:00:53. > :01:04.in full stride. This evening, we have got the best of both worlds. A
:01:05. > :01:15.long haul in the pool. The shortest race in the track. Endurance,
:01:16. > :01:26.speed, staying power, explosive power. Eight minutes in the water,
:01:27. > :01:39.ten seconds on dry land. But the goals remain the same. Gold.
:01:40. > :01:49.Tonight, it is a marathon... And a sprint.
:01:50. > :01:57.And it promises to be quite a night as another glorious day in Glasgow
:01:58. > :02:00.reaches a stunning climax. I am delighted to say the good weather
:02:01. > :02:04.has returned just in time for the first evening session in the
:02:05. > :02:11.athletics, but we will be starting in the pool.
:02:12. > :02:21.Jazz Carlin from Wales is favourite for the lung busting women's 800m
:02:22. > :02:24.freestyle. England's Adam Peaty is going for
:02:25. > :02:33.his second gold in the somewhat shorter 50m breaststroke.
:02:34. > :02:35.On the track, three-time Olympic gold medallist Veronica
:02:36. > :02:41.Campbell-Brown will be giving it both barrels in the 100m.
:02:42. > :02:46.Going for England in the men's sprint is Adam Gemili, the fastest
:02:47. > :02:49.qualifier. But the quickest in the field as
:02:50. > :03:00.Trinidad and Tobago's Richard Thompson.
:03:01. > :03:03.We will be skipping between athletics and swimming predominantly
:03:04. > :03:06.this evening, but if you want to watch uninterrupted coverage of
:03:07. > :03:10.either track and field or swimming, they are available on the red
:03:11. > :03:14.button. The choice is yours. As always, every sport picking places
:03:15. > :03:18.available online and there is BBC Three if you want to watch
:03:19. > :03:22.gymnastics and rock singer. Let's head to Hampden now for all world
:03:23. > :03:28.with Michael Johnson. Good evening. The 100m final is coming up. Men
:03:29. > :03:31.first, and Adam Gemili qualified quickest this morning in the heats,
:03:32. > :03:37.but you were not overly impressed yesterday. Yeah, I think he will
:03:38. > :03:41.turn it up. I was not impressed with his race. He did not look as clean
:03:42. > :03:46.from a technical standpoint as he has in the past, but I was
:03:47. > :03:50.encouraged by his comments after the 100m. He said he knows he has to
:03:51. > :03:54.turn it up in the semifinals tonight. And I think he will. A lot
:03:55. > :04:01.of the guys were a bit sluggish yesterday. It was the first day out.
:04:02. > :04:05.The weather was not great. I expect that the semifinals and the final
:04:06. > :04:09.will see some improved time. Is it hard to strike a balance between
:04:10. > :04:15.making sure you qualify and conserving enough energy for the
:04:16. > :04:18.final if you make it? If talking about the 400m, I would say it is
:04:19. > :04:26.very difficult to strike that balance. These 100m runners, most of
:04:27. > :04:31.them run the 200m. Adam Gemili is a very good 200m runner. There is no
:04:32. > :04:36.conserving for the 100m. At the Commonwealth Games, we had one round
:04:37. > :04:40.yesterday and two rounds today, which these guys are accustomed to.
:04:41. > :04:47.At Olympic level, there are four rounds, so I don't think that is a
:04:48. > :04:52.factor. A lot of these guys needed to blow out the cobwebs. Sometimes,
:04:53. > :04:55.you find that when you start to prepare, you have not raced for a
:04:56. > :05:04.couple of weeks. So it does take a bit of an adjustment to complete
:05:05. > :05:10.100%. Once they have blown those cobwebs away, who will come out with
:05:11. > :05:15.the gold medal? I am really excited about this final, because it is very
:05:16. > :05:17.evenly matched. We talk about the people who are missing, but what I
:05:18. > :05:20.like about the people here is people who are missing, but what I
:05:21. > :05:23.like that there is no clear favourite. Richard Thompson from
:05:24. > :05:29.Trinidad and Tobago has the fastest time of all of the guys in the race,
:05:30. > :05:38.with 9.82 this year. But he did not look good yesterday, so we will see.
:05:39. > :05:46.All of the Jamaicans are running well, so those guys should figure
:05:47. > :05:49.into it. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey will have a difficult time, but Adam
:05:50. > :05:57.Gemili could really figure in the medals. And for the women? Same
:05:58. > :06:04.thing. It is very competitive. Veronica Campbell-Brown will have
:06:05. > :06:09.her hands full with her Jamaican compatriot. She will also have a
:06:10. > :06:17.difficult time with Blessing Okagbare, who is running really well
:06:18. > :06:26.and right now. Unfortunately, Michelle R out, who had the fastest
:06:27. > :06:29.time. We will see. Let's head to the Tollcross swimming centre across
:06:30. > :06:34.town for a look ahead to another exciting night by the pool with
:06:35. > :06:37.Clare Balding. Mark Foster and Becky Adlington are
:06:38. > :06:41.alongside me, and in the audience, we have the Duke and Duchess of
:06:42. > :06:47.Cambridge and Prince Harry. You are excited about that! Let's talk about
:06:48. > :06:49.Jazz Carlin. She would be the fastest qualifier and favourite for
:06:50. > :06:55.the second of our finals in your event, the 800m free. Such an
:06:56. > :07:00.exciting race. Jazz had a couple of tough years, so she will want to get
:07:01. > :07:08.that gold medal. It would be the first gold for a Welsh woman for
:07:09. > :07:20.about 40 years. Your second quiz question is, who was it? It was 40
:07:21. > :07:25.years ago. Hannah Miley has two finals tonight. Hannah is not
:07:26. > :07:32.traditionally the best 800 freestyler, but she's definitely
:07:33. > :07:38.suited to the distance. I would not rule her out. There is also Camilla
:07:39. > :07:44.Hattersley of Scotland. You just saw the line-up for the men's 200m
:07:45. > :07:48.backstroke. We have two Scots and a Welsh swimmer in this. We could be
:07:49. > :07:53.seeing an Aussie want to prefer the medals. Let's join our commentators.
:07:54. > :08:05.The pool is absolutely hopping. I could only just hear you, Clare!
:08:06. > :08:09.This is going to be fascinating. A relatively partisan Scottish crowd
:08:10. > :08:15.have been wonderful so far. But they have an enormously loud. Mohammed of
:08:16. > :08:28.Wales is in his first major individual final. Craig McNally swam
:08:29. > :08:34.a strong heat. Last year, he was the fastest ranked in the Commonwealth.
:08:35. > :08:44.He was selected for 30 minutes rule -- for the team in April. He will be
:08:45. > :09:06.next to his compatriot, Ryan Bennett. It is going to be
:09:07. > :09:21.fascinating. Josh Beaver was the fourth fastest qualifier. Cory Main
:09:22. > :09:30.maybe the spoiler for the medals. Matson Lawson, number nine in the
:09:31. > :09:38.world this year. And the new Commonwealth world record-holder,
:09:39. > :09:43.Mitch Larkin. Can he turn his silver medal in the hundred into gold with
:09:44. > :10:01.the 200. He has been looking good so far, but we don't know. It is down
:10:02. > :10:07.to McNally to break the Aussie grip. If it is a really good head to
:10:08. > :10:14.head, we have seen Craig McNally go very well indeed. He took on Ryan
:10:15. > :10:18.Lochte in the World Championships and beat him in the semifinal. This
:10:19. > :10:25.is the final of the Commonwealth Games 200m backstroke. All three
:10:26. > :10:36.Games 200m backstroke. All Australians relatively slow to
:10:37. > :10:39.start, interesting. You can't go further than 15 underwater. Adrian,
:10:40. > :10:42.I was going to ask you about tactics. Look at Larkin. He is very
:10:43. > :11:10.good on the 50, we know that. McNally will be lucky to get podium,
:11:11. > :11:12.but still could. He is leaving himself a lot to do, Craig McNally.
:11:13. > :11:19.but still could. He is leaving He was the fastest Commonwealth
:11:20. > :11:29.swimmer. Looks like it may be likened to turn first. No, it is
:11:30. > :11:33.Main first, Beever third. I think McNally will have a go, but I am
:11:34. > :11:40.sure he has left it too late. Absolutely. It is now Australia and
:11:41. > :11:51.New Zealand. Australia could Absolutely. It is now Australia and
:11:52. > :11:55.split bike remain, the 19-year-old out of the university of Florida --
:11:56. > :12:14.A fantastic turn from Larkin. Looks like he will get the gold medal he
:12:15. > :12:16.has been looking for. It is going to be an Australia one-two-three-four
:12:17. > :12:23.only the second time in the able-bodied swimming.
:12:24. > :12:29.The Commonwealth champion, Mitch Larkin of Australia. The silver to
:12:30. > :12:39.Josh Beever, the bronze to Matson Lawson. Goodness me, a bit slower
:12:40. > :12:48.than I thought, but what a great swim from the Aussies. They also got
:12:49. > :12:58.a one-two-three in the men's best 900 three. I am pleased with Mitch
:12:59. > :13:02.Larkin. A real talent for Australia. Craig McNally, not sure
:13:03. > :13:10.what was going on with him. Quite a long way outside his best time. His
:13:11. > :13:26.Scottish record would have won that race. There was clear water for
:13:27. > :13:34.Larkin in the end. Main allowed the door to open.
:13:35. > :14:01.Well, one-two-three, and they were a long way ahead.
:14:02. > :14:13.Beautiful shots, those super slow-mos. Do you look at those to
:14:14. > :14:17.help you with technique? Yeah, these guys behind us filming the race will
:14:18. > :14:20.do all the analysis and break everything down for you. They have
:14:21. > :14:24.all this technology where they will just look at a certain part,
:14:25. > :14:32.whatever you want to work on. It is a massive help. Sports science has
:14:33. > :14:37.become such an important part of the training, plus the nutrition. When
:14:38. > :14:39.you look at every invent and break it down into its simplicity, you can
:14:40. > :14:54.make improvements. What are you thinking of this? It is
:14:55. > :15:03.going to be head to head between Jazz and Lauren Boyle. I have raced
:15:04. > :15:09.Lauren Boyle man she is tough. This would be a first major title for
:15:10. > :15:21.Jazz Carlin if she can do it. The 800 is her chosen event. Here is
:15:22. > :15:25.Andy again. Laura Crockart of Australia goes in lane eight, her
:15:26. > :15:29.international debut. This is such a wonderful place to have the
:15:30. > :15:35.youngsters to get them into international swimming. Hannah
:15:36. > :15:40.Miley, a little bit of fun. She's already done her stuff and won a
:15:41. > :15:45.medley gold on race one, day one, took on the hopes of a nation and
:15:46. > :15:51.was utterly brilliant. Two Scots coming into this final. Camilla
:15:52. > :15:54.Hattersley of Scotland, another 19-year-old, third in the Scottish
:15:55. > :16:00.Championships and sixth fastest coming into this Commonwealth final.
:16:01. > :16:10.And a second Aussie, Jessica Ashwood. She's got a pretty fast BB.
:16:11. > :16:19.She is sub eight minutes and 20 seconds. I think there are five or
:16:20. > :16:28.six who think they can do that. Only 1.5 seconds shy of Jazz Carlin's
:16:29. > :16:35.best time. I think Alanna Bowles is strong. Hannah Miley qualified for
:16:36. > :16:46.the 200 final but Alanna Bowles didn't. Here is Lauren Boyle. She
:16:47. > :16:58.and Jazz Carlin ended 2013 tied third for the world rankings, equal
:16:59. > :17:03.to one 100th of a second. Come on, Giles! She needs to keep her head.
:17:04. > :17:07.She had a really good season last year but didn't quite produce at the
:17:08. > :17:11.world Championships. She needs to stay calm, stay focused, make sure
:17:12. > :17:18.she does exactly what she needs to do in terms of the prep and enacting
:17:19. > :17:25.the race plan that she clearly has in her head. She just took off the
:17:26. > :17:31.silver foil lining to keep her warm. We heard about Fran Halsall's hot
:17:32. > :17:34.pants so swimmers are keeping warm. It is a warm environment but they
:17:35. > :17:44.are making sure that things are ready. You can't say with Hannah
:17:45. > :18:03.Miley that you don't expect her to get on the podium, but...
:18:04. > :18:15.16 lengths of this pool in the 800m freestyle. The champion from Delhi
:18:16. > :18:31.has not returned, Becky Adlington, but very fast indeed in the centre.
:18:32. > :18:38.Hannah Miley up at the top there. This is an interesting tactic. A
:18:39. > :18:42.crowd pleaser, I think. She's taking the race out and trying to prove us
:18:43. > :18:45.all wrong and get on the podium. I think the pace is one she will
:18:46. > :18:50.struggle to hold onto but I would love to be proved wrong! Jazz Carlin
:18:51. > :18:54.and Laura Boyle in the centre, four and five. Nearest the camera,
:18:55. > :19:12.holding the pace. Jazz Carlin needs to keep an eye on
:19:13. > :19:22.Lauren Boyle. It is a steady pace set at the moment. She's spent quite
:19:23. > :19:27.a lot of time in Europe prior to coming here. She left New Zealand
:19:28. > :19:33.three months ago and has been training with a former Scottish
:19:34. > :19:35.coach in Paris. She went to Altitude in Spain. Hannah Miley is still
:19:36. > :19:47.leading. Is jazz making a bit of a move? It
:19:48. > :19:54.looks like it. That's very early indeed. She may be just trying to
:19:55. > :19:58.get the first 100m out of the way and then set into a greater rhythm.
:19:59. > :20:00.Jazz is in the white hat at the top of those three readers in the
:20:01. > :20:18.centre. -- three leaders. This is a
:20:19. > :20:21.this race. 200m down and Becky Adlington is up in the presentation
:20:22. > :20:26.position. What are they thinking at this state of the race? They just
:20:27. > :20:31.want to settle into their pace and give its move. I think Jazz is going
:20:32. > :20:38.to use the back 400 because that's what we've seen with Katie Ladera
:20:39. > :20:43.key. She has back ended a lot and she is the world record-holder.
:20:44. > :20:51.It looks like they're dropping off Hannah. It's interesting she's kept
:20:52. > :20:58.up with this pace. I think Jazz is starting to turn it up again. She
:20:59. > :21:13.has got a good second part of the race. Alana Boyd was a very good
:21:14. > :21:22.1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- Alaina Boyle. On 15 turns, it all
:21:23. > :21:26.1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- adds up. It adds up to maybe five
:21:27. > :21:30.1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- six seconds if she's
:21:31. > :21:32.1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- quarters of a second on the
:21:33. > :21:33.1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- Jazz Carlin seems
:21:34. > :21:50.1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- swing bits in the middle. It's great
:21:51. > :21:55.to see Jazz Carlin in a position to maybe get a podium finish. She
:21:56. > :22:01.missed 2012 and was very disappointed to miss London with
:22:02. > :22:04.glandular fever. Coming up to the halfway mark. Jazz Carlin and Lauren
:22:05. > :22:15.Boyle. Jazz Carlin of halfway mark. Jazz Carlin and Lauren
:22:16. > :22:23.slightly better turn from the Black Hat of Lauren Boyle of New Zealand.
:22:24. > :22:26.Lauren Boyle first, Hat of Lauren Boyle of New Zealand.
:22:27. > :22:31.second. It is still wide open for the medals. Coming back quite fast
:22:32. > :22:38.is 16-year-old Alanna Bowles of Australia. It looks like it is the
:22:39. > :22:40.head-to-head that we were expecting. Brittany Maclean not quite dropped
:22:41. > :22:55.that I think these two will face each other right to the end.
:22:56. > :23:04.It's been a long time since Wales got a gold medal in the women's
:23:05. > :23:10.events. 1974. There is a lot of expectation writing here on Jazz
:23:11. > :23:21.Carlin. Again, very tight going into the 500m turn. A slightly better
:23:22. > :23:27.turn from Brittany Maclean. Becky, how do you feel about this now?
:23:28. > :23:32.We've got Brittany Maclean and Jazz Carlin and Lauren Boyle, the three
:23:33. > :23:40.of them - down to the last 50 metres? I'm not sure we can hear
:23:41. > :23:45.Becky at the moment but Jazz Carlin is going well, certainly. This will
:23:46. > :23:49.be interesting if it gets to a head-to-head and possibly the best
:23:50. > :23:55.of those - certainly the fastest sprint - is Jazz Carlin because her
:23:56. > :24:02.200 metres freestyle is very good. She was in the middle on the 200m
:24:03. > :24:07.freestyle. Lauren is just a couple of places above Jazz so both of
:24:08. > :24:14.these swimmers are really quick. Brittany Maclean is in the mix.
:24:15. > :24:20.They're all capable of a really good last 100m. I would like to see
:24:21. > :24:26.Brittany Maclean a little bit further. Sorry, I would like to see
:24:27. > :24:30.Jazz Carlin a little bit closer. That is the 600m turn and this is
:24:31. > :24:34.very close indeed. I wonder when someone is going to make a move. It
:24:35. > :24:40.looks like Brittany Maclean is starting to try to get back on terms
:24:41. > :24:45.for Canada. She hasn't made an impact yet in terms of the position
:24:46. > :24:48.and it will be Jazz Carlin over just first, Lauren Boyle over just second
:24:49. > :25:00.and Brittany Maclean third. Brittany Maclean is now pushing the
:25:01. > :25:07.volume on and I think she's making a move here. Jazz Carlin also wants to
:25:08. > :25:11.put herself into a good position for the last 100 metres.
:25:12. > :25:24.Look in lane number four, Jazz Carlin, swimming from Swansea. She's
:25:25. > :25:28.just taken 0.45 seconds out of the field but turns are not that great
:25:29. > :25:35.and she's gone for it already. She's gone relatively early. Is it too
:25:36. > :25:40.early? She's swimming away. This is very exciting.
:25:41. > :25:47.She's moving over to the left of the lane, trying to get away from Lauren
:25:48. > :25:50.Boyle and got a whole body length ahead and I don't think she would
:25:51. > :25:55.have made this move if she didn't think she could cover it. Using her
:25:56. > :26:00.legs, off the wall, the crowd are going nuts. I think it is going to
:26:01. > :26:06.be a Welsh gold. She is sprinting away down this last 50. She has
:26:07. > :26:11.clearly left quite a lot. She can go faster next time but who cares about
:26:12. > :26:15.next time? This is about the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in
:26:16. > :26:20.2014 and Wales are going to win gold! Jazz Carlin from Swansea takes
:26:21. > :26:24.Wales to gold! She punches the air as she takes gold for Wales. The
:26:25. > :26:28.silver has gone to Lauren Boyle of New Zealand and the bronze to
:26:29. > :26:32.Brittany Maclean from Canada but Wales finally claim a gold medal in
:26:33. > :26:36.the swimming pool and what a brilliant swim it was! Absolutely
:26:37. > :26:45.brilliant. She's broken her personal best. She was not onto that until
:26:46. > :26:53.halfway. The Welsh record is 8.18.36. This is a world record.
:26:54. > :26:58.From the pace she set at 400, to turn around and finish the way she
:26:59. > :27:04.has... Becky Adlington knows a thing or two! She knows what she's talking
:27:05. > :27:10.about. Jazz Carlin must have known she had the strength. She's been
:27:11. > :27:14.training in Australia with but McAllister for a couple of months.
:27:15. > :27:19.She was with him for seven years and decided to go and spend some time
:27:20. > :27:22.with him when he moved back to Australia and she's put the work in.
:27:23. > :27:27.She's in great shape and deserve that gold medal. A really good race.
:27:28. > :27:33.She knew Lauren Boyle was the main threat but was happy to sit there
:27:34. > :27:38.and then open up. Her last 100 was two seconds faster than Lauren
:27:39. > :27:43.Boyle. Two seconds! Lauren Boyle was broken at that point and she was
:27:44. > :27:48.just holding on for that silver medal. We were talking about who is
:27:49. > :27:53.the better sprinter and, in actual fact, Lauren Boyle was the better of
:27:54. > :27:59.the three of them on the 200m freestyle. But look - not even in
:28:00. > :28:06.the picture! Wonder. Full Wales win gold in the swimming pool. The
:28:07. > :28:14.longest women's event, the 800m freestyle. Well done. It's great in
:28:15. > :28:22.terms of tradition to have Becky and then jazz to carry that on. She's 23
:28:23. > :28:27.years old. So Jazz Carlin wins the women's 800m freestyle with a new
:28:28. > :28:29.Commonwealth Games record. The Silver goes to New Zealand's Lauren
:28:30. > :28:39.Boyle and Canada get the bronze. I'm so pleased, Jazz. That has been
:28:40. > :28:44.a long time coming. I knew it was going to be a tough race. There were
:28:45. > :28:50.world champion ship medallists, it really was a strong field. -- World
:28:51. > :28:54.Championship. I wanted it to go well on the day so I'm so happy. It's a
:28:55. > :29:01.bit slower than I wanted to go at it is all about the race tonight. Your
:29:02. > :29:07.last 100 was two seconds faster than Lauren so we were holding our breath
:29:08. > :29:10.on that final turn. Well, at last year's world Championships, I got
:29:11. > :29:14.picked up the last 15 so this year I really made an effort of making sure
:29:15. > :29:18.that that last 100 was quicker and anyone else in the pool so I've been
:29:19. > :29:22.working on it and it paid off tonight. Do you know that you are
:29:23. > :29:28.the first Welsh lady to win a gold medal in 40 years in the swimming
:29:29. > :29:32.pool? I can't believe it! Seeing the Welsh flag, I'm getting emotional.
:29:33. > :29:38.Your mum and dad follow you everywhere, don't they? Yet, they're
:29:39. > :29:43.amazing. My family have travelled. My little cousins have got "go,
:29:44. > :29:50.Jazz" on their tops and it's nicer than to be to celebrate with me.
:29:51. > :29:54.Very well done. Thank you. That is Wales's third gold medal at
:29:55. > :29:58.the Commonwealth Games but, as Sharron said, the first win in a
:29:59. > :30:03.pool for a woman for such a long time. That is such a great
:30:04. > :30:06.achievement. Yes, especially after two years of disappointment and she
:30:07. > :30:10.really deserved it. She's putting so much hard work and it's nice to see
:30:11. > :30:14.the stop its a shame she didn't have more of a race on hands in a way.
:30:15. > :30:23.You're saying it's a shame she didn't have more of a race? What I
:30:24. > :30:27.mean is, the American girl, Katie Ledecki, is swimming in 8.11. She is
:30:28. > :30:38.a long way ahead of the rest of the field. We got that with Hannah who
:30:39. > :30:42.did a five second PB there. A brilliant result here for fans of
:30:43. > :30:50.Wales but also for swimming in general and we'll see Jazz Carlin
:30:51. > :30:53.get her gold medal a little later. Wonderful effort. Athletics next,
:30:54. > :31:00.but prior to that, some news from today.
:31:01. > :31:04.England's Nick Matthew beat archrival James Willstrop in a fine
:31:05. > :31:13.game thriller to take the men's singles gold.
:31:14. > :31:17.-- a five-game thriller. But world champion Laura Massaro fell short
:31:18. > :31:25.against Malaysia's Nicol David and had to settle for silver.
:31:26. > :31:29.In the lawn bowls men's doubles final, Paul Foster and Alex Marshall
:31:30. > :31:38.secured Scotland's 12th gold of the games is, a record for the Scots.
:31:39. > :31:42.And England's Dan Greaves, also known as Discus Dan, topped the
:31:43. > :31:49.podium in the Para-sport mixed class after beating Welsh favourite Aled
:31:50. > :31:53.Davies. Those are some of the stories from
:31:54. > :31:59.day five. If you have been inspired by these games to get involved in
:32:00. > :32:02.sport, you can get more details by doing to the Get Inspired website.
:32:03. > :32:10.It has all the information about participation in your area.
:32:11. > :32:13.Before we go to the track, a reminder that on the red button
:32:14. > :32:16.tonight, there is uninterrupted coverage of the swimming and
:32:17. > :32:24.athletics sessions, so you will not miss a thing. On BBC One, we are off
:32:25. > :32:28.to Hampden Park and Gabby Logan. Good evening. We already have a
:32:29. > :32:33.fabulous evening of athletics under way here. Football might struggle to
:32:34. > :32:37.get back in here. It makes a perfect cauldron for athletics. The track is
:32:38. > :32:42.so close to the people watching, and they are cheering on fabulous
:32:43. > :32:45.performances. Tonight is all about the fastest men and women in the
:32:46. > :32:53.Commonwealth. It is 100m finals night. Whoever wins this title will
:32:54. > :33:07.have to be at the top of their form.
:33:08. > :33:14.Blessing Okagbare made it look very comfortable. That was a very good
:33:15. > :33:20.performance. comfortable. That was a very good
:33:21. > :33:25.number-1 Commonwealth athletes. He has been in super four.
:33:26. > :33:34.number-1 Commonwealth athletes. He have to be right on his game.
:33:35. > :33:37.Impressive run from Adam Gemili. And there is that smile again. He loves
:33:38. > :33:40.his running, and the crowd there is that smile again. He loves
:33:41. > :33:44.his running, and the loves him. As you have seen this evening, there
:33:45. > :33:47.are so many fabulous finals going on around this Commonwealth Games that
:33:48. > :33:51.we are dipping in and out of different sports. Already, we have
:33:52. > :33:56.seen the women's 100m semi final. We will catch up with those later.
:33:57. > :34:00.Michael Johnson and Denise Lewis are waiting for the men's final. The
:34:01. > :34:05.damp grey skies of yesterday seem 1 million miles away. It is warmer,
:34:06. > :34:09.about 70 degrees, and those guys are ready to unleash some big
:34:10. > :34:15.performances -- 17 degrees. I heard you talking with Gary earlier about
:34:16. > :34:21.how you manage a semi and then a final potentially two hours later.
:34:22. > :34:27.Absolutely. The British or English guys will have to run the final.
:34:28. > :34:33.Denise, it is all about making sure you are in the final, whatever it
:34:34. > :34:36.takes? Yes, it is a tough qualification. The guys and women
:34:37. > :34:41.have to step it up tonight. Let's get down track-side. Harry
:34:42. > :34:48.Aikines-Aryeetey is in the first of these three he. -- these heats. We
:34:49. > :35:00.join our commentator Steve Cram. Thank you, Gabby. There was a huge
:35:01. > :35:04.cheer in the stadium. We may be in Scotland, but Harry Aikines-Aryeetey
:35:05. > :35:07.received a huge roar from this crowd in Hampden Park as he was
:35:08. > :35:13.introduced. Adam Gemili and Richard Kilty are still to come for England.
:35:14. > :35:16.But this is going to be tough. Only the top two and two fastest losers
:35:17. > :35:24.make it through to the final. In this heat, we have ash made, one of
:35:25. > :35:50.the best men in the world over 100m -- Ashmeade.
:35:51. > :35:56.A few of these men have run quick times and could be a danger to Harry
:35:57. > :36:02.Aikines-Aryeetey. But he got ten points since zero -- 10.0 earlier.
:36:03. > :36:09.Something like that might be good enough. We have some very good
:36:10. > :36:16.sprinters here, but if he can rise to the occasion, who knows?
:36:17. > :36:19.Harry Aikines-Aryeetey get a decent start. Bledman gets a good start. In
:36:20. > :36:24.the start. Bledman gets a good start. In
:36:25. > :36:27.Aikines-Aryeetey. It is going to be tight. Ashmeade just gets it from
:36:28. > :36:32.Fraser of the Bahamas, who led that for most of the way. That was a odd
:36:33. > :36:39.semifinal. I was expecting fireworks. Nickel Ashmeade, Colin
:36:40. > :36:42.Jackson, was he carrying something in the heats yesterday? He said it
:36:43. > :36:47.was a bit old and was not that impressive. Yes, there is a final
:36:48. > :36:51.coming later, but we normally expect them to come on in the semifinal and
:36:52. > :36:59.produce a bit more. And young Warren Fraser, that is his best away from
:37:00. > :37:03.the Bahamas. I am scratching my head, as you are. We expect
:37:04. > :37:09.something a bit faster than that. At least around the 10.05 mark. It is
:37:10. > :37:13.the semifinal of the Commonwealth Games. The best sprinters in the
:37:14. > :37:22.world are here today. But anyway, this is the reality of it, I guess.
:37:23. > :37:27.Semifinal number one. If you look at Ashmeade in the middle, he is a 200m
:37:28. > :37:30.specialist. You would expect him to come through quicker than this. I
:37:31. > :37:35.wonder if he is just cruising and thinking to himself, it is still a
:37:36. > :37:39.bit chilly, I will save myself for the final. But I don't think you can
:37:40. > :37:46.take that kind of risk in this race. He does not look like he is cruising
:37:47. > :37:57.to me. You look at someone like him to dominate, but relax. I am not
:37:58. > :38:01.sure about that at all. He has a joint time with Fraser. Harry
:38:02. > :38:03.Aikines-Aryeetey is in fourth place at the moment, technically still in
:38:04. > :38:10.with a chance. Harry, technically you still have a
:38:11. > :38:15.chance because you are in the top four and the two fastest qualifiers
:38:16. > :38:23.go to the final. Your assessment? Start was not as bad as yesterday. I
:38:24. > :38:26.have such a bad start yesterday. I was a bit lacking in my first 20,
:38:27. > :38:30.but my top speed is up there with the best. I wish I could have done a
:38:31. > :38:36.better job for everyone at home. I know God is on my side this year.
:38:37. > :38:39.This might be it. Hopefully, there will be a strong headwind for
:38:40. > :38:45.everyone. I have to thank everyone at home. This is not the end yet.
:38:46. > :38:51.But this opportunity is amazing. I'm taking it with both hands. Now it is
:38:52. > :38:54.a waiting game. Where will you go? I don't know, I was hoping to wait
:38:55. > :39:00.with you! Thanks to the guys at home. Love you lots.
:39:01. > :39:14.Well, it would be a surprise if he got into the final with that time,
:39:15. > :39:19.but he is still in with a chance. Well, Harry was very jolly in that
:39:20. > :39:22.interview. You pointed out yesterday that you were confused by him anyway
:39:23. > :39:27.after his average run to get into these semifinals.
:39:28. > :39:33.Yeah, he does not seem to have that fire and that we'll desire. I wonder
:39:34. > :39:39.if he really believes he can be there. He seemed to be a bit OK with
:39:40. > :39:45.the performance, yesterday as well as today. An unusual race. They were
:39:46. > :39:51.scratching their heads in the commentary box. Yeah, I expected
:39:52. > :39:54.more from Ashmeade. I think he did not expect Fraser from the Bahamas
:39:55. > :40:10.to really get out there. I think he did relax 20 metres from the finish
:40:11. > :40:13.line. Fraser got a great start. I think that Ashmeade, just behind
:40:14. > :40:19.him, figures, I have got him, I am not going to press too hard. I think
:40:20. > :40:26.there is more from him, but not a great start to his day. At this
:40:27. > :40:31.stage, I am looking for the relaxation you want to see from the
:40:32. > :40:36.athletes. Harry admitted that he did start to than yesterday. But if he
:40:37. > :40:43.should get through, has he got the next gear you need to find? That
:40:44. > :40:46.will probably not be our quickest of the three semifinals. You would
:40:47. > :40:51.think that perhaps in the next one, Adam Gemili, quickest in qualifying,
:40:52. > :40:59.would run a faster semifinal if he needs to. He looked good in the
:41:00. > :41:05.heats yesterday. His time was really good, 10.15. Adam has a great racing
:41:06. > :41:11.brain. He will have look at the Lane draw and said, I have a chance here.
:41:12. > :41:16.He has his work cut out for him, but he can handle it. I think he is
:41:17. > :41:21.going to run this race like a final. As Denise said, he has the brain for
:41:22. > :41:29.it. He understands what he needs to do. He has the guy to beat next to
:41:30. > :41:44.him. That is where you want to be, next to the competition. He loves
:41:45. > :41:48.these occasions. He was thrown into the lion's Dan at London 2012 as an
:41:49. > :41:53.18-year-old, and he loves these big championship environments. Andrew
:41:54. > :41:58.Cotter will see if he can make it through this one.
:41:59. > :42:07.Yes, in the middle of the psychological dance and swagger of
:42:08. > :42:23.the runners at the start. Gittens looks to be enjoying himself. That
:42:24. > :42:54.first heat was a bit sluggish. With Jason Livermore and Gemili alongside
:42:55. > :42:54.each other. Two go through automatically
:42:55. > :43:03.each other. Two go through before ten o'clock this evening.
:43:04. > :43:05.Blessing Okagbare has just run 10.93 on this track. We expect quicker
:43:06. > :43:25.from the main men. Livermore is out quickly. Mark Jelks
:43:26. > :43:37.is running well. But here comes Gemili! 10.07, with a slight helping
:43:38. > :43:43.wind. Wonderful run from Adam Gemili. Had to work hard, but came
:43:44. > :43:47.through impressively. Very exciting for this crowd. They have seen the
:43:48. > :43:52.Englishman come through and take that semifinal. Adam is one of the
:43:53. > :43:57.athletes who absorbs energy that semifinal. Adam is one of the
:43:58. > :44:01.crowd, enjoys performing. And he has certainly done that again. He had
:44:02. > :44:06.pressure all around. He will certainly done that again. He had
:44:07. > :44:11.little more from Jamaica. At this stage, he would have seen that
:44:12. > :44:18.Jelks, from Nigeria, seems like he is streaking ahead. But Adam works
:44:19. > :44:26.hard, relies on the 200m strength he has got, and takes the victory.
:44:27. > :44:40.There is a whole raft of American converts to Nigeria now. Livermore
:44:41. > :44:44.was straining for second place. Adam is like a metronome. He gets into a
:44:45. > :44:50.rhythm and he is able to keep his frequency doing all the time. He
:44:51. > :44:54.hits the floor very powerfully. He drives with his arms, his eyes are
:44:55. > :44:57.focused in front. He is not concerning himself with left or
:44:58. > :45:03.right, all the way to the finish line. That was a great performance,
:45:04. > :45:07.just shy of his best. The big question mark will be, can he find
:45:08. > :45:13.another 10th of a second? I think that is what will be needed. Sadly,
:45:14. > :45:19.Harry Aikines-Aryeetey will be out because of that result.
:45:20. > :45:25.Adam, congratulations on a tremendous performance. Through to
:45:26. > :45:29.the final. What do you now do before then? Just recover. My body is fit
:45:30. > :45:34.enough to run around, so just recover. I made it hard for myself
:45:35. > :45:40.and did not start well, but I was able to come through. Commonwealth
:45:41. > :45:46.Games final. What more can I ask for? So much faster than the first
:45:47. > :45:52.race. It bodes well. Yeah, I tried to relax as much as I can. I like to
:45:53. > :45:56.enjoy the crowd. As soon as I get in the blocks, that is my focus. Now I
:45:57. > :46:03.will just get back and recover. Enjoy the final.
:46:04. > :46:21.Well, it was a lot quicker than the first heat. A very good run. A
:46:22. > :46:26.better race, a stronger race and, from Adam Gemili, a stronger
:46:27. > :46:29.performance? You were a bit concerned.
:46:30. > :46:36.He looked a bit better. Still looked a bit tight to me at the finish but
:46:37. > :46:43.when you've got this kind of running to do early on, you've got to really
:46:44. > :46:47.go for it. He hoped it would be run like a final and that's how he ran
:46:48. > :46:55.it. I was a bit concerned with his transition. He's in line five here.
:46:56. > :46:58.What is it you were concerned about? His start is very good but you
:46:59. > :47:02.notice he loses a bit of ground on the field. That's because the
:47:03. > :47:06.transition is extremely important. It isn't enough just to get a great
:47:07. > :47:11.start out of the blocks that are good you have to be able to maintain
:47:12. > :47:16.that by transitioning the start of your maximum velocity into your full
:47:17. > :47:20.speed. I have nothing to add in terms of his technique but what you
:47:21. > :47:25.want to see is the competitiveness. That's what it's going to take. If
:47:26. > :47:30.he genuinely can lift a medal at these championships... And still not
:47:31. > :47:36.convinced by a Schmied and the big guys who have come in with the big
:47:37. > :47:57.times and whether they've got what it takes to come through. What bodes
:47:58. > :48:04.well is that Livermore looked horrible. I think Adam Gemili has
:48:05. > :48:12.his number at this point but I'm still a bit concerned with Ashmed.
:48:13. > :48:18.We also need to know what Richard Thompson has got which she didn't
:48:19. > :48:23.show yesterday. We will see in this next and final semifinal whether
:48:24. > :48:32.Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago and Richard Kilty can produce a
:48:33. > :48:36.performance. He is the world indoor 60m champion but can he convert that
:48:37. > :48:41.into a run which will take him into the final. Let's find out.
:48:42. > :48:50.STEVE CRAM: As the evening sunshine casts long shadows across the
:48:51. > :48:55.stadium, in some respects the shadow of the world indoor title has been
:48:56. > :48:59.cast over the season and Richard Kilty because he hasn't produced
:49:00. > :49:03.that kind of form. We started the season really well but hasn't come
:49:04. > :49:12.on from that and he's got a real task to get through to the final to
:49:13. > :49:18.join Adam Gemili. I guess the question here is, Richard Thompson,
:49:19. > :49:24.who has been having a great season - 9.82 but in his Championships it
:49:25. > :49:33.with a new Trinidad and Tobago records - or one of the others?
:49:34. > :50:04.We have two or three others who could figure in this.
:50:05. > :50:24.A new fine for South Africa. -- find.
:50:25. > :50:31.Thompson is not guaranteed a spot now. Let's wait to see the times
:50:32. > :50:38.cover-up. Richard Thompson, the fastest man in the Commonwealth come
:50:39. > :50:44.into these championships, the gold beaten by Bailey-call but was he
:50:45. > :50:52.beaten by Adams as well? -- by Kemar Bailey-Cole. That time is not going
:50:53. > :50:57.to be quick enough and Thompson is out. We looked to him yesterday and
:50:58. > :51:02.we wondered whether he could produce a performance that would get him
:51:03. > :51:06.through to this final and he surprised everybody by not making it
:51:07. > :51:11.but look at Kemar Bailey-Cole from Jamaica. He's the man I would say
:51:12. > :51:14.need to watch. A beautiful, fluid runner. I don't think when the
:51:15. > :51:20.pressure is on that technique he shows there will crack. A winning
:51:21. > :51:24.time of ten seconds dead and I believe he does have something left
:51:25. > :51:28.in the tank. Michael mentioned earlier the transitions. You've got
:51:29. > :51:31.to react from the blocks and have a good transition. He's a bit sluggish
:51:32. > :51:35.because he's tall but the clear factor is that he gets to the line
:51:36. > :51:43.first and that is going to be crucial. There is confirmation of
:51:44. > :51:52.that. Into a slight headwind, as well. Who was the most Impreza?
:51:53. > :51:56.Probably Kemar Bailey-Cole. The big news is Richard Thompson not good at
:51:57. > :52:05.all. He won't go through to the final. Antoine Adams goes through, a
:52:06. > :52:19.bit of a surprise. Here are the finalists:
:52:20. > :52:23.A good chance of a medal for England or are we getting ahead of
:52:24. > :52:31.ourselves? If one person can tell us we are,
:52:32. > :52:37.I'm sat next to him! Go on. Be nice, Michael! I think Adam knows exactly
:52:38. > :52:43.what he's doing and exactly where he is. He had a great race in his
:52:44. > :52:50.semifinal that will have given him a loss of confidence. He's already
:52:51. > :52:53.beaten one of the Jamaicans and his coach will look and see the
:52:54. > :52:58.transitions issue and he can clear that up as he goes into the final,
:52:59. > :53:02.like you did yesterday, cleaning up a bit of the technique. Can I just
:53:03. > :53:06.introduced Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson who is here with us, listening
:53:07. > :53:10.interested league into your take on whether Adam Gemili can get in on
:53:11. > :53:17.the medals? -- listening with interest. It's interesting that
:53:18. > :53:20.Kemar Bailey-Cole was in the B race at the Diamond League if few ways
:53:21. > :53:28.ago and has now shown us that he is this good and should have been in
:53:29. > :53:34.the a race. He bridges the quickest time of the semifinals and it was
:53:35. > :53:38.not enough for Thompson to keep up with. He was there to go and grab a
:53:39. > :53:43.place in the final. Thompson has looked out of sorts from the get go.
:53:44. > :53:49.From yesterday, he just didn't look like the man that has run sub ten a
:53:50. > :53:54.couple of times this year. But for me, Kemar Bailey-Cole is a really
:53:55. > :54:04.tall guy and he looks great. He moves well. The final could be so
:54:05. > :54:08.exciting. If Adam Gemili could get in a month that, I have no doubt he
:54:09. > :54:14.will execute it well. I'm disappointed for Richard
:54:15. > :54:16.will execute it well. I'm just hasn't been able to raise his
:54:17. > :54:24.game. I know he's got some emotional things going on - he's lost a friend
:54:25. > :54:26.- but he hasn't looked like himself. Is it a burden to bring the
:54:27. > :54:30.- but he hasn't looked like himself. title from the indoors outdoors?
:54:31. > :54:36.Does it add an extra pressure? You could look at it the other way and
:54:37. > :54:39.say that it could add confidence. I think the thing I've seen with
:54:40. > :54:43.Richard Kilty is that he is a great starter, a power runner, but that
:54:44. > :54:50.doesn't necessarily mean you can translate that to outdoors for
:54:51. > :54:53.100m. I'm not sure what they're working on in terms of his training
:54:54. > :55:00.but if he has that ability to transfer rate, he may. There are
:55:01. > :55:05.some guys who have just always been indoor sprinters. Adam Gemili
:55:06. > :55:09.qualifying second quickest there at 10.07. He is desperate to break the
:55:10. > :55:13.magic ten seconds and maybe tonight to win the gold, he will have to get
:55:14. > :55:18.under ten seconds. Wouldn't that be great if at nine we get a result
:55:19. > :55:23.that produces a sub ten second victory. Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson,
:55:24. > :55:30.we have a great programme because we are seeing the integration of
:55:31. > :55:35.Para-sport and a tremendous para athlete is coming up tonight. I'm
:55:36. > :55:39.going to heat loads of pressure on her because it is her race to lose.
:55:40. > :55:43.Not only on paper but the way she ran in the semis was absolutely
:55:44. > :55:48.fantastic so we're looking for good things from her tonight. She is
:55:49. > :55:53.getting herself sorted there. But we will, at the moment, have a look at
:55:54. > :55:57.the field because it is the women's hammer final. We'll build up more to
:55:58. > :56:02.that race in a moment. Steve Backley is taking a look at the field for
:56:03. > :56:06.us. Thanks, Gary. The women's final
:56:07. > :56:09.first round for Sophie hit John of England. She is looking to impose
:56:10. > :56:22.herself. -- Sophie Hitchen. That will be measured. An anxious
:56:23. > :56:36.look from Sophie. So important to get a big throw out,
:56:37. > :56:39.put the pressure on the opposition. There are three athletes throwing
:56:40. > :56:47.beyond 70 metres and she is one of them but not on this throw. It is
:56:48. > :56:51.towards 70 metres. It's decent. 67.59m. It will take the lead but I
:56:52. > :57:01.suspect it may need more to stay on the rostrum. Now Sultana Frizell
:57:02. > :57:10.Hell of Canada. -- Frizzell of Canada.
:57:11. > :57:20.Good technique. Beyond her games record that she did yesterday, at 70
:57:21. > :57:26.metres plus, she is a 75 metre throw at her very best. She took the title
:57:27. > :57:32.in Delhi four years ago. She is looking to defend and get three
:57:33. > :57:41.metres ahead of Sophie. She is looking for a bit of advice from her
:57:42. > :57:47.courage. 70.55m takes the lead. GABBY LOGAN: Sultana is the current
:57:48. > :57:54.leader. Sorry, I'll have to raise in my game.
:57:55. > :58:02.Libby Clegg has already had a moment in the opening ceremony. She's well
:58:03. > :58:06.known in Scotland and has won sports personality of the year in Scotland,
:58:07. > :58:11.presented to her by her hero David Weir. She's a real trailblazer and
:58:12. > :58:15.role model. Her brother is a Paralympian as well so there is a
:58:16. > :58:18.lot of pressure in the family. In London, her parents were rushing
:58:19. > :58:22.between the track and the pool to get to see both of their children
:58:23. > :58:28.compete and there has been huge pressure on her for the last two
:58:29. > :58:32.years since London. In Glasgow and London there are posters of her
:58:33. > :58:38.everywhere. In the opening ceremony, she would have rather just hid
:58:39. > :58:41.herself away but that's almost impossible to turn that down. She's
:58:42. > :58:45.dealing with it very well at the moment. I think the relationship of
:58:46. > :58:50.all the athletes with their guide runners is so interesting, isn't it?
:58:51. > :58:53.They seem to have a fabulous bond and understanding with each other.
:58:54. > :58:57.It's really hard because you have to get on with each other so well
:58:58. > :59:02.because you are literally joined. At every training session, it's
:59:03. > :59:07.actually pretty tough to find somebody who can run the pace she's
:59:08. > :59:12.running and is willing to almost hold back on their athletics career
:59:13. > :59:23.to be there. He has been her guide runner for a couple of years now,
:59:24. > :59:27.and his half brother is here as a guide as well. It is obviously
:59:28. > :59:40.therefore stop it is amazing. Tracey Hinton has come back to sprinting.
:59:41. > :59:44.Yes, she's had to go up to 4x800m. Slightly surprised that she got her
:59:45. > :59:48.season's best, I didn't have her in that kind of. What have you made of
:59:49. > :59:53.the integration of the Para-sport is? There are six events in total,
:59:54. > :59:58.with the athletics. I think it's fantastic. I think that athletics is
:59:59. > :00:06.a sport that is helped by that. You hear a lot about stars and I think
:00:07. > :00:11.this sport is helped by the inclusion. It's been fantastic.
:00:12. > :00:14.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Listen to that reception. They
:00:15. > :00:17.absolutely love her and they are sharing it with their waving the
:00:18. > :00:24.assault tyres and the applause which they hope they will replicate. --
:00:25. > :00:27.their waving of the Scottish flags. Let's head to commentary and Steve
:00:28. > :00:41.Cram. Paralympic sport, representing
:00:42. > :00:48.Wales. We have two different categories here T11 and T12, they
:00:49. > :00:53.often run together. Tracey is totally blind, Libby Clegg is
:00:54. > :01:04.legally blind with a small percentage of vision, but Libby
:01:05. > :01:10.Clegg carrying the hopes of Scotland against Ishitile and Muchavo. She
:01:11. > :01:16.has room to spare. She was very good in the heats today. Perfectly
:01:17. > :01:19.matched with her guide, the two of them, the stride length important,
:01:20. > :01:23.the relationship between them important. 12. 23 she ran. She's the
:01:24. > :01:25.fourth quickest Scottish 100 metre important. 12. 23 she ran. She's the
:01:26. > :01:37.fourth quickest Scottish 100 of all athletes.
:01:38. > :01:45.Libby Clegg going for Scotland here. She's out of blocks into her running
:01:46. > :01:48.very nicely. Mikel going with her, stretching away from the field.
:01:49. > :01:57.She's looking for a personal best here. Libby Clegg gets the Gold
:01:58. > :02:00.Medal. Scotland celebrates. Libby Clegg celebrates with her guide
:02:01. > :02:10.runner. The two of them have worked so hard together. That's just a tad
:02:11. > :02:18.slower than two years ago. She surely must be lapping this up.
:02:19. > :02:25.Congratulations to Muchavo, who took the silver and Ishitile who took the
:02:26. > :02:29.bronze. It's been a long journey for Libby Clegg. She's moved to
:02:30. > :02:33.Loughborough. She's talked about changes she's had to make. She's got
:02:34. > :02:39.a new guide dog now, Hattie. I'm sure Hattie will join in the
:02:40. > :02:51.celebrations somewhere as well. For Mikel and Libby, what a moment. What
:02:52. > :02:56.a moment Arnhem den park -- what a moment around Hampden Park. What a
:02:57. > :03:00.fantastic race for Libby and a season's best. I don't think winning
:03:01. > :03:04.the gold was ever in contention, but she could have made lots of mistakes
:03:05. > :03:08.to throw it away. She kept very calm. It's lovely to see her
:03:09. > :03:11.smiling. When she crossed the line, she almost looked like she couldn't
:03:12. > :03:16.believe it and wasn't ready to celebrate. It's lovely to see them
:03:17. > :03:19.both there with the Scottish flag waving at the crowds and soaking up
:03:20. > :03:27.the applause. A very well deserved Gold Medal for Libby Clegg. Scotland
:03:28. > :03:31.are not going to have too many medal opportunities here in track and
:03:32. > :03:36.field. A few of them to come, the likes of Eilidh Child, Lindsay sharp
:03:37. > :03:42.and one or two others, but for Libby Clegg, she's first in all respects.
:03:43. > :03:49.First in this race, first Gold Medal for Scotland. She's still improving,
:03:50. > :03:53.for me. You talked about working with Mikel, they've been together
:03:54. > :03:57.for a couple of years, there's still more to come, I think, Tanni?
:03:58. > :04:03.There's more for them to come together. For Libby, she started off
:04:04. > :04:07.as a T13 athlete, which meant she had some vision. Her eye condition
:04:08. > :04:11.got worse then she had to run with a guide. In the early part of the
:04:12. > :04:15.race, she looked like she was struggling, like she wasn't relaxed.
:04:16. > :04:18.Once she got to about 60 metres, you could see she was running
:04:19. > :04:21.comfortably. There's a lot more to come. She wants to run mainstream
:04:22. > :04:26.and being fourth fastest in Scotland, that gives her lots of
:04:27. > :04:35.opportunity to open her eyes to a different level of competition.
:04:36. > :04:37.Lovely shots and the two of them, they're so synchronised, when
:04:38. > :04:43.they're sprinting together. That's part of it. It is a relationship.
:04:44. > :04:48.They have said, I've heard Mikel talk about, yeah, we have our
:04:49. > :04:52.arguments, occasional falling out, but the goal is a joint goal. They
:04:53. > :04:57.work so hard together, as do all of the athletes. It's great to see them
:04:58. > :05:04.all going on their lap of honour. What a moment for Libby Clegg. It
:05:05. > :05:09.will be a medal as well for the guides. So a special moment
:05:10. > :05:14.will be a medal as well for the Mikel Huggins. They will milk this
:05:15. > :05:19.for a little bit longer, I'm sure. STUDIO: It takes a special athlete
:05:20. > :05:23.to dedicate yourself to be a guide runner. You are skewing your own
:05:24. > :05:28.chances of having your own individual career. You hear about so
:05:29. > :05:29.many people enjoy the experience. They get so much
:05:30. > :05:34.many people enjoy the experience. it seems to be
:05:35. > :05:37.many people enjoy the experience. give and take of it. The rewards are
:05:38. > :05:46.so great, when you have nights like this. Libby is so modest. She's so
:05:47. > :05:51.humble, it's almost like Mikel has to keep reminding her how fantastic
:05:52. > :05:54.of an athlete she is. He's with her for every single training session,
:05:55. > :05:55.of an athlete she is. He's with her come rain, come shine. He dead
:05:56. > :06:00.indicates his life come rain, come shine. He dead
:06:01. > :06:09.that she is as best as she can be. It's just beautiful. It's great
:06:10. > :06:13.scenes here. If you don't, as the guide runner, bring your athlete
:06:14. > :06:18.through and you fail and you get your athlete disqualified, that's a
:06:19. > :06:24.tremendous amount of pressure and having to gauge what type of speed
:06:25. > :06:27.you're at to make sure that you're with your athlete, it's a very
:06:28. > :06:33.interesting relationship. I'm sure there's a lot of pressure on those
:06:34. > :06:38.guide runners. There aren't many relationships in sport where you
:06:39. > :06:43.work so closely and then compete together. I can only think of
:06:44. > :06:51.Torvill and Dean, who train together like that. You are relying on that
:06:52. > :06:56.person being your metronome. If they get too quickly, you're
:06:57. > :07:01.disqualified. It's a different type of team work. We rely on different
:07:02. > :07:09.teams. This is a unique one. It's selfless. It's giving. It's generous
:07:10. > :07:15.and it's wonderful to see them both together. For Libby, she has
:07:16. > :07:19.experienced being disqualified because of a guide crossing a line
:07:20. > :07:21.first, Tracey Hinton as well, that's really difficult. What's
:07:22. > :07:26.first, Tracey Hinton as well, that's about athletics now is, I think,
:07:27. > :07:31.finally they're giving a medal to the guide runners as well. It's
:07:32. > :07:34.happened in cycling with the tandem. In athletics they stayed away from
:07:35. > :07:37.that. The guide was on the back of the podium, they didn't even really
:07:38. > :07:41.want them for the medal ceremony. It's important to recognise the
:07:42. > :07:46.partnership that the two bring to it. It means we are going to hear
:07:47. > :07:50.Flower of Scotland in this stadium. Michael heard Scotland's second
:07:51. > :07:54.anthem yesterday, the Proclaimers 500 Miles. He enjoyed that. He may
:07:55. > :07:59.enjoy the Flower of Scotland as well. I think I heard it earlier
:08:00. > :08:03.today. I enjoyed it. It's nice, very nice. I'm sure it will be great in
:08:04. > :08:07.this stadium with the home crowd. As I mentioned, it's a really busy
:08:08. > :08:13.evening, across the swimming and athletics. Before you came to us
:08:14. > :08:19.this evening, the women's semifinals had taken place for the 100m. You
:08:20. > :08:22.may, of the keen eared of you may have heard Andrew Cotter mention a
:08:23. > :08:24.name who was particularly dominant in those semifinals. Here they are
:08:25. > :08:49.for you now. Clean lay way Philip. She gets a
:08:50. > :08:53.good start. Does she still have the speed later in the race. She's
:08:54. > :09:02.powering away from Breen at the moment. Calvert and Philip will go
:09:03. > :09:06.through. Into a slight head wind. Good qualification from Philip as
:09:07. > :09:11.well. The most important thing for me was that Philip had a great start
:09:12. > :09:13.and pick up. That was critical for her. She's in the middle of the
:09:14. > :09:17.field. She exploded out of the blocks. She got into her running
:09:18. > :09:20.well. During the season she's been falling apart around this stage. But
:09:21. > :09:24.she kept the force going, all the way through, good focus, through to
:09:25. > :09:28.a nice qualification in second place. I think she'll be pleased
:09:29. > :09:40.with that performance. Confirmation of that first heat.
:09:41. > :10:05.This is the second of the three semifinals. For young Sophie Papps,
:10:06. > :10:08.lining up against Veronica Campbell-Brown, a huge task here.
:10:09. > :10:16.Two fastest loser spots are available.
:10:17. > :10:25.Campbell-Brown gets a good start. So does Bingham. Here comes
:10:26. > :10:35.Campbell-Brown. As expected she takes the win. Asumnu clear in
:10:36. > :10:39.second place. Her return to the sport is not something everyone is
:10:40. > :10:43.totally happy with. Campbell-Brown is easily through. She's getting
:10:44. > :10:48.better and better with every single race. Not the best of starts. An
:10:49. > :10:53.average start for her. Once she got into the very powerful stride of
:10:54. > :10:57.hers, good frequency, she ease add way from the field and you end up
:10:58. > :11:14.with this type of performance, easy qualification.
:11:15. > :11:20.Wonderful moments, nervous, but wonderful nonetheless for Amy
:11:21. > :11:25.Foster. Bianca Williams is in there as well.
:11:26. > :11:45.Maybe struggling keep with the pace, Amy Foster here. Ly away, Karen
:11:46. > :11:52.Stewart, Okagbare out into her tall stride. Williams coming through
:11:53. > :11:56.looking for a fastest time, Okagbare looking very impressive as in the
:11:57. > :12:00.first round. We saw what she could do in the first round. She cruised
:12:01. > :12:09.through to the qualification. Here, she ran even quicker. 10. 93, nice,
:12:10. > :12:13.strong running, focussed. Everything was perfect about this race. This is
:12:14. > :12:20.only the semifinal. The medals are given out in the final, can she
:12:21. > :12:30.deliver? What a time that is from Okagbare.
:12:31. > :12:47.Well done to Asha an Bianca making that final. We're hoping to speak to
:12:48. > :12:52.Libby Clegg. She's enjoying and lapping up her lap of honour and the
:12:53. > :12:55.crowd are loving seeing her. She's wondering around and shaking hands,
:12:56. > :13:01.as she should an enjoying every moment of that fabulous victory.
:13:02. > :13:09.Let's talk about the 100m, though. Disappoint ing for everybody here
:13:10. > :13:12.that Rochelle Aye wasn't in that semifinals. She didn't look like the
:13:13. > :13:18.athlete who blasted the field away at Diamond League a few weeks ago.
:13:19. > :13:23.She was carrying a heavy strapping on her leg, which suggests she is
:13:24. > :13:28.really hurt. She tweeted earlier in the week that it was only cramp, but
:13:29. > :13:31.it was much more inhibiting than Much more that. Serious. Absolutely.
:13:32. > :13:35.It's such a shame because she's had a fabulous season, a great season. I
:13:36. > :13:39.would have loved to have seen her competing against the likes of
:13:40. > :13:45.Okagbare and Campbell-Brown. The two outstanding women in that field.
:13:46. > :13:51.Absolutely. I was incredibly impressed with Okagbareracy race.
:13:52. > :13:55.She -- Okagbare's race. To run under 11 seconds in a semifinal, it looks
:13:56. > :14:01.complete opposite from what we're seeing from some of the men. The
:14:02. > :14:04.women are running, Veronica Campbell-Brown looks incredible, the
:14:05. > :14:13.best I've seen her in many years. That's a great match up. You can't
:14:14. > :14:18.forget Stuart. -- Stewart. That's where it's at for this race. 9. 35pm
:14:19. > :14:23.that final here on BBC One. Let's catch up with the women's hammer.
:14:24. > :14:25.Steve Backley has that for us. Sophie Hihchon of England guaranteed
:14:26. > :14:49.a bronze medal. Can she approve it? It's big. Maybe not quite big
:14:50. > :14:55.enough. It looked as though the lines there denoting the medal
:14:56. > :15:00.standings, the bronze was hers any way. Very inconsistent through this
:15:01. > :15:04.competition. Sophie hitting the cage ah, borting on throws. This was her
:15:05. > :15:10.last attempt. Her best so far, her first-round
:15:11. > :15:19.throw of 67. 59 will give her the bronze. Has she snuck into silver? I
:15:20. > :15:23.don't think so. Confirmation there: She takes bronze, though.
:15:24. > :15:26.don't think so. Confirmation there: Congratulations to Sophie Hihchon, a
:15:27. > :15:29.bronze for her, the former ballet dancer, still
:15:30. > :15:30.bronze for her, the former ballet her event. That will give her a lot
:15:31. > :15:30.of confidence her event. That will give her a lot
:15:31. > :15:36.into the sport. OK, her event. That will give her a lot
:15:37. > :15:39.Hampden Park for a while. We'll be back later. We will go to the
:15:40. > :15:47.swimming pool and Clare Balding. Thanks, and the big headline made by
:15:48. > :15:55.Jazz Carlin, who won gold in Thanks, and the big headline made by
:15:56. > :16:00.800m freestyle. We'll see the medal ceremony in
:16:01. > :16:05.800m freestyle. We'll see the medal which Ollie Hynde had qualified
:16:06. > :16:10.fastest. He was the Paralympic champion in the 200m individual
:16:11. > :16:13.medley from London and was five seconds given anybody else. Let's
:16:14. > :17:18.join Marc Woods and Andy Jamieson. A nice clear still head. He'd prefer
:17:19. > :17:24.to move a bit further away from the Australian but a great first 100.
:17:25. > :17:25.Let's see how he hit his turn. A better term than he managed this
:17:26. > :17:52.morning. -- turn. Clearly benefiting from significant
:17:53. > :17:56.use of his legs, Oliver Hynd. It must be very difficult to keep the
:17:57. > :18:01.balance of the breaststroke with a slightly unbalanced leg kick. He is
:18:02. > :18:10.pulling with both arms and getting the benefit. Here he comes into the
:18:11. > :18:19.final turn at at 1.49.74. They lot quicker than this morning, that. I
:18:20. > :18:23.think there is a very fast time. Peter Leek set a record in the
:18:24. > :18:29.Beijing Paralympics at two point 20.92. Ollie is pushing very hard,
:18:30. > :18:40.the champion from the 2012 Paralympics. The world record is
:18:41. > :18:48.2.20.92. He is just outside but a very good swim. Just outside of his
:18:49. > :18:53.own European record by nor .1 seconds. In doing that, winning the
:18:54. > :18:58.gold medal here, he has got the complete set - the Olympic gold, the
:18:59. > :19:03.world championship gold, the European gold and now the
:19:04. > :19:08.Commonwealth gold. Look how much he's won buy. That is an incredible
:19:09. > :19:24.victory. He is Paralympic champion, world champion. He owns this event.
:19:25. > :19:27.He may be just didn't have the people around him to get the world
:19:28. > :19:29.record. Prince William and Prince Harry are looking on. There is the
:19:30. > :19:35.confirmation of a gold medal for Oliver Hynd. Australia gets second
:19:36. > :19:39.and third to further increase their medal tally in a wonderful
:19:40. > :19:44.demonstration of Paralympic swimming.
:19:45. > :19:51.CLARE BALDING: These are life shots of the medal ceremony. The president
:19:52. > :19:53.of the Commonwealth Games Association is making the
:19:54. > :20:08.presentation of the medals themselves and the athletes are
:20:09. > :20:11.getting their quaich. Ollie Hynd now has the full set of European,
:20:12. > :20:19.Commonwealth, world and Paralympic gold medals. From Mansfield. He
:20:20. > :20:22.trains where under Glenn Smith. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:20:23. > :20:32.Listen to the reception for Ollie Hynd.
:20:33. > :20:42.He was so impressive. He dominated the race. Still only 19 years old.
:20:43. > :20:47.You think of how much more he could achieve. He will be heading to the
:20:48. > :20:52.Paralympic games in Rio into the creators and, I'm sure, to the Gold
:20:53. > :20:56.Coast for the Commonwealth Games in four years. Ladies and gentlemen,
:20:57. > :22:15.the national anthem of England. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:22:16. > :22:18.Their Royal Highness is the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince
:22:19. > :22:21.Harry have picked a very good might come to the swimming because they've
:22:22. > :22:25.seen a gold medal for England and earlier this evening, they saw a
:22:26. > :22:29.gold medal for Wales. It came from Jazz Carlin in the
:22:30. > :22:37.800m freestyle. It was a fabulous performance.
:22:38. > :22:47.We'll show you that in just a second. Another example of why these
:22:48. > :22:54.Commonwealth Games are such a good example of integrated sports. He's a
:22:55. > :22:59.bit of a star, Ollie Hynd. His brother Sam has retired from
:23:00. > :23:05.swimming now, leaving him to leave the family on, as it were, and he
:23:06. > :23:08.will make a lap of the pool and I'm sure Sharron will get a word with
:23:09. > :23:17.him when he comes back from the water.
:23:18. > :23:32.A lot of love out there for Ollie. And Marc Woods watching on. He was
:23:33. > :23:37.going for the gold-medal... Sorry, going for the world record, and that
:23:38. > :23:38.didn't come off but he was incredibly impressive and did more
:23:39. > :24:03.than he needed to do. You need that kind of thing to push
:24:04. > :24:08.you on. Marc Woods didn't hear me earlier but I think we can hear from
:24:09. > :24:17.him now. Yes, I've been able to hear you but you haven't been hearing
:24:18. > :24:21.me! You are absolutely right. He did talk to Sharron earlier about trying
:24:22. > :24:25.to achieve the world record but he thinks you need something to push
:24:26. > :24:30.you an and it wasn't there for him today. No real stiff competition
:24:31. > :24:34.next to him. He'll be delighted with that gold medal. He's completed that
:24:35. > :24:40.set of gold medals and that was his key objective this week, to get the
:24:41. > :24:47.gold to match up with the European, world and Paralympic medals. You can
:24:48. > :24:57.see how much it means to him. He lives in Mansfield and Becky will
:24:58. > :25:03.know him well. His coach Sam has done a great job. Nice to see some
:25:04. > :25:09.Australians walking through an England guard of honour! I wonder
:25:10. > :25:19.whether we might see Ollie's brother and family. He is walking towards
:25:20. > :25:32.the Spectator's area. There is his coach, absolutely delighted for him.
:25:33. > :25:39.Ollie Hynd can't stop smiling. We'll let him complete his lap of honour
:25:40. > :25:42.and take you back to the 800m freestyle final which
:25:43. > :25:46.and take you back to the 800m Jazz Carlin Wales. She becomes the
:25:47. > :25:50.third Welsh gold medallist at these games, following Frankie Jones in
:25:51. > :25:56.the rhythmic gymnastics, and Napoli Howard in judo, and she set a new
:25:57. > :25:56.Games record in the process and the former Commonwealth Games champion
:25:57. > :26:08.Rebecca Adlington was watching on. REBECCA ADLINGTON: It was a stunning
:26:09. > :26:12.race. She paced it so well. I knew she would back in the last 400 and
:26:13. > :26:16.come back strong. I thought it would be a bit between them but I think it
:26:17. > :26:28.was a really good confidence boost going into next year. She's stepped
:26:29. > :27:39.up to receive her gold-medal and heard Land Of Our Fathers.
:27:40. > :27:57.team. Her parents were here as well and
:27:58. > :28:02.her two little cousins. Jazz is beside herself with joy. That is a
:28:03. > :28:06.big moment for her, her first major individual title, Becky. Yes, she's
:28:07. > :28:14.had a difficult few years and had a funny year this year with Swansea,
:28:15. > :28:18.Performance Center has now. Her coach has moved to Australia so
:28:19. > :28:22.she's had to split her time with six weeks in Australia and six weeks
:28:23. > :28:31.here. But it didn't make a difference. You can see how
:28:32. > :28:41.overjoyed her parents are. It was just wonderful. Look, here come the
:28:42. > :28:47.little girls! They've got "go, Jazz" on their T-shirts. It's so lovely! A
:28:48. > :28:53.really wonderful moment. We rejoin live pictures and you can hear the
:28:54. > :28:58.response to Katie Armitage. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:28:59. > :29:02.Ali Atkinson aims to become the first-ever gold medallist in the
:29:03. > :29:07.pool for Jamaica. Sophie Taylor will be alongside her in the two fast
:29:08. > :29:11.lanes. Let's rejoin Adrian Moorhouse and Andy Jamieson.
:29:12. > :29:19.COMMENTATOR: Wouldn't it be special if we could get Jamaica to get a
:29:20. > :29:24.gold? Having said that, she's got some good young Aussies and Sophie
:29:25. > :29:35.Taylor. Sally Hunter goes in Lane 6, the fourth fastest. She got a silver
:29:36. > :29:41.in the 200m freestyle. Lorna Tonks actually used to represent England.
:29:42. > :29:50.She moved with her family aged 16. Sophie Taylor is from Leeds, my home
:29:51. > :30:00.club. She's moving down to London but she has a wonderful opportunity
:30:01. > :30:05.here to make a podium. The build-up for this summer has been excellent
:30:06. > :30:12.but I then this could be a good chance for a gold-medal for Ali
:30:13. > :30:17.Atkinson. I think this race is pretty wide open. No one is a
:30:18. > :30:28.standout favourite. The Australians are very good, Sophie Taylor, the
:30:29. > :30:38.British record-holder, is very good. It's about who manages the nerves.
:30:39. > :30:40.Lane 8 is Atkinson. She will be out quickly. She will be nearest the
:30:41. > :30:51.camera but she never really holds onto it.
:30:52. > :31:04.Very good reaction from Atkinson for Jamaica. The Black cat, one line
:31:05. > :31:15.closer to us from the leader, is Sophie Taylor for England. -- black
:31:16. > :31:18.hat. Taylor is the other black cap nearest to us. Looking for a great
:31:19. > :31:31.position. of the rest of the field. She's
:31:32. > :31:34.streaking away. Can Jamaica win their first Gold Medal at the
:31:35. > :31:39.Commonwealth Games? She's going to have to tie up an awful lot, but
:31:40. > :31:43.she's done that before. Hold onto your stroke here. Coming back
:31:44. > :31:47.strongly is Taylor. She is coming back. Sophie Taylor from England,
:31:48. > :31:53.the 18-year-old is overtaking. Can she win gold for England? Goodness
:31:54. > :31:58.me this is a wonderful swim. Sophie Taylor wins gold for England in the
:31:59. > :32:06.100m breaststroke! A massive British record for her and what a wonderful
:32:07. > :32:10.swim, gold to Taylor. That is brilliant. Silver to Tonks of
:32:11. > :32:14.Australia and Atkinson gets the bronze for Jamaica. Sophie Taylor's
:32:15. > :32:17.last 38, brilliant! Fantastic, again, we've talked about this with
:32:18. > :32:21.a couple of other swimmers from the home countries, to have the nerve
:32:22. > :32:25.just to sit back a little bit, have the confidence and maturity in so
:32:26. > :32:32.young. Atkinson, the 25-year-old, she was in Athens at the age of 15
:32:33. > :32:37.in 2004. Atkinson using all her speed. Taylor, just well off the
:32:38. > :32:41.shoulder here. Coming into turn, big old turn, coming up and all the work
:32:42. > :32:46.from here. You're right, 259 metres to go, right now -- 25 metres to go,
:32:47. > :32:51.right now she's accelerating like a rocket. Moves away from Atkinson and
:32:52. > :32:57.dominates this. Look, they look like they're standing still. What's
:32:58. > :33:01.really interesting was she held onto her stroke there. Hold onto that
:33:02. > :33:05.stroke and don't get too excited. What a difference it makes when she
:33:06. > :33:08.does it right. It's a very painful thing to do, but it's really
:33:09. > :33:13.important. You can't rush the strokes in the last five metres.
:33:14. > :33:19.Being able to bring the arms forward and throw them forward when they're
:33:20. > :33:20.hurt soing much, but that was -- hurting so much, but that was
:33:21. > :33:23.wonderful. hurting so much, but that was
:33:24. > :33:25.British Gold Medal if the breaststroke.
:33:26. > :33:40.What a night! What a night we've had. What a stunning swim that was.
:33:41. > :33:46.We have to be quick because you have to get this medal presentation,
:33:47. > :33:49.that's scrorder that. You -- extraordinary, you were so strong on
:33:50. > :33:53.the last part of the race. Yeah I wasn't where I wanted to be on the
:33:54. > :34:01.first 50, then you turned and I knew I had to give it my all. I could see
:34:02. > :34:05.Alli next to me and I could see she's dying. I kept going and going.
:34:06. > :34:09.I gave it my all. Came out with the best time and a Gold Medal And
:34:10. > :34:13.Commonwealth champion. That's fantastic. You'd better go. We're
:34:14. > :34:18.looking forward to this. Well done, honey. Thank you.
:34:19. > :34:27.Goodness me, it's coming thick and fast. Straight into the women's 200m
:34:28. > :34:31.butterfly final. Here's Hannah Miley. She started off the
:34:32. > :34:35.Commonwealth Games in the very best fashion for Scotland, gold in the
:34:36. > :34:46.first race, the women's 400 medley. This is the 800 free, 200 fly
:34:47. > :34:55.double. It's a big ask. Alys Thomas walking out. I think she has a
:34:56. > :35:02.chance as well. This is interesting, Ellen Gany -- Gandy from Australia,
:35:03. > :35:08.she was a World Championship Silver Medallist in 2011 and then decided
:35:09. > :35:13.to represent Australia. Aimee Willmott. Silver on the 400 medley
:35:14. > :35:33.in lane six, fourth fastest coming into this 200 fly, could she get a
:35:34. > :35:40.medal? Gemma and Ellen both represented Britain in London. It's
:35:41. > :35:49.going to be interesting. Jazz Carlin won the gold on the 800 free.
:35:50. > :35:57.It could be Wales' night That would tonight. Be great.
:35:58. > :36:02.Two Welsh women in this final. For me, this is wide-open. The Gold
:36:03. > :36:05.Medal could go anywhere. This could go anywhere. There is
:36:06. > :36:15.Jemma Lowe low. On the right day, she can be
:36:16. > :36:30.brilliant. Madeleine Groves of Australia, the fastest qualifier,
:36:31. > :36:35.her first major final. The winner could come from any of these lanes
:36:36. > :36:39.at all. Champion on the 100, down on the
:36:40. > :36:47.bottom, Savard, from Canada in eight.
:36:48. > :36:55.So the final of the women's 200m butterfly. And in the centre
:36:56. > :37:00.possibly the best start coming from Maddy Groves of Australia. All
:37:01. > :37:04.fairly even down the first 30 metres. Groves did look good this
:37:05. > :37:09.morning. The youngest in the field at 19. Maybe the one who seized the
:37:10. > :37:13.opportunity and decides to at 19. Maybe the one who seized the
:37:14. > :37:19.go. So many of the teenagers have been doing that. At the bottom,
:37:20. > :37:21.go. So many of the teenagers have Savard, the 00 m Gold Medal -- 100m
:37:22. > :37:27.Gold Medallist using that sprint to maybe shock the field. They don't
:37:28. > :37:30.know what is coming at them from an outside swimmer. Don't know. In the
:37:31. > :37:35.heats this morning, Savard went out quickly, just like this at the
:37:36. > :37:39.bottom and paid for it on the second 100 and looked exhausted at the end.
:37:40. > :37:43.What happened is Maddy Groves in the centre, with the Australian hat,
:37:44. > :37:44.swap away from the -- swam away from the rest of the
:37:45. > :37:54.swap away from the -- swam away from the centre there, also, is Jemma
:37:55. > :38:03.Lowe low of Wales. This is looking good for Gemma This could play into
:38:04. > :38:05.Jemma's hands. You can't write off Ellen Gandy. Savard is holding onto
:38:06. > :38:17.it. Ellen Gandy. Savard is holding onto
:38:18. > :38:22.on? We have lane two, three, five and seven. It's really
:38:23. > :38:25.lead is changing all over the place. Lane six has
:38:26. > :38:28.lead is changing all over the place. Willmott. My goodness me.
:38:29. > :38:32.lead is changing all over the place. Savard, who is holding on at the
:38:33. > :38:34.bottom. Goodness me, could we possibly have Willmott
:38:35. > :38:39.bottom. Goodness me, could we is going to be so close, so close
:38:40. > :38:46.down this last 25 metres. It looks like to be Lacroix in three. She's
:38:47. > :38:49.holding on. Still Aimee is there. It's so tight down this last five.
:38:50. > :38:54.Who will get the touch? It looks like it may be up in lane three,
:38:55. > :39:00.Lacroix, on the touch, oh, it is. Lacroix takes the gold. The silver
:39:01. > :39:04.goes to Willmott of England, a brilliant swim for her. The bronze
:39:05. > :39:09.to Maddy Groves of Australia. Well, that is quite sensational for
:39:10. > :39:13.Willmott. I bet she didn't even dream of that. She was only half a
:39:14. > :39:17.stroke out of gold. Maybe not dream about it, but I bet she wanted it.
:39:18. > :39:21.Another opportunity to grab a Gold Medal and two silvers, well, she's
:39:22. > :39:29.had a great meet really. Just didn't quite manage to get the Gold Medal.
:39:30. > :39:33.Lacroix, best time 2. 05, she's fulfilled the part of her potential.
:39:34. > :39:44.Willmott looked very good, you know. Really strong towards the end.
:39:45. > :39:52.Savard couldn't quite hold onto the pace. Drops off into eighth place.
:39:53. > :39:53.Really hurt her. Alys Thomas had a good swim as well, from Wales,
:39:54. > :40:08.fourthment CLARE BALDING: A great effort from
:40:09. > :40:13.Aimee Willmott. Could be more to come when you rejoin us in the pool.
:40:14. > :40:18.Here's Gabby at the athletics. Thank you very much. It's coming
:40:19. > :40:22.thick and fast here at Hampden. Well done England. Baroness Tanni
:40:23. > :40:27.Grey-Thompson was more excited about Jazz Carlin's medal ceremony there,
:40:28. > :40:32.a few tears. Will there be tears here if Rhys Jones can upset the
:40:33. > :40:40.apple cart here in the T 37 final. He's not the favourite. Let's go to
:40:41. > :41:11.our commentary team. Home representation in lane six.
:41:12. > :41:21.Jones in with a good shout of a medal. In this T 37 class, moderate
:41:22. > :41:30.to minimum hemiplegia. They look strong, Van der Merwe and Du Toit.
:41:31. > :41:33.Away they go. Van der Merwe out strongly. It is the South Africans
:41:34. > :41:41.looking for a one, two. Rhys Jones trying to get in there. Van der
:41:42. > :41:44.Merwe is going to take this. Charles Du Toit with the silver. South
:41:45. > :41:52.African one, two. Welsh bronze as well.
:41:53. > :41:55.We expected it. We thought it might be a South African dominated race
:41:56. > :42:01.and it was. Rhys Jones pushed them hard all the way, the 20-year-old. A
:42:02. > :42:05.good run. But Van der Merwe is the strong man in this event in the
:42:06. > :42:10.Commonwealth and so it proved. Great experience for all, especially young
:42:11. > :42:15.Jason Maclean there. We mentioned the 18-year-old. He'll have enjoyed
:42:16. > :42:22.the crowd and the noise an support for him. Tanni was watching, what
:42:23. > :42:25.did you make this afternoon? Fantastic race for Van der Merwe.
:42:26. > :42:31.Expected in terms of his time on paper and also, how he ran earlier
:42:32. > :42:35.today, but Du Toit big step up on the international stage for him.
:42:36. > :42:41.Rhys Jones as well should be really pleased with that run for him. He's
:42:42. > :42:44.a good time and a very solid race. It looks very good for home nations
:42:45. > :42:48.sprinting, the fact that we've got two Scottish athletes, who are in
:42:49. > :42:52.the semis today and have come through. It's going to be really
:42:53. > :42:56.good to push Rhys Jones on to bigger and better things. Because where he
:42:57. > :43:05.needs to be pushed is in some of the European-level economy Titians. --
:43:06. > :43:11.European-level competitions. We're talking about, not a broad class,
:43:12. > :43:16.but the T 37, well it is with minimal dysfunction on either side,
:43:17. > :43:21.Van der Merwe has a good balance in his running. Technically he's the
:43:22. > :43:27.best runner in the field. If you look to Rhys Jones and Maclean on
:43:28. > :43:31.left, you can see how the hemiplegia affects them when they're running.
:43:32. > :43:33.They're not able to have an even running style, which Van der Merwe
:43:34. > :43:38.has. It will be interesting to see what they can do as home nation
:43:39. > :43:43.athletes with a bit more training, a bit more exposure to this level of
:43:44. > :43:46.We're look competition. Ing forward to the European para sport
:43:47. > :43:51.championships in Swansea next month. Rhys Jones will be enjoying himself
:43:52. > :43:57.there at Swansea University next month. But here, at Hampden Park, he
:43:58. > :44:02.is a bronze medallist. GABBY LOGAN: Earlier, we saw Libby
:44:03. > :44:11.Clegg absolutely dominant in the final of the T12 100 metres winning
:44:12. > :44:15.Scotland's 33rd medal of these Games, equalling their haul from
:44:16. > :44:18.Edinburgh in '86. A wonderful Gold Medal-winning performance. She took
:44:19. > :44:25.about 15 minutes for her lap of honour. Finally Phil Jones caught up
:44:26. > :44:28.with her. Libby, Mikel, congratulations, what
:44:29. > :44:31.a moment for Scotland, what a moment for the pair of you and a wonderful
:44:32. > :44:37.lap of honour, describe what this means to you. It's been fantastic
:44:38. > :44:41.competing here this evening. We ran really well. We won. We're happy.
:44:42. > :44:46.It's been absolutely fantastic. The crowd are brilliant. The atmosphere
:44:47. > :44:51.is just amazing in here tonight. I know you hoped it would be an
:44:52. > :44:54.inspiration for you. You expect it to be an inspiration. Tell me what
:44:55. > :44:57.it's like when you know all these people are cheering for you guys. It
:44:58. > :45:00.was serious. London was an experience in itself. This was
:45:01. > :45:13.totally different. You can't compare the two. Libby, as a Scot, and me as
:45:14. > :45:16.duel Scot heritage. We can't thank them enough. It's something special.
:45:17. > :45:24.We've had so much support along the way, all my sponsors, BP, SSE, Scot
:45:25. > :45:29.Rail, and my coach, Keith. Definitely. Tim and Dave. They're so
:45:30. > :45:33.much. It's just amazing. It's been brilliant. We can still hear the
:45:34. > :45:36.atmosphere in here tonight. It is incredible. What kind of things were
:45:37. > :45:42.being said to you on the way round there? That you can share! It's it
:45:43. > :45:47.was so nice. Amazing performance, how do you do that? It was out of
:45:48. > :45:52.this world. Saying how proud they were. It was amazing, honestly. Amid
:45:53. > :45:55.it all, you had to come here with the pressure to deliver. Irch
:45:56. > :46:00.expected to you win and you did. You did a world-leading time when you
:46:01. > :46:04.most needed it. Definitely. I didn't really necessarily feel the pressure
:46:05. > :46:06.too much. You know, it is a bit daunting when you know everybody
:46:07. > :46:13.wants you to win and expects you to win. As soon as the crowd went in
:46:14. > :46:17.the heat, I sort of just laughed and oh, it's amazing. When you're on
:46:18. > :46:20.this platform, you have to come out here and deliver. People at home
:46:21. > :46:24.watching can see exactly what we do. At the end of the day, it's good for
:46:25. > :46:30.Paralympic sport. It's good for sport in general. I spoke about the
:46:31. > :46:36.puzzle, and we've completed the Commonwealth puzzle, no injuries and
:46:37. > :46:43.smiles. And a Gold Medal to end it. Incredible, congratulations to you
:46:44. > :46:49.both again. Fantastic to hear from them, loving
:46:50. > :46:54.this moment. The hard work they've put in. The questions people have
:46:55. > :46:58.asked other way round, it did spring to mind that there will be people
:46:59. > :47:02.all over the UK tying their wrists together, wondering if they Cameron
:47:03. > :47:06.like that and see how difficult it is. There could be a few accidents
:47:07. > :47:16.in the school holidays! I did have a young man write to me and say that
:47:17. > :47:19.wouldn't buy him a prosthetic leg wouldn't buy him a prosthetic leg
:47:20. > :47:24.and he wanted sponsorship but it turned out he wasn't a leg amputee!
:47:25. > :47:28.It is the men's shot-put final tonight. How's it going, Steve
:47:29. > :47:33.Backley? It's all over. We've confirmed the
:47:34. > :47:40.medallist. This was the bronze medal for Tim Nedow of Canada.
:47:41. > :47:49.It started a ripple effect in this fourth round. I say it started a
:47:50. > :48:07.ripple effect. There was good rotation demonstrated. 20 .59m. Tom
:48:08. > :48:30.Walsh here. He was two centimetres in the lead. He then extended it 21
:48:31. > :48:38.metres plus. 21.19m. He needed 21.24m for qualification so it was
:48:39. > :48:43.just shy of that. 21m plus is world-class throwing. That is second
:48:44. > :48:50.place because this just preceded it. Oh Dane Richards who thought he
:48:51. > :48:59.might becoming if a silver medal because of Walsh's supremacy... This
:49:00. > :49:05.was a huge throw. Way beyond the Games record for the Jamaican. 25
:49:06. > :49:14.years of age, a lifetime best of 21.11m.
:49:15. > :49:20.right there. 20th in Moscow last year qualifying. There have been
:49:21. > :49:30.questions about his mentality but they have been answered. That is the
:49:31. > :49:35.confirmation. A comfortable victory for that big throw from the Jamaican
:49:36. > :49:48.ahead of the fancied Tom Walsh and Tim Nedow of Canada.
:49:49. > :49:54.GABBY LOGAN: A bit earlier we saw the conclusion of the women's
:49:55. > :50:05.hammer. Sultana Frizell of Canada won that. And a bronze medal, the
:50:06. > :50:11.first medal at senior level, for Sophie Hitchen. She spoke to Philip.
:50:12. > :50:18.You've secured the medal you so desperately wanted. Give me your
:50:19. > :50:24.emotions. It's kind of difficult to say at the moment. I felt like I
:50:25. > :50:27.really could have won that and my throw... I just got it together on
:50:28. > :50:33.the last round and it just all quite far enough. -- just wasn't quite far
:50:34. > :50:37.enough. But I'm really happy with the medal I've got. As you're going
:50:38. > :50:40.through the competition, you are just trying to get it right and it
:50:41. > :50:45.isn't quite getting there? What's going through your mind? You just
:50:46. > :50:51.want to go on and be strong but, like I said, the first few rounds
:50:52. > :50:59.were a bit jerky and then I got it together but that's just the way it
:51:00. > :51:03.goes sometimes. So, you sound a sad disappointed -- a tad disappointed
:51:04. > :51:07.in spite of winning a medal. You're building quite a portfolio of
:51:08. > :51:13.medals, though. Yes, I feel like it is a good stepping stone for the
:51:14. > :51:17.next few years. I'm pleased with a medal but I'm an athlete and I
:51:18. > :51:21.wanted the very best so I'm always critical. That is a fantastic
:51:22. > :51:27.attitude, actually. Well done on the medal and good luck going forward.
:51:28. > :51:30.GABBY LOGAN: Congratulations to Sophie Hitchen. The sun is setting
:51:31. > :51:33.beautifully over Hampden this evening. The wind is getting up
:51:34. > :51:38.slightly and it is certainly cooler than I was for the 100m semifinals
:51:39. > :51:42.so it will be interesting to see where the temperature reaches by the
:51:43. > :51:46.time we get to 9:35pm, the women's final. We'll be back here for plenty
:51:47. > :51:49.more athletics very soon but let's go back to Tollcross and Clare
:51:50. > :51:54.Balding. It's all gone. The 50m breast
:51:55. > :51:58.refinement is about to come with three Scots and Adam Peaty of
:51:59. > :52:07.England. But the medal ceremony for Sophie Taylor has just happened. She
:52:08. > :52:14.set a new British record. She's just stepped up from the juniors and this
:52:15. > :52:20.is her first junior meet. She is now, champion. It was a great swim.
:52:21. > :52:26.REBECCA ADLINGTON: A fantastic swim. She didn't swim great in the 200m
:52:27. > :52:31.breaststroke so this was her event that she wanted to claim for herself
:52:32. > :52:38.and she certainly did. She's been down to the aquatic centre in London
:52:39. > :52:42.to train with a new coach. We look forward to seeing more of her in the
:52:43. > :52:47.future. Meanwhile here come the men for the 50m breaststroke. But the
:52:48. > :52:51.home Nations win all three breaststroke gold medals? We'll find
:52:52. > :52:59.out very shortly. The Scots will get the biggest support with Mark Tully
:53:00. > :53:05.in-line six. They also have two other contenders. Let's join Andy.
:53:06. > :53:10.COMMENTATOR: Those were the Scottish swimmers but here is Adam Peaty, the
:53:11. > :53:19.gold medallist in the 100m breaststroke. Can anybody beat the
:53:20. > :53:21.world record holder? Cameron Bundaberg was not on form for the
:53:22. > :53:33.disappointing silver but right on form for this. -- Van Der Burgh. I
:53:34. > :53:39.think Adam Peaty has got to slow down just a touch. He was very
:53:40. > :53:45.excited in the semis. Springer is the fastest in the world this year.
:53:46. > :53:49.Goodness me! This gold medal could come anywhere. Ross Murdoch. He is
:53:50. > :53:58.only the second fastest Scotsman in this final of the men's 50m
:53:59. > :54:04.breaststroke. The third Scot was third at the Scottish Championships
:54:05. > :54:08.in the 50m breaststroke. I have a new frowned reparation for anyone
:54:09. > :54:15.who can win a medal at the Scottish champ in chips. -- a new-found
:54:16. > :54:21.admiration for anyone who can win a medal at the Scottish Championships.
:54:22. > :54:35.They have been pushed all the way by Adam Beattie, Chris Murdoch and
:54:36. > :54:40.others. -- Adam Peaty. Taking a breath, concentrating. The fastest
:54:41. > :54:46.three men in the world in Lane 3, lame for an claim five. Adam Peaty
:54:47. > :54:50.choosing to face away from Van Der Burgh and facing another opponent
:54:51. > :55:02.instead. Interesting. A one length breaststroke and the
:55:03. > :55:08.champions from the 200 and 100 are here. The world record holder is in
:55:09. > :55:16.the centre lane, Van Der Burgh of South Africa. Bundaberg very fast
:55:17. > :55:23.down the first 25. Adam Peaty in the black hat is coming through. It
:55:24. > :55:31.looks like it may be Van Der Burgh who gets the touch. Cameron Van Der
:55:32. > :55:35.Burgh of South Africa wins the gold, the silver to Adam Peaty and
:55:36. > :55:47.the bronze goes to Christian Sprenger of Australia. Two one
:55:48. > :55:50.hundredths of a second. Van Der Burgh is 27 and Adam Peaty is 19 so
:55:51. > :55:55.I think Adam Peaty is thinking Burgh is 27 and Adam Peaty is 19 so
:55:56. > :55:59.will outlast you". He is used to this, winning medals. A
:56:00. > :56:13.disappointment for Springer to get the bronze. -- Christian Sprenger.
:56:14. > :56:20.Tully Mr bronze by hundreds. I think this suits Van Der Burgh's stroked a
:56:21. > :56:23.little bit more than Adam Peaty's. Adam Peaty coming through very
:56:24. > :56:32.quickly. He looked across and the first thing that happened then...
:56:33. > :56:36.There was no way that you could see by your rise, you would have to look
:56:37. > :56:43.at the clock. Happy to be on the winning end there. Really close,
:56:44. > :56:56.gold and silver, and close again on the fourth. Fantastic race. I love
:56:57. > :57:02.these breaststroke races. Van Der Burgh, the world record holder in
:57:03. > :57:05.the men's 50m breaststroke, has won gold. A great silver from Adam Peaty
:57:06. > :57:14.and the bronze to Christian Sprenger. What a final!
:57:15. > :57:21.Very well done. Did you know you had it when you touch the wall? No. It
:57:22. > :57:27.was a tough race and I knew it was going to be. I was on the right side
:57:28. > :57:30.of the finishing line. Such a great competition. I'm looking forward to
:57:31. > :57:34.competing with Adam more often. competition. I'm looking forward to
:57:35. > :57:38.These are whippersnappers are chasing new! They are giving the
:57:39. > :57:45.Alwen a bit of a chase for their money. I remember the days when I
:57:46. > :57:49.was young and Adam is firing it up in me again. I lost it in the last
:57:50. > :57:54.few years and got complacent but it is good to have it back now. We'll
:57:55. > :57:58.let you go because I'm sure the South Africans want to speak to you.
:57:59. > :58:03.Thank you. When. Adam, that was so close. You gave
:58:04. > :58:07.away probably half a second and that's the difference. You were fast
:58:08. > :58:18.on the swim. There's always things to work on. I got quite fast in my
:58:19. > :58:22.swimming but it is definitely the dive of the next season, just to get
:58:23. > :58:26.the powerful died. What's exciting is you do have things to work on so
:58:27. > :58:30.you know you can get faster. Definitely. It's an exciting
:58:31. > :58:33.prospect but nothing is ever a given so I'm looking forward to getting
:58:34. > :58:38.out there, fixing, and seeing what we've got to look forward to next
:58:39. > :58:41.season. Thank you very much. A lot of people asking why they work
:58:42. > :58:47.themselves before they dive in. I will ask that question before you
:58:48. > :58:51.combat. Fran Halsall is going in the 200m freestyle and Chad le Clos is
:58:52. > :58:55.going up against Adam Barrett of England. But now back to Gary.
:58:56. > :58:57.From Splash to squash and it was a big day for England. They were
:58:58. > :59:00.guaranteed a gold in the men's final as Nick Matthew took on James
:59:01. > :59:08.Willstrop, while as Nick Matthew took on James
:59:09. > :59:27.what happened. The women's final. It
:59:28. > :59:35.characteristic. Unusual. That's more like it for Nicol David. More
:59:36. > :59:46.authority. Wow! A breathtaking shot. Now the boot is on the other foot. I
:59:47. > :59:53.guess that's one of the reasons why she is the world number one.
:59:54. > :00:00.Lightning quick, Nicol David. She looked out of the rally. Her
:00:01. > :00:07.brilliance coming out now. She never seems to be a tad tense. Immaculate
:00:08. > :00:12.length for Nicol David. I think the writing is on the wall for Laura
:00:13. > :00:23.Massaro. She's done it! She is the champion again. James Willstrop has
:00:24. > :00:30.been in immaculate form. Matthew is a strong favourite. Expect a war of
:00:31. > :00:37.attrition here. An outrageous shot. Matthew holds on and the number one
:00:38. > :00:43.seed takes the first game. Well played! Kept Matthew guessing. This
:00:44. > :00:52.is a must win game for Willstrop. And he's got it. It is 1-1 here.
:00:53. > :00:56.Best of three from him. Well played. It needed a response from Nick
:00:57. > :01:03.Matthew after what happened in the second game and he supplied it. More
:01:04. > :01:11.frustration for James Willstrop. Oh, yes! And now it's a one-game shoot
:01:12. > :01:21.out. This is the gold-medal point. Yes! Down and out is a Willstrop and
:01:22. > :01:23.the gold medal goes to the world's number two, Nick Matthew.
:01:24. > :01:41.thrilling. I watched it on BBC One. That was a thoroughly entertaining
:01:42. > :01:45.afternoon. How tough was that, you couldn't shake him off, could you?
:01:46. > :01:50.No. We've had a great rivalry throughout our careers. Hopefully
:01:51. > :01:53.that match will define it. There's no greater stage than the
:01:54. > :01:58.Commonwealth Games final, home turf and amazing crowd. It doesn't get
:01:59. > :02:00.much tougher than In many that. Ways perhaps you would have preferred to
:02:01. > :02:05.have played a non-Englishman, would you? It was bitter sweet. Hi to play
:02:06. > :02:08.Peter yesterday. James today. Great for the team that we got one, two,
:02:09. > :02:13.three on the podium. You would have liked to not have to meet the other
:02:14. > :02:18.English guys, but we're proud that we've got England's first one, two
:02:19. > :02:25.three of the games. Is he one to gloat, he's beaten you both? Yeah. I
:02:26. > :02:30.saw your quote actually. You said that these two don't really get on,
:02:31. > :02:37.there's an intense rivalry and they're chalk and cheese. Which one
:02:38. > :02:44.is chalk? I'm going to with Nick. I'm going to go with Nick. Thanks.
:02:45. > :02:46.They're very different people. The professionalism they showed today
:02:47. > :02:51.was incredible. It was a fabulous match. What as the difference today?
:02:52. > :02:56.It was so tight, it could have gone either It was, way. Yeah. I don't
:02:57. > :03:00.know. Nick I thought played such good squash in the fifth. It was
:03:01. > :03:04.close Aldama the way. Physically we were probably about the same, which
:03:05. > :03:09.usually probably he gets me in that department. But today, for obvious
:03:10. > :03:14.reasons, Nick's had surgery recently. You know, we were quite
:03:15. > :03:18.level physically. He played some great squash in the fifth. I did
:03:19. > :03:23.everything I could. He got a great start to about five, and I left it
:03:24. > :03:29.out there, he was too good, I think. How sweet is this victory for you?
:03:30. > :03:33.It's an amazing feeling. I had the great honour of carrying the flag at
:03:34. > :03:36.the Opening Ceremony. I didn't want to bow out in the early rounds
:03:37. > :03:40.having done that. I wanted to back it up with a good performance on the
:03:41. > :03:43.court. That's at the end of the day what we came here to do. Laura, you
:03:44. > :03:47.didn't quite get gold. You ran close. You came up against ape great
:03:48. > :03:52.player in great form. You are the world champion. But just too much
:03:53. > :03:58.today? Yeah Nicol is in great form, for sure. She has been recently as
:03:59. > :04:01.well. She's going to go down as one of the best female squash players in
:04:02. > :04:06.history. To be in that sort of era with her is tough going. But I am a
:04:07. > :04:09.better player for her being around. Although it's bitter disappointment
:04:10. > :04:13.not to get the gold I'm proud of my Silver Medal. You started so well,
:04:14. > :04:17.7-4 up in the first game. Losing that was too big a blow to come back
:04:18. > :04:19.from. Yeah, you look back at turning points in the match and for sure,
:04:20. > :04:24.maybe the first game could have changed the way it panned out after
:04:25. > :04:27.that. She seemed to gain in momentum and confidence and settle down quite
:04:28. > :04:31.a lot after that first game, which when she gets on a roll like, that
:04:32. > :04:35.she's very difficult to stop. So, that first game, yeah, turned out to
:04:36. > :04:39.be crucial. Great show case for squash, Peter, isn't it, to have
:04:40. > :04:44.this sort of competitive edge as well and Aldama seen on prime-time
:04:45. > :04:48.perfect? Because squash doesn't always get a fair run, it's not even
:04:49. > :04:54.an Olympic sport. For me, it should be, it's a thrilling sport to watch.
:04:55. > :05:00.This is the ultimate showcase for us and the pinnacle of our careers. To
:05:01. > :05:05.do it here and to execute it one, two, three has been a great week.
:05:06. > :05:09.I'm very proud of the bronze I achieved and I'm also very proud of
:05:10. > :05:14.the England squash, who we represent. We saw Nick, actualfully
:05:15. > :05:17.your event, you got emotional at the end, great scenes. You had a knee
:05:18. > :05:21.problem. Hopefully we have pictures of it. Where you kissed your knee at
:05:22. > :05:26.the end of the match. Then you found your partner in the crowd and you
:05:27. > :05:32.kissed her. And then you kissed her bump as well. Was that planned. Not
:05:33. > :05:36.the baby, I mean, the kiss! Yeah, the baby was planned. I can't
:05:37. > :05:41.remember what I did after, to be honest I tried to kiss everyone in
:05:42. > :05:44.the venue at one point. There were about 2,500 so that would have been
:05:45. > :05:48.tough. I have to enjoy the next four, five weeks now. The baby is
:05:49. > :05:51.due early September, our first child. James and Peter are both
:05:52. > :05:55.fathers and they've been telling me that my life is going to change. Oh,
:05:56. > :06:01.it's going to change, I can assure you! Here you go. This is you.
:06:02. > :06:05.Climbing up. Better get my rest in now. One for the Do you baby. Know
:06:06. > :06:08.what it is? A little girl. Congratulations from Aldama of us
:06:09. > :06:12.for that. I hope everything goes well there. Magical moments for you.
:06:13. > :06:17.A great time in your life. It is, yeah. My life is going to change for
:06:18. > :06:20.sure. This is the best moment for now. The best is still to come, I
:06:21. > :06:27.can't wait. What about the Olympics, do you think it's a possibility? Do
:06:28. > :06:30.you think it should happen? Thanks for looking at me then. Yeah it's
:06:31. > :06:39.the question we're asked Aldama the time. -- Asked all the time. We're
:06:40. > :06:43.gutted we're not in the Olympics. Hopefully, I think we've been on
:06:44. > :06:48.prime time today. We've shown, as Peter said, it's a showcase. This is
:06:49. > :06:51.a great platform to do it. It's well covered on television nowadays and
:06:52. > :06:56.it's quite a physical sport in many ways. It's quite argumentive. There
:06:57. > :07:01.are a lot of moments where you block each other out. There are video refs
:07:02. > :07:05.thankfully. I used to play, and you used d to complain about people
:07:06. > :07:11.getting in your way. The video review, adds a bit of drama.
:07:12. > :07:16.Prolonging it, the hand clapping, getting into it, like hawk yay in
:07:17. > :07:20.tennis. -- Hawk-Eye in tennis. Hopefully the IOC are watching.
:07:21. > :07:24.Myself and James would have liked to have won 3-0, but having a five
:07:25. > :07:27.setter that went both ways was a great advert for the sport.
:07:28. > :07:33.Hopefully people on TV who watched it enjoyed it as well. I think they
:07:34. > :07:36.argue that it doesn't have the representation right around the
:07:37. > :07:41.world. Is it expanding, though? Can that change? I think for sure, it's
:07:42. > :07:47.a worldwide sport now. Our tour is going from strength to strength on
:07:48. > :07:50.both the men's PSA and WSA tours. We have a really strong worldwide tour,
:07:51. > :07:54.we go from Aldama corners of the globe. We -- from all corners of the
:07:55. > :07:58.globe. We get big crowds wherever we go now. We wouldn't turn down the
:07:59. > :08:02.strength we have on tour, but to add an Olympic medal to any of our
:08:03. > :08:06.careers would be absolutely amazing. So we hope that eventually that's
:08:07. > :08:11.something that the sport can be geared towards and it gives the
:08:12. > :08:16.juniors for the future. You Aldama have doubles come -- you all have
:08:17. > :08:23.doubles coming up? Yes. Yeah. There can't be that much room on a court
:08:24. > :08:28.for four of you? They widen it a bit and make the courts bigger. There's
:08:29. > :08:32.traffic problems sometimes with two. Four can be interesting. The video
:08:33. > :08:36.review is handy. Your coach said you had to play caveman squash, describe
:08:37. > :08:41.that. I think you beat your chest and wave a stick and pretty much
:08:42. > :08:46.what I did today. You did it well. Congratulations to Aldama of you. --
:08:47. > :08:51.to all of you. Back to Gabby. Thank you very much, Gary. That was
:08:52. > :08:53.interesting hearing the whole progress of squash and where it can
:08:54. > :08:57.go. I think everybody here has enjoyed it so much, they would love
:08:58. > :09:03.to see it grace the Olympic stage. To fill you in, earlier on I made a
:09:04. > :09:07.poor joke about Sultana who won the women's hammer earlier on and then I

:09:46. > :09:46.Christine Christine Ohuruogu racing in the individual evenge. Her great
:09:47. > :09:56.rival was involved. First of three semifinals in the
:09:57. > :10:37.women's 400m. Kelly Massey is out there. Mupopo is
:10:38. > :10:46.there. The Sri Lankan was impressive as well. Already looking strong out
:10:47. > :10:51.there is Omotosho, in lane six. Alongside that of Kelly Massey at
:10:52. > :10:52.the moment. She will have to dig deep to make her
:10:53. > :10:57.the moment. She will have to dig two. Go through
:10:58. > :11:01.the moment. She will have to dig the two fastest losers.

:11:08. > :11:12.lead as well. Does Mupopo have something left? Massey trying to
:11:13. > :11:17.make it through. She's going to get. There coming strong, will she get
:11:18. > :11:23.there, won by McPherson. Massey makes it to the final, just.
:11:24. > :11:27.Stephanie Ann McPherson a long way clear of the rest. Stephanie Massey
:11:28. > :12:08.will be in the final tomorrow night. Top two go through. Christine Day
:12:09. > :12:12.has been in fine form. Miller is the former junior champion. Heavily
:12:13. > :12:25.strapped Seany miller. Cox really has to try to attack and
:12:26. > :12:31.find the best run of her season to go through. Also going well Abugan
:12:32. > :12:36.of Nigeria. Through the first 200m in the green, Milleing up on in lane
:12:37. > :12:42.three in. Front, Christine Day who is having an excellent season. The
:12:43. > :12:49.Jamaican champion and running into top form at the right time. Aldama
:12:50. > :12:54.arms and legs here. Miller coming through serenely as she does. Day
:12:55. > :12:59.will win. Miller hangs on for second place. And the rest will have to
:13:00. > :13:05.wait and see if the fastest loser spot is available.
:13:06. > :13:37.Cox in about fifth place there. Very good win for Day.
:13:38. > :13:49.Cox has missed out, Massey is through. What can Adeoye do?
:13:50. > :13:57.Just outside Margaret Adeoye in lane four for George. Montsho in lane
:13:58. > :14:00.five and Williams-Mills in six may be the athletes to catch here. Two
:14:01. > :14:07.go through only automatically, plus the two fastest losers of the three
:14:08. > :14:12.semifinals. Williams-Mills setting the pace with Montsho just inside.
:14:13. > :14:17.They're separating themselves from the rest. George trying to stay with
:14:18. > :14:21.them. Adeoye trying to keep pace with George. It's Williams-Mills and
:14:22. > :14:25.Montsho who come into the home straight near enough neck and neck.
:14:26. > :14:32.These two are a class apart in this race at the at he -- at the moment.
:14:33. > :14:36.It's a race against the clock and for these two, against each other.
:14:37. > :14:49.Williams-Mills looking very strong indeed. She comes through to take
:14:50. > :14:53.it. Williams-Mills and Montsho first and second. Adeoye coming through
:14:54. > :14:57.there in the end, but not sure the times will be quick enough from this
:14:58. > :15:00.heat. The first two were a long way clear.
:15:01. > :15:05.A class act in this field was certainly dominant. We can see
:15:06. > :15:11.coming around this final turn, as they hit the 150-mark, Aldama eyes
:15:12. > :15:15.-- all eyes see whether Montsho would come through to take the
:15:16. > :15:19.victory over Williams-Mills. But Williams-Mills says no. I want that.
:15:20. > :15:26.Good lane in the final, I will run quick and take this semifinal. Good
:15:27. > :15:29.competitive race. Margaret sneaks in for the third place. But I don't
:15:30. > :15:33.think it will be quick enough for her to get through. She may have
:15:34. > :15:53.done a season's best, which will be wonderful, if that's been achieved.
:15:54. > :16:02.Kelly Massey made it through and a fantastic run, a gutsy end to her
:16:03. > :16:06.race. She ran brilliantly. It's not easy running from the lane she was
:16:07. > :16:10.in. She did not panic at Aldama, that top bend, when the Nigerian
:16:11. > :16:13.came on her shoulder, I just thought, oh, this is the crucial
:16:14. > :16:18.point of the race, don't alter your form. Don't alter what you're
:16:19. > :16:25.thinking and you saw it paid dividends. Super, new personal best.
:16:26. > :16:30.The shoes of Ohuruogu are big ones to fill in women's 400m running.
:16:31. > :16:34.She's having an off season, a slower season. She's taking it easy. She's
:16:35. > :16:37.not completely out of it. She's going to be here in the relays and
:16:38. > :16:40.you said yesterday, completely understand that and get that. It's
:16:41. > :16:44.important when an athlete is getting to the end of their career to pace
:16:45. > :16:48.themselves to make another cycle. Absolutely. Just getting back to
:16:49. > :16:53.Kelly Massey, she's peaking at the right time, having the best
:16:54. > :16:59.performance, having a season's best, when it counts, ala Christine
:17:00. > :17:03.Ohuruogu. We talked about the other day the influence that Christine
:17:04. > :17:06.would have on this team. She's having an influence on people like
:17:07. > :17:11.Kelly Massey. That performance will have given her a lot of confidence
:17:12. > :17:14.going into the final. Obviously, she likes a protagonist, does Montsho.
:17:15. > :17:21.She's chosen Williams-Mills for this. I think, yeah, I'd have to go
:17:22. > :17:26.with that. Montsho just isn't in the shape that she was in last year. I
:17:27. > :17:29.think that, I mean Williams-Mills looks so strong. She looks very
:17:30. > :17:35.relaxed. She looks a lot more relaxed. At this point, Montsho
:17:36. > :17:39.doesn't look like she has the speed she can display. She's not starting
:17:40. > :17:43.as quickly. Thanks for the moment guys. We are about 20 minutes away
:17:44. > :17:48.from the first of those 100m finals. 9. 35pm the women's final. Back here
:17:49. > :18:01.with the build up to that. Now back to Tollcross..
:18:02. > :18:10.teams. There it was Rose and an occurrence and here it is why do men
:18:11. > :18:15.beat their test -- chest? -- raisins and currents. It is to wake
:18:16. > :18:24.themselves up. Maybe like primates, to show off to their competitors.
:18:25. > :18:33.Cameron Van Der Burgh does the best. It is like a prerace ritual. The
:18:34. > :18:40.women don't do it! And here they come for the 100 metres freestyle
:18:41. > :18:49.final. Thank you, Clare Balding. We join
:18:50. > :18:59.the athletes as they come out. From slowest to fastest. We have
:19:00. > :19:05.Canadians in one, seven and eight. Ads next to come out, what a meet he
:19:06. > :19:13.is having, gold on the 50 metres fly and the freestyle as well, and this
:19:14. > :19:17.is the 100 freestyle. Can she take on the mighty Australians in three,
:19:18. > :19:25.four and five? Fran Halsall in Lane two. Arianna
:19:26. > :19:29.four and five? Fran Halsall in Lane a good start and a good spread. I
:19:30. > :19:34.don't think they will get close to the three Australians. It would be
:19:35. > :19:40.tough. Emma McKeon, the third of the three Australians. She was in the
:19:41. > :19:45.women's relay that broke the world record here. And Bronte Campbell,
:19:46. > :19:54.the slower of the two sisters, but she led off with the Commonwealth
:19:55. > :19:58.Games title 3-1. And the faster is the Commonwealth record holder, the
:19:59. > :20:09.champion, Cate Campbell. The anchor leg of the relay. But she had a very
:20:10. > :20:18.slow take-over. So I wonder if the world record will go. It would be
:20:19. > :20:28.super to see that world record of 52.07 go. I don't know if I can see
:20:29. > :20:31.beyond Cate Campbell. She has no individual gold medal yet. Fran
:20:32. > :20:35.Halsall will go out really quickly in two. Like the Brownlee brothers,
:20:36. > :20:52.the younger one always get silver. The final of the women's 100 metres
:20:53. > :20:53.freestyle and Fran Halsall had an absolutely
:20:54. > :20:59.freestyle and Fran Halsall had an freestyle. A big ask to get the
:21:00. > :21:03.gold. Cate Campbell is already in the lead. The fastest in the world,
:21:04. > :21:10.the World Champion and world record-holder. The record split was
:21:11. > :21:18.25.4 in Asia. Look at this! Hugely impressive. She is on the world
:21:19. > :21:21.record. Sprinters are not even living with this. I wonder if
:21:22. > :21:26.record. Sprinters are not even has the pace to hold onto it?
:21:27. > :21:30.record. Sprinters are not even see this one go. The redline is what
:21:31. > :21:38.we to watch. Her sister is catching her up. I think Cate Campbell is
:21:39. > :21:42.just about going to hold on. Very tired. She
:21:43. > :21:48.just about going to hold on. Very a little bit too quick to break the
:21:49. > :22:01.world record but another Australian 123. Emma McKeon gets the bronze. A
:22:02. > :22:07.new Commonwealth Games record, 52.6. Very good indeed.
:22:08. > :22:13.new Commonwealth Games record, 52.6. 53.99, coming in fourth. So fast
:22:14. > :22:18.down the first 50. She did test it. A little bit too quick. I would love
:22:19. > :22:24.to see the world record. I believe she is capable of it, by going just
:22:25. > :22:31.half a second under. I don't think it was great pacing. I like to see a
:22:32. > :22:35.world record but her sister nearly caught her. That would be
:22:36. > :22:39.interesting for the family tonight! They talk about easy speed down the
:22:40. > :22:46.first 50 and that was not easy speed, I don't think. Maybe three
:22:47. > :22:52.tenths less would have been right. That was hard speed. Cate Campbell
:22:53. > :23:01.looked at her sister and Bronte Campbell nearly caught her at the
:23:02. > :23:08.end. Very tight indeed. I didn't realise how close it was. Another
:23:09. > :23:15.meter and it would have gone the other way. Lucky for Cate Campbell
:23:16. > :23:22.it was a 100 metre race and there is no 101 metre race yet! What a
:23:23. > :23:30.commitment. I am pleased she went for it. She now knows she can't do
:23:31. > :23:36.that. She is the taller of the two. Look at that, fastest in the world.
:23:37. > :23:44.Two sisters coming out of the Commonwealth Games with gold and
:23:45. > :23:48.silver. Imagine going 52.8 for the 100 metres freestyle and being the
:23:49. > :23:57.second fastest in your family! So Cate Campbell gets gold, Bront?
:23:58. > :24:05.silver, and anarchy on -- Emma McKeon bronze. I wonder how it
:24:06. > :24:08.affected Fran Halsall. She was a couple of lanes away. She was
:24:09. > :24:15.probably trying for easy speed herself but it was a long way down.
:24:16. > :24:20.The men's 100 metre butterfly with an English swimmer. Chad Le Clos was
:24:21. > :24:25.the fastest qualifier. I don't think he was mucking about but he was
:24:26. > :24:33.doing just fast enough. In name five, the second fastest qualifier.
:24:34. > :24:42.What a moment for Adam Barrett. Jayden Hadler, the slowest of the
:24:43. > :24:49.seeds coming into the fly. This should be an interesting quiz
:24:50. > :24:58.question for everyone. Who is the record holder? Jason Dunford. I did
:24:59. > :25:05.not know about the Edward! James Guy, bronze medal, and that was a
:25:06. > :25:14.fantastic swim. Pity sneaked a medal? That would be something.
:25:15. > :25:23.Tommaso D'Orsogna of Australia. Quite laid-back. I think Chad Le
:25:24. > :25:27.Clos might get gold but I don't know about silver and bronze. I think we
:25:28. > :25:33.are hoping for an English man on the podium. The only home nations in
:25:34. > :25:44.this final are English and there are three. Joseph Schooling. James Guy
:25:45. > :25:52.is in Lane seven. And Adam Barrett was the fastest qualifier in his
:25:53. > :25:56.international debut. And the Olympic champion on the 200 metre butterfly,
:25:57. > :26:03.Chad Le Clos. He wants to go 50, which is unbelievably quick. Can he
:26:04. > :26:08.go below 51? The other massive question, Lane four, in the final of
:26:09. > :26:16.your first international, how will it affect Adam Barrett? He should be
:26:17. > :26:21.lifted by this. It is his 22nd birthday in a couple of days. This
:26:22. > :26:29.would be a great present. Chad Le Clos wants to skip the 51s. He
:26:30. > :26:38.dropped below into 50 points, getting close to the Commonwealth
:26:39. > :26:44.record. Adam Barrett has a fantastic opportunity. About to seize the
:26:45. > :26:46.moment. Lifetime best to qualify fastest, Adam Barrett in the centre
:26:47. > :27:00.for England in Lane four. The final of the men's 100 metres
:27:01. > :27:05.butterfly. Very good start for Chad Le Clos but also decent for Adam
:27:06. > :27:09.Barrett and that is what we want down this street. He came back very
:27:10. > :27:15.well in the semifinals. Yes, we know that he has a very good finish.
:27:16. > :27:21.Jason Dunford does not want to let go of his record. 24.06, Jason
:27:22. > :27:29.Dunford is leading. Well, well, well. Adam Barrett not quite living
:27:30. > :27:35.with it. Coming back now. All in a line. It looks like six, seven and
:27:36. > :27:48.eight rout of it. Back is Adam Barrett. -- are out of it. My
:27:49. > :27:54.goodness me! A horrible last stroke. Chad Le Clos gets gold and the
:27:55. > :27:59.second goes to Joseph Schooling of Singapore and wonderful news for
:28:00. > :28:04.England. Adam Barrett gets bronze. He will be utterly delighted with
:28:05. > :28:09.that and he should be. Brilliant swim. Managing the pressure,
:28:10. > :28:14.managing Chad Le Clos. Chad Le Clos had a real look around at the end
:28:15. > :28:19.and it panicked him slightly. It was quicker than normal. Normally it is
:28:20. > :28:34.a long look. He is pointing up to his father. There he is on the right
:28:35. > :28:39.hand side. Unbelievable. It was an unbelievably bad finish. Yes,
:28:40. > :28:55.shocking. Adam Barrett did well to hang on. Chad Le Clos is nearest the
:28:56. > :29:00.camera. He declared he wanted to go under 51 and he probably would have
:29:01. > :29:04.but for the worst finish I have seen in a major championship for a long
:29:05. > :29:19.time to win a gold medal. Watch this, on his nose. Splat! Oh, dear!
:29:20. > :29:23.He could have spotted that better. Schooling doing well. He trains in
:29:24. > :29:31.Florida. A good talent for the future, just 19. Bronze on the 50,
:29:32. > :29:38.gold on the 200, and clearly the World Champion with gold on the 100.
:29:39. > :29:43.Chad Le Clos gets a new record. Joseph Schooling, Singapore's first
:29:44. > :30:00.ever medal in the swimming. And a great bronze medal for England. That
:30:01. > :30:00.is Bert, Chad's dad, in the fantastic
:30:01. > :30:08.is Bert, Chad's dad, in the He is always very exuberant watching
:30:09. > :30:14.his son swim and he always does him proud. Another gold medal for Chad
:30:15. > :30:18.Le Clos as well. That is it from the Tollcross and another enthralling
:30:19. > :30:22.night of swimming. From here on in it is athletics and the big two
:30:23. > :30:41.races at the track, the 100 meter finals.
:30:42. > :30:49.How do you become a world-class sprinter? The champion becomes a
:30:50. > :31:01.legend! It does depend on your raw material. How you are assembled. But
:31:02. > :31:07.all the fine tuning in the world will not help if you don't have
:31:08. > :31:14.inner steel, if you don't have willpower and the drive to succeed.
:31:15. > :31:24.You still have to take care of business, build on your strengths,
:31:25. > :31:29.your focus and your might. If you do that, when you arrive at the blocks,
:31:30. > :31:38.you might just make the most of being built to sprint.
:31:39. > :31:42.voice that is Michael Johnson. Wonderful scenes at Hampden Park in
:31:43. > :31:45.a stadium full and full of anticipation for two of the
:31:46. > :31:49.highlights of the Games, the men's and women's sprints. GABBY LOGAN:
:31:50. > :31:54.Thank you very much, Gary. Indeed you can hear right now, maybe as an
:31:55. > :32:00.omen for the sprints, the Jamaican anthem. They have a star of shot
:32:01. > :32:05.putt it would seem as well. Their powers know no bounds. They are
:32:06. > :32:13.dominating the field. Let's talk about these sprint finals. We saw a
:32:14. > :32:17.shot of the great Usain Bolt there. An appearance on Saturday, letting
:32:18. > :32:21.us know he is in town. It's all about a different crock of
:32:22. > :32:25.Jamaicans. Veronica Campbell-Brown is someone who has had almost ten
:32:26. > :32:32.months of the last cycle out because of her drugs ban. She came back in
:32:33. > :32:36.February and she is going to put huge pressure on Okagbare in this
:32:37. > :32:40.final. Yeah, she will I think Okagbare sent a huge message in the
:32:41. > :32:46.semifinal. I was impressed with the way this she ran that race. It was
:32:47. > :32:50.just unbelievable, the relaxation, and just the ease that she won that
:32:51. > :32:54.race. She is a very powerful athlete. We know that. She has great
:32:55. > :33:02.speed, coached by John Smith over in the US. I think that she feels that
:33:03. > :33:06.she's heard too much about Veronica Campbell-Brown and her comeback and
:33:07. > :33:09.trying to get vindicated for the suspension last year. She's saying,
:33:10. > :33:13.you know what, it's not just about Campbell-Brown. This is a race for
:33:14. > :33:17.me. I'm going to take it. She's laid down the gauntlet. I don't see,
:33:18. > :33:21.after yesterday, I thought this will be a great match-up. I don't think
:33:22. > :33:26.that any more. I think the race is Okagbare's. She's been imperious
:33:27. > :33:30.over 200m. She can jump. She's a phenomenal athlete. She is. She's a
:33:31. > :33:34.big girl, like Michael says, she's strong. But she's always been the
:33:35. > :33:38.bridesmaid. She is looking for that victory and that title. I'm with
:33:39. > :33:45.Michael. I have not seen sprinting like that for a long time. Yes, talk
:33:46. > :33:52.about what she brings to the table. She has a grace about her, but add
:33:53. > :33:56.the power dimension and it's a phenomenal combination. What we are
:33:57. > :34:00.yet to see is whether she's got the head to take this title. Veronica
:34:01. > :34:04.Campbell-Brown has been there and done it, but it's whether she can
:34:05. > :34:07.really deliver tonight. Has she got the head to race? She has the
:34:08. > :34:12.flowing locks, that's for sure. You know where she is. She catches the
:34:13. > :34:16.eye. She has a languid style. She never looks like she's putting in
:34:17. > :34:20.her maximum. Of course, she is, but she looks very graceful and
:34:21. > :34:30.effortless, almost. She's She's coached by John Smith, he coached
:34:31. > :34:33.Ato Bolden. His athletes have great technique. She's very efficient. She
:34:34. > :34:39.takes the power that she has, very tall athlete, look at her there as
:34:40. > :34:42.compared to the Jamaican athlete Veronica Campbell-Brown next to her,
:34:43. > :34:47.she's tall and has the power and speed. It's a great combination,
:34:48. > :34:51.like a Usain Bolt. But these two athletes, both, come into this,
:34:52. > :34:55.they're very similar in terms of demeanor and approach to the event,
:34:56. > :34:58.very serious and very focussed. What we saw from Okagbare after she ran
:34:59. > :35:01.that incredible time we saw from Okagbare after she ran
:35:02. > :35:05.semifinal was kind of - yeah, I expected to do that. This is nothing
:35:06. > :35:09.special from me. I do this all day A season long. 's best is what she ran
:35:10. > :35:14.in the semi. You've got to put it together when it counts. I think at
:35:15. > :35:19.this point, Veronica Campbell-Brown, who's been running very good this
:35:20. > :35:23.year, could run a season's best and not win this There they race. Are,
:35:24. > :35:27.next to each other in lanes four and five. It's a wonderful contest, a
:35:28. > :35:32.wonderful match up. In lane eight, we should give a mention, we have
:35:33. > :35:39.two home interests with Williams in two. Asha Philip has to run her own
:35:40. > :35:43.race out there. She has no choice. It's a great lane draw for her. She
:35:44. > :35:47.can stay out of action there from the middle lanes. She's got to stay
:35:48. > :35:52.focussed. She's been starting brilliantly and she needs that, as
:35:53. > :35:59.does Bianca Williams. I hope the best for these two. We've talked it
:36:00. > :36:06.up as a head to head, call it for us, Michael? Okagbare. Denise?
:36:07. > :36:10.Okagbare, yeah, amazing. It's clear Andrew, what the studio
:36:11. > :36:17.thinks. You're the commentator, take it a wa. First thing to tell you,
:36:18. > :36:26.it's cooler than for the semifinal. What can Philip do in this one? We
:36:27. > :36:40.saw along with Sumnu there's a strong Nigerian challenge. Kerron
:36:41. > :36:46.Stewart in lane three. Bianca Williams inside her and this is
:36:47. > :36:52.Veronica Campbell-Brown. Second quickest in the semifinals, a big
:36:53. > :36:58.stage performer. Okagbare ran 10. 92. At the London Olympics, and then
:36:59. > :37:00.made a mess in the final. 10. 93 here in the semifinal, can she
:37:01. > :37:12.convert it to the final? Calvert, Gold Medal-winning relay
:37:13. > :37:21.member in the World Championships in Moscow last year. Asumnu the other
:37:22. > :37:30.Nigerian to contest this final. Philip looked better in her
:37:31. > :37:33.semifinal. Always gets away well. Then she will hope that some of this
:37:34. > :38:02.crowd will carry her over the last 50 metres.
:38:03. > :38:14.Again, a few lone cries but Hampden Park falls silent.
:38:15. > :38:26.This is the women's 100m final. Okagbare, the favourite.
:38:27. > :38:31.Away first time, it Campbell-Brown quickest out of the blocks. It's a
:38:32. > :38:36.good start by Blessing. Where is her pick up and drive? Here it comes
:38:37. > :38:40.from the tall Nigerian! Okagbare storming to the line, to the Gold
:38:41. > :38:46.Medal. Campbell-Brown second, Stewart gets third. Okagbare in 10.
:38:47. > :38:50.85, the slightest breeze behind, but what a time from Blessing Okagbare.
:38:51. > :38:56.She is the Commonwealth Games champion. What a run. What a run. A
:38:57. > :39:00.strong performance there. She's showing good form all the way
:39:01. > :39:04.through the rounds. But what we were going to do was wonder - could she
:39:05. > :39:10.nail the performance when it matters? Well, that question was
:39:11. > :39:13.answered. A new Games record. A strong performance all the way
:39:14. > :39:18.through. I think that sets her up not only for this title, she's just
:39:19. > :39:22.won, but later on, the World Championships next year. This will
:39:23. > :39:26.give her confidence and belief that she can win major championships when
:39:27. > :39:33.she's running well. A big win on a big stage by a big margin, taking in
:39:34. > :39:37.and blowing away the record of Debbie Ferguson set in Manchester.
:39:38. > :39:43.Nothing that Veronica Campbell-Brown could do to get there. Yes, we're
:39:44. > :39:45.missing the woman who had swept all before her this season because of
:39:46. > :39:49.her injury, just before the semifinal. But I'm not sure if she
:39:50. > :39:56.would have got with semifinal. But I'm not sure if she
:39:57. > :40:01.What was interesting as well, that Asha Philips from lane eight runs a
:40:02. > :40:05.personal best, 11. 18. We cannot complain about that. Really good
:40:06. > :40:09.performance, all the way through. She struggled with the qualifying.
:40:10. > :40:16.She was dubious in her qualification round. Who cares, a new personal
:40:17. > :40:28.best. And fourth place. A very good performance indeed. Well, the
:40:29. > :40:33.Campbell-Brown, for all the gold at the Olympics, it's silver as it was
:40:34. > :40:40.in Manchester, 12 years ago. But the moment, inside Hampden, belongs to
:40:41. > :40:44.Blessing Okagbare because that was an emphatic victory. Let's look,
:40:45. > :40:48.from the blocks, we were wondering what would happen in the drive
:40:49. > :40:52.phase, that time when they change from the upright running. Veronica
:40:53. > :40:58.Campbell-Brown was electric out of the blocks. But Okagbare kept her
:40:59. > :41:03.form. She kept her head. That beautiful technique that's been
:41:04. > :41:09.honed by John Smith hauled her clear from the rest of the field. An
:41:10. > :41:14.emphatic time and emphatic victory, 10. 85. This is near perfection when
:41:15. > :41:21.you talk about sprinting. If you think in modern times, who has John
:41:22. > :41:25.Smith coached? Well, Jetta, the second fastest woman of all time.
:41:26. > :41:30.She ran very similar to Blessing. We talked about her pedigree as a 200m
:41:31. > :41:34.runner. She used to take a while to get going in her long jump as well,
:41:35. > :41:40.now she gets into her running quite quickly, even in the 100m. She's a
:41:41. > :41:43.tremendously talented sprinter and she is now a Commonwealth champion
:41:44. > :41:49.and by some distance. Talking as well about a good run for Asha
:41:50. > :41:53.Philip on the near side. It was brilliant to see Asha come here and
:41:54. > :41:56.return to good form. We wondered come intoing these championships
:41:57. > :41:59.because she slightly went off the boil. She kept confident and
:42:00. > :42:03.believed in herself. If you watch her head on how focussed
:42:04. > :42:03.believed in herself. If you watch drives out the blocks, know that's
:42:04. > :42:09.she's in a real class drives out the blocks, know that's
:42:10. > :42:14.really wants to do herself justice. She drives well. She gets herself
:42:15. > :42:18.into good transition. Eyes focussed and working hard towards the line.
:42:19. > :42:21.She was rewarded with a brand new personal best and as far as I'm
:42:22. > :42:26.She was rewarded with a brand new concerned, an excellent fourth place
:42:27. > :42:30.in a high-quality field. Brilliant, brilliant Let's hear indeed. From
:42:31. > :42:37.her now. Well done on the personal best.
:42:38. > :42:41.Bianca is here as well, reaching the final, first for you on a senior
:42:42. > :42:44.stage. First, fourth place, the cruellest place
:42:45. > :42:46.stage. First, fourth place, the definitely is. Fourth is always the
:42:47. > :42:50.first loser. The fact that I can come out here and compete with these
:42:51. > :42:54.girls, I know there's a lot more to come. I'm so proud of myself. I came
:42:55. > :42:57.here and everyone says it's hard to get a PB in the
:42:58. > :43:01.here and everyone says it's hard to will take that on the chin and say
:43:02. > :43:06.that was a good race. Unfortunately about coming fourth, because I
:43:07. > :43:11.wanted a medal. It's my first ever Commonwealth Games. My cousin is
:43:12. > :43:12.here playing netball, my team-mates. I'm How did happy. You enjoy the
:43:13. > :43:17.experience? Yeah, it's my first I'm How did happy. You enjoy the
:43:18. > :43:23.senior debut and I came sixth. I can't complain at all. I'm just
:43:24. > :43:26.having fun. I was nil January, so I never thought I'd be here. To make
:43:27. > :43:31.the final healthy and fit, so I can't complain. I'm happy. And the
:43:32. > :43:34.state that British sprinting is pretty good all in all, English
:43:35. > :43:40.sprinting on this occasion, you're going to make a formidable 4 X 1
:43:41. > :43:43.team. I think we are. We have a lot of hard work that we put into it.
:43:44. > :43:46.team. I think we are. We have a lot hope that us four girls will do
:43:47. > :43:50.really well. I can see that happening that we're going to get a
:43:51. > :43:57.medal definitely. Well done on the personal best and well done on the
:43:58. > :44:01.final. I bring in our winning Blessing. The Nigerian flag around
:44:02. > :44:03.the neck, getting well deserved water. Congratulations, what a
:44:04. > :44:14.performance, what a timement Thank you. I'm so excited right now. A new
:44:15. > :44:18.season's best, a win. I'm just happy, I was about to put up a In
:44:19. > :44:21.London show. You ran a fast time in the semis but it didn't come
:44:22. > :44:24.together in the final. Today you did exactly the same thing, in the semi,
:44:25. > :44:28.and then you delivered in the final. What was the difference for you
:44:29. > :44:32.today? The difference was more of like execution and staying patient.
:44:33. > :44:38.The coach was like, I don't want you to rush anything. Stay patient as
:44:39. > :44:45.you can. The last part of the race you'll be just fine. After 70
:44:46. > :44:50.metres, it was easier. You have the 200 and long jump to come, it could
:44:51. > :44:52.be a magical Games for you. I'm looking forward to that. All the
:44:53. > :45:00.very best, congratulations again. Thank you! GABBY LOGAN: You can see
:45:01. > :45:03.just what it means to Blessing Okagbare to banish the ghost of
:45:04. > :45:08.London. Absolutely. She put it all together here. This is what she's
:45:09. > :45:12.talking about being patient here. Veronica Campbell-Brown given her a
:45:13. > :45:15.challenge but knowing that she has superior speed and endurps and that
:45:16. > :45:19.she can pull away, as we see here. She will have gotten so much
:45:20. > :45:22.confidence, gained so much confidence from that semifinal and
:45:23. > :45:26.knowing she has that ability. Sprinters look at other sprinters
:45:27. > :45:29.and they hear from their coaches. I'm sure she was told that right now
:45:30. > :45:33.Campbell-Brown, at her best, she's going to be about 10. 9 and you can
:45:34. > :45:37.run faster than that, don't worry if she's with you at 40 metres. That's
:45:38. > :45:41.what she did. This is just great execution here. Just very, very
:45:42. > :45:47.relaxed. Keeping patient and running her own race. And so, sometimes when
:45:48. > :45:50.you are in a race that's more evenly matched you compete more. This is
:45:51. > :45:53.all about executing her race and trufrting that she's in the --
:45:54. > :45:57.trusting that she's in the shape to win it. It's interesting that at
:45:58. > :46:02.this stage, in an athlete's career, when she has performed on the
:46:03. > :46:05.biggest stages, she's won medals in other events, that she's still
:46:06. > :46:08.learning and still taking forward the knowledge that she's getting
:46:09. > :46:15.from John Smith about how to execute those finals? Yeah and athletes have
:46:16. > :46:22.implicit trust in John. We're look Wow. Ing at Libby Clegg and Mikel
:46:23. > :46:28.Huggins her guide runner. She won gold for Scotland earlier this
:46:29. > :46:32.evening. Scotland's 33 rd medal of the Games, equalling the record from
:46:33. > :46:37.Edinburgh in 1986. What a reception here. The Saltires are flying Arnhem
:46:38. > :46:44.den. We get ready to hear Flower of
:46:45. > :46:47.Scotland and of course, I'm sure, there will be a rousing reception
:46:48. > :46:48.for that here, the first time they've heard it in this stadium
:46:49. > :48:46.since the Games began. The guide enjoying that.
:48:47. > :48:52.He is not Scottish by birth that he is happy to wear the tracksuit and
:48:53. > :48:54.the kit and to be cheered by the crowd along with Libby Clegg.
:48:55. > :48:58.Haven't they taken to athletics here?
:48:59. > :49:01.crowd along with Libby Clegg. Haven't they taken The stadium has
:49:02. > :49:04.been transformed from the athletic home of football and football will
:49:05. > :49:09.have a hard time putting himself back in here because it is making a
:49:10. > :49:20.beautiful called in for athletics. Absolutely. This ground is great.
:49:21. > :49:24.The victory laps are very close to the crowd and it is great for
:49:25. > :49:27.athletics here. They are not going anywhere here because they know the
:49:28. > :49:32.quickest men in the Commonwealth are getting ready to claim the medals.
:49:33. > :49:35.The men's 100 metres is coming up shortly but let's look at the great
:49:36. > :49:39.names who have won Commonwealth gold over the years.
:49:40. > :50:00.# Run, rabbit, run, rabbit! Linford Christie comes home in
:50:01. > :50:17.front! Asafa Powell forces his way to the front!
:50:18. > :50:40.Linford Christie wins it. He gets his hands up. Commonwealth gold for
:50:41. > :50:44.the third time! Ato Boldon holds the Commonwealth Games record of 10.88
:50:45. > :50:49.and tweeted earlier that Adam Gemili will not be beaten by three
:50:50. > :50:54.Jamaicans. Is he hinting that he will get a medal? I think he will. I
:50:55. > :50:59.agree with him on that one. Beating one Jamaican is tough enough but
:51:00. > :51:04.beating two is very tough and three? I think there may come a day when
:51:05. > :51:10.Adam can beat three Jamaicans, maybe not Usain Bolt, that it is still a
:51:11. > :51:14.little early in his career for him to go out there and put that race
:51:15. > :51:22.together to beat these guys. I think Bailey Cole just looks classic right
:51:23. > :51:27.now. Adam Gemili is in a great position again, next to the guy he
:51:28. > :51:33.needs to beat, who will likely win the race. This one is still a bit
:51:34. > :51:37.open because I still believe that Nickel Ashmeade has some in the tank
:51:38. > :51:41.and will save it for the end. I don't think he means to do that but
:51:42. > :51:49.finds himself in that position. He has given himself a difficult lane
:51:50. > :51:53.draw. Yes, he has, but as we saw with Asha Phillip in the last race,
:51:54. > :52:01.it can be done. The focus on your lane and you just get into the
:52:02. > :52:07.action and focus. Thinking about Warren Fraser on Adam Gemili's left,
:52:08. > :52:12.he is the one with a really quick start that took Nickel Ashmeade out
:52:13. > :52:16.of his race. That is what Adam Gemili will have to be careful.
:52:17. > :52:21.Because the start is not the best part of his race? Right. If he
:52:22. > :52:25.panics and get out quick, that will be a problem for him. He has to keep
:52:26. > :52:30.his head among the great athletes around him. This could be a seminal
:52:31. > :52:34.moment in his career. It has been building. He wants to be on this
:52:35. > :52:39.stage, where he has this pressure on him. He is still fairly young and
:52:40. > :52:45.relatively inexperienced. He burst onto the scene two years ago in
:52:46. > :52:49.London by his own admission is still learning his craft. Let's see if he
:52:50. > :52:56.can turn it into a precious metal. Here is your commentator.
:52:57. > :53:00.His teacher entered him for the Kent athletics school championships and
:53:01. > :53:05.it all started there. Here he is in the Commonwealth Games final with a
:53:06. > :53:14.chance. How big is that chance? In lane one, Mark Jelks of Australia,
:53:15. > :53:19.and he will start quickly. Ramon Gittens of Barbados. Warren Fraser,
:53:20. > :53:25.23, running very well and impressive in the semifinal. Next to him,
:53:26. > :53:27.23, running very well and impressive will be a huge welcome as he is
:53:28. > :53:37.introduced to the Hampden Park crowd, Adam Gemili! Yet to break ten
:53:38. > :53:41.seconds. The man next to him from Jamaica,
:53:42. > :53:46.seconds. The man next to him from done it seven times, including in
:53:47. > :53:53.the semifinal when he ran exactly ten seconds. Kemar Bailey-Cole.
:53:54. > :53:56.Fourth in the World Championships last year. Jason Livermore. Anyone
:53:57. > :54:01.who pulls out the best of Jamaica last year. Jason Livermore. Anyone
:54:02. > :54:05.a sprint final has got to be given due respect. This man may be better
:54:06. > :54:10.at 200 metres and we will see him in that later. And Antoine Adams from
:54:11. > :54:11.St that later. And Antoine Adams from
:54:12. > :54:16.record for that later. And Antoine Adams from
:54:17. > :54:21.than Kim Collins, the former champion of course. What has
:54:22. > :54:24.than Kim Collins, the former Ashmeade got left here? You came as
:54:25. > :54:26.one of the favourites Ashmeade got left here? You came as
:54:27. > :54:37.Thompson did not make it into the final. 200 metres behind Justin
:54:38. > :54:46.Gatlin and at his last big race in Monaco.
:54:47. > :54:51.Glen Mills said that Kemar Bailey-Cole would be the next big
:54:52. > :54:57.thing. Well, he is pretty tall but can he step into the shoes of Usain
:54:58. > :55:00.Bolt? And can Adam Gemili make a huge step that would be required to
:55:01. > :55:43.win this Commonwealth title? Gold goes to Jamaica 14!
:55:44. > :55:48.just about made it to the finish line. Peoples up with a little bit
:55:49. > :55:55.of a limp but that will not matter. -- he pulls up. He has the
:55:56. > :55:59.Commonwealth title in his hands. And Adam Gemili has got the silver medal
:56:00. > :56:05.and look how much that means to him! A coming of age for the 20-year-old.
:56:06. > :56:12.A superb performance from him. A great start. He gave himself every
:56:13. > :56:15.opportunity to win it. He was beaten by a world-class man on the day. But
:56:16. > :56:22.what a performance from Adam Gemili! All smiles. His choice just to do
:56:23. > :56:27.than 100 metres is surely vindicated. Silver medal. Who knows
:56:28. > :57:05.where that will leave him in the future?
:57:06. > :57:09.should have done, exploding out of the blocks, putting as much pressure
:57:10. > :57:13.as he possibly could on Bailey-Cole to his right. That that is one
:57:14. > :57:19.experienced runner. He has that long, loping stride. He managed to
:57:20. > :57:24.haul himself past Adam and the rest of the field. Not a great start. The
:57:25. > :57:29.first ten or 15 metres, Adam Gemili was about a metre and a half ahead
:57:30. > :57:38.of Bailey-Cole and yet he still ran ten flat. You can see how much
:57:39. > :57:43.potential this young man has got. He takes the title and Jamaica will be
:57:44. > :57:48.very pleased about that. It is a huge landmark for him to come and
:57:49. > :57:52.run well in the qualifiers and then deliver a medal when it matters.
:57:53. > :58:02.That set them up wonderfully for the European Championships and in doing
:58:03. > :58:06.-- him doing the 200 metres there. Superb performance from Adam Gemili.
:58:07. > :58:10.Not as quick as he ran in the semifinal but that is not the
:58:11. > :58:15.point. In the final you are racing for medals and he has got one and a
:58:16. > :58:20.very good one. This silver medal. The Commonwealth title goes once
:58:21. > :58:24.again to Jamaica. Kemar Bailey-Cole this time, ten flat. The fourth time
:58:25. > :58:29.he has run ten seconds flat, including twice at the Commonwealth
:58:30. > :58:35.Games. Silver Adam Gemili and Nickel Ashmeade had to settle for the
:58:36. > :58:42.bronze medal. We will talk to him very quickly.
:58:43. > :58:48.Hopefully you will hear from Adam Gemili here or later on this
:58:49. > :58:52.evening. I am sure he will be absolutely thrilled with that
:58:53. > :58:56.progress. To penetrate that Jamaican trio and get himself onto the
:58:57. > :59:08.rostrum is a big step in his career. It is. It is funny, we just needed a
:59:09. > :59:12.Jamaican and it would be great! And he beat two. That was a great
:59:13. > :59:17.performance. It was all about the start. He knew he had to get a great
:59:18. > :59:21.start and it was great by him. It gives them some things to work on
:59:22. > :59:25.but that will be a phenomenal confidence booster for him. He can
:59:26. > :59:31.win the European Championships and then going into next year he has won
:59:32. > :59:34.medals. It is the 200 in the European Championships and he looked
:59:35. > :59:40.like favourite at the end of last year. Yes, I think he was fantastic.
:59:41. > :59:47.Getting medals is what this game is all about and it brings him to a
:59:48. > :59:50.brilliant place in his career. What a fantastic way to end the first
:59:51. > :59:55.evening of athletics at hand and park.
:59:56. > :00:02.Back to Gary. We will be back on BBC Two very shortly with more you then.
