BBC One: Day 9: 19:00-22:00

:00:49. > :00:53.wonderful performances and golden moments, but do not think the fun

:00:54. > :00:57.has ended the cos some of the biggest stars are about to begin

:00:58. > :01:03.their Commonwealth West -- because. We start with Tom Daley. --

:01:04. > :01:12.Commonwealth battle. I still get terrified every single

:01:13. > :01:19.time. Ten metres is a long way down. You know you will hit the water at

:01:20. > :01:27.34 mph. You cannot think about what could happen. It is all about

:01:28. > :01:34.confronting fear. Peak physical condition is not enough. You have to

:01:35. > :01:41.get mental strength. You only get that when things go wrong.

:01:42. > :01:46.You keep pushing through. You do not hear any noise, you hear your feet

:01:47. > :01:54.on the board and nothing else. In life, sometimes you need fear so

:01:55. > :02:06.you can face it. Every single time I dive, I feel

:02:07. > :02:29.completely alive. He starts his head for golden glory

:02:30. > :02:35.shortly with partner James Denny in the ten metres synchronised. They

:02:36. > :02:43.hit the water at about 34 mph, 50, it is for hour. -- kilometres for

:02:44. > :02:57.hour. It is marginally quicker than Usain Bolt.

:02:58. > :03:04.How do you become the fastest man in the world?

:03:05. > :03:22.He becomes a legend! It does depend on your raw material.

:03:23. > :03:27.Are you a symbol? How are you alt? -- how are you assembled, how are

:03:28. > :03:33.you built? He will take the Gold again.

:03:34. > :03:37.Unbeatable! Could you ever doubt him?

:03:38. > :03:43.All the fine tuning in the world will not help if you do not have

:03:44. > :03:49.inner steel, if you do not have willpower and the drive to succeed.

:03:50. > :03:55.You still have to cap -- you still have to take care of business, hold

:03:56. > :04:00.on your strength, focus and mind. He has blown them all away!

:04:01. > :04:07.If you do that, when you arrive at the blocks, you might just make the

:04:08. > :04:14.most of being alt to strength. -- built.

:04:15. > :04:17.Usain Bolt, Tom Daley, not a bad line-up. These are more familiar

:04:18. > :04:27.faces over the next three hours. Lynsey Sharp will have the Hampden

:04:28. > :04:36.Park home support tonight in an 800 metres final.

:04:37. > :04:43.But could it be England's Jessica Judd who has the best chance of a

:04:44. > :04:48.home nations medal or even a Gold? The fast men and women will hit the

:04:49. > :04:57.track for the 100m relay, Usain Bolt for Jamaica, before ten o'clock.

:04:58. > :05:00.Australia will expect a Gold from this sprint hurdles champion, Sally

:05:01. > :05:05.Pearson. England's Tiffany Porter will have other ideas on what

:05:06. > :05:13.promises to be a showdown to remember.

:05:14. > :05:24.This is how the timetable is looking.

:05:25. > :05:38.The athletics gets underway at eight o'clock, sadly without Mo Farah, but

:05:39. > :05:39.still a high-quality field. Usain Bolt will make his Commonwealth

:05:40. > :06:05.Games debut just after 9:30 p.m.. A great night of track and field. To

:06:06. > :06:12.set the scene is champion Paula Radcliffe. The standout race has to

:06:13. > :06:17.be the women's 800 metres? Yes, from the perspective of the home

:06:18. > :06:22.countries, we have good chances and this -- the stadium will come alive

:06:23. > :06:25.when Lynsey Sharp is introduced. She just made it through in the European

:06:26. > :06:30.Championships so should we be worried? She will rob ugly be

:06:31. > :06:35.concerned, she did look concerned in the race yesterday, but she did

:06:36. > :06:42.everything right. Had herself in a perfect position but she looked very

:06:43. > :06:45.tense as though she was struggling. But she held it together and she

:06:46. > :06:50.kept fighting until the end and she managed to beat Jenny Meadows on the

:06:51. > :06:56.line but they both went through as fastest losers, so it was important

:06:57. > :07:00.she guaranteed her place in the final tonight. Jessica Judd looked

:07:01. > :07:07.great, she let her semifinal from the front. How good can she be? --

:07:08. > :07:13.she was leading. She can be really good, she is still a junior social

:07:14. > :07:16.could have gone to the world Junior Championships which finished in

:07:17. > :07:20.Eugene but she wanted to come to the Commonwealth Games to make an

:07:21. > :07:25.impact. And what I was happy about was that she seemed to run a lot

:07:26. > :07:32.more to her instincts and naturals tile. And the way her heart would

:07:33. > :07:35.dictate and not how she would worry with her head. She sometimes has a

:07:36. > :07:40.tendency to worry and to get nervous and to overthink races and when she

:07:41. > :07:43.does them naturally and let instincts take over, she looks

:07:44. > :07:52.happier and more comfortable and she runs better. Is it all about Eunice

:07:53. > :07:57.Sum? She is definitely the one to beat. How she controls this will

:07:58. > :08:02.dictate how it is run and the medals. If she takes it out hard,

:08:03. > :08:07.depending on who goes with her, look out for dangers like Jessica Judd

:08:08. > :08:16.and Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand who could be strong. Also watch out for

:08:17. > :08:22.the Ugandan, and Melissa Bishop looking good. We will join you for

:08:23. > :08:28.the 10,000 metres, all. There is no Mo Farah but who should we look out

:08:29. > :08:39.for? -- for the 10,000 metres. Look out for the Kenyan athletes. Also,

:08:40. > :08:43.the defending champion, he has not come into these Games in the shape

:08:44. > :08:51.he was in previous years but one to watch out for. We also have Jake

:08:52. > :08:54.Robertson of New Zealand. He took a fall in the 5,000 metres when his

:08:55. > :09:01.twin brother got the bronze so he will be a danger. And Mo Farah's

:09:02. > :09:09.training partner of Canada, also. Kenya take -- take some beating.

:09:10. > :09:14.What do you make of the decision of Usain Bolt only perform in the

:09:15. > :09:17.races? It is great he has come here and it shows the Commonwealth Games

:09:18. > :09:22.do matter as we have seen every night in the stadium. It reflects on

:09:23. > :09:26.the same way it was great to see David Rudisha. -- in the same way.

:09:27. > :09:33.He was not in the shape he wanted but it was important to use the race

:09:34. > :09:36.to bring himself towards that. That is why it is important to see

:09:37. > :09:44.champions like Usain Bolt so people can race against him. He is maybe

:09:45. > :09:52.not untouchable, as he has been before. Thank you for that. In the

:09:53. > :09:58.penultimate night of track and field. And it has been another great

:09:59. > :10:15.day at the gymnastics and this is a quick look back.

:10:16. > :10:23.It was a dream! England's Kristian Thomas takes the

:10:24. > :10:31.silver. That is your Commonwealth champion,

:10:32. > :10:32.Scott Morgan, from Canada! Wales's Georgina Hockenhull takes

:10:33. > :10:46.bronze! Ellie Black, she is the Commonwealth

:10:47. > :10:52.champion. Max Whitlock, yet another medal.

:10:53. > :10:57.It does not come much better than this.

:10:58. > :11:03.Nile Wilson, silver, his just reward. He has done it, Dan Purvis,

:11:04. > :11:25.Gold medal. And Scotland goes crazy!

:11:26. > :11:34.It is a golden floor routine for a golden girl!

:11:35. > :11:42.Take sparkle, energy and what you get is Claudia Fragapane!

:11:43. > :11:55.What a performance! That is so impressive! Kristian

:11:56. > :12:02.Thomas, we know what he can produce. This is beautiful! I do not use that

:12:03. > :12:04.term very often. What a way for Nile Wilson to finish

:12:05. > :12:18.a great baptism. Marvellous. This is how the

:12:19. > :12:32.gymnastics medal table concluded. 19 medals for England, a record, a

:12:33. > :12:41.staggering performance, England's best ever why a distance. Canada

:12:42. > :12:46.second and Scotland doing well. But England dominating proceedings. We

:12:47. > :12:52.have seen some stunning gymnastics and today, we saw startling spirit

:12:53. > :13:01.from Canada's Anderson Loran in the high bar, he suffered that agonising

:13:02. > :13:06.fall. But he got back in the bar for this to happen. Surely he had had

:13:07. > :13:10.enough? He got back for a third time this to happen. Surely he had had

:13:11. > :13:15.to finish his routine, to a great this to happen. Surely he had had

:13:16. > :13:22.invasion. The epitome of the spirit of the Games. No medal, but he

:13:23. > :13:28.deserves a medal for bravery. Five days of gymnastics or over but

:13:29. > :13:29.the sport keeps coming. If you love boxing, BBC Three is the place to

:13:30. > :13:44.be. -- they are over. And you can watch every offence life

:13:45. > :13:51.online. -- live. Diving next, but first,

:13:52. > :13:57.Gold medals that had been won in Edinburgh today.

:13:58. > :14:04.Jack Laugher claimed his second Gold, winning the springboard title

:14:05. > :14:05.with England team-mate Chris Mears. Robinson-Baker and Freddie Woodward

:14:06. > :14:22.took the bronze. Great effort. Tonight, it is the men's ten metres

:14:23. > :14:27.synchronised platform in which Tom Daley won Gold in Delhi with his

:14:28. > :14:32.partner who has retired. He will partner James Denny this time around

:14:33. > :14:36.and we will be at the swimming pool in a while but first, we can catch

:14:37. > :14:44.up with Tom Daley who has had a challenging couple of years.

:14:45. > :14:51.It is good, he cannot do more than that! The crowd are on their feet,

:14:52. > :14:55.Tom Daley has done everything he can!

:14:56. > :14:57.Tom Daley, you could not have done any more, it is out of your hands

:14:58. > :15:12.now. riddled with injury. 2014 has come

:15:13. > :15:18.with a lot of changes, I have moved to London, I have a new coach, lots

:15:19. > :15:23.of new exercises, lots of new tech geeks. The competitions are doing

:15:24. > :15:26.really well. I have just got a personal best in Mexico and a silver

:15:27. > :15:37.medal. I am making the step between being good to trying to get into the

:15:38. > :15:41.excellent category. You mentioned the personal best, what has been the

:15:42. > :15:48.difference to get that? To break a personal best, it is something you

:15:49. > :15:53.strive for. The smallest thing makes the biggest difference. If I do not

:15:54. > :15:55..80, if I go slightly over from vertical, it can cost you a personal

:15:56. > :16:07.best. Tom Daley goes into the water,

:16:08. > :16:12.hardly any splash. Give him some tens!

:16:13. > :16:17.What was special about the Commonwealth gold? It has always

:16:18. > :16:22.been a massive event on the diving calendar. To compete in my first one

:16:23. > :16:25.and come away with two gold medals, I was over the moon. I could not

:16:26. > :16:40.wait for another four years to pass. It is not so good. He lost it on the

:16:41. > :16:44.take-off, running out of room. Maybe the flashes put him off.

:16:45. > :16:51.Tell us about the twister. Everybody has a dive they are scared of, for

:16:52. > :16:56.me, it has always been the back twister. But I have done everything

:16:57. > :17:01.I can, working with my support team to get me to the stage where I can

:17:02. > :17:06.do it as well as I can. I am optimistic that I will be able to

:17:07. > :17:10.nail it. Have you seen a therapist or psychologist? There are so many

:17:11. > :17:14.things to talk about with a psychologist. It is a crucial part

:17:15. > :17:19.of being able to be at the top of your game, to be able to mentally be

:17:20. > :17:22.in the position to think that you can win and where you do not have

:17:23. > :17:36.any worries about the sport. To get another Commonwealth gold

:17:37. > :17:41.medal would mean so much. It only happens once every four years, it is

:17:42. > :17:47.not like an event where you can do it again the next year. You do all

:17:48. > :17:52.those years of training, four years, then you get six dives, and if you

:17:53. > :17:56.mess up one of them, you are out. Still a lot of work to be done, but

:17:57. > :18:05.by the time the Commonwealth Games happens, I am on the end of the

:18:06. > :18:13.board, hopefully I will be there. We shall find out. Leon Taylor was

:18:14. > :18:23.an Olympics or the medallist in this event in Athens 2004. Tell us what

:18:24. > :18:27.sort of shape Tom Daley is in. He has been in phenomenal shape for

:18:28. > :18:32.most of this year, he got a personal best in the individual event a

:18:33. > :18:37.number of weeks ago in Mexico. Unfortunately, he hurt his thumb

:18:38. > :18:40.recently, he almost took his thumb off his hand, so he has had heavy

:18:41. > :18:46.strapping and a bit of time out before the World Cup two weeks ago.

:18:47. > :18:53.He still managed fourth place, so he is in great form. He is excited to

:18:54. > :18:56.go this afternoon, or this evening. If you have got a painful fun and

:18:57. > :19:02.you are going to be plunging from ten metres, that is going to prey on

:19:03. > :19:07.your mind? Of course, lots of things can play on your mind, though. The

:19:08. > :19:13.dives, the crowd, the expectation, the pressure, so it is another thing

:19:14. > :19:17.to add to the mix. But he is exceptional, he will deal with the

:19:18. > :19:22.pain and the distractions, and he is excited to get going. England have

:19:23. > :19:26.been rocking it here, he is looking forward to adding to the medal

:19:27. > :19:33.tally. He is going with James Denny, it is a new partnership. They

:19:34. > :19:40.well matched? They are. They had a couple of months' preparation to see

:19:41. > :19:46.if it was going to be a suitable match, and their techniques and

:19:47. > :19:50.power ratios are much about. They did some lower-level diving, the

:19:51. > :20:00.three metre platform, the five men to platform, it looked like one for

:20:01. > :20:03.the future, but they have got here to the Commonwealth Games and

:20:04. > :20:09.thought, let's put it together. They are in with a shot of a podium

:20:10. > :20:13.finish, for sure. The decision was made earlier in the week, quite

:20:14. > :20:17.late. When you have got something like a synchronised swimming, don't

:20:18. > :20:26.you have to work together for a long period of time to get it perfectly

:20:27. > :20:30.timed? Absolutely. This is a trial for Rio de Janeiro. Tom Daley has

:20:31. > :20:37.been looking for a partner, trying to find somebody who can match him,

:20:38. > :20:41.and now he has James Denny. If this works, and I think it will,

:20:42. > :20:45.and now he has James Denny. If this still have fine tuning to do, but

:20:46. > :20:50.they could be a medal prospect in 2016. Can they stand on top of the

:20:51. > :20:57.podium in the next half an hour? It seems a bit sparse, who is the most

:20:58. > :21:00.likely competitors? There are only four competitors, the Malaysians

:21:01. > :21:06.have pulled out due to injury. You have the Australians, who were

:21:07. > :21:11.probably the most experienced. The 2008 Olympic champion.

:21:12. > :21:19.A relatively inexperienced pair from Canada. It is wide open. They have

:21:20. > :21:22.six dives, if they time it right and the execution is good, we could see

:21:23. > :21:27.another medal for the Englishman. What about James Denny, can he cope

:21:28. > :21:31.with the type of difficulty that Tom Daley can? He is not as consistent

:21:32. > :21:39.as Tom Daley. He has been working with the big

:21:40. > :21:43.dives for a while, but what a joy for him to stand next to him and

:21:44. > :21:48.take on the Commonwealth Games with this crowd, it will be a real joy. I

:21:49. > :21:52.am sure Tom Wilkinson calm, and they will have fun and see what happens.

:21:53. > :21:59.You have been there, seen it, done it, it is all very well on your own,

:22:00. > :22:02.exceptionally difficult, but what is it like when you have to be

:22:03. > :22:08.synchronised? It is an added distraction. But it is an added

:22:09. > :22:15.excitement. You have to concentrate on what you are doing, but in sync

:22:16. > :22:20.with the person next to you. 1.5 seconds to get from the diving board

:22:21. > :22:23.before you hit the water, and a 35 miles an hour, whilst spinning and

:22:24. > :22:29.twisting as many times as you can. Sounds like fun? For you, yes,

:22:30. > :22:35.obviously! It sounds, does it difficult for me! Have we got a new

:22:36. > :22:41.start in Jacques Rogge? Two gold medals and it's all the medal. Yes,

:22:42. > :22:46.he has been in phenomenal form, he has been inconsistent over the

:22:47. > :22:50.years. His name has been mentioned, but it has not been put in lights

:22:51. > :22:56.before. He was close to the third gold medal last night. In the

:22:57. > :23:01.individual last night, that was his as well, so he could have been a

:23:02. > :23:07.triple gold medallist. He is a great guy, only 19, and he is a name to

:23:08. > :23:18.watch. We have got one wave from the judges. They do not look like a

:23:19. > :23:22.happy bunch! Thank you, Leon. The ten metres synchronised platform is

:23:23. > :23:25.about to begin in Edinburgh. Bob, it is all yours.

:23:26. > :23:31.Gary, thank you. I have had an idea for a programme pilot, Leon Taylor

:23:32. > :23:35.and Gary Lineker up on the for a programme pilot, Leon Taylor

:23:36. > :23:45.board. It will get rate Saturday night ratings! We have four pairs.

:23:46. > :23:46.board. It will get rate Saturday They will only be boarding to

:23:47. > :23:50.medals, a gold and a silver. There They will only be boarding to

:23:51. > :23:52.will be no bronze medal. They should have been five pairs, but the

:23:53. > :23:59.Malaysian pair withdrew. have been five pairs, but the

:24:00. > :24:02.Belizean pair withdrew. We have England, Australia, Malaysia and

:24:03. > :24:12.Canada, in that order. To set the scene, indeed men's, it is six, in

:24:13. > :24:16.the women's, it is five. Similar to both, the first two

:24:17. > :24:19.the women's, it is five. Similar to the dives they have to do. The

:24:20. > :24:27.optional dives, from Rowntree onwards. The required dives are in

:24:28. > :24:32.the first two rounds of. They are all 2.0 difficulty. It is a bit like

:24:33. > :24:37.that cycle race on the track where they allow the pizza van

:24:38. > :24:38.that cycle race on the track where around, then he gets off, and they

:24:39. > :24:41.can go around, then he gets off, and they

:24:42. > :24:46.much happens in the first couple of rounds, people do not normally drop

:24:47. > :24:55.their 2.0. They are just there for show. But you can open up a ten

:24:56. > :25:00.point lead. 0.05 of 8.7 to third place and fourth place earlier, so

:25:01. > :25:03.every point counts. There will not be any big leads opening up, but if

:25:04. > :25:06.you can end up top of the leaderboard after the first two

:25:07. > :25:11.rounds, you are in a fantastic attacking position. Let's see how

:25:12. > :25:18.much a fact there is from the newly formed pair of Tom Daley and James

:25:19. > :25:25.Denny. Round about the same age, Tom Daley, 20, James Denny, as well. He

:25:26. > :25:32.seems to have been around for a long time. He won the World Championship

:25:33. > :25:40.in the individual at the age of 15. The rudimentary forward one and a

:25:41. > :25:47.half somersault with pike. If you had any questions, how will James

:25:48. > :25:51.Denny Bay, there is your answer. One of the half somersault in the pike

:25:52. > :25:56.position, is he matched for height and strength? Tom Daley has a better

:25:57. > :26:02.time, that is not unusual. A bit of splash from both divers. The

:26:03. > :26:12.execution will be between 8.5 and nine, anything over 52 is excellent.

:26:13. > :26:19.Nine is across the board. Pretty much. The lines through the marks

:26:20. > :26:22.means they do not count. The ones without lines will. A nice, solid

:26:23. > :26:44.start for the English pair. The execution was better from both

:26:45. > :26:52.Australian divers, a ripped entry. It is very echoey in this swimming

:26:53. > :26:57.pool. An open pike, synchronisation is good, execution is better. We

:26:58. > :27:10.might see them nudge in front of the English pair. It is early days yet.

:27:11. > :27:15.The margin is marginal. 0.6, the difference. We saw a medal won by

:27:16. > :27:21.0.5 in the women's. At this stage, it means little. The Malaysian pair

:27:22. > :27:33.won the three metre competition. If you trust your body, you can

:27:34. > :27:36.achieve beyond what your mind can imagine. That is the 18-year-old's

:27:37. > :27:51.motto am a very philosophical. It is pretty good synchronisation.

:27:52. > :27:59.The diver closest to us was a fraction ahead. The judges do not

:28:00. > :28:03.get the replay. He was just winning the race to the water, fractionally.

:28:04. > :28:08.The synchronisation should not be as high as we saw for the Australians

:28:09. > :28:20.and the Englishman. It will not be far off.

:28:21. > :28:31.Here are the Canadians. One of them had a horrendous accident a few

:28:32. > :28:37.years ago, which nearly rendered him paralysed. After retiring, he

:28:38. > :28:54.decided to come back. Here he is at the Commonwealth Games.

:28:55. > :29:01.yet, that was a mirror image all the way down. I was thinking, is this

:29:02. > :29:09.going to be a classic competition? I have got my answer, that was a

:29:10. > :29:15.delight. Four out of four divers executing that exceptionally well.

:29:16. > :29:26.We have quality, not quantity, definitely. There are only four

:29:27. > :29:32.pairs. What kind of competition is that, you may think. But with these

:29:33. > :29:40.scores, it is good. The Australians are good. Until we get to the third

:29:41. > :29:46.round, nothing really starts to move a great deal. We will come to the

:29:47. > :30:06.big tariff dives, with all of the consequent risk.

:30:07. > :30:13.Another partnership here and we will explain that later. James Denny. Tom

:30:14. > :30:34.Daley. It is an interesting choice. They

:30:35. > :30:41.all carry a 2.0 degree of difficulty. There is a slight to

:30:42. > :30:49.scrap the in the synchronisation -- discrepancy. They have just put this

:30:50. > :31:01.together, a bit ragged. So that is good. But they might fall away a

:31:02. > :31:09.touch. Inwards dive -- and inwards dive for

:31:10. > :31:13.Dominic Bedggood and Matthew Mitcham, the ten metre individual

:31:14. > :31:17.champion for that dramatic last round in Beijing. This is more

:31:18. > :31:27.straightforward. The Australians were a bit of in

:31:28. > :31:38.that, they hit the water at the same time, execution was excellent. But

:31:39. > :31:44.there was a different shape. The younger partner opened out a lot

:31:45. > :31:49.earlier. It should get more of an eight foot synchronisation. I think

:31:50. > :31:52.they will be top of the leaderboard, ahead of England.

:31:53. > :31:57.That is the great thing about synchronisation, you are able to

:31:58. > :32:03.look at these at home and you can see they are not quite right.

:32:04. > :32:06.Individual diving, you get very technical things with

:32:07. > :32:14.synchronisation, you can see when things are not right. Ooi Tze Liang

:32:15. > :32:15.and Chew Yiwei, of Malaysia. They have been put together after round

:32:16. > :32:36.one. A reverse dive in Round two. Won good reverse dive in the pike

:32:37. > :32:43.position. Locking their toes, good synchronisation. Good alignment,

:32:44. > :32:51.same distance from the diving board. Malaysia could go top of the

:32:52. > :32:58.leaderboard. Two good solid attempts. So they go joint first

:32:59. > :33:07.with Australia. Three points above the English pairing. Canada still to

:33:08. > :33:19.come who had a very impressive start, Maxim Bouchard and his

:33:20. > :33:28.younger partner, 17-year-old Vincent Riendeau. Three Gold medals/dear. So

:33:29. > :33:36.he must be in decent form -- last year. Reverse dive for Canada. I am

:33:37. > :33:45.impressed with this young pairing. That is an excellent second-round

:33:46. > :33:50.dive in the pike position, Malaysia just performed the same dive.

:33:51. > :33:57.Alignment is good and execution is spot-on, that could be 52, 53. If it

:33:58. > :34:08.is, it is still very and stop and all to play for! Doing very well so

:34:09. > :34:12.far. 105. They are a class act and the best pairing. England are in

:34:13. > :34:17.fourth place and only two medals will be awarded. Canada and

:34:18. > :34:26.Australia in one and two. Joint silver medal. When we get to round

:34:27. > :34:36.three, what is happening with the other pair who should have been

:34:37. > :34:42.here? They both have a synchronised elbow injury on the same side. That

:34:43. > :34:48.is a real shame and I wish them healing wishes. Get better soon.

:34:49. > :34:58.Good to see you back soon. And we have another pair to keep you on

:34:59. > :35:03.your toes. Do not get alarmed yet. The first two Brown is kind of

:35:04. > :35:13.posturing. This is when things get serious. -- rounds, they are kind of

:35:14. > :35:20.posturing. 3.2 four Tom Daley and James Denny. -- the Tom Daley.

:35:21. > :35:26.Excellent synchronisation. Speeds are good. Distance from the diving

:35:27. > :35:37.board are good, the entries are atrocious. Double surfboard moment.

:35:38. > :35:46.Execution will only be seven because of the amount of splash.

:35:47. > :35:53.Synchronisation is good. Yes, I thought it was all right. I thought

:35:54. > :36:04.it was worth a nine. Not according to the judges. Finding life tough in

:36:05. > :36:11.the early stages but three rounds to go.

:36:12. > :36:20.Matthew Mitcham, involved in the three metre before. Back now for the

:36:21. > :36:24.ten metre, a busy week. He did not do the three metre individual that

:36:25. > :36:30.he will do the ten metre platform individual against Tom Daley. That

:36:31. > :36:38.is Australia's and set a Team England leaving the door open. --

:36:39. > :36:44.and serve. The Australians have synchronisation going on. Matthew

:36:45. > :36:52.Mitcham a bit further away from the diving board. His execution is

:36:53. > :37:00.excellent. Dominik does throw up too much splash so he will be penalised.

:37:01. > :37:03.-- Dominic Bedggood. Only a temporary difference between

:37:04. > :37:10.Australia and England. The Jazz hands of Matthew Mitcham! He has an

:37:11. > :37:20.excellent book out, well worth leading. -- well worth buying.

:37:21. > :37:33.Ooi Tze Liang and Chew Yiwei of Malaysia, it in joint second after

:37:34. > :37:41.round two. -- in joint. They will have three and a half somersault to

:37:42. > :37:48.perform. A lower degree in. Chew Yiwei, closest to us, he moved

:37:49. > :37:53.further away. His partner Ooi Tze Liang hits the water first.

:37:54. > :38:06.Execution points will be low for Chew Yiwei. Ooi Tze Liang nailed

:38:07. > :38:13.his. Seven, maybe? 7.5. 8.5 on one side. They have slipped behind

:38:14. > :38:19.England. It is very tight between second and third. Not quite so tight

:38:20. > :38:25.between first and second. This is the pairing that might shake things

:38:26. > :38:33.up. They have not been tested as yet, now they will be. Maxim

:38:34. > :38:40.Bouchard and Vincent Riendeau, of Canada. I am not quite sure on the

:38:41. > :38:45.technique. I have never seen that before, both had their arms above

:38:46. > :38:51.their head as they run to the board, but it seems to work. Different

:38:52. > :38:58.distances from the diving board but that is the best Synchro we have

:38:59. > :39:02.seen. Speed is good, entrance into the water at the same time.

:39:03. > :39:08.the water Eight, bingo! Taxis are hard to come

:39:09. > :39:16.by in Edinburgh but you do not need to hail them just yet, boys! Below

:39:17. > :39:27.Australia and above England. Just railings have got a 7-point

:39:28. > :39:33.advantage. -- the Australians. Nothing really sorting out. Still

:39:34. > :39:47.very tight. The only extra step has been taken by Australia. Brown four

:39:48. > :39:51.of six. -- round. Good support from the Commonwealth nations involved.

:39:52. > :39:57.Not many of them. Malaysia, Australia, England and Scotland. We

:39:58. > :40:04.had to Tonga this morning and New Zealand. -- we had.

:40:05. > :40:11.Those are pretty much all the nations in diving, and I, of course.

:40:12. > :40:34.-- India. What a shame. Looking good so far,

:40:35. > :40:43.great synchronisation. This is James Denny's lack of experience showing.

:40:44. > :40:55.Tom's is worth 7.5, eight, which is good. It is all right, still more to

:40:56. > :41:01.go. They could be critical. Tom looks at the score board, he knew

:41:02. > :41:06.what was coming. Those marks will not help them towards a Gold or

:41:07. > :41:15.silver. These are the current leaders. They will be noting

:41:16. > :41:22.everything around them. Reverse three and a half somersaults. They

:41:23. > :41:33.just have the edge in the rest of the field, marginally. -- edge on.

:41:34. > :41:41.We have almost seen exactly the same thing. The experienced diver Matthew

:41:42. > :41:49.Mitcham, that is clean. Australia map row, less experienced, only 19,

:41:50. > :41:55.he puts his on his face, almost. He over rotates. He will only get a

:41:56. > :42:02.five. So Australia have not capitalised on the error from Tom

:42:03. > :42:08.Daley and James. That has opened the door for Canada. I am not sure we

:42:09. > :42:15.will get a smile from Matthew Mitcham. And his younger partner.

:42:16. > :42:21.They will discuss that with their coach, but they know exactly what

:42:22. > :42:28.they did wrong. Malaysia, they are not out of it. Very much in

:42:29. > :42:32.contention. They had a three in the previous round. 3.2, this time.

:42:33. > :42:51.Waiting for the referee. 3.2 degrees of difficulty, they

:42:52. > :42:56.fourth at the moment. -- degree. If they get this right and project

:42:57. > :43:03.themselves above, they could go into first place. Right on cue!

:43:04. > :43:08.Tremendous effort. I was not sure which way it would go. That is the

:43:09. > :43:21.best dive we have seen. Great synchronisation. Scores that cup --

:43:22. > :43:30.scores that have a cross do not count. There three marks for

:43:31. > :43:37.synchronisation. 83.52. Two marks on the left and 32 -- and three on the

:43:38. > :43:51.right. That will put them in the lead. Malaysia. The most consistent

:43:52. > :44:00.team so far. I will say no more because I always get accused of the

:44:01. > :44:12.commentator's curse. 3.2, Maxim Bouchard and Vincent Riendeau.

:44:13. > :44:25.I take it back! You cannot take it back! As predicted by up, they have

:44:26. > :44:32.been teamed up because they are good -- as predicted by Robert. Synchro

:44:33. > :44:38.is not good, execution is off the mark by one of them. Consistency has

:44:39. > :44:43.now changed to inconsistency. If I was that good, I would be a

:45:03. > :45:03.there is not much between first and second. A gap between second and

:45:55. > :46:01.good, James Denny just over rotating. Throwing up loads of

:46:02. > :46:02.splash. His score will be low, which is a shame, because the

:46:03. > :46:05.synchronisation was good. is a shame, because the

:46:06. > :46:07.be game over for a medal. is a shame, because the

:46:08. > :46:11.only two medals in this is a shame, because the

:46:12. > :46:18.gold and silver being given out. is a shame, because the

:46:19. > :46:23.feel sorry for James Denny. He has not had a lot of time to prepare

:46:24. > :46:30.with Tom Daley. The lack of training time is starting to show, ragged at

:46:31. > :46:38.the edges. Just past the 300 barrier with that. But the dives are

:46:39. > :46:51.completed and intricate, things can go wrong for the other pairs yet.

:46:52. > :46:58.More experienced, but they can still make mistakes. They both went over

:46:59. > :47:05.as they entered the water. A bit easier than their previous dives,

:47:06. > :47:10.3.2. Good synchronisation, but different distances from the diving

:47:11. > :47:16.board as well. A low scoring dive. It keeps everybody in it. Nobody

:47:17. > :47:22.wants to win this! Pete, I know you are watching this at home, maybe we

:47:23. > :47:30.should be in this! I like the idea of you and Gary Lineker! I have a

:47:31. > :47:41.Commonwealth silver and bronze, I need a gold-medal! The Malaysian is,

:47:42. > :47:52.the current leaders. Go on, boys, let's get the quality back-up.

:47:53. > :48:27.That was a bit of a mistake from the current leaders, feeling the

:48:28. > :48:30.pressure. A backward three and a half somersault is in the tuck

:48:31. > :48:35.position. Slightly off on the spinning speeds, and they go way

:48:36. > :48:43.over, so the execution marks will be low. What is going on here? Nobody

:48:44. > :48:49.wants to win this! What is going on here? After a promising start,

:48:50. > :48:55.everybody looked to be in with them, but they have lost their rhythm.

:48:56. > :49:00.When the optional rounds start, things to go here and there. These

:49:01. > :49:03.are the most difficult dives humanly possible, and they start to go

:49:04. > :49:07.wrong. Can somebody right the wrong? Could it be Maxim Bouchard

:49:08. > :49:18.and Vincent Riendeau? 81.15 will give them the lead above

:49:19. > :49:35.Malaysian. I do not think the Canadians want

:49:36. > :49:44.it, as well. He synchronisation is OK, but the execution is off. Flat

:49:45. > :49:49.feet, Boots on, over they go. The diver closest to us throwing a

:49:50. > :49:54.payload of splash. That is a bit better than the Malaysian 's. I

:49:55. > :49:59.wonder where that will put them. It has bunched up again. Only 14 points

:50:00. > :50:08.separates first place from last place. That is OK. They move into

:50:09. > :50:20.third place, just behind the Australians.

:50:21. > :50:30.Australia are very tight with Canada. England have got a lot to

:50:31. > :50:39.do. Seven points behind second place. There is a huge dive to come

:50:40. > :50:43.from James Denny and Tom Daley. Seniority for the man who has been

:50:44. > :50:53.diving at the top level for almost a decade. This is an amazing dive.

:50:54. > :51:02.Let's talk about the intricacies of this. They are going to nail it. In

:51:03. > :51:19.theory! They saved their best till last,

:51:20. > :51:24.getting! Yes! The pressure is on, the place is on their feet, I am on

:51:25. > :51:28.my feet, that is what we needed to put pressure on. That will get way

:51:29. > :51:35.over 90 points. They have smashed it. Will that be good enough for a

:51:36. > :51:40.medal? Three pairs to go. Let's wait and see. There is the gauntlet,

:51:41. > :51:51.let's see what Australia, Malaysia and Canada think to that. I told you

:51:52. > :51:57.it was big. That is big. Where did that come from? That came out of

:51:58. > :52:03.absolutely nowhere. They are celebrating as if they have a medal.

:52:04. > :52:06.Do not count your chickens. They are celebrating nailing one of the

:52:07. > :52:14.hardest dives in the world. In the Commonwealth Games. And they did it

:52:15. > :52:22.with aplomb. The Australians have got a big one of their own. Not

:52:23. > :52:23.quite as high as the English pair, but they have the advantage of quite

:52:24. > :52:37.a few points. They have picked up the gold led!

:52:38. > :52:48.This will be close. This will be close. Which way is it going to go?

:52:49. > :52:52.This is going to be all chart type. My goodness, let's wait and see what

:52:53. > :53:01.the scores are. I cannot split them. That is bang on the money. That is

:53:02. > :53:05.going to get 85 points plus. Can you believe it is Mac the gap between

:53:06. > :53:18.first and second is 0.18. It is in favour of those two.

:53:19. > :53:23.Matthew Mitcham has two silver medals so far. Maybe now considering

:53:24. > :53:29.the prospect of a gold-medal. England cannot win it. Australia

:53:30. > :53:34.still can. There are only two medals, two more pairs to go. It has

:53:35. > :53:40.turned out to be a very eventful ten meter synchro. The quality has not

:53:41. > :53:45.been there until the last two dives, but it is picking up at the right

:53:46. > :53:52.time. A lower tariff dive for the Malaysian 's. 82.2 will put them

:53:53. > :54:08.above the Australians. 82.05 will put them above England.

:54:09. > :54:17.That will not be good enough. That will not get above Australia or

:54:18. > :54:26.England. They are slightly out of time. The execution is off. They

:54:27. > :54:32.will be ten or 20 points behind. A lower degree of difficulty. A good

:54:33. > :54:33.effort, but no medal today. Third place is the best

:54:34. > :54:35.effort, but no medal today. Third they can do, and there is no medal

:54:36. > :54:40.for third. they can do, and there is no medal

:54:41. > :54:44.Only one question remains. Can Canada do it? Australia think they

:54:45. > :54:48.have the God medal, England believe they have the silver medal. Only one

:54:49. > :54:57.pair can prevent that from happening. The equation is

:54:58. > :54:58.straightforward. 90, that is a big ask of Maxim Bouchard and Vincent

:54:59. > :55:08.Riendeau. The degree of difficulty is not high

:55:09. > :55:27.compared to the others. It is good, but that will not be

:55:28. > :55:32.good enough for a medal. They are going to finish third or fourth. The

:55:33. > :55:36.medals will go to Australia and England, and they are split by the

:55:37. > :55:39.narrowest of margins. It is an OK dive.

:55:40. > :55:40.narrowest of margins. It is an OK themselves, but loads of people make

:55:41. > :55:58.mistakes. Amazing. 7.5 and eight on the execution, they

:55:59. > :56:07.finished in fourth place. Malaysian finishing in third place. 0.18 in a

:56:08. > :56:13.400 competition separating Australia and England. Let's say the makeshift

:56:14. > :56:17.partnership of Tom Daley and James Denny, they have pulled it out of

:56:18. > :56:25.Denny, they have pulled it out of the bag with that sixth round dive,

:56:26. > :56:26.with everything looking lost. We had written off their chances of getting

:56:27. > :56:31.a medal, to written off their chances of getting

:56:32. > :56:35.have got a 3.6 in the locker, or a 3.8, all kinds of things are

:56:36. > :56:41.possible. They made it 3.8, all kinds of things are

:56:42. > :56:44.the final round dive. Not quite enough to get

:56:45. > :56:51.the final round dive. Not quite only denied by 0.18. The Australians

:56:52. > :56:55.have picked up minor medals all the way through, they have their first

:56:56. > :57:05.gold medal of the week. Domonic Bedggood and Matthew Mitcham.

:57:06. > :57:13.The Malaysian 's and the Canadians present, but neither of them will

:57:14. > :57:18.get medals. Only a gold and silver awarded, and that will be very soon

:57:19. > :57:25.indeed. That was an interesting competition. It had good, bad and

:57:26. > :57:31.indifferent. The last round is where things start to happen, both the

:57:32. > :57:37.individual and... Let's look at some of the dives of James Denny and Tom

:57:38. > :57:44.Daley. They got it together right at the very end. The smiles back on

:57:45. > :57:50.their faces. The Australian pair putting some very good performances.

:57:51. > :58:25.The Canadian pair started strongly, but at the tariff was increased,

:58:26. > :58:29.but there were mistakes from everybody. The synchronisation was

:58:30. > :58:32.very good. There were some faults on the execution. That is diving. I

:58:33. > :58:38.cannot believe how close it was. Unbelievable. Will they be

:58:39. > :58:44.frustrated, because it was so close? Yes, they smashed their last

:58:45. > :58:49.dive. The roof came off, the place nearly had to be put back together.

:58:50. > :58:53.It was an extraordinary final dive. You have got to do a consistent list

:58:54. > :58:59.of dives. Why was the last dive so good? It carries a difficulty of

:59:00. > :59:06.3.7. It could go disastrously wrong. But when you get it right, they got

:59:07. > :59:11.95 points on it. They went right up to the top spot, but only to be

:59:12. > :59:16.taken by the Australians. The reaction of the rest of England was

:59:17. > :59:21.fantastic. Tom Daley is a global star, and if you are an outsider,

:59:22. > :59:27.you think, I wonder if they think, Tom, Tom, Tom. Clearly, they do not.

:59:28. > :59:32.Every driver that has taken to the board gets the same support. We have

:59:33. > :59:37.got many superstars here, and he is just one of the many. It has been a

:59:38. > :59:42.great performance, and it was almost a gold-medal. It has been difficult

:59:43. > :59:47.for him to find a partner. How important is it to find the perfect

:59:48. > :59:51.partner? I do not know if there is a perfect partner, that there is

:59:52. > :59:56.compatibility. They were put together just to see if they were

:59:57. > :00:01.matched. On the lower boards, they have the potential, but they have

:00:02. > :00:05.different goals this year. They have only had chance to come together

:00:06. > :00:13.now. In the short space of time, they have done really well. This is

:00:14. > :00:22.their second dive, it did not start off great. We were all excited. They

:00:23. > :00:26.were not setting the world alight with those first couple. The second

:00:27. > :00:34.was off the mark. Interesting choice. They are at different

:00:35. > :00:36.speeds. It is rough around the edges. But they have just got

:00:37. > :00:43.together. To be thrown together at the last

:00:44. > :00:49.minute knowing you have potential means you are a rough diamond. But

:00:50. > :00:58.they did do risky dives, how much confidence does that give you? In

:00:59. > :01:02.this pairing, there is potential. And Daniel and Matthew who are not

:01:03. > :01:07.here, that will be great competition. These guys did great

:01:08. > :01:14.competition today, we have two good pairs in England. Congratulations,

:01:15. > :01:18.was that as you expected? We did not know what to expect because we only

:01:19. > :01:22.started training together on Friday. So we have trained for one week and

:01:23. > :01:26.we have done three sessions so happy with that. I just said to James,

:01:27. > :01:31.give it everything. Give it everything you have got and who

:01:32. > :01:41.knows? Everything can happen in diving. I could hear that in the

:01:42. > :01:47.Tate is and I was like, no! -- the commentators. James did a great

:01:48. > :01:52.job. James, your first Commonwealth Games, silver medal, how does that

:01:53. > :01:56.make you feel? Great. The previous two were not what I wanted. But to

:01:57. > :02:03.finish in the dive I did was amazing. Diving alongside Tom Daley,

:02:04. > :02:08.there is expectation. Did you feel the weight of pressure? Yes,

:02:09. > :02:14.throughout the competition, he was giving me things to focus on. So it

:02:15. > :02:21.does help the built throughout the competition. What next, occur one?

:02:22. > :02:28.Considering we nearly went 400 when we only did one good dive, we are

:02:29. > :02:32.going into the European Championships and we will enter the

:02:33. > :02:38.individual and the synchronisation. With more training, we could go far.

:02:39. > :02:46.If this is a rehearsal for Brazil, how far could you go? Who knows? It

:02:47. > :02:48.is diving. Yesterday's competition, the World Cup bronze medallist did a

:02:49. > :02:56.failed dive, anything can happen but we will work as hard as we can to be

:02:57. > :02:59.in good shape. Ben and Chris spent 15 hours playing computer Games! I

:03:00. > :03:07.worry about them! Are you looking forward to tomorrow? Excited, we are

:03:08. > :03:12.going to be diving tomorrow, exciting stuff and it will be tough

:03:13. > :03:16.against Olympic champion Matthew Mitcham. Congratulations, silver

:03:17. > :03:25.medal, we look forward to the next chapter for you two. So Tom defends

:03:26. > :03:32.his title tomorrow, can he retain it? I think so, he is in great form.

:03:33. > :03:37.He has got six dives to do, let's see what happens. I am delighted

:03:38. > :03:43.everybody is smiling, I look forward to watching this partnership. Gary,

:03:44. > :03:45.you are not getting out of this diving, we are looking forward to

:03:46. > :03:49.seeing Gary Lineker in the ten metre!

:03:50. > :03:55.You will have to wait a long time! I can assure you. But there is an old

:03:56. > :04:00.saying, you are only as good as your last dive and that was pretty good.

:04:01. > :04:07.Tom starts his defence of his title tomorrow morning. Lining up

:04:08. > :04:12.alongside him is 14-year-old Matthew Dixon and if all goes well, both of

:04:13. > :04:19.them will be in the final at 7:30pm tomorrow night.

:04:20. > :04:22.And on BBC Three, there is the boxing semifinals. That will

:04:23. > :04:39.continue until ten o'clock. If this wonderful Games has inspired

:04:40. > :04:49.you to find out more about sport, go to the page on the BBC website.

:04:50. > :04:53.There is so much information on all sports, including how to join local

:04:54. > :05:02.clubs, and it is the summer holidays so get involved! There is a great

:05:03. > :05:07.piece on that website and Johns -- in Jazmin Sawyers who took silver

:05:08. > :05:13.last night. Before that, she was a bobsleigh. And we can join Robbie --

:05:14. > :05:19.and we can join Gabby now in Hampden Park.

:05:20. > :05:24.We have sunshine, warm weather and Denise has even requested a fine!

:05:25. > :05:34.You will hear more from these guests soon. -- ban. It is the men's ten K,

:05:35. > :05:35.no Mo Farah but plenty of talent as Steve Cram and Brendan Foster will

:05:36. > :05:43.tell you. It is a big field, which is great to

:05:44. > :05:57.see. It does not include Mo Farah, sadly. He decided not to come to the

:05:58. > :06:03.Commonwealth Games, which is a shame. He is training in high

:06:04. > :06:07.altitude. He will no Kirui who ran against him in the final in 2011.

:06:08. > :06:11.Jonathan Mel are of England's, our against him in the final in 2011.

:06:12. > :06:21.only representative. And Chris Thomson, who is also with Mo Farah,

:06:22. > :06:27.training and trying to recover. And the

:06:28. > :06:32.training and trying to recover. And is here. Kipsiro. From the Isle of

:06:33. > :06:37.Man, his emblem has been sewed onto the back of his shirt. But it is not

:06:38. > :06:52.a commercial emblem! Luke Caldwell of Scotland. Could the Canadian get

:06:53. > :07:09.amongst the leaders? Paul Pollock representing Northern Ireland.

:07:10. > :07:14.Callum Hawkins, from Scotland. We have seen a lot of brothers and

:07:15. > :07:18.sisters competing. His older brother Derek ran in the marathon on the

:07:19. > :07:22.first day of the athletics programme. Griffiths,

:07:23. > :07:29.first day of the athletics Rwanda is well represented here. I

:07:30. > :07:33.said it was Rwanda is well represented here. I

:07:34. > :07:36.the three Kenyan runners will be the ones we watch. This is the Kenyan

:07:37. > :07:57.champion. He might be a good bet. ones we watch. This is the Kenyan

:07:58. > :08:02.Two lines. That is their national emblem, does that need to take top?

:08:03. > :08:09.That is silly! He does win the prize for the best shirt, that is good.

:08:10. > :08:15.Andrew Lemoncello has represented Great Britain in the steeplechase

:08:16. > :08:21.and it is his best events, his performances were pretty good, but

:08:22. > :08:24.he has moved away from that event. We have just seen the steeplechase

:08:25. > :08:35.and he is now running the 10,000 metres. And. The conditions -- and

:08:36. > :08:42.the conditions here are quite warm. This man will not mind that. We see

:08:43. > :08:48.him often on the circuit. Not a great exponent of the 10,000 metres.

:08:49. > :08:57.Andrew Lemoncello. Harry Summers of Australia. This is the second line.

:08:58. > :09:03.Because there are so many athletes, they have to line those guys up.

:09:04. > :09:09.They are not getting a head start. They have to run round the outside.

:09:10. > :09:14.The men's 10,000 metre final, 25 laps in the sunshine in Hampden Park

:09:15. > :09:22.in Glasgow. A lovely evening. If you are going out round bellied Houston

:09:23. > :09:28.Park, -- round the park, it might be tough, it is as warm as we have seen

:09:29. > :09:32.for the last couple of days. Not what the athletes would have been

:09:33. > :09:37.hoping for. Brendan, we would normally sit and talk about the

:09:38. > :09:45.likely dominance of Kenya but look at the three men in this race, Kirui

:09:46. > :09:56.has a good pedigree, he has won the Kenyan Championships. There may have

:09:57. > :10:06.been other Kenya athletes who had the ability to come here. I am not

:10:07. > :10:12.sure whether these three will entirely have this their own way.

:10:13. > :10:18.They are not the three best Kenyan athletes. However, tonight, in a

:10:19. > :10:27.major championship, the Commonwealth Games 10,000 metres, we may see some

:10:28. > :10:32.of them improve on that performance. They are not looking for a fast time

:10:33. > :10:40.and there is no reason to look for a fast time in a championship. Summers

:10:41. > :10:46.of Australia, happy to lead them. They do not get many opportunities

:10:47. > :10:50.to run the 10,000 metres. The crowd are dissipating another strong

:10:51. > :10:59.grace, they are expecting Kenya to feature. -- strong race. Kipsiro is

:11:00. > :11:04.the champion, do not forget. He is defending his title. He could not

:11:05. > :11:06.defend it in the 5,000 metres. Let's see if he can defend it in the

:11:07. > :11:32.10,000 metres. This is the story so far on the

:11:33. > :11:39.other final. -- in. Going clear in his second attempt. The tall

:11:40. > :11:44.Scotsman, annex gymnast. He got to talk for gymnastics. -- a former

:11:45. > :11:51.gymnast. He tried events in gymnastics. In third place

:11:52. > :11:59.currently. Or at this stage, he was. A clearance of five metres 45. He

:12:00. > :12:10.had a bit to spare. Six foot six. That is very tall and pole vaulting.

:12:11. > :12:19.-- in. He is over. A bit of advice from the coach. One of two

:12:20. > :12:27.Englishmen left. Luke Cutts. Very convincing in the early stages. And

:12:28. > :12:40.again, at this height... He looks in control. A clean sheet so far. He

:12:41. > :12:45.has had a neck injury. Many think he is best placed to take the Gold

:12:46. > :12:55.medal this afternoon. We have a Scotsman clear. We also have Luke

:12:56. > :13:03.Cutts who broke the indoor record. Six months ago. This is the other

:13:04. > :13:06.Englishmen, Steve Lewis, fifth in the Olympic Games, bronze medal,

:13:07. > :13:20.silver medal in Delhi. A close shave at 55. He did give

:13:21. > :13:27.that a wobble. Slightly nervous. But it did stay up. Steve Lewis. He does

:13:28. > :13:34.like to feel his weight into a competition. -- feel his way. Luke

:13:35. > :13:39.Cutts is more of a maverick, if I can say that. He throws himself into

:13:40. > :13:51.the competition. Steve Lewis did give it a wobble. Two Englishmen go

:13:52. > :14:01.clear. Surely getting close to the medals? So it is over to the

:14:02. > :14:11.Scotsman. Can he join the two English man? --. Final attempt. My

:14:12. > :14:24.word, that looked as though it stayed! He looks in pain. The result

:14:25. > :14:30.of a failure, a third time failure. It looked as though he had cleared

:14:31. > :14:39.it, but he gave it a wobble and it dislodged the bar from those

:14:40. > :14:43.supports. And the Scotsman, 21 years of age, his competition is over.

:14:44. > :14:50.Fourth place will be confirmed with that previous clearance. Look at

:14:51. > :14:56.this, it is in the way down, his chest. We can see the supports to

:14:57. > :15:01.the side. He goes off sideways and that is a loss of energy. If only

:15:02. > :15:05.that could have gone straight up and down. And it hit him on the head as

:15:06. > :15:25.well. Scottish record, many high hopes for

:15:26. > :15:31.him. He has been in the USA, trying to snatch a medal in the pole vault.

:15:32. > :15:38.One or two of the Scottish athletes in this 10,000 metres raised in the

:15:39. > :15:50.US, Callum Hawkins. The pace has slowed down a bit. They are jogging

:15:51. > :15:55.a bit now. Peter Kirui and Josphat Bett, and Charles Cheruiyot have

:15:56. > :16:01.gone to the front. They are not doing anything yet. The pack

:16:02. > :16:07.squeezes up again. Andrew Lemoncello, the tall figure on the

:16:08. > :16:12.outside, based in America now. He had a good go at the marathon, we

:16:13. > :16:19.have seen him run half marathons before. There he is, in the blue

:16:20. > :16:28.vest of Scotland. Coming up on the outside. Josphat Bett on the inside.

:16:29. > :16:33.And there is Jonathan Mellor, in the red and white vest of England, in

:16:34. > :16:39.the middle of the pack. He is our only representative. This was going

:16:40. > :16:51.to be the Mo Farah show, but we only have one representative. I think Mo

:16:52. > :16:58.Farah misses it. We have got Paul Pollock, he had a great year at the

:16:59. > :17:00.marathon last year, he qualified for the World Championships for Great

:17:01. > :17:07.Britain, running for Northern Ireland tonight. Peter Kirui

:17:08. > :17:15.leading. They are almost 3000 metres, just keep surging. For the

:17:16. > :17:20.British contingent, the Australians, the New Zealanders,

:17:21. > :17:27.they prefer it to be steady. It is a fairly warm night, a lovely night.

:17:28. > :17:28.Mo Farah or not, I am sure the crowd are getting really into this event.

:17:29. > :17:39.Mo Farah or not, I am sure the crowd The wind and contingent well

:17:40. > :17:45.represented. He has not been too far from the lead. It has gone up and

:17:46. > :17:54.down a bit. Charles Cheruiyot has down a bit. Charles Cheruiyot has

:17:55. > :17:57.bit. He will change the down a bit. Charles Cheruiyot has

:17:58. > :18:11.last few laps, down a bit. Charles Cheruiyot has

:18:12. > :18:19.69.4, you want the early laps, when it is not too hard, keep your eyes

:18:20. > :18:22.away from the lap scorer. If you are feeling tired, you look at it and it

:18:23. > :18:30.can affect you. The other two Scottish athletes in there, Luke

:18:31. > :18:36.Caldwell, and Callum Hawkins, from the barking athletic club, a big

:18:37. > :18:41.football fan. He supports the great football club submarine. There is

:18:42. > :18:52.Jonathan Mellor and Andrew Lemoncello.

:18:53. > :18:58.You can see the athletes going around the top end, where the

:18:59. > :19:05.pole-vault continues. We are back live, we have seen three failures

:19:06. > :19:08.from the Englishman, which means there is a jump off. Two of the

:19:09. > :19:28.Englishman going for gold. Both of them knocked it off on the

:19:29. > :19:40.first attempt. Luke Cutts will go again. And unfortunate first failure

:19:41. > :19:44.for Steve Lewis. The pole-vault keeping the crowd entertained on the

:19:45. > :19:51.top vendor. The athletes are heading towards them on the back straight.

:19:52. > :19:59.You can see the pace is being picked up initially by Charles Cheruiyot.

:20:00. > :20:04.He is now just watching and waiting. The three Kenyans, we were talking

:20:05. > :20:10.about whether Peter Kirui and Josphat Bett and Charles Cheruiyot

:20:11. > :20:16.were at the best standard. They have got good pedigree, when Josphat Bett

:20:17. > :20:22.one World Junior Championship is, he ran a startling time. He did improve

:20:23. > :20:28.from that. When Mo Farah broke the British record in 2011, this guy was

:20:29. > :20:32.third. He was with Mo Farah at the start of the last lap, but he has

:20:33. > :20:36.not developed from there. This is an effort from Josphat Bett to break

:20:37. > :20:44.this up. He has followed Charles Cheruiyot through. The field is now

:20:45. > :20:50.completely stretched. Yes, that was a 65 second lap, by far the fastest

:20:51. > :20:56.of the race so far. The gaps are opening, stretching a little. You

:20:57. > :21:01.have got to hold it all the way back along the back straight.

:21:02. > :21:03.have got to hold it all the way back Bett looking strong. They are

:21:04. > :21:09.passing the pole-vault, we have got our eye on Steve Lewis and who.

:21:10. > :21:16.Josphat Bett leading get at the moment. A bit further down the

:21:17. > :21:21.field, Andrew Lemoncello struggling a bit. The Canadian is looking

:21:22. > :21:24.comfortable. Keith Gerard started to struggle. As is Paul Pollock, and

:21:25. > :21:41.Callum Hawkins. That is a slower lap. They are going

:21:42. > :21:45.quick, easing off, going quick. It is not always the easiest way to run

:21:46. > :21:55.it. Josphat Bett letting people know how he feels. The bar has been

:21:56. > :22:07.lowered. The first man to go clear will win. Luke Cutts at 5.55.

:22:08. > :22:28.A really interesting battle pole-vault. The two English athletes

:22:29. > :22:31.going for the gold medal. Who is going to win the gold medal?

:22:32. > :22:38.Remember the race in going to win the gold medal?

:22:39. > :22:44.2002, the 10,000 metres, three of them, it was a brilliant sprint over

:22:45. > :22:48.the last lap. The three medals were in doubt until the last three or

:22:49. > :22:51.four strides. I wonder whether we are in for something like this,

:22:52. > :22:59.because you would not want to pick a winner, even the three Kenyans. They

:23:00. > :23:04.have had an easy ride so far, it has been comfortable. A bit of a change

:23:05. > :23:14.of pace, but regular laps. Coming up to the halfway point.

:23:15. > :23:23.A lot of these athletes in this field will be comfortable at that

:23:24. > :23:28.pace. The second half of the race, you would suggest it would be faster

:23:29. > :23:34.than the first half. There are a few athletes who can run in that matter

:23:35. > :23:46.-- in that manner. Steve Lewis for the gold medal. He is clear!

:23:47. > :23:53.England's Steve Lewis is clear. It is the equivalent of a penalty shoot

:23:54. > :23:58.out, 5.55. A jump off, and the man who took the silver medal four years

:23:59. > :24:03.ago now has the full set, to add to his bronze medal in 2006. A

:24:04. > :24:06.wonderful competition, it is a gold medal for Steve Lewis, and a silver

:24:07. > :24:20.medal for Luke Cutts. The cross of St George already

:24:21. > :24:26.draped around his shoulders. What that must mean for Luke Cutts. --

:24:27. > :24:32.for Steve Lewis! Fifth in the Olympic Games in 2012. Luke Cutts,

:24:33. > :24:39.that is the equivalent of a dead heat. Going to almost a photo

:24:40. > :24:48.finish. Steve Lewis, huge congratulations. 28 years of age. It

:24:49. > :24:55.could not have been tighter. It was a wonderful clearance in the end,

:24:56. > :25:06.5.55. Maybe his experience told ahead of this man, two. -- Luke

:25:07. > :25:14.Cutts. 26 years of age. I am looking down the list, this man took the

:25:15. > :25:26.bronze medal. It was a gold medal for Steve Lewis. What a moment for

:25:27. > :25:33.Steve Lewis, he has had a difficult year. I have spoken to whom a couple

:25:34. > :25:40.of times. What a brilliant evening for him. A penalty shoot out, Steve

:25:41. > :25:46.said, in the pole-vault. A gold for England and Steve Lewis. The new

:25:47. > :25:53.leader, from Rwanda. He is in the front here, leading from Peter

:25:54. > :26:01.Kirui, Jake Robertson, the New Zealander, who fell in the 5000

:26:02. > :26:04.metres, and Moses Kipsiro moving up. The Ugandan is starting to take

:26:05. > :26:09.closer order. The defending champion in eighth place, in the red. He

:26:10. > :26:17.senses the race is beginning to get moving. We have got Dewi Griffiths

:26:18. > :26:22.being lapped. Nothing happening yet, nobody is trying to win this yet or

:26:23. > :26:29.completely break up the group. So many men in contention. There is no

:26:30. > :26:31.strong favourite, no athlete here who has come to this race thinking,

:26:32. > :26:37.I will be the one. We have been who has come to this race thinking,

:26:38. > :26:41.to watching Mo Farah running these big races. We have been used

:26:42. > :26:45.to watching Mo Farah running these approach, saying, I am going to

:26:46. > :26:47.control it from my position and come out in the last lap and when it.

:26:48. > :26:53.There is uncertainty here, lots of out in the last lap and when it.

:26:54. > :26:55.athlete running well, lots of athlete capable of running well, but

:26:56. > :27:02.nobody has imposed themselves on this event. Peter Kirui leading.

:27:03. > :27:09.Just feeling OK. But nothing much happening at all. It is good to see

:27:10. > :27:14.Jake Robertson, after his fall in the 5000 metres, taking close order.

:27:15. > :27:21.The race beginning to start, nine laps to go. Peter Kirui is leading,

:27:22. > :27:25.we have just seen a gold medal in the pole-vault for England, and we

:27:26. > :27:27.can bring you up to date with what happened in the women's high jump

:27:28. > :27:35.earlier on this evening. It was perfect conditions. It concluded

:27:36. > :27:46.earlier. It was the tall figure of Isobel Pooley. She is 1.91 metres

:27:47. > :27:54.tall. This height is 1.92. The first time she has ever looked up to a

:27:55. > :27:57.bar. Look at her reaction. That went into the lead. First-time clearances

:27:58. > :28:06.right through. A personal best. At that time, it

:28:07. > :28:19.was the best. A personal best. At that time, it

:28:20. > :28:29.raised the bar to 1.94. She went clear. 18 years of age, she opted to

:28:30. > :28:43.come here instead of the world junior games. I am sure the winner

:28:44. > :28:52.of the world junior games... It was close, because Spencer skipped 1.94.

:28:53. > :28:54.of the world junior games... It was She had this final attempt at 1.96.

:28:55. > :29:01.The 30-year-old from St Lucia. was not a gold medal tonight. She

:29:02. > :29:09.took the bronze medal between -- behind Isobel Pooley, which handed

:29:10. > :29:14.the gold medal to Elaine Patterson. It would have an achievement for

:29:15. > :29:19.Isobel Pooley. Her coach told me she was in shape. Boy, was he right.

:29:20. > :29:41.Well done. here. They are really beginning to

:29:42. > :29:52.get warmed up by the 10,000 metres. We have less than seven laps to go.

:29:53. > :30:00.Kirui has been the leader for the last few laps, and his team-mate,

:30:01. > :30:34.Bett, has been behind him. Slowly it is getting quicker. Six

:30:35. > :30:40.laps to go, and when they get down to four or five, they start thinking

:30:41. > :30:44.about their plans. The group is getting smaller, just by constant

:30:45. > :30:49.pace. The pace of the second half is clearly faster than the first half.

:30:50. > :30:53.There are now nine in that group. All of the big Kenyans, as expected,

:30:54. > :31:02.are there. Jake Robinson of New Zealand is there. Evans of Canada is

:31:03. > :31:12.also running well. Well, this man, Kirui, he is making his living on

:31:13. > :31:15.the roads. In April, he ran a personal best in the half marathon

:31:16. > :31:26.in Prague, and he ended up in Honolulu one week later. That is how

:31:27. > :31:30.these Kenyans are sometimes racing these days. I am not sure the

:31:31. > :31:44.Commonwealth Games was in his plans, back in April. But here is. The

:31:45. > :31:47.Canadian at the back of the lead group, who trains with Mo Farah, and

:31:48. > :32:13.may have a little bit of pace. of England has dropped out.

:32:14. > :32:18.BRENDAN FOSTER: This is getting interesting now. In amongst that

:32:19. > :32:22.group is the champion. We know he is quick at the finish. We know he is

:32:23. > :32:28.not running against the very best in the world, as he has done on the

:32:29. > :32:31.last few occasions. Cam Levins of Canada, and the other Canadian in

:32:32. > :32:41.there as well. And Jake Robinson, well, him and his brother have done

:32:42. > :32:55.a good job in this last week. Jake is taking on these Kenyans. Well, he

:32:56. > :32:59.knows them well, he lives - there! They have emigrated from New Zealand

:33:00. > :33:06.to live there. Now, the gaps are opening.

:33:07. > :33:25.STEVE CRAM: Ahmed of Canada just moved up as well. So, Robertson,

:33:26. > :33:28.tucked in on the inside. The Canadian, who ran in the World

:33:29. > :33:32.Championships last year in Moscow, and finished ninth. And now, he goes

:33:33. > :33:36.to the front for the first time. When they come round, there will be

:33:37. > :33:42.three laps to go. He is trying to break this group up, Ahmed. The

:33:43. > :33:53.defending champion, Kipsiro, still in that group. Ahmed hit the front,

:33:54. > :33:56.which almost brought them to life. Three laps to go in the Menston

:33:57. > :34:03.thousand metres. And there is a group of eight athletes in

:34:04. > :34:08.contention. You would not like to put a bet on where this one is going

:34:09. > :34:12.to go. We do not know enough about these athletes, and their finishing.

:34:13. > :34:17.They very rarely run against each other in competitive races like

:34:18. > :34:17.this. We see them running in the Diamond

:34:18. > :34:24.this. We see them running in the the 10,000m is not a common event in

:34:25. > :34:29.the Diamond League. Cam Levins moving through. And I think he and

:34:30. > :34:34.Jake Robinson are doing the right thing, trying to split up the

:34:35. > :34:41.Kenyans. Well, it is starting to get moving, in terms of the tension. We

:34:42. > :34:47.are into the last 1000 metres. The three Kenyans, with Cam Levins

:34:48. > :34:51.looking ominous. Mohammed Ahmed, his team-mate, is looking tired, as is

:34:52. > :34:57.the defending champion, Kipsiro, but do not write him off just yet. With

:34:58. > :35:01.two laps to go, the New Zealander does not have the pace of some of

:35:02. > :35:05.the other athletes. Cam Levins will be getting more and more confident,

:35:06. > :35:08.I think. He needs to make sure that he either covers the move or makes

:35:09. > :35:12.the right move himself. The Kenyans are good, but these are not the

:35:13. > :35:15.quickest sprinting Kenyans that we know. And Cam Levins may be able

:35:16. > :35:27.quickest sprinting Kenyans that we cause them a bit of a problem. Well,

:35:28. > :35:32.the pace is still only 67. They still have not done anything just it

:35:33. > :35:37.is not excessively hard. It is going to be quick, we know that, it has to

:35:38. > :35:41.be quick, to sort this one out. Medals are available. There was a

:35:42. > :35:46.little bit of a push. In the old days you used to be told to move

:35:47. > :35:50.out. That clearly is not a convention any more. Now, who is

:35:51. > :35:55.going to make the first move? The training partner of Mo Farah, Cam

:35:56. > :35:59.Levins, has he got the speed of Mo Farah? Jake Robinson is making the

:36:00. > :36:04.first move! There goes Robinson, in the famous black vest of New

:36:05. > :36:12.Zealand! It is interesting what is happening now. Kirui is holding him

:36:13. > :36:15.off. Charles Cheruiyot is still there, as indeed is the

:36:16. > :36:20.off. Charles Cheruiyot is still champion, who has just gone past his

:36:21. > :36:24.team-mate. Moses Kipsiro at the back of the group, and he can kick. Has

:36:25. > :36:29.he got anything left in his legs? Look at Kipsiro, in the red!

:36:30. > :36:35.Robinson has gone. It is one from Canada, one from Uganda, three from

:36:36. > :36:40.Kenya. Look at Cam Levins! He stretches out! They are chasing him.

:36:41. > :36:45.Kipsiro, the defending champion, does not want to give this up

:36:46. > :36:52.easily. Levins, has he got the power? Taking on Bett and Kipsiro!

:36:53. > :36:57.This would be a big surprise! Kipsiro looking for room on the

:36:58. > :37:04.inside. Levins kicks again. Can he lasted out? Kipsiro on the inside!

:37:05. > :37:13.Who wins it? Kipsiro! In the last stride! I think the defending

:37:14. > :37:18.champion, on the inside, as won his second Commonwealth title. The

:37:19. > :37:24.Kenyan arms are up. Well, I think Kipsiro wins that, Brendan. Bett

:37:25. > :37:30.does not know it. Maybe he did not see him. But if I was a betting man,

:37:31. > :37:36.which of course neither of us are, I would say Kipsiro has got that one.

:37:37. > :37:43.He has got it! It is on the screen! It is on the screen, the defending

:37:44. > :37:46.champion, not a great run in the 5,000m, but there

:37:47. > :37:52.champion, not a great run in the down. I do not know if he knows yet.

:37:53. > :37:57.The camera is on the champion, he has defended his title just what a

:37:58. > :38:00.finish that was, what a race it was in the latter stages. It was not a

:38:01. > :38:07.classic, that it was a fantastic last lap. Moses Kipsiro, and I

:38:08. > :38:10.remember Mo Farah telling me, you do not want Moses Kipsiro near you in

:38:11. > :38:20.the finishing straight. You have got to run the finish out of him. He won

:38:21. > :38:23.the 5,000m and 10,000m in Delhi. And there are his supporters. Another

:38:24. > :38:27.gold medal for Moses Kipsiro just look at the strapping on his knee,

:38:28. > :38:38.he has clearly got a problem with his leg. He was never close to the

:38:39. > :38:42.front at all. Levins, in third place, the bronze medal, and he is

:38:43. > :38:51.happy with that. He nearly won it, he really did. He just did not do

:38:52. > :39:04.enough in the back straight. So, Kipsiro celebrating. The three

:39:05. > :39:07.Kenyans. Here we are, 500 metres to go. There are those Jake Robinson of

:39:08. > :39:12.New go. There are those Jake Robinson of

:39:13. > :39:18.for home. Can he make it? At this point, look at Kipsiro, about seven.

:39:19. > :39:22.And on the outside, Cam Levins is getting ready to make his run. He

:39:23. > :39:29.really looks as though he has done enough leading. But on the outside,

:39:30. > :39:35.they are still in contention, and look at Kipsiro. Look at that burst

:39:36. > :39:44.on the outside. Ahmet almost tripped. Kipsiro is in fourth place,

:39:45. > :39:47.and Levins has made his move. Look at those lapped runners, they really

:39:48. > :39:55.should have moved out of the way, but they didn't. So, here comes

:39:56. > :40:00.Levins, with Bett on his shoulder. Kipsiro on the inside, looking for a

:40:01. > :40:07.chance. There is yet. As they chase down. Levins But he has run out of

:40:08. > :40:12.chance. There is yet. As they chase legs. That little space on the

:40:13. > :40:19.inside, and Kipsiro slips through. Bett thinks he has won it, and

:40:20. > :40:22.almost slows. Kipsiro, running like a sprinter, crosses the line, wins

:40:23. > :40:27.the gold medal, like he has done before.

:40:28. > :40:33.STEVE CRAM: Well, he is the only man ever to have defended either the six

:40:34. > :40:36.mile or the 10,000m title. Paula Radcliffe, you must have enjoyed

:40:37. > :40:42.that finish. Cam Levins, we know him well, he was leading for a bit.

:40:43. > :40:47.PAULA RADCLIFFE: Yes, you have got to feel for him. He just slightly

:40:48. > :40:51.misjudged that race, but he went for it and gave it everything he had. In

:40:52. > :40:56.these closing stages, he knows he has got Kipsiro on his inside, and

:40:57. > :41:02.you can see him trying to maintain his form. One of those Sprint drills

:41:03. > :41:09.which Alberto has him going through, when he is doing the training with

:41:10. > :41:12.Mo Farah. But he just cannot quite yet enough to hold off Kipsiro, who

:41:13. > :41:20.is desperately reaching for that line. And he holds onto his title

:41:21. > :41:25.from four years ago. Restore thinks he has won it on the outside, but

:41:26. > :41:31.Kipsiro just nips through on the inside. When he thinks about it, I

:41:32. > :41:42.think Cam Levins will be happy with the bronze medal.

:41:43. > :41:46.Well, that is Uganda's first medal inside the stadium. The winning

:41:47. > :41:48.margin was less than the winning margin in the 100m - how about

:41:49. > :42:01.that? GABBY LOGAN: What a finish. Michael

:42:02. > :42:08.made the point that Levins let's Kipsiro incomer doesn't he? I do not

:42:09. > :42:12.know. He is working so hard on trying to maintain his form. I do

:42:13. > :42:16.not think he looked up at the screen, I think he was just

:42:17. > :42:20.thinking, keep my form, keep my shoulders, give it everything I have

:42:21. > :42:28.got. Bett thinks he has won it, but Kipsiro does it, he has been taking

:42:29. > :42:32.tips from Colin Jackson! MICHAEL JOHNSON: One of the things

:42:33. > :42:39.of doing the relay is, you hold the inside of your lane. He is on the

:42:40. > :42:43.outside of his lane, which allows the other one through. If he was on

:42:44. > :42:48.the inside of his lane, then Kipsiro has got to go around the peril of

:42:49. > :42:53.them. Yes, I think he just went slightly wide as he came into the

:42:54. > :42:58.straight. Had he moved in then, he might have got tripped from behind.

:42:59. > :43:03.I think he was just trying to give everything that he could. Let's go

:43:04. > :43:07.to find out what the winner has got to say.

:43:08. > :43:14.Moses come a tremendous performance, you have defended your gold medal -

:43:15. > :43:23.described your emotions. I am very happy, and I thank God. I was not

:43:24. > :43:29.expecting this. I have been having a lot of injuries, the knee was very

:43:30. > :43:33.painful. So, I say, no, I am not going to take part in this. But

:43:34. > :43:39.something deep inside was telling me, you can do it. You can make it.

:43:40. > :43:46.And then I stuck to it, and really, I am very happy now. I am glad you

:43:47. > :43:50.listened to that voice inside your head, because you won another gold

:43:51. > :43:58.medal. You saw the space on the inside and you took it. Yes, coming

:43:59. > :44:05.to 300 metres, I was feeling, I have still got enough energy. 200, 100m

:44:06. > :44:10.to go, I say, no, I need to put all my energy to the finishing line. I

:44:11. > :44:15.took the chance on the inside line and I say, God help me, let me push,

:44:16. > :44:25.push, push. When I got to the finishing line, it was just amazing.

:44:26. > :44:32.Isobel Pooley there. She comes away with a silver medal from the high

:44:33. > :44:40.jump. That is great progress for her, Denise Lewis, isn't it? It is.

:44:41. > :44:44.Once you are over 1.90, I guess, in the Commonwealth, you are going to

:44:45. > :44:51.get away with it. But she is still young, still working out the

:44:52. > :44:54.technique. Would she have expected that silver medal? I do not think

:44:55. > :45:09.so. It is about being competitive, and she certainly did that. She has

:45:10. > :45:15.got a range of options to pursue, hasn't she? Absolutely. She won the

:45:16. > :45:19.world Junior Championships, clearing 1.93, so it would have been great to

:45:20. > :45:27.see her in this competition, but again, you make your choices. But

:45:28. > :45:31.great for the English athlete nonetheless. And Eleanor Patterson

:45:32. > :46:39.of Australia took gold. We move swiftly on to the 800m. Last

:46:40. > :46:44.night, we saw David Rudisha pipped by Amos who took the gold for

:46:45. > :46:48.Botswana. It was a thrilling race. The women now are going to do battle

:46:49. > :46:59.over two laps. There is plenty of home nations interest. Jessica Judd

:47:00. > :47:05.what a young talent she is. Listen to the noise. Jenny Meadows just a

:47:06. > :47:13.hints she's getting some of her pace back. Lindsay sharp sets off at a

:47:14. > :47:19.decent pace. As the rain pours down and the crowd cheer for the English

:47:20. > :47:27.women, Jessica Judd on the outside. Lindsay Sharp is struggling. Jenny

:47:28. > :47:31.Meadows looks comfortable. Jess Judd being roared by the great crowd.

:47:32. > :47:35.She's not going to make it unless she does something Judd finish

:47:36. > :47:42.miraculous. Ing quickly. I don't know why she left things as late as

:47:43. > :47:48.she did. Paula, you mentor Jess Judd. What

:47:49. > :47:51.have been your final words? Relish being here. Take the energy from the

:47:52. > :47:56.crowd and just run from your heart. Of course we want that for all the

:47:57. > :48:00.home nations runners. Here's Steve Cram.

:48:01. > :48:14.What a race we have in prospect here. What an opportunity for the

:48:15. > :48:16.home nations. Tough qualifications. They are all up against the world

:48:17. > :48:47.champion in lane three. So, Jenny Meadows at 33 years of

:48:48. > :48:53.age, a European indoor champion, a world indoor Silver Medal, a world

:48:54. > :48:58.bronze medal outdoor, European bronze medal, one of our best ever

:48:59. > :49:03.800m runners, still looking to come and try to steal a medal, hold off

:49:04. > :49:07.the charge of the youngsters. She's still a junior, Jess Judd, but she's

:49:08. > :49:12.got a huge future ahead of her. What can she do here? Her coach will be

:49:13. > :49:22.probably the most nervous man in the stadium. Listen to the roar now for

:49:23. > :49:27.Scotland's Lynsey Sharp. Her dad won bronze medals in the 100 and 200 in

:49:28. > :49:32.Brisbane in 1982. He will be so proud today. Melissa Bishop could

:49:33. > :49:41.upset the home country party here. May well get amongst the medals.

:49:42. > :49:48.Nanyondo has run so many personal bets this year. She's one of the

:49:49. > :49:53.best in the world. Sum, her only defeat in the Monaco Diamond League

:49:54. > :50:05.just before these championships. The world champion is the favourite,

:50:06. > :50:10.Nikki Hamblin. In the 1500 she was fifth, is in the final here. Her

:50:11. > :50:20.team-mate, Angela Simt fifth, is in the final here. Her

:50:21. > :50:24.inside. Mit on the inside. Aggie Wilson was the world junior champion

:50:25. > :50:28.and finished second to the world junior champion was Jessica Judd.

:50:29. > :50:32.and finished second to the world Jess Judd, can she do what Wilson

:50:33. > :50:36.and finished second to the world champion? Can Jenny Meadows get in

:50:37. > :50:43.there or Lynsey Sharp do it for Scotland? The women's 800 metre

:50:44. > :50:54.final t'work laps of the track. All -- final. Two laps of the track.

:50:55. > :51:00.It's easier said than done. It's about judgment in this. Even the

:51:01. > :51:04.great one cans get it wrong. -- great ones can get it wrong.

:51:05. > :51:11.Nanyondo slots in behind. Meadows there as well. First 200m was fairly

:51:12. > :51:17.swift but not too fast. About 27, for the first 200m. Sum knows what

:51:18. > :51:19.she's doing. She's moved there. She's moved quickly. Meadows is

:51:20. > :51:24.alongside her. That's an aggressive She's moved quickly. Meadows is

:51:25. > :51:30.move from Jenny, Judd in a good place there, in the middle. Holding

:51:31. > :51:33.on the inside, Sharp of Scotland, running shorely. -- strongly. It's

:51:34. > :51:40.about pace judgment. It's about trying to run as even paced as you

:51:41. > :51:45.can. 28. 2 for the first 400 metres. Sum has slowed in the second 200m.

:51:46. > :51:49.Jenny Meadows is in a good place. They have to come the long way

:51:50. > :51:51.round. Jessica Judd jud is running a fine race here, getting

:51:52. > :51:54.round. Jessica Judd jud is running a make a move, getting ready to

:51:55. > :51:59.attack. And Lynsey Sharp has got to be careful here. Sharp in a bad

:52:00. > :52:02.there. Bishop on the outside and Judd. Sharp needs to look for room.

:52:03. > :52:05.Meadows, has she got the legs? Judd. Sharp needs to look for room.

:52:06. > :52:10.Nanyondo looking for room on the inside. Sum at the front, there to

:52:11. > :52:14.be shot at and attacked. Judd did it in the Diamond League. Can she come

:52:15. > :52:18.around and win this. Smit of New Zealand going well. On the outside,

:52:19. > :52:22.Sum, the world champion, in the front, looks around, sees the

:52:23. > :52:26.danger. Here comes Lynsey Sharp. Finds the room on the outside.

:52:27. > :52:30.Nanyondo, holding off in second at the moment. The world champion kicks

:52:31. > :52:35.away. She's going to become the Commonwealth champion. Who will come

:52:36. > :52:44.second? Nanyondo trying to hang on. Lynsey Sharp might just get there.

:52:45. > :52:49.Nanyondo takes the bronze. Well judged Lynsey Sharp, down the back

:52:50. > :52:54.straight, she didn't panic. She waited for the room to come, for the

:52:55. > :52:57.gaps to appear and she did what she always does, what she did in

:52:58. > :53:03.qualification yesterday, when she gets into the home straight, she

:53:04. > :53:09.never gives up. Jess Judd, the 19-year-old will have more days to

:53:10. > :53:17.come. I know she will. This was a brave, brave run from Lynsey Sharp.

:53:18. > :53:21.The world champion is a true worthy Gold Medallist in the -- and the

:53:22. > :53:25.Commonwealth champion, there she is. It was really a question, show,

:53:26. > :53:33.could anybody else get close, well, maybe not. Then it was shall could

:53:34. > :53:40.you -- then it was - could you get a medal? Lynsey Sharp charged. An

:53:41. > :53:44.impressive performance by the world champion to become the Commonwealth

:53:45. > :53:50.champion, but a real emotional evening here in Glasgow for Lynsey

:53:51. > :53:56.Sharp, whose father Cameron Sharp is here watching her. Her mother Carol

:53:57. > :54:02.is here too. And she's found it tough in the semifinal, but today, I

:54:03. > :54:09.think she judged it equally. She's run a very, very even race. The

:54:10. > :54:12.first 200m was quick and from then on, they were slowing down. I think

:54:13. > :54:20.Nanyondo ran a great race. She on, they were slowing down. I think

:54:21. > :54:28.that she was going to get a medal. Sum was the one to beat. There's

:54:29. > :54:33.Lynsey Sharp. The crowd in Hampden Park now becoming a famous athletics

:54:34. > :54:37.stadium and Jenny Meadows, the elder stateswoman leading Jessica Judd,

:54:38. > :54:41.who to be honest, at the age of 19, you've got to say she ran a fine

:54:42. > :54:45.race. She did everything she could. She gave it everything. She's got

:54:46. > :54:50.nothing to worry about. She's got a great future ahead of her. Jenny

:54:51. > :54:54.Meadows, well, we may not see her at a major championship after this

:54:55. > :54:59.year, but Lynsey Sharp is really enjoying this. These people have

:55:00. > :55:04.come here, there's a million flags out here, Scottish flags, and she's

:55:05. > :55:10.enjoying every moment of it. She's had a tough time recently, but this

:55:11. > :55:14.has been terrific. Really, really fantastic moments in her young

:55:15. > :55:23.athletic career. She's already the European champion. Commonwealth

:55:24. > :55:29.Silver Medallist. Great shots there. Her amongst her friends and there's

:55:30. > :55:33.her mother, Carol. It's been a hard time for them. You know, she's had

:55:34. > :55:38.all sorts of problems this year. Really bad. She's been hospitalised.

:55:39. > :55:45.A wound which never really healed properly. It's been such a difficult

:55:46. > :55:50.year. She is somebody who has not always wanted to tell her story, but

:55:51. > :55:52.it's well known in athletics circles and she's got better and better

:55:53. > :55:56.through the season. She was struggling at the beginning of the

:55:57. > :55:59.season even to make the Scottish qualifier time. She raced and raced

:56:00. > :56:04.and raced and got herself into great shape. Even yesterday, you know, she

:56:05. > :56:08.looked as though she was run out of it. She was in tears after first

:56:09. > :56:11.round, after the first semifinal, because she thought she hadn't run

:56:12. > :56:16.well enough to get into the final. What a performance tonight. It was

:56:17. > :56:23.about timing tonight for Lynsey Sharp. The world champion leads.

:56:24. > :56:28.Jenny Meadows went a big quickly on the first lap. Nanyondo of Uganda

:56:29. > :56:35.running well there. Jessica Judd is in a good place. Lynsey Sharp on the

:56:36. > :56:38.inside is really trapped. It's about controlling it, about keeping that

:56:39. > :56:45.pace going, keeping the even splits because that's the way to run the

:56:46. > :56:50.800m. At 400m, she was sixth. Coming up to 600 m, she's moving into

:56:51. > :56:55.fifth. She's moving through gradually. She's not accelerating

:56:56. > :57:00.yet, not panicking at all. There, at this point, there's a medal

:57:01. > :57:04.available. The two Africans are amongst the finest. Now where is

:57:05. > :57:10.Lynsey Sharp going to move. Here she is. Into the finishing straight and

:57:11. > :57:14.then Jessica Judd comes under pressure. Jenny Meadows comes under

:57:15. > :57:20.pressure. Now the battle is for a medal. Lynsey Sharp moving into a

:57:21. > :57:24.medal position but she doesn't just want a medal, she wants the best she

:57:25. > :57:31.can get. The world champion is away, the race is over for the Gold Medal.

:57:32. > :57:37.But this second place is a battle and a real fantastic production on

:57:38. > :57:42.the last 20 m there. Lynsey Sharp coming through, like a sprinter,

:57:43. > :57:47.look at her. On the outside, she knows she's just got to keep going,

:57:48. > :57:51.keep accelerating and Jessica Judd fading now at this point. Lynsey

:57:52. > :57:54.Sharp could have settled there for the bronze. She didn't want the

:57:55. > :58:00.bronze. She wanted as good as she could get. There's the Gold

:58:01. > :58:05.Medallist Eunice Sum. The best in the world. Into the straight here

:58:06. > :58:07.comes Lynsey Sharp. Jessica Judd fading away. What a race between

:58:08. > :58:09.these two. Look at fading away. What a race between

:58:10. > :58:12.these two. Look Lynsey Sharp, she looks like a sprinter. She's running

:58:13. > :58:18.like a sprinter and the stadium are on their feet at this point. She's

:58:19. > :58:21.given them a great race. She's given them a great evening. She's given

:58:22. > :58:30.Scotland a Silver Medal. Well done, Lynsey Sharp. She can hardly believe

:58:31. > :58:35.it. I'm not sure what she has written on her hand. I don't know if

:58:36. > :58:41.it was instructions. It begins with "get". What she got as a Silver

:58:42. > :58:45.Medal. I'm told it says, "Get out strong. Commit." What she certainly

:58:46. > :58:50.did do was commit. What a performance from Lynsey Sharp.

:58:51. > :58:52.did do was commit. What a Eunice Sum is the Commonwealth

:58:53. > :59:04.champion. When a gutsy run from Sharp.

:59:05. > :59:07.Nanyondo is a developing young athlete, she

:59:08. > :59:13.Nanyondo is a developing young same goes for Jess Judd. Jenny

:59:14. > :59:20.Meadows in sixth place. GABBY LOGAN: We expected and Lindsay

:59:21. > :59:23.delivered. It was a fantastic race. Get out strong, commit. They're the

:59:24. > :59:29.instructions and she followed them to the letter. She did get out

:59:30. > :59:32.strongly and she did commit. The most important thing she did out

:59:33. > :59:39.there was not panic and just bide her time. She hasn't got room for

:59:40. > :59:42.all that on her hand. If this race went out fast, which it did, people

:59:43. > :59:48.are going to start tying up and people are going to die in the

:59:49. > :59:51.closing stages. Watch out for people like Nikki Hamblin and Sharp who

:59:52. > :59:55.like to make a strong run in the final straight. That's exactly what

:59:56. > :59:59.she did. Down the back straight, she's a little bit boxed. She's in a

:00:00. > :00:03.little trouble there. Jess Judd is on the outside. She can't quite

:00:04. > :00:08.move. Because Jess hasn't started her kick, she's boxed at that point.

:00:09. > :00:13.She doesn't panic. She waits. She knows or is thinking that at this

:00:14. > :00:17.point, Jenny might start drifting back towards her. Sum is kicking

:00:18. > :00:23.hard off the front. Now Jessica Judd is trying to kick there. That's all

:00:24. > :00:25.she's got. She can't go any harder. Lynsey Sharp launches. She hasn't

:00:26. > :00:30.got that much left but she's fighting and drawing a lot of energy

:00:31. > :00:32.from this crowd here tonight. Inspiration too for what

:00:33. > :00:36.from this crowd here tonight. Child acomplished last night. At

:00:37. > :00:38.this point, she's kicking and kicking. Now

:00:39. > :00:43.this point, she's kicking and can get past Nanyondo. I don't think

:00:44. > :00:48.she real aislesed until she saw it come up on the score board that

:00:49. > :00:53.she's got celebrate. -- got second. I think she's just celebrating. A

:00:54. > :00:55.photo finish. Her mum was an 800m runner for Scotland in the

:00:56. > :01:05.Commonwealth Games. Her dad a Gold Medallist and four bronze as well.

:01:06. > :01:12.She is from running stock. Exactly, and also what she has gone

:01:13. > :01:16.through this year, having that open wound all season, because she needs

:01:17. > :01:18.through this year, having that open another operation to tidy it up. She

:01:19. > :01:23.has coped with all of that. She has come out here, and she said that

:01:24. > :01:26.through that operation, it was the Commonwealth Games being in Glasgow,

:01:27. > :01:33.that was what kept her going. Commonwealth Games being in Glasgow,

:01:34. > :01:37.Putting that into context, the pain of having that, it is a painful

:01:38. > :01:40.process that she has gone through, of having that, it is a painful

:01:41. > :01:44.not just the normal pain of training, which you guys do, but she

:01:45. > :01:51.knows she needs that operation, training, which you guys do, but she

:01:52. > :01:55.Glasgow inspired her. All of the agony that she has been through, she

:01:56. > :02:00.was not going to give up without the most determined fight. No, you could

:02:01. > :02:06.probably say the same for all of the girls in that race. But this was

:02:07. > :02:11.something she had been aiming for, and then to feel the energy from

:02:12. > :02:16.this crowd, as people realised that she was gaining on that silver

:02:17. > :02:23.medal, that will have really helped her as well. Hopefully there will be

:02:24. > :02:31.a rendition of Michael Johnson's favourite proclaimers song, 500

:02:32. > :02:37.Miles, at some point this evening. I expect her lap of honour to take a

:02:38. > :02:41.while longer yet. Phil Jones managed to catch up with Isobel Pooley

:02:42. > :02:47.earlier, following her silver in the high jump. Congratulations. I cannot

:02:48. > :02:53.believe it, it feels so surreal. I had to check with the official. My

:02:54. > :02:58.coach said today, focus and execute. He is a fantastic coach, I just read

:02:59. > :03:04.as he said. It was a leap of faith, I just went for it. I am really

:03:05. > :03:14.pleased to be so close to my next height. Hopefully that will come in

:03:15. > :03:22.the next few weeks. We know your coach because of what he has done

:03:23. > :03:27.for Robbie, he is a great motivator. I have never, ever been in the mix

:03:28. > :03:34.for a medal before. So, this has been a completely new experience for

:03:35. > :03:38.me just by dreams of gold, I dared to dream, and I am not ashamed of

:03:39. > :03:43.that. A personal-best is a personal best. A silver medal in my first

:03:44. > :03:49.ever Commonwealths, I have got somewhere to go next time. Can you

:03:50. > :03:56.describe the lap of honour? It is surreal. Also I am surprised I have

:03:57. > :03:59.made it all the way round! You know when you interview people, and they

:04:00. > :04:04.cannot get their breath back, that is me right now! The crowd is

:04:05. > :04:09.fantastic, I want to thank every single person who came out. Also the

:04:10. > :04:13.volunteers, and in the village, it has been such a fantastic

:04:14. > :04:17.experience. And I have given myself something to celebrate now. I will

:04:18. > :04:31.go back to the village with pride tonight.

:04:32. > :04:42.This is the countdown clock until the appearance of Usain Bolt on the

:04:43. > :04:44.track in the relay heats. A lot of these people buying their tickets

:04:45. > :04:49.might have thought they would be seeing Mo Farah in the 10k. Well,

:04:50. > :04:56.they have seen Lynsey Sharp, the homegirl, bringing home the silver

:04:57. > :05:04.in the 800m. Let's wrap up the women's discus, with Steve Backley.

:05:05. > :05:15.STEVE BACKLEY: And it went to form, with Dani Samuels Australia

:05:16. > :05:29.dominated the competition. This was her third attempt. 64.88 was

:05:30. > :05:38.enough. All her valid throws were beyond 61 metres. So, the world

:05:39. > :05:59.champion from 2009 is now the Commonwealth champion of 2014.

:06:00. > :06:22.Seema Punia, this was the fifth round, she was chasing down a silver

:06:23. > :06:28.medal. And she was successful. One of two Indian athletes competing in

:06:29. > :06:32.this final. And it was her namesake who took the Championship last time

:06:33. > :06:38.around. And this was the response in that fifth round from Jade Lally. It

:06:39. > :06:42.was not quite enough. Just shy of that silver medal line, but was a

:06:43. > :06:49.great response, which shows wonderful competitive spirit. She

:06:50. > :06:55.put together a great series of throws. A season's best in a

:06:56. > :07:01.championship - that is what they say, isn't it? It is all you can do.

:07:02. > :07:13.And that is exactly what Jade Lally of England did.

:07:14. > :07:21.She said a big thank you to her friend, who said to her, why don't

:07:22. > :07:23.you try athletics, why not try throwing that thing, she said? And

:07:24. > :07:44.here she is. PHIL JONES: I have got with me a

:07:45. > :07:49.very emotional Lynsey Sharp. Steve Cram talked about it in commentary,

:07:50. > :07:55.nobody really knows, outside the world of athletics, what you have

:07:56. > :08:01.been through to get to this moment. This is my everything. The last year

:08:02. > :08:08.has been obstacle after obstacle. Even write up to this morning, I was

:08:09. > :08:13.in the hospital, in the village, until 5.30 this morning. I had not

:08:14. > :08:22.slept at all. I was throwing up all night. I had a drip in my arm. This

:08:23. > :08:26.was honestly my everything, and there was no way that I was going to

:08:27. > :08:31.go everything I had been through not to get a medal today. What is

:08:32. > :08:40.written on your hand? It says get out strong and commit. You did just

:08:41. > :08:48.that. Let's have a little look. I know how low the low points can be.

:08:49. > :08:55.Yesterday, I almost lost it. So today, I had to come out and get it

:08:56. > :09:01.right. Now, I know we have got a medal ceremony taking place right

:09:02. > :09:05.now. Are you happy to stay with us, we will let you gather yourself a

:09:06. > :09:09.bit more, and we will come back and have a chat after the medals have

:09:10. > :09:24.been presented to Luke Cutts and Steve Lewis?

:09:25. > :09:27.STEVE CRAM: Well, Lynsey Sharp had an incredible journey to that 800m

:09:28. > :09:42.final. STEVE BACKLEY: It is coming thick

:09:43. > :09:49.and fast this evening. Great pole vault competition.

:09:50. > :10:01.ANNOUNCER: Representing England, Steve Lewis! Big roar, great

:10:02. > :10:06.appreciation from a strong support for these two in Laois athletes.

:10:07. > :10:17.Gold and silver. It went to count back, which was needed to sort out

:10:18. > :10:26.the gold and silver. It was a wonderful competition. Shawn Barber

:10:27. > :10:29.taking bronze Canada. ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, the

:10:30. > :11:51.national anthem of England. So, bronze eight years ago, silver,

:11:52. > :11:52.four years ago, and now Steve Lewis has a full set of Commonwealth

:11:53. > :12:08.medals. Wonderful moment for England, and we

:12:09. > :12:14.have just seen a wonderful Wonderful moment for England, and we

:12:15. > :12:17.for Scotland for you. You are going to have that magical experience on

:12:18. > :12:19.the podium. How was the lap of honour? Yes, because I missed doing

:12:20. > :12:26.the lap of honour in Helsinki honour? Yes, because I missed doing

:12:27. > :12:32.that. As soon as I finished, that is what came into my head. And your mum

:12:33. > :12:37.was emotional as well? Yes. My mum has been my rock. I

:12:38. > :12:41.was emotional as well? Yes. My mum to her. She is the first one I

:12:42. > :12:45.telephone when I have got a problem. Everybody thinks that latex

:12:46. > :12:49.is an individual sport, but it is far from that. It is a massive,

:12:50. > :12:56.massive team behind me. My physio has been there through everything.

:12:57. > :13:02.The mental team, my coaches, Mike Johnson, Stephen Maguire, was with

:13:03. > :13:07.me at 5.30 this morning when I was spewing up. My mum, my dad, my

:13:08. > :13:11.sister. Friends, family, who have shared everything with me, all of

:13:12. > :13:16.the lows, and that is who I want to share the highs with. You have kept

:13:17. > :13:22.the sporting pedigree of your family going, but this is probably the most

:13:23. > :13:27.magical moment of all for the family? Yes, people kept saying to

:13:28. > :13:30.me, this is your time. After everything I have been through, I

:13:31. > :13:36.thought, how can I possibly be in this shape? It is a miracle. I could

:13:37. > :13:42.not have been here without every single person. I cannot name

:13:43. > :13:46.everyone! You never make excuses, even yesterday you came through and

:13:47. > :13:46.you gave us an answer, but you were not making

:13:47. > :13:53.you gave us an answer, but you were not excuses - that says a lot about

:13:54. > :13:58.you. Yes, I honestly think athletics is one of the toughest sports, you

:13:59. > :13:59.are out there on your own, you have to take responsibility. It is

:14:00. > :14:04.something that I I go out to take responsibility. It is

:14:05. > :14:09.something that I and I do it in training, so why can't I come out

:14:10. > :14:14.here and executed perfectly every time? That is why I was so annoyed

:14:15. > :14:19.yesterday. An filly I had 24 hours to get it right, and I did. Thank

:14:20. > :14:26.you to everybody at home, you have been amazing.

:14:27. > :14:36.As I was saying a couple of minutes ago, that story will be talked

:14:37. > :14:39.about. She will go off and do her press interviews. The emotion will

:14:40. > :14:43.continue to pour out. What a ceremony that is going to be, a

:14:44. > :14:50.little later on. Now, we move onto the heats, back to business as

:14:51. > :15:06.usual, if you like, of the 4x100m is relay. On the inside, a very strong

:15:07. > :15:12.Bahamas team. Lane 6 is empty, that should have been Sierra Leone.

:15:13. > :15:22.Trinidad Tobago, and a strong Nigeria team on the outside. We have

:15:23. > :15:29.only got to heats in the women's race, there will be three in the

:15:30. > :15:37.men's. Three to go through, plus two fastest losers. A very experienced

:15:38. > :15:41.lead-off for them. Trinidad inside them. Watch out for Australia and

:15:42. > :15:53.Bahamas as well. Nigeria may have the lead here.

:15:54. > :15:57.Watch the changeovers. It's not good for Nigeria. Did she get the baton?

:15:58. > :16:00.We'll be looking for flags on the back straight. Trinidad and Tobago

:16:01. > :16:06.chasing them. Australia going well. . Hauma coming into this. -- Bahamas

:16:07. > :16:11.come intoing this. Australia have it safely round. Bahamas will be coming

:16:12. > :16:14.through. Nigeria, Trinidad and Tobago at the moment. Australia

:16:15. > :16:21.coming into this, safely done. Nigeria lead from Australia. A real

:16:22. > :16:27.battle, India storming in. Trinidad finishing quickly. Nigeria win it.

:16:28. > :16:33.Can Australia hang on, oh, Trinidad and Australia with Bahamas finishing

:16:34. > :16:38.quickly. Well I'm not sure that was good from anybody, to be honest. I

:16:39. > :16:42.think Nigeria had a poor first changeover. Australia didn't finish

:16:43. > :16:51.as well as they would have liked. But all that being said, 44. 13 for

:16:52. > :16:57.nigh jeerament Australia go through. -- Nigeria. Australia go through.

:16:58. > :17:07.That initial lane one would be difficult for Bahamas. They will

:17:08. > :17:11.have to wait and see. I'd like to see the first changeover for

:17:12. > :17:22.Nigeria. It was a little bit too close for comfort. Stuttering there

:17:23. > :17:26.on the second leg. It's victory at the moment. We shall see. Apart from

:17:27. > :17:35.that, everything went fairly cleanly and as expected. Bahamas a bit

:17:36. > :17:39.disappointing. But Nigeria strong at this point and on the final leg as

:17:40. > :17:45.well. Good run from the Australian quartet. I think they were a bit

:17:46. > :17:49.better drilled, very well practised. The Great Britain squad in recent

:17:50. > :17:53.months have been very well drilled at the changeovers. Victory for

:17:54. > :18:00.Nigeria, at the moment, as you can see from the photo finish, in second

:18:01. > :18:03.place, close, close, close. On that wider view, Andrew, it looked as

:18:04. > :18:12.though they just got the baton before. There's a yellow line on the

:18:13. > :18:16.track. On that first changeover looked as though they got it through

:18:17. > :18:25.safely. I didn't see a red flag go up. GABBY LOGAN: So the first heat

:18:26. > :18:29.done. The second coming in a few moments. England and Wales feature

:18:30. > :18:34.in that, as do Jamaica. That means the crowd here will get their first

:18:35. > :18:35.glimpse of quite simply the greatest female sprinter in the world at the

:18:36. > :18:53.moment. Fraser-Price what a competitor.

:18:54. > :19:07.She's rolling away, this is a display of power sprinting. A

:19:08. > :19:18.Fraser-Pryce for the line for the title for double gold. It's gold for

:19:19. > :19:24.Jamaica. She is the best by a long way, a really long way.

:19:25. > :19:28.She holds all the golds at the moment. Like a lot of the sprinters

:19:29. > :19:33.here who have been world champions last year, having an easy year. Or a

:19:34. > :19:37.little more relaxed year. Like Usain Bolt choosing not to run in the

:19:38. > :19:42.individual I vent, Mike -- individual event. It's tough to go

:19:43. > :19:46.out every year and in the four-year cycle of things, this would be the

:19:47. > :19:50.year to take it more easy. When you've won, she and Usain Bolt have

:19:51. > :19:53.won back-to-back Olympic and World Championships. So it makes sense to

:19:54. > :19:58.take a little bit of a break. Then, she's also in that situation as

:19:59. > :20:03.well, where there's a lot more for a person like her or Usain Bolt

:20:04. > :20:06.there's more to lose by coming here and competing than to gain. If you

:20:07. > :20:09.win, well, it's you should have won, you're number one in the word. If

:20:10. > :20:15.you lose - oh, really? You let them beat you. That's certainly on their

:20:16. > :20:20.mind. She started really well. She ran brilliant indoors. Then I think

:20:21. > :20:23.she picked up that quad injury and everyone was like, you know, maybe

:20:24. > :20:26.you should just take it easy. You don't need to be pushing yourself

:20:27. > :20:30.because you continue to race. That's what people couldn't understand.

:20:31. > :20:34.Then she kind of went away and regathered herself. She put down a

:20:35. > :20:38.decent time. But it's nice that she wants to come here and represent her

:20:39. > :20:42.country. She's passionate about Jamaica, Jamaican sprinting. She

:20:43. > :20:47.wants to be part of this. Welcome Colin, by the way. Thank you very

:20:48. > :20:52.much. With Shelley-Ann the intensity is not there. It's not into

:20:53. > :20:55.much. With Shelley-Ann the intensity needed. What Michael said is spot

:20:56. > :21:01.on. You need a bit of a mental break. But you still want to keep

:21:02. > :21:07.your hand in, some way sm, how. For sprinters, the' lay is a mash fuss

:21:08. > :21:12.-- the relay is a marvellous opportunity to do that. It's a crowd

:21:13. > :21:15.pleaser as well as keeping them in the mix. And it's not your fault if

:21:16. > :21:18.you don't get the gold. That's true. And the other thing too is, we've

:21:19. > :21:22.talked this week a lot and heard the athletes talking about really

:21:23. > :21:25.enjoying this. Nobody is really enjoying this until after its it's

:21:26. > :21:31.over. It's hard to come out here and you're trying to win medals and be

:21:32. > :21:34.focussed. They can enjoy this because the relay is fun. It's not

:21:35. > :21:38.as much pressure. I'm sure that she's had the opportunity all week

:21:39. > :21:43.to really enjoy and soak in the experience. Just a word on England

:21:44. > :21:48.as well. How buoyed will they be by those fantastic performances,

:21:49. > :21:51.especially in the 200m, two, three and four places. Atmosphere will be

:21:52. > :21:55.riding high amongst those girls. They're very tight. They know they

:21:56. > :22:02.can do this and do it well. They're drilled. They're running quickly.

:22:03. > :22:06.It's got all the hall marks of a great championships for the British

:22:07. > :22:10.women - English women, my mistake. And the Welsh. They're running very

:22:11. > :22:10.women - English women, my mistake. Go on well. Colin. It's a good group

:22:11. > :22:15.of Go on well. Colin. It's a good group

:22:16. > :22:18.them the opportunity to Go on well. Colin. It's a good group

:22:19. > :22:23.top nations. Never in their wildest dreams would they be running against

:22:24. > :22:25.Jamaica as a relay team, here's their England and opportunity. Wales

:22:26. > :22:40.side by side on the their England and opportunity. Wales

:22:41. > :22:43.Tonight, this meeting, this Commonwealth Games is about

:22:44. > :22:48.Tonight, this meeting, this than Usain Bolt. Shelley Ann

:22:49. > :22:53.Fraser-Pryce, one of stars. This is the same Welsh quartet and in the

:22:54. > :22:58.same order that set the Welsh record in June. Get close to that and

:22:59. > :23:03.they'll have a chance if not going through automatically, going through

:23:04. > :23:19.as a faster loser. England led off by Asha Philip. Very strong Canadian

:23:20. > :23:33.quartet as W -- well. Jamaica, well, who can catch them? Stewart leads

:23:34. > :23:42.them off. Campbell-Brown second as well. Kenya make up things in lane

:23:43. > :23:48.one here. Cameroon and Papua New Guinea non-starters in this heat.

:23:49. > :23:52.The second of the two heats. It is the first three who go through

:23:53. > :23:58.automatically. Times to look out for, the Bahamas 44. 5, India 44. 81

:23:59. > :24:05.in the last of the fastest losers positions at the moment. The Welsh

:24:06. > :24:07.record would see them inside that. They go in lane serve. Singapore

:24:08. > :24:23.there as well, in lane eight. Asha Philip just told to go down

:24:24. > :24:29.into their blocks then the starter asked them to get up. That's a green

:24:30. > :24:34.card, a technical problem with the starter. They will have to settle

:24:35. > :24:37.and do it all again and get ready. Asha Philip at the world indoors she

:24:38. > :24:45.was fourth here, fourth in the 100. Great starter. That's why she's on

:24:46. > :24:50.the first leg. Anika Onuora fourth in the 200.

:24:51. > :25:04.England in lane six. Wales in lane seven.

:25:05. > :25:13.A bit more than raw speed about getting that baton round.

:25:14. > :25:19.Cleanly away and Asha Philip out and flying at the moment. Stewart for

:25:20. > :25:23.Jamaica. How is the changeover. Philip to Onuora and England do

:25:24. > :25:27.safely have the baton. Jamaica are flying. They look to be leading.

:25:28. > :25:32.Veronica Campbell-Brown with it. Canada going nicely as well. It's

:25:33. > :25:38.England, Canada and the gentleman make was. -- Jamaicans. They just

:25:39. > :25:46.about get that baton over. Coming round the bend, Jamaica. Jamaica

:25:47. > :25:55.lead. It's with Fraser-Pryce now. Well, England have it and Ashley

:25:56. > :25:58.Nelson. And Canada with Bingham through to take third. Well, we'll

:25:59. > :26:05.tidy all that up, because I was concentrating on the Jamaicans but

:26:06. > :26:11.behind there, the English quartet, I'm not sure. Talk about getting

:26:12. > :26:19.that baton safely round. I think they did. But... I don't know. It's

:26:20. > :26:24.close. The one thing I will say, I was watching Ashley Nelson. She

:26:25. > :26:27.looked really nervous. You've got to have control of the baton when you

:26:28. > :26:31.leave the sector. It has to be in your hand and have control. She

:26:32. > :26:36.switch today to her other hand. That's OK. But did she have it when

:26:37. > :26:40.she crossed the line? The Welsh have run a new national record, no

:26:41. > :26:44.they've equalled - excuse me - their national record. Let's look at this.

:26:45. > :26:47.Right to the final change. Because that's the one that is in

:26:48. > :26:55.contention. She's smiling. She thinks she's OK. The one before was

:26:56. > :26:59.good. So Bloor coming in. That's into the sector, the first yellow

:27:00. > :27:03.marker. She exits with the second yellow marker, you have to have it,

:27:04. > :27:15.stop, stop, stop, it's coming. OK, just jog it on a bit. She has to

:27:16. > :27:17.have it just in her hand. Oohhh. Of course, looking at that we're going

:27:18. > :27:24.to give them the benefit of the doubt. No red flags that I've seen.

:27:25. > :27:32.But that was so, so close. First changeover wasn't great, to be

:27:33. > :27:36.honest. Asha Philip gets out strong. She's going to hand to Anika. Watch

:27:37. > :27:45.this change. She's up and running. Wait, wait, wait. Got it, OK.

:27:46. > :27:52.Safish. -- self-ish. -- safe-ish. This is a good change to Bloor,

:27:53. > :27:56.that's nice. Then here we go. You're clear. You've got your

:27:57. > :27:58.qualification, it's really hard, you can't think, you've got to go off

:27:59. > :28:03.your mark. It's just whether or not she's gone out a little bit hard

:28:04. > :28:07.there, but at least she checked. She realised she's gone out hard, she

:28:08. > :28:12.checked, hopefully, as far as we're concerned, got the baton just in her

:28:13. > :28:18.hand, just before that line and has qualified for the final. It was

:28:19. > :28:23.close. A great run for Wales as well. They matched their national

:28:24. > :28:27.record. Just inside the yellow line for that final, crucial handover for

:28:28. > :28:31.England from Bloor to Nelson. It looks to be OK. We will get

:28:32. > :28:36.confirmation of that. Phil is with the English quartet.

:28:37. > :28:40.They're all watching that screen avidly. A bit nervously, but it

:28:41. > :28:44.looks safe. You got the team off to a great start. I didn't know how it

:28:45. > :28:51.felt. I haven't been on a bend for a while. I ran a bit funny. My aim was

:28:52. > :28:56.to run past the girl next to me. We got the baton round here, so, I

:28:57. > :29:00.think it was a good team. Regardless of a little mishap that the girls

:29:01. > :29:04.had, we got it safe and that was the plan. Roll on to the A personal

:29:05. > :29:11.final. Best for you last night and double duty. I know. Yeah, it's good

:29:12. > :29:15.to be back on the track. I enjoyed it last night. It's nice to have fun

:29:16. > :29:19.with the relay girls and like Asha was saying, just doing my job on the

:29:20. > :29:22.back straight and tried to hammer down, trying to catch them

:29:23. > :29:27.Jamaicans. You did, you were in the lead at that point, I think. Louise,

:29:28. > :29:32.you come into the team, what's it like when you have to fit into an

:29:33. > :29:37.already established side? They're really good. You come into practice

:29:38. > :29:42.and everybody works together. The morale is great. So, it's a new leg

:29:43. > :29:46.for me. I got a bit comfortable on leg four, having to run through the

:29:47. > :29:51.line. It's a new leg, but I felt comfortable. Bit of a - only just

:29:52. > :29:54.made the pass to Asha I think. That could have been a bit better.. Got

:29:55. > :29:57.the baton round safely and through to the Another look final. At that,

:29:58. > :30:02.come around here and have a look at the screen and can you see just what

:30:03. > :30:14.happened. We'll' slow it down. Tell me your thoughts.

:30:15. > :30:19.The person running in always has control of the baton, but I am a bit

:30:20. > :30:24.more experienced, so I took it upon myself to kind of put my hand back.

:30:25. > :30:28.When you run with your hand back, it automatically slows you down. I just

:30:29. > :30:34.wanted to make sure that we got round. I kept my hand as still as I

:30:35. > :30:38.could and managed to get it in. Tonight was all about ridding the

:30:39. > :30:50.baton round, and we did that. We wish you well for tomorrow.

:30:51. > :30:58.So, it looks like it is OK, we are not going to hear any news to the

:30:59. > :31:07.contrary, Colin? No, I think they were just fraction of --

:31:08. > :31:14.fractionally, in the box. It is about lunging, it is the 4x100m is,

:31:15. > :31:21.get it in the hand! I think she was just waiting to be a little bit too

:31:22. > :31:26.close. She is new to the quartet. Well, she has run with them before,

:31:27. > :31:32.so... We have got some news regarding Wales.

:31:33. > :31:44.ANDREW COTTER: It is not good for Wales, they have been disqualified.

:31:45. > :31:52.That time, matching the Welsh national record, would have seen

:31:53. > :31:57.them through to the final. I think this is the changeover which is to

:31:58. > :32:12.blame, for Wales. It is the second changeover. And it is Hannah Turner,

:32:13. > :32:26.handing to Mike more. And the last one was fine. This one was fine,

:32:27. > :32:34.from Mica Moore, to Rachel Johncock. So, a shame for Wales. No matching

:32:35. > :32:39.of the national record, no place in the final. But England are safely

:32:40. > :32:58.through. Is that a bit mean? Andrew Cotter

:32:59. > :33:12.said that with a bit too much, Wales disc fight! -- disqualified. You can

:33:13. > :33:17.imagine, they have worked hard as a team. At the Welsh Championships, I

:33:18. > :33:20.was very impressed with the way they were spending. It was a young team,

:33:21. > :33:26.and I thought it was a good opportunity for them. You can

:33:27. > :33:29.imagine them thinking to themselves, they want to get involved in the

:33:30. > :33:34.national, British team as well, so they need to give themselves a good

:33:35. > :33:37.run out. But it was that second changeover. It is a high pressured

:33:38. > :33:42.environment for them to be in because there are lots of things

:33:43. > :33:43.happening. When you have not got the same kind of experience as some of

:33:44. > :33:49.the English same kind of experience as some of

:33:50. > :33:49.Jamaicans, who run continuously for their national teams,

:33:50. > :33:55.Jamaicans, who run continuously for understand how these things happen.

:33:56. > :33:58.I feel for them, not just as a Welshman, but the fact that they

:33:59. > :34:04.set, or equalled, the national record. After the long leg of the

:34:05. > :34:13.second leg, which is the longest leg, they were over the

:34:14. > :34:17.second leg, which is the longest mark, the middle of the box, the

:34:18. > :34:24.white mark. And the baton just does not get

:34:25. > :34:26.white mark. And the baton just does half a metre out. It might be the

:34:27. > :34:31.Friendly Games, but not that friendly, to allow an infringement

:34:32. > :34:40.to the rules like that. England, though, just got away with it,

:34:41. > :34:44.Michael. They were just inside. I mean, just inside. There is still

:34:45. > :34:52.the opportunity for another team to protest. But I wondered, Colin, when

:34:53. > :34:57.we were talking about this, I wonder why Ashleigh Nelson put her hand

:34:58. > :35:03.back. Normally it is from a command. So, was she commanded to put her

:35:04. > :35:05.hand back? If so, why would Louise Bloor, and would Louise Bloor

:35:06. > :35:10.command her to put her hand back but not be close enough to know I wonder

:35:11. > :35:15.if Ashley took off too soon and then just through her hand back. We saw

:35:16. > :35:20.on the Welsh changeover, there was a clear command, her mouth was open. I

:35:21. > :35:26.did not see that in the English changeover. I could not see it. But

:35:27. > :35:31.she took off. I think so. And you think, did they have what we call a

:35:32. > :35:37.safe change, with the outgoing runner, maybe should have got a bit

:35:38. > :35:46.closer? I do not know, but they were very lucky. It is the turn of the

:35:47. > :35:49.men next. Jamaica's Usain Bolt is in the second heat, but before that, we

:35:50. > :35:54.have got the first heat. have got the

:35:55. > :36:02.ANDREW COTTER: It is a strong quartet for Trinidad Tobago.

:36:03. > :36:10.Richard Thompson, disappointing in the individual. He has run so well

:36:11. > :36:19.this season. He is on the anchor leg. This is the Bahamas. Adrian

:36:20. > :36:30.Griffiths taking them out. The Cayman Islands in Lane 3.

:36:31. > :36:56.Trinidad Tobago we talked about, and Canada, outside them, possibly

:36:57. > :36:59.the two favourites. It is almost the Canadian quartet which won the

:37:00. > :37:08.bronze medal in the World Championships in Moscow, after Great

:37:09. > :37:21.Britain were disco fight. -- were disqualified.

:37:22. > :37:34.Away they go, cleanly. Trinidad Tobago moving smoothly. Oh, that was

:37:35. > :37:42.a bit untidy from Trinidad Tobago! The Bahamas are up on them now.

:37:43. > :37:53.Pretty much in the line, coming into the third leg. All in a line, these

:37:54. > :37:56.three coming away. Only two will go through automatically. Richard

:37:57. > :38:08.Thompson brings Trinidad Tobago home. Those three, a long way clear

:38:09. > :38:16.of the rest. Some pretty good running, some pretty good changeover

:38:17. > :38:20.is as well, and a pretty good time. Richard Thompson, who was not

:38:21. > :38:25.impressive in the individual 100m, perhaps looking to make amends.

:38:26. > :38:30.STEVE CRAM: It is going to be good, we have got two more heats to come.

:38:31. > :38:37.The Canadians, for me, very strong. Trinidad look as though they had

:38:38. > :38:42.some problems with the Canadians. At this point, down the back straight,

:38:43. > :38:45.Marc Byrnes, who has done this so many times for Trinidad Tobago,

:38:46. > :38:59.has a good leg, getting them back in the race.

:39:00. > :39:07.For the Bahamas, Smith, nothing he can do. And so Canada and Trinidad

:39:08. > :39:10.Tobago. Richard Thompson, after the disappointment in the individual

:39:11. > :39:20.100m, bringing his country safely home. Yes, Richard Arnesen, only

:39:21. > :39:30.Jason Gatlin has gone faster this year. -- Richard Thomson.

:39:31. > :39:44.GABBY LOGAN: Coming up in the next hit, Jamaica. The first chance for

:39:45. > :39:54.Glasgow 2014, love games to see that man, built for speed.

:39:55. > :40:06.MICHAEL JOHNSON: How do you become the fastest man in the world? It

:40:07. > :40:36.does depend on your raw materials. But all the fine tuning in the world

:40:37. > :40:43.will not help if you do not have inner steel. If you do not have

:40:44. > :40:47.willpower, and the drive to succeed. You still have to take care of

:40:48. > :41:01.business, build on your strength and focus. If you do that, when you

:41:02. > :41:09.arrive at the blocks, you might just make the most of being built to

:41:10. > :41:14.sprint. Well, we have done all right without him so for, but it is

:41:15. > :41:18.special to see him here tonight. He will think the atmosphere is all for

:41:19. > :41:24.him, he will not realise it has been like this every night! They are

:41:25. > :41:30.singing The Bonny Banks Of Loch Lomond. But I wonder what he is

:41:31. > :41:35.making of all of this. MICHAEL JOHNSON: I am sure he has

:41:36. > :41:37.been having a good time this week. The great thing about the

:41:38. > :41:42.Commonwealth Games to this point is that it has been great competition.

:41:43. > :41:46.This is a show. You know what is going to happen. Now, he is part of

:41:47. > :41:53.the relay, anything could happen. As long as they do not go out of the

:41:54. > :41:58.lane, they get it to him, they win. We know that. But this is a show for

:41:59. > :42:06.this crowd. They will get a chance to say they saw Usain Bolt. That is

:42:07. > :42:12.special for them. Indeed it is. Even when he is lining up, he cannot help

:42:13. > :42:17.it, he is a natural showman. He has always been the same, since he was a

:42:18. > :42:21.teenager. He crossed the line, and he was showboating to the fans. He

:42:22. > :42:31.loves performance. Whatever his stage, this man can perform. It is a

:42:32. > :42:39.wonderful thing. Denise Lewis wouldn't you just love to be that

:42:40. > :42:41.young girl carrying his kit box? She knows she is getting the attention.

:42:42. > :42:48.He is probably engaging with her. knows she is getting the attention.

:42:49. > :42:54.But she does not like Usain Bolt! She is the one person that does not

:42:55. > :42:57.like Usain Bolt! She is like the guards outside Buckingham Palace,

:42:58. > :43:04.going, Styche all, the world is not watching me! Let's see if he can

:43:05. > :43:07.deliver the business with Jamaica. STEVE CRAM: Lovely moment, and what

:43:08. > :43:09.a moment for the Commonwealth Games, STEVE CRAM: Lovely moment, and what

:43:10. > :43:18.for the Hampden Park crowd. The STEVE CRAM: Lovely moment, and what

:43:19. > :43:22.great man is here. So, to business, then, Usain Bolt. They have got to

:43:23. > :43:25.bring the baton home. They have not gone for their strongest team. The

:43:26. > :43:47.Aussies will be looking to go well. Singapore have put some good

:43:48. > :43:52.performances in recently. Nigeria will be good down the back

:43:53. > :44:01.straight. Montserrat, I wonder how nervous they are. So, this is the

:44:02. > :44:07.Jamaican team. None of the medallists from the 200m last night.

:44:08. > :44:19.The gold medallist from the 100m is not here, either. A great welcome

:44:20. > :44:30.for the greatest athlete on the planet. Oh, I hope it goes well for

:44:31. > :44:37.him. So, Jamaica on the inside, in Lane 2. Only the top two to the

:44:38. > :45:04.final. The Jamaican, slow out of the box.

:45:05. > :45:06.Please get the baton to Usain Bolt! Australia going down the back

:45:07. > :45:13.straight, Nigeria starting to come into it. And Jamaica might need

:45:14. > :45:19.Usain Bolt here. Australia start to fade. Nigeria leading. And here

:45:20. > :45:32.goes. Usain Bolt has got it in his hand. The crowd cheering him on!

:45:33. > :45:39.Jamaica are through to the final. Thank goodness for that! I do not

:45:40. > :45:41.Jamaica are through to the final. know who was more nervous, the

:45:42. > :45:48.Jamaican team manager, the, love games organisers... But Jamaica are

:45:49. > :45:53.in the final, and we will be seeing Usain Bolt

:45:54. > :45:58.in the final, and we will be seeing but it did not have to be. They have

:45:59. > :46:02.got so much strength to bring in. It will be interesting to see who they

:46:03. > :46:07.bring into this tomorrow. Safely done, Nigeria did pretty well as

:46:08. > :46:17.well, getting second spot. No sign at the moment of any discord of

:46:18. > :46:22.occasions, Andrew. Montserrat, Thousands who have tickets for

:46:23. > :46:27.tomorrow will be delighted. The Nigerians looked good as well. Usain

:46:28. > :46:31.Bolt, the baton changes looked pretty clean. There are so many

:46:32. > :46:36.options they have in the Jamaican team. They're just milling around

:46:37. > :46:42.there. Let's see if they'll mosey around and perhaps have a chat.

:46:43. > :46:49.Here's Usain, safely through to the final. It must have been a neck

:46:50. > :46:54.wracking thing to be on The Last Leg hoping the baton got round to you.

:46:55. > :46:58.No, we told each other, just get it round, don't stress too much about

:46:59. > :47:01.this one, it's just a heat. It's been a long wait to get you out

:47:02. > :47:06.here, every time you ran up and down the home straight, as you were

:47:07. > :47:11.warming up, the cheers were incredible Yeah, it was wonderful.

:47:12. > :47:15.The crowd is great. I've heard it throughout the championships,

:47:16. > :47:19.watching it on TV. It's been wonderful. It's been fair to say

:47:20. > :47:22.you've not had an exactly straight run into this race with what's been

:47:23. > :47:26.happening in the press, that Times report saying you were disparaging

:47:27. > :47:31.about Glasgow. Do you want to give us your perspective. I can't believe

:47:32. > :47:35.they actually said that. I would never use that word if I was going

:47:36. > :47:38.to say that. But for me, I love, you know I love competing. I'm here

:47:39. > :47:41.because of the fans and because I want to be at the Commonwealth. I'm

:47:42. > :47:46.enjoying it. It's been good. People have been so nice to me. I'd never

:47:47. > :47:49.say something like that. How difficult has it been for you to go

:47:50. > :47:53.out, I know you were at the netball the other day, the media trying to

:47:54. > :47:56.get quotes from you. It's just been, it was rough. Everybody just wanted

:47:57. > :47:59.to say something. I didn't want to say anything else. Because last time

:48:00. > :48:02.I had a simple conversation it turned out to be worse for me. I

:48:03. > :48:06.decided that you know, what I'm just going to wait until I get the chance

:48:07. > :48:09.to speak. Tell us now and the British people watching at home,

:48:10. > :48:13.especially the Scottish people, the Glaswegians, what do you think of

:48:14. > :48:17.Glasgow? It's great. For me, everything's been good so far, just

:48:18. > :48:20.the weather. It's got really cold. But everything's been great. I know

:48:21. > :48:24.when I come out here, the fans will be wonderful. I'm happy to be here.

:48:25. > :48:29.It's been great. I'm looking forward tone joying what's going on. I want

:48:30. > :48:35.to say something, I heard somebody say they enjoyed the Games without

:48:36. > :48:42.Blake and me. Yeah, you, I'm talking to you, yes. She knows who I'm

:48:43. > :48:47.talking to, she said it yesterday in the press box. They're in the

:48:48. > :48:50.stadium right. The BBC. Yeah. Michael Johnson, I'm not going to

:48:51. > :49:00.call any name. You know who I'm talking about. I'm a fun person.

:49:01. > :49:06.Look at me. He's talking to you. Uh-oh. I think I've been rumbled.

:49:07. > :49:09.That's Now what hillarious. I said...

:49:10. > :49:15.LAUGHTER If he's allowed anxious wait right

:49:16. > :49:20.to replay -- I'm allowed a right to reply, I said it's OK. But now he's

:49:21. > :49:27.better. Now we know he's watching. He watches. That's good. That's

:49:28. > :49:31.good. Oh, dear. Well, he knows we're fair. Absolutely, he is fair too.

:49:32. > :49:35.Because he came out there and he had a right to reply. I'm glad he took

:49:36. > :49:39.that moment to say what he thinks because he said to Phil, you know

:49:40. > :49:46.me, I wouldn't say things like that. That's the first thingummiself and

:49:47. > :49:52.-- thingummiself and lieu -- thing Myself and Denise said. That's not

:49:53. > :49:56.his language certainly not about an audience he's going to compete in.

:49:57. > :50:02.He's in the a fool. He Joan Is the -- he enjoys the environment. He

:50:03. > :50:05.would never make that statement. It was nervy because you want to get

:50:06. > :50:10.him through that race to get him into the final tomorrow and have a

:50:11. > :50:15.bit more of that. At the risk of tomorrow, Usain Bolt saying

:50:16. > :50:20.something about me saying something but, you know what, I can handle it.

:50:21. > :50:23.I was like, all right, you know, I was saying to Paula earlier, when

:50:24. > :50:28.you watch a sprint, do you think, oh, that's it, is that all? With

:50:29. > :50:32.this, I was like, all right, yeah, here's all the build up and this is

:50:33. > :50:39.great. All right waiting for Usain. He's coming and hoping they're going

:50:40. > :50:42.to get the baton around. They got it around. There goes Usain Bolt.

:50:43. > :50:45.O'-Kay this is great. He's running really well. A little bit relaxed

:50:46. > :50:48.and you know, gets it through and gets them across the finish line.

:50:49. > :50:52.They're in the final and then I'm like, that's it? That's it? That's

:50:53. > :51:00.all I get. I've been waiting for this. It's the magic of the 4x1.

:51:01. > :51:02.When we discuss it, we have all said that we think Trinidad has

:51:03. > :51:06.underperformed at these championships as a sprinting nation.

:51:07. > :51:10.They put out a reasonable time in that first heat. Jamaica will have

:51:11. > :51:15.to step up, I know that, if they're really going to take a big advantage

:51:16. > :51:22.of the situation. We see here they did get very, very crisp, nice safe

:51:23. > :51:26.handoffs. As Usain said, they talked about let's just get it around,

:51:27. > :51:32.these are very safe handoffs, in the middle of the zone. They will change

:51:33. > :51:36.some personnel tomorrow also. Trinidad has under-performed. They

:51:37. > :51:40.put down a very good timed in that first semifinal. I'm sure Richard

:51:41. > :51:43.Thompson who anchored it, who brought them from behind actually,

:51:44. > :51:48.so, I'm not sure that they're really ready to compete against Jamaica,

:51:49. > :51:53.certainly with Bolt there. He's hardly raced this season. He's not

:51:54. > :51:57.been on the Diamond League circuit. He doesn't look bad. Don't start

:51:58. > :52:02.saying that I said he did! But it's amazing how he can do that with so

:52:03. > :52:05.little racing. Look at his form. He looks nice and bouncy, which is what

:52:06. > :52:11.you want to see in an athlete. You don't want to see people with flat

:52:12. > :52:14.feet. He looks like he could run quick. What I'd love to see, I guess

:52:15. > :52:19.we'd all love to see him five metres down on the anchor leg and see him

:52:20. > :52:23.have to really run. See him under pressure. I'm not sure we're going

:52:24. > :52:28.to get that. Another nervy 40 seconds coming up because England

:52:29. > :52:34.are in the last of these heats and obviously, we want to see them

:52:35. > :52:39.safely get the baton round. James Ellington is getting them off to the

:52:40. > :52:43.start. I wonder what you're pointing to there, the waist on his shorts is

:52:44. > :52:53.a bit high. Looks like my dad! LAUGHTER

:52:54. > :52:56.I hope that doesn't have any effect on his aerodynamism. Obviously he's

:52:57. > :53:03.not watching, so he can't pull you up on that tomorrow. STEVE CRAM: OK,

:53:04. > :53:08.well, the England team, I think the fact that James egg selling on the

:53:09. > :53:12.lead -- Ellington is on the lead-off leg, I think we expected Kilty to

:53:13. > :53:14.lead them off. That's a change there. Ellington has normally run

:53:15. > :53:21.around the top bend as well. That there. Ellington has normally run

:53:22. > :53:23.team was Ellington, Kilty and Robertson. It's a big moment for him

:53:24. > :53:36.on The Last Leg. Guyana. Saint Kitts on The Last Leg. Guyana. Saint Kitts

:53:37. > :53:39.Nevis produces a good team even without Kim Collins who still hasn't

:53:40. > :53:54.made up with his federation since the Olympics. So, they've got Jason

:53:55. > :53:57.Rogers, Lawrence going for them. South Africa Titi, you know the

:53:58. > :54:02.England team won't have it all their own way. They will have to run very

:54:03. > :54:05.well to get in the top two. Fastest loser spots are available. At the

:54:06. > :54:07.moment they have to run inside 40 seconds. That should be OK, if they

:54:08. > :54:18.were third, of course. Ellington leading England off.

:54:19. > :54:23.Antigua inside them. South Africa in the green. Saint Kitts Nevis on

:54:24. > :54:27.the inside in the red. A good first leg from Ellington. Handing the

:54:28. > :54:30.baton to Aiknes-Aryeetey. Good so far. South Africa really coming into

:54:31. > :54:36.this. I think Saint Kitts far. South Africa really coming into

:54:37. > :54:38.have gone. England with the baton, Kilty around the top bend. It's

:54:39. > :54:41.going to be Robertson's here as Kilty around the top bend. It's

:54:42. > :54:47.as the baton goes round safely, we'll be fine.

:54:48. > :54:47.He's got it. Robertson with South Africa coming

:54:48. > :54:54.He's got it. Robertson with South will take the third spot. Chased

:54:55. > :55:01.down all the way. That doesn't matter, though. 38. 78. That

:55:02. > :55:07.pretty good performance for my book. Good baton changes.

:55:08. > :55:11.pretty good performance for my book. performance. Ellington I thought got

:55:12. > :55:17.them off to a great start, good changeover to Aiknes-Aryeetey. Good

:55:18. > :55:22.bend on the top bend from Kilty. And Saint Kitts Nevis, they

:55:23. > :55:27.disappeared, but Andrew, England pretty good there. Like you said it

:55:28. > :55:32.was strange to see Ellington on the lead-off leg rather than Kilty.

:55:33. > :55:33.Ellington ran nicely, good changeover to Aiknes-Aryeetey down

:55:34. > :55:37.the back straight. South Africa going nicely here as well. It's a

:55:38. > :55:43.strong South African quartet. Looking at the changeovers and Kilty

:55:44. > :55:47.gets it safely. The changeovers for England and Great Britain in the

:55:48. > :55:50.past have become better and better. That's why they're becoming more

:55:51. > :55:53.serious contenders in the relay. Andrew Robertson,

:55:54. > :55:58.serious contenders in the relay. sprinter on times on the final leg.

:55:59. > :56:02.You can see South Africa closing down on him. By then, the job is

:56:03. > :56:07.done. The squad might be tweaked a little bit. But the time is good for

:56:08. > :56:12.England. It was quicker than Jamaica ran in their last heat. The final

:56:13. > :56:17.changeover, all were pretty good, no mistakes, no stumbles. That's all it

:56:18. > :56:23.took to get it to the hands of Robertson with a big enough lead and

:56:24. > :56:28.he brought it home. Well done England. It's going to be tough, of

:56:29. > :56:32.course, with the likes of Jamaica, South Africa ran well. They are

:56:33. > :56:43.through safely. They will contest the final. Grabban -- GABBY LOGAN:

:56:44. > :56:47.Safely round. Nice job. Clean and safe hand-offs by the England team.

:56:48. > :56:51.You saw Richard Kilty there. Those things happen where you might run up

:56:52. > :56:55.on your team-mate and you have to be calm, be patient and make the right

:56:56. > :56:59.decision at that time, there's a lot going on around you. That was a good

:57:00. > :57:02.veteran decision by They will them. Be in the mix. Absolutely. They have

:57:03. > :57:06.the skills to make that happen. We've seen them train hard. Yeah,

:57:07. > :57:10.they have. They work hard. They drill hard. Apart from the female

:57:11. > :57:13.error, I think all the re-lays have been good, and the changeovers. Good

:57:14. > :57:18.indeed. We've had a fabulous night here at Hampden. Lynsey Sharp taking

:57:19. > :57:22.that silver, of course. Steve Lewis in the pole vault as well. There's

:57:23. > :57:29.more to come, join us, very shortly, here back at Hampden.

:57:30. > :57:35.GARY LINEKER: Usain Bolt, great to see him in action. He wasn't the

:57:36. > :57:42.slightest bit Shabby. The women's 100m hurdles still to come, a real

:57:43. > :57:46.head to he'd Between Australia' Olympic champion and Tiffany Porter.

:57:47. > :57:52.If you weren't with us earlier, Tom Daley and his partner James Denney

:57:53. > :57:56.were diving for gold in the men's synchro 10 m platform. Despite

:57:57. > :58:02.having trained together for just seven days, they claimed a Silver

:58:03. > :58:09.Medal. It could easily have been gold too. The Australians edged out

:58:10. > :58:18.the English pair by 0. 18 of a point. Remarkable. Tom starts the

:58:19. > :58:20.defence of his individual 10 m platform title tomorrow morning at

:58:35. > :58:38.night. We will bring you that live. So that's your daily news. Join us
