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

sure she does not get too excited. The final of the 50 metres

freestyle. Fran Halsall bearer. Some bigger Australians around her. --

there. She has had a good start. Fast but powerful. There is Cate

Campbell. But it looks like Fran Halsall. She is going well. It will

be tight. She might have it. Yes, she does! 23.96. Fran Halsall is the

Commonwealth champion. A massive shock. That is brilliant.

Fantastic. She matched Cate Campbell stroke for stroke. It will not be

expected by the Campbell sisters. She said in an interview, Bronte

Campbell, called her a pocket rocket. She has done a job on them

here. It was a fingertip touch, but it was the difference between silver

and gold. Fran Halsall is a Commonwealth champion. She is the

hot favourite in the 50 fly. Her final is just after nine o'clock.

Just before that, we have Chris Walker-Hebborn and Liam Tancock in

the 50 meter backstroke final. Liam Tancock is the defending champion.

He is the world record-holder. That was done in the rubber suit. The

suits have changed. It is cool bodysuits back to shorts. Chris

Walker-Hebborn has the confidence, nothing to lose. This is the and for

a Liam Tancock. He has never really lost this event. -- this is the best

event for a Liam Tancock. It is going to be tight. Ben Treffers also

has a chance. It is going to come down to a fingertip touch again.

Chris Walker-Hebborn has the advantage of being amazingly tall,

so when he stretches back, it is a long reach. All those boys are quite

big, especially in the sprinting world. They all seem to be long and

lame compared to the rest of the events, but Chris Walker-Hebborn

said yesterday that he had something up his sleeve for the final. I do

not know if we will see that, but I certainly hope so. I have had lots

of questions asking why England are swimming in Bray caps, there are

hard to identify? -- grey. Wales are in white and red. So many countries

have similar colours, I think that is their way of identifying

themselves. It would make it easier if you had the fly. -- flag. It

cannot be too big. The other gold medal hope, but the fastest

qualifier, is 79-macro. She has had a great week -- Matt Siobhan Marie

O'Connor. She is up against Al Smith, the defending champion, that

is difficult. It will be a great final -- Alicia Coutts. You can see

the countdown going on. There is the start list by the first of our

finals. -- for the first. So Hilary Caldwell is the fastest qualifier.

She was a bronze medallist at the World Championships. Maddie Wilson

is the Commonwealth record-holder. It would be great to see Elizabeth

Simmons back on the medal podium. It has been a while. -- Elizabeth

Simmonds. It would be nice to see her on the podium. The crowd are

getting whipped up. First out is Lauren Quigley. She is from England.

Sinead Russell, the third Canadian in the final. Seven that the World

Championships. The track was seven at the World Championships. 31-macro

from Canada. -- Matt three. Here is Maddie Wilson. -- Madi Wilson. Here

is Belinda Hocking. She is on paper it the fastest. The Canadian is

vast. That Michael is the fastest -- fast. -- is the fastest. The fastest

qualifier for this final. There is Hilary Caldwell. The World

Championship bronze medallist. There is Hilary Caldwell. Elizabeth

Simmonds is in Lane 5. I am looking forward to this, it is wide open. We

have not yet forward to this, it is wide open. We

have seen these ladies firing on the backstroke. We have not seen them

really open up yet. So, the final of the backstroke is underway. A good

start from Lauren Quigley. Another good start from 24. -- Emily

Seebohm. Emily Seebohm will be a threat. Perry Caldwell will come

back quickly, as does Elizabeth Simmonds. -- Hillary called well. --

Hilary Caldwell. Right at the top, Sinead Russell was in the final of

the Olympics and the World Championships. She is no slouch and

clearly her tactic to get on the outside and breakaway early, she

should be over first. Not quite, it looks like it was Hilary Caldwell in

the centre. That was a great turn. She looked the best this morning.

She will really put the pressure on to break quite a few of the field.

With the Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace is struggling to hold on. Belinda

Hocking is coming through. -- Emily Seebohm is struggling to hold on --

Madi Wilson. She is starting to come back, Elizabeth Simmonds. It looks

like Belinda Hocking is starting to swim away. She is looking good.

Belinda Hocking of Australia, a silver medallist at the World

Championships is right there. There is a big fight. It might be Emily

Seebohm coming through. The gold medal has gone to Australia, the

silver medal is to Emily Seebohm and the bronze medal is to Hilary

Caldwell from Canada. Elizabeth Simmonds was overtaken into fourth.

What a race, brilliant from Belinda Hocking. I thought that's Hilary

Caldwell did well but could not live with the pace. She only lost in the

last stroke or two. What a difficult race. She pasted very well. --

paste. -- paced. Two women over, Belinda Hocking and Hilary Caldwell.

How she got through to get that silver medal, brilliant. That is

Elizabeth Simmonds going on. Emily Seebohm at the bottom. Two strokes,

she was in silver medal position. Quite a few swimmers wearing nose

clips. I knew Championship record and a new Commonwealth record for

Belinda Hocking -- a new record. Hilary Caldwell got the bronze for

Canada. Lauren Quigley swam really well. Not the position you wanted to

be in, it is horrible. It was a difficult race. Certainly not quite

be in, it is horrible. It was a difficult race. Certainly what I

wanted, but it is a step forward from last year. It is difficult not

coming away with the medal, but hopefully I will race again in the

summer and perhaps move that forward. It was always going to be

tough. I am gutted not to win a medal. Perhaps you need time for the

changes to work. Yes. We implemented a few changes. It was a short

season. I am happier with where I am now on paper and helpfully, we can

sit down in the summer and disgusted and go forward.

now on paper and helpfully, we can sit down in the -- discuss it. There

is James Disney-May. He swam very well in the relay for team England,

certainly in the heats. There is Yuri Kisil. There is Dylan Carter

going in Lane 7. Then we have Adam Brown, the new Father, what a

sacrifice he has made to be. Hoping that his wife would deliver on time,

after the Commonwealth Games, but she did it before. He could be the

other one. You cannot see beyond the world number one and the world

number two this year. This is one of the Australian winners on the relay.

Here is the first of the big two. He said he was going to break the world

record at the Australian trials and he did not but he was defeated.

James Magnusson. A world champion in 2013. World ranked number one this

year. Olympic silver medallist. Lane five, McAvoy. I know what you are

going to do, you are asking me who is going to win! I want him to win,

Magnusson. He is the best in the world and has been for four years.

World champion in 2013 but did not quite pull it off in 2012. McAvoy,

the young pretender. And a good start, very good start

indeed from Lane number five. Cameron McAvoy. They better start

than it was for Magnussen. This is the first time these freestylers

have been going and it looks like McAvoy has started really well. Had

Brown at the top. Going really nicely. -- Adam Brown at the top.

McAvoy is in the lead. A brilliant first 50 by McAvoy. Brown, third

place. This is fascinating because the Australian art those beaten to

the left. -- are both feet into the left. Overtaking James Magnussen. He

is going to win it, he does. The world champion becomes the

Commonwealth champion. Magnussen of Australia. 48.11. Very good indeed.

Magnussen wins it. McAvoy gets silver. And I am afraid to tell you

that it is Australia, one to three and there they are. Unless you are

an Aussie, if you are an Aussie, they will be pretty excited right

now. Well, they have dominated. It is great to see Magnussen take that

title. He has headed the world rankings every year since 2011. We

talked about it a lot. He has been given a hard for being

overconfident. Confidence bordering arrogance but he has turned that

down a little bit and realised that you cannot be the alpha male

forever. In his own words, he was talking about a bit of humility. He

knew that McAvoy had taken the lead on the 50 and worked very hard. Both

of them in a line and as you said, Magnussen going towards McAvoy.

Maybe a slight advantage. We can see that he got it. In the end it was

not actually that close. About 23 out of 100, something like that?

Magnussen with his hat off already. All of them are massive guys. Maybe

with the exception of McAvoy. Slightly more slight physique. Here

he is, the world champion and now the Commonwealth champion with the

freestyle. The fastest man in the world in the 100 freestyle.

Confirmed on the 100 metres freestyle of the Commonwealth Games.

The champion, Magnussen of Australia. It is an Australia 123.

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

I am. And did not win a medal. He put himself up here himself. And he

put so much pressure on himself. Since coming back from the games he

has had a lot of problems dealing with the fanfare and all the rest of

it. I would not say problems but pressure back home. He has calmed

down and he came out of the blocks. Mr chirpy seemed very relaxed. And I

thought Cameron was going to take him. But he was playing with him,

Magnussen. Not as in not trying but he had it in the bag. They will go

up against the Americans back on home soil in Australia in one month.

They have got the sprinting and they will go up against the Americans and

when they get back home... Five medals frost trailer. It makes you

realise -- five medals for Australia and it makes you realise how quiet

they have been up until this stage. We hope it will not be like this for

the rest of the night! They are very strong. Adam Brown went out a little

bit too hard and he could not come back to the rest of the field. We

have got the semifinals and final still to come but for now, back to

Gary. We will be back at people very small -- shortly. The last event is

the men's keirin in the cycling. The one with the bloke on the bike. You

know. We can describe the action. From Malaysia, Peter Lewis, from

Australia, Shane Perkins, Australia. Sam Webster, New Zealand. Eddie

Dawkins, New Zealand. And Matthew Blake from Australia. Three Aussies.

A couple of Kiwis. How much will team tactics play a part? Will Awang

get away from these riders? He thought he had gold a couple of

years ago but it was not to be. As the bike goes past, he is on the

wheel, then it is Webster. Then Peter Lewis. Lewis with a big wide

white striped damn his hat. Awang is fourth.

Stripe on the downside of his hat. Six lambs left in this keirin final.

The last rays of the track programme. -- six laps left. Last

race. Webster is following his wheel.

Then, Lewis. Awang. The winner of that semifinal with a wheelie.

Perkins, a champion three years ago. Dawkins holding off a little bit at

the back. We have seen he has got great form at the moment. Three laps

left. The motorbike will come off. Going into the back straight here.

What a race this will be. A bit of bumping and barging. Getting muscled

out by Lewis. Dawkins up to the front and try to take control. Awang

inside. Nip it in front of Lewis. Perkins bringing up the rear.

Webster, fifth at the moment. They will take it next time round.

Dawkins is trying to win it from the front. Look on the outside. Webster

on the outside. Through the middle, he has got his front wheel in front.

It will be Webster battling it out. Awang on the inside. It is so close.

Right on the line. The 21 euros has taken it from Australia, Matthew

Blake sir. Sam Webster gets a medal to go with the gold medals he has

one already. A photo finish, Awang claiming the bronze. What a finish

that was. That is how close it was. Matthew glades are just getting in

front. Webster, second place. Awang third. And Perkins, the former

champion in fourth place. He broke the Commonwealth Games record in

qualifying, Matthew glades. Then went out in the quarterfinals but a

gold medal in the end anyway. -- Matthew. They do not get much closer

than that. That was an incredible half final lap. Awang almost did it.

He just got a bit boxed in. Just got out of way will stop picking up the

bronze medal. It was that man again, proving that he had the speed. He

could see him on the inside. Waiting for a gap to open up. Down the back

straight. Matthew glades. -- Matthew. Running out of distance.

Australia all the way up the home straight. Webster not able to make

it. Looked at the last minute and you could feel him coming up the

inside. No real wheelie by Awang, not surprising with that close

contact. That was a tremendous final. Magnussen -- Glaetzer winning

it by half a wheel. Just missing out there on a hat-trick of gold medals.

This man. That was a good way to bring down the curtain on the track

programme. We have had four days of excellent racing and it is hard to

pick out a highlight with so many good races. The para- cycling has

been popular as well. Bring back the tandems. We want the tandems in the

Olympics. We have enjoyed that and a couple of great moment for Scotland.

Delight for Glaetzer. Australia have now got seven golds in the track

cycling and they have topped that leaderboard. We will be joined later

by Sir Chris hoy. We look forward to that. That is the end of the track

cycling. A lot of other sports going on and this is how you can keep

STUDIO: And can I also recommend... We are on! Go to the website in the

day. It is fantastic for highlights. You can watch the

marathon in highlight form. It is really good and the net all.

Whatever you have missed. -- netball. These are all of your

options now. Rugby sevens. The lawn bowls. Brilliant. And a live feed.

And the highlights as well. Look where it says live coverage. The

highlights. Really good. I have got a couple of random questions. Tom

Gooch has said that which you say that 22 is too old to join a

swimming club? Definitely not. It is huge now. A lot of people join and

go into trials. They want to get fit and active. It is never too late.

Why is it called freestyle when it is actually front crawl? It is

butterfly, backstroke and breast stroke in front crawl. It is the

strip in which everybody is the fastest and you know that already. I

am letting you answer. It is a genuine question from somebody

watching. If you could devise a stroke, and I think that there is

one practised, an East German swimmer many moons ago, freestyle

arms and the butterfly kick. You know how fast it is, the butterfly

movement? With freestyle arms it is very difficult. If that's too

difficult? I think we will have that in future. You should get into

coaching. You really should. I think Mark should demonstrate. How good is

that? Butter/? OK, I think that is very good. Questions coming in. We

are at BBC Glasgow, 2014. Some people have asked about the

temperature of the pool. 26 degrees and it stays the same throughout. It

cannot be 20 on the first night and 28 and 26. 26 degrees the whole

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

there, they do not jump up and down like we do. They get cold otherwise.

By the way, this is the website on social media. Fran Halsall, I was

reading up on her this morning because she is in action. She said

and I do not know if this is a joke, she said that when that medal

ceremony was delayed, she came back up and was a bit cold because her

heated pants were not working. You know when he ripped those things off

earlier? They are heated pants. We do not need them any more. I have

not heard of that before and we had not been told. That is what they

are. There is obviously some adhesive material. Fran Halsall is

going to come out. This is the semifinal. Have a close look for her

on lane five and see if you can spot the special heated pants. We will

get Sharon on the case and investigate. Back to Adrian and

Andy. been introduced. She said she had

nothing to lose and was going to go for it. Amy Smith as well. They are

swimming well. There is the contender from New Zealand. Fourth

fastest qualifier from the semifinal. The two swimmers in the

centre have come through. There is the Canadian. Fran Halsall. I think

she has matured. She was 24 years old. The crowd are giving lots of

support. Emma McKeon has had a great meet so far. This is a sweet spot

for her and the question is whether Fran Halsall can extend it. She was

also in the free relay which broke the world record. A special filling

a must of been stop the first of the two semi-finals of the freestyle.

Emma McKeon own, fastest seed, a decent start, but Fran Halsall with

her. She looks pedestrian and comfortable compared to

her. She looks pedestrian and said on the freestyle. Two length

and when you get up to the 52nd mark, it is not really a sprint. You

have to save a little bit. Emma McKeon own is staying deeper than

Fran Halsall. Fran Halsall had the better start. Emma McKeon very

strong. Her stroke grade is very quick. Fran Halsall is not going as

fast as she could. This is good. Emma McKeon will be a threat will

stop Emma McKeon wins it. Fran Halsall is seconds. Fran Halsall the

butterfly final later. I am sure she did not push it as bad as she needed

to -- Fran Halsall has the butterfly final. Her explosion off the turn,

the first three strokes, very deep. The first three strokes, really

amazing. One two, three, really strong. It set up the second 50. It

was a good victory for Emma McKeon own. I think Fran Halsall was

thinking about the next event, because the job has been done for

her. I think Emma McKeon was going for that. Fran Halsall got enough.

Amy Smith, she is in fourth place. That should be OK. She is a bright

young talent, Emma McKeon. Emma McKeon wins the first semifinal of

the 100 metres freestyle. It is the fastest eight. There is a decent

second semifinal with the two Campbell sisters and there. There is

the line-up for the second semifinal. Look at that, Cate

Campbell in Lane 4, the fastest in the world this year in the freestyle

and her sister right next to her, silver and bronze on the 50 metres

freestyle. Fran Halsall took the gold. That was as a prize for that

family. They will be hoping to reassert themselves. I am seeing an

Aussie victory, possibly. Erin Gallagher goes in Lane 1 in the

second semifinal. In seven, Rebecca Turner, what a great semifinal she

has. Interesting with the Campbell sisters in the centre, Cate Campbell

as the Commonwealth well but -- record and broad deep Campbell has

the Commonwealth Games record -- Bronte Campbell. The Commonwealth

record can be set in any race. Bronte Campbell swam faster than her

sister. She said the Commonwealth Games record before the 100 free.

Cate Campbell swam faster in the heat but did not break the Games

record. If you're not confuse, you will be soon. I thought I understood

it, but maybe not -- confused. Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace is fourth

on the freestyle. I do not think the Bahamas have won and medal on -- in

this involved. Is Bronte Campbell. -- in the swimming pool -- here is

Bronte Campbell. It is a fierce rivalry between these two sisters.

Friendship left behind when they get into the blocks. It must be a

nightmare to have your sister with you. Imagine Alistair Brownlee and

Jonny Brownlee. The same sort of Boeing. -- the same sort of thing.

Cate Campbell going fast. Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace swims in the US,

really good first 50 metres. I love the stroke of Cate Campbell. Look at

the stroke. Most people go blasting off and she is lovely and long and

strong and powerful. Look at that! This looks really comfortable. Cate

Campbell WinZip comfortably. 53.19 -- wins it. That looked really easy.

It did. You can only do that if you know how to apply the power. What is

happening there, the reason she is not spinning the water is because

she is more focused on holding the water, pulling herself through it.

That is a mistake a lot of swimmers make. They think it is about getting

your arms around quickly, but it is about holding the water. You need to

get hold of it and polar body pastor. The application of that

power is important... -- pull your body has to that. It gives her the

chance to be more powerful. Campbell is not breathing hard. She has a

sneaky look around and then looks at the scoreboard. The time is really

impressive. If that was as easy as it looked, it looked wonderful. Cate

Campbell winning the second semifinal of the women's freestyle.

Her sister is second. Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace third. I think

the top five will go through. In which case, Amy Smith will be out.

She is. Camel goals in fastest -- Campbell goals in fastest. -- goes

in fastest. The first semifinal of the 50m

breaststroke. The world-record holder straight in will stop a

surprise, Cameron there. -- the world record holder straight in. A

surprise there. Cameron does not like to be beaten. He is a tough

person, the South African. His team-mate, Bradley Handley is in

line -- Lane 7. -- Bradley will stop Robert Holderness, the Welsh

record-holder came eighth in Delhi. -- Bradley. Robert Holderness. There

is Glen Synders. This guy is poetry in motion when he gets going, there

is Cameron, the world-record holder. Mark Tully from Scotland getting a

massive reception. He was second at the Scottish Championships. What a

great qualification if Sejwal, from India gets into the finals. Michael

Dawson was 10th in Delhi, he is from Northern Ireland. This is going to

be quite interesting, because the second semifinal is stacked. I would

suggest they need to get on with it. There is no holding back. No holding

back, but apply the power appropriately. Terence, focused, --

temps. -- temps. A very quick start. The first semifinal of the men has

macro 50m breaststroke and what a start from Cameron van der Brugh. He

is the world record holder. That start will help so much. He has got

half a metre off the start, coming back is Mark Tully. He looks very

good. Glen cinders is going well. -- Glenn Snyder is going well. That is

very good. That was quick. That was very impressive. A fantastic start.

He comes out of the water really well, there is a sneaky suspicion he

does a little kick, but no one can pin it on him. If I could bottle

what he does at a dive, it would be great. That is interesting if you

are learning new techniques for diving. He held it all the way,

really good application of power. Cameron van der Brugh does not want

to lose his signature event. Mark Tully went well for Scotland. That

is just outside the record set by Ross Murdoch. This very difficult,

just to make the Scottish team. The results, a new Commonwealth

Games record. I think Sharon... A fantastic swim. The start was hugely

important. Gracious in the 100 but you will not give up this easily?

The 100 was a disappointment. But, I think I have to come out and give

the younger guys a shock for their money. They cannot have it their own

way. How long do you work on a start that good? I have been neglecting

the 50. Hopefully, the previous years, the younger days practising,

it is playing back into my hand. Neglecting, but just off the world

record. The world record is always a bonus. It did not happen tonight.

The important thing is the win. Maybe one of the boys will break the

record now. We will see. Did you hear that, maybe one of the boys

will break the record now? Does he want them to break it? He is clearly

worried about the guys. Adam Peaty looks so good on the breaststroke.

And next to him in five, the great Ross Murdoch. Home country interest.

James Wilby will be out there, here ears. He made finals at the 100 and

200 breaststroke. He has quietly got on with his job. He has done well.

Team Scotland having a cracking meet and the new British record holder.

Check him out. You have to get pumped up for the 50s. You have to

bet on Adam Peaty. Christian Sprenger has not had a good

competition. He has been left behind by the British. Can Richard Funk in

Lane 2? That is a great question. Ian Black has done really well. What

a privilege it with the two swim it. Let us see if he can do another

lifetime best. In the centre, Christian Sprenger of Australia.

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

afternoon. Going to bed at 3am this morning. Ross Murdoch looking, now,

that is good. It is all right walking out hyped up, but calmed

down now. The second semi final. We are getting quite excited about

this. It is actually only a semifinal. A good start in the

centre, probably the best from Christian Sprenger of Australia.

Ross Murdoch going well in the blue hats. Adam Peaty normally comes back

in the second half. Christian Sprenger looks strong. Adam Peaty is

coming back and he gets it. 2-macro swimmers supped 27 going into the

final. The fastest being the world record holder, Cameron van der

Burgh. And that is a new British record for Adam Peaty. Ross Murdoch

was third. Joe Welstead, of Scotland, in full. I believe that

all four of them will be in the final. Adam Peaty doing a great

job. His reaction time, 0.56, the best of the field. I think he was

slipping water a little bit. I hate to advise a great breaststroke

swimmer on what to do but the first five metres, it looked like he was

more excited than he was in the 100. A little bit excited. So? I think he

can go quicker. He needs to applied in the first to 20 metres. I hope

they have not written off Christian Sprenger. He had a bad finish. He

should not be finishing like that. Adam Peaty, he is not a shoo-in. It

is going to be a great final. Somebody asked him what Mel had said

after he had won. She said there is no point in squandering it all for a

win. He certainly is not. A new British record for Adam Peaty to win

the second semifinal. I think Richard Funk has just sneaked in.

Sub 28 seconds to make it. We will check. Cameron van der Burgh fastest

into the final. Three Scots men in it. That is going to be a great

final. it. That is going to be a great

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

guys can break the world record tonight. He knows you are coming. It

is getting competitive now. We know each other inside out. It is getting

competitive, but it is good at the same time, pushing breast right

forward. It is great. Important to hang onto the water because it is

incredible splash and dash and come down from the 200 metres. It is a

little bit different from the 200, when you try to keep the stroke

along and keep relaxed. This is about getting to the other end as

quick as you can, splash and dash. If you slip a stroke, that is your

race over. How much do you enjoy the noise? UK Minnesota differently. I

am loving the ground. They are making a great noise. It is what

everybody from the Scotland team is saying, the crowd are doing a

fantastic job. If you saw the semifinals and are wondering when it

is, 8:49pm tomorrow evening. Three Scots in it. When you come back, we

will have the final of the women's 200 metres individual medley. That

features Hannah Miley and Aimee Willmott. Gary.

More splash and dash to come. And now it is from splash to bash. One

of the hottest tickets of the games is the rugby sevens. The medal

matches are later. This is what happened in the semifinals.

The semifinal of the Commonwealth Games. Australia on the left, New

Zealand on the right. He took a little step and that was a seriously

important tackle. It has taken less than 60 seconds to puncture the

golden defence. The defence at sixes and sevens. They stretch them left

and right. Quality play in the breakdown. Very accurate play by New

Zealand. They will be delighted. Ed Jenkins, the skipper, looking to get

the ball away as quickly as possible and that was not as precise as it

might have been but Jesse Parahi you make something out of nothing. He

trundles in under the posts and Australia with what is pretty much

their first attack of the semifinal. DJ Forbes diving over the top and

clearing our bodies. The structure in this New Zealand attack. DJ

Forbes will press the reset button. Tim Mikkelson with the move inside

and he was aware of where he was. Australia need to circulate the

players. That was absolutely the right moment. Perfect

decision-making by New Zealand. Australia have to think about

turnover. Tackle, reload, and try to get over the top of the ball. DJ

Forbes rarely does anything wrong. Gillies Kaka off in search of the

try that would finish it. What a finish. That might be the final. I

think we will have to use the video review system. I felt he controlled

his body near perfectly. It was an outstanding finish by Scott Curry.

This is too big a try not to be absolutely certain. I agree. I

thought he had great control of his body. No messing around. He looks at

it. It is a try. It is the try that secures the final. Scott Curry knows

it. The second semifinal will be between

Samoa and South Africa. Lolo Lui. Samoa breaking through. Samoa

Toloa. It is his eighth try of the weekend. The South African defence

has been splintered. Really taking time to set up the set play. They

have a lot of movement. Four players and movement. Usually Cecil Afrika

can do something and picked the right option. A wonderful sevens try

from Cornal Hendricks. It was beautifully crafted. Absolute

precision. From the training field to the paying field. Cornal

Hendricks will have to play scrum-half. Samoa kick the ball out.

Oh, dear, it is going to be yellow. Cornal Hendricks did very well. I

thought he should have Cornal Hendricks did very well. I

thought he should moved the ball but it means that South Africa are out

to a lead. Look at that step and go. Cornal Hendricks up to the halfway

line. He gets the support from Francis Horne. And a lovely switch

by Cornal Hendricks. Stretching the Samoan defence. Christopher Dry runs

towards the posts. We have seen some scintillating tries and that has

been one of the best today. Samoa, a great off-load. The tackle by Kyle

Brown. Look out quick. A great turnover ball. Look at the support.

Stand up if you are turnover ball. Look at the support.

Stand up if you watching at home, we are watching great play. Cecil

Afrika. Always does something special when he is on the pitch.

Especially when he comes off the bench.

South Africa are playing some great rugby here.

here at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, here at Ibrox Stadium.

So, the top two ranked teams in the world will compete for the final.

Australia versus Samoa for the bronze will be on BBC Three at about

9:15pm. And we will show you the match between New Zealand and South

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

We have just had the medal ceremony, this three Aussies on the podium for

the men's 100m freestyle final. Lots of questions coming in about

swimming. Laura Elliott says, what is the secret to getting a swimming

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

of people wearing two swimming hats, one is because the bullet hat on top

is very smooth. For girls, it rips your hair out a bit, so they put a

normal one underneath. We do not normally wash our hair for about a

week either! Shelley says, what our nose clips for? They are

predominantly used on backstroke. When you are on your back, water

goes up your nose. Some people do not wear one and have figured out a

technique of breathing so that the water does not go up, but most

people wearing nose clip. We love answering your questions on

swimming. The next race is the final of the women's Para-sport 100m

breaststroke. Marc Woods is in our commentary box, multi-Paralympic

champion. Explain more about this category? The letter S stands for

swimming, the letter B stands for breast Roque and then nine means

level of functionality in the water. The S1 swimmer will have a lot of

disabilities. It goes up to S ten for people who are minimally

disabled. So these guys are swimming breaststroke in the nine category.

They are just parading out for this final. It is the 100m rash stroke --

breaststroke. Catherine Downie of Australia goes

in lane number two. Two gold medals at the London games. Davies of

Scotland is in lane five. I am looking forward to watching her walk

out. She had such a fantastic swim this morning. She said she was

nervous, but she did not look nervous. For a 13-year-old, she came

out, smiled and delivered to qualify second. She is coming out now. 13

years of age, the youngest Scottish competitor in Commonwealth Games

history, not just in the swimming pool. Sophie Pascoe, fastest

qualifier. Commonwealth record holder. I don't think she will get

pushed too hard. It is down to Davies in lane five to see she can

challenge for a medal. There is only one home nations swimmer here,

13-year-old Davies, from the Shetland Islands. She is in lane

five. A big ask to get a medal, but she can do it. A decent start for

the favourite, Sophie Pascoe. Her stroke is incredible for an amputee

with only one leg. It is amazingly symmetric. You can see the power she

has generated with her arms. She is compensating for the fact that she

is kicking from one side. She is counterbalancing with the stump on

her left side. I am not too worried about Erraid Davies being behind at

this point, because she came back fastest in the heat. Pascoe over

first. Scott for Australia over second. Rivard third. Sophie Pascoe

has gone very well. Erraid Davies is starting to come back into medal

contention. Wouldn't it be brilliant if the 30-year-old from Scotland

could get the medal? She is doing a fantastic job, gradually coming back

onto the shoulder of the Canadian. She is looking across to see if she

can get the silver. Sophie Pascoe gets the gold for New Zealand, but

can we get a medal for Scotland in this women's SB9? That is brilliant.

The 13-year-old from the Shetland Islands, in her first Commonwealth

Games, the youngest Scottish athlete in Commonwealth Games history,

winning a bronze medal in this SB9 100m breaststroke. The gold to New

Zealand. That was a fantastic swim. The silver to Australia. 13-year-old

Erraid Davies gets a bronze. Utterly brilliant. You can see what it means

to Sophie Pascoe as well. There is a woman who has won six Paralympic

gold medals. She is one of the most famous swimmers New Zealand have

ever had. I would put her alongside the famous gold medallist from the

1996 Olympic Games. You see the power that Sophie Pascoe generates.

Wonderful slow-mo shots. And Erraid Davies is getting a huge reception

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

human being in my life. Extraordinary. She is so sweet. She

saw herself go past bronze medal position, and she looked across to

see if she could get silver. I loved that. There was no doubt about the

gold model. It has gone to Sophie Pascoe of New Zealand. A wonderful

swim. You had the most amazing face. Your

smile went from ear to ear. Well done. Yeah, I am really happy! It

was a huge PB this morning, and another one tonight. Could you hear

the crowd? Kind of, yeah. I heard them in my last 25. I bet Rebecca,

Mark and Clare were cheering as loud as everybody else. Did you enjoy

your interview this morning? Yeah, I got their autographs as well. Our

mum and what you? Yeah, mum and dad are up there. What are you going to

do to celebrate later? I don't know! Well, that was extraordinary.

Have a lovely time. Well done. What a fantastic performance. Look

at these shots. You get a real sense. It is very rare that you see

a swimmer this young doing so well. She has not had the chance to

compete in any big meets before this. No, she said this morning that

her school friends did not know she was here. So they will have switched

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

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

second quicker than she swam this morning. This morning was a PB. She

has bettered it again. She's going to be a star. She was only two

seconds away from Sophie Pascoe, who has just done the world record. At

13. Couple more years, a bit more strength and training. We move now

to the women's 200m individual medley final, the one that features

Hannah Miley of England. Here is Andy.

So, Aimee Willmott, fourth fastest qualifier for this final silver

medal in the 400 medley. She has a good chance of a medal on this 200.

Here is the champion she took on the hopes of the nation on night one.

She won gold. What a wonderful swim that was. She swam it tactically

brilliantly. Alicia Coutts had a dodgy start to the meat in some

ways. But this morning, she looked really good. This is the one we have

been waiting for for sure for sure Vaughan O'Connor. Great talent, 18

years of age. This is not easy to do. I suppose

the great news... She was the fastest qualifier for the hundred

fly. She swam a lifetime best. So she has done it once before. Fastest

in the world so far this year. The home crowd will be screaming their

heads off for Hannah Miley. Myleene three for Scotland, O'Connor

for England in four, food is frustrating in five. Another

fantastic start for O'Connor. Really using that start. She is

getting well known for that. Sophie is trying to recover from that

illness. Two England swimmers in first and

second right now. Coutts and O'Connor do normally swim very

similar medley races. The difference has so far been there butterfly. But

O'Connor went down so fast on that 50, I hope it was not too fast. I

hope it was controlled. This is the halfway turned. Now it is the 50

freestyle. Now comes Hannah Miley of Scotland. There was a look from

O'Connor to see where Coutts was. Hannah Miley out of shot. A

fantastic swim from Sophie Allen at the top. She has been struggling all

year, and could produce the swim of her life in the outside lane.

O'Connor still leading. The freestyle to come. I can't believe

Coutts will catch this one up. O'Connor looks like she's finally

going to win gold here. I say finally because she got a silver in

the 200 freestyle. She got a silver in the 100 fly, but here, she is

miles ahead. Clearwater between her and Coutts of Australia. Look at the

time. This is stunning. It is gold to England for O'Connor. A wonderful

swim for her. Gold to several Marie O'Connor. The silver to Alicia

Coutts. And the Bronze Star Hannah Miley. Aimee Willmott is

congratulating her team-mate. Siobhan O'Connor, at the age of 18,

a gold, three silvers and a bronze. Siobhan O'Connor starts. First off,

brilliant underwater. And just nailed the butterfly. The rest of

the field could not do anything about it. We thought Coutts might

stay with her. But by the breaststroke, this was over. Hannah

Miley, a brilliant rest straight leg. O'Connor, she was a clear

winner. Siobhan O'Connor winning by about four metres and winning in a

time of 2.08.21, the fastest time in the world this year by over half a

second. That is brilliant. Finally, she has won gold. So close on the

butterfly. What a stunning swim. Fastest in the world by over half a

second. A new Commonwealth Games records to the due champion of the

women's 200 metres butterfly. Hannah Miley, adding to her gold medal with

a bronze medal. Wonderful. You have a collection of silver and bronzes

and now a gold medal. The fastest time in the world this year and a

British record. It was so stressful to me. I was coming into it and

could see it was going to be hard to get a medal because of the strength

with the Australians and the British, and with Hannah, who has

been my role model with swimming. Training with you is incredible. It

was a good race. Tell me, that was gutsy and strong on the last 50, but

why were you swimming 800 freestyle this morning? The main day for me

was on the 400. We thought whatever happens after day one I will swim

each race and try to make finals. It wasn't the smartest idea to do the

800, because it hurt a lot. I do not normally get to race 800 at

international level so I thought, why not do it here? Go and enjoy

your medal ceremony. Straight into the semifinal of the men's hundred

litres butterfly. James Guy, the third fastest qualifier. What a

great freestyle he got. Jayden Hadler. He is in Lane 4. He was

sixth in Delhi. I wonder if this will be his race. The first

semifinal of the men's 100 metres butterfly. Be careful, there is a

very big second semifinal to come. It is stacked.

The first semifinal. England in lanes three and five. That is James

Guy and Adam Barrett. D'orsogna, he has a double. A double used to do.

-- you used to do. A fantastic turner from Adam Barrett. Trading

with Gibson. That squad is flying. It is his international debut. I am

not sure he realises it is adding oughtn't meet! That was a very good

swim. -- an important meeting. He is going to go in the centre lane in

the final of his first international meet. Some great young sprinters

coming out of that programme. It would be great to have a chat with

James Gibson to find out what he is doing. He is reticent, he has his

secrets! He has learnt from the best in France. And learned in Holland.

Gibson turning from a great swimmer into a great coach. James Guy also

swam well. 52.78. He should make the final, as well. Winning by a stroke.

James Guy with the Black Cats finishing in third. -- black cap.

Adam Barrett, of England, a great swim for him. I am sure the first

three will get to the final. You said there was something else to

come. It was better than the swim in the heat this morning. I thought I

would give it more tonight. Hopefully there will be more for the

final. The guys are saying Gibson has some secrets. I cannot give away

the secrets. That is what is making us swim so fast at the moment. It

has been a great meet. Taking on Chad le Clos, which is something. Do

you think you can get in the mix? He is fantastic. It will be a tough

race but I will give everything and see what I can do. It is going to be

fascinating. Grant Halsall, he swam really well, a lifetime best, to

make this. Joe Roebuck must set a lifetime best if he is to make the

final. At 29, I wonder how many more Commonwealth Games he will have

left. Tom Laxton is the Welsh record-holder. Barrett. Can he take

on Chad le Clos? There is a great chance of that. Chad le Clos,

though, is talked about trying to get under 51 seconds. And he will

have to beat this man. He was the Commonwealth Games champion in the

50 metres back in Delhi. Chris Wright, a big Australian. Fourth in

the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. The fastest qualifier. Chad le Clos of

South Africa, the world champion. Nobody will forget when he beat the

great Michael Phelps at the Olympics in London to win the gold medal in

the 200 fly. One of those moments when we were doing stand-up

commentary. We normally sit down. Had to stand up. Chad le Clos,

really interesting, taking on the great Michael Phelps. His career has

flourished since then. Can he go beneath 51? The second semifinal.

Chad le Clos was first up to the surface. It was a decent start. He

is a master of doing just enough to get through whatever he is doing.

Also, enough to win, which he did on the 200. He chatted to Sharon about

that. She was giving him a hard time about looking around. He said he

needed to know where he was and he did not want to give away too much.

He said he liked being in the middle. He is not looking around

just yet. Just having a quick look. He said he wanted to do under 51.

Under 52 would win the gold medal. Checking again to the left and the

right. Seeing the threat from the right, putting more power on. Chad

le Clos wins the second semifinal. 52.10. It means that Adam Barrett

will go into the final fastest on his international debut. He will get

some sleep tonight. Goodness me. That was a playful semifinal. It is

almost like, what's next? Shall we do 1500? 50 breaststroke! He swam

well on the South African relay. He is very talented. Checking over to

the left, all looking at the camera! He saw empty water on his left. And

then towards the right. 50 metres to go, to the left and checking to the

right, where the threat is. Again, another look. He gets in and

finishes. You can only get away with this if you are Chad le Clos. All

you kids at home. The coaches saying, oh no, do not do that. He is

the only person I have seen who can do that well. No one else. The

efforts Chad le Clos put in was about 75%. Joseph Schooling swimming

well to get second. Adam Barrett going in fastest. James Guy made it.

Very good. Very interesting. Tom Laxton just missing out. From the

James Gibson squad. The next race, 100 metres breaststroke. The first

of two semifinals. Ali Atkinson in Lane 4. Two Scots in there. I wonder

how Alea Atkinson will do. She had the opportunity to win the 50 metres

breaststroke. She rushed is a little bit and then the 200 seem to be too

long. Laura Kinsley, what a great opportunity. She carried the baton.

Listen to the Glasgow roar. It is becoming something pretty special.

Sycerika McMahon has been knocking on the door the whole meet. Pickett.

I think it will be a bit too far. She has never really converted. The

fastest lifetime best of all these semifinalists. And now, Katie

Armitage, who set a lifetime best to qualify. The crowd are wonderful.

Atkinson, she is a big, powerful lady, and has a super opportunity to

get a decent lane in the final. This distance suits her. On the 100, she

can slow down a little and stretch out her stroke. Still based in

Florida. She was in Texas and moved to be part of the squad in Florida.

The first semifinal of the women's 100 breaststroke.

Johnston in one. Closest to us is Laura Kinley from the Isle of Man.

Wonderful opportunity for her to be in this semifinal. Very good start

from Atkinson. But I would like her to ease back a bit. This might be

the race of her life, but for me, tone it down a bit. If she continues

at this pace, she could go sub 1.07. She is going for it. The

breaststroke as have developed this shorter kick. Still going well. Tera

van Beilen of Canada also going well in three. That was very tight for

third, fourth and fifth. Atkinson did go sub 1.07. I would

not be surprised, but I think she can go quicker. Instead of 100%, go

98. Good turn, then a big kick. We have got Sophie Taylor of England in

lane four, the fastest on a fire, in the next one. Her best time is only

67.08. I say only, but that is slower than this swim, so she will

have to step that up. She will be aware of this. You do clock what

happens in the race before. You still have to do your own thing.

I would love to see a Jamaican win in the swimming pool. That was a

great time. I would not be surprised if that is enough to win it, but she

has got to do that in the final, something she did not do in the 50m.

She ended up coming second. I know you were disappointed with

that 50, but that looked fantastic. Thank you! Are we hoping for a gold

tomorrow? Yeah, I think it is about time. It would be unusual for a

Jamaican to win in the pool. We would all love to see that. Yet, the

highest we have ever got was third. So even my race in the 50 was the

furthest we have gone. Hello to my aunt, my mum, and cos in. Good luck.

There was another silver medal, but it was in the 1930s. Probably well

before her grandparents were born. So, Chloe Tutton goes in this second

semifinal of the women's 100 breaststroke. Cory Scott, what a

fantastic bronze medal. The crowd are hoping to see her step up again.

Sally Hunter, a silver medal in the 200. Decent lifetime best. She is a

strong 200 swimmer. Sophie Taylor, the best chance she has right now.

Let's see if she can manage the nerves. Disappointed in the 200.

This event, the hundred metres, is well-suited to her. Sophie Taylor

needs to step up. She is good in the first 25.

The second semifinal of the women's 100m breaststroke. Corrie Scott in

two. Chloe Tutton from Wales in seven. Sophie Taylor has a decent

start in the black cap. The best one is coming from the swimmer in the

lane closest to us. Sophie has more work to do than she should have,

really. But Taylor is now asserting herself. The race is at the far end

of the lanes. One two, three, four. Scott, Tonks, Taylor. A very good

turn from Tonks of Australia. Sophie Taylor is starting to come back. She

normally comes back in the second 50 of the hundred. Also going well is

Corrie Scott for Scotland in two in the blue hat. Tonks is leading.

Second is Sophie Taylor in the centre. Very good last 25 for Sophie

Taylor. That was a decent time, just outside her British record. The 200

was not quite so good, but that is much better. Half a second dropped

from her heat swim this morning. I think Taylor is quite relieved. But

I think she can work on this start. She gave about half a second away in

the start. We might notice with some of these swimmers as they come down

in a row, good turn from Taylor. A lot of coaches tell swimmers to did

their heads as they come in, but Tonks and Taylor were not keeping

their heads. There are different ways of doing breaststroke. You

don't have to dip your head. Some people think there is only one way.

Taylor will be going in in silver medal position, with Atkinson the

big threat. Great last 10m of that race. Really strong. It was very

close. Reasonably happy, I think. She will have a centre lane for the

final of the women's 100 breaststroke tomorrow night.

Just before nine o'clock, we have Chris Walker-Hebborn, up against

Liam Tancock Tom the defending champion. After that, Fran Halsall,

who is super fast in the 50m butterfly. And we will also bring

you up-to-date as Erraid Davies receives her silver medal for the

para swimming. She is 13 and from the Shetland Islands. And Hannah

Miley will get her bronze. Now back to Gary.

We will be back at the pool shortly for the remaining three golds to be

won tonight. I am joined this evening by two legend. 12

Commonwealth golds between them. Ian Thorpe and Sir Chris Hoy. You have

wrote your IDE, I presume. Tell everyone that story. In the Sir

Chris Hoy Velodrome, you had to show ID? A lady stopped me, the security

lady. She checked my past. Fair enough, that is her job. We had a

lovely story in the pool this evening. Erraid Davis, 13 years old,

is now trending worldwide on Twitter. -- Erraid Davies. She is 13

years old, the youngest ever Commonwealth gold representative for

Scotland. It is quite a story. It is the bubbly the coolest thing ever, a

30-year-old trending on Twitter. -- 13-year-old. This is a wonderful

result for her. She will be on cloud nine for days. She has to go back to

school, but school is out. A wonderful result. Look at her face.

She trains in a 16.7 metre pool in Shetland. I suppose at that age, you

don't need much more. That is good for maths, if you are trying to add

up. I suppose it again encapsulates how good the games has been for

Scotland. It has been wonderful. The medal table is incredible at this

stage. Hopefully, we can continue that success. These are live

pictures. She is going for her medal ceremony. Wonderful. Well done,

Erraid Davies. Massive applause from the crowd. The crowds have been

brilliant everywhere. They have. It has been a brilliant atmosphere in

the velodrome. Every time you see them on TV, the crowd have gone

wild. This is one of the great things, being in the home nations or

in Australia as well, the sporting public know their sport and they are

happy to support people from all over the world whenever they see

great performances. Look at that medal. Lots more to come, I am much

in the future. A star is born. What an experience. Try to think what I

was doing when I was 13. Riding BMX. I was, to! And Para-sport have

been embraced by the Commonwealth Games as well. It has been brilliant

integration. Yes, in the velodrome, we have had the tandems. Neil Fachie

and Craig MacLean winning double gold. And two Silvers as well, so it

has been great for the Scottish team. Tears all round. That is the

gold medal winner, Sophie Pascoe, from New Zealand. And Erraid,

applauding her rivals. Not easy to clap with a quaich in your hand.

What is that? Traditionally, it is a cup for whiskey. She is too young

for that! It is a traditional Scottish item for passing whiskey

around. Brilliant scenes, and well done, Erraid Davies.

Overall in the swimming, I must say a word on Australia. They have been

phenomenal. They top the leaderboard by a distance. They have been good.

They have not been great. Tonight was the first night where I have

started to see more of the Australian dominance that was

expected. was the first night where I have

started to see more of the They were hoping for 53 medals in the pool.

started to see more of the They were hoping for 53 medals in That is a

lot. After day three, Australia was at 20 medals in the pool. Tonight,

we have caught up a bit but we will not reach 53. Scotland have done

really well. They have done incredibly well. There were big

incredibly well. There were expectations from athletes like

Michael Jamieson, expectations from athletes like

Michael but there are emerging stars like Ross Murdoch and Erraid as

well. There was the one to three from earlier and James Magnusson. He

really needed to perform well in this race. In Australia, there have

been huge expectations of his performances. He should have won in

London. He lost by a hundredth of a second. He has apologised for his

performances throughout his career. He is world champion and defending

world champion. Australia has needed him to win here so that all can be

forgiven and he can move on with his career. The final medals in the Sir

Chris Hoy house were given out tonight. We can queue a musical

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

start. Can they keep it going? The roar goes up around the arena. A

superb ride from them. Sophie Thornhill. Alex Scott on the front

of the tandem. The English tandem is flying. Around the banking for a

final time. 1.5 seconds faster than the Scottish tandem. The gold medal

goes to England. Stunningly quick all the way through.

What a race this will be. Battling it out. It is so close. The

21-year-old takes it for Australia. Jess Varnish with the chance to win

what be her second bronze medal. It is bronze for England and for Jess

Varnish. The all Australian matchup between

Stephanie Morton the rising star and Anna Meares. But she has to win this

race, otherwise Stephanie Morton will be the new Commonwealth

champion. The, world title changes hands.

Glenn O'Shea is right on his wheel. Archibald is being chased by Glenn

O'Shea all the way. Commonwealth champion, Shane Archbold from New

Zealand. Elinor Barker hits the front. Can she hang on and get the

five points? She can. It means Elinor Barker is in the gold medal

position ahead of Laura Trott, by a single point.

The final lap. Elinor Barker, right on the wheel of Katie Archibald. It

is Laura Trott, for England. Laura Trott gets ahead of Elinor Barker

right on the line. Laura Trott takes the Commonwealth title. Bronze for

Katie Archibald of Scotland and silver for Wales and Elinor Barker.

Overall, how do you view it, in London 2012, hugely successful. I

know the teams are split up, but they are not quite as dominant. They

are not. And after Beijing we had a dip. We are good at peaking for the

Olympic Games. You still want to peak for the Commonwealth Games and

a home Commonwealth Games is an important event. There is more

success here. It is not necessarily it is all fantastic in the team.

There is improvement to be made. A lot of people have retired. It is a

rebuilding of the team. New athletes have come in. There is reason for

celebration but more work to be done. Your highlight? Until today,

Craig Maclean and Neil Fachie, that was fantastic. I was equally as

pleased the Katie Archibald. She won a bronze medal, which does not take

the headlines. But she is new on the scene. This is her first individual

medal. She is definitely a star of the future. Laura Trott was already

a star and performed again, despite a problem with her kidney. She is

box office. The public love her. She has that spark. Even when she is not

100%. And she managed to win the gold medal. Australia have topped

that leaderboard, as well. It is good. Not a complete reversal, well,

actually it is, from London. We are winning things again. It was always

going to be difficult for home nations after a London Olympics and

being able to continue in the sport. Some people probably stuck

around a little bit longer than they would, if it was a different city.

This transition was always going to be difficult. I am not sure whether

this is trending worldwide, but there were interesting scenes after

the keirin final. Prichard making a planned proposal. It looks like it

might have been successful. It is not the only proposal in the

Velodrome today. Aileen McGlynn's boyfriend proposed to her. Two

proposals. And to acceptances. It is a guaranteed yes at the Velodrome!

We can hear from the future happy couple.

Congratulations. Explain what you have done. I proposed to my

long-term girlfriend Amanda. Did you see that one coming? I thought, why

is he climbing over the bars? I did not think he would propose. And the

little baby thrilled to see that moment. That is in the memory book.

He was too busy sucking his fingers, he was not that interested! I have

been planning this five, six months. He had not told his mum or dad. It

was top secret. You rode a great keirin. How will you able to

concentrate, knowing you would propose in front of the Velodrome?

It was pushed to the back of the head. I hoped she would say yes. I

thought she would say yes and I put it away, and I thought about what

was going on in the keirin. It was really good. I really enjoyed the

first one. Was it ever in doubt? No, I have been nagging for longer

enough! Let me see the ring. Do you approve? It is stunning. Just like

the one I took a picture of and left on the iPad! I am so proud of him.

How romantic. His cycling did not go so well, I am not surprised,

planning this. I do not know where he kept the ring. Track cycling is

over. Athletics started today, with the marathons on the streets. It has

been a marathon to get it! Here it comes.

Good morning, the first event, the track and field programme, the

marathon. Today, it is quite enjoyable out there. It will be a

great race. What about Steven Way? He was a smoker, he did not have a

good diet and said he was only heading one way. He took up running

and this is him, many miles later. Look at these crowds. That is

fantastic to see. What a brilliant scene. I am sure they are responding

to that. Oh, that is what you have to watch out for. The first time an

Australian goes to the front of the men's race. The women's race, three

have pulled away and continue to do so. This is what his season has been

all about. Now crossing the River Clyde. Strong and powerful. He is

working hard, pushing hard, he has run the perfect race. Today, it is

Daniel's day. She takes the Commonwealth title. It was second

last time for Mike Shelley. It will be glorious goals for the Australian

this time. What a brilliant performance. He is now the

Commonwealth Games champion. Some greater straight years have won in

the past. I am very excited. We have been joined by Steven Way.

He was in the marathon today. He finished 10th. We do not normally

have people in who have finished 10th, but at the same time, yours is

a remarkable story. You turned your life around and went to running a

few years ago. You found yourself in the London Marathon and finished

third, third-highest English man, and therefore you qualified for this

and finished 10th with the fastest time ever by a British athlete over

40 years old. Well done. It has been quite a day. I came into today's

race with personal goals, because, realistically, with my personal best

time, a medal was unlikely. One goal was a top-10 finish and I squeeze

that in bypassing a chap with metres to go. And the other was to get a

personal best, which I did. And I had an eye on the record of Ron

Hill, the veteran's record. Afterwards you said it was as good

as the day you got married, was that wise? I have had a few good days,

northerly revolving around the London Marathon. I always say it is

the best day apart from my wedding day -- normally revolving. That this

was as good as my wedding day. My wife would probably go with it, as

well. The person in front of you in ninth, Derek Hawkins, was being sick

on the final approach, which must have been off-putting. I was not

that focused on him, due to the paid in my legs.

that focused on him, due to the paid in It put me to shame on that front,

because he obviously tried harder than I, if he was being sick. Derek

is a fantastic athlete. He managed to get away. You coach yourself.

Secondly, not long ago, you were 16 and a half stone. About 16. You

described your life as quite a lot of drinking, a lot of smoking and a

lot of late night kebabs. How many? You turned it around. What changed?

I was a typical middle-aged couch potato with no sporting activity. I

like my TV watching, takeaway meals. I was a heavy smoker. Most

weekends involved getting pretty drunk. It got to the stage when I

was 33 when my weight had ballooned to the state where you look at

yourself in the mirror and you are not too sure you like what you are

looking at. The smoking had started to take affect. I was having

coughing fits in the night. I reached the point where I needed to

do something. It is fantastic that... I have the necessary genes

to allow me to get so far, but the great thing about running is the

more you do of it, the better you get. It does not matter where your

genes get you on that front, everybody has scope for improvement.

All you need to do is get out and running regularly and you will see

improvement. You will be surprised how many people when they find an

exercise they enjoyed, it is a good form of addiction to take over from

smoking. It is inspiring. It can be any sport. Phil Jones, he lost 14

and a half stone, he watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics in

London. He said he was sitting there with cider, pizza and chips and

something clicked in his head, enough. He got down to just over 11

stone. He turned it around. In the previous Commonwealth Games we have

someone who was a swimmer. He was really out of shape and wanted to

get back into form, wanting to lead a healthy lifestyle. When you hear

stories like this, we talk about the impact on people's lives, we can see

the positive impact on the broader community, as well. Steve, one final

question - will you be celebrating tonight or is social Steve Karelia

out of the window? He's still there. I let him out of the box now and

again and in scenarios like this, he does get allowed out for a bit so I

may have had a couple of points earlier this afternoon. We will

allow that! Can I just say, congratulations to Mr Shelley who

won the marathon today? No, you can't! It was against the run of

what was expected and it was a fantastic run. Australian, though!

We've got to go back to the swimming but thank you, all of you. Great to

have you here. Back to Clare Balding.

A fantastic story here, everyone still reacting to Erraid Davies, the

13-year-old, Scotland's youngest ever competitor in the camera games.

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor has won a gold medal in the 200 metres

individual medley. Hannah Miley took the bronze but at 18, Siobhan-Marie

O'Connor is one of the youngest members of the England team here and

she did it in stunning style on a really fast time. It was a new

British record, a new Games record and this is just the start for her,

you feel. REBECCA ADLINGTON: I've been

impressed with her all year. She's been racing nonstop. It is her fifth

medal of this Championships. She's got the relay to come so she could

equal the most medals in one meet. the final that we have been waiting

for because it is a stunning race to come and another chance for

England, possibly, to win a gold medal because Chris Walker-Hebborn

qualified very fast for this. Not the fastest, with a Welsh competitor

and the defending champion Liam Tancock.

COMMENTATOR: This is going to be fascinating. Here is the 100 metres

backstroke champion. It is wide open because Liam Tancock has already

been presented, I believe. As he? They're going across the board.

Chris Walker-Hebborn in five, the fastest qualifier, from Australia in

number four. Marco Loughran has a super chance of a medal here. A 50

metre backstroke - anything can happen. The class of the field, the

experience on the field, is this gentleman, Liam Tancock, the world

record holder in 50 metres back drug. Can he come back from a really

nasty injury? -- 50 metres backstroke.

To get that equal bronze medal with Josh Beaver in six was fantastic. It

is quite wide open. We both believe this could go anywhere. It would be

great to see Chris Walker-Hebborn. I think he'll be fired up by seeing

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, his partner, get her medal. If I was neutral,

which is hard to do, I want to give it to Ben Treffers a little bit. He

missed out on the 2009 worlds, 2010 Delhi. His qualification in 2012 was

out by a 10th of a second. Ben Treffers gets the gold for

Australia. Mitch Larkin gets the silver down in seventh and the

bronze has gone to Liam Tancock up in lane two. So it is four, seven

and two. Not easy to call! What a brilliant bronze medal for Liam

Tancock. He has two bronze medals now, coming back of that injury.

What a tough, tough guy he is. I am pleased. I know you front of me when

I said I wanted the Aussie to do well but Ben Treffers has had such a

hard luck story in the last few years, missing out on the teams.

He's repeating the feet of his father, Mark, who got a gold medal

swimming for New Zealand in the 1974 Commonwealth Games in the 400

medley. I don't know if you saw the finish of Mitch Larkin. He stuck his

head up right before the finish just at the back. The margin of victory

is small. Liam Tancock - another bronze

medal, and he is on his way back. Chris Walker-Hebborn just outside

the medals in fourth. Marco Loughran sixth. Wow! We did say before the

race, anything can happen and you can get a medal from anywhere and

the medals coming from lanes four for the gold, seven for the silver

and two for the bronze. I'm really looking forward to this one, the

women's 50 metres butterfly. Fran Halsall was by far the class of the

field in the semifinals and after the 50 freestyle, surely she can do

the sprint double. I'm with you put up I think we will see lane forget

the gold medal again. Here is Alicia Coutts. We've just had her on the

medal podium. She's composing herself again for another race. She

will be in lane eight. Amy Smith representing England and a

26-year-old. I say 26, she's just turned 27 this week. So the winner

of the 100 metres fly, the fourth fastest qualifier for this final.

Here is Arianna Vanderpool Wallace of the Bahamas who was fourth on the

50 metre freestyle. Here is Fran Halsall. Unless something really

horrible happens, she will have an utterly wonderful new Commonwealth

Games record, a British record and a new Commonwealth record. She is the

defending champion. Brittany Elmslie of Australia could be one to watch

in lane three. As long as Fran concentrates on her own race, it

should be a gold to Fran Halsall. People have been quite keen to see

if she had her hot pants on. There is talk about what they do for the

swimmers but I think Fran Halsall is in prime position to do the double.

Arianna Vanderpool Wallace in lane five had a fantastic start. Look at

the world record, though. That was set on July the 5th of this year.

But I think for Fran to get anywhere near the low 25s would be fantastic.

Fran Halsall has got it. The time, 25.20, is another British and

Commonwealth record. Gold again to Fran Halsall and what a double. The

50 freestyle and now the 50 fly. Never been done before. Brilliant

swimming! Goals to England, silver to Arianna Vanderpool Wallace, and

it was much closer than I thought, and the bronze to Brittany Elmslie

of Australia. She pushed it all the way but frankly, I thought, Fran, if

she pulled out every single piece of training and focus on the process,

she would have got that. The breathing was perfect. The last 50

metres, heads down, didn't take a breath. She kept the struggle low on

to the surface of the water. Hands placed perfectly. Arianna Vanderpool

Wallace did not give in. A great silver medal for the Bahamas. Fran

Halsall is the fastest woman in the water at these Commonwealth Games.

Freestyle and fly, a brilliant double. I watched her getting out of

the water and I have to say, she smiled every time she popped her

head up, a knowing smile, knowing she has done something no woman has

ever done before. Commonwealth champion, a new games record. Look

at that - brilliant! You've just done something no one

else has ever done and you are whingeing about having to go for a

test! Bat was great! That was really good. There was a tendency to fly in

the final and slid water. I didn't want to do that. Another personal

best - I can't complain. And in control, the whole race. It wasn't

particularly tight. You don't know, though, do you, on flight? You are

looking forward I couldn't feel any one's presence. I'm just so happy

with how things are going and it has been a good couple of days.

Wonderful for James Gibson, your coach. You touched on it earlier how

important he is for you. The fact that James swam - we are quite the

same which means we quash a lot of things but he knows me. -- we clash

on a lot of things. He knows some of the things I went through and he has

coached a love that champions so I have every faith in him. You need to

believe in what I coached us and how they think about things and their

drills and skills. I have every faith in James. He's a great coach

will top you had an amazing time. You still got the phrases to come

and for the right price, I've got some great stories on him if you

ever need them! Thank you. I need some in case he gives me a hard

session! CLARE BALDING: Fran Halsall paying

tribute to hurt team led by James Gibson. We are about to see Liam

Tancock get his bronze medal for the 50 metres back but for Fran

Halsall, the first woman ever to do the sprint double. She deserves it

so much because she's had to battle with a lot.

MARK FOSTER: The 50 metre fly was only introduced in 2002 so it hasn't

been there for a long time. She's had a few disappointments. The

Olympic Games was a disappointment, coming forth, but she changed

trainer to James Gibson. Let's give this man his moment, Liam Tancock.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE World record-holder Liam Tancock

winning bronze in this 50 metre backstroke, adding to the bronze

medal he won in the 100. Delighted for him for top is the world

record-holder and some expected him to win the gold but he has had

injury, had some time out and is now back on the medal podium. Well done,

Liam. Silver on the men's 50 metre backstroke goes to Mitch Larkin. If

he hadn't stuck his head up on the finish line he could have snatched

the gold! Very fast finishing by Mitch Larkin. He was behind Ben

Treffers. -- You were feeling particularly sorry

for this young gentleman before the race started so you must be happy

he's won the gold! As a swimming on server and a neutral, Ben Treffers

missing out on three Australian teams by hundredths of a second and

tenths of a second, disappointed not to get to London, and he is

repeating a feat that his father did in 1974. A shorter event - his

father was a 400 meter Commonwealth champion. The 400 medley and the 50

back are different animals. It's in the genes. His father won a medal in

the 1500 freestyle. That is a different lifestyle.

the genes. His father won a medal in the 1500 freestyle. That is So

powerful. , most champion in the men's 50 metres backstroke is Ben

Treffers of Australia. -- Commonwealth champion.

world stage, wins bronze. The gold has gone to Ben Treffers of

Australia. A super swim from him. Gary Lineker: More Australian gold

and silver. Liam Tancock proudly displaying his bronze medal. Another

fascinating evening in the ball. Wonderful scenes. -- in the swimming

pool. Erraid Davies, earlier we saw her with her medal. Clare

pool. Erraid Davies, earlier we saw preparing for the highlight showed

that she does later on. Make sure you see that later. In the meantime

I will talk with Mark Foster and Rebecca Adlington. Mark, a

tremendous performance from Fran Halsall, a first in the sprint

double. What is lovely is that she has had a few years when it has not

gone so well and there has been a huge shift. We talk about the

performances, but the coaches make a difference. She has been with James

Gibson for two years, he has been world and Commonwealth Games

champion himself. He trained in France. He coached in Marseille. His

influence in the swimming pool and her mental state. At first she did

not buy into the trading much, but now she is flying again. Rebecca, I

understand she has been helped by Steve Peters, the sport

psychologist, who was involved with the England football team. A member

of his team has been working with Fran Halsall. I think she needed

it. I worked with a sports psychologist and it made a huge

difference. Especially to someone like Fran Halsall, who had a

disappointing Olympics. She got a bronze of the World Championship,

but not the result she was after. Come here and do that will be a

confidence boost. She will continue to use the sport psychologist up

until Rio. It is important, the mind. You can be athletically

talented, but if the mind is not right at the same time, it is not

going to work. Do you think that has been a significant difference for

her, it was the mental side she had to improve? Ten Commonwealth Games

medals now. It must've made a shift. It is like a table. She is the table

top. You need a coach, the sport psychologist, they are the table

legs, which you need in the right place. She seems to have everything

set in the right place. She has not moved anywhere. James Gibson came in

for her. I can put it down to the fact these components are right. She

said in the interview how much the team got her to where she is and she

faxed them all on Twitter. Every single person -- she thanked them.

She is only 24. You think she has been around for ever. She was on the

scene at 16. Potentially, I am not saying she will do, I sprinted, I

did not retire until 38 so she could keep going for a long time. We saw a

stunning performance from Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. She won by a

Street. This is her favourite event. She has four medals from

relays, the butterfly, but this is what she wanted to do. And Hannah

Miley, getting the bronze medal, she used the back end of the race.

Siobhan raced perfectly. She has the best start. Her skills are

incredible. She has been getting silver and bronze medals, but this

meant the world. She had a moment on the podium, it was emotional for

her. I talked about it at the Olympics, when Rebecca was going to

give up, and Joe Jackson went. Overnight, half the team retired.

There was a gap to fill. We have seen here, not just from Fran

Halsall, Siobhan O'Connor, they are the next generation. Becky left a

legacy. The star of the show, Erraid Davies, winning the bronze medal. We

cannot get tired of seeing her face. She was so happy. She spoke to us

this morning. It was lovely to have her. She did a four second personal

best to get to the final and she improved again. She is only 13. Her

school friends did not know she was here. The coach and family were the

only ones. The family are here and she got to see her parents and give

them a hug. She promised she would be back with a medal. I think her

celebration, in her quaich, there will be ice cream!

We can join Adrian and Andrew. We have seen Malaysia in lane eight

and England in lane seven. Goodness me. Listen to the crowd for team

Scotland. They have changed their team from the heats. Robbie Renwick,

the big anchor. Third fastest qualifiers for this final. South

Africa have a good team. Chad le Clos will go second with Sebastien

Rousseau third. The change with Chad le Clos will make it competitive for

the Scottish team. Cameron McEvoy, leading off his team. They have

taken out Horton, who is a super relay swimmer. South Africa will

have Devon Brown as the lead-off swimmer. This is going to be a

fabulous race. Australia are favourites. The silver and bronze

are tough to call. Calum Jarvis, the bronze-medallist in the individual

freestyle, expect him to Garret quickly. -- expect him to go out

quickly. Fraser took a while to get down

there, but it is a decent start. Already going very well for

Australia, as expected, Cameron McEvoy. He needs to make sure he's

stretches this out. A beautiful stroke. Him and Magnussen, they

have. Somebody has to make a move.

Somebody will definitely make a move and I will imagine it will be now.

It is the halfway mark. They are still in a line. The lead-off leg

for England, Nick Granger had a back problem recently. Going well.

Scotland are leading. Daniel Wallace is fired up for this. His gold medal

moved the nation and if he can give a lead against the Australians.

Cameron McEvoy struggling down the last 20 metres. Calum Jarvis,

winning the first leg for Wales. What a swing that is. A decent

lead-off. Wallace swimming well. A super start on the second leg. Chad

le Clos starting to take over in the green hat. He is no stranger to

pressure. He is very capable of looking left and right on this

stroke. The Australian, in the relay, he is doing a mammoth job. He

has brought them back into contention. The Scots are in third.

South Africa, with Australia starting to catch up. Chad, looking

a little bit tired. He is such a fighter, I cannot believe he will

let the Australians catch him too much. Chad le Clos just about

leading for South Africa. Stephen Milne for Scotland is third. Chad le

Clos struggling to hold on. The Australian's stroke rate increasing.

Brilliant from Stephen Milne. He is overtaking Chad le Clos. This is

super stuff. The halfway mark, very exciting. Australia have just taken

the lead. It looks like Scotland may be in second place with the blue

hat. That is a super swim so far. Duncan stood -- Duncan Scott.

Scotland could be pushing for the title. What a brilliant turn from

Duncan Scott. If this young man can bring Robbie Renwick any form of

chance, he will have a go. Sebastien Rousseau, but battler for South

Africa, keeping an eye on where he is. Australia were over first. This

is very close. A very good turn for the Scots. Duncan Scott, with the

blue hat. The medals must be going to these three. Duncan Scott, he is

starting to catch up on the Australian. This is fascinating.

Scotland just about second. Sebastien Rousseau third for South

Africa, but it is tight. The Australian is struggling. Sebastien

Rousseau looks strong and powerful. It is a great swim by Duncan Scott.

The crowd is going knots. They are on their feet. -- nuts. It looks

like first, South Africa. Just behind is Scotland. The lead, half a

second. Thomas Fraser-Holmes of Australia in third. He is a good 200

metres freestyle swimmer. This will be tight. Robbie could not replicate

his form on the individual race, but he has the chance to vindicate

himself. A big ask for Robbie Renwick. Thomas Fraser-Holmes,

turning it on. A great pattern of breathing in the last length. When

they repeat this, Robbie Renwick will be able to see where Thomas

Fraser-Holmes is. This is where he needs to stay with him. Robbie

Renwick is a good 400 metres swimmer. Robbie Renwick, with the

blue hat, having a go at Australia. Scotland changed their swimmers from

the heats. Robbie Renwick is having a go at Thomas Fraser-Holmes of

Australia. HAS THOMAS FRASER-HOLMES GONE OFF TO

QUICKLY? Look at the legs, like our boat

motors. Thomas Fraser-Holmes is giving it everything. The crowd are

on their feet, the roof lifted off. Can Robbie Renwick get a medal? I

think he will get the silver. A silver would be great for Scotland

but he is getting tired. It is going to be Australia's gold medal. It is

Australia with the gold-medal. Scotland have a wonderful silver

medal, an absolutely wonderful medal for Scotland. A bronze to South

Africa. Goodness me! Four super heroes from Scotland in this event.

Stunning stuff. Gold to Australia, silver to Scotland, bronze to South

Africa. It wouldn't surprise you to know that was a Scottish record. By

a mile! 7.14.4 row. -- 7.14.40. Goodness me! The history of Scottish

teams in this event is really stunning. They stand up and produce

it, don't they? What a wonderful team effort. Dan Wallace led them

off really well. His split time was 1.47.3. For a medley swimmer, that

is a stunner. Really good. That is the American head-to-head stuff. He

loves a race. The other swimmers had great times as well. Consistent, all

contributing to the cause. Thomas Fraser-Holmes at the end - just too

much. He was two seconds off Robbie. David McEwan and Thomas

Fraser-Holmes did stand-up. The two men of Australia who were capable of

1.45s did it. I am still marvelling at that Scottish team! To be so

close to Australia. He had enough energy to leap up and

give a high five to his team-mates at

He had enough energy to leap up and give a high five to his the end.

That was a powerful, very, very good swim from Thomas Fraser-Holmes. He

knew he'd won it and he got it 50 metres ago. He punches the air and

then leaps up to the congratulations of the three other relay members.

There they are. So the final race on the fourth night of swimming here at

Tollcross... I'm absolutely exhausted! Australia winning this

event in a new Commonwealth Games record. Super for Scotland to get

the silver and South Africa the bronze.

Well done, guys who stop everybody in this stadium was on their feet

screaming. What a week you had! Yes, another great performance from the

whole team. We were really well-prepared and happy for

everyone. We are really tight for time but we desperately want to

speak to you. You were a bit disappointed with your own 200, I'm

sure, but this was amazing. It certainly made up for it. It's been

a tough few days and to get a silver medal with these boys has been the

highlight. The highlight of the game so far for me. It's fantastic. And

you guys are the future of 200 meter freestyle swimming, as well. I hope

so! It's been great to be part of this. We've had such a great games

so far. To share a medal with these boys is an real. I'm so happy. Do

you know all the words later when you stand up there and let your

silver medal? I know the words, yeah, so I should be OK! It will be

the Aussies but in four years we will get their!

I think they will all be singing to you regardless because you were

extraordinary. Well done. Great stuff. Brilliant in the pool

again. Thanks to all the team at the swimming. BBC Three are now showing

a men's Squash semifinal featuring England's James Willstrop. And on

the red button now, there is hockey, England versus Malaysia. But we're

heading to Ibrox for the conclusion of what has been a sensational rugby

sevens competition. The challenge could not be more stark for

Scotland. That may well be enough. Scotland have been beaten. It's been

a perfect first half for Wales. This is the moment for Wales. No words

needed to express Welsh pain or Australian joy. Magnificent! Samoa

lead by a single point. Australian joy. Magnificent! Samoa

lead by a single Samoa Toloa the turn England on the third time of

asking. Most sports have one dominant team and this is it in

sevens. Two great days at Ibrox. Big crowds, big hits, big tries, big

drama. New Zealand are the favourites, the four times

champions, and have not lost a match since the event was introduced in

1998. Tonight they face South Africa. Let's join John Inverdale

for a very special occasion. A vibrant and very excited Ibrox is

anticipating what we hope will be a grand conclusion to what has been a

really fantastic event. A world record crowd for a two-day sevens

competition, it within excess of 180,000 people. What we want, and

they deserve, is a final fit for the occasion. We've got the two teams to

give us that because they are the best, without doubt. They've been

the best all season in the World Series so it is set up

fantastically. Two very contrasting styles. It will be interesting to

see, especially now that the rain has come down a bit heavier, whether

it's its New Zealand better than South Africa. I think they will be

taking it right up the middle, the Kiwis. You got to watch out for the

South African boys. They are just class players. The New Zealanders

have been fantastic. What a structure. They take the ball in,

create off sidelines and they don't make many mistakes. This famous

stadium has seen many great nights. Eric Liddell actually ran here in

the 1920s. Jim Walsh defended a world boxing crown here in the

1980s. There have been so many great sporting event is going back

countless years but never an evening like this, I don't think. A unique

occasion, 50,000 people in here for the conclusion of this rugby sevens

competition. The gold medal at stake. Simon Mannix and Nick Mullins

will describe it for you. COMMENTATOR: South Africa will get

us under way. Is it a black story to continue or are bottle green is

going to have a word to say? They are team who, right across the

field, have the power, the ability, to play a real power game. The speed

game we've spoken about already. They have some outstanding players.

New Zealand really have written the book on how to play this game in

recent years. Not completely unbeatable but, in the big moments,

so often they step up and I been World Series champions a dozen times

over the last 15 years and they've always been the champions at the end

of these Commonwealth Games tournaments. That's the steepness of

the mountain South Africa are trying to climb here but we've seen all

weekend that they've got the big sturdy boots on and they've

certainly got pace and guile. I've been so impressed with Cornal

Hendricks. Here he is in the rain. The skipper Kyle Brown is finding a

cute little angle but it was read by the New Zealand defence. They had

battled hard enough on the floor to win it back. New Zealand are a very

strong team. It's all about lamb down the outside. -- Ben Lam.

A couple of minutes into this 20 minute final... Because it is the

final, there are an extra three minutes for each half. That is

obviously a shoulder they are treating and you wonder... Well, the

coaching staff will be worried about that. Kyle Brown is so important to

the side. Short listed for the world player of the year this season, won

eventually by Fiji's Sammy very, -- by a Fijian player. By the time Fiji

were readmitted to the common wealth games, it was too late for them to

play in this tournament. I think it was in his falling that he braced

his body with the right arm. He almost seemed to hyper extent

himself at the end of it. He has been thrown around like a rag doll.

You can see here, as he goes down, once he is extended, you can see the

Iago flat and he is in a lot of pain. Picked up by his own

team-mates. One of the features of this whole

weekend, while we wait for Kyle Brown to get sorted, has been this

place, Ibrox. It has been the centrepiece of what has been a

magnificent weekend. It's been part of this city's landscape since the

end of the 19th century. 1899 the stand we are sitting in started to

be built. Much of what we see today, as we move around to the

right, was largely renovated in the last 20 years. But this stadium and

the 50,000 who have filled it for all four sessions have made this one

of the more memorable Commonwealth Games sevens tournaments. I think

the final figure for the four days is 171,000, which is a new sevens

record for two days. It's good to see Kyle Brown on his feet. It's a

less good to see him nursing that shoulder the way he is. It's always

unfortunate, just in terms of this bet to go, to lose the captain, but

there is so much experience in the South African side that the

individuals will step up and take responsible at it. A big loss for

South Africa, though. He has had an outstanding tournament, outstanding

work in the last two days from the captain. I hope that shoulder injury

is not too serious. They're going to have to do without the skipper.

Cecil Afrika there quickly to release Branco du Preez.

Ben Lam got there in the end but it was cleverly kept alive by the

determination of Frankie Horne. Here he is again, broad shoulders.
