Let's start with athletics, though, which got off to a great start | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
yesterday, with huge crowds at Hampden Park, inspiring the athletes | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
That was certainly the case late in the evening, | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
when both the women's and men's 100m finals produced some stunning runs. | :04:16. | :04:31. | |
COMMENTATOR: Hampden Park falls silent. The 100m final. | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
Away first time, Campbell-Brown. A good start by blessing Blessing | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
Okagbare. Here comes the tall Nigerian, storming to the line and a | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
gold medal. Campbell-Brown is second. What a run! | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
A new season's best. My work has been based on the Commonwealth | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
Games, I am just happy. The men's 100m final. | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
Jeb Nikos away. And here he comes. Miguel Angel Jiminez has gone by Tim | :05:20. | :05:34. | |
-- Adam Gemili. The gold goes to Jamaica once more. Ten sat the | :05:35. | :05:35. | |
winning time. Congratulations to both of you, what | :05:36. | :05:55. | |
does it mean to you? It is my first visual medal in a Championships. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
A big breakthrough for you are big things are predicted a view, this is | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
just the start. Just the start of the individual | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
medal. Congratulations, you have done | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
Jamaica proud. Let us bring in Adam. I can see the | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
reaction, when that result came up on the board, describe it for me. | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
My first senior medal. Oh, I speak less -- speechless. There was so | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
much preparation which goes into running ten seconds. I have a great | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
team behind me. They know who they are watching. I can't believe it. My | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
first time representing England. I am so happy. That perception you got | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
at the start must have given you goose bumps before the race. And to | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
clinch a medal. It was unbelievable. -- that | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
reception. Something I will never forget my | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
life. The reception was brilliant. It is not about time but position, | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
and I have done it, I am over the moon. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
As you say, it is a medal that counts, it is what you can build | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
on. Exactly. The times will come, hopefully, a decent time, with the | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
guys looking after me. Medals are what count. This is a stepping stone | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
for the World Championships, the Europeans in a couple of weeks, and | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
eventually we are. Thank you, I have got so many messages, thanked you | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
for all of the support, I can't thank you enough. | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
The first medals were won in the para discus. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
The first ones were won in the men's para discus by these two | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
gentlemen, Dan Greaves who won gold, and Aled Davies who got the silver. | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
the men's para discus by these two And eventful day. At that moment in | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
there, when you through the discus, did you know how well you have done? | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
Yes, I first two did not go to plan but my third, I got hold of and you | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
can always tell from your fingers, there is a tingling sensation when | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
it rips through your fingers. I knew I had sent it, and I had fight to | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
stay in the circle. Pretty much the same feeling I get in training all | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
the time. Let us show it to everyone again. | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
The minute it left your hand, you had a good feeling? | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
I was struggling to pull through my shoulder blades and get the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
elevation right in the first two. On that one, yes, the elevation comes | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
up. And I managed to keep it flat and it took off. Unfortunately, it | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
bounced just in front of the 16th line. I couldn't really tell. | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
Normally they have markers. -- 60. And lead, North Road came a little | :09:02. | :09:18. | |
bit later on, how was it for you to watch him? -- Aled. | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
What did you think when you saw him put in a throwback that one? He is | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
an incredible athlete, at the best of his career. He can go 63 metres. | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
So I knew it would take something special to beat him. All I thought I | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
would have to do is to go in there and deliver my best performance | :09:47. | :09:47. | |
possible. It didn't quite go to plan, if you | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
things I could have improved on. It was a very emotional day. Still good | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
enough for the silver medal. A fantastic achievement at the | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Commonwealth Games. Definitely. Looking back now, my first | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Commonwealth Games. I still have a lot of learning to do. Hopefully, my | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
career will as successful. You have many more Games ahead of | :10:16. | :10:28. | |
you, I am sure. I -- my first senior international | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
was 2011. And I took a medal in my first Games, so I hope I can follow | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
in his footsteps and keep para-sport going in the discus. | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
Your first Paralympics was in Sydney 2000. | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
Not even I can remember that far back! I had my 18th birthday on the | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
aeroplane on the way to Sydney. They took me on a whim really for | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
experience and I came up with a silver medal. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
You have won a medal every single Paralympics since? Yes, every | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
Paralympics, wild Championships, Europeans, for the last 14 years, I | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
thank my lucky stars. It is down to my team, my coach, my parents. We | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
have a great system and it works. We will keep going on until 2017 which | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
is when I will be hanging up my shoes. | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
So you're not done. Speaking of support, Hampden Park | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
looked fantastic last night. What was it like to be competing, but | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
that crowd around you? Incredible. 80,000 in London, but | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
the noise from those 40,000 fans yesterday, it makes me tingle right | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
the noise from those 40,000 fans now. That is what elevates you to a | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
great performance. now. That is what elevates you to a | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
unbelievable, I want to thank them for making it special. The Hampden | :12:04. | :12:12. | |
Park raw. Yes, we felt like we were Scottish! They got behind everyone | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
What is it like for you to compete -- roar. | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
What is it like for you to compete in an integrated event? It is | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
striking for viewers certainly, one of the striking thing Tour about the | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
Commonwealth Games. It is really good -- | :12:38. | :12:50. | |
things. We are in separate classes. So it is | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
great to give everyone this opportunity. The Nigerian | :12:57. | :12:57. | |
great to give everyone this came third was phenomenal. | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
great to give everyone this one leg. He put his cracked down, | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
great to give everyone this and he threw 38 metres. He got a | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
standing ovation, the biggest cheer of the day. Such an inspiration. | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
That is what we have in Paralympics. To be integrated, we | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
are all athletes fighting for medals. You get some inspiration | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
like that. I had lots of people, to medals. You get some inspiration | :13:23. | :13:23. | |
me, thanking me. Hopefully they will medals. You get some inspiration | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
go home well into sport. What happens next for you? You have | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
a solve a medal this time, you got a gold medal at London 2012. Your next | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
chappie ships is not far away. We both have the European | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
Championships ten days away. Then, of course, we have our own events in | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
Rio. We both want to keep dominating of course, we have our own events in | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
the world of throwing as much as we can. And keep pushing the barriers. | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
I have no doubt you will carry on, having seen you in action in | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
Glasgow. Good luck for the future. Thanks you for coming in this | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
morning. Greg Rutherford will be in action | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
today. We saw him become Olympic champion in London. Since then, he | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
has struggled with injury, but is hoping his form will have returned | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
at the right time. Ultimately, no matter what happens, | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
nothing will come close to super Saturday. Everything went right. I | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
experienced the greatest moment of my life. Jess had just gone out and | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
won. I remember thinking, this is absolutely incredible. I had this | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
feeling of wanting a little bit of that reaction the crowd gave. I was | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
sitting in a good position, my second round attempt had put me into | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
first place. Ultimately, as soon as I started running down the runway, | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
muscle memory takes over, everything felt good. I felt that lift from | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
what I had just seen, and the crowd going mad. As soon as I hit and took | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
off, I knew it was pretty good. It just happened, the third best | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
jump of my career. One that would take the on to become Olympic | :15:35. | :15:35. | |
champion. An amazing moment. I knew they were in the stadium, but | :15:36. | :15:51. | |
I didn't know where. That was my first reaction, I just wanted to see | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
them, then finally I heard them. Obviously just jumped in and gave | :15:57. | :16:12. | |
them a bigger. -- a big hug. You have to deal with the scrutiny from | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
the media, especially when you have done well, everyone expects you to | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
do it every time, and there is only Usain Bolt - apart from that, not | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
many get it right every single time. When it goes slightly wrong, you get | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
a bit more stick, and that is something you have to deal with and | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
understand, and also your private life and everything else is | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
scrutinised as well. So these are things that I don't think you can | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
prepare for. Ultimately, if I hadn't gone to the World Championships in | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
2013, I would have been wondering, what if? The story of my life in | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
injuries, it strikes at precisely the wrong time, and everyone around | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
you is expecting from you, they expect you to do well. With two out | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
of three hamstrings working, it doesn't actually happen! After the | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
injury last year and seeing how my body reacted in the World | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
Championships, I wasn't sure whether or not I'd be able to get back to | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
the level that I had been previously. You had a really good | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
winter season, and then to go and set a British record, you must be | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
pretty chuffed with that. Absolutely, yeah, over the moon. I | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
went really well at a competition indoors, I was chuffed to bits with | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
it. I only finished third, but I beat the people I needed to beat. I | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
jumped a PB indoors, and I thought, there is probably more, but I just | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
need to get away and get some training done. It is a great way to | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
start the season, exactly how my season started in 2012, and that | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
went on to be a pretty good year. Are significant to you the | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Commonwealth Games? It is the biggest focus of 2014, it is what | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
the focus has been since I came back from the injury in 2013, purely | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
going out in Glasgow and becoming Commonwealth champion. Everything I | :18:05. | :18:05. | |
am doing is geared towards winning. Well, if these Games have inspired | :18:06. | :18:20. | |
you, you can get all the details you need about getting involved in local | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
athletics clubs or any of the 17 sports at the Games, by going to the | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
BBC website. Well, speaking of inspiring and | :18:27. | :18:43. | |
performances, one of them at the Games came courtesy of Libby Clegg, | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
who got one of the loudest roars of the Games last night in the final of | :18:47. | :18:56. | |
the T11/12 100m, and she is here, having won that gold medal | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
yesterday. It has not really hit me yet, it has not signed in. As the | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
day goes on, I think it will settle. But no, absolutely incredible. Not | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
only did you win, but he did it in such style, and incredible race to | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
watch. You and your guide runner just shot out of the blocks, and he | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
won by an incredible margin. I know, well, we sort of had a race plan, | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
and we executed it perfectly. The bus of that was obviously winning a | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
gold medal and running a season's best. We are seeing you here now, | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
you are powering ahead, the distance between you and your competitors is | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
incredible, did you sort of gauge how far edge you work? Did you have | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
any idea? I didn't know how far ahead we were. I knew we were in the | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
lead at about 60, but I wasn't sure, it ended up all glory into one | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
moment. -- all blurring. How can you tell you are in the lead? Because | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
your vision is very severely impaired, you are registered blind. | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
It is kind of a feeling, but also the way they crowd were roaring and | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
cheering, I could tell I was in the lead as well. Usually you can feel | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
your competitors around you, and I couldn't feel anyone. There was just | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
air all around you, no competitors any near you! No, so the crowd were | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
incredible, really uplifting. It felt like they were carrying you | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
down the track. Fantastic to watch. What is the relationship with your | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
guide? You obviously train together, and when you start | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
training with someone who is your guide, how long does it take before | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
you think, this is the one? I have been running with him for four | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
years, previous to that I was running with his stepdad. We went to | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
the World Championships together, then Lincoln thought it was time to | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
hand over the reins. So he said, I know someone who? Yes, he had a go, | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
we collect and it worked, we have been together ever since. And there | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
is a strap around your wrist, you are running elbow to elbow. It is | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
actually a weightlifting strap that we wrap around our hands to keep us | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
together, and it seems to work for us. We were trying to think of | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
something that wouldn't... Well, the new rules said you couldn't have an | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
elasticated rope, and you have to make your own. We thought, a | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
weightlifting strap, it has just worked. It worked in fantastic style | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
last night. A brilliant win for you, and then afterwards you really felt | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
the love of the crowd, didn't you? We sort you go right around, do a | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
full lap of Hampden Park. That took our long? I think it's talk about 45 | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
minutes! We were getting so much support from everyone in the crowd, | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
we wanted to say hello to everyone. I don't know, everyone was giving us | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
high fives, wanting photographs. What does that mean to you? So much | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
of the time you are training in pretty solitary circumstances, and | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
then you get out there at a home Games, you have that kind of result | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
and reaction. Yeah, no, it was so nice to get that reaction. | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
Overwhelming, we never have had so much attention before, but it was | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
incredible, meeting everyone, people saying how proud they were of ours. | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
There was so much support, it was fantastic. Have you slept much? I | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
think I have had about five hours' sleep, but I will survive! You have | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
the golden glow around you for sure! What's next? You have competed in | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
London and here, what does the future hold? The Europeans in a | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
couple of weeks in Swansea, then the World Championships, and then Rio in | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
2016. I have a busy couple of years ahead of me! A packed schedule, good | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
luck with it, so many people will now be following your progress | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
having seen what you can do. Very best of luck. Libby Clegg, thank | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
you. If you are heading out this morning, | :23:27. | :23:30. | |

BBC. Prince Harry, a man who has made it | :24:05. | :25:20. | |
clear that he does not appreciate a selfie, but that did not stop Anna | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
Flanagan, who just nipped around to one side and took it when he was not | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
really looking instead. Dating use of different camera angles, Rachael | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
Lynch is starring in a photo that makes it look like you may have just | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
popped the question! -- making. I think that is quite a lot of spin to | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
put on that photograph, but we will let her have her moment! Australia | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
have won all four of their games so far, a combined total score of 25-0. | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
She might not be smiling so much in the background of the next photo! | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
Commonwelfies, that is our version. Yes, featuring many of the | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
representatives of different sports, starting with squash player Nick | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
Matthew, showing off his gold medal and James Willstrop, his team-mate | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
and great rival who he beat to win the title yesterday. That is English | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
world champion Laura Massaro with her silver medal on the right. Over | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
to Edinburgh, Tom Daley, the diving is over in Edinburgh - he has been | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
exploring with his team-mates around the Edinburgh scenery before he gets | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
into action, diving begins tomorrow. And Scottish netball player Bethany | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
Sutherland grabbed a photo with Usain Bolt, she will be action | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
tonight against Malawi, and I will be there because it features heavily | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
in my quest. Day six, how far have you got? 37 out of 71, shooting | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
yesterday, tried to prioritise quality over quantity, Norfolk | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
Island, Canada, very happy, but I need to press on today. I will start | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
at the athletics, and hopefully I was picked to Carl Morgan and Carlos | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Morgan, identical twins from the Cayman Islands. Presumably you don't | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
mind which one you get! I am hoping they will clarify and be honest | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
about it. Carlos could be Carl, Carl could be Carlos. At the boxing, we | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
have fighters from Dominica and Guyana. Malawi are playing Scotland | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
this evening. A fair amount of strategy you need to employ, because | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
you could go to one event and hoover up quite a few nations, but then you | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
might be losing others somewhere else. Yeah, and it would be easy to | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
stand any athletes college with a big net and tried to... -- the | :27:55. | :28:02. | |
Athletes' Village. The aim is to find interesting stories at the same | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
time, not just any 701I can lay my hands on, the right 71. Thank you | :28:08. | :28:18. | |
very much, good luck. As usual, there will be an update on Today At | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
The Games later. We are taking you to the netball in | :28:24. | :28:39. | |
a moment, but first a sense of what is available to watch on BBC Three, | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
the group match between England and New Zealand. Both teams are unbeaten | :28:45. | :28:46. | |
going into this match and keen for the win, the hot favourites | :28:47. | :28:53. | |
Australia, they await in the semifinal. It is still 0-0 at the | :28:54. | :29:00. | |
moment. Elsewhere, on the BBC Sport website, badminton from the Emirates | :29:01. | :29:02. | |
Arena, and lawn bowls from Kelvingrove, the men's singles, with | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
Robert Weale taking on Sam Tolchard. Here on BBC One for the next 30 | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
minutes also, we are Here on BBC One for the next 30 | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
minutes taking you to the netball, just across the water at the SECC. | :29:17. | :29:26. | |
This is a key match for England's women, hoping to bounce back from | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
the defeat against Australia. Before we see them in action, here is your | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
guide to the game. Netball requires determination in | :29:36. | :29:42. | |
defence, agility in attack, and skilful shooting. Each team | :29:43. | :29:49. | |
comprises seven players playing in a rectangular court with raised | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
goalposts at either end. Each player has a specific position on the team | :29:55. | :30:00. | |
with a baby indicating their role. The position indicates there is | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
movement is limited, and if a player and quotas beyond their designated | :30:06. | :30:10. | |
area, a free pass is awarded to the other team. -- encroaches. Defenders | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
have to stand three feet away from the player with the ball and can | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
only win it back once it has been released. A player with the ball may | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
take no more than one step before passing it, and they must pass or | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
shoot for goal within three seconds of taking possession. Only the goal | :30:27. | :30:29. | |
shooter and goal attack positions may attempt to take shots from | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
inside the shooting circle. Similarly, only the goal defence and | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
goalkeeper may enter the circle in a bid to thwart the attacking side. | :30:39. | :30:46. | |
Let's get over to the SECC, England needing to win their final two games | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
to guarantee qualification for the semifinals. | :30:51. | :31:11. | |
McCollin. Goal attack. Rhonda Davis. Tricia | :31:12. | :31:28. | |
Liverpool. We'll defence Onella Jack. | :31:29. | :31:42. | |
And goal difference Kemba Duncan. And the coach, Wesley Gomez. And | :31:43. | :31:56. | |
please welcome your umpire. Delivering the match ball is our | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
competition winner from Falkirk! Trinidad and Tobago get as under | :32:00. | :32:13. | |
way, attacking the post to our left hand side, playing in the black | :32:14. | :32:21. | |
strip. An important first phase of possession for Trinidad and Tobago. | :32:22. | :32:28. | |
The Collin gets the chance to open proceedings but cannot find the | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
target. Anita is our resident netball | :32:34. | :32:47. | |
expert. England also struggling to find the opening goal. | :32:48. | :32:55. | |
Corbin sensing she needs to work closer. It is a fast start by | :32:56. | :33:01. | |
England. England starting with Harten, in the | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
shooting circle, as they have done throughout this tournament. | :33:09. | :33:15. | |
Jade Clarke has moved up to wing attack. She hasn't started there | :33:16. | :33:22. | |
before. Sara Bayman in Centre Court starting | :33:23. | :33:27. | |
for the first time. Trinidad and Tobago have the Collin | :33:28. | :33:50. | |
and Cooper in attack. McCollin having a second shot and a second | :33:51. | :33:57. | |
miss. She needs to get her confidence going. | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
Struggling with the height of Geva Mentor. Some strong communication. | :34:02. | :34:09. | |
Struggling with the height of Geva contact call. Giving Daystar | :34:10. | :34:13. | |
possession. Mentor has had a good tournament for | :34:14. | :34:20. | |
England. Joanne Harten ringing that under control. | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
Good pressure by England in the mid-court. Positioned in front of | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
the Trinidad and Tobago players. Daystar Swift gets herself into the | :34:29. | :34:36. | |
mix in the shooting circle. Corbin was unlucky, trying to keep | :34:37. | :34:41. | |
that alive. Trinidad and Tobago on the bench. | :34:42. | :34:52. | |
Contact called against Beckford-Chambers. Oh, lovely work | :34:53. | :34:58. | |
Contact called against from Sara Bayman. In the starting | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
line-up for the first time. Rubber-stamping that start. | :35:05. | :35:12. | |
It is good but so far by Sara Bayman, she read the ball well for | :35:13. | :35:23. | |
the intercept. Top of the circle. Clarke availability good for the | :35:24. | :35:35. | |
pass. -- Clarke's. Corbin opens her account. | :35:36. | :35:47. | |
Joelisa Cooper just trying to work this ball. They need to work on | :35:48. | :35:55. | |
pulling some width through to goal. That is a penalty corner. Penalty | :35:56. | :36:03. | |
over in that far side. Joelisa Cooper. Wasn't expecting | :36:04. | :36:10. | |
that pass. Liverpool was there. And running out of time. | :36:11. | :36:17. | |
Great pressure. Beckford-Chambers winning her 50th cap for England, | :36:18. | :36:26. | |
congratulations to her. Just finding Joanne Harten. A good | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
move forward from Kadeen Corbin. They need some consistency in the | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
shooting. Quality movement but they need to convert the goal. | :36:38. | :36:50. | |
Good defence by England, Sara Bayman, lots of pressure going on | :36:51. | :36:58. | |
through the court. Corbin, finding the target. Inside | :36:59. | :37:08. | |
the opening five minutes. It could have gone in earlier from Corbin, | :37:09. | :37:16. | |
through to Harten. A strong front body position against Daystar Swift. | :37:17. | :37:27. | |
Oh! And Swift and jack, Duncan, sorry, trying to keep the ball | :37:28. | :37:29. | |
alive, and they both collide. Quite a fuse stray passes in the | :37:30. | :37:45. | |
game at the moment. -- few. | :37:46. | :37:52. | |
England have lost the structure. They need to set the triangle around | :37:53. | :37:58. | |
the shooting circle. Great play by Beckford-Chambers. It is difficult | :37:59. | :38:01. | |
for Trinidad and Tobago in that mid-court area. | :38:02. | :38:07. | |
Nice exchange of passes between Damen and Corbin. | :38:08. | :38:14. | |
England now lead. Trinidad yet to find the target. | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
Just pushing up, England. Trying to force the diagonal ball. | :38:18. | :38:33. | |
Sara Bayman, clever play by her. That was a good pass to split the | :38:34. | :38:41. | |
England defence. Joelisa Cooper opens up the Trinidad and Tobago | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
account. Some good vision from Rhonda | :38:44. | :38:51. | |
John-Davis. That was a brilliant take. | :38:52. | :38:57. | |
That is more like it for England. With Kadeen Corbin, a goal line run. | :38:58. | :39:05. | |
They last met in a tri- Nations tournament in South Africa in | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
October last year. England beat the dad and Tobago 56-24 on that | :39:11. | :39:22. | |
occasion. I imagine it will be something | :39:23. | :39:28. | |
similar here today. Certainly, with England leading | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
inside the first seven and a half minutes. | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
They have got the perfect start. Tricia Liverpool, putting pressure | :39:39. | :39:48. | |
along the circle edge. That was unlucky for Jade Clarke. | :39:49. | :40:04. | |
Cooper, John-Davis, high in the court area, this is where Trinidad | :40:05. | :40:12. | |
and Tobago need to make the path to the circle edge. | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
There was no way through for Rhonda John-Davis. | :40:17. | :40:30. | |
A footwork call against Joanne Harten. | :40:31. | :40:40. | |
A quick recover from John-Davis, finds herself down in court. You | :40:41. | :40:49. | |
mentioned the structure for England. They have to try to impose their | :40:50. | :40:55. | |
game onto this match, don't they, England? As do Trinidad. Either | :40:56. | :41:01. | |
side, neither side finding their own game. It is crucial for England, | :41:02. | :41:07. | |
particularly that they set the structure around the circle edge. | :41:08. | :41:12. | |
And perhaps start to see some relationship with Corbin and Harten, | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
some screens, just mixing up the play. McCollin, putting the goal in. | :41:17. | :41:24. | |
She is trying to do a lot out there. | :41:25. | :41:35. | |
England have had four interception is already in this game. | :41:36. | :41:43. | |
-- interceptions. McCollin working the ground. | :41:44. | :41:55. | |
Good work from Beckford-Chambers. A real height difference in that | :41:56. | :42:01. | |
shooting circle. England, much taller. | :42:02. | :42:09. | |
That was lovely work. That was pretty close to offside. | :42:10. | :42:45. | |
It has gone against the goalkeeper, Daystar Swift. | :42:46. | :42:51. | |
Another goal from Corbin. Fans watching on. New Zealand are up | :42:52. | :42:58. | |
against St Lucia in the next game. They will be taking in the first | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
half of the first game on day seven. Then into the pre-match warm up | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
routine and chat. If England and Australia win their | :43:09. | :43:25. | |
opening games, then New Zealand will be playing England in the semifinal. | :43:26. | :43:32. | |
I am sure New Zealand will be interested to see this combination | :43:33. | :43:38. | |
of Clarke and Bayman. Daystar Swift is quick. | :43:39. | :43:45. | |
Tricia Liverpool, too much forward Kadeen Corbin, not fazed there. Some | :43:46. | :44:04. | |
good pressure by England. You can see three over on the line. Sara | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
Bayman is picking up a lot of possession, a lot of deflections. | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
Bayman is picking up a lot of good start to the game by Sara | :44:14. | :44:21. | |
Bayman. That is a good ball through from Guthrie. | :44:22. | :44:29. | |
Bayman. That is a good ball through causing havoc | :44:30. | :44:29. | |
Good work from Bayman. circle. | :44:30. | :44:42. | |
Good work from Bayman. England are getting to the passes. | :44:43. | :44:49. | |
They have a good front position. It gives them a little time, you can | :44:50. | :44:56. | |
see again, real denial by Guthrie. Not letting any player get to the | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
circle edge. It has gone | :45:01. | :45:13. | |
players, we saw the Trinidad and Tobago bench, | :45:14. | :45:46. | |
McCullen, good links by the Trinidad and Tobago shooters. -- good by. | :45:47. | :46:00. | |
We have from Bayman, from the | :46:01. | :46:05. | |
We have difference to the previous against | :46:06. | :46:09. | |
South Africa. A tough first quarter against South | :46:10. | :46:23. | |
Africa, they trailed at quarter time 8-9 in that one. No such | :46:24. | :46:29. | |
difficulties here today. Chambers almost | :46:30. | :46:29. | |
difficulties here today. Chambers perfection, just pulled up by the | :46:30. | :46:40. | |
South African umpire. Good screen on the line by Clarke allowing Corbin | :46:41. | :46:52. | |
to come through. Just a little bit flat in the shooting circle, Harten | :46:53. | :46:57. | |
realised that, moved out through the top. Inside the final ten seconds, | :46:58. | :47:04. | |
England's lead by ten, a good start to this match by them. Trinidad and | :47:05. | :47:10. | |
Tobago, can they find the last goal? No, they can't, England have | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
one goal a minute for their efforts in the first quarter, which they | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
lead by ten over Trinidad and Tobago. | :47:20. | :47:30. | |
So a good start for England, but for Trinidad and Tobago, their first | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
goal coming with eight and a half minutes remaining in the first | :47:36. | :47:38. | |
quarter. Still in the 70s, the shooting | :47:39. | :47:48. | |
percentages, and that is something that needs to be worked on. Shot | :47:49. | :47:54. | |
attempts, what a difference, 19-7. And there we start to see the impact | :47:55. | :47:59. | |
of ball into the circle, the goal assists for England far greater, | :48:00. | :48:02. | |
breaking down for Trinidad and Tobago in the mid-court. | :48:03. | :48:10. | |
Trinidad and Tobago did struggle to start with, it took them six and a | :48:11. | :48:17. | |
half minutes to get their first shot. Good interception by Bayman. | :48:18. | :48:23. | |
It is often the first line of defence for England that is coming | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
out with possession. When the triangle is set around the circle, | :48:28. | :48:32. | |
it works, and there we see Beckford-Chambers, good tracking, | :48:33. | :48:38. | |
goody... Goodbody position on the goal attack. Joelisa Cooper keeps | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
fighting strong for Trinidad and Tobago, working well with McCollin. | :48:44. | :48:50. | |
That's straight ball is the one England's needs to do more of. | :48:51. | :48:59. | |
Continued the defence, make sure when we are dropping off, we step | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
back. So some changes to tell you about | :49:05. | :49:39. | |
for Trinidad and Tobago, Rhonda John-Davis goes from wing attack to | :49:40. | :49:48. | |
centre. And La Roche-Brice comes in to wing defence. So a little change, | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
a double shuffle in the mid-court for Wesley Gomez. Anika La | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
Roche-Brice, the captain, has a chance to have an influence on this | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
game. As for England, no changes for them. | :50:03. | :50:07. | |
So England get this second quarter under way, leading by ten, and | :50:08. | :50:19. | |
opting not to shuffle her pack for this second 15 minutes, or at least | :50:20. | :50:27. | |
the start of it. It is an 11-macro gold, unlucky for Kadeen Corbin. La | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
Roche-Brice, John-Davis. Guthrie gets the throw in for | :50:32. | :50:49. | |
England, some great defence from England, and then thrown away. | :50:50. | :50:56. | |
Mentor and Guthrie not on the same wavelength. | :50:57. | :51:10. | |
It is a struggle for them when they get to the circle edge, they feed | :51:11. | :51:17. | |
much better, the swing of the ball, but no lead to the front pocket. | :51:18. | :51:22. | |
With the swing needs to come the movement of the shooters, and the | :51:23. | :51:27. | |
idea was right, but credits to Trinidad and Tobago. They were | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
patient, they could not get the ball to circle edge, but they retained | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
possession with that shot gain. That is good. | :51:37. | :51:41. | |
Fast hands by Harten, sensing the movement of the goal attack for | :51:42. | :51:58. | |
England. Crucial that Trinidad and Tobago keep working the ground, | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
pulling their fence apart from England, who have set their page in | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
the centre of the court. They lead to the front pocket a | :52:05. | :52:17. | |
split too late, but they do feed it into the back, where Trinidad score | :52:18. | :52:28. | |
another goal. Cuppa finding the target. -- Cooper. Good reset in, | :52:29. | :52:38. | |
getting the ball back to the transfers line, Clarke going again. | :52:39. | :52:43. | |
Jack getting out well at the centre pass for Trinidad and Tobago. | :52:44. | :52:55. | |
Jack into John-Davis, this is McCollin. It has gone against La | :52:56. | :53:09. | |
Roche-Brice. That is allowing England still have another attack. | :53:10. | :53:12. | |
Well, that is not one from the training manual, but it works for | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
England on that occasion. Yes, Harten just needed Clarke in | :53:19. | :53:35. | |
the pocket, but she recovered well. Just timing a little bit for England | :53:36. | :53:41. | |
letting them down as they get into this final phase towards the | :53:42. | :53:48. | |
shooting circle. That is better work from Bayman through to Joe -- Jo | :53:49. | :53:55. | |
Harten. Daystar Swift is tracking well, a | :53:56. | :54:11. | |
difficult defender to get around, and probably just realising that | :54:12. | :54:17. | |
now, Jo Harten, potentially better if she stays back with one on one in | :54:18. | :54:25. | |
the circle. With the medal matches to come, the semifinal and then | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
either gold or bronze, it is going to be looking after the ball, isn't | :54:30. | :54:31. | |
it? It is, possession will be to be looking after the ball, isn't | :54:32. | :54:37. | |
crucial. Individual errors for any team who want to be in the | :54:38. | :54:40. | |
semifinals, they need to be eradicated from their | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
semifinals, they need to be sent out a | :54:45. | :54:56. | |
with a phenomenal display against Malawi. It was an incredible first | :54:57. | :55:07. | |
half, 25-10, 23-15, there were goals galore, Jamaica looked really | :55:08. | :55:13. | |
ominous. You can't really say that either New Zealand, Australia or | :55:14. | :55:16. | |
England have put down a performance like that yet in this tournament. | :55:17. | :55:23. | |
Jamaica, the first team to really show their hands. Unlucky, Sara | :55:24. | :55:26. | |
Bayman. Yes, definitely working the ball well, Jamaica, with lots of | :55:27. | :55:33. | |
options on the bench, lots of positional changes that they could | :55:34. | :55:39. | |
make. Tactically, Jamaica could play a very different game when it | :55:40. | :55:41. | |
make. Tactically, Jamaica could play to the semifinal stages, if they did | :55:42. | :55:48. | |
opt for two of their main aerial base shooters. Aged and played at | :55:49. | :55:59. | |
goalkeeper last night for Jamaica, incredibly effective. -- Aitken. | :56:00. | :56:05. | |
That is another option that Jamaica house. But that is in the future, | :56:06. | :56:11. | |
this is now, and Trinidad and Tobago just a little wayward on that shot. | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
this is now, and Trinidad and Tobago And England will go hunting for | :56:17. | :56:28. | |
12- goal lead. A handle on is in there from La Roche-Brice, and a | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
legal one, halting the flow of the attack. | :56:33. | :56:47. | |
Nowhere to go for Harten, back to the transfers line, feeds Bayman. -- | :56:48. | :57:07. | |
Nowhere to go for Harten, back to transverse. A shove in the shoulder | :57:08. | :57:13. | |
from Harten, and England get that 12 point lead back. It is interesting, | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
Jo Harten doing an awful lot of the play, Kadeen | :57:19. | :57:19. | |
Jo Harten doing an awful lot of the shots in this game. That is a better | :57:20. | :57:24. | |
finish from Jo Harten. Good pressure again by England, just | :57:25. | :57:36. | |
seeing how they try to force wide, tried to deny the movement. Pole, | :57:37. | :57:44. | |
Geva Mentor! -- oh. We have seen some fantastic athleticism from a | :57:45. | :57:48. | |
number of athletes at this tournament. Credits to the line of | :57:49. | :57:53. | |
defence in front of Geva Mentor there, they put the pressure on to | :57:54. | :57:55. | |
allow that movement through there, they put the pressure on to | :57:56. | :58:01. | |
that ball. Time out being called as we have another look at this piece | :58:02. | :58:07. | |
of work. Superb pick-up by Sara Bayman. Khalifa McCollin has called | :58:08. | :58:16. | |
the time out, looking for some attention, she is just having some | :58:17. | :58:21. | |
work done on that right ankle. Trinidad opening their account in | :58:22. | :58:37. | |
the second quarter are a lot earlier than they did in the first, but not | :58:38. | :58:41. | |
being able to score at regular intervals and get some sort of | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
momentum going. It is tough for them, and we mentioned Sara Bayman | :58:46. | :58:49. | |
starting for the first time, she has had a good game. Solid performance | :58:50. | :58:54. | |
so far from Sara Bayman, and she picks off an awful lot of | :58:55. | :58:57. | |
possession, she is the real threat for Trinidad and Tobago in the | :58:58. | :59:02. | |
mid-court as they tried to move the ball through the court. She is on | :59:03. | :59:07. | |
fire, Sara Bayman, a safe pair of hands in delivering through to goal. | :59:08. | :59:13. | |
The driving force for Manchester Thunder, who won the Super League in | :59:14. | :59:22. | |
Great Britain last season. And good to see her back, because she had a | :59:23. | :59:28. | |
knee injury she, a couple of seasons ago? If you are wondering what the | :59:29. | :59:32. | |
black things are on the back of their necks, it is a GPS that track | :59:33. | :59:37. | |
their movements throughout the match so the analysis can be done with a | :59:38. | :59:38. | |
fine tooth comb. Here is Jade Clarke to Bayman, and | :59:39. | :59:56. | |
there you go, having talked up, the commentator's curs, she cannot bring | :59:57. | :00:00. | |
that in! The swing of the ball to John-Davis. | :00:01. | :00:13. | |
Cooper scores. McCollin almost playing a centre | :00:14. | :00:41. | |
wing attack role. That challenge was almost a little | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
brush. -- rash. | :00:52. | :01:14. | |
That was rifled in there, too Corbin. The idea was right. | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
England are having a patch. Struggling to work it through. | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
A better start by Trinidad and Tobago. After the time-out. | :01:29. | :01:43. | |
McCollin knows exactly what she needs to do. That movement towards | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
the ball, opening up the space to get the ball through to Joelisa | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Cooper. A wonderful pass from John-Davis, | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
but not quite red in the attacking circle -- read. England haven't | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
added to their score, they can't afford to have a period in the game | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
of two or three minutes where you don't score goals. Because no | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
opposition can take the game away from you in that moment. Absolutely. | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
Credit to Trinidad and Tobago. They have worked the ball, played the | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
short game, getting to the circle edge. 7-5 to England in this | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
quarter. Oh, dear. Cooper coming up short on | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
the shot, and all the good work didn't bring any reward. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Clarke, three minutes since England scored a goal. | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
Good vision by Corbin. A fast release, two on one, Joanne Harten. | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Good vision by Corbin. A fast release, two on She clawed that ball | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
in. Isn't that her nickname in the | :03:12. | :03:29. | |
league, The Claw. A good pick up again by | :03:30. | :03:40. | |
Beckford-Chambers. She will be looking for more constituency, | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
Joanne, in this game. England, as you mentioned, eight | :03:43. | :03:53. | |
goals in this quarter so far. Really, a minimum of 12 in each | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
quarter. 18 goals is their target. So, that | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
is the understanding to compete with number one and number two in this | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
world. Firing at 50% right now. Equally | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
looking at the distribution between the number of shots between goal | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
attack, goal shooter, targets on the goal attacks. Sharing some of that | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
shooting. A bit of pressure by | :04:30. | :04:42. | |
Beckford-Chambers. A lot more pressure on Joelisa Cooper's | :04:43. | :04:42. | |
movement. I am not sure McCollin would have | :04:43. | :04:56. | |
been any closer on the return pass than she was with the initial | :04:57. | :04:57. | |
penalty. She feels a little than she was with the initial | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
side, it doesn't show as she puts it Good defence by Swift but well | :05:04. | :05:18. | |
played by Kadeen Corbin who steadies on the shot. For a 19-year-old, | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
McCollin does command the attack for Trinidad and Tobago. | :05:30. | :05:41. | |
Plenty of, worth games -- Commonwealth Games for her at 19 | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
years of age. A better, nation of passes. As we approach the final 60 | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
seconds, England lead 27-11. Guthrie rushed in. England get the | :05:52. | :06:10. | |
throw in. Harten. Comes up short on the shot. | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
England are up to 12 goals in this quarter. | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
A better performance Certainly forward options which they | :06:28. | :06:39. | |
were missing in the McCollin. Double jump by | :06:40. | :06:56. | |
Beckford-Chambers. McCollin will have another chance to ride to | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
Trinidad and Tobago's total. So, McCollin. She finishes the half with | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
a goal. And that is half-time here at the NSPCC. England are in charge | :07:10. | :07:19. | |
against Trinidad and Tobago. -- SECC. | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
We are going to leave the netball now. This match is available on the | :07:28. | :07:38. | |
Red Button. The men's hockey continues, both | :07:39. | :07:51. | |
sides their group. | :07:52. | :08:14. | |
Let us go straight over to hand in pork where they have been roaring | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
for track and field -- had over to Hampden Park. What a treat we had | :08:25. | :08:41. | |
last night. Let us look back to those 200m. In the women's race, the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
big story was blessing Blessing Okagbare. She was incredible. She | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
looked fantastic in the semifinals. 10.93. It was a question, could she | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
raise her game for the final. Against Veronica Campbell-Brown, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
multiple Olympic medallist. She was so good out of the blocks. | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
Powerful and strong running. You thought Broad Oak might come back -- | :09:13. | :09:26. | |
Pharaonic. But Okagbare, you could see how much that meant to her. | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
She was incredibly relaxed, given the history. You are right, thinking | :09:34. | :09:46. | |
about her history. Do we learn from mistakes? This is crucial. She made | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
a couple of mistakes at the World Championships and took herself at | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
medals. Now she has honed all of her skills and delivered at the | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
Commonwealth Games. In the men's 100m, it was a gold | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
medal for Jamaica, as you expected. And a new name. And a silver for | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
Adam Gemili. He ran his face perfectly well. Out of the blocks as | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
strong and as positively as he could. He got into his running well. | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
In contrast, I am laughing because the Jamaican didn't react. He was so | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
confident he could run the whole field down | :10:34. | :10:34. | |
the Jamaican didn't react. He was so confident he could run the which is | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
what he did. He ambled it? Was he hurt, he looked like he was | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
hobbling over the line? I think he went harder than he wanted to. To | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
claw back the gap he lost initially. He is a beautiful banner, so very | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
tall, about 1.95, almost as tall as you saying bolt -- a beautiful | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
runner. And Adam? | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
It is important to be in the mix. You have to raise your game, | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
especially against the Jamaicans. They have come here in force. Adam | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
knew what he needed to do. His first senior medal. He will be slightly | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
disappointed with the time but a great performance. What about this | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
morning? This is the timetable for a fantastic session of athletics, into | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
the early afternoon. Greg Rutherford in the men's long | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
jump qualifying, fingers crossed he is back to form and fitness. | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
The women's heptathlon gets under way. | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
The men's death cap launch continues, our first action on the | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
track -- decathlon. Andy Turner in the hurdles. | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
David Weir is in the T54 men's 1500m. | :12:07. | :12:07. | |
David Rudisha next. Where do you start for a highlight? | :12:08. | :12:23. | |
Probably the strongest morning session we have got today and later | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
this evening. A great day of athletics. The crowd want to see | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
more Scottish medals, Eilidh Child had to navigate this wonderful | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
hurdles race. A lot to look forward to. Greg Rutherford, if he is injury | :12:40. | :12:52. | |
free. And the quality event! Let us look back to yesterday evening and | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
the 400m, the final event. A great day for Damian Warner who started | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
off with an incredibly fast 100m, a personal best, and finished the day, | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
the way he started. A good first day for Ashley Bryant | :13:05. | :13:17. | |
of England and John Lane. At this point, after four events Damian | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Warner hanging on. John Lane coming through. Very quick that these | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
athletes. These were the standings at the end. | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
John Lane of England, a great first day. The question is can he hang on | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
for a medal in this second day? We expect Ashley Bryant to come | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
through. We have now to the commentary team | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
standing by, Andrew Cotter, good morning. | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
Good morning indeed and welcome to Hampden Park, a little bit cooler, | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
and the men's death cap launch. Look out for Damian Warner. A second | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
faster than the rest in this high hurdles. Ashley Bryant in contention | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
for a medal. Kurt Felix who ran in the first heat did not get close to | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
his personal best. So he will slip back in little bit. | :14:28. | :14:42. | |
Cleanly away. David Warner. Ashley Bryant clashing a couple of hurdles. | :14:43. | :14:53. | |
David Warner is a long way clear as we expected. What is the time? | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
13.51. And we look further down the field for the English athletes. | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
Inside his personal best. very clean across the hurdles | :15:03. | :15:19. | |
there. Conversely, England's Ashley Bryant it's just about | :15:20. | :15:20. | |
there. Conversely, England's Ashley He clattered every hurdle, the | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
Englishman highly fancied. Oh, my word! That is the last thing you | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
want, it hits your rhythm, it hurts your rhythm. On the other side of | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
the track, John Lane is having a whale of a time, fantastic PB first | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
day yesterday, three PBs, and a clean race from him to maybe take | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
second, possibly third. At a Diamond League meeting here a couple of | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
weeks ago, the hurdlers were talking about the warm up track having a | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
different feel to the actual track, and they were struggling with the | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
first hurdle. Ashley Bryant is not as confident as those men, trying to | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
find an excuse for him. Damian Warner has been rounded down a | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
couple of hundredths of a second. He flew in the 100m flat, 10.29, which | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
was extraordinary. Ashley Bryant hitting the first hurdle, clipping | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
the second, and from there your balance and rhythm is all over the | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
place. He is in medal contention at the moment, lying fourth as we | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
speak. He has a great javelin throw. John Lane, three personal bests | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
yesterday, in the back of the picture there, trying to get close | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
to his personal best. Not too far away, but that race was all about | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
Warner, and he is heading for gold. Men's long jump qualification, and | :16:44. | :16:57. | |
an anxious look on the face of England's Greg Rutherford, the | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
Olympic champion, starting his bid to add macro the Commonwealth title | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
to his list of achievements. 7.90 is automatic, anything beyond that, he | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
can go home and come back tomorrow for the final. No-one has gone | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
beyond that mark yet. Chris Tomlinson is just one centimetre | :17:21. | :17:21. | |
shy, out in front. That is big, that is beyond eight | :17:22. | :17:33. | |
metres! Does he get the white flags? It looks as though it is good, yes, | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
he does. And breathe! I don't know why, I always feel a little anxious, | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
he has had so much injury woes, qualification always a no bragging | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
time. The pressure on him, all eyes on him as Olympic champion. -- | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
always a nerve wracking time. Eight metres, safe on the board. | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
always a nerve wracking time. Eight very good jump, especially first | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
round qualification, shoes off. And we are just waiting for confirmation | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
of that, 8.05, we are just waiting for confirmation | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
the Hampden Park crowd here for the Englishman, big smile. Big smile! | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
There it is, 8.05, well done, Greg! Right, time to do some arithmetic. | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
Damian Warner winning that one, pretty much according to form. | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
13.52, 100th of a second inside his personal best, a Games best in the | :18:41. | :18:50. | |
decathlon. So we convert it all to points, and after six events, Damian | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
Warner is a long way clear, but John Lane helped by the fact that Kurt | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
Felix did not do well in the first heat of the hurdles. Ashley Bryant | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
has got a great javelin. The key thing is going to be the javelin. I | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
was talking to the great man Daley Thompson, and he said, don't look at | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
this event in terms of medals until after the pole vault, that is the | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
big event. Ashley Bryant is a fantastic javelin thrower, John Lane | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
not so much. The discus will come next, then the pole vault, then | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
javelin, then 1500 metres to finish. The other names there. | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
Martin Brockman down in 11th place. Some of those athletes have better | :19:35. | :19:35. | |
events to come. Now then, Chris Tomlinson. He | :19:36. | :19:52. | |
mentioned the first-round jump of 7.90 automatic qualification, and | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
good battle between the Englishman, Greg and Chris. And that's jump just | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
shy of the 7.90 automatic qualifying, but 7.89 is what that | :20:05. | :20:16. | |
was. He won't look happy! He has his leg heavily strapped there. That is | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
his take-off leg, and he will need to go into that final full of | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
health, because he will need to jump beyond eight metres to be in the mix | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
for medals. That will probably take him through to the final. | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
Time for Australia's Henry Frayne to have a go trying to qualify, world | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
indoor silver medallist in this event. The athletes choosing to | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
leave their longs on, their tights. A little fresh this morning, also a | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
bit of psychology in there, maybe wanting to show, I am not trying | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
that had, I don't need to take the bottoms off. -- hard. Around | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
automatic call for him, 8.10 already this season, he looks back on it in | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
terms of 7.90. It is always a tough decision if you don't quite get it, | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
the automatic qualification that is, because you might need to have | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
another jump just to make sure. But it is top 12 if you don't get the | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
automatic. 7.85 for Henry Frayne. Damar Forbes coming out of Jamaica. | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
He looks controlled on the runway, does Forbes, very quick, one of the | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
quickest of the long jumpers. Again, around that 8.0 metres mark. So it | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
looks as though there will be a group of athletes in contention for | :22:02. | :22:10. | |
that medal tomorrow evening, 8.0 metres plus. As we wait for his | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
mark, he looks pleased. So we are likely to have a couple of | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
Australians. South likely to have a couple of | :22:25. | :22:34. | |
strong in this event as well, with Visser leading the way. Taking a | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
while for the diseased and -- for the distances to come up. Bang on | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
the automatic. A great feeling to hits automatic | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
qualification with your first jump, pack your bags and go back to the | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
village, great relief for Greg Rutherford. If you think back to | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
Moscow, when he came in with fitness doubts, he did not qualify. No, and | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
he was a troubled man last year, but he seems to have shrugged that off. | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
Yes, he has had a few injury problems this year, but mentally he | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
seems to be on the right place, he has changed his training group a | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
couple of times, and it's just seems like a more complete man. And he's | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
proving that is jumping is back to his very best. We will all very | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
impressed with that first jump of his, 8.05, and technically sometimes | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
he over rotates, but well in control of that. Yes, you know that | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
qualification mornings can of that. Yes, you know that | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
difficult, but he looked really good on the runway, and his preparation | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
into that take-off, just really balanced, and that is what you want. | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
He has got great flat speed, great jumping ability, and when he | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
combines that well, without, as you said, that forward rotation that he | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
sometimes does, that is the result, a consistent 8.0 metres plus | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
jumper. The other slight bubble not of his own making was the 8.51 | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
British record, questions raised by Chris Tomlinson, was it legal? That | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
can't be very comfortable for either of them, to have that type of battle | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
in public. But I think what was impressive about Greg, he has said, | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
I don't do the measuring, I just do the jumping. What the was old is is | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
what the result is, it has been ratified, he is the British record | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
holder. I want to say that this is very good for jumping, this track. | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
If you go back to the Anniversary Games, a lot of good jumps took | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
place on the track. I remember saying, Greg will be furious that he | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
is not jumping on this particular surface. Yes, if you did not know, | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
this track is on stilts, a bit like the gates that are at Manchester | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
with a layer of concrete on top. I wonder if there is a slightly | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
different dynamic from a track laid on the ground. Completely, and I | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
have not been down, but it seems to be a surface that people are | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
responding to. I remember Katarina Johnson-Thompson jumping extremely | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
well, setting a new personal best, having to take a run-up back. So | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
yes... It might be just a tiny bit of bounce. This is why the hurdlers | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
are struggling, because it throws you, peaches you into the hurdle, | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
and if the warm up track is very different to the competition track, | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
they could run into trouble. Let's look back to Damian Warner over the | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
hurdles in the decathlon. A real is printer, he marries a really good, | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
stable technique, which the decathletes will find very difficult | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
to master, because they have to try and muster ten events, they have to | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
be good at all ten, so I think he's a natural runner and hurdler, and I | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
think he enjoys those events, and that is why we see great | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
performances from him. We talked about his PB in the 100m, same as | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
yours, 10.29, how does that translate to a hurdle time? Is that | :26:14. | :26:23. | |
a slow conversion? It could be better, no doubt, but he is not a | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
specialist hurdler, and you have to take that into consideration. You | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
can only spend a certain amount of time on his hurdling, so what we | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
have just seen as more than adequate in the capital on. You mentioned | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
Katarina Johnson-Thompson and long jump performance, women's heptathlon | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
coming up this morning, and she is not here, such a disappointment. I | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
am so gutted for though, she is in great shape, fantastic shape, but | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
you know, this happens sometimes. It is just really bad timing, and what | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
she will have to do going forward is look at why and how she managed to | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
pick up this injury. She is a wonderful jumper, we talk about that | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
speed and being able to convert at that speed that she generates on the | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
runway. Do you think are focused on the high jump and the long jump has | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
put extra strain on her? Personally, that is my opinion. It is not easy. | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
I fell into that category as well, maybe jumping too much, because you | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
are doing the jumping in training, and she has done a lot of long jump | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
and high jump competitions, together with the heptathlon. It puts a | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
strain on the joints. So she is going to have to go away and think, | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
maybe at the trials could I have done javelin instead or short, | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
working on the events I am not so good at? I don't know. And other | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
English athlete not here is organ like, who was doing the world Junior | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
Championships in America, what a performance she provided. -- Morgan | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
Lake. Stunning, Denise must be very proud that the heptathlete are doing | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
so well! We are talking globally, and talking about what we will do in | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
Rio, we mentioned that Jess may find it difficult to return instantly, | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
but what a catalogue of great heptathlete we have got. Talking | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
about Damian Warner there, generally great flat speed, and speed is the | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
key to a great have to learn and decathlon, and Morgan Lake, her | :28:25. | :28:31. | |
speed is not quite there, but she has got wonderful jumping ability. | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
Look at her form, languid, lovely, rangy jumper, and she is as good as, | :28:37. | :28:46. | |
you know, Carillion Kluft at this stage. -- Carolina. British junior | :28:47. | :28:54. | |
record. Just fantastic. Lot of good heptathlete here, trust me! Steve | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
Cram has been looking at the 110 metres hurdles in the heptathlon. | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
Talking about the strength in depth, a view of the bronze medallists from | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
eight years ago, Grace Clements of England. Three English women taking | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
England. Three part, a late replacement for Katarina | :29:16. | :29:17. | |
Johnson-Thompson was just happen, and Jessica Taylor will be going as | :29:18. | :29:25. | |
well. The outstanding favourite is Briannae Theisen Eaton. Grace | :29:26. | :29:26. | |
Clements will be hoping that Briannae Theisen Eaton. Grace | :29:27. | :29:36. | |
Delhi. A huge welcome as all of the home country athletes have received | :29:37. | :29:43. | |
during these Games. An interesting conversation about Morgan Lake and | :29:44. | :29:52. | |
KJT, I think it was the right decision of those around her to | :29:53. | :29:57. | |
centred to the World Juniors, rewarded with two fabulous titles. | :29:58. | :30:06. | |
So two heats of this, seeded according to hurdling ability in | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
terms of times obviously, so this is how the first one lines up. | :30:10. | :30:41. | |
Australia. Not such a good start but the Australian is starting to go | :30:42. | :30:47. | |
away. Pulling away. A good performance by Stanwell. That is | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
just outside her personal best. Into a slight headwind. It is chilly this | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
morning, as Andrew said. A swirling breeze. It had been with the men | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
earlier in the decathlon on. It just took the edge of the times. Grace | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
Clements, a good performance from her in second place. | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
For Grace Clements, having Sophie Stanwell of Australia next to almost | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
helped her in her pick-up to the first hurdle. Matching her stride | :31:19. | :31:25. | |
for stride out of the blocks. Watch this, the Australian to her left, | :31:26. | :31:30. | |
matching her and almost tries to go with her. She knows she is slightly | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
quicker on paper. Grace Clements with a season's best. Very close to | :31:36. | :31:43. | |
that. A clean run. A quicker time than she might have done, with the | :31:44. | :31:49. | |
help of an Aussie. It is going to be interesting. When | :31:50. | :31:55. | |
you look at Theisen-Eaton. There are one or two who are quite good. | :31:56. | :32:06. | |
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is also here. -- Theisen-Eaton. | :32:07. | :32:16. | |
Stanwell winning. 14.18. Grace Clements, a very good start for her. | :32:17. | :32:24. | |
As Steve was saying, her seasons best -- season's best. | :32:25. | :32:42. | |
In the men's decathlon, Damian Warner is the standout. | :32:43. | :33:03. | |
In the women's heptathlon, we have quality athletes. That head too hide | :33:04. | :33:15. | |
we have looked for was a mouthwatering prospect. In May when | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
they competed in the combined event, they were pushing each other | :33:21. | :33:27. | |
all the way. It is not going to be easy for Brianne. When you are on | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
your own, you have to stay focused. You might not be pushed. She will | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
have to raise her game to make sure she stays in that moment, when she | :33:36. | :33:41. | |
is waiting around for hours. Brianne, in Moscow, getting a silver | :33:42. | :33:46. | |
medal. There is no question of pressure, you would think, getting | :33:47. | :33:52. | |
to her. She is used to being in a major Championship situation. | :33:53. | :33:55. | |
She may look at the conditions and think, I am going to go for it. I | :33:56. | :34:01. | |
can take a little risk in some events and extend my performance. I | :34:02. | :34:05. | |
am hoping the conditions change to give them a fair chance. A strong | :34:06. | :34:10. | |
headwind, I am sure she would like to give herself a good total | :34:11. | :34:17. | |
overall. What is the Championship record? Was it you? | :34:18. | :34:29. | |
There will be one very interested spectator today. The world record | :34:30. | :34:38. | |
holder, her husband, Ashton. He will be supporting his wife, as he does | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
all the time. Giving words of encouragement. They do train | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
together. They have a great coach. He gives them both what they need. | :34:49. | :34:56. | |
Sometimes, that dynamic is not easy. She is really strong, a great | :34:57. | :34:58. | |
sprinter as well. Ashley has been doing some 400m | :34:59. | :35:09. | |
hurdles as well. He is enjoying his ear off. | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
Andrew, it is all yours. Welcome to this heat of the 100 | :35:14. | :35:22. | |
metres hurdles. We just saw Jessica Tappin. Jessica | :35:23. | :35:27. | |
Zelinka is an individual Olympics finalist in this event. She will be | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
favourite for the silver medal in the overall heptathlon behind | :35:33. | :35:38. | |
Brianne. But a lot of things can happen. There is a chance for other | :35:39. | :35:43. | |
athletes. Al CD goes in lane four. | :35:44. | :36:00. | |
Slack of Jamaica. -- Alcide. And the favourite, looking for a good start. | :36:01. | :36:07. | |
13 seconds flat she has managed in the 100 metres hurdles before. A | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
good event for her. She is good pretty much all the way through the | :36:12. | :36:16. | |
event. Jessica Zelinka, her Canadian team-mate. What can Jessica Tappin | :36:17. | :36:26. | |
and Jessica Taylor do? There are certainly medals up for | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
grabs for someone else in this field. Tappin and Taylor have a very | :36:34. | :36:43. | |
good shout. Jessica Tappin is the stronger | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
hurdler in the race. Away they go. Already, Jessica | :36:51. | :36:59. | |
Zelinka is moving away comfortably. Brianne with a decent run. Tappin in | :37:00. | :37:06. | |
third place. A little bit of a breeze behind. A | :37:07. | :37:12. | |
Games best in this event for Jessica Zelinka of Canada. It may be her | :37:13. | :37:19. | |
illustrious team-mate who takes the title. | :37:20. | :37:22. | |
The two in dish athlete title. | :37:23. | :37:29. | |
behind, Jessica Tappin ran pretty well -- English athletes. | :37:30. | :37:33. | |
A good start for Jessica Zelinka, as we expected. | :37:34. | :37:38. | |
You can tell she is a well honed hurdler and she runs away from this | :37:39. | :37:45. | |
field, as she is expected to in this heptathlon. Both Canadians are | :37:46. | :37:54. | |
likely on paper at least to be the main contenders. But there is a | :37:55. | :37:55. | |
bronze medal up for grabs. This makes for a great two days of | :37:56. | :38:15. | |
activity. Brianne Theisen-Eaton is an outright favourite. | :38:16. | :38:24. | |
Let us concentrate on the two English athletes. Jessica Tappin | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
does have a very decent personal best in the hurdles. She has got | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
reasonably close to it. Jessica Taylor on the inside, she has won a | :38:34. | :38:40. | |
personal best here. That is what we are looking for, to beat your | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
personal best. The hurdling technique of Jessica Zelinka is | :38:46. | :38:53. | |
flawless. It adds up to a comfortable victory. | :38:54. | :39:02. | |
A Games best. The overall favourite is in second place. And a personal | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
best for Jessica Taylor. JJ Jegede Matt -- is looking for an | :39:08. | :39:26. | |
automatic qualification. Come on! 7.90 is | :39:27. | :39:37. | |
A controlled effort from JJ. Straining through the air, however. | :39:38. | :39:45. | |
He was very good on the board. Straining through the air, however. | :39:46. | :39:51. | |
always a challenge when things go right, which it looked, if it is not | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
quite enough, what do you do about it? That may not be enough. That is | :39:57. | :39:59. | |
eighth place. Greg Rutherford, enjoying himself. A | :40:00. | :40:14. | |
few photos, why not? He has until tomorrow evening to muster | :40:15. | :40:16. | |
few photos, why not? He has until spring. Which he is no doubt mindful | :40:17. | :40:18. | |
of. Olympic champion from two years spring. Which he is no doubt mindful | :40:19. | :40:24. | |
ago. It is the best feeling ever, you qualify first round, gave | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
everyone struggling, do you have a rest. And the official. The bad | :40:29. | :40:36. | |
guy, just doing his job! That is enough. | :40:37. | :40:41. | |
I know he will have half an eye on the rest of the contenders for this | :40:42. | :40:50. | |
long jump. This is certainly one of them. Samaai, one of | :40:51. | :40:59. | |
long jump. This is certainly one of Africans here. He gets the white | :41:00. | :41:08. | |
flag. He is behind the plasticine. Samaai, looking to join Rutherford | :41:09. | :41:17. | |
with automatic qualification. It looks around the mark of Rutherford. | :41:18. | :41:28. | |
Samaai, out towards what is his lifetime best. The 22-year old looks | :41:29. | :41:39. | |
pleased. Yes. Automatic qualifying also will stop good stuff. | :41:40. | :41:48. | |
-- qualifying also. The Greg Rutherford still | :41:49. | :41:56. | |
infuriating the official! I wonder if there is dope testing, there is | :41:57. | :42:04. | |
no him to be brushed off. -- no need for him to be rushed off. | :42:05. | :42:19. | |
Brianne Theisen-Eaton recovered very well after that first total. Which | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
is why keeping focused is so important. A lot of adrenaline. | :42:25. | :42:30. | |
She came out and clattered that first hurdle. I would only assume | :42:31. | :42:37. | |
she is carrying so much speed she was on top of that hurdle too | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
quickly. She recovered nicely, concentrated, and came away with a | :42:42. | :42:47. | |
good hurdles time. You mentioned the hurdlers were | :42:48. | :42:54. | |
struggling because of the wind. It looked like she was too close to | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
the first hurdle. When you hit it with your lead leg, it means you are | :43:00. | :43:06. | |
too close to the barrier. The other thing for Brianne, she had | :43:07. | :43:13. | |
Jessica Zelinka streaking away and she had to maintain her composure. | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
She knows Ellington is a quality hurdler, she has been around a long | :43:19. | :43:24. | |
time and made finals -- she knows Jessica Zelinka. | :43:25. | :43:36. | |
How do you get that out of your mind for the next event. The frustration, | :43:37. | :43:44. | |
that mistake. That is the challenge with the heptathlon, you had to | :43:45. | :43:51. | |
eradicate that. You focused next on becoming the high jumper. The | :43:52. | :43:54. | |
proximity between the hurdles and the high jump, it is quite short | :43:55. | :44:01. | |
between events. You have to lose that baggage early. Whether it is a | :44:02. | :44:07. | |
good one or -1. On the track, the 110 metres hurdles | :44:08. | :44:09. | |
heats. Thank you very much. I wanted to | :44:10. | :44:21. | |
bring you an update on the men's hockey taking place this morning. | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
England have been playing New Zealand. That match has ended with | :44:26. | :44:26. | |
England losing, the score was 2-1. That was the winning goal, scoring | :44:27. | :44:38. | |
from a penalty corner. The moment that took the school to 2-1. It | :44:39. | :44:46. | |
means England may end up facing Australia in a potential semifinal. | :44:47. | :44:51. | |
This is what is on BBC Three at the moment, the morning session at the | :44:52. | :44:55. | |
swimming, Helen Skelton is looking after all of that. | :44:56. | :44:59. | |
That is all available on the Red Button. | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
Netball is continuing now, England still going strong against and dad | :45:04. | :45:05. | |
and Tobago. There is even more on the Sport | :45:06. | :45:21. | |
website, a choice of other live options including badminton, lawn | :45:22. | :45:25. | |
bowls and table tennis. You can take your pick. Back, though, to Hampden | :45:26. | :45:33. | |
Park, a very busy day of athletics under way. | :45:34. | :45:37. | |
Thanks, Mishal, next up on track is the men's 110 metres hurdles, the | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
first heat featuring the defending Commonwealth champion, Andy Turner. | :45:43. | :45:49. | |
I don't think I'm ever going to have a year quite as bad as last year, | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
straight after the Olympics I had surgery, I have to have more | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
surgery, and that is not going to plan. My mum passed away of a | :45:59. | :46:06. | |
stroke, very unexpected, she was my biggest fan, she used to come to the | :46:07. | :46:09. | |
track all the time, watch all the races, so devastating, but during | :46:10. | :46:18. | |
the funeral some little... I can't say the word I wanted to say, but | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
burgled the house and stole everything. A lot of times I have | :46:24. | :46:29. | |
just thought, well, I don't want to do this any more. What have I got | :46:30. | :46:38. | |
left? My motivation just went. But just thinking back, my mum would | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
never have wanted me to stop, she would have wanted me to try and make | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
the World Championships, and I have been fortunate enough to get some | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
shape and qualify for these and get picked for the European | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
Championships as well, so she is watching over me. Andy Turner is | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
going to become the champion. I excited? Do I feel extra pressure? | :47:01. | :47:08. | |
The hurdles has moved on, the standard is very high a guy has run | :47:09. | :47:17. | |
some 13, he is going to be there. I have not ran that this year, so I | :47:18. | :47:23. | |
have got a lot of work to do, and it is an event that on the day, a bit | :47:24. | :47:31. | |
of adrenaline, ten clear barriers, a personal best, my training has got | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
better, I am happy to go and use my experience and try to pull it at the | :47:37. | :47:45. | |
bag! My career kind of depends on how this goes. I am thankful to get | :47:46. | :47:52. | |
the opportunity to run for Great Britain, for England. Thinking about | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
it, it is getting my heart beating, and I can't wait to get out in front | :47:57. | :48:02. | |
of the crowd. : Has disappeared to the commentary box, it is good | :48:03. | :48:11. | |
morning to Paula. -- Colin. For all sorts of reasons, Andy Turner, he | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
has had a really tough time. He has had a really tough time, he has had | :48:17. | :48:21. | |
to stay buried focused and handle a lot of emotional turmoil which can | :48:22. | :48:28. | |
really make it tough when you are trying to compete every day, so he | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
has done really well to get here, and I'm sure that turmoil will give | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
him extra motivation to make this count here. , bronze medallist in | :48:39. | :48:54. | |
Daegu, he keeps getting knocked down, and getting up again. -- 2011. | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
There is only so much an down, and getting up again. -- 2011. | :48:59. | :49:01. | |
take emotionally and physically, and with Andy, how much of a period of | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
time can he be healthy to get some training in? | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
time can he be healthy to get some time injured, and that is very | :49:11. | :49:13. | |
draining. I have been there myself, and to get here, it is such an | :49:14. | :49:18. | |
incredible testament of his drive, his ambition, and the support that | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
he gets from friends and family to keep going. You end up in a very | :49:24. | :49:29. | |
difficult position where you have got to run to earn money, but you | :49:30. | :49:31. | |
shouldn't really be running got to run to earn money, but you | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
you are not quite fit. Exactly, and at that point it comes down to how | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
much you love what you are doing and how much you want to keep fighting | :49:41. | :49:44. | |
against all those knocks, investing yourself in it. Like you say, | :49:45. | :49:48. | |
putting yourself on the line when you are not quite ready, because you | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
have to fund your next block of training. That is in about five | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
minutes' time, Andy cannot take anything for granted, but in the | :49:57. | :50:02. | |
meantime we will head out to Steve Backley. And we rejoined the long | :50:03. | :50:08. | |
jump, where Greg Rutherford's party still goes on, celebrating | :50:09. | :50:17. | |
qualification. He has left the competition. That official must be | :50:18. | :50:24. | |
losing the will to live. It is a good ten minutes! Is best event of | :50:25. | :50:32. | |
the Games! -- his. He has earned the right to entertain the crowd, you | :50:33. | :50:35. | |
would have to say, and it is great to see him | :50:36. | :50:43. | |
He is going to sell him a dummy any minutes! He gave him the slip! He is | :50:44. | :50:52. | |
going to get a medal for this. He minutes! He gave him the slip! He is | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
would have done well in the sevens with that kind of move! | :50:57. | :51:02. | |
Meanwhile, back at the event proper, the one that Greg has just earned | :51:03. | :51:09. | |
the right to walk away from, this is Australia's Fabrice Lapierre, with | :51:10. | :51:16. | |
his third attempt. A man who we might have expected to easily | :51:17. | :51:19. | |
qualify, he has not yet, but he may have now. It looks as though he has | :51:20. | :51:31. | |
saved his best until last. 8.40 at his very best. That was four years | :51:32. | :51:39. | |
ago, however. 7.87 is his best from this year, but he may have just | :51:40. | :51:44. | |
bettered that, I would suggest. 7.90 is the automatic qualifying. Five | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
men have gone clear already, including England's Greg Rutherford. | :51:51. | :51:59. | |
7.95, a season's best for Fabrice Lapierre. | :52:00. | :52:05. | |
We still live with these wonderful pictures! Look at his face the | :52:06. | :52:13. | |
Meanwhile, again, back to the up, just give up! | :52:14. | :52:21. | |
Meanwhile, again, back to the events, this is all happening as we | :52:22. | :52:28. | |
watch it, JJ Jegede looking trio join the finalists. -- to. He is not | :52:29. | :52:40. | |
quite there just yet. That looks to be a similar mark, the third | :52:41. | :52:48. | |
Englishman. Chris Tomlinson, 7.89, looks like it will qualify. But JJ | :52:49. | :52:58. | |
Jegede, the 2014 UK champion, may be on his way home. We wait to see. | :52:59. | :53:02. | |
This is going to be right down to the wire. Just didn't finish that | :53:03. | :53:08. | |
drive off the board, cut it short. That is a sign of John one just | :53:09. | :53:16. | |
forcing it, no improvement, 7.58. -- that is a sign of someone just | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
forcing it. He might just sneak into the final, 12 to qualify. | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
You have to feel sorry for that official! He has completely given | :53:25. | :53:31. | |
up, hasn't it? Exasperated, I think, is the word to use for him. I think | :53:32. | :53:35. | |
he has had the right attitude to that. That is down, as Greg finally | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
makes his way towards leaving the arena, at the far end. Racing | :53:41. | :53:46. | |
towards an very shortly will be the men in the first heat of the 110 | :53:47. | :53:54. | |
metres hurdles. The first two and two fastest losers will be through | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
to the final, so quite brutal. For Andy Turner and the others here, no | :54:00. | :54:01. | |
room for error, this is tough. Well, that is the look of a man who | :54:02. | :54:26. | |
looks determined, doesn't he? He is going to have to produce something | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
pretty special to get into the top two, because without an extra round | :54:31. | :54:37. | |
in here, this is going to be tough. Sharman goes in the third heat. | :54:38. | :54:44. | |
Lawrence Clarke is in the second one. | :54:45. | :54:49. | |
So the conditions are improving, I have to say. There is sunshine and a | :54:50. | :54:57. | |
little bit of blue sky above. It is not that warm, to be honest. Colin | :54:58. | :55:00. | |
Jackson has turned up in what looks like winter clothing, I have to say! | :55:01. | :55:06. | |
Shane Brathwaite is having a great season for Barbados in lane two. | :55:07. | :55:12. | |
Watch out for lane three as well. Brathwaite gets a good start, Thomas | :55:13. | :55:18. | |
just hitting the first hurdle. He has faltered again and again. Andrew | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
Riley coming through, Turner has gone. Andrew Riley is going to take | :55:23. | :55:28. | |
this one. That was expected, but for Andy Turner, sitting on the track, | :55:29. | :55:31. | |
the defending champion, not the way to go out. Despair! It has been a | :55:32. | :55:38. | |
difficult, up and down year once more for Andy Turner, and this is | :55:39. | :55:41. | |
not the way you want to see any champion go out. Always a | :55:42. | :55:49. | |
possibility, Colin, the pressure, apart from injuries and all that | :55:50. | :55:54. | |
sort of thing, do you know? 13.47, the winning time, Riley has been | :55:55. | :55:59. | |
having a cracking year, that was a mountain for Andy Turner to climb. | :56:00. | :56:03. | |
It is very tough, he would have looked at the lane draws and just | :56:04. | :56:08. | |
pondered over his circumstances and the situation and wished he was at | :56:09. | :56:12. | |
his real best, but he smashed into that first hurdle, drove into the | :56:13. | :56:15. | |
second, couldn't recover and that was his race over very quickly. The | :56:16. | :56:22. | |
high hurdles is an unforgiving evident. One mistake and it can | :56:23. | :56:26. | |
seriously cost you. Out in front, Steve, Riley from Jamaica, as you | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
said, has had quite a nice season, building up very well indeed, and he | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
will be pleased he has made it through. He works hard, reacts well, | :56:36. | :56:40. | |
drives into the first hurdle, but he gets close to the barrier. He | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
catches it with his trailing leg, causing him to rotate. He had no | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
chance to recover. Too close to this one, he pushes it down. You can | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
imagine the huge frustration that he is suffering, the defending | :56:55. | :57:00. | |
champion, a tough old dear. A good point you were making in discussion | :57:01. | :57:04. | |
in the studio - what the athletes are saying it is that the warm up | :57:05. | :57:09. | |
track is very hard, it is different in the arena, but that was not the | :57:10. | :57:12. | |
start of the entity was competition he would have wanted, and he has | :57:13. | :57:18. | |
made it down to join Phil Jones. Thanks a lot, Steve, Andy, | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
commiserations. It is going to be difficult for me to even has to a | :57:23. | :57:27. | |
question, maybe you can describe it from your perspective. I got too | :57:28. | :57:38. | |
close to the first hurdle, hits it. And then the second one, and then | :57:39. | :57:43. | |
you are done for. Make a mistake at the first hurdle, to come back is | :57:44. | :57:49. | |
very difficult. Schoolboy error, absolute idiot. You have had a | :57:50. | :57:54. | |
troubled build-up, to say the least, how were you at the start? What was | :57:55. | :58:00. | |
your mindset like? No, it felt really good, training had gone well | :58:01. | :58:06. | |
all week. I felt like I was ready to run fast, I've ran well at the | :58:07. | :58:11. | |
Anniversary Games last week, so I am really disappointed not to put on a | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
better show, a cause that is just shocking. I know Andrew Cotter | :58:16. | :58:21. | |
talked in commentary about something said during the Diamond League | :58:22. | :58:26. | |
meeting about the warm up track, how springy it is, putting you off | :58:27. | :58:29. | |
kilter when it comes to the track here, did you experience anything | :58:30. | :58:36. | |
like that? A track is a track to me. If you run on a track like a | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
springboard, there is not going to be a spring yet one than that, I | :58:40. | :58:43. | |
cannot use that as an excuse. There is no excuse. I didn't execute what | :58:44. | :58:48. | |
I should have done. You know, I am not that guy who was going to go, my | :58:49. | :58:52. | |
shoelace came undone or a dog came on the track or something stupid. I | :58:53. | :58:56. | |
did not do what I was supposed to do. We appreciate your time and your | :58:57. | :59:04. | |
honesty. Cheers. He was very honest, but a little bit | :59:05. | :59:08. | |
harsh on himself, because he mentioned it being a schoolboy | :59:09. | :59:12. | |
error, but sometimes, with the emotion and the adrenaline flowing, | :59:13. | :59:14. | |
remember, he is the defending champion, he was going to work hard | :59:15. | :59:21. | |
into that first hurdle, and unfortunately if he had nailed | :59:22. | :59:22. | |
into that first hurdle, and he would have been up the front, but | :59:23. | :59:28. | |
you take the risk in high hurdles, and it did not pay off for Andy | :59:29. | :59:33. | |
today. Let's that is not the end of him, though. -- let's hope. You can | :59:34. | :59:41. | |
see his reaction, very sad for him, and frustrating. And the wind is | :59:42. | :59:54. | |
blowing harder to the west, which is kind of behind them down the home | :59:55. | :00:00. | |
straight. So it is another easy hurdling, sometimes you get blown | :00:01. | :00:04. | |
down faster to the first hurdle than you would like. As we get ready for | :00:05. | :00:10. | |
is second of these three heats. Straight through to the final. So it | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
is fairly brutal. You have to be on your game to go through. Lawrence | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
Clarke goes here. Such a surprise performance he had at the Olympics. | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
I'm looking to lane 2 where Parchement is supposed to be. I | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
can't see him at the moment. It says he is lining up, but he does not | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
start. He was struggling with a ham string problem. And busby doesn't | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
start. So things become a bit easier in this heat. There is Lawrence | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
Clarke. Finished fourth at the Olympics in London. Nicholas Hough | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
from Australia. He is the Olympic youth champion. Another Nigeria | :01:10. | :01:21. | |
combran who is an American convert. He is a former US college yacht | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
champion in lane 5. And Swift from Barbados. And an empty lane 7 where | :01:31. | :01:47. | |
busby was supposed to be and an empty lane where Parchement was | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
supposed to be. Two to go through only automatically, plus the two | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
fastest losers over the three heats. The final tonight. | :02:04. | :02:25. | |
Swift takes it from Clarke. They go through automatically, the time | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
13.58. A through automatically, the time | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
came through at the end. Clarke will be in the Commonwealth Games final. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Very pleased for Lawrence. If you remember in 2012, he was in the | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
Olympic final. So domestic running for Clarke is good. In contrast with | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
Andy Turner, he had a very good first hurdle, which set him up well | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
and he could execute his race perfectly. Some good competition | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
from Swift. That is what you want. Just pushing you all the way. Gets | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
out the blocks, reacts well, drives into that first hurdle and pulls his | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
trail leg through. If you can do that and keep it in the straight | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
line, it means you can push yourself directly forward. The impetus you | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
want and you can get your leg speed going makes it easier. The key for | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
all the hurdlers is to keep that leg speed going over the barriers that | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
will make your time much quicker. Well done Lawrence Clarke. He will | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
be pleased. A good run and a good result. That shows the times. | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
Lawrence Clarke safely through to the final. Anti-Turner crashed out | :03:54. | :04:13. | |
out in the first heat. Sometimes you're almost intruding on a private | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
grief. You almost come through in a daze, in a dream and you don't want | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
to have to come through. But you have to. All credit to him. He was | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
honest about what happened. But all he wants to do probably is just get | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
away. Get rid of the emotion of that and try and gather himself and | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
refocus in some way to come back from that. Because it is gutting. It | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
will have knocked the stuffing out of him. It was different in terms of | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
the issue with some of the hurdlers hitting that first hurdle too early. | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Yes, he caught it with his trail leg foot. It is almost like the hurdle | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
grabs you and takes you out of your stride. It was difficult for him to | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
recover. He crashed through the second and you can see the pain on | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
his face. It is just adding insult to injury. It is such a shame for | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
him. But he will go to the European Championships hopefully. He doesn't | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
seem to be hurt. So hopefully his season will continue. Will Sharman | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
is in the next heat and for him it has been a different sb and -- | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
season and something back too his best. Yes he is growing in | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
confidence. That is translating to his performances on the track. So we | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
want to see a nice, smooth passage through these heats, which will help | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
him build on the mope tum he has build up from this great win and how | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
well he ran in Glasgow and then at the anniversary games. This year he | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
has beaten good fields by a long way, but he has not got the time we | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
think he is capable of. But that will come. You can't search for | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
these things. You can see from his flat speed that he is almost there. | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
If he stays relaxed and has a clean hurdles race, that - those times | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
will come. Colin will be watching this, but first over to Steve. | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
COMMENTATOR: Will Sharman would have looked at Brathwaite, a former world | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
champion, and also the name of Wayne Davies, who is ranked No 3 in the | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
Commonwealth, Parchement was not a starter and this opens the way up. | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
Only Riley has run quicker than Sharman of those left and with the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
form he is in, he must be thinking, he would have been hopeful any way. | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
It will make a huge difference to his mind set and he can think about | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
being positive. Of all the titles available to domestic athletes, the | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Commonwealth Games and the European Championships, for Will this is the | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
one he can win. The Europeans will be a different level with our | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
Frenchman doing so well. Ryan Brathwaite, who is no relation to | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Shane Brathwaite, who we saw in the first heat. A former world champion. | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
Will Sharman. Always seeps to produce his best when it matters. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
That win here in the Diamond League event a couple of weeks ago seems | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
ages ago now, but that must stand him in such good stead. Same Baines | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
of Australia, a former Commonwealth youth champion in 2008. Ogieriakhi | :08:11. | :08:37. | |
from Nigeria is next to him. And Thingalaya from India. His friends | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
call him Sid and I think he is a friend of mine as well! 13.84 his | :08:42. | :08:50. | |
best this year. He is Keetched by Sally Pearson's coach. -- coached by | :08:51. | :09:02. | |
. The top two into the final tonight | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
at quarter to 9. 13. 48 the winning time. That was | :09:10. | :09:57. | |
better from Brathwaite than we have seen this season. Will Sharman is | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
through. You worry when the guy next to you is hitting hurdles and so | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
close to each other. Yes I was anxious. You can see if there was | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
any clashes of arms. But what was good is both are battling into a | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
strong head wind. You take that winning time of 13. 48f they had | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
that as a tail wind, they would be close to 13.1. So they come out of | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
the blocks hard. Let's see if there are any clashes. That seems to be | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
OK. They work hard into the barriers. It is the arms that will | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
cause the problems. They will flay and maybe touch each other. When | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
you're hurdling, you're not used to people being around. I think there | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
was a touch there and you can see that they're keeping each other | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
close and there is another clash and they both ebds up -- end up hitting | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
the hurdle. But nice and strong and it was all about qualification. We | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
have been watching that. Some bumping and elbow clashing, but | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
safely through? Yes through to the business end of the competition now. | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
That is what it is about. So looking foyer ward to tonight. What is like | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
in a race like that where you're trying to put a marker down to your | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
rivals? Well, if you don't take each run seriously, the next one is not | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
guaranteed. I took it seriously. I came out and I wanted to win. Then | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
guaranteed. I took it seriously. I started hooking arms with | :11:50. | :11:50. | |
Brathwaite. As I was trying to go past him, I was getting caught | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
behind his arm. I thought it is not worth risking a fall in the heat we | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
are clearly ahead and I tucked in where I was and ticked over to the | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
finish. But I'm in the final. So it's got to be guns blazing f | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
somebody fires, you fire a bazooka back. England were | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
somebody fires, you fire a bazooka to do well. How does it affect your | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
mind when your rivals have gone? You have got to handle business. I have | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
got a job to do. I like to compete against the best. It is a shame | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
they're not here and I wish them the best. Well done. We will see you in | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
the final. That final tonight at quarter to 9. Brathwaite just | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
getting the nod ahead of Sharman. He will hope they aren't drawn with | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
each other. An interesting qualification. Partly because of the | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
people who didn't line up and then these are the men who will contest | :12:59. | :13:07. | |
the final. Al-Ameen competing four Nigeria -- for Nigeria and making it | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
through. It is all very tight there. Conditions tonight may be a factor. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
It will be chilly and the wind could be in their face again. Day two of | :13:19. | :13:33. | |
the decathlon continues. This is the event Damian Warner is leading by | :13:34. | :13:45. | |
some 300 points and looking to make his mark in the event. It looks as | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
though he is romping away after being quick out of the blocks | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
yesterday. Takes no risks. Nowhere near the front of the circle. A man | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
who knows he is on a way to only one thing and that is Commonwealth gold. | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
Just the pole vault, the javelin and the 15 hundred metres. -- 1,500 | :14:08. | :14:18. | |
metres. John Lane is having a great couple of days. This is not one of | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
his strongest vents. But he knows medals are on offer and he is in | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
contention. A relative newcomer to the event. He has a lifetime best of | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
42 metres. It didn't seem to the event. He has a lifetime best of | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
out of his hand cleanly. A good strike at the front of the circle. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Quick through the throw and just chased it out and got a little off | :14:48. | :14:58. | |
balance maybe. 38.96. It is a slight improvement. But this man, this is | :14:59. | :15:08. | |
the man Felix from Grenada, who may just spoil the English party. | :15:09. | :15:33. | |
That is very significant. It is about accumulating | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
That is very significant. It is two days. That is a huge personal | :15:39. | :15:47. | |
best. Great stuff! Well, the hurdles final is set up or | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
this evening. It is wide open. Andy will be even more gutted, if that is | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
possible. He will be really kicking himself. | :15:58. | :16:11. | |
Great for William Sharman, great for Lawrence Clarke. There are medals to | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
be one. Lawrence Clarke. There are medals to | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
be I believe those two could get on the podium. Will Sharman will have | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
his eyes on gold, no doubt about that. | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
Did he get drawn into a race before the final? Of course he did! He | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
wants to be competitive. He wants to stamp his authority. He is saying, I | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
am here, I am ready to win. That says a lot to the rest of the | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
competitors that he is in good shape and he once said. We didn't exactly | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
believe him when he said he eased off! You didn't, did you? I didn't. | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
It is not my event and I would not profess to be an expert, but I think | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
there was a bit of ego going on there. It is important going into | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
the final feeling that you have another gear. To be honest, I think | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
he does have another gear. Very diplomatic, Paul! As always! When we | :17:20. | :17:30. | |
come back we will see David Weir. First, back to Michelle. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
If you are with us earlier, we showed you the opening stages of the | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
net ball clash between England and Trinidad and Tobago. England went on | :17:40. | :17:47. | |
to win that comfortably. They are on track for a semifinal spot. In the | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
men's hockey, there was a late goal by Simon child that give New Zealand | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
victory over England. England should still qualify. This defeat means | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
that they are now likely to meet Australia in the semifinals. | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
On BBC Three, the swimming heats. This evening there will be some yet | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
gold is on offer. That will be the end of the swimming here in Glasgow. | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
Live by the red button, the gymnastics is just beginning. There | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
are two golds on offer today in the team event. There is a lot more via | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
the BBC website, including Abington and long balls. | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
Back to the athletics! Thanks, Michelle. Lots of stars in action | :18:41. | :18:50. | |
today, David Rudisha, not later. David Weir. We also saw Greg | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Rutherford in long jump qualification. He qualified very | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
easily with 8.05 metres. He seemed to sign every autograph in the | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
stadium! Eventually, he made it to Phil Jones. | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Well, job done! I'd came into this saying I would love to get one jump | :19:12. | :19:21. | |
and get into the final. It was called this morning, I was wearing | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
nylon tights just to make sure the muscle stayed warm. From the point | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
of view of the first round, I was happy. Just determined to get out | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
there, get over 7.90 and get myself ready. The last time you were in | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
Glasgow you warmed up but did not compete, you have a niggle. Are you | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
OK? I am! There are always little niggles, but you manage them and | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
hopefully come into the championships feeling as good as you | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
can. I feel confident and happy, which is the most important thing. | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
Unregistered tomorrow and hopefully another good performance. What a | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
reception from the crowd! You must have brought back memories of London | :20:06. | :20:15. | |
2012. Absolutely. It was unreal! It was out of this world. I just want | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
to say thank you to the crowd, they helped hugely. Without them, it does | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
change things. That was incredible. Amazing reception. You can hear how | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
noisy it can get! You were able to give back to the crowd. You were | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
signing autographs after autograph. As I said, the crowd were out of | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
this world. It is always nice to spend a bit of time, try to take a | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
few photographs and things like that. It was a pleasure. I was | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
getting pulled away a lot! I like dew sidestepping Bacchae! It is | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
likely to give back a little bit and I don't think everybody always does | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
that. It is great to get some interaction. It is nice to be | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
involved in that way. It is a great thing. We just saw Andy Turner, one | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
of my best mates, go out and have a torrid time. That is a wake-up call. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
It is never easy at a major championship. You have to keep your | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
head on, hope fully have a good one. Thank you for talking to us. | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
Let's have a look at the long jump qualifiers. Greg Rutherford leading | :21:33. | :21:41. | |
the way. Very generous with his time, we have to say. I think Samaai | :21:42. | :21:54. | |
could be a real fact in the final. Chris Tomlinson also made it | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
through, but he has had his injury problems. JJ Jegede also managed to | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
scrape through. Those finals are tomorrow evening. We have another | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
guess, Tanni Grey-Thompson. We have the T54 Ontrack coming up | :22:08. | :22:31. | |
soon for the men. Yes, the women's are coming up. I am nervous, I am | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
feeling sick! There is nothing I can do now. Is it worse than competing? | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
We worse. There is nothing I can do to help her. Right now I would | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
rather be on the track them here. She is looking good. She is a teen | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
and one of the most calm athletes I know. She just turned 16 in London. | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
She dealt with it incredibly well. Every athlete works hard but I see | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
She dealt with it incredibly well. her day in, day out. Being that | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
close to her, it is really hard when you are closely involved with an | :23:14. | :23:14. | |
athlete. Qualification, it is three you are closely involved with an | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
plus the fourth fastest, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Shelly | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
Woods, is -- comes up in the second heat will get through no problems at | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
all. It'll be interesting to see how they run the races. It is whether | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
all. It'll be interesting to see how they go out hard early, then go for | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
an easy qualification. It is a they go out hard early, then go for | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
atmosphere. For the athlete, are they enjoying it, is this a | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
distraction with the cried? I think it all is preparation. You know that | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
the crowd are supporting you. It is all good. | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
Jonathan, you have interrupted a singsong! We were jumping up and I | :24:04. | :24:19. | |
that everybody else. It is creating a great atmosphere for Jade Jones. | :24:20. | :24:35. | |
She looks incredibly calm. Dawson-Farrell is from Glasgow. She | :24:36. | :24:52. | |
gets a huge cheer! There is Frimpong, from Gama. Christie Dawes | :24:53. | :25:01. | |
is on the inside. She is getting to the end of her career at 34. She | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
picked up a bronze in the 5,000 metres in London. Here, going in the | :25:07. | :25:19. | |
T54 1500 metres. Diane Roy is the defending champion. | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
A great opportunity for the two youngsters, Jade Jones in | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
particular. She has satellite ready quickly. Shelly Woods will be going | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
in the next heat. The top three will qualify and the fourth fastest will | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
get into the final. Jade Jones has gone into an early lead. Tucked in a | :25:43. | :25:54. | |
little bit further back is Dawson-Farrell of Scotland. I think | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
Jade Jones Dawson-Farrell of Scotland. I think | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
trouble early on, make sure that she was clear. The challenging it is to | :26:05. | :26:13. | |
force her way into the pack. Megan Farrell made a very sensible | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
force her way into the pack. Megan decision to drop back. Jade Jones is | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
a good person to sit behind because she has a good sprint finish. | :26:19. | :26:34. | |
Four of them are already pulling away. Only three will qualify by | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
right. You would have to think that the speed they are setting, there is | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
every opportunity that all four of them will go through. | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
Dawson-Farrell, her dad set up a set of rollers in the front room where | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
she lives so she could do a bit of training there. The record at the | :26:57. | :27:10. | |
games, that is still held by Rory, there is every chance we could see | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
that cool here in the heat. Jade Jones is leading them three 800 | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
metres. Tanni Grey-Thompson, she is only 18, but she is shown but she | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
can cope with this kind of situation. Jade shows no fear | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
whatsoever. Interesting, they are just lying | :27:30. | :27:46. | |
Dawson-Farrell to come to the front. This is Megan's moment, actually. | :27:47. | :27:55. | |
They are taking it fairly steady at the moment. This is a wonderful | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
experience for Dawson-Farrell. It'll be a great race for a Megan, | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
probably a personal best. They take the bell. It is | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
probably a personal best. They take leading at the moment. Tucked in | :28:13. | :28:19. | |
behind her is Jade Jones, then Diane Roy. The top three will | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
automatically qualify. A reasonable speed being set here. The Scottish | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
cried are really enjoying this performance from the 21-year-old. | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
cried are really enjoying this Jade Jones has moved through to take | :28:33. | :28:40. | |
the lead. These three start to pull away. Jade Jones is going to try to | :28:41. | :28:53. | |
hang on to the lead. A little bit of testing is being done. Look at the | :28:54. | :29:03. | |
experience of Diane Roy. Dawes is following in her slipstream. These | :29:04. | :29:05. | |
three will qualify fairly comfortably. Let's look at the | :29:06. | :29:14. | |
clock. A new games record in the heats! Those three are safely | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
through. Dawson-Farrell crosses the line in fourth place. | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
through. Dawson-Farrell crosses the fastest loser spots available, I am | :29:26. | :29:28. | |
pretty hopeful that she will be able to go through to the final | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
pretty hopeful that she will be able Thursday. Job done. I'm sure the | :29:33. | :29:35. | |
pretty hopeful that she will be able atmosphere in here will be something | :29:36. | :29:36. | |
that the three of them will have enjoyed. A little bit over the test | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
over the last 300 metres. race. She wasn't pulling the pace | :29:40. | :29:53. | |
too hard. She is good at grabbing on to a wheel. It is quite windy and if | :29:54. | :30:00. | |
you're behind somebody, you can make a difference to the time and energy | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
that is expended. She is very experience doing just what she had | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
to do. And there is plenty more to come from all three women in this | :30:13. | :30:27. | |
race. Well, Tanni, I know - well for both of us, our days have gone, but | :30:28. | :30:32. | |
the chance to compete in this sort of atmosphere is marvellous for Jade | :30:33. | :30:39. | |
Jones. Yes, I can relax now, as somebody involved in her coaching. I | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
felt I was pushing every single step with he:. Shelley Woods in the next | :30:46. | :31:00. | |
heat. But Jade Jones is through. Back to this decathlon. David Guest | :31:01. | :31:08. | |
of Wales. Looking to get among the medals. He is just outside of them | :31:09. | :31:15. | |
at the moment for the Welsh record holder. He is a world junior | :31:16. | :31:22. | |
champion. Now at the age of 22, with a discus best of 43 metres. Anything | :31:23. | :31:30. | |
close to that gives you a chance of accumulating the points across the | :31:31. | :31:41. | |
ten events. Very good, a season's best. 43.14. STEVE CRAM: Roy winning | :31:42. | :31:51. | |
that one as expected. Perhaps as expected. Jade Jones going through | :31:52. | :31:59. | |
and Dawson Farrell with a good performance in fourth. A season's | :32:00. | :32:07. | |
best for Fordjour. Jade is with me after what I would imagine is an | :32:08. | :32:11. | |
amazing moment for you to go around being cheered by this crowd and a | :32:12. | :32:17. | |
Scot in the race as well. Yes, it is the first time I have competed for | :32:18. | :32:19. | |
England. So it was different. the first time I have competed for | :32:20. | :32:25. | |
experienced it at the Paralympic this atmosphere, did it bring back | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
good memories? Yes I have been saying the whole thing reminds me of | :32:30. | :32:35. | |
London. It is good and the crowd's amazing. You're still so young, to | :32:36. | :32:41. | |
have those experiences under your belt will stand you in great stead? | :32:42. | :32:50. | |
Yes I'm still quite young and wheelchair racers don't peak until | :32:51. | :32:56. | |
their 20s. So to make the final is amazing. What do you learn from a | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
race like this, a tactical race? Yeah, the girls raced differently at | :33:02. | :33:06. | |
Paralympics and the Commonwealth Games. It is more tactical and it is | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
kind of getting yourself in the right positions and you learn from | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
each race. Tanni said that you're fearless! I am not so shoor about | :33:17. | :33:23. | |
that -- sure about that. But it was a good race. All the best well done. | :33:24. | :33:38. | |
Thank you. The second of the first round T54 heats with Samantha | :33:39. | :33:46. | |
Kinghorn in this one and beside her Shelley Woods. Both would expect to | :33:47. | :34:05. | |
qualify. What an experience this will be for her. I stress that ten | :34:06. | :34:12. | |
athletes will go through from 14 starting. So qualifying should be | :34:13. | :34:21. | |
comfortable for Shelley Woods and Samantha Kinghorn. Angie Ballard as | :34:22. | :34:27. | |
well from Australia and you would expect them to make it. Shelley | :34:28. | :34:33. | |
well from Australia and you would Woods is the world record holder | :34:34. | :34:36. | |
over this distance. Silver medals from the last two Paralympics. And | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
Tanni watching this, I was from the last two Paralympics. And | :34:41. | :34:46. | |
quote from Steven Miller who said integration isn't the way forward, | :34:47. | :34:54. | |
but it is great for the athletes involved. It is amazing for | :34:55. | :34:59. | |
Commonwealth Games, where you're able to drop in a number of events | :35:00. | :35:05. | |
and it is interesting that canoeing and rowing have integrated world | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
Championships. That is something that would be easy to achieve and | :35:09. | :35:14. | |
quite exciting. Because I think for the fans, they don't differentiate | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
between somebody disabled and not disabled. They just want to see | :35:20. | :35:24. | |
great racing. One of things in wheelchair racing is when they're | :35:25. | :35:28. | |
crashes and people are moving each other in and out in a way you can't | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
do in running. And spectators love that. For those watching Athletic | :35:35. | :35:39. | |
lets for the first time, morning sessions are not supposed to have | :35:40. | :35:44. | |
crowds like this. You go around the world and morning sessions are | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
sparsely attended. We saw at the London Olympic what is can happen | :35:51. | :35:53. | |
with crowds and we are seeing it again in Glasgow. We're just about | :35:54. | :36:02. | |
ready. It is a longish hold on the start. The T53s are racing here as | :36:03. | :36:22. | |
well. But perhaps for Tanni to explain the differences. Well the | :36:23. | :36:31. | |
T53 has no stomach or lower back Mus ms and a T54 does. The difference it | :36:32. | :36:37. | |
makes is on the start. You're not able to hold your body down in the | :36:38. | :36:44. | |
same way. At 1,500 metres and above, even races together, because it is | :36:45. | :36:51. | |
deemed there is so little difference. Once you get up to top | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
speed there is no differentiation. Does that affect a change in speed, | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
if somebody puts in a kick to get the acceleration going? It can do in | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
terms of if there is a lot of repetitive kicking. I was a T53 and | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
used my head and arms to lift my body. If you look at Samantha | :37:13. | :37:18. | |
Kinghorn, her knees are higher than some of the T54 athletes, because | :37:19. | :37:25. | |
she uses the knees and the seating cage to act ass a support to help -- | :37:26. | :37:31. | |
to act as a support to help her. So she may get a better top speed if | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
her niece were lower, it would have a big effect on how she is can get | :37:37. | :37:43. | |
away from the gun. A big noise for Shelley Woods. The head phones being | :37:44. | :38:06. | |
put to good use in this noisy Hampden Park. The second heats in | :38:07. | :38:16. | |
the first round. Three to go through automatically and the four fastest | :38:17. | :38:19. | |
losers to the final on Thursday night. A bit of weak sunshine | :38:20. | :38:27. | |
filtering through as an give Ballard takes it -- Angie Ballard takes the | :38:28. | :38:50. | |
lead. The noise will carry these athletes all the way around the | :38:51. | :38:53. | |
track. Shelley Woods is athletes all the way around the | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
in third. Explain some of the tactics here? Shelley Woods is in a | :39:00. | :39:13. | |
safe place and doesn't want go go to the front. They will hit the front | :39:14. | :39:20. | |
of the chair, that is the compensator that takes them around | :39:21. | :39:24. | |
the bends. They will have an opportunity to set the chairs and it | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
is crucial they get that right. Especially at the change in speeds | :39:29. | :39:35. | |
and the wind can affect it. It is crucial you get this right. Because | :39:36. | :39:45. | |
if you don't you can clip the kerb. Samantha Kinghorn out in front and | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
the crowd enjoying this. Her personal best she was set in Bedford | :39:50. | :39:54. | |
in June. But just 18 years old and plenty to come. She is having a look | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
around and asking perhaps for others to come through. Yes, Sammy Kinghorn | :40:01. | :40:07. | |
has only been racing two year, she op broke her back in 2010. So she | :40:08. | :40:15. | |
has a fast PB. But that was in a paced race. She doesn't have the | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
experience of the tactics. But this is slower. They're taking it very | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
steady and going for safe qualification. Three go through | :40:25. | :40:31. | |
automatically. And not as quick as the first heat and they're really | :40:32. | :40:38. | |
slowing down as Angie Ballard looks around. They're all doing the maths, | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
saying three from five. Shelley Woods, the big talent, the world | :40:44. | :40:48. | |
record holder, in the middle of the pack. It is a very slow pace. You | :40:49. | :40:57. | |
look at the time in the first one we are not going to be on that now. But | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
the crowd want to see a race and they will see a burn up on the last | :41:02. | :41:10. | |
lap. Sammy Kinghorn deciding to hit the accelerator a bit. And they come | :41:11. | :41:16. | |
to the final lap and we stress just three from this top five will go | :41:17. | :41:27. | |
through automatically. Shelley Woods hanging on to the back of Angie | :41:28. | :41:33. | |
Ballard. We suspect they may begin too lift away. The noise, which has | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
been tremendous for the morning session, rose again and here comes | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
Shelley Woods on the outside. Takes her past Angie Ballard and Sam | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
Kinghorn and a look inside and testing her pace for greater | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
challenges to come in the final. Angie Ballard easing her way past | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
Sam Kinghorn. But Kinghorn looks like she is going to hang on to | :41:59. | :42:06. | |
third and automatic qualifying. Shelley Woods showing us what she | :42:07. | :42:11. | |
can do, as if they needed reminding. She takes it just outside four | :42:12. | :42:13. | |
minutes. Samantha Kinghorn goes She takes it just outside four | :42:14. | :42:20. | |
through in third. A steady race and nothing too spectacular. But Shelley | :42:21. | :42:25. | |
Woods with plenty left in the tank. No doubt about that. Shelley Woods | :42:26. | :42:36. | |
again doing just what she had to do, Tanni? Yes I may have expected her | :42:37. | :42:42. | |
to take it out earlier to test the others. But when you see her | :42:43. | :42:47. | |
accelerate, she lifts her elbows very high and drives strongly | :42:48. | :42:54. | |
through. In the last couple of months Shelley's acceleration has | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
improved. At the final she will have to go harder and quicker. She does | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
haven't the sprinting that Angie Ballard has and she will have to | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
work harder to reach the podium on Thursday. Mohammed was squeezed out | :43:10. | :43:19. | |
to fourth and she will have wait to see if she qualifies for the final | :43:20. | :43:28. | |
as the fastersest lose -- fastest loser. Shelley Woods you suspect my | :43:29. | :43:35. | |
be the athlete too beat in the final. But of course Diane Roy and | :43:36. | :43:42. | |
Dawes and Jade Jones looked very strong in the first heat. They're | :43:43. | :43:52. | |
just enjoying the atmosphere. The final is on Thursday night. So a | :43:53. | :43:54. | |
couple of days to recuperate. final is on Thursday night. So a | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
Weir is going in a little while of that? When she had to, she found | :44:00. | :44:44. | |
a bit of extra speed. That was a consummate performance | :44:45. | :44:52. | |
through to the final. Let me ask you about the atmosphere and how you | :44:53. | :44:58. | |
enjoyed it? It is fantastic out here. It is amazing to have the | :44:59. | :45:04. | |
opportunity to race here. I think they give support for everybody, but | :45:05. | :45:09. | |
especially for England the support is amazing. There are a lot of | :45:10. | :45:16. | |
people supporting all of the racers, which is brilliant. How did that | :45:17. | :45:23. | |
risk all for you? It was good. I am happy with that. It is happy to blue | :45:24. | :45:31. | |
-- I am happy to blow away the cobwebs of it. I think the big | :45:32. | :45:37. | |
contenders are in the other heat. I think the final will be very | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
competitive. Will you be in medals? That is what I am going for! Thank | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
you for talking to us. Thank you. A full house at Hampden Park. | :45:49. | :45:57. | |
Jessica Ennis-Hill has said that Reggie, he is her new baby, are | :45:58. | :46:05. | |
enjoying watching the athletics. Day one of the heptathlon. Well, | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
actually, he is fast asleep. As parents, we say enjoyed those | :46:11. | :46:12. | |
moments of peace and quiet. Up on track next is arguably the | :46:13. | :46:24. | |
greatest Paralympic athlete of all time. David Weir. We have been to | :46:25. | :46:33. | |
meet him. You had fallen out of love with the | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
Paralympics after your first experience. I was training aid not. | :46:40. | :46:49. | |
I just lost the love of it. I wasn't impressed with the whole movement, | :46:50. | :46:52. | |
the Paralympic movement. I didn't think there would be a future in it. | :46:53. | :46:59. | |
Racing in Atlantic, there were probably more people sitting down | :47:00. | :47:02. | |
beside the swimming pool than there were in the whole stadium. I trained | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
for a bit when I got back, then I just didn't want to do it any more. | :47:08. | :47:13. | |
That is four gold medals for Tanni Grey-Thompson! | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
It was watching Sydney and Tanni Grey-Thompson. Yes, it was, watching | :47:19. | :47:24. | |
Tanni Grey-Thompson and the team doing so well, I was bitterly | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
disappointed in myself. I felt like I had let down a lot of people. I | :47:31. | :47:36. | |
said to myself, I will get back into the sport. I didn't know what I was | :47:37. | :47:41. | |
going to do, but afterwards I got the chair right and slowly got back | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
into it. Driving him on is somebody that he has known since he was eight | :47:47. | :47:51. | |
years old, Jenny Archer, who he turned to in 2002 since taking a | :47:52. | :47:57. | |
break from the sport. I asked what he really wanted to do. He said, I | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
want world records, gold medals, I want to be number one in the world. | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
I thought, I can't let this guy down. He had so much talent. He just | :48:10. | :48:19. | |
needed someone there to give him an extra push. He came and asked for | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
help and I have been working with them ever since. It has been | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
phenomenal for me to be by his side all these years. Are you now | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
impressed with how things have changed? Yes. I think London was | :48:34. | :48:39. | |
such an amazing experience, not just winning all the gold medals. | :48:40. | :48:42. | |
Underneath the stadium as we were going in, they already had said that | :48:43. | :48:48. | |
the tickets have sold out, but you still have the dyke, have they | :48:49. | :48:55. | |
really? I looked up and all I could see was the top layer -- they have | :48:56. | :49:04. | |
all sold out. I've just had a big smile, we have done it! You have all | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
those incredible memories. Do you draw on them? Of course. You think | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
of what you have done and that drives you on. I still have a few | :49:15. | :49:20. | |
challenges left. If I didn't have that, I probably would have retired. | :49:21. | :49:27. | |
I still have goals that I want to achieve. | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
What does it mean to you when a child comes up to you and tells you | :49:34. | :49:39. | |
that you are their hero? You get little clips on the Internet with | :49:40. | :49:47. | |
people saying, my child is sitting on a skateboard and he thinks he is | :49:48. | :49:51. | |
David Weir. Those kids don't care that you are in a wheelchair. It | :49:52. | :49:58. | |
gives you a happiness and joy at being recognised for what we do. We | :49:59. | :50:05. | |
are athletes. Yes, we might Bush machine, but it takes a lot of | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
effort to do and I think the kids realise that. -- push a machine. | :50:10. | :50:18. | |
From the start days, he has blossomed into a stunning athlete. | :50:19. | :50:29. | |
He was amazing as a junior athlete. He didn't believe that he was as | :50:30. | :50:33. | |
good as everybody else thought he was. We are all telling him, you can | :50:34. | :50:38. | |
be number one in the world. He was so disillusioned by Atlanta. We are | :50:39. | :50:50. | |
so happy that Sydney triggered him back in again. Even in Athens he was | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
still saying, I am not sure I can be number one in the world. After | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
Athens, and massive jump up and performance. -- in performance. | :51:00. | :51:12. | |
He can push themselves harder in training than most people I know. | :51:13. | :51:17. | |
Tactically, he is really astute. Until he believed that, whatever you | :51:18. | :51:23. | |
said to him, he just didn't get. His partnership with Jenny Archer is | :51:24. | :51:30. | |
amazing. She knows him Inside Out. She knows how to encourage him, | :51:31. | :51:37. | |
cajole him. David is very selective in the racers that he does so in | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
those races he has to do well. She brings out the best in him. Where do | :51:43. | :51:53. | |
you think is mindset is? Real will be a very different games. In | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
London, we got the Paralympics. Because of the TV coverage people | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
came to watch. I am much we will have that in real. He absolutely | :52:04. | :52:11. | |
can't get there and win gold medals. It is whether he feels it is enough | :52:12. | :52:23. | |
of a push for him. The silver bullet from Switzerland, that will sharpen | :52:24. | :52:29. | |
his mind. Let's jump back to the stadium to | :52:30. | :52:35. | |
catch up with some Horsfield. We are moving back to the discus, | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
the seventh of the ten the capital on events. This is Ashley Bryant. | :52:41. | :52:46. | |
Some of the contenders for the medals have already throw in. You | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
can get amongst them. Well, it was high. An awkward flight. We can | :52:52. | :53:02. | |
improve on that. Good power. He did not get his hand into the right | :53:03. | :53:08. | |
position at release. He showed too much of the discus to get the flight | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
required to send it out to serious distances. He just wanted to get one | :53:15. | :53:21. | |
in. This man, Lindon Victor, is a very good discus the law. He is a | :53:22. | :53:36. | |
50-metre discus thrower. His pole-vault is almost nonexistent. | :53:37. | :53:48. | |
His javelin is good also. These guys know that the minor medals are still | :53:49. | :53:55. | |
up for grabs. That is a game is best for him. -- games. | :53:56. | :54:14. | |
We are just getting ready for the first heat of the T54 1500 metres. | :54:15. | :54:22. | |
Everyone is huddling together for warmth. It is a wonderful setting, | :54:23. | :54:31. | |
wonderful atmosphere. We are just waiting for the athletes. A bit of a | :54:32. | :54:34. | |
delay. We will head back to the field. | :54:35. | :54:55. | |
So, Jessica has a link -- Jessica Zelinka. Well clear. | :54:56. | :55:07. | |
Early stages, but the English athletes know that the bronze medal | :55:08. | :55:15. | |
is up for grabs if they put together a good performance. | :55:16. | :55:22. | |
is up for grabs if they put together there. 1.57 metres. | :55:23. | :55:42. | |
Jessica Taylor now. Her first attempt. They are | :55:43. | :55:54. | |
Jessica Taylor now. Her first each other. Quite an unorthodox | :55:55. | :55:54. | |
technique. Went very wide and each other. Quite an unorthodox | :55:55. | :56:04. | |
came back. A huge clearance. Clean so far. | :56:05. | :56:12. | |
I think we have worked out why we are waiting for the start of the T54 | :56:13. | :56:24. | |
1500 metres. The Kenyan athlete briefly left the stadium. I believe | :56:25. | :56:30. | |
some of the athletes here are briefly left the stadium. I believe | :56:31. | :56:40. | |
the same chairs as athletes from a previous race. They might have to | :56:41. | :56:49. | |
swap the wheels. A long wait for David Weir and the rest. You can see | :56:50. | :57:01. | |
Richard Colman beside David Weir. He goes for Australia. Josh Cassidy, he | :57:02. | :57:13. | |
has gone close to three minutes, as well. He won the 2012 Boston | :57:14. | :57:21. | |
Marathon. There is Richard Nicholson. He got a bronze medal in | :57:22. | :57:29. | |
2012. Boateng, off-camber. There is one | :57:30. | :58:04. | |
T53 in this race, and there he is, Richard Colman. He was a champion in | :58:05. | :58:13. | |
Athens and London at T53. Let's listen to the noise for David Weir. | :58:14. | :58:24. | |
This kind of atmosphere, that is what keeps him going after all he | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
has already done in the sport. Six Paralympic golds. He will have no | :58:29. | :58:44. | |
problems in this heat. Three go through automatically, plus the | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
fourth fastest losers go through to the finals. David Weir just looking | :58:49. | :59:00. | |
out to Josh Cassidy, who will take it out. Looking at the four men | :59:01. | :59:10. | |
there, they are of the standard athletes here. Only three will go | :59:11. | :59:20. | |
through automatically. I think they will like it to be a fairly quick | :59:21. | :59:25. | |
race, just so if they finish out of the top three they will still have a | :59:26. | :59:31. | |
chance of getting through. Tanni Grey-Thompson, they should be | :59:32. | :59:39. | |
comfortable for David Weir. The first lap was, I think it is fair to | :59:40. | :59:45. | |
say, sedate. Josh Cassidy is more of a road specialist. You can see that | :59:46. | :59:52. | |
it looks as if they are having a bit of a chat. Josh doesn't seem to want | :59:53. | :59:57. | |
to take the lead. Richard Colman is the one they seem to want at the | :59:58. | :00:05. | |
front. He is a dangerous athlete. He does have a devastating pick-up and | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
sprint finish. I think they are trying to tire him out and make it | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
more difficult for him to think about qualifying. | :00:13. | :00:19. |
