on the individual race, but he has the chance to vindicate

:27:20. > :27:28.himself. A big ask for Robbie Renwick. Thomas Fraser-Holmes,

:27:29. > :27:33.turning it on. A great pattern of breathing in the last length. When

:27:34. > :27:38.they repeat this, Robbie Renwick will be able to see where Thomas

:27:39. > :27:45.Fraser-Holmes is. This is where he needs to stay with him. Robbie

:27:46. > :27:51.Renwick is a good 400 metres swimmer. Robbie Renwick, with the

:27:52. > :27:56.blue hat, having a go at Australia. Scotland changed their swimmers from

:27:57. > :28:04.the heats. Robbie Renwick is having a go at Thomas Fraser-Holmes of

:28:05. > :28:05.Australia. HAS THOMAS FRASER-HOLMES GONE OFF TO

:28:06. > :28:18.QUICKLY? Look at the legs, like our boat

:28:19. > :28:23.motors. Thomas Fraser-Holmes is giving it everything. The crowd are

:28:24. > :28:27.on their feet, the roof lifted off. Can Robbie Renwick get a medal? I

:28:28. > :28:32.think he will get the silver. A silver would be great for Scotland

:28:33. > :28:36.but he is getting tired. It is going to be Australia's gold medal. It is

:28:37. > :28:40.Australia with the gold-medal. Scotland have a wonderful silver

:28:41. > :28:49.medal, an absolutely wonderful medal for Scotland. A bronze to South

:28:50. > :28:57.Africa. Goodness me! Four super heroes from Scotland in this event.

:28:58. > :29:02.Stunning stuff. Gold to Australia, silver to Scotland, bronze to South

:29:03. > :29:04.Africa. It wouldn't surprise you to know that was a Scottish record. By

:29:05. > :29:31.a mile! 7.14.4 row. -- 7.14.40. Goodness me! The history of Scottish

:29:32. > :29:36.teams in this event is really stunning. They stand up and produce

:29:37. > :29:45.it, don't they? What a wonderful team effort. Dan Wallace led them

:29:46. > :29:53.off really well. His split time was 1.47.3. For a medley swimmer, that

:29:54. > :30:00.is a stunner. Really good. That is the American head-to-head stuff. He

:30:01. > :30:09.loves a race. The other swimmers had great times as well. Consistent, all

:30:10. > :30:15.contributing to the cause. Thomas Fraser-Holmes at the end - just too

:30:16. > :30:21.much. He was two seconds off Robbie. David McEwan and Thomas

:30:22. > :30:30.Fraser-Holmes did stand-up. The two men of Australia who were capable of

:30:31. > :30:31.1.45s did it. I am still marvelling at that Scottish team! To be so

:30:32. > :30:46.close to Australia. He had enough energy to leap up and

:30:47. > :30:49.give a high five to his team-mates at

:30:50. > :30:53.He had enough energy to leap up and give a high five to his the end.

:30:54. > :30:57.That was a powerful, very, very good swim from Thomas Fraser-Holmes. He

:30:58. > :31:04.knew he'd won it and he got it 50 metres ago. He punches the air and

:31:05. > :31:13.then leaps up to the congratulations of the three other relay members.

:31:14. > :31:17.There they are. So the final race on the fourth night of swimming here at

:31:18. > :31:21.Tollcross... I'm absolutely exhausted! Australia winning this

:31:22. > :31:25.event in a new Commonwealth Games record. Super for Scotland to get

:31:26. > :31:30.the silver and South Africa the bronze.

:31:31. > :31:36.Well done, guys who stop everybody in this stadium was on their feet

:31:37. > :31:41.screaming. What a week you had! Yes, another great performance from the

:31:42. > :31:44.whole team. We were really well-prepared and happy for

:31:45. > :31:48.everyone. We are really tight for time but we desperately want to

:31:49. > :31:52.speak to you. You were a bit disappointed with your own 200, I'm

:31:53. > :31:56.sure, but this was amazing. It certainly made up for it. It's been

:31:57. > :32:01.a tough few days and to get a silver medal with these boys has been the

:32:02. > :32:06.highlight. The highlight of the game so far for me. It's fantastic. And

:32:07. > :32:12.you guys are the future of 200 meter freestyle swimming, as well. I hope

:32:13. > :32:17.so! It's been great to be part of this. We've had such a great games

:32:18. > :32:21.so far. To share a medal with these boys is an real. I'm so happy. Do

:32:22. > :32:25.you know all the words later when you stand up there and let your

:32:26. > :32:32.silver medal? I know the words, yeah, so I should be OK! It will be

:32:33. > :32:36.the Aussies but in four years we will get their!

:32:37. > :32:41.I think they will all be singing to you regardless because you were

:32:42. > :32:45.extraordinary. Well done. Great stuff. Brilliant in the pool

:32:46. > :32:50.again. Thanks to all the team at the swimming. BBC Three are now showing

:32:51. > :32:55.a men's Squash semifinal featuring England's James Willstrop. And on

:32:56. > :33:00.the red button now, there is hockey, England versus Malaysia. But we're

:33:01. > :33:07.heading to Ibrox for the conclusion of what has been a sensational rugby

:33:08. > :33:12.sevens competition. The challenge could not be more stark for

:33:13. > :33:19.Scotland. That may well be enough. Scotland have been beaten. It's been

:33:20. > :33:24.a perfect first half for Wales. This is the moment for Wales. No words

:33:25. > :33:31.needed to express Welsh pain or Australian joy. Magnificent! Samoa

:33:32. > :33:33.lead by a single point. Australian joy. Magnificent! Samoa

:33:34. > :33:38.lead by a single Samoa Toloa the turn England on the third time of

:33:39. > :33:49.asking. Most sports have one dominant team and this is it in

:33:50. > :33:53.sevens. Two great days at Ibrox. Big crowds, big hits, big tries, big

:33:54. > :33:57.drama. New Zealand are the favourites, the four times

:33:58. > :34:00.champions, and have not lost a match since the event was introduced in

:34:01. > :34:04.1998. Tonight they face South Africa. Let's join John Inverdale

:34:05. > :34:15.for a very special occasion. A vibrant and very excited Ibrox is

:34:16. > :34:19.anticipating what we hope will be a grand conclusion to what has been a

:34:20. > :34:23.really fantastic event. A world record crowd for a two-day sevens

:34:24. > :34:29.competition, it within excess of 180,000 people. What we want, and

:34:30. > :34:32.they deserve, is a final fit for the occasion. We've got the two teams to

:34:33. > :34:37.give us that because they are the best, without doubt. They've been

:34:38. > :34:41.the best all season in the World Series so it is set up

:34:42. > :34:45.fantastically. Two very contrasting styles. It will be interesting to

:34:46. > :34:49.see, especially now that the rain has come down a bit heavier, whether

:34:50. > :34:55.it's its New Zealand better than South Africa. I think they will be

:34:56. > :35:04.taking it right up the middle, the Kiwis. You got to watch out for the

:35:05. > :35:13.South African boys. They are just class players. The New Zealanders

:35:14. > :35:17.have been fantastic. What a structure. They take the ball in,

:35:18. > :35:23.create off sidelines and they don't make many mistakes. This famous

:35:24. > :35:28.stadium has seen many great nights. Eric Liddell actually ran here in

:35:29. > :35:32.the 1920s. Jim Walsh defended a world boxing crown here in the

:35:33. > :35:36.1980s. There have been so many great sporting event is going back

:35:37. > :35:42.countless years but never an evening like this, I don't think. A unique

:35:43. > :35:44.occasion, 50,000 people in here for the conclusion of this rugby sevens

:35:45. > :35:47.competition. The gold medal at stake. Simon Mannix and Nick Mullins

:35:48. > :36:04.will describe it for you. COMMENTATOR: South Africa will get

:36:05. > :36:13.us under way. Is it a black story to continue or are bottle green is

:36:14. > :36:18.going to have a word to say? They are team who, right across the

:36:19. > :36:31.field, have the power, the ability, to play a real power game. The speed

:36:32. > :36:42.game we've spoken about already. They have some outstanding players.

:36:43. > :36:47.New Zealand really have written the book on how to play this game in

:36:48. > :36:52.recent years. Not completely unbeatable but, in the big moments,

:36:53. > :36:56.so often they step up and I been World Series champions a dozen times

:36:57. > :36:59.over the last 15 years and they've always been the champions at the end

:37:00. > :37:04.of these Commonwealth Games tournaments. That's the steepness of

:37:05. > :37:08.the mountain South Africa are trying to climb here but we've seen all

:37:09. > :37:17.weekend that they've got the big sturdy boots on and they've

:37:18. > :37:26.certainly got pace and guile. I've been so impressed with Cornal

:37:27. > :37:31.Hendricks. Here he is in the rain. The skipper Kyle Brown is finding a

:37:32. > :37:36.cute little angle but it was read by the New Zealand defence. They had

:37:37. > :37:44.battled hard enough on the floor to win it back. New Zealand are a very

:37:45. > :38:01.strong team. It's all about lamb down the outside. -- Ben Lam.

:38:02. > :38:09.A couple of minutes into this 20 minute final... Because it is the

:38:10. > :38:14.final, there are an extra three minutes for each half. That is

:38:15. > :38:23.obviously a shoulder they are treating and you wonder... Well, the

:38:24. > :38:30.coaching staff will be worried about that. Kyle Brown is so important to

:38:31. > :38:39.the side. Short listed for the world player of the year this season, won

:38:40. > :38:46.eventually by Fiji's Sammy very, -- by a Fijian player. By the time Fiji

:38:47. > :38:52.were readmitted to the common wealth games, it was too late for them to

:38:53. > :38:57.play in this tournament. I think it was in his falling that he braced

:38:58. > :39:01.his body with the right arm. He almost seemed to hyper extent

:39:02. > :39:08.himself at the end of it. He has been thrown around like a rag doll.

:39:09. > :39:12.You can see here, as he goes down, once he is extended, you can see the

:39:13. > :39:15.Iago flat and he is in a lot of pain. Picked up by his own

:39:16. > :39:33.team-mates. One of the features of this whole

:39:34. > :39:37.weekend, while we wait for Kyle Brown to get sorted, has been this

:39:38. > :39:42.place, Ibrox. It has been the centrepiece of what has been a

:39:43. > :39:47.magnificent weekend. It's been part of this city's landscape since the

:39:48. > :39:52.end of the 19th century. 1899 the stand we are sitting in started to

:39:53. > :39:57.be built. Much of what we see today, as we move around to the

:39:58. > :40:04.right, was largely renovated in the last 20 years. But this stadium and

:40:05. > :40:08.the 50,000 who have filled it for all four sessions have made this one

:40:09. > :40:15.of the more memorable Commonwealth Games sevens tournaments. I think

:40:16. > :40:23.the final figure for the four days is 171,000, which is a new sevens

:40:24. > :40:28.record for two days. It's good to see Kyle Brown on his feet. It's a

:40:29. > :40:35.less good to see him nursing that shoulder the way he is. It's always

:40:36. > :40:40.unfortunate, just in terms of this bet to go, to lose the captain, but

:40:41. > :40:43.there is so much experience in the South African side that the

:40:44. > :40:48.individuals will step up and take responsible at it. A big loss for

:40:49. > :40:52.South Africa, though. He has had an outstanding tournament, outstanding

:40:53. > :40:56.work in the last two days from the captain. I hope that shoulder injury

:40:57. > :41:03.is not too serious. They're going to have to do without the skipper.

:41:04. > :41:11.Cecil Afrika there quickly to release Branco du Preez.

:41:12. > :41:24.Ben Lam got there in the end but it was cleverly kept alive by the

:41:25. > :41:29.determination of Frankie Horne. Here he is again, broad shoulders.

:41:30. > :41:39.WHISTLE BLOWS Superb play.

:41:40. > :41:52.Scott Curry with a turnover. Now the break from Ben Lam, who has

:41:53. > :41:58.been pretty quiet over the last couple of minutes, as the referee

:41:59. > :42:05.takes a tumble. Forbes back inside and New Zealand will score first in

:42:06. > :42:10.this final. Sherwin Stowers was on hand. His fifth try of these

:42:11. > :42:15.Commonwealth Games and the bananas will tell you, it is his most

:42:16. > :42:25.important. A turnover from a quick penalty played out by his team-mate.

:42:26. > :42:31.The numbers stacked up and they were able to play it. We talk about the

:42:32. > :42:38.physical nature of the South Africans, well, Ben Lam brings it

:42:39. > :42:46.for them. Branco du Preez was not able to do anything about that. The

:42:47. > :42:50.referee goes down and scores 3.45. Many players in support there and it

:42:51. > :42:55.was Sherman Stour Sue had the easy job. First score for New Zealand. --

:42:56. > :43:33.Sherwin Stowers. Smith is quickly back upon his feet.

:43:34. > :43:39.That all was not the most sympathetic as it sought out Cornal

:43:40. > :43:47.Hendricks. Spices it up on both sides of the defensive line. You can

:43:48. > :43:50.see what Dry was attempting. The pass was lacking a bit of the

:43:51. > :43:56.accuracy required if you are going to play this New Zealand team. You

:43:57. > :44:04.cannot needlessly give the ball away, because they will punish you.

:44:05. > :44:06.I think the light shower that passed overhead has headed to another part

:44:07. > :44:43.of the city. DJ Forbes did some impressive miming

:44:44. > :44:45.of his own. Mikkelson making sure that New Zealand will have

:44:46. > :45:19.possession. But they have lost it. We are going to have a problem. We

:45:20. > :45:25.have got a yellow card straightaway. The penalty had been given. It is

:45:26. > :45:36.very clear, everybody knows the rules. There was no place for trying

:45:37. > :45:40.to slow the game down. Hard to understand why he did that. The

:45:41. > :46:00.referee had blown his whistle anyway.

:46:01. > :46:43.They have been New Zealand's closest challengers this season. That is

:46:44. > :46:48.down to the experienced nature of this New Zealand outfit. The South

:46:49. > :46:51.African team is very impressive. Can they get it over the line? That has

:46:52. > :47:07.always been the big question mark. Once again, possession not cherished

:47:08. > :47:15.in the way it ought to have been. They may be forced to pay here, big

:47:16. > :47:22.time. Lam has taken them 50m upfield. Remember, they are a man

:47:23. > :47:35.down for the time being. Stowers has scored the only try so far.

:47:36. > :47:44.It is one of the features of New Zealand. They are eating into the

:47:45. > :47:50.clock when they need to. They can control the pace of the game. They

:47:51. > :47:54.understand what is going on around them. They knew they had the penalty

:47:55. > :48:01.advantage. South Africa were ill disciplined, giving away needless

:48:02. > :48:05.penalties. One more score here from New Zealand, with a minute to run,

:48:06. > :48:09.and it could hurt the South Africans. New Zealand only have six

:48:10. > :48:20.men currently on the field. This is not from New Zealand. --

:48:21. > :48:49.nonchalance. Du Preez wins the penalty, Forbes

:48:50. > :48:54.holding onto the ball. They took time to make the most of the man

:48:55. > :48:57.advantage, but they have done that. With the conversion to come, they

:48:58. > :49:07.should be level at half-time in this Commonwealth Games final. New

:49:08. > :49:12.Zealand do not want to be slowing down and backtracking. Very guilty,

:49:13. > :49:13.the New Zealand side, showing a touch of arrogance with their

:49:14. > :49:47.approach. Senatla finally breaks through. He

:49:48. > :50:03.is into double figures for tries this weekend in Scotland. As The

:50:04. > :50:08.Proclaimers rings around Ibrox, one last time and the Scottish crowd get

:50:09. > :50:12.into it, they are into this final in a big way. It is not spectacular the

:50:13. > :50:19.way some of the other games have been, but it is compelling. It was a

:50:20. > :50:34.good performance by New Zealand in the first half. Then they were

:50:35. > :50:44.trying to slow the game down. They are controlling the breakdown. They

:50:45. > :50:48.are so aggressive. The South Africans want a one-on-one, loose

:50:49. > :50:54.game, with a quick defeat, but it is not happening. When they were trying

:50:55. > :51:01.to slow the game down and they were down to six men made was almost like

:51:02. > :51:09.pro rugby ten years ago, when teams just threw the ball around. Then

:51:10. > :51:13.South Africa got the try. These guys are so well conditioned. This is

:51:14. > :51:30.their sixth game in two days. When South Africa did look for

:51:31. > :51:38.contact, they did not commit any players to the tackle area. It is

:51:39. > :51:42.very well balanced. We have two contrasting styles. One error here,

:51:43. > :51:47.one error there. A refereeing decision here and there is well.

:51:48. > :51:53.That could be key to either side. So, here we are. Seven apiece. Ten

:51:54. > :51:54.minutes away from deciding the gold medal in the rugby sevens at the

:51:55. > :52:10.Glasgow Commonwealth Games. You are pointing at something,

:52:11. > :52:15.Simon. A change was made at half-time, with Stowers going off.

:52:16. > :52:28.And Heem is back on. Jo Webber is involved, as Simon

:52:29. > :53:05.thought he might be early on. He carried the flag at Celtic Park

:53:06. > :53:18.last week in the opening ceremony. That is a real boost to his mates.

:53:19. > :53:20.The South Africans will not want to play the game in the wrong area. A

:53:21. > :54:01.battle of attrition now. Toroitich switching it to the far

:54:02. > :54:03.right hand side. Senatla! Gone. Too early to talk in capital letters,

:54:04. > :54:28.but the story is brewing. That was just great play. It was

:54:29. > :54:29.just too quick. Senatla has been too quick for everybody in this

:54:30. > :55:31.tournament. play as labelled tournament to win

:55:32. > :55:37.this, to find their A game, which they have not found up to this wing.

:55:38. > :55:44.They were impressive seeing off Australia in the semifinals, but

:55:45. > :55:52.only their best will do now. At the moment, the challenge is to get out

:55:53. > :55:57.of their own 22. That is down to the pressure that the South African

:55:58. > :55:58.defensive line is putting on them. They are doing an outstanding job

:55:59. > :56:58.thus far. This is suicidal stuff, penalty

:56:59. > :57:22.after penalty. New Zealand have got to be disciplined in this area. We

:57:23. > :57:23.will awareness here. At Branco du Preez is making way on the South

:57:24. > :57:46.African side. Bryce Heem has made way for Sam

:57:47. > :58:05.Dickson. This is a Cecil Afrika. They sprint

:58:06. > :58:12.for the line and it could take South Africa beyond the reach of the

:58:13. > :58:20.blacks. It is Cecil Afrika for South Africa! The flag bearer and perhaps

:58:21. > :58:27.- perhaps - the bearer of a gold medal before too long. How big a try

:58:28. > :58:32.might that be? We're talking the strongman in New Zealand, DJ Forbes.

:58:33. > :58:35.Look at the he gets muscled by Warren Whiteley. Then it is the

:58:36. > :58:43.counter rock and other work to clear the area. Cecil Afrika takes it away

:58:44. > :58:47.under the attention of Tim Mikkelson, who tried hard to get

:58:48. > :58:51.back across, but the work was done at the breakdown. The area where New

:58:52. > :58:56.Zealand dominate traditionally has been muscled in on tonight.

:58:57. > :59:04.Well, in 1998 in Kuala Lumpur, it was New Zealand. In 2002 in

:59:05. > :59:08.Manchester, it was New Zealand. Melbourne four years later, it was

:59:09. > :59:10.New Zealand. In Delhi four years ago, it was
