BBC One: Day 5: 19:00-22:00 Commonwealth Games

in full stride. This evening, we have got the best of both worlds. A

long haul in the pool. The shortest race in the track. Endurance,

speed, staying power, explosive power. Eight minutes in the water,

ten seconds on dry land. But the goals remain the same. Gold.

Tonight, it is a marathon... And a sprint.

And it promises to be quite a night as another glorious day in Glasgow

reaches a stunning climax. I am delighted to say the good weather

has returned just in time for the first evening session in the

athletics, but we will be starting in the pool.

Jazz Carlin from Wales is favourite for the lung busting women's 800m

freestyle. England's Adam Peaty is going for

his second gold in the somewhat shorter 50m breaststroke.

On the track, three-time Olympic gold medallist Veronica

Campbell-Brown will be giving it both barrels in the 100m.

Going for England in the men's sprint is Adam Gemili, the fastest

qualifier. But the quickest in the field as

Trinidad and Tobago's Richard Thompson.

We will be skipping between athletics and swimming predominantly

this evening, but if you want to watch uninterrupted coverage of

either track and field or swimming, they are available on the red

button. The choice is yours. As always, every sport picking places

available online and there is BBC Three if you want to watch

gymnastics and rock singer. Let's head to Hampden now for all world

with Michael Johnson. Good evening. The 100m final is coming up. Men

first, and Adam Gemili qualified quickest this morning in the heats,

but you were not overly impressed yesterday. Yeah, I think he will

turn it up. I was not impressed with his race. He did not look as clean

from a technical standpoint as he has in the past, but I was

encouraged by his comments after the 100m. He said he knows he has to

turn it up in the semifinals tonight. And I think he will. A lot

of the guys were a bit sluggish yesterday. It was the first day out.

The weather was not great. I expect that the semifinals and the final

will see some improved time. Is it hard to strike a balance between

making sure you qualify and conserving enough energy for the

final if you make it? If talking about the 400m, I would say it is

very difficult to strike that balance. These 100m runners, most of

them run the 200m. Adam Gemili is a very good 200m runner. There is no

conserving for the 100m. At the Commonwealth Games, we had one round

yesterday and two rounds today, which these guys are accustomed to.

At Olympic level, there are four rounds, so I don't think that is a

factor. A lot of these guys needed to blow out the cobwebs. Sometimes,

you find that when you start to prepare, you have not raced for a

couple of weeks. So it does take a bit of an adjustment to complete

100%. Once they have blown those cobwebs away, who will come out with

the gold medal? I am really excited about this final, because it is very

evenly matched. We talk about the people who are missing, but what I

like about the people here is people who are missing, but what I

like that there is no clear favourite. Richard Thompson from

Trinidad and Tobago has the fastest time of all of the guys in the race,

with 9.82 this year. But he did not look good yesterday, so we will see.

All of the Jamaicans are running well, so those guys should figure

into it. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey will have a difficult time, but Adam

Gemili could really figure in the medals. And for the women? Same

thing. It is very competitive. Veronica Campbell-Brown will have

her hands full with her Jamaican compatriot. She will also have a

difficult time with Blessing Okagbare, who is running really well

and right now. Unfortunately, Michelle R out, who had the fastest

time. We will see. Let's head to the Tollcross swimming centre across

town for a look ahead to another exciting night by the pool with

Clare Balding. Mark Foster and Becky Adlington are

alongside me, and in the audience, we have the Duke and Duchess of

Cambridge and Prince Harry. You are excited about that! Let's talk about

Jazz Carlin. She would be the fastest qualifier and favourite for

the second of our finals in your event, the 800m free. Such an

exciting race. Jazz had a couple of tough years, so she will want to get

that gold medal. It would be the first gold for a Welsh woman for

about 40 years. Your second quiz question is, who was it? It was 40

years ago. Hannah Miley has two finals tonight. Hannah is not

traditionally the best 800 freestyler, but she's definitely

suited to the distance. I would not rule her out. There is also Camilla

Hattersley of Scotland. You just saw the line-up for the men's 200m

backstroke. We have two Scots and a Welsh swimmer in this. We could be

seeing an Aussie want to prefer the medals. Let's join our commentators.

The pool is absolutely hopping. I could only just hear you, Clare!

This is going to be fascinating. A relatively partisan Scottish crowd

have been wonderful so far. But they have an enormously loud. Mohammed of

Wales is in his first major individual final. Craig McNally swam

a strong heat. Last year, he was the fastest ranked in the Commonwealth.

He was selected for 30 minutes rule -- for the team in April. He will be

next to his compatriot, Ryan Bennett. It is going to be

fascinating. Josh Beaver was the fourth fastest qualifier. Cory Main

maybe the spoiler for the medals. Matson Lawson, number nine in the

world this year. And the new Commonwealth world record-holder,

Mitch Larkin. Can he turn his silver medal in the hundred into gold with

the 200. He has been looking good so far, but we don't know. It is down

to McNally to break the Aussie grip. If it is a really good head to

head, we have seen Craig McNally go very well indeed. He took on Ryan

Lochte in the World Championships and beat him in the semifinal. This

is the final of the Commonwealth Games 200m backstroke. All three

Games 200m backstroke. All Australians relatively slow to

start, interesting. You can't go further than 15 underwater. Adrian,

I was going to ask you about tactics. Look at Larkin. He is very

good on the 50, we know that. McNally will be lucky to get podium,

but still could. He is leaving himself a lot to do, Craig McNally.

but still could. He is leaving He was the fastest Commonwealth

swimmer. Looks like it may be likened to turn first. No, it is

Main first, Beever third. I think McNally will have a go, but I am

sure he has left it too late. Absolutely. It is now Australia and

New Zealand. Australia could Absolutely. It is now Australia and

split bike remain, the 19-year-old out of the university of Florida --

A fantastic turn from Larkin. Looks like he will get the gold medal he

has been looking for. It is going to be an Australia one-two-three-four

only the second time in the able-bodied swimming.

The Commonwealth champion, Mitch Larkin of Australia. The silver to

Josh Beever, the bronze to Matson Lawson. Goodness me, a bit slower

than I thought, but what a great swim from the Aussies. They also got

a one-two-three in the men's best 900 three. I am pleased with Mitch

Larkin. A real talent for Australia. Craig McNally, not sure

what was going on with him. Quite a long way outside his best time. His

Scottish record would have won that race. There was clear water for

Larkin in the end. Main allowed the door to open.

Well, one-two-three, and they were a long way ahead.

Beautiful shots, those super slow-mos. Do you look at those to

help you with technique? Yeah, these guys behind us filming the race will

do all the analysis and break everything down for you. They have

all this technology where they will just look at a certain part,

whatever you want to work on. It is a massive help. Sports science has

become such an important part of the training, plus the nutrition. When

you look at every invent and break it down into its simplicity, you can

make improvements. What are you thinking of this? It is

going to be head to head between Jazz and Lauren Boyle. I have raced

Lauren Boyle man she is tough. This would be a first major title for

Jazz Carlin if she can do it. The 800 is her chosen event. Here is

Andy again. Laura Crockart of Australia goes in lane eight, her

international debut. This is such a wonderful place to have the

youngsters to get them into international swimming. Hannah

Miley, a little bit of fun. She's already done her stuff and won a

medley gold on race one, day one, took on the hopes of a nation and

was utterly brilliant. Two Scots coming into this final. Camilla

Hattersley of Scotland, another 19-year-old, third in the Scottish

Championships and sixth fastest coming into this Commonwealth final.

And a second Aussie, Jessica Ashwood. She's got a pretty fast BB.

She is sub eight minutes and 20 seconds. I think there are five or

six who think they can do that. Only 1.5 seconds shy of Jazz Carlin's

best time. I think Alanna Bowles is strong. Hannah Miley qualified for

the 200 final but Alanna Bowles didn't. Here is Lauren Boyle. She

and Jazz Carlin ended 2013 tied third for the world rankings, equal

to one 100th of a second. Come on, Giles! She needs to keep her head.

She had a really good season last year but didn't quite produce at the

world Championships. She needs to stay calm, stay focused, make sure

she does exactly what she needs to do in terms of the prep and enacting

the race plan that she clearly has in her head. She just took off the

silver foil lining to keep her warm. We heard about Fran Halsall's hot

pants so swimmers are keeping warm. It is a warm environment but they

are making sure that things are ready. You can't say with Hannah

Miley that you don't expect her to get on the podium, but...

16 lengths of this pool in the 800m freestyle. The champion from Delhi

has not returned, Becky Adlington, but very fast indeed in the centre.

Hannah Miley up at the top there. This is an interesting tactic. A

crowd pleaser, I think. She's taking the race out and trying to prove us

all wrong and get on the podium. I think the pace is one she will

struggle to hold onto but I would love to be proved wrong! Jazz Carlin

and Laura Boyle in the centre, four and five. Nearest the camera,

holding the pace. Jazz Carlin needs to keep an eye on

Lauren Boyle. It is a steady pace set at the moment. She's spent quite

a lot of time in Europe prior to coming here. She left New Zealand

three months ago and has been training with a former Scottish

coach in Paris. She went to Altitude in Spain. Hannah Miley is still

leading. Is jazz making a bit of a move? It

looks like it. That's very early indeed. She may be just trying to

get the first 100m out of the way and then set into a greater rhythm.

Jazz is in the white hat at the top of those three readers in the

centre. -- three leaders. This is a

this race. 200m down and Becky Adlington is up in the presentation

position. What are they thinking at this state of the race? They just

want to settle into their pace and give its move. I think Jazz is going

to use the back 400 because that's what we've seen with Katie Ladera

key. She has back ended a lot and she is the world record-holder.

It looks like they're dropping off Hannah. It's interesting she's kept

up with this pace. I think Jazz is starting to turn it up again. She

has got a good second part of the race. Alana Boyd was a very good

1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- Alaina Boyle. On 15 turns, it all

1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- adds up. It adds up to maybe five

1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- six seconds if she's

1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- quarters of a second on the

1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- Jazz Carlin seems

1500m freestyle swimmer as well. -- swing bits in the middle. It's great

to see Jazz Carlin in a position to maybe get a podium finish. She

missed 2012 and was very disappointed to miss London with

glandular fever. Coming up to the halfway mark. Jazz Carlin and Lauren

Boyle. Jazz Carlin of halfway mark. Jazz Carlin and Lauren

slightly better turn from the Black Hat of Lauren Boyle of New Zealand.

Lauren Boyle first, Hat of Lauren Boyle of New Zealand.

second. It is still wide open for the medals. Coming back quite fast

is 16-year-old Alanna Bowles of Australia. It looks like it is the

head-to-head that we were expecting. Brittany Maclean not quite dropped

that I think these two will face each other right to the end.

It's been a long time since Wales got a gold medal in the women's

events. 1974. There is a lot of expectation writing here on Jazz

Carlin. Again, very tight going into the 500m turn. A slightly better

turn from Brittany Maclean. Becky, how do you feel about this now?

We've got Brittany Maclean and Jazz Carlin and Lauren Boyle, the three

of them - down to the last 50 metres? I'm not sure we can hear

Becky at the moment but Jazz Carlin is going well, certainly. This will

be interesting if it gets to a head-to-head and possibly the best

of those - certainly the fastest sprint - is Jazz Carlin because her

200 metres freestyle is very good. She was in the middle on the 200m

freestyle. Lauren is just a couple of places above Jazz so both of

these swimmers are really quick. Brittany Maclean is in the mix.

They're all capable of a really good last 100m. I would like to see

Brittany Maclean a little bit further. Sorry, I would like to see

Jazz Carlin a little bit closer. That is the 600m turn and this is

very close indeed. I wonder when someone is going to make a move. It

looks like Brittany Maclean is starting to try to get back on terms

for Canada. She hasn't made an impact yet in terms of the position

and it will be Jazz Carlin over just first, Lauren Boyle over just second

and Brittany Maclean third. Brittany Maclean is now pushing the

volume on and I think she's making a move here. Jazz Carlin also wants to

put herself into a good position for the last 100 metres.

Look in lane number four, Jazz Carlin, swimming from Swansea. She's

just taken 0.45 seconds out of the field but turns are not that great

and she's gone for it already. She's gone relatively early. Is it too

early? She's swimming away. This is very exciting.

She's moving over to the left of the lane, trying to get away from Lauren

Boyle and got a whole body length ahead and I don't think she would

have made this move if she didn't think she could cover it. Using her

legs, off the wall, the crowd are going nuts. I think it is going to

be a Welsh gold. She is sprinting away down this last 50. She has

clearly left quite a lot. She can go faster next time but who cares about

next time? This is about the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in

2014 and Wales are going to win gold! Jazz Carlin from Swansea takes

Wales to gold! She punches the air as she takes gold for Wales. The

silver has gone to Lauren Boyle of New Zealand and the bronze to

Brittany Maclean from Canada but Wales finally claim a gold medal in

the swimming pool and what a brilliant swim it was! Absolutely

brilliant. She's broken her personal best. She was not onto that until

halfway. The Welsh record is 8.18.36. This is a world record.

From the pace she set at 400, to turn around and finish the way she

has... Becky Adlington knows a thing or two! She knows what she's talking

about. Jazz Carlin must have known she had the strength. She's been

training in Australia with but McAllister for a couple of months.

She was with him for seven years and decided to go and spend some time

with him when he moved back to Australia and she's put the work in.

She's in great shape and deserve that gold medal. A really good race.

She knew Lauren Boyle was the main threat but was happy to sit there

and then open up. Her last 100 was two seconds faster than Lauren

Boyle. Two seconds! Lauren Boyle was broken at that point and she was

just holding on for that silver medal. We were talking about who is

the better sprinter and, in actual fact, Lauren Boyle was the better of

the three of them on the 200m freestyle. But look - not even in

the picture! Wonder. Full Wales win gold in the swimming pool. The

longest women's event, the 800m freestyle. Well done. It's great in

terms of tradition to have Becky and then jazz to carry that on. She's 23

years old. So Jazz Carlin wins the women's 800m freestyle with a new

Commonwealth Games record. The Silver goes to New Zealand's Lauren

Boyle and Canada get the bronze. I'm so pleased, Jazz. That has been

a long time coming. I knew it was going to be a tough race. There were

world champion ship medallists, it really was a strong field. -- World

Championship. I wanted it to go well on the day so I'm so happy. It's a

bit slower than I wanted to go at it is all about the race tonight. Your

last 100 was two seconds faster than Lauren so we were holding our breath

on that final turn. Well, at last year's world Championships, I got

picked up the last 15 so this year I really made an effort of making sure

that that last 100 was quicker and anyone else in the pool so I've been

working on it and it paid off tonight. Do you know that you are

the first Welsh lady to win a gold medal in 40 years in the swimming

pool? I can't believe it! Seeing the Welsh flag, I'm getting emotional.

Your mum and dad follow you everywhere, don't they? Yet, they're

amazing. My family have travelled. My little cousins have got "go,

Jazz" on their tops and it's nicer than to be to celebrate with me.

Very well done. Thank you. That is Wales's third gold medal at

the Commonwealth Games but, as Sharron said, the first win in a

pool for a woman for such a long time. That is such a great

achievement. Yes, especially after two years of disappointment and she

really deserved it. She's putting so much hard work and it's nice to see

the stop its a shame she didn't have more of a race on hands in a way.

You're saying it's a shame she didn't have more of a race? What I

mean is, the American girl, Katie Ledecki, is swimming in 8.11. She is

a long way ahead of the rest of the field. We got that with Hannah who

did a five second PB there. A brilliant result here for fans of

Wales but also for swimming in general and we'll see Jazz Carlin

get her gold medal a little later. Wonderful effort. Athletics next,

but prior to that, some news from today.

England's Nick Matthew beat archrival James Willstrop in a fine

game thriller to take the men's singles gold.

-- a five-game thriller. But world champion Laura Massaro fell short

against Malaysia's Nicol David and had to settle for silver.

In the lawn bowls men's doubles final, Paul Foster and Alex Marshall

secured Scotland's 12th gold of the games is, a record for the Scots.

And England's Dan Greaves, also known as Discus Dan, topped the

podium in the Para-sport mixed class after beating Welsh favourite Aled

Davies. Those are some of the stories from

day five. If you have been inspired by these games to get involved in

sport, you can get more details by doing to the Get Inspired website.

It has all the information about participation in your area.

Before we go to the track, a reminder that on the red button

tonight, there is uninterrupted coverage of the swimming and

athletics sessions, so you will not miss a thing. On BBC One, we are off

to Hampden Park and Gabby Logan. Good evening. We already have a

fabulous evening of athletics under way here. Football might struggle to

get back in here. It makes a perfect cauldron for athletics. The track is

so close to the people watching, and they are cheering on fabulous

performances. Tonight is all about the fastest men and women in the

Commonwealth. It is 100m finals night. Whoever wins this title will

have to be at the top of their form.

Blessing Okagbare made it look very comfortable. That was a very good

performance. comfortable. That was a very good

number-1 Commonwealth athletes. He has been in super four.

number-1 Commonwealth athletes. He have to be right on his game.

Impressive run from Adam Gemili. And there is that smile again. He loves

his running, and the crowd there is that smile again. He loves

his running, and the loves him. As you have seen this evening, there

are so many fabulous finals going on around this Commonwealth Games that

we are dipping in and out of different sports. Already, we have

seen the women's 100m semi final. We will catch up with those later.

Michael Johnson and Denise Lewis are waiting for the men's final. The

damp grey skies of yesterday seem 1 million miles away. It is warmer,

about 70 degrees, and those guys are ready to unleash some big

performances -- 17 degrees. I heard you talking with Gary earlier about

how you manage a semi and then a final potentially two hours later.

Absolutely. The British or English guys will have to run the final.

Denise, it is all about making sure you are in the final, whatever it

takes? Yes, it is a tough qualification. The guys and women

have to step it up tonight. Let's get down track-side. Harry

Aikines-Aryeetey is in the first of these three he. -- these heats. We

join our commentator Steve Cram. Thank you, Gabby. There was a huge

cheer in the stadium. We may be in Scotland, but Harry Aikines-Aryeetey

received a huge roar from this crowd in Hampden Park as he was

introduced. Adam Gemili and Richard Kilty are still to come for England.

But this is going to be tough. Only the top two and two fastest losers

make it through to the final. In this heat, we have ash made, one of

the best men in the world over 100m -- Ashmeade.

A few of these men have run quick times and could be a danger to Harry

Aikines-Aryeetey. But he got ten points since zero -- 10.0 earlier.

Something like that might be good enough. We have some very good

sprinters here, but if he can rise to the occasion, who knows?

Harry Aikines-Aryeetey get a decent start. Bledman gets a good start. In

the start. Bledman gets a good start. In

Aikines-Aryeetey. It is going to be tight. Ashmeade just gets it from

Fraser of the Bahamas, who led that for most of the way. That was a odd

semifinal. I was expecting fireworks. Nickel Ashmeade, Colin

Jackson, was he carrying something in the heats yesterday? He said it

was a bit old and was not that impressive. Yes, there is a final

coming later, but we normally expect them to come on in the semifinal and

produce a bit more. And young Warren Fraser, that is his best away from

the Bahamas. I am scratching my head, as you are. We expect

something a bit faster than that. At least around the 10.05 mark. It is

the semifinal of the Commonwealth Games. The best sprinters in the

world are here today. But anyway, this is the reality of it, I guess.

Semifinal number one. If you look at Ashmeade in the middle, he is a 200m

specialist. You would expect him to come through quicker than this. I

wonder if he is just cruising and thinking to himself, it is still a

bit chilly, I will save myself for the final. But I don't think you can

take that kind of risk in this race. He does not look like he is cruising

to me. You look at someone like him to dominate, but relax. I am not

sure about that at all. He has a joint time with Fraser. Harry

Aikines-Aryeetey is in fourth place at the moment, technically still in

with a chance. Harry, technically you still have a

chance because you are in the top four and the two fastest qualifiers

go to the final. Your assessment? Start was not as bad as yesterday. I

have such a bad start yesterday. I was a bit lacking in my first 20,

but my top speed is up there with the best. I wish I could have done a

better job for everyone at home. I know God is on my side this year.

This might be it. Hopefully, there will be a strong headwind for

everyone. I have to thank everyone at home. This is not the end yet.

But this opportunity is amazing. I'm taking it with both hands. Now it is

a waiting game. Where will you go? I don't know, I was hoping to wait

with you! Thanks to the guys at home. Love you lots.

Well, it would be a surprise if he got into the final with that time,

but he is still in with a chance. Well, Harry was very jolly in that

interview. You pointed out yesterday that you were confused by him anyway

after his average run to get into these semifinals.

Yeah, he does not seem to have that fire and that we'll desire. I wonder

if he really believes he can be there. He seemed to be a bit OK with

the performance, yesterday as well as today. An unusual race. They were

scratching their heads in the commentary box. Yeah, I expected

more from Ashmeade. I think he did not expect Fraser from the Bahamas

to really get out there. I think he did relax 20 metres from the finish

line. Fraser got a great start. I think that Ashmeade, just behind

him, figures, I have got him, I am not going to press too hard. I think

there is more from him, but not a great start to his day. At this

stage, I am looking for the relaxation you want to see from the

athletes. Harry admitted that he did start to than yesterday. But if he

should get through, has he got the next gear you need to find? That

will probably not be our quickest of the three semifinals. You would

think that perhaps in the next one, Adam Gemili, quickest in qualifying,

would run a faster semifinal if he needs to. He looked good in the

heats yesterday. His time was really good, 10.15. Adam has a great racing

brain. He will have look at the Lane draw and said, I have a chance here.

He has his work cut out for him, but he can handle it. I think he is

going to run this race like a final. As Denise said, he has the brain for

it. He understands what he needs to do. He has the guy to beat next to

him. That is where you want to be, next to the competition. He loves

these occasions. He was thrown into the lion's Dan at London 2012 as an

18-year-old, and he loves these big championship environments. Andrew

Cotter will see if he can make it through this one.

Yes, in the middle of the psychological dance and swagger of

the runners at the start. Gittens looks to be enjoying himself. That

first heat was a bit sluggish. With Jason Livermore and Gemili alongside

each other. Two go through automatically

each other. Two go through before ten o'clock this evening.

Blessing Okagbare has just run 10.93 on this track. We expect quicker

from the main men. Livermore is out quickly. Mark Jelks

is running well. But here comes Gemili! 10.07, with a slight helping

wind. Wonderful run from Adam Gemili. Had to work hard, but came

through impressively. Very exciting for this crowd. They have seen the

Englishman come through and take that semifinal. Adam is one of the

athletes who absorbs energy that semifinal. Adam is one of the

crowd, enjoys performing. And he has certainly done that again. He had

pressure all around. He will certainly done that again. He had

little more from Jamaica. At this stage, he would have seen that

Jelks, from Nigeria, seems like he is streaking ahead. But Adam works

hard, relies on the 200m strength he has got, and takes the victory.

There is a whole raft of American converts to Nigeria now. Livermore

was straining for second place. Adam is like a metronome. He gets into a

rhythm and he is able to keep his frequency doing all the time. He

hits the floor very powerfully. He drives with his arms, his eyes are

focused in front. He is not concerning himself with left or

right, all the way to the finish line. That was a great performance,

just shy of his best. The big question mark will be, can he find

another 10th of a second? I think that is what will be needed. Sadly,

Harry Aikines-Aryeetey will be out because of that result.

Adam, congratulations on a tremendous performance. Through to

the final. What do you now do before then? Just recover. My body is fit

enough to run around, so just recover. I made it hard for myself

and did not start well, but I was able to come through. Commonwealth

Games final. What more can I ask for? So much faster than the first

race. It bodes well. Yeah, I tried to relax as much as I can. I like to

enjoy the crowd. As soon as I get in the blocks, that is my focus. Now I

will just get back and recover. Enjoy the final.

Well, it was a lot quicker than the first heat. A very good run. A

better race, a stronger race and, from Adam Gemili, a stronger

performance? You were a bit concerned.

He looked a bit better. Still looked a bit tight to me at the finish but

when you've got this kind of running to do early on, you've got to really

go for it. He hoped it would be run like a final and that's how he ran

it. I was a bit concerned with his transition. He's in line five here.

What is it you were concerned about? His start is very good but you

notice he loses a bit of ground on the field. That's because the

transition is extremely important. It isn't enough just to get a great

start out of the blocks that are good you have to be able to maintain

that by transitioning the start of your maximum velocity into your full

speed. I have nothing to add in terms of his technique but what you

want to see is the competitiveness. That's what it's going to take. If

he genuinely can lift a medal at these championships... And still not

convinced by a Schmied and the big guys who have come in with the big

times and whether they've got what it takes to come through. What bodes

well is that Livermore looked horrible. I think Adam Gemili has

his number at this point but I'm still a bit concerned with Ashmed.

We also need to know what Richard Thompson has got which she didn't

show yesterday. We will see in this next and final semifinal whether

Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago and Richard Kilty can produce a

performance. He is the world indoor 60m champion but can he convert that

into a run which will take him into the final. Let's find out.

STEVE CRAM: As the evening sunshine casts long shadows across the

stadium, in some respects the shadow of the world indoor title has been

cast over the season and Richard Kilty because he hasn't produced

that kind of form. We started the season really well but hasn't come

on from that and he's got a real task to get through to the final to

join Adam Gemili. I guess the question here is, Richard Thompson,

who has been having a great season - 9.82 but in his Championships it

with a new Trinidad and Tobago records - or one of the others?

We have two or three others who could figure in this.

A new fine for South Africa. -- find.

Thompson is not guaranteed a spot now. Let's wait to see the times

cover-up. Richard Thompson, the fastest man in the Commonwealth come

into these championships, the gold beaten by Bailey-call but was he

beaten by Adams as well? -- by Kemar Bailey-Cole. That time is not going

to be quick enough and Thompson is out. We looked to him yesterday and

we wondered whether he could produce a performance that would get him

through to this final and he surprised everybody by not making it

but look at Kemar Bailey-Cole from Jamaica. He's the man I would say

need to watch. A beautiful, fluid runner. I don't think when the

pressure is on that technique he shows there will crack. A winning

time of ten seconds dead and I believe he does have something left

in the tank. Michael mentioned earlier the transitions. You've got

to react from the blocks and have a good transition. He's a bit sluggish

because he's tall but the clear factor is that he gets to the line

first and that is going to be crucial. There is confirmation of

that. Into a slight headwind, as well. Who was the most Impreza?

Probably Kemar Bailey-Cole. The big news is Richard Thompson not good at

all. He won't go through to the final. Antoine Adams goes through, a

bit of a surprise. Here are the finalists:

A good chance of a medal for England or are we getting ahead of

ourselves? If one person can tell us we are,

I'm sat next to him! Go on. Be nice, Michael! I think Adam knows exactly

what he's doing and exactly where he is. He had a great race in his

semifinal that will have given him a loss of confidence. He's already

beaten one of the Jamaicans and his coach will look and see the

transitions issue and he can clear that up as he goes into the final,

like you did yesterday, cleaning up a bit of the technique. Can I just

introduced Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson who is here with us, listening

interested league into your take on whether Adam Gemili can get in on

the medals? -- listening with interest. It's interesting that

Kemar Bailey-Cole was in the B race at the Diamond League if few ways

ago and has now shown us that he is this good and should have been in

the a race. He bridges the quickest time of the semifinals and it was

not enough for Thompson to keep up with. He was there to go and grab a

place in the final. Thompson has looked out of sorts from the get go.

From yesterday, he just didn't look like the man that has run sub ten a

couple of times this year. But for me, Kemar Bailey-Cole is a really

tall guy and he looks great. He moves well. The final could be so

exciting. If Adam Gemili could get in a month that, I have no doubt he

will execute it well. I'm disappointed for Richard

will execute it well. I'm just hasn't been able to raise his

game. I know he's got some emotional things going on - he's lost a friend

- but he hasn't looked like himself. Is it a burden to bring the

- but he hasn't looked like himself. title from the indoors outdoors?

Does it add an extra pressure? You could look at it the other way and

say that it could add confidence. I think the thing I've seen with

Richard Kilty is that he is a great starter, a power runner, but that

doesn't necessarily mean you can translate that to outdoors for

100m. I'm not sure what they're working on in terms of his training

but if he has that ability to transfer rate, he may. There are

some guys who have just always been indoor sprinters. Adam Gemili

qualifying second quickest there at 10.07. He is desperate to break the

magic ten seconds and maybe tonight to win the gold, he will have to get

under ten seconds. Wouldn't that be great if at nine we get a result

that produces a sub ten second victory. Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson,

we have a great programme because we are seeing the integration of

Para-sport and a tremendous para athlete is coming up tonight. I'm

going to heat loads of pressure on her because it is her race to lose.

Not only on paper but the way she ran in the semis was absolutely

fantastic so we're looking for good things from her tonight. She is

getting herself sorted there. But we will, at the moment, have a look at

the field because it is the women's hammer final. We'll build up more to

that race in a moment. Steve Backley is taking a look at the field for

us. Thanks, Gary. The women's final

first round for Sophie hit John of England. She is looking to impose

herself. -- Sophie Hitchen. That will be measured. An anxious

look from Sophie. So important to get a big throw out,

put the pressure on the opposition. There are three athletes throwing

beyond 70 metres and she is one of them but not on this throw. It is

towards 70 metres. It's decent. 67.59m. It will take the lead but I

suspect it may need more to stay on the rostrum. Now Sultana Frizell

Hell of Canada. -- Frizzell of Canada.

Good technique. Beyond her games record that she did yesterday, at 70

metres plus, she is a 75 metre throw at her very best. She took the title

in Delhi four years ago. She is looking to defend and get three

metres ahead of Sophie. She is looking for a bit of advice from her

courage. 70.55m takes the lead. GABBY LOGAN: Sultana is the current

leader. Sorry, I'll have to raise in my game.

Libby Clegg has already had a moment in the opening ceremony. She's well

known in Scotland and has won sports personality of the year in Scotland,

presented to her by her hero David Weir. She's a real trailblazer and

role model. Her brother is a Paralympian as well so there is a

lot of pressure in the family. In London, her parents were rushing

between the track and the pool to get to see both of their children

compete and there has been huge pressure on her for the last two

years since London. In Glasgow and London there are posters of her

everywhere. In the opening ceremony, she would have rather just hid

herself away but that's almost impossible to turn that down. She's

dealing with it very well at the moment. I think the relationship of

all the athletes with their guide runners is so interesting, isn't it?

They seem to have a fabulous bond and understanding with each other.

It's really hard because you have to get on with each other so well

because you are literally joined. At every training session, it's

actually pretty tough to find somebody who can run the pace she's

running and is willing to almost hold back on their athletics career

to be there. He has been her guide runner for a couple of years now,

and his half brother is here as a guide as well. It is obviously

therefore stop it is amazing. Tracey Hinton has come back to sprinting.

Yes, she's had to go up to 4x800m. Slightly surprised that she got her

season's best, I didn't have her in that kind of. What have you made of

the integration of the Para-sport is? There are six events in total,

with the athletics. I think it's fantastic. I think that athletics is

a sport that is helped by that. You hear a lot about stars and I think

this sport is helped by the inclusion. It's been fantastic.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Listen to that reception. They

absolutely love her and they are sharing it with their waving the

assault tyres and the applause which they hope they will replicate. --

their waving of the Scottish flags. Let's head to commentary and Steve

Cram. Paralympic sport, representing

Wales. We have two different categories here T11 and T12, they

often run together. Tracey is totally blind, Libby Clegg is

legally blind with a small percentage of vision, but Libby

Clegg carrying the hopes of Scotland against Ishitile and Muchavo. She

has room to spare. She was very good in the heats today. Perfectly

matched with her guide, the two of them, the stride length important,

the relationship between them important. 12. 23 she ran. She's the

fourth quickest Scottish 100 metre important. 12. 23 she ran. She's the

fourth quickest Scottish 100 of all athletes.

Libby Clegg going for Scotland here. She's out of blocks into her running

very nicely. Mikel going with her, stretching away from the field.

She's looking for a personal best here. Libby Clegg gets the Gold

Medal. Scotland celebrates. Libby Clegg celebrates with her guide

runner. The two of them have worked so hard together. That's just a tad

slower than two years ago. She surely must be lapping this up.

Congratulations to Muchavo, who took the silver and Ishitile who took the

bronze. It's been a long journey for Libby Clegg. She's moved to

Loughborough. She's talked about changes she's had to make. She's got

a new guide dog now, Hattie. I'm sure Hattie will join in the

celebrations somewhere as well. For Mikel and Libby, what a moment. What

a moment Arnhem den park -- what a moment around Hampden Park. What a

fantastic race for Libby and a season's best. I don't think winning

the gold was ever in contention, but she could have made lots of mistakes

to throw it away. She kept very calm. It's lovely to see her

smiling. When she crossed the line, she almost looked like she couldn't

believe it and wasn't ready to celebrate. It's lovely to see them

both there with the Scottish flag waving at the crowds and soaking up

the applause. A very well deserved Gold Medal for Libby Clegg. Scotland

are not going to have too many medal opportunities here in track and

field. A few of them to come, the likes of Eilidh Child, Lindsay sharp

and one or two others, but for Libby Clegg, she's first in all respects.

First in this race, first Gold Medal for Scotland. She's still improving,

for me. You talked about working with Mikel, they've been together

for a couple of years, there's still more to come, I think, Tanni?

There's more for them to come together. For Libby, she started off

as a T13 athlete, which meant she had some vision. Her eye condition

got worse then she had to run with a guide. In the early part of the

race, she looked like she was struggling, like she wasn't relaxed.

Once she got to about 60 metres, you could see she was running

comfortably. There's a lot more to come. She wants to run mainstream

and being fourth fastest in Scotland, that gives her lots of

opportunity to open her eyes to a different level of competition.

Lovely shots and the two of them, they're so synchronised, when

they're sprinting together. That's part of it. It is a relationship.

They have said, I've heard Mikel talk about, yeah, we have our

arguments, occasional falling out, but the goal is a joint goal. They

work so hard together, as do all of the athletes. It's great to see them

all going on their lap of honour. What a moment for Libby Clegg. It

will be a medal as well for the guides. So a special moment

will be a medal as well for the Mikel Huggins. They will milk this

for a little bit longer, I'm sure. STUDIO: It takes a special athlete

to dedicate yourself to be a guide runner. You are skewing your own

chances of having your own individual career. You hear about so

many people enjoy the experience. They get so much

many people enjoy the experience. it seems to be

many people enjoy the experience. give and take of it. The rewards are

so great, when you have nights like this. Libby is so modest. She's so

humble, it's almost like Mikel has to keep reminding her how fantastic

of an athlete she is. He's with her for every single training session,

of an athlete she is. He's with her come rain, come shine. He dead

indicates his life come rain, come shine. He dead

that she is as best as she can be. It's just beautiful. It's great

scenes here. If you don't, as the guide runner, bring your athlete

through and you fail and you get your athlete disqualified, that's a

tremendous amount of pressure and having to gauge what type of speed

you're at to make sure that you're with your athlete, it's a very

interesting relationship. I'm sure there's a lot of pressure on those

guide runners. There aren't many relationships in sport where you

work so closely and then compete together. I can only think of

Torvill and Dean, who train together like that. You are relying on that

person being your metronome. If they get too quickly, you're

disqualified. It's a different type of team work. We rely on different

teams. This is a unique one. It's selfless. It's giving. It's generous

and it's wonderful to see them both together. For Libby, she has

experienced being disqualified because of a guide crossing a line

first, Tracey Hinton as well, that's really difficult. What's

first, Tracey Hinton as well, that's about athletics now is, I think,

finally they're giving a medal to the guide runners as well. It's

happened in cycling with the tandem. In athletics they stayed away from

that. The guide was on the back of the podium, they didn't even really

want them for the medal ceremony. It's important to recognise the

partnership that the two bring to it. It means we are going to hear

Flower of Scotland in this stadium. Michael heard Scotland's second

anthem yesterday, the Proclaimers 500 Miles. He enjoyed that. He may

enjoy the Flower of Scotland as well. I think I heard it earlier

today. I enjoyed it. It's nice, very nice. I'm sure it will be great in

this stadium with the home crowd. As I mentioned, it's a really busy

evening, across the swimming and athletics. Before you came to us

this evening, the women's semifinals had taken place for the 100m. You

may, of the keen eared of you may have heard Andrew Cotter mention a

name who was particularly dominant in those semifinals. Here they are

for you now. Clean lay way Philip. She gets a

good start. Does she still have the speed later in the race. She's

powering away from Breen at the moment. Calvert and Philip will go

through. Into a slight head wind. Good qualification from Philip as

well. The most important thing for me was that Philip had a great start

and pick up. That was critical for her. She's in the middle of the

field. She exploded out of the blocks. She got into her running

well. During the season she's been falling apart around this stage. But

she kept the force going, all the way through, good focus, through to

a nice qualification in second place. I think she'll be pleased

with that performance. Confirmation of that first heat.

This is the second of the three semifinals. For young Sophie Papps,

lining up against Veronica Campbell-Brown, a huge task here.

Two fastest loser spots are available.

Campbell-Brown gets a good start. So does Bingham. Here comes

Campbell-Brown. As expected she takes the win. Asumnu clear in

second place. Her return to the sport is not something everyone is

totally happy with. Campbell-Brown is easily through. She's getting

better and better with every single race. Not the best of starts. An

average start for her. Once she got into the very powerful stride of

hers, good frequency, she ease add way from the field and you end up

with this type of performance, easy qualification.

Wonderful moments, nervous, but wonderful nonetheless for Amy

Foster. Bianca Williams is in there as well.

Maybe struggling keep with the pace, Amy Foster here. Ly away, Karen

Stewart, Okagbare out into her tall stride. Williams coming through

looking for a fastest time, Okagbare looking very impressive as in the

first round. We saw what she could do in the first round. She cruised

through to the qualification. Here, she ran even quicker. 10. 93, nice,

strong running, focussed. Everything was perfect about this race. This is

only the semifinal. The medals are given out in the final, can she

deliver? What a time that is from Okagbare.

Well done to Asha an Bianca making that final. We're hoping to speak to

Libby Clegg. She's enjoying and lapping up her lap of honour and the

crowd are loving seeing her. She's wondering around and shaking hands,

as she should an enjoying every moment of that fabulous victory.

Let's talk about the 100m, though. Disappoint ing for everybody here

that Rochelle Aye wasn't in that semifinals. She didn't look like the

athlete who blasted the field away at Diamond League a few weeks ago.

She was carrying a heavy strapping on her leg, which suggests she is

really hurt. She tweeted earlier in the week that it was only cramp, but

it was much more inhibiting than Much more that. Serious. Absolutely.

It's such a shame because she's had a fabulous season, a great season. I

would have loved to have seen her competing against the likes of

Okagbare and Campbell-Brown. The two outstanding women in that field.

Absolutely. I was incredibly impressed with Okagbareracy race.

She -- Okagbare's race. To run under 11 seconds in a semifinal, it looks

complete opposite from what we're seeing from some of the men. The

women are running, Veronica Campbell-Brown looks incredible, the

best I've seen her in many years. That's a great match up. You can't

forget Stuart. -- Stewart. That's where it's at for this race. 9. 35pm

that final here on BBC One. Let's catch up with the women's hammer.

Steve Backley has that for us. Sophie Hihchon of England guaranteed

a bronze medal. Can she approve it? It's big. Maybe not quite big

enough. It looked as though the lines there denoting the medal

standings, the bronze was hers any way. Very inconsistent through this

competition. Sophie hitting the cage ah, borting on throws. This was her

last attempt. Her best so far, her first-round

throw of 67. 59 will give her the bronze. Has she snuck into silver? I

don't think so. Confirmation there: She takes bronze, though.

don't think so. Confirmation there: Congratulations to Sophie Hihchon, a

bronze for her, the former ballet dancer, still

bronze for her, the former ballet her event. That will give her a lot

of confidence her event. That will give her a lot

into the sport. OK, her event. That will give her a lot

Hampden Park for a while. We'll be back later. We will go to the

swimming pool and Clare Balding. Thanks, and the big headline made by

Jazz Carlin, who won gold in Thanks, and the big headline made by

800m freestyle. We'll see the medal ceremony in

800m freestyle. We'll see the medal which Ollie Hynde had qualified

fastest. He was the Paralympic champion in the 200m individual

medley from London and was five seconds given anybody else. Let's

join Marc Woods and Andy Jamieson. A nice clear still head. He'd prefer

to move a bit further away from the Australian but a great first 100.

Let's see how he hit his turn. A better term than he managed this

morning. -- turn. Clearly benefiting from significant

use of his legs, Oliver Hynd. It must be very difficult to keep the

balance of the breaststroke with a slightly unbalanced leg kick. He is

pulling with both arms and getting the benefit. Here he comes into the

final turn at at 1.49.74. They lot quicker than this morning, that. I

think there is a very fast time. Peter Leek set a record in the

Beijing Paralympics at two point 20.92. Ollie is pushing very hard,

the champion from the 2012 Paralympics. The world record is

2.20.92. He is just outside but a very good swim. Just outside of his

own European record by nor .1 seconds. In doing that, winning the

gold medal here, he has got the complete set - the Olympic gold, the

world championship gold, the European gold and now the

Commonwealth gold. Look how much he's won buy. That is an incredible

victory. He is Paralympic champion, world champion. He owns this event.

He may be just didn't have the people around him to get the world

record. Prince William and Prince Harry are looking on. There is the

confirmation of a gold medal for Oliver Hynd. Australia gets second

and third to further increase their medal tally in a wonderful

demonstration of Paralympic swimming.

CLARE BALDING: These are life shots of the medal ceremony. The president

of the Commonwealth Games Association is making the

presentation of the medals themselves and the athletes are

getting their quaich. Ollie Hynd now has the full set of European,

Commonwealth, world and Paralympic gold medals. From Mansfield. He

trains where under Glenn Smith. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Listen to the reception for Ollie Hynd.

He was so impressive. He dominated the race. Still only 19 years old.

You think of how much more he could achieve. He will be heading to the

Paralympic games in Rio into the creators and, I'm sure, to the Gold

Coast for the Commonwealth Games in four years. Ladies and gentlemen,

the national anthem of England. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Their Royal Highness is the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince

Harry have picked a very good might come to the swimming because they've

seen a gold medal for England and earlier this evening, they saw a

gold medal for Wales. It came from Jazz Carlin in the

800m freestyle. It was a fabulous performance.

We'll show you that in just a second. Another example of why these

Commonwealth Games are such a good example of integrated sports. He's a

bit of a star, Ollie Hynd. His brother Sam has retired from

swimming now, leaving him to leave the family on, as it were, and he

will make a lap of the pool and I'm sure Sharron will get a word with

him when he comes back from the water.

A lot of love out there for Ollie. And Marc Woods watching on. He was

going for the gold-medal... Sorry, going for the world record, and that

didn't come off but he was incredibly impressive and did more

than he needed to do. You need that kind of thing to push

you on. Marc Woods didn't hear me earlier but I think we can hear from

him now. Yes, I've been able to hear you but you haven't been hearing

me! You are absolutely right. He did talk to Sharron earlier about trying

to achieve the world record but he thinks you need something to push

you an and it wasn't there for him today. No real stiff competition

next to him. He'll be delighted with that gold medal. He's completed that

set of gold medals and that was his key objective this week, to get the

gold to match up with the European, world and Paralympic medals. You can

see how much it means to him. He lives in Mansfield and Becky will

know him well. His coach Sam has done a great job. Nice to see some

Australians walking through an England guard of honour! I wonder

whether we might see Ollie's brother and family. He is walking towards

the Spectator's area. There is his coach, absolutely delighted for him.

Ollie Hynd can't stop smiling. We'll let him complete his lap of honour

and take you back to the 800m freestyle final which

and take you back to the 800m Jazz Carlin Wales. She becomes the

third Welsh gold medallist at these games, following Frankie Jones in

the rhythmic gymnastics, and Napoli Howard in judo, and she set a new

Games record in the process and the former Commonwealth Games champion

Rebecca Adlington was watching on. REBECCA ADLINGTON: It was a stunning

race. She paced it so well. I knew she would back in the last 400 and

come back strong. I thought it would be a bit between them but I think it

was a really good confidence boost going into next year. She's stepped

up to receive her gold-medal and heard Land Of Our Fathers.

team. Her parents were here as well and

her two little cousins. Jazz is beside herself with joy. That is a

big moment for her, her first major individual title, Becky. Yes, she's

had a difficult few years and had a funny year this year with Swansea,

Performance Center has now. Her coach has moved to Australia so

she's had to split her time with six weeks in Australia and six weeks

here. But it didn't make a difference. You can see how

overjoyed her parents are. It was just wonderful. Look, here come the

little girls! They've got "go, Jazz" on their T-shirts. It's so lovely! A

really wonderful moment. We rejoin live pictures and you can hear the

response to Katie Armitage. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ali Atkinson aims to become the first-ever gold medallist in the

pool for Jamaica. Sophie Taylor will be alongside her in the two fast

lanes. Let's rejoin Adrian Moorhouse and Andy Jamieson.

COMMENTATOR: Wouldn't it be special if we could get Jamaica to get a

gold? Having said that, she's got some good young Aussies and Sophie

Taylor. Sally Hunter goes in Lane 6, the fourth fastest. She got a silver

in the 200m freestyle. Lorna Tonks actually used to represent England.

She moved with her family aged 16. Sophie Taylor is from Leeds, my home

club. She's moving down to London but she has a wonderful opportunity

here to make a podium. The build-up for this summer has been excellent

but I then this could be a good chance for a gold-medal for Ali

Atkinson. I think this race is pretty wide open. No one is a

standout favourite. The Australians are very good, Sophie Taylor, the

British record-holder, is very good. It's about who manages the nerves.

Lane 8 is Atkinson. She will be out quickly. She will be nearest the

camera but she never really holds onto it.

Very good reaction from Atkinson for Jamaica. The Black cat, one line

closer to us from the leader, is Sophie Taylor for England. -- black

hat. Taylor is the other black cap nearest to us. Looking for a great

position. of the rest of the field. She's

streaking away. Can Jamaica win their first Gold Medal at the

Commonwealth Games? She's going to have to tie up an awful lot, but

she's done that before. Hold onto your stroke here. Coming back

strongly is Taylor. She is coming back. Sophie Taylor from England,

the 18-year-old is overtaking. Can she win gold for England? Goodness

me this is a wonderful swim. Sophie Taylor wins gold for England in the

100m breaststroke! A massive British record for her and what a wonderful

swim, gold to Taylor. That is brilliant. Silver to Tonks of

Australia and Atkinson gets the bronze for Jamaica. Sophie Taylor's

last 38, brilliant! Fantastic, again, we've talked about this with

a couple of other swimmers from the home countries, to have the nerve

just to sit back a little bit, have the confidence and maturity in so

young. Atkinson, the 25-year-old, she was in Athens at the age of 15

in 2004. Atkinson using all her speed. Taylor, just well off the

shoulder here. Coming into turn, big old turn, coming up and all the work

from here. You're right, 259 metres to go, right now -- 25 metres to go,

right now she's accelerating like a rocket. Moves away from Atkinson and

dominates this. Look, they look like they're standing still. What's

really interesting was she held onto her stroke there. Hold onto that

stroke and don't get too excited. What a difference it makes when she

does it right. It's a very painful thing to do, but it's really

important. You can't rush the strokes in the last five metres.

Being able to bring the arms forward and throw them forward when they're

hurt soing much, but that was -- hurting so much, but that was

wonderful. hurting so much, but that was

British Gold Medal if the breaststroke.

What a night! What a night we've had. What a stunning swim that was.

We have to be quick because you have to get this medal presentation,

that's scrorder that. You -- extraordinary, you were so strong on

the last part of the race. Yeah I wasn't where I wanted to be on the

first 50, then you turned and I knew I had to give it my all. I could see

Alli next to me and I could see she's dying. I kept going and going.

I gave it my all. Came out with the best time and a Gold Medal And

Commonwealth champion. That's fantastic. You'd better go. We're

looking forward to this. Well done, honey. Thank you.

Goodness me, it's coming thick and fast. Straight into the women's 200m

butterfly final. Here's Hannah Miley. She started off the

Commonwealth Games in the very best fashion for Scotland, gold in the

first race, the women's 400 medley. This is the 800 free, 200 fly

double. It's a big ask. Alys Thomas walking out. I think she has a

chance as well. This is interesting, Ellen Gany -- Gandy from Australia,

she was a World Championship Silver Medallist in 2011 and then decided

to represent Australia. Aimee Willmott. Silver on the 400 medley

in lane six, fourth fastest coming into this 200 fly, could she get a

medal? Gemma and Ellen both represented Britain in London. It's

going to be interesting. Jazz Carlin won the gold on the 800 free.

It could be Wales' night That would tonight. Be great.

Two Welsh women in this final. For me, this is wide-open. The Gold

Medal could go anywhere. This could go anywhere. There is

Jemma Lowe low. On the right day, she can be

brilliant. Madeleine Groves of Australia, the fastest qualifier,

her first major final. The winner could come from any of these lanes

at all. Champion on the 100, down on the

bottom, Savard, from Canada in eight.

So the final of the women's 200m butterfly. And in the centre

possibly the best start coming from Maddy Groves of Australia. All

fairly even down the first 30 metres. Groves did look good this

morning. The youngest in the field at 19. Maybe the one who seized the

opportunity and decides to at 19. Maybe the one who seized the

go. So many of the teenagers have been doing that. At the bottom,

go. So many of the teenagers have Savard, the 00 m Gold Medal -- 100m

Gold Medallist using that sprint to maybe shock the field. They don't

know what is coming at them from an outside swimmer. Don't know. In the

heats this morning, Savard went out quickly, just like this at the

bottom and paid for it on the second 100 and looked exhausted at the end.

What happened is Maddy Groves in the centre, with the Australian hat,

swap away from the -- swam away from the rest of the

swap away from the -- swam away from the centre there, also, is Jemma

Lowe low of Wales. This is looking good for Gemma This could play into

Jemma's hands. You can't write off Ellen Gandy. Savard is holding onto

it. Ellen Gandy. Savard is holding onto

on? We have lane two, three, five and seven. It's really

lead is changing all over the place. Lane six has

lead is changing all over the place. Willmott. My goodness me.

lead is changing all over the place. Savard, who is holding on at the

bottom. Goodness me, could we possibly have Willmott

bottom. Goodness me, could we is going to be so close, so close

down this last 25 metres. It looks like to be Lacroix in three. She's

holding on. Still Aimee is there. It's so tight down this last five.

Who will get the touch? It looks like it may be up in lane three,

Lacroix, on the touch, oh, it is. Lacroix takes the gold. The silver

goes to Willmott of England, a brilliant swim for her. The bronze

to Maddy Groves of Australia. Well, that is quite sensational for

Willmott. I bet she didn't even dream of that. She was only half a

stroke out of gold. Maybe not dream about it, but I bet she wanted it.

Another opportunity to grab a Gold Medal and two silvers, well, she's

had a great meet really. Just didn't quite manage to get the Gold Medal.

Lacroix, best time 2. 05, she's fulfilled the part of her potential.

Willmott looked very good, you know. Really strong towards the end.

Savard couldn't quite hold onto the pace. Drops off into eighth place.

Really hurt her. Alys Thomas had a good swim as well, from Wales,

fourthment CLARE BALDING: A great effort from

Aimee Willmott. Could be more to come when you rejoin us in the pool.

Here's Gabby at the athletics. Thank you very much. It's coming

thick and fast here at Hampden. Well done England. Baroness Tanni

Grey-Thompson was more excited about Jazz Carlin's medal ceremony there,

a few tears. Will there be tears here if Rhys Jones can upset the

apple cart here in the T 37 final. He's not the favourite. Let's go to

our commentary team. Home representation in lane six.

Jones in with a good shout of a medal. In this T 37 class, moderate

to minimum hemiplegia. They look strong, Van der Merwe and Du Toit.

Away they go. Van der Merwe out strongly. It is the South Africans

looking for a one, two. Rhys Jones trying to get in there. Van der

Merwe is going to take this. Charles Du Toit with the silver. South

African one, two. Welsh bronze as well.

We expected it. We thought it might be a South African dominated race

and it was. Rhys Jones pushed them hard all the way, the 20-year-old. A

good run. But Van der Merwe is the strong man in this event in the

Commonwealth and so it proved. Great experience for all, especially young

Jason Maclean there. We mentioned the 18-year-old. He'll have enjoyed

the crowd and the noise an support for him. Tanni was watching, what

did you make this afternoon? Fantastic race for Van der Merwe.

Expected in terms of his time on paper and also, how he ran earlier

today, but Du Toit big step up on the international stage for him.

Rhys Jones as well should be really pleased with that run for him. He's

a good time and a very solid race. It looks very good for home nations

sprinting, the fact that we've got two Scottish athletes, who are in

the semis today and have come through. It's going to be really

good to push Rhys Jones on to bigger and better things. Because where he

needs to be pushed is in some of the European-level economy Titians. --

European-level competitions. We're talking about, not a broad class,

but the T 37, well it is with minimal dysfunction on either side,

Van der Merwe has a good balance in his running. Technically he's the

best runner in the field. If you look to Rhys Jones and Maclean on

left, you can see how the hemiplegia affects them when they're running.

They're not able to have an even running style, which Van der Merwe

has. It will be interesting to see what they can do as home nation

athletes with a bit more training, a bit more exposure to this level of

We're look competition. Ing forward to the European para sport

championships in Swansea next month. Rhys Jones will be enjoying himself

there at Swansea University next month. But here, at Hampden Park, he

is a bronze medallist. GABBY LOGAN: Earlier, we saw Libby

Clegg absolutely dominant in the final of the T12 100 metres winning

Scotland's 33rd medal of these Games, equalling their haul from

Edinburgh in '86. A wonderful Gold Medal-winning performance. She took

about 15 minutes for her lap of honour. Finally Phil Jones caught up

with her. Libby, Mikel, congratulations, what

a moment for Scotland, what a moment for the pair of you and a wonderful

lap of honour, describe what this means to you. It's been fantastic

competing here this evening. We ran really well. We won. We're happy.

It's been absolutely fantastic. The crowd are brilliant. The atmosphere

is just amazing in here tonight. I know you hoped it would be an

inspiration for you. You expect it to be an inspiration. Tell me what

it's like when you know all these people are cheering for you guys. It

was serious. London was an experience in itself. This was

totally different. You can't compare the two. Libby, as a Scot, and me as

duel Scot heritage. We can't thank them enough. It's something special.

We've had so much support along the way, all my sponsors, BP, SSE, Scot

Rail, and my coach, Keith. Definitely. Tim and Dave. They're so

much. It's just amazing. It's been brilliant. We can still hear the

atmosphere in here tonight. It is incredible. What kind of things were

being said to you on the way round there? That you can share! It's it

was so nice. Amazing performance, how do you do that? It was out of

this world. Saying how proud they were. It was amazing, honestly. Amid

it all, you had to come here with the pressure to deliver. Irch

expected to you win and you did. You did a world-leading time when you

most needed it. Definitely. I didn't really necessarily feel the pressure

too much. You know, it is a bit daunting when you know everybody

wants you to win and expects you to win. As soon as the crowd went in

the heat, I sort of just laughed and oh, it's amazing. When you're on

this platform, you have to come out here and deliver. People at home

watching can see exactly what we do. At the end of the day, it's good for

Paralympic sport. It's good for sport in general. I spoke about the

puzzle, and we've completed the Commonwealth puzzle, no injuries and

smiles. And a Gold Medal to end it. Incredible, congratulations to you

both again. Fantastic to hear from them, loving

this moment. The hard work they've put in. The questions people have

asked other way round, it did spring to mind that there will be people

all over the UK tying their wrists together, wondering if they Cameron

like that and see how difficult it is. There could be a few accidents

in the school holidays! I did have a young man write to me and say that

wouldn't buy him a prosthetic leg wouldn't buy him a prosthetic leg

and he wanted sponsorship but it turned out he wasn't a leg amputee!

It is the men's shot-put final tonight. How's it going, Steve

Backley? It's all over. We've confirmed the

medallist. This was the bronze medal for Tim Nedow of Canada.

It started a ripple effect in this fourth round. I say it started a

ripple effect. There was good rotation demonstrated. 20 .59m. Tom

Walsh here. He was two centimetres in the lead. He then extended it 21

metres plus. 21.19m. He needed 21.24m for qualification so it was

just shy of that. 21m plus is world-class throwing. That is second

place because this just preceded it. Oh Dane Richards who thought he

might becoming if a silver medal because of Walsh's supremacy... This

was a huge throw. Way beyond the Games record for the Jamaican. 25

years of age, a lifetime best of 21.11m.

right there. 20th in Moscow last year qualifying. There have been

questions about his mentality but they have been answered. That is the

confirmation. A comfortable victory for that big throw from the Jamaican

ahead of the fancied Tom Walsh and Tim Nedow of Canada.

GABBY LOGAN: A bit earlier we saw the conclusion of the women's

hammer. Sultana Frizell of Canada won that. And a bronze medal, the

first medal at senior level, for Sophie Hitchen. She spoke to Philip.

You've secured the medal you so desperately wanted. Give me your

emotions. It's kind of difficult to say at the moment. I felt like I

really could have won that and my throw... I just got it together on

the last round and it just all quite far enough. -- just wasn't quite far

enough. But I'm really happy with the medal I've got. As you're going

through the competition, you are just trying to get it right and it

isn't quite getting there? What's going through your mind? You just

want to go on and be strong but, like I said, the first few rounds

were a bit jerky and then I got it together but that's just the way it

goes sometimes. So, you sound a sad disappointed -- a tad disappointed

in spite of winning a medal. You're building quite a portfolio of

medals, though. Yes, I feel like it is a good stepping stone for the

next few years. I'm pleased with a medal but I'm an athlete and I

wanted the very best so I'm always critical. That is a fantastic

attitude, actually. Well done on the medal and good luck going forward.

GABBY LOGAN: Congratulations to Sophie Hitchen. The sun is setting

beautifully over Hampden this evening. The wind is getting up

slightly and it is certainly cooler than I was for the 100m semifinals

so it will be interesting to see where the temperature reaches by the

time we get to 9:35pm, the women's final. We'll be back here for plenty

more athletics very soon but let's go back to Tollcross and Clare

Balding. It's all gone. The 50m breast

refinement is about to come with three Scots and Adam Peaty of

England. But the medal ceremony for Sophie Taylor has just happened. She

set a new British record. She's just stepped up from the juniors and this

is her first junior meet. She is now, champion. It was a great swim.

REBECCA ADLINGTON: A fantastic swim. She didn't swim great in the 200m

breaststroke so this was her event that she wanted to claim for herself

and she certainly did. She's been down to the aquatic centre in London

to train with a new coach. We look forward to seeing more of her in the

future. Meanwhile here come the men for the 50m breaststroke. But the

home Nations win all three breaststroke gold medals? We'll find

out very shortly. The Scots will get the biggest support with Mark Tully

in-line six. They also have two other contenders. Let's join Andy.

COMMENTATOR: Those were the Scottish swimmers but here is Adam Peaty, the

gold medallist in the 100m breaststroke. Can anybody beat the

world record holder? Cameron Bundaberg was not on form for the

disappointing silver but right on form for this. -- Van Der Burgh. I

think Adam Peaty has got to slow down just a touch. He was very

excited in the semis. Springer is the fastest in the world this year.

Goodness me! This gold medal could come anywhere. Ross Murdoch. He is

only the second fastest Scotsman in this final of the men's 50m

breaststroke. The third Scot was third at the Scottish Championships

in the 50m breaststroke. I have a new frowned reparation for anyone

who can win a medal at the Scottish champ in chips. -- a new-found

admiration for anyone who can win a medal at the Scottish Championships.

They have been pushed all the way by Adam Beattie, Chris Murdoch and

others. -- Adam Peaty. Taking a breath, concentrating. The fastest

three men in the world in Lane 3, lame for an claim five. Adam Peaty

choosing to face away from Van Der Burgh and facing another opponent

instead. Interesting. A one length breaststroke and the

champions from the 200 and 100 are here. The world record holder is in

the centre lane, Van Der Burgh of South Africa. Bundaberg very fast

down the first 25. Adam Peaty in the black hat is coming through. It

looks like it may be Van Der Burgh who gets the touch. Cameron Van Der

Burgh of South Africa wins the gold, the silver to Adam Peaty and

the bronze goes to Christian Sprenger of Australia. Two one

hundredths of a second. Van Der Burgh is 27 and Adam Peaty is 19 so

I think Adam Peaty is thinking Burgh is 27 and Adam Peaty is 19 so

will outlast you". He is used to this, winning medals. A

disappointment for Springer to get the bronze. -- Christian Sprenger.

Tully Mr bronze by hundreds. I think this suits Van Der Burgh's stroked a

little bit more than Adam Peaty's. Adam Peaty coming through very

quickly. He looked across and the first thing that happened then...

There was no way that you could see by your rise, you would have to look

at the clock. Happy to be on the winning end there. Really close,

gold and silver, and close again on the fourth. Fantastic race. I love

these breaststroke races. Van Der Burgh, the world record holder in

the men's 50m breaststroke, has won gold. A great silver from Adam Peaty

and the bronze to Christian Sprenger. What a final!

Very well done. Did you know you had it when you touch the wall? No. It

was a tough race and I knew it was going to be. I was on the right side

of the finishing line. Such a great competition. I'm looking forward to

competing with Adam more often. competition. I'm looking forward to

These are whippersnappers are chasing new! They are giving the

Alwen a bit of a chase for their money. I remember the days when I

was young and Adam is firing it up in me again. I lost it in the last

few years and got complacent but it is good to have it back now. We'll

let you go because I'm sure the South Africans want to speak to you.

Thank you. When. Adam, that was so close. You gave

away probably half a second and that's the difference. You were fast

on the swim. There's always things to work on. I got quite fast in my

swimming but it is definitely the dive of the next season, just to get

the powerful died. What's exciting is you do have things to work on so

you know you can get faster. Definitely. It's an exciting

prospect but nothing is ever a given so I'm looking forward to getting

out there, fixing, and seeing what we've got to look forward to next

season. Thank you very much. A lot of people asking why they work

themselves before they dive in. I will ask that question before you

combat. Fran Halsall is going in the 200m freestyle and Chad le Clos is

going up against Adam Barrett of England. But now back to Gary.

From Splash to squash and it was a big day for England. They were

guaranteed a gold in the men's final as Nick Matthew took on James

Willstrop, while as Nick Matthew took on James

what happened. The women's final. It

characteristic. Unusual. That's more like it for Nicol David. More

authority. Wow! A breathtaking shot. Now the boot is on the other foot. I

guess that's one of the reasons why she is the world number one.

Lightning quick, Nicol David. She looked out of the rally. Her

brilliance coming out now. She never seems to be a tad tense. Immaculate

length for Nicol David. I think the writing is on the wall for Laura

Massaro. She's done it! She is the champion again. James Willstrop has

been in immaculate form. Matthew is a strong favourite. Expect a war of

attrition here. An outrageous shot. Matthew holds on and the number one

seed takes the first game. Well played! Kept Matthew guessing. This

is a must win game for Willstrop. And he's got it. It is 1-1 here.

Best of three from him. Well played. It needed a response from Nick

Matthew after what happened in the second game and he supplied it. More

frustration for James Willstrop. Oh, yes! And now it's a one-game shoot

out. This is the gold-medal point. Yes! Down and out is a Willstrop and

the gold medal goes to the world's number two, Nick Matthew.

thrilling. I watched it on BBC One. That was a thoroughly entertaining

afternoon. How tough was that, you couldn't shake him off, could you?

No. We've had a great rivalry throughout our careers. Hopefully

that match will define it. There's no greater stage than the

Commonwealth Games final, home turf and amazing crowd. It doesn't get

much tougher than In many that. Ways perhaps you would have preferred to

have played a non-Englishman, would you? It was bitter sweet. Hi to play

Peter yesterday. James today. Great for the team that we got one, two,

three on the podium. You would have liked to not have to meet the other

English guys, but we're proud that we've got England's first one, two

three of the games. Is he one to gloat, he's beaten you both? Yeah. I

saw your quote actually. You said that these two don't really get on,

there's an intense rivalry and they're chalk and cheese. Which one

is chalk? I'm going to with Nick. I'm going to go with Nick. Thanks.

They're very different people. The professionalism they showed today

was incredible. It was a fabulous match. What as the difference today?

It was so tight, it could have gone either It was, way. Yeah. I don't

know. Nick I thought played such good squash in the fifth. It was

close Aldama the way. Physically we were probably about the same, which

usually probably he gets me in that department. But today, for obvious

reasons, Nick's had surgery recently. You know, we were quite

level physically. He played some great squash in the fifth. I did

everything I could. He got a great start to about five, and I left it

out there, he was too good, I think. How sweet is this victory for you?

It's an amazing feeling. I had the great honour of carrying the flag at

the Opening Ceremony. I didn't want to bow out in the early rounds

having done that. I wanted to back it up with a good performance on the

court. That's at the end of the day what we came here to do. Laura, you

didn't quite get gold. You ran close. You came up against ape great

player in great form. You are the world champion. But just too much

today? Yeah Nicol is in great form, for sure. She has been recently as

well. She's going to go down as one of the best female squash players in

history. To be in that sort of era with her is tough going. But I am a

better player for her being around. Although it's bitter disappointment

not to get the gold I'm proud of my Silver Medal. You started so well,

7-4 up in the first game. Losing that was too big a blow to come back

from. Yeah, you look back at turning points in the match and for sure,

maybe the first game could have changed the way it panned out after

that. She seemed to gain in momentum and confidence and settle down quite

a lot after that first game, which when she gets on a roll like, that

she's very difficult to stop. So, that first game, yeah, turned out to

be crucial. Great show case for squash, Peter, isn't it, to have

this sort of competitive edge as well and Aldama seen on prime-time

perfect? Because squash doesn't always get a fair run, it's not even

an Olympic sport. For me, it should be, it's a thrilling sport to watch.

This is the ultimate showcase for us and the pinnacle of our careers. To

do it here and to execute it one, two, three has been a great week.

I'm very proud of the bronze I achieved and I'm also very proud of

the England squash, who we represent. We saw Nick, actualfully

your event, you got emotional at the end, great scenes. You had a knee

problem. Hopefully we have pictures of it. Where you kissed your knee at

the end of the match. Then you found your partner in the crowd and you

kissed her. And then you kissed her bump as well. Was that planned. Not

the baby, I mean, the kiss! Yeah, the baby was planned. I can't

remember what I did after, to be honest I tried to kiss everyone in

the venue at one point. There were about 2,500 so that would have been

tough. I have to enjoy the next four, five weeks now. The baby is

due early September, our first child. James and Peter are both

fathers and they've been telling me that my life is going to change. Oh,

it's going to change, I can assure you! Here you go. This is you.

Climbing up. Better get my rest in now. One for the Do you baby. Know

what it is? A little girl. Congratulations from Aldama of us

for that. I hope everything goes well there. Magical moments for you.

A great time in your life. It is, yeah. My life is going to change for

sure. This is the best moment for now. The best is still to come, I

can't wait. What about the Olympics, do you think it's a possibility? Do

you think it should happen? Thanks for looking at me then. Yeah it's

the question we're asked Aldama the time. -- Asked all the time. We're

gutted we're not in the Olympics. Hopefully, I think we've been on

prime time today. We've shown, as Peter said, it's a showcase. This is

a great platform to do it. It's well covered on television nowadays and

it's quite a physical sport in many ways. It's quite argumentive. There

are a lot of moments where you block each other out. There are video refs

thankfully. I used to play, and you used d to complain about people

getting in your way. The video review, adds a bit of drama.

Prolonging it, the hand clapping, getting into it, like hawk yay in

tennis. -- Hawk-Eye in tennis. Hopefully the IOC are watching.

Myself and James would have liked to have won 3-0, but having a five

setter that went both ways was a great advert for the sport.

Hopefully people on TV who watched it enjoyed it as well. I think they

argue that it doesn't have the representation right around the

world. Is it expanding, though? Can that change? I think for sure, it's

a worldwide sport now. Our tour is going from strength to strength on

both the men's PSA and WSA tours. We have a really strong worldwide tour,

we go from Aldama corners of the globe. We -- from all corners of the

globe. We get big crowds wherever we go now. We wouldn't turn down the

strength we have on tour, but to add an Olympic medal to any of our

careers would be absolutely amazing. So we hope that eventually that's

something that the sport can be geared towards and it gives the

juniors for the future. You Aldama have doubles come -- you all have

doubles coming up? Yes. Yeah. There can't be that much room on a court

for four of you? They widen it a bit and make the courts bigger. There's

traffic problems sometimes with two. Four can be interesting. The video

review is handy. Your coach said you had to play caveman squash, describe

that. I think you beat your chest and wave a stick and pretty much

what I did today. You did it well. Congratulations to Aldama of you. --

to all of you. Back to Gabby. Thank you very much, Gary. That was

interesting hearing the whole progress of squash and where it can

go. I think everybody here has enjoyed it so much, they would love

to see it grace the Olympic stage. To fill you in, earlier on I made a

poor joke about Sultana who won the women's hammer earlier on and then I

said something about raisins and about currants. We have had a five

minute in-depth chat. Michael didn't know what a sultana was. We love

bridging the cultural divide if nothing It's been else. An

education, thank you so much. Denise and I describing what

education, thank you so much. Denise and -- sultana is,

education, thank you so much. Denise vocabulary. It took five minutes,

because you did a poor job! vocabulary. It took five minutes,

on, we were at Tollcross and we were at the women's 400m semifinal. No

Christine Christine Ohuruogu racing in the individual evenge. Her great

rival was involved. First of three semifinals in the

women's 400m. Kelly Massey is out there. Mupopo is

there. The Sri Lankan was impressive as well. Already looking strong out

there is Omotosho, in lane six. Alongside that of Kelly Massey at

the moment. She will have to dig deep to make her

the moment. She will have to dig two. Go through

the moment. She will have to dig the two fastest losers.

the moment. She will have to dig comes home into the lead, impressive

lead as well. Does Mupopo have something left? Massey trying to

make it through. She's going to get. There coming strong, will she get

there, won by McPherson. Massey makes it to the final, just.

Stephanie Ann McPherson a long way clear of the rest. Stephanie Massey

will be in the final tomorrow night. Top two go through. Christine Day

has been in fine form. Miller is the former junior champion. Heavily

strapped Seany miller. Cox really has to try to attack and

find the best run of her season to go through. Also going well Abugan

of Nigeria. Through the first 200m in the green, Milleing up on in lane

three in. Front, Christine Day who is having an excellent season. The

Jamaican champion and running into top form at the right time. Aldama

arms and legs here. Miller coming through serenely as she does. Day

will win. Miller hangs on for second place. And the rest will have to

wait and see if the fastest loser spot is available.

Cox in about fifth place there. Very good win for Day.

Cox has missed out, Massey is through. What can Adeoye do?

Just outside Margaret Adeoye in lane four for George. Montsho in lane

five and Williams-Mills in six may be the athletes to catch here. Two

go through only automatically, plus the two fastest losers of the three

semifinals. Williams-Mills setting the pace with Montsho just inside.

They're separating themselves from the rest. George trying to stay with

them. Adeoye trying to keep pace with George. It's Williams-Mills and

Montsho who come into the home straight near enough neck and neck.

These two are a class apart in this race at the at he -- at the moment.

It's a race against the clock and for these two, against each other.

Williams-Mills looking very strong indeed. She comes through to take

it. Williams-Mills and Montsho first and second. Adeoye coming through

there in the end, but not sure the times will be quick enough from this

heat. The first two were a long way clear.

A class act in this field was certainly dominant. We can see

coming around this final turn, as they hit the 150-mark, Aldama eyes

-- all eyes see whether Montsho would come through to take the

victory over Williams-Mills. But Williams-Mills says no. I want that.

Good lane in the final, I will run quick and take this semifinal. Good

competitive race. Margaret sneaks in for the third place. But I don't

think it will be quick enough for her to get through. She may have

done a season's best, which will be wonderful, if that's been achieved.

Kelly Massey made it through and a fantastic run, a gutsy end to her

race. She ran brilliantly. It's not easy running from the lane she was

in. She did not panic at Aldama, that top bend, when the Nigerian

came on her shoulder, I just thought, oh, this is the crucial

point of the race, don't alter your form. Don't alter what you're

thinking and you saw it paid dividends. Super, new personal best.

The shoes of Ohuruogu are big ones to fill in women's 400m running.

She's having an off season, a slower season. She's taking it easy. She's

not completely out of it. She's going to be here in the relays and

you said yesterday, completely understand that and get that. It's

important when an athlete is getting to the end of their career to pace

themselves to make another cycle. Absolutely. Just getting back to

Kelly Massey, she's peaking at the right time, having the best

performance, having a season's best, when it counts, ala Christine

Ohuruogu. We talked about the other day the influence that Christine

would have on this team. She's having an influence on people like

Kelly Massey. That performance will have given her a lot of confidence

going into the final. Obviously, she likes a protagonist, does Montsho.

She's chosen Williams-Mills for this. I think, yeah, I'd have to go

with that. Montsho just isn't in the shape that she was in last year. I

think that, I mean Williams-Mills looks so strong. She looks very

relaxed. She looks a lot more relaxed. At this point, Montsho

doesn't look like she has the speed she can display. She's not starting

as quickly. Thanks for the moment guys. We are about 20 minutes away

from the first of those 100m finals. 9. 35pm the women's final. Back here

with the build up to that. Now back to Tollcross..

teams. There it was Rose and an occurrence and here it is why do men

beat their test -- chest? -- raisins and currents. It is to wake

themselves up. Maybe like primates, to show off to their competitors.

Cameron Van Der Burgh does the best. It is like a prerace ritual. The

women don't do it! And here they come for the 100 metres freestyle

final. Thank you, Clare Balding. We join
