BBC One: Day 6: 19:00-22:00 Commonwealth Games

here in Glasgow. What a success this Commonwealth Games has been. Great

atmosphere, stadiums full, and sunshine. Well, most of the time.

Scotland have already had a record-breaking time.

COMMENTATOR: Hannah Miley wins gold for Scotland! What a start to the

Commonwealth Games. Daniel Wallace, massive from him! She wins the gold

medal! Chris Sherrington does it. Another gold medal for Scotland. A

second gold medal for the sisters. UN Birch!

Scotland have won the gold in the men's pairs! Gold for Neil Fachie!

Gold for the second time in two days in the velodrome! Magnificent! Libby

Clegg gets the gold medal, and Scotland celebrate! What a

performance. I kept looking at my phone, then. I

thought I had left it on until I saw Michael at the end there. 13 gold

medals so far. Scotland have won malt medals here than in any other

Commonwealth Games, and it's only half-time. England aren't doing too

badly either, over 80 medals. Wales have tasted gold while Northern

Ireland have bided their time. Boxing, I'm sure, will deliver for

them. 31 golds today, some won, some still to come tonight. Here are some

names we are looking out for in the athletics. Jazz Carlin took golds

last night. She tries for another in the 400m. And the men's 50m

freestyle. And Scotland's 400 individual medley hero, Daniel

Wallace, takes on Chad le Clos in an odd looking 200. On the track,

England's William Sharman is the to meeting the -- the man to beat in

the 110 metres hurdles. Scotland's Laura Muir in the 1500. And

England's Laura Weightman and Hannah England are also in the medal hunt.

So ABC nightly on BBC One, as we bring you the best of the swimming

and the athletics, but if you want to watch uninterrupted action from

the swimming pool all the track this evening, press your red button for

continuous coverage. And BBC Three thereof boxing quarterfinals and

weightlifting finals, plus every sport is live online, and if you

have missed anything, catch up on the iPlayer. It is all covered. We

will be going to the track at around 7:30pm that there to set the scene

is Michael Johnston. Michael, what are you looking forward to seeing

tonight? For me it is the 400m, obviously, and we have the men's

semifinals tonight and the women's final. I think both of these races

are shaping up to be very competitive. There is no of the

welding favourite in the women's 400m, because Montsho is not in

quite the shape she was in last year when she was in great shape but gave

it away at the end to Christine Ohuruogu. She's not in that shape

and the young Jamaican Christine Day is running really well. Montsho has

her work cut out for her. She will be looking to try to come back from

that defeat last year that the Jamaicans will make it difficult.

Then you have the men's 400m semifinal. The English guys looking

really good. I expect that Michael Bingen and Rooney will get into this

final. James is obviously the one to watch. Also undefeated last year

when he was in the shape. He will be looking to try to vindicate himself

there. Overall, what be made of the conditions at Hampden? Is it the

sort of track you would have liked to have Revlon? This is a great

stadium. It is not a purpose-built athletics stadium, but the way they

have built this platform, it is very nice. It is a nice venue where you

are close to the crowd. It is a great venue and the crowds are

amazing. Thanks. Look forward to another great night of athletics.

You can press your red button for the athletics. The women's 10,000

metres gets under way shortly. Here on BBC One it's time to go to the

final final session. And what time they have had at Tollcross.

COMMENTATOR: What a start to the Commonwealth Games! A brilliant

silver medal. Goodness me. A fantastic swim! What a wonderful

swim. What a massive swim from him. What brilliance when it was.

A tremendous week of swimming so far. Five world records, eight golds

for England, three for Scotland, one for Wales and the chance of more to

come tonight. Yes, the girls are looking great. Hannah Miley is in

her seventh event tonight, and Jazz Carlin, of course. A gold medal last

night. The crowd are excited. Later on the prospect of another Welsh

gold medal. Do you think there is a chance of two Welsh gold medals

tonight? I do not see why not. Jazz was looking a bit tired this morning

but that is to be expected. And what about the men? It is exciting. The.

With Jazz on the freestyle and then we could go into a second gold medal

for England, and that is Benjamin proud in the freestyle. Dan Wallace

in the middle, he has got a shout. In the 1500, Ryan could be the

favourite. Then the men's and women's medal relay. The men had the

first chance to win the relay since 1952. England? England. The swimmers

are coming out for the first of our finals. There is Commonwealth

champion Jazz Carlin. It is the 400m freestyle. Here is a and Andy. --

Adrian and Andy. COMMENTATOR: She took the pressure

of a nation and won the gold, Hannah Miley of Scotland. Brittany MacLean

took on the great Franklin in America this year. She was the

American universities' Swimmer Of The Year. Bront? Barrett has got the

fastest lifetime best on paper. She said it last year. Fairweather is

relatively unknown but she was the world junior swimmer last year. You

are right. Lauren Boyle looking focused. She is in Lane 4. The

fastest qualifier. It is a tight to call. All sorts of emotions and

psychology going on here. You have the youngsters wanting to have a go,

Boyle, 26 years of age, probably her best chance of a gold medal. All of

the faster ladies in this race were in the 800m freestyle final last

night. How easy to come straight off that into this? Jazz Carlin this

morning looked like she had been through the ringer. I hope she had a

good sleep and reset herself. Her best time is 4.04. Third fastest on

paper. Boyle is the second fastest. Jazz Carlin third.

Very good start in deed from Barrett. Very quick off the blocks.

Eight lengths of the scene. Jazz Carlin will be one name from the

bottom of the picture when you see her above the water. She is in the

white hat. She normally starts slowly and picks it up after the

first two lengths. She was about half a second down off the block,

which is unusual. At the top of the pool there you see

Miley with the white cap and Barrett with the yellow cap.

Lauren Boyle, with the black cap, has not started Charnley,

surprising. -- not started strongly. Barrett is certainly fast. Very

close indeed. Maclean second. Jazz Carlin third. Very interesting after

that first 100m. I thought she would be a little further behind at the

start. Had natural style is to breathe

toward the camera but she breathes on the other side as well to keep an

eye on what is going on on the field.

The whole field is separated by just about half a second.

At the bottom of the shot in the white cap with the green straps on

her suit is Jazz Carlin. She did not look great this morning but she

started reasonably well. I wonder whether she has made a move

just that. Look at that. It is all to play for now. Boyle starting to

push ahead. I am interested in Fairweather, the 17-year-old on the

right-hand side of the yellow hats. As if by magic, still there also, up

in lane number two is Hannah Miley. She has turned third. Only three

lengths to go. Boyle has definitely made a move now, a very big move

indeed. She has gone really early. Carling

is looking over there, really digging in, trying to keep up.

Fantastic, Boyle. Boyle turning first, Colin second, my third. Two

lengths left. -- Jazz Carlin second, Hannah Miley third.

I think it will be a bit much for Jazz. Lauren Boyle, that was a

brilliant 300. The champion on the 400 is Lauren

Boyle. Silver to Jazz Carlin and a bronze to Barrett of Australia, with

Hannah Miley just in fourth position. That was so close. 19

hundredths of a second. But no doubt about the champion, Lauren Boyle of

New Zealand. A stunning race by Boyle. Great tactics. Similar to the

800. She took her tactics to the whole field again here. Stayed with

everybody, managed to pace it but she was a little bit down that first

100m. Then she started to accelerate and by 200, that 200-300 was a big

old move. Looks like Hannah Miley has broken a Scottish record for

fourth place, just missing the bronze. It was Kaitlin catchy's

Scottish record. What a great way for Hannah Miley to end the race. --

Caitlin McClatchy. Weldon, Lauren. That is a tough

race. 800 last night and then the 400 gold. A tough way round to

delete. A great silver for Jazz Carlin to

add to the gold she won on the 800 last night. A wonderful Scottish

record for Hannah Miley. That is tough, 801 and 400 the next

day. Yes, I could really feel the 800 this morning. But another

medal, a silver medal. I wanted the goal but I will take the silver.

Perhaps Lauren got herself to bed a bit earlier than you'd is. You had

to enjoy your success. I had to do a drugs test and then I had dinner

quite late. I could not ask for a better reception here. I seemed to

finish on a high. A silver medal, I cannot complain. What are you going

to do about training men? It is a bit in the air for you. I'm not too

sure. I have to look at it over the next few months. It will be a tough

decision. I just want to move forward on the way to Rio. Here are

the big boys. The fastest men in water in the Commonwealth. Adam

Brown could medal if he does a lifetime best. Roland Schoeman,

silver four years ago. The sky, George Bovell, -- this guy, a very

good sprinter. And the next guy out, Benjamin proud, he destroyed them

all in the semifinal. His strength and power for one so

young, just awesome. Keep an eye out for that. Here is Matthew Abood who

stepped up oil in the semifinals. -- well. James Magnussen, he struts

around, a real peacock. And right at the end, Radley Tandy, not many

people have heard of him, but he warned that the American University

championship, which is very difficult to do.

Benjamin proud made it through as fastest qualifier, but he has

Australians all over him like a rash. Hopefully he will come

through. There are Mac of, the second fastest

seed after the heat. -- there is McAvoy.

A very quick start. Proud using a lot of the 15 metres underwater.

Very good indeed, concentrating on the process, head down. But the

Australians in two and five, has he got it? He has! A massive scalp, an

enormous thing to do. To come and take the gold in the 50 freestyle,

in this cauldron in Scotland, what a huge scalp. Proud, of England.

England have dominated. Fran Halsall got the double, proud now has a

double. And look at the start. His reaction to the gun. His arms are

showing in the middle. Just a great hole in the water towards the end.

Just showing in off, perfect finish. -- showing enough. You want to be

leaning forward at the end. They will have a good battle over the

next two Commonwealth Games. At least. That is just massive for

us. Look at the size of that guy, just 19 years old. We have never had

a great sprinter at Olympic Games. To go and do it like that is just

stunning. How sensational. A double from Fran

Halsall, and now one from you. It has been great.

Did you expect that before you came here?

After last night, well, it is a tough field. I am really happy with

that. You have taken serious scalps.

It is great to race against them. It just hit me, these guys have been

around for ages. You have the ability to stay calm.

Towards the end you are getting faster, whereas other sprinters were

just hanging on. You and John obviously have a fantastic

partnership. IM tensing up, and if, but as soon

as you dive in, it takes over. They will be cheering in Plymouth. Well

done. Let's have a reaction to that Sprint

double. That was huge. He did it in the

semifinal but the pressure is on in the final. It is very easy to over

slip and over rev, but what a performance, and that was a big

field. What is the record for England?

I don't actually know. He is trying to find out. But I

think we are definitely getting close.

And a great performance from Jazz also, and Hannah Miley, a three

second personal best, in her seventh event!

Let's go to Andy Jamison for the medal ceremony.

The bronze goes to Australia, Bront? Barrett. What a race that was. Very

tough indeed to come back after last night, she set history last night,

we have waited 40 years for a Welsh woman to win gold in the swimming

pool and she did it in emphatic style. Now a silver. Jazz: Of Wales.

-- Jazz Carlin. Boyle had that little bit more on

the day. Fantastic to see. Laura and Boyle, New Zealand's first ever

champion in this event. -- Lauren. Gold in the 400 metres freestyle.

Sophie Pascoe took their previous gold medal in the para event. But

she must be utterly delighted with a very good swim. Made a big move at

the 250 mark, and that is where she wanted. -- won it. NEW ZEALAND

NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS. 26-year-old, Lauren Boyle, taking

the gold medal. Jazz: -- Carlin has a gold and silver. We will keep an

eye on her in the distance races. A random fact, if you were wondering

about the music at the beginning of the medal ceremony, it was specially

composed for these Commonwealth Games. A really beautiful piece of

music you hear just before they come out before the introductions. New

Zealand, Canada, Australia, England, Wales, Scotland, always gold

medals, and so now also South Africa. -- all winning. And Bert is

with us now. What a reception you got.

The people in Scotland have been unbelievable, really.

Do you see what we have done here? Like when Chad finishes his races,

we have made him look like Chad! How happy are you so far with Chad's

performances? He could win more medals tonight.

I am sure he is happy. Although he never really is, he applies pressure

to himself. But we are over the moon. We came to see him swim, and

he has done that. Have you got his gold medal though?

But I gave it back to him! This is the moment. It was rather lovely.

You don't often see gold-medallist to give their medals away to

anybody. This is very romantic. And here are

your other boys, Jordan and Justin. He is a beautiful boy, isn't it? He

is! In fact, I think he is getting more beautiful. The whole thing is!

It is unbelievable! And how are you, generally?

It is a cliche to say, unbelievable, but it has been a whirlwind, really.

They treat me like a superstar. I cannot believe it. The people do not

treat me like an ordinary South African. I don't know, maybe it is

because of the Games. Maybe they are always like this.

And in a funny way it helped Chad take the pressure off, they are at

having all the media attention! Messi the other day when Chad won

the race, it was used tiny autographs in the stands! -- it was

you signing autographs. Just a terrific Commonwealth Games

the Jazz Carlin. We wish you well this evening in the final two

events. Who have you got into night? The whole family. Did you have a

chance... You know that Prince William and Prince Harry were here

yesterday? Did you get introduced? I did not. That is the challenge you

have left, I think. I have to meet them. Thanks, ladies. Scotland! Yes.

Thank you very much. It just adds to the whole delight of swimming, and

it is lovely to see Chad here. Thank you. It is lovely to see Chad here

swimming so well because having come in under the radar, as one always

says about new, young talent, not a lot of attention on him in London

2012. Suddenly, now, is the equivalent of Michael Phelps, and

he's responding really well. We will see Chad in action. He has the 200

individual medley coming up after this, which is the women's 50m

backstroke. Actor Andy. -- back to Andy.

COMMENTATOR: The final of the women's 50m backstroke.

Snodgrass got a lifetime best in qualifying. This is going to be

interesting. Biggin could win it. Yes, and it would be good for her to

get a medal anyway. -- Quigley. George Davison in the fastest lane

sets a Commonwealth record and British record to qualify for the

final. Lizzie Simmonds is right on the outside. Let's hope she can

concentrate on this. Probably a bit sort from a great 200 earlier. Right

in the centre, I think the medals will go to three, four and five. 11

one hundredths of a second split those three.

George Davies has seen her team-mate get a medal.

The final of the women's 50m backstroke. The fastest swimmer in

the Commonwealth right in the centre.

Davies has had a very good start. Simmons going well for England as

well. Davis gets the gold. Quigley gets

the silver. The wonderful swim from her. And is not -- and Snodgrass of

Canada bronze. Brilliant. Two gold medals for Wales. That is a

brilliant swim for Georgia Davis. To walk out against Emily Seebohm and

get that medal, I am so pleased for her.

27 .56, a new British record for Georgia Davis. She's only just

outside the common wealth record, 27.51. A record for Lauren Quigley

as well. British, Welsh, English records. Super swimming for Wales

again. Two gold medals in two nights. We waited 40 years and

suddenly two come along in two nights. Snodgrass gets the bronze by

the 100th. Great for the 16-year-old from Scotland to get in fifth place.

You know what they say, a bus doesn't come along and then we get

two. I am so happy. The two of us have been battling away against each

other all year. We have gone abroad and we are in the lane next to each

other, and now we can stand on the podium next to each other. A British

record, but in English record as well. I note you be disappointed

earlier in the week. Yes. To finish on a medal, I couldn't ask for more.

With Georgia next to me it is an honour. Wales are obviously jumping

in the streets at home. What next for you? I'm doing Europeans so back

to training, back in Loughborough tomorrow. And then maybe a little

break but I don't want to stop swimming now, because I just want

the fast times to keep coming. The frustrating things a little bit is

that the 50m Patrick is not in the Olympics programme, so you will have

to go for the 100. -- 50m backstroke. Yes, hopefully in two

years time I will be there in Rio. Frankie.

Brilliant, and so important. I am back. You are, in bird's seat.

Particularly in sprinting, important to have someone pushing you on, but

you are competing with strongly. If you have no one competitively to

race, you have no one to push you and when it comes to any domestic

competition new online. Then when you come up against international

competition you freak out. So it is important that the more people we

have been those events, they push each other on. That is why we have

such a good standard of stroke. That is why historically with wacky,

going back over the years, Jackie Willmott and... I think the

interesting thing from Georgia and Lauren there, they smashed those

records, and thus another gold medal for Wales as well, which means the

much to her. Ben pride will get his medal, the ninth for England. The

record is ten in the pools in Manchester. Nature athletics.

Another full has here at Hampden for an evening of athletics. The first

final tonight is the women's ten K. Let's join our commentators.

The women's 10,000 metres final. The three Kenyan athletes have pulled

away from a resolute British battle that has taken place between Beth

Potter of Scotland and Kate of England.

Kate Avery just behind Potter, trying to hang onto her. Potter led

the race for period until the Kenyans really got moving. Kiplagat

is the Kenyan champion. She is on the shoulder of Chebet, who finished

third in the Kenyan Championships. They have now got to contest their

own private battle. The Apple for fourth and fifth, Kate Avery has

closed down on Beth. The crowd really has cheered them on. Beth's

spell at the front really lifted the Hampden crowd. Avery getting ready

to make her move as they come down into the finishing straight. The

Kenyans are approaching two laps to go. Two world cross-country

champions in first and second place. This is a different kind of race.

This is a sprinters' race now. Kiplagat would have been the

favourite going in here. She is the fastest here. But the race isn't

sorted. The three medals, the rostrum, the podium, we know who is

going to be on that. Which order, you would not like to bet at this

moment. Before the race, you would have said Kiplagat. Now it is not so

sure. Just over 600m to go for the three Kenyans. Kiplagat probably the

stronger, but is she the quickest? Chepkirui on the outside has good

1500m pace. More recent 1500m pace. Kate Avery, I saw her run a 1500

recently before she knew she was into contest this. Look at Beth

Potter. She is saying, no, I want to be the first British athlete home

here. The crowd love that. They are watching that race as well as the

race for gold, silver and bronze. They are approaching the belt.

Kiplagat is looking at the screen. She knows she has company. Where is

the sprinter among these three? They are all three class distance

runners. They all run fast times on the country, on the roads, on the

track. We are not sure about this. Who is the sprinter here? Who has

the pace over the last part? Kiplagat looks like she is trying to

control it but it looks like we're going to see an explosion of speed

here. They are not going to run together. You would not dare trust

rat. Duplicate is concentrating on the screen. She should concentrate

on the race. There she goes. -- Kiplagat looks at the screen.

Running wide round the bend. Once to make her team-mate go outside her.

Chepkirui, has she got anything left in the home straight? Who will get

the gold? Kiplagat running hard. Chepkirui might have the chance.

Chepkirui gets the gold! Kiplagat also self over the line in vain. It

is the Kenyan 1-2-3. Beth Potter stretching away from Kate Avery.

They are having their own race here. Kate Avery picks it up again. Oh!

Well, smiles from the two of them. These two have raced each other

through their junior careers so much. They know each other so well.

Contesting as hard as they can. I think they both have run a personal

best, or close to a personal best. We will get the official times. I am

not even sure who is fourth. They are looking up. It has been given to

Kate Avery of England. She finished fourth. Beth Potter takes fifth

place. Both of them running personal bests.

Our guest is Denise Lewis set the trend last night with her green

trousers and nine Paula has the message. And Michael Johnston did

not get the colour metal at all. -- colour memo. A massive race. Not

huge strength and depth. The Kenyans made it look like a walk in the park

but that wonderful battle going on there, let's talk about that first,

between Avery and Potter. Great to see. At the end we were all rooting

for Beth Potter to hang on because she hadn't been brave enough earlier

in the race to take it on. -- she had been brave enough earlier in the

race to take it on, and that was a big step for her. She got a great

reaction in the stadium. Nice to see them both at the end. Kate managed

to keep her on the line but they both came out with personal bests. I

am sure they relished the race. What an amazing reaction Beth Potter got

there. We were going, no, do not do it on the line! Have we got the

official result yet? A great finish. No room for friendship in sport.

Michael, the reaction, the reception and the packed crowds? Yes, they are

proud to host these games. They have put on a great show. Everyone is so

friendly and welcoming. It has just been a fantastic opportunity for all

of these athletes because we keep hearing everyone say the crowd has

been so great. The Kenyans did have their own little battle going on and

as easy as they made it look, it is always wonderful to see them race to

the line, because that is why they are the champions they are. They

would have come into this with two agendas, a Queen sweep of medals,

they knew they were going to do that, and once they have made sure,

then there was a lot of pride and ego at stake here. Kiplagat will not

be happy that Chepkirui got her on the line, because she has paced for

it in a They are running a marathon pace.

They really were finishing fast and that is why we saw gaps open up in

the last couple of kilometres when they put the foot to the floor. But

great to see death take on that pace and say, you are not having all your

own way. -- Beth. We will be back with more finals and

Craig action for you later. But let's head back to clear.

We have two English swimmers, one from Scotland, one from Wales. Who

has the best chance? Dan Wallace looked incredible this

morning and I really hope they can do it. It could be Chad Le Clos, but

do not forget Fraser Holmes in lane eight.

Joe Roebuck, a very interesting lane assignment for him, number two,

right next to Chad Le Clos. Chad is in one. Fraser Holmes is out in

eight. Dan Wallace, nobody will write him off a second. There is

Sebastien Rousseau, team-mate of Wallace out in Florida. And look at

this! Fantastic! Massive of -- ovation as he comes out in his

kilt. Cornwallis, -- and the Wallace, won

the 400 medley. He is all excited. The starter waiting for quiet.

Daniel Wallace should not really do that and I hope the starter has a

good sense of humour. The final of the men's 200 metres

individual medley. One of the hardest races to call. The world

champion and the 100 and 200 fly, look how quick he is going out. Chad

Le Clos, and outstanding lead he will take into the backstroke. He is

0.64 underneath the world record split. Right now, Chad Le Clos in

the lead. His backstroke is very good, but his

breaststroke is not. Interesting to see how much they catch up. Daniel

Wallace is in last place but his strength is the rest/. --

breaststroke. Rousseau, second, and now comes in Wallace. He is eating

up the field! Coming through so strong, and the crowd are going not.

-- nuts. Tranter, first to the term. It looks like it is Tranter at the

moment. You can just see Chad Le Clos. Wallace is coming back and

will not give up on the silver medal. He may get it. He has got it!

Wonderful from Wallace. Goodness me, from last place to second! The

bronze has gone to Chad Le Clos opt the top. And look at that! Tranter,

the Australian team, and the crowd, that was a fantastic swim. He was

the only man able to hold off Wallace. He retired from swimming in

2011 after getting ill and came back after three months, thinking, I

missed it, and he has got a gold medal.

Let's not forget that Wallace got the gold and the 400, not a bad

haul. Chad Le Clos, giving it everything opt opt, but Tranter,

Braveheart in Australia! -- giving it everything up top.

What a wonderful swim. Goodness me. A new games record for Daniel

Tranter, a super silver for Wallace of Scotland, and the bronze going to

Chad Le Clos. The crowd have been absolutely

flawless. I will never forget that moment, walking out in my kilt. If

somebody said to you, a gold and a silver, you would have taken that.

If you told me I would win both a gold and a silver I would have

called you a liar. It has been a fantastic week. Now back to the

States? I will spend two weeks enjoying myself in Scotland then get

back over to start hard work again. I am sure there will be some family

dinners. I just want to say hello to all my brothers and sisters. I love

you all. I do it for them. They are very proud of you. Well done.

Family, very important to him, and this is his father, Derek. He cannot

look! What a performance from Wallace, he came out in the kilt, he

gave the full works, and you need to perform when you do that, and he

did. And that was the response of his friends and family when the

silver was confirmed. Before that, England took a gold medal with

Benjamin Proud, he is the future. So many teenagers winning medals.

What a class act. We saw Fran Halsall earlier in the week take a

double, now this, absolutely incredible.

And McAvoy and Magnussen, big names to beat. Big, big names. That is

mightily impressive. We are proud of him. Tonight on the

highlights I will be joined by many of our swimmers. But let's hand back

to Gabby. It is the last night of swimming.

Right here, it is the multi-event in focus, decathletes and athletes. --

heptathletes. Ashley Bryant. Seven metres 56. This

man might spoil the English party. A little rattled. That has been a very

good day's work. Damian Warner, a long way clear. That is very

significant, a huge personal best. Putting a bit more pressure on

himself with that last failure. This event is now his to lose.

So, the standings after eight events:

a lead for Damian Warner which does not look as if it will be caught.

The English guys doing all right. We will talk about it in a moment. But

we will first go outside. There is a medal presentation about to happen,

and Adam Gemili is about to receive his silver medal, which she claimed

last night with a brilliant run in the 100 metres final. The joy has

not left his face. It was a tight dip to the line. That smile will not

have left him for 24 hours. He probably did not sleep last

night. We met his mother who was beside herself, full of emotion, so

proud. And rightly so. A first senior medal, brilliant.

Of course, it will be the Jamaican national anthem that we here.

Bailey-Cole took the gold for Jamaica. But what we said before the

race was Bailey-Cole would have to penetrate the trio of Jamaican

runners. They are without their leader, Usain Bolt, and he did very

well to split them up. Absolutely. The Jamaicans are very confident

right now, all the way down through the ranks and we saw that with

Bailey-Cole, so those guys came here and they come here now with this

attitude of, we're not supposed to be beaten. We're Jamaicans. For

Gemili to get in there was a great encouragement.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Kemar Bailey-Cole, winner of the 100m last

night. Generally receiving his silver

medal, his first at senior level, and it will spur him on, we hope.

200m in the European Championships. That was his decision, to not run

both offensive both championships. The right decision? Welcomer he will

have to get some sleep because he has got the men's four x 100m relay

in a few days time. He is such a great character. He is such a great

character. I remember when I received my first Commonwealth

middle. It is such a big deal. He is going to lap it up. Of course, two

years ago, he made the decision he would give running a go and see how

he got on. He qualified for the Olympics. I spoke to him but earlier

this year and he said he did not realise at the time what a big deal

that was. People were saying, well done, you have come down to the

British Championships and qualified for the Olympics. He says he now

gets it why it was so incredible at the time, the decision to no longer

play football, which was his first sport, and all three of you will

like this, he said, nobody realises how hard athletics is. I was trained

to be a professional footballer. Athletics is the business. It is

tough. We have to train hard, it is also a great sport. A reason why

Adam is such an inspiration to so many young kids is he tried all

different Adam is such an inspiration to so

many young kids sports and chose the one that lit that passion in his

heart and in which he was one that lit that passion in his

heart and in which prepared to invest the most preparation and the

hardest training. Absolutely, and that is what multisport events like

the Commonwealth Games are so brilliant at doing, introducing a

wide range of sports kids. What a great foundation athletics is the

same many sports. Absolutely. Just the fact he tried different sports,

because what we are seeing now is that kids are specialising so early.

Too early? Absolutely. Two things happen, you missed out on the

athletic element you get by playing multiple sports that also you may

not find your real sport, the when you are truly passionate about. Some

athletes are greedy and cannot pick for one so they go for ten. They are

the deck athletes. Tonight we have the javelin and the final event, the

1500m. They are already under way in the javelin. Let's find out how they

are doing. COMMENTATOR: Yes, a little look back

here to what we saw earlier. The penultimate event of the decathlon

split into two groups. Warner has led from the beginning.

This was his best throw, solid enough to retain the lead. Very

close to the line there with his feet, but solid technique. And the

bronze medallist from the World Championships last year looks as

though set fair. Look at his feet, very close the line. It looks as

though gold is close by. John Lane has been fantastic. However, this is

his weakest event. Second round here. Second place after the pole

vault. A very short approach, quite simple,

just keeping it basic. A lifetime best coming into this was 51 metres.

Hat off to John Lane. It looks as though he might have just bettered

that. It probably won't be enough to keep him in contention for the

medals, I'm saying with a wince, because he feels he deserves it.

52.25 metres was a personal best for John. Now onto the track again for

the men's 400m semifinals. Three races, the first two and three

fastest losers make qualification. Rooney of England will be have

delivered -- will have to be very much at his best.

A new name from Granada. 22 years of age. Then the veteran. Forth in the

Olympics. You would not expect the Canadian to

figure too much. Inside him, Mitchell Davis from Dominica.

Another youngster, 22 years of age. Outside of Mark Rooney, another

three men who have got a chance with Rooney of getting into the top two.

Solomon of Trinidad and Tobago. Seribe of Botswana and McDonald's of

Jamaica. Chris Brown has been having another

fantastic season at the age of 35. Second in the Glasgow Diamond league

here a couple of weeks ago. In that race, Rooney was behind him, in

fifth place. I'm interested in watching them at three of Botswana

as well. See what he can do here. Solomon of Trinidad and debate

recently run under 45 seconds. He's in the red outside Martyn Rooney.

Solomon starts quickly in Game six. Rooney needs not to panic but he has

to get in early. Has Solomon gone a bit too quick

here? Rooney has to be strong around this top bend.

Chris Brown comes through, Taplin comes through. Look at Mark Rooney!

This is the sort of rent we have been wanting for Mark Rooney!

Gliding through. 45.23. That is more like it. All of the talent that we

saw in the Commonwealth Games all those years ago in 2006. It's going

to be tough. He will be up against James in the final, I'm sure. He is

in the next semifinal. A tough semi for Rooney. A good performance.

Hamstring problems, all the injury problems in the past. He is a tall

man. He is a tall man. He's towering over the rest. He ran 45.03 a few

weeks back and we thought this was him getting back to his best. A wave

of noise from the hand Park crowd. Looking around a little bit. This

was such an impressive run from Martyn Rooney. Not only qualifying

but saying, I am a big contender for the final. The accusation thrown at

Rooney sometimes is that he can be a little bit lazy in terms of the

first 200m, and leads to much to do. In his early career he had a lot of

success coming through later in races but if you want to develop you

have to commit a little bit more. He's just judging this race,

educating his race better. This top bend was good. He could feel Taplin

coming and Chris Brown coming. He did not panic. Now he is strong.

This is what Rooney can do. If he's in contention... He's looking

across, this relaxed. He knows he's going to qualify and this is exactly

what he needs. This is one of the highest quality events in the

Commonwealth Games and that was a top-quality performance from Rooney.

Steve Cram calling it a top-quality performance. Yes, it was about

staying relaxed and working hard coming around the bend. I was happy

to execute it today. I felt confident and it showed. It

certainly did. When you're on the start line, do you have a very

specific plan you want to stick to? Do you go but how the body feels

when you come off the start line? I have always had a plan, so at the

moment I was just like, let's get round and enjoy it. I have to make

sure I'm strong commitment district. That is my big strength. -- have to

make strong coming down the home straight. That was the main thing. I

was quite invest with myself! We have seen those sub 45 runs from you

before, seen you in major finals before including the Olympics. Do

you feel you are getting back to that position again crushed Yes. My

time was very average but it was enough. All the best for the final.

Thank you. What did you make of that, Michael?

He could have run quicker. He starts looking around and he does keep

himself safe, then goes a bit further and stopped to shut it down.

You want to save all the energy you can for the final. In addition to

his execution, which was very good on this race, he did get out well in

the first 200m and then the keypad was 200 to two veg and 50m, where he

backed off a little bit. It was a really good position to have the

strong finish that he knows he has in him. You cannot run a fast 200

and then follow it up with a really good finish unless you take a little

bit of a break somewhere and he knew that. In addition to all of that,

what I see attitude. I noticed it after the first round, his attitude

is much different to we have seen in the past. A lot more and focused. He

has a lot more belief in his talent. I have the talent, I should be

there. That time, he said, was not that fast. He has to get that

attitude. In the last couple of years, when he was not getting the

best of himself, he seemed to be more emotional and fragile. You did

not sense he really believed in himself. You can tell a lot from

athletes' interviews. With him, it is his frankness. It is brilliant to

see the is his frankness. It is brilliant to

see maturity and that is what sometimes injury does. It makes you

take a new perspective on your sport. Almost time for the second

semifinal. Michael Bingham of England. James before that, the

Olympic champion. He was beaten in the World Championships last year by

Sean merit but he is not here in Glasgow. Let's find out how he kept

on in the semifinal, with Andrew Cotter.

Barnaby goes for Canada, the Canadian champion in lane three.

Here is Kirani James, his dramatic folding in Moscow last year, well, I

think that's forgotten now. He's been very, very impressive this

season. Let us not forget he was an 18-year-old champion, then the

Olympic champion. Outside him Michael Bingham goes.

Two go through automatically. Away they go. A few flash bulbs

crackle in the Glasgow evening. Fairly even at the moment. Then

Kirani James, watch him with that leaning forward, lowing style,

devouring the back straight. Michael Bingham holding him off at the

moment. The man making the biggest impact is Van Niekerk, the South

African, in lane two. He's getting up alongside James. Will James start

to turn it on? Bingham running well. Van Niekerk setting the pace. James

just starting to force his way back into it to assert his authority.

Also running well, Quow of Trinidad and Tobago. Kirani James now able to

look around. Running strongly. Kirani James with Van Niekerk, who

holds on, then Quow and Bingham run out of it for the automatic places

two. Fastest losers will go through over the races. A tough heat for

Michael Bingham not just because Kirani James in that but Quow coming

back into good form. One of the finds of the season, he's not

running quite as well as he was earlier on. I saw Van Niekerk run

against Leshawn Merritt and give him a square. He's got good pace. Look

at James, looking around, just jogging down the home straight here.

Van Niekerk in lane two, just trying to maintain. At least he doesn't

look across. He concentrates on running to the line. Quow doesn't

quite catch him. He looks across, but the South African takes second

behind a very easy Kirani James I wonder who Michael Johnson thought

of that, pretty impressive? Yeah, it was impressive. This is about what

we expected from James. He's the class of the field. He's a fantastic

athlete, sub-44-second 400 metre runner At some point he has to start

develop power. He has great endurance he's very strong. He has

the long stride, but he doesn't have power. I wonder if he's ever going

to get that or develop that with his coach. I believe he could be a world

record holder in the likes of Butch Reynolds, who held the record before

I broke it. You see this long, lowing stride, opening up his leg

here, you see he's opening up and reaching with the stride. He gets

more ground per step, but not as much power. Power equals speed. He's

a sub-44 second 400m runner. He could be a world record holder As

the world record holder I would like to see somebody break it someday. I

know it sounds strange. I love this kid because he's such a fantastic

athlete. I think his chances here, I don't think anyone going to be able

to get close to him. He's already ran under 44 seconds this year. I

don't see anyone able to stay with him. Long, lowing stride, again, not

power. That's just covering a lot of distance. He's about 6'3", very tall

and rangy. A little bit ragged sometimes at the end of the race.

Here he's holding it together. But this is another problem he's had in

some other races in the past. We shall see if anyone can push him

close in the final. Medal. Only the 1500 metres to go.

He's gone ahead of Lane in that throw. Felix similar throw in the

first round. Good commitment there. Just collapsed slightly on the left

side. The only thing to hurt now is the 1500 metres. He might need the

best of your life if you want a Silver Medal. Warren looks as though

-- Warner looks as though gold is wrapped up. This is the heptathlon.

This is the favourite to Take this title.

The only real contender is Zelinka. She pushes off the left foot and

switches feet. Many thought that Zelinka might go

into the lead overnight. She is a better shot putter.

That looks about the same as Theisen-Eaton. She's having a pretty

solid first day. She's a 50-metre shot putter at her best. She's shy

of that. It looks as though the battle is

going to be between the two Canadians though.

We move on to the third and final semifinal. Levine going for England

in this, though his chances of getting through here are slim, let's

say. Michael Robertson of Canada in lane one. Nigel would have to run

much better than he has been running so far this season and better than

he did to qualify as the fastest loser for this semifinal. Outside

him Makwala. Only quauny James has -- Kirani James has run quicker than

him. Quick look at Makwala there. He has

great 200 metre pace as well. He's now the Botswanan record holder, the

African record holding at Makwala. Williams has gone off

quickly. Gordon from Trinidad and Tobago, trying to stay with the

pace. George is outside him in lane six. Solomon, the young Australian,

lane seven, he pulls up. Levine going quite well in lane two. The

race is happening ahead of him. Makwala now asserting his authority

into the home straight. Followed by Williams. Gordon has to do work here

to get here. Makwala working quite hard. Here they come, Gordon, the

Olympic bronze medallist storming through. Makwala with a time of 45.

37 might not have qualified for the final. We'll wait for that to come

up. He went hard around the top bend for me. Looked as though he was

going to move away in the home straight. He's been doing well all

season. The fastest loser times, before this race were 45. 47 for

Quow, 45. 55 for Brown and that means that Makwala is out. Times

have come up on the board by 0. 002 he cannot make it through as the

fastest loser. Here he looked to be in control, in

a fine position off the bend. But just didn't have it over the final

80 metres or so. Instead, just outside him Williams and Gordon, it

was a fantastic finish. He was looking around, starting to panic a

bit. He had nothing else to give. That time will not see him through.

It is those two who go through automatically. I'm interested on

Michael Johnson's view, did he overtook that round the bend?

MICHAEL JOHNSON: At about 180 metres into the race, he didn't really get

out that hard and didn't realise that he had work to do. I believe

so, just starting at about 180 metres, he turned it on. You can

turn it on, if you feel that you didn't do what you needed to do in

the first part of the race, but you have to be a little bit smoother

with it. You can see now, he's giving a lot of effort around the

bend. It started before this. He's positioned himself well, now, coming

off this bend. But he, you know, whatever you do in the beginning of

the race, it's going to take its toll at end of the race. It starts

to take its toll much later. Gordon was always going to - in the red,

tall figure, bronze medallist from the Olympics - he was always going

to be coming strong at the end. But, Steve, I think you said something

earlier in the week, sometimes when the athletes run really fast times

at home, you put a red flag by that. He ran his 44 seconds and the 19

seconds at home earlier this year. I'm not sure he's ever going to be

able to live up to those times again. There's Levine, always was

going to be tough for him. This was a tough heat from the very

beginning. I'm just not sure that he has the speed for this event. He's

got great technique, as you can see there. That's a plus for the 400m

because efficiency is extremely important when you're sprinting for

400m. If you can tell, it looks like he's running the same speed the

entire time, you haven't seen any differences here. That's a problem.

If you can't turn it on and have that burst of acceleration, when you

need it, then it's always going to be tough for you, for the 400m.

Nigel Levine finished in fifth place. 46. 57. Let's tidy that up:

Let's look at the eight men who will contest the final:

With Makwala gone now, yes Gordon is coming back into form. Van Niekerk

is a new name, Rooney. He'll be thinking he has a chance here of a

medal. Should do as well. Triple jump. Laura Samuel of

England. A world junior Silver Medallist in the past. Wow, that's

big. Laura Samuel came into this

competition with a lifetime best of 13. 75. I think she's just smashed

that. This is the second round. Good

balance through the hop there, like that. Get out of the step well. Kept

her speed through the transition. She looks pleased with that. Look at

that! A lifetime best. Alexander looks as though she's

similar. This was a look back actually. This is what happened

earlier. 14. 15 is her best. Commonwealth Silver Medallist. Very

excited though for Laura Samuel. What a wonderful performance.

Alexander shy of the best of Laura Samuel.

That left Kimberly Williams. This is the pre-event favourite, a

huge medal favourite. She saved her best to the last

round. So three jumps beyond 14 metres.

And that actually did conclude the competition. Laura Samuel then with

that jump from earlier was a Silver Medallist. Fantastic stuff. We just

the gold medallist, Williams. Williams, 14.59 this year. Shy of

that. Didn't need anywhere near best. 14.21. Gold for Jamaica. So

confirmation, there, that silver medal for Laura Samuel. The personal

best. First time ever be on 40 metres, but called for Kimberly

Williams of Jamaica. That is what you want, a huge

Williams of Jamaica. That is what you lifetime best on

the biggest stage of your career, and Laura did that to claim the

silver medal. It is one that got him hollering, Denise. Yes, it is my

former club, Birchfield Harriers. You want athletes coming into these

championships raising their game and she has done it. A personal best,

very surprising, and it's brilliant. The Jamaican was the absolute

favourite going into it but it was quite open belief about, and there

for the taking. Be standard in triple jumping has not been very

good this year. One or two athletes, but you can only compete with the

competition you have, and you have to seize the opportunities when they

are there, and they have done that. It was this stage where one of your

big first Commonwealth medals came, Paula. It can inspire you. Seeing

somebody like Laura go out there and perform like that today it will

inspire so many others watching back in the Village and also inspire kids

at home to go out and try it. Can you be a Commonwealth medallist?

STUDIO: Weldon to the winner, Williams of Jamaica, and a brilliant

silver for England. Next on the track is the women's

400m, an event we have seen so many brilliant jewels in over the years

between Montsho and our own Christine Ohuruogu. She's not here

this time. She is having an easier year. Last year was definitely not

that. She was having the form of her life and produced one of the

finishes of any race anywhere. I never get tired of seeing this. You

are willing Montsho to run, look around you, but he would not change

the result. Christine, new British record, new personal best, and one

of the best performances I've seen from her. Just grit, determination,

after setbacks and a great ambassador for our sport. She is

here with the relay but there is Montsho, running as an individual in

this event. Not quite at her very best this year, understandably. Yes,

and I would expect that this year she would want to come back and make

sure she secures an number one world ranking. I'm not sure if maybe she

had some setbacks or something this year. She will have a tough time.

She is in Lane 6 and all three of the Jamaicans are lined up behind

her and they have been having a fantastic championships so far.

Christine Davies having a great Championships. She has been

phenomenal throughout the round. I think that they have got a little

bit to say. I think they have heard about Montsho and what happened last

year. And what she is trying to do here at these championships. They

have something to say about it. A strong field. Andrew Cotter is your

commentator. COMMENTATOR: Kelly Massey from England. Then this trio

from Jamaica. Christine Day, Novlene Williams-Mills useful. Stephanie

McPherson. And then the reigning champion Amantle Montsho from

Botswana. Abugan from Nigeria. We thought some of her team-mates might

make it through that she's on her own. And Alexander from St Vincent

and the Grenadines. We didn't need a standard-bearer for that small

country for a few years now. There is Kelly Massey. A hard road to get

here. She had to find a good personal best to fight her way

through. A wonderful stage for this Sale Harrier.

Away they go and here comes the noise from Hampton. But I'm not

sure, as Michael Johnson was saying, she is blind to the Jamaicans who

will hunt her down. There is that wave of yellow shirts

chasing her down the back straight. Surely between these two unless

McPherson gets here as well. Stephanie McPherson coming through.

She is the Commonwealth champion! Day for bronze. Williams-Mills

second. The champion is Stephanie McPherson, who timed it to

perfection. We were having a discussion, not sure you were part

of it, Andrew, this afternoon, and quite a few of us thought this young

lady could win the gold medal but it was all about judging it right. If

you wind the clock back all the way to 2007, Notley Williams-Mills

attack so hard and was run down by Christine Ohuruogu in the World

Championship final. I think she is someone here because Montsho is

outside and Montsho went out like the old Amantle Montsho, that this

is not the old Amantle Montsho. She has not been so involved this year.

Attacking so hard in the first 200m. She takes Williams-Mills with her.

And then watch McPherson in Lane 3. Does not panic. Day did not get

going through the first 200 but she is just running her own race. You

can see the two of them right there but she's not panicking. She knows

she comes into the home straight, she's in tracking distance. As

Montsho starts to fade, the question is, can not been Williams-Mills hang

on here? Look at her knee lift, it is dropping, dropping, dropping. In

contrast to McPherson. She powers her way through. And that was a

great race and a well judged race from the first. Look at that on the

line. Almost doing a Christine Ohuruogu to the three Jamaicans.

Michael Johnson took us through this one. It is a difficult situation and

you have to make the decision beforehand, what kind of race and my

going to run with all the competition behind me? She decided,

I'm going to take it out and make them come get me. She's not in that

type of shape. Surprising for me is Notley Williams-Mills, the

Championship runner, decided to go with her. I looked it over at it

from the start and knew she was not going to keep the pace. You see the

athletes behind her running a sensible pace and we have said it

before, what happens on the front of the race takes its toll on the end

of the race. McPherson having run a very sensible race, she got out well

and ran her race and let the others do what they were doing, came to her

own race strategy and it was her victory. And I also thought that she

may be a threat for goals here. Very poised. She is young, and she has

got a lot of talent here. Very poised, very relaxed. If we had a

shot of the other two they would not look like this. Montsho and

Williams-Mills, about 40 metres from the finish line, started to tighten

up. You saw it on both their faces. It took too much out of them from

the front of the race. Montsho a game just got on the back stretch. A

ridiculous pace and she was never going to be able to keep it.

Williams-Mills, Montsho, both grimacing, both feeling the pain at

this point. And just not going to be able to keep this pace, and now the

celebration is happening rapidly for those two. And again, Montsho does

not really get a good lead like last year. Last year it cost her a god.

This time it cost her a medal. -- it cost her the gold. McPherson was

fourth in the World Championships in Moscow last year but here she has a

-- she heads a Jamaican 1-2-3. We have become used to seeing Jamaican

1-2-3s. Here the Jamaicans and it again. -- dominate a game.

You think there is only one way to skin that cat and as we have seen so

many times with Christine and the way she approaches the race, and we

saw there four different ways to try to win that race and in the end it

was the patient, considered runner who came through. Yes. And at the

end of the day, you have got to decide... It is a lactic acid

build-up event. If you go out to hard you will pay the price. But I'm

really disappointed and gutted for nothing Williams-Mills -- for

Williams-Mills because she has been searching for that gold-medal. The

opportunity is not going to be coming around often for her. We

expected better from her. Also for Montsho. Just hasn't got the facts

speak she needs. She was obviously rundown in the last part of the

race. -- obviously hasn't got the flat speed she needs. When will she

learn? I think she was giving it everything she had. But the lactic

acid, she was holding on and holding on. Maybe she could have dipped a

bit more, could she, Michael? Maybe she was so tired and had nothing

left at the end. She went out way too hard. There was just nothing

left in the end. You would think that the experience she can got over

that distance, to lose her head and go out about speed, knowing the

condition she is in, it shows you the then getting too much for you.

When everyone is behind you, you try to take them out of their race by

really giving out at that sort of pace. I think she got caught up in

the emotion of it all and just felt like, well,

the emotion of it all and just felt like, I'm Superwoman, I'm going to

be able to just continue this pace and they will have to come get me.

And they did. They did. The great race. We will move on. A world now

to the 110 meter hurdles final. Will Lawrence Clarke at his name to the

list of fabulous men who have won this over the generations?

COMMENTATOR: Henry now, all the way. Henry wins. Henry wins. Two got

medals. Jackson flying into the first hurdle. Jackson getting away.

And look at this. New European and Commonwealth record to the peerless

Prince of Wales. If you make a superb demonstration by COLIN

JACKSON:. He's the Commonwealth champion. Jarrett is coming away.

And Brown is going to get him. That is close. Jarrett 's got it. Andy

Turner is streaking away. He's the champion. GABBY LOGAN: A rich source

of medals for the home nations. Andy Turner crashed out this morning,

desperately disappointed with his performance here. Here's what

happened to Andy Turner this morning.

The defending champion, he said he came in, felt good. He said he felt

in good form. Afterwards, understandably distraught. He said

it's schoolboy running. Yeah, I mean, he was unfortunate. He got his

stride pattern wrong, hit it with that trail leg, that foot took him

out before the second hurdle. You can see his reaction. Just

devastated. Devastated because he knows there was an opportunity for

him to probably get a medal, make it through to the final. It is pretty

wide-open. It is, we know for sure there's going to be a new name to

lift this Gold Medal. Could it be Sharman? He surprised a lot of

people that night? He's been coming back and having a good season,

healthy again. Always confident and always I look forward to his

post-race interview. It's always so full of content. That's a good way

to describe it. He's a great guy and a great

athlete. He looks very focussed here. He knows this is his. It could

really be his. Let's see if we can get the thoughts

of the two-time champion and Commonwealth Games record holder,

Colin Jackson. I won't comment on the fact that he doesn't appear to

have aged at all since those victories. Call it for us, Colin, is

it going to be another home nations winner? I think we'd all like to see

Will take this title. He had a difficult qualification with

Brathwaite next to him. They spent a lot of time clashing with each

other. The advantage this time is that they have swapped lanes. As

their lead legs go away from each other rather than close to each

other. That will help Will. The most important thing for Will is to get

an explosive start, get in front early and then he can dominate the

field. This is riddled with talent, Riley we saw going very well and

winning his heat. Lawrence Clarke is running outside for England as well.

He's been in many finals and produced the goods at the finals

too. It's not going to be a single-horse race. Will has to get

out early and dominate if he's going to take this victory. Thank you very

much Colin. Let's get out to our commentary team, is there going to

be another medal for England or the track tonight? STEVE CRAM: In lane

six will be maybe the favourite Andrew Riley, certainly a man who

has run very fast this year, 13. 19. That was in Monaco, recently. Shane

Brathwaite what a season he's having. Three men from Barbados in

this final. PB 13. 24. Then Lawrence Clarke in lane eight. Bronze medal

last time. It was an English one, two, three last time. No Turner,

Sharman and Clarke, but we have three men from Barbados in this

final. The last cries of support for Will

Sharman as they settle into their blocks. Former world champion, to

his right in lane four, Andrew Riley of Jamaica in six.

Sharman gets a pretty good start. So does Brathwaite, he hits the first

hurdle. Riley is coming through. Sharman coming with him. Riley and

Sharman. Sharman stutters off that hurdle. It will be tight and Riley

gets the gold. Sharman the silver. No a head wind. Oh, did he just give

it away a couple of hurdles out. Did he have the chance to take the Gold

Medal this time? It was snatch add way from him by the -- snatched away

from him, from the man in good form this year, Riley of Jamaica. Sharman

must be thinking - that was my chance. That was my opportunity. He

didn't get the best of starts. He got into the race with Riley and

they were level, about halfway. Over the sixth hurdle, the seventh. Then

Colin, what happened? I think Sharman had a chance to win that and

he can finish really well. He just didn't do that. You can sense the

frustration as he looked up at the screen. He will be disappointed with

himself. I don't think he did many things wrong. Andrew Riley, you know

you don't want to go to the last hurdle with Andrew Riley. He is a

supreme sprinter. He won the 100m at the NCAA while in college. You don't

want to do bat well him. -- battle with him. I think that was the

crucial time, hurdle eight that made the He just difference. Goes off

balance. It wasn't a great start out of the blocks either. He didn't take

the first hurdle out. This bit of the race is good. We won't see it on

this angle. When he hits the eighth hurdle, he just loses his - there,

it was there. You Ste clearly. To the naked eye you can see what

happened. What happens, when you're accelerating through the race, if

you don't get very quickly to the first two Howardled -- hurdles, your

acceleration happens later. That's what happened to Will. He clattered

the first hurdle which will have held him back by a fraction. Now he

moves ahead of the people around him. He's accelerating all the way

through the race. He's going to reach maximum speed at hurdle eight

instead of six. reach maximum speed at hurdle eight

instead He's just not quite prepared for that. That drags him back and

that's exactly what I think cost him the race. You can see there, that

caused a rock and that is very, very difficult to come at, because you're

going at such a pace. As I said, you don't want to be sprinting into the

last hurdle with Andrew Riley because he is a supreme sprinter.

Certainly the fastest in this field on the flat. Silver again for Will

Sharman. It wasn't another Englishman this time, it was to a

Jamaica. Good performance by Riley because he was under a lot of

pressure. The expectation wasn't really on him.

pressure. The expectation wasn't really on He will know he has the

capabilities of winning this title. There's Will. He's carrying that

England flag, you know deep down in his heart, he will be bitterly

disappointed. That is the second Silver Medal, two consecutive

Commonwealth Games for Will Sharman. GABBY LOGAN: So, Will Sharman with

the Silver Medal. It sounds disingenuous to say he'll be

disappointed, but he will, because there was an opportunity there. But

for the eighth hurdle, the gold would have been his. Inside he's

going to be hurting. It's not often that you are presented with an

opportunity to take a Gold Medal and he's in the shape of his life. He's

been running brilliantly all season. What I think happened was that he

was aware that he was in the lead, having been slightly down and he got

to hurdle eight and he couldn't see anybody really that close to him. I

think he must have lapsed in concentration and hit that barrier.

It's such a shame for him. But he'll bounce back. He's still got the

European Championships. He can hopefully make amends. He looks like

he's enjoying himself, maybe it's out of his mind already. At the end

of the day, it is a Silver Medal at the Commonwealth Games. Let's look

then at the final head on. Michael? Yeah, I don't know nearly enough,

hurdles always look difficult to me. When people get over them I'm

impressed. But he did hit that one hard. I know Will and he's - I know

this is an opportunity for him. He would have gone into this thinking,

yeah, I'm sure he's there just going, that was my opportunity and I

don't know when I'll get it again. In all honesty, I don't that I that

Will, he's a very smart guy, he analyses things. I don't think that

he feels he will ever be one of those world champions. It's tough at

that level. This is his opportunity. The Frenchman this season, who we

see later at the European Championships, who has taken it on

another level this season. We'll see those guys go head to head. He is in

a different league at the moment. 12. 94, at his first target is to go

13 seconds. I actually think Will could do that. I do. I know you

don't feel it. He's 13. 21 and he's been around for a while. I think

that, what's the breakthrough that's going to get him to the 13-flat

level? More speed, obviously. His technique isn't too flawed. He needs

more speed. You just go get some? Go and buy some at the shop, you know!

But he didn't start well. There are points in that race he can analyse

and that could be a tenth there easily. There's the Sharman fan

club. They're happy with him. I imagine that there's a relations

corner here, as there is at swimming as well. They're giving him lots of

cuddles. Pretty sure they're related. You won't have to wait for

long to hear that interview. We are going back to Tollcross to the

swimming. I think it's the last two finals of what has been a fabulous

swim meet. CLARE BALDING: It has. You'll be

delighted because particularly a very good night for Wales. Until

yesterday, Welsh women have not won a Gold Medal in the pool for 40

years. But they took gold in the 50 m backstroke and silver went to

Lauren Quigley the 19-year-old from England. She said a new English

record. But she wasn't fast enough to beat Georgia Davis, who in a new

British record and Commonwealth Games record took gold. It's her

first major title. She's 23 years old, another one to train with James

Gibbson in Loughborough. This is old, another one to train with James

Gibbson in Loughborough. This a magnificent moment for her and for

Wales. Georgia Davis will be one of the

swimmers coming in for Tonight at the Games at 10. 40pm tonight.

Brilliant stuff. Wonderful performance from her and

so too from Daniel Wallace, who had his kilt on again who came out for

the medal ceremony for the 200m individual medley. He watched brave

heart before he won his Gold Medal in the 400 IM and that had inspired

him. He was pumped up for this. And the crowd roared him home, a great

swim. Beaten by the Australian. But smashed his personal best. The

longest race of the Commonwealth Games has taken place. It's the 1500

metres. When we look at the line-up you see that it includes a swimmer

from Wales, one from Scotland and England. Daniel Jervis is an

18-year-old apprentice for his dad who's a painter and decorator. Good

junior swimmer. This is his first senior meet. Ryan Cochrane the hot

favourite for Canada. In lane five, Stephen Miller from Scotland. --

Milne from Scotland. And this was him coming out the 20-year-old who

trains in Perth and Dan Fogg was the English representative. Ryan

Cochrane the Olympic Silver Medallist, the man with the

pedigree. In the early stages of this race it was a battle between

him and Matt Horton. Let's pick it up with commentary from Adrian

Moorehouse and Andy Jamieson. Cochrane gets the bell. He's turning

in Gold Medal position. This will be an awesome double. Horton in silver.

He's still catching. I'm not sure he's going to have enough space. He

looks very good indeed in fourth position at the moment, Dan Jervis

from Wales. 1. 5 seconds. Oh, he's eating it up very quickly. He's

charging at the top of that shot now. It's Australia in third

position and Wales in four. But very, very clear leader. The leader

is the defending champion, Ryan Cochrane from Canada. He won the

Gold Medal. Look at the top of the shot. It's a long way. There's still

clear water between the two. It's going to be tight. Well, I think

that Cochrane has had an awesome double, double, brilliant swim.

Jervis is charging like a train. The Gold Medal very clearly going to

Ryan Cochrane. We should stop and just salute this guy. He won the

gold in the 400m and 1500m in Delhi. He has already won the gold here in

the 400, and the 1500 he's won in fine fashion. The silver is to Matt

Horton. Lock at the race for bronze. He's going to do it! Daniel Jervis

has done it! He's got a bronze medal in the men's 1500m freestyle from

absolutely miles back. The Welsh team have gone loopy down the far

end of the poop and rightly so! Well done Dan Jervis. Heavens above, how

did he do that? Oh, boy, that was awesome. You could not ignore that

race is on the far side. The crowd went nuts and I

race is on the far side. The crowd went nuts thought the Welsh team

were going to fall in the water. The film -- he was the furthest

were going to fall in the water. The film -- away from the finish and he

was coming back against John Harrison and they nearly fell in,

they were jumping over! He finished like an absolute train. He can go so

much faster if he picks it up inside the first 100m. How on Earth did he

do that? Look at this. He was miles behind. It is really into. That is

utterly fantastic. -- it is great. A true champion representing champion

-- representing Canada is Cochrane, winning the race. Successfully

defending the title he won in Delhi four years ago and he becomes the

winner of the 100th Canadian Gold medal in the swimming pool and in

Commonwealth history. Silver to Mack Horton of Australia. And what a

bronze medal for Daniel Jervis! Could you hear this crowd? I thought

they were going to jump over and into the whole! The atmosphere in

Tollcross is amazing. -- swimming pool. And to seep the Welsh flags is

phenomenal. -- to see. I cannot believe this. For a Swansea boy,

that is fantastic. You swam the last 100m nearly faster than Cochrane.

That is appraising. To be swimming with these guys is amazing. --

surprising. I do not know what to say, I am shocked. I am so happy.

The home nations have had a good time. You have had a bit of a

flurry. Yes, with Georgia winning and with Jazz Carlin winning, a

great time for Wales. Well done. Thank you very much.

That is such a gruelling grace and for Daniel Jervis to finish as

strongly as he did was epic. What a great swim. Becky, he smashed his

personal best and never has a bronze medal in more deserving! One of the

longer races. -- been more deserving. In 11 seconds personal

best is incredible. He won the European Juniors at this time last

year, he was going one-minute slow and he is only 18. He has so much

more to give in the future. It was your fiance Harry that told us he

still works as an apprentice painter and decorator. Maybe he works with

him! I do not know. What was so impressive was that case of never

giving up. Two seconds behind in that last quarter. And those are two

great swimmers. Maximum -- Mack Horton and Cochrane have such a

great pedigree. Kieran Perkins has the Games record. Look at him! And

that is the exciting thing. The medallists have come from Scotland,

Wales and England and they are right at the beginning of their careers.

They have done so well here. What is scary about Daniel is that he has

come on so much in a year, what else has he got left? These guys will be

on the podium in Rio, for the World Championships. What a great

experience to have a home crowd, his first major senior international.

This feels like an international swimming competition that has been

all about belief, Mark. Swimmers have been inspired by the crowd, the

location, the fact their team-mates are achieving. They have done more

than they have ever done before. One of my highlights is that it has

not just been about Scotland. They have been cheering on the Welsh, the

English, with just as much and easier than, and that has lifted the

home nations. -- enthusiasm. The younger generation coming through

that our world-class is awesome for Rio in two years. And to have done

this rent double, he is only 19 -- this rent double. That was your

distance and you know it is about reaction time. -- the leg double.

Those are his grandparents, that is lovely. He is in with experienced

swimmers. They are quite intimidating. He got one over them.

A world-class field. At 19, you do not get strong until 23, 24, it is

exciting to see what will happen. We have mentioned legacy, Vicky left a

legacy in swimming and now it is nice to see we have another

sprinter. -- Becky. They have done us proud here.

Daniel Jervis is getting so much applause that he has got detached

from the others and he is getting an ovation as he comes passed the stand

of friends and family. He is loving this. Let's talk about Georgia

Davies who set a new British record in winning the 50 metre backstroke

for Wales, Lauren Quigley finishing second for Wales. That was a great

result although that is not an Olympic event. It is not in the

Olympics but great confidence for Georgia and Lauren. 100m backstroke,

so it is nice Lauren got a silver medal. For Georgia, what a boost.

Training with James Gibson who we have mentioned so much this week.

Really building up a centre in Loughborough. It will bode well

going into the World Championships next year, concentrating on that

100m backstroke. This is another look at that, the underwater camera

shows the technique. And you should see the waves. But you have to focus

and go for it. Sports science is important because how far it has

come on. Those two had the best start. They led from the start. It

came down to a fingernail touch. Georgia Davies, a new British

record. A new English record. And that first major title for Georgia

Davies who is 23, so she is not old. And we finished with the two relays.

And chances for more medals here. Wales, England, Scotland and

Northern Ireland are represented here. Totally different to this

morning's heats were the second swimmers swam. They are fresh and

ready and on paper, we should be rivalling the Australians. That's

hand you back as they come out -- lets.

I just heard you above the massive roar 14 Scotland. -- 14 Scotland. --

first Team Scotland. The Canadians have got serious chances. That is

Team England, Lauren Quigley leading. Sophie Taylor. She got Gold

on the breaststroke. Fran household was fourth between two superb

Australians -- Brown Halse all. The Australians have the fastest seed. A

tough team. I think Lauren Quigley will be buoyed by that silver medal

for England. Georgia Davies in two for Wales. A stronger lead. -- a

strong lead. Very well supported, the Scottish team. Dawson, what a

wonderful meet she has had at the age of 16. And the Northern Ireland.

-- and Northern Ireland. Scotland have had a super time. Right at the

top, representing Wales in lane number two, Georgia Davies. Closest

to us is Northern Ireland. The last women's final of the Commonwealth

Games, the final evening. And a good start in the Centre for Lauren

Quigley, of England. Coming off the back of that success, it is

interesting. What you need now is for some of these swimmers to swim

better than they did in the individuals. It is not over until

this has been done. You want these women to go as fast as they can, and

records can be set. The Australians doing what they need, but what a

fantastic turn from Georgia Davies! A battle here. Can Georgia Davies

turn this around? Doing pretty much the same time she did to get the

silver medal. Australia leading. The time is fast. 59.4. Russell is third

for Canada. Georgia Davies second for Wales. Lauren Quigley just

outside 60 seconds again. 60 seconds again Taylor won the 100m breast

stroke for England and she is charging in the middle. Her back

end, it is very strong. If Taylor can do this now, against Sonia Tonks

who got the silver for Australia, it is a strong field. Each nation

putting their best swimmers forward. Taylor came away at about this

point. She started to launch forward. Fantastic swim. 1.3 seconds

off the field in her 100. Taylor can make a big impact here. A very

important piece of this race right now and Taylor is starting to move

away from the field. The halfway point. A very good length from

Sophie Taylor and what a great start for Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. We have

seen her do great start but she must have taken another metre out of the

field. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor the silver in the 100. The Australian

got the bronze just behind her. This is for O'Connor to step up and do

something fantastic. The Australian looked over. A real job to do now

against Campbell. She needs about half a second. I am not sure it is

enough and Siobhan-Marie O'Connor coming back well, as is in the

McEwan of Australia. -- UN. Very tight indeed. First is England,

second is Australia, third is Canada, for this Wales, having a

very good swim indeed. Fran had 0.1 and it is going to be tough. She

needs to be very careful in this first 50 metres. A really big turn

from Fran. It is head-to-head. Surely she cannot do this? The lady

in the yellow hat from Australia is the fastest woman in the world in

the 100m freestyle and she is hanging on, Halsall, but it looks

like Campbell is going to bring it home for Australia. And Gold in the

final event for women in this woman pleb goes to Australia. -- in the

women's swimming pool. The bronze has gone to Canada. Wales and

fourth. A very good swim indeed from Wales. Scotland fifth. South

Africa's sixth. The English team have equalled the British record.

That record set in Rome. -- South Africa six. The England team killing

the English record by three seconds. It was just too much. She did need

that bit extra. The first three women gave such a big effort. Wales

have been disqualified. We will see the results in a second. We saw the

takeover from Georgia Davies. We thought in the heats they were

borderline, zero, zero. indeed. The Welsh and Northern

Ireland teams both disqualified. But not affecting the meldals. The Welsh

did swim very well indeed. That's a great shame.

The Gold Medal - look at that takeover. Very close indeed. Fran,

well, she needed a little bit more. She pace today well. Just at the

end, she didn't have enough. That's OK. She's the best at 50.

Fran's split was 52. 5, which is very good for Fran. 51. 5 for the

Australian. Goodness me. I wonder if that's the fastest split in history,

you know? For Cate Campbell. Very, very strong. You can't live with a

51. 5, Fran did really well. Sophie Taylor a fantastic 66. 39. You all

right Fran, prop each other up, you're a team. Lauren, you led off.

Yeah, I did. I'm proud of these girls. Finished on a good one.

They're amazing. Our team talk about this was how many golds have you

got, and they got to me, and "How many medals have you got? To do it

with these girls, I'm proud of them. Quite some week. Sophie, you did so

much and pulled up so much, it was such a close race. Yeah, well, like

my mum's always said to me in a relay, I'm a fighter. That's what I

do. I could see we weren't in first place, which I'm sure where we

wanted to be. I gave it my all. Turning first, I thought right,

that's my part done. The girls just carried it on and it was great.

Siobhan, such a busy week and yet a great 100 fly there, you equalled to

the 00th the British record. -- hundredth the British record. Oh,

that's really cool. Chuffed to bits. That was a really good race. We knew

we could give the Aussies a run for their money. I think we put up a

really good fight and scared them quite a bit there. Apart from

jumping out of your skin, when you came through the door, the blowers

went off, you gave it all you could, Fran? I wasn't ready for that. Yeah,

that was tough. Tough race. I knew these girls would put me in a

fantastic position and they did everything they possibly could. Cate

is too big to catch on the end. I gave it my all and the girls did, to

equal the British record is fantastic. Fantastic week and

fantastic silver. Now we are going to watch the guys and give them a

shout. Here's team New Zealand in lane six

of this, the final race of the Commonwealth Games in the swimming

pool 2014 in Glasgow. What a wonderful meet it's been. Straight

in we've got team England in lane three, they're the third fastest

qualifiers. Walker-Hebborn leading the backstroke. He won the gold in

that. Peaty on the breaststroke, he won the gold. Bronze medal to Adam

Barrett on the fly. We have massive guys in this Australian team. James

Magnussen fastest man in the world on 100 freestyle. Canada, they're in

five. Magnussen at the back there. Team Australia, Larkin, not that

great of a backstroker. Breaststroke may be the weak leg. We don't know.

The English team can take the advantage. Well Chris

Walker-Hebborn, Adam Peaty, just at the back right there, there's a lot

of pressure on these guys. I wonder whether they can just take that

extra step that the women just struggled slightly to do there. The

men have a chance. Right at the top team Scotland.

The final race at the Commonwealth Games in 2014, the men's 4 X 100 Med

youly relay. -- medley relay. The English team need a very big leg

from Chris Walker-Hebborn. Everyone up just about on time. Just about up

to that 15-metre mark. Backstroke starts. Chris Walker-Hebborn up

there in lane three. He needs to give the English team a big lead. At

the moment, he is. Mitch Larkin head to head. He beat him in the

individual. You need these swimmers to repeat that. You need them to

step up and do maybe a little bit extra. Teams sometimes can do that

to you, the team spirit, get going. Adam Brown on the freestyle needs

about 1. 5 seconds. Walker-Hebborn has got to do his piece of this. He

needs to get his half a second. It will all go into the bank account.

Then Adam Brown will use it on the freestyle. He's going well at the

moment. Chris Walker-Hebborn dying a tiny bit inside the last ten metres.

It's not that much of a lead. A very tight takeover from the English

team, goodness me. So, it's now Adam Peaty. Up against Sprenger. The

Australian, that yellow hat, has had an awesome first 25. Absolutely.

Sprenger had a bad start to the meet. It got better as he went

along. Peaty had the better of him. The main thing here is not to get

too excited. It's a difficult thing to do. It's easy to say. But Peaty

has a very good last 25 metres. He needs to use it. Sprenger is

sticking with him. It's a bit of a problem. We were hoping to get

another half a second here. Charting up there in the green hat is Van der

Burgh, the world record holder. At the moment, Peaty is looking good.

I'm not sure there's enough lead. This is where he can do it. He's

stronger than Sprenger. Sprenger is a little weaker. This is it,

brilliant last five metres. Keep on driving to the wall. That's the

halfway mark in this final race. There's a decent gap at the moment,

it needs to be more, at least to be about three metres if England are

going to win the gold here. It's England one, Australia two. Looks

like maybe now down in lane six, New Zealand third. This is a very, very

important leg for the English team. The butterfly swimmer here, Adam

Barrett, he had a very, very good individual 100 fly to get a bronze

medal and a super turn. Fantastic turn. He's nearly half a second

ahead of Hadler. The crowd is going nuts. They know Brown will have to

swim the swim of his life. He needs 1. 5 seconds at leaf, maybe two. He

could have it. This could be enough. Adam Brown, the swim of your life.

The final leg, oh, the Australians are very tight takeover indeed.

Magnussen is off. He's chasing hard indeed. So it's Adam Brown for

England and it's the fastest man in the world on the 100 metres

freestyle for Australia, James Mugridge. He won the gold on --

Magnussen. He won the gold on the individual. He's not eating into the

lead yet. Adam Brown's legs are going like a speed boat. Brown, we

need him to not to have gone too fast in the first 25. Manage your

state. Magnussen coming back. 1. 4 seconds. I think Adam Brown can hold

this. But Magnussen, like a train. Magnussen's very strong inside the

last 25. This is not over yet. Team England still leading, but Magnussen

is coming back. Magnussen really is coming back on Adam Brown. Brown is

tiring, but I think he's going to make it. The final race of the

Commonwealth Games in the swimming pool is won by England! What a

wonderful swim that is and the guys behind the blocks going absolutely

crazy, a new Commonwealth Games record and team England win the

final race and goodness me, what a massive upset that is! Gold to

England, silver to Australia, bronze to South Africa and the English team

stand up and take a bow, stunning stuff! Well, I'm glad you were

talking over the last ten metres mate, because I had no chance. I was

on my feet shouting. What a great atmosphere! That was a brilliant

swim. Adam Brown, the rest of the team gave him the lead he needed. He

needed guts. He has to be careful. He's just gone over the block.

You're not allowed to get over the blocks. You have to stay in the

water. Well, Adam Peaty, Sprenger was with him all the way. Then Peaty

delivered in the last ten metres or so. Just about here. Yeah, it was

Sprenger tied here. Up and Peaty swap away. Very good leg from

Barrett. He's the quiet man. What a leg from the final there. 51. 02

Barrett. Brilliant. Very impressive. Yeah, that's interesting, he got

that 0. 7 on Hadler. He was brilliant. They all did what we

expected them to do. Brown had something left at the What we end.

Expected, that's a big call! They did what they had to do. On paper,

we all said on paper they should do it. What they delivered was to a

man, a little bit better than that. They gave Brown a lead he must have

thought, well, all my Christmases have come. Adam Brown is a new dad.

His wife has given birth in the States. And it came very early. He

wasn't there. It was meant to be after the Commonwealth Games. Look

at the guys behind the block! Oh, yes. Oh, yes, Commonwealth champions

on the men's 4 X 100 medley relay. The final race of the Games. It

started with Hannah Miley. A gold on the 400 medley, and look at the

English guys. Super, well done! Brown brought them home.

Oh, my goodness me, wearing he's and jumping -- heels and jumping up and

down was not good. Chris, how are you feeling? Buzzing. That was the

best relay I've ever been apart of. To come away with the Games record

and a gold is more than I could have asked for. I'm so proud. What a

great way to finish your week. I couldn't top it off. These are like

my brothers. It's amazing to get out there. Bring it home for England.

Another Adam, fantastic fly leg, 51 flat. I didn't realise that.

Brilliant to win as part of a team. We're so strong, team England, this

year. We've proved today we can compete with anyone in the world.

It's brilliant. And what can I say, how scary was it to go last against

the fastest man in the world? Pretty scary. That last ten metres, I saw

him catching me. I just knew that, these guys did an amazing job up

front, the knew I had to give it my best and I haven't had the best of

weeks individually, but to come back with these guys and to perform like

that at the end of the meet, it's unbelievable. A great team. Pretty

young team as well. Going forward, it's going to be really Do you good.

Know you're the first time that England has ever won that event.

What an Unbelievable. Amazing present for your wife now that

you're a daddy. A little gift for my baby girl and my wife. Heading back

home tomorrow to see them too, first time, yeah, can't wait, I'm pretty

Please pass excited. On our best to the whole team. An extraordinary

week and a prif tlodge watch you all, well done.

GARY LINEKER: What a wonderful finale from the team there. The

Australians have won that in the last four Commonwealth Games.

Spectacular finish. Thanks to everyone at the Tollcross

international swim Shooting Centre for all their efforts in the

swimming. Ian Thorpe is here. It's a perfect moment really to say, well,

what a shame, Australia have lost. Still 19 gold medals. You called it,

you sat here, we were watching the race, you called it early. You said

England might win. There were -- they were favourites going into

this. The performance for the individual strokes has a second

ahead ahead of Australia. This was always going -- second ahead of

Australia. This was always gob to be a tough race. The breaststroke and

butterfly leg were brilliant. You just saw them annihilate the

Australians. It gave enough for Adam Brown to hang onto. Just enough.
