wonderful performances and golden moments, but do not think the fun | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
has ended the cos some of the biggest stars are about to begin | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
their Commonwealth West -- because. We start with Tom Daley. -- | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Commonwealth battle. I still get terrified every single | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
time. Ten metres is a long way down. You know you will hit the water at | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
34 mph. You cannot think about what could happen. It is all about | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
confronting fear. Peak physical condition is not enough. You have to | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
get mental strength. You only get that when things go wrong. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
You keep pushing through. You do not hear any noise, you hear your feet | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
on the board and nothing else. In life, sometimes you need fear so | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
you can face it. Every single time I dive, I feel | :01:55. | :02:06. | |
completely alive. He starts his head for golden glory | :02:07. | :02:29. | |
shortly with partner James Denny in the ten metres synchronised. They | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
hit the water at about 34 mph, 50, it is for hour. -- kilometres for | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
hour. It is marginally quicker than Usain Bolt. | :02:44. | :02:57. | |
How do you become the fastest man in the world? | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
He becomes a legend! It does depend on your raw material. | :03:05. | :03:22. | |
Are you a symbol? How are you alt? -- how are you assembled, how are | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
you built? He will take the Gold again. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
Unbeatable! Could you ever doubt him? | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
All the fine tuning in the world will not help if you do not have | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
inner steel, if you do not have willpower and the drive to succeed. | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
You still have to cap -- you still have to take care of business, hold | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
on your strength, focus and mind. He has blown them all away! | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
If you do that, when you arrive at the blocks, you might just make the | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
most of being alt to strength. -- built. | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
Usain Bolt, Tom Daley, not a bad line-up. These are more familiar | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
faces over the next three hours. Lynsey Sharp will have the Hampden | :04:18. | :04:27. | |
Park home support tonight in an 800 metres final. | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
But could it be England's Jessica Judd who has the best chance of a | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
home nations medal or even a Gold? The fast men and women will hit the | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
track for the 100m relay, Usain Bolt for Jamaica, before ten o'clock. | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
Australia will expect a Gold from this sprint hurdles champion, Sally | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Pearson. England's Tiffany Porter will have other ideas on what | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
promises to be a showdown to remember. | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
This is how the timetable is looking. | :05:14. | :05:24. | |
The athletics gets underway at eight o'clock, sadly without Mo Farah, but | :05:25. | :05:38. | |
still a high-quality field. Usain Bolt will make his Commonwealth | :05:39. | :05:39. | |
Games debut just after 9:30 p.m.. A great night of track and field. To | :05:40. | :06:05. | |
set the scene is champion Paula Radcliffe. The standout race has to | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
be the women's 800 metres? Yes, from the perspective of the home | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
countries, we have good chances and this -- the stadium will come alive | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
when Lynsey Sharp is introduced. She just made it through in the European | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Championships so should we be worried? She will rob ugly be | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
concerned, she did look concerned in the race yesterday, but she did | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
everything right. Had herself in a perfect position but she looked very | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
tense as though she was struggling. But she held it together and she | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
kept fighting until the end and she managed to beat Jenny Meadows on the | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
line but they both went through as fastest losers, so it was important | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
she guaranteed her place in the final tonight. Jessica Judd looked | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
great, she let her semifinal from the front. How good can she be? -- | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
she was leading. She can be really good, she is still a junior social | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
could have gone to the world Junior Championships which finished in | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Eugene but she wanted to come to the Commonwealth Games to make an | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
impact. And what I was happy about was that she seemed to run a lot | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
more to her instincts and naturals tile. And the way her heart would | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
dictate and not how she would worry with her head. She sometimes has a | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
tendency to worry and to get nervous and to overthink races and when she | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
does them naturally and let instincts take over, she looks | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
happier and more comfortable and she runs better. Is it all about Eunice | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
Sum? She is definitely the one to beat. How she controls this will | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
dictate how it is run and the medals. If she takes it out hard, | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
depending on who goes with her, look out for dangers like Jessica Judd | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
and Nikki Hamblin of New Zealand who could be strong. Also watch out for | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
the Ugandan, and Melissa Bishop looking good. We will join you for | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
the 10,000 metres, all. There is no Mo Farah but who should we look out | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
for? -- for the 10,000 metres. Look out for the Kenyan athletes. Also, | :08:29. | :08:39. | |
the defending champion, he has not come into these Games in the shape | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
he was in previous years but one to watch out for. We also have Jake | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
Robertson of New Zealand. He took a fall in the 5,000 metres when his | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
twin brother got the bronze so he will be a danger. And Mo Farah's | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
training partner of Canada, also. Kenya take -- take some beating. | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
What do you make of the decision of Usain Bolt only perform in the | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
races? It is great he has come here and it shows the Commonwealth Games | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
do matter as we have seen every night in the stadium. It reflects on | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
the same way it was great to see David Rudisha. -- in the same way. | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
He was not in the shape he wanted but it was important to use the race | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
to bring himself towards that. That is why it is important to see | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
champions like Usain Bolt so people can race against him. He is maybe | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
not untouchable, as he has been before. Thank you for that. In the | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
penultimate night of track and field. And it has been another great | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
day at the gymnastics and this is a quick look back. | :09:59. | :10:15. | |
It was a dream! England's Kristian Thomas takes the | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
silver. That is your Commonwealth champion, | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
Scott Morgan, from Canada! Wales's Georgina Hockenhull takes | :10:32. | :10:32. | |
bronze! Ellie Black, she is the Commonwealth | :10:33. | :10:46. | |
champion. Max Whitlock, yet another medal. | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
It does not come much better than this. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Nile Wilson, silver, his just reward. He has done it, Dan Purvis, | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Gold medal. And Scotland goes crazy! | :11:04. | :11:25. | |
It is a golden floor routine for a golden girl! | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
Take sparkle, energy and what you get is Claudia Fragapane! | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
What a performance! That is so impressive! Kristian | :11:43. | :11:55. | |
Thomas, we know what he can produce. This is beautiful! I do not use that | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
term very often. What a way for Nile Wilson to finish | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
a great baptism. Marvellous. This is how the | :12:05. | :12:18. | |
gymnastics medal table concluded. 19 medals for England, a record, a | :12:19. | :12:32. | |
staggering performance, England's best ever why a distance. Canada | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
second and Scotland doing well. But England dominating proceedings. We | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
have seen some stunning gymnastics and today, we saw startling spirit | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
from Canada's Anderson Loran in the high bar, he suffered that agonising | :12:53. | :13:01. | |
fall. But he got back in the bar for this to happen. Surely he had had | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
enough? He got back for a third time this to happen. Surely he had had | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
to finish his routine, to a great this to happen. Surely he had had | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
invasion. The epitome of the spirit of the Games. No medal, but he | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
deserves a medal for bravery. Five days of gymnastics or over but | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
the sport keeps coming. If you love boxing, BBC Three is the place to | :13:29. | :13:29. | |
be. -- they are over. And you can watch every offence life | :13:30. | :13:44. | |
online. -- live. Diving next, but first, | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
Gold medals that had been won in Edinburgh today. | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
Jack Laugher claimed his second Gold, winning the springboard title | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
with England team-mate Chris Mears. Robinson-Baker and Freddie Woodward | :14:05. | :14:05. | |
took the bronze. Great effort. Tonight, it is the men's ten metres | :14:06. | :14:22. | |
synchronised platform in which Tom Daley won Gold in Delhi with his | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
partner who has retired. He will partner James Denny this time around | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
and we will be at the swimming pool in a while but first, we can catch | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
up with Tom Daley who has had a challenging couple of years. | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
It is good, he cannot do more than that! The crowd are on their feet, | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
Tom Daley has done everything he can! | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
Tom Daley, you could not have done any more, it is out of your hands | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
now. riddled with injury. 2014 has come | :14:58. | :15:12. | |
with a lot of changes, I have moved to London, I have a new coach, lots | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
of new exercises, lots of new tech geeks. The competitions are doing | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
really well. I have just got a personal best in Mexico and a silver | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
medal. I am making the step between being good to trying to get into the | :15:27. | :15:37. | |
excellent category. You mentioned the personal best, what has been the | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
difference to get that? To break a personal best, it is something you | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
strive for. The smallest thing makes the biggest difference. If I do not | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
.80, if I go slightly over from vertical, it can cost you a personal | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
best. Tom Daley goes into the water, | :15:56. | :16:07. | |
hardly any splash. Give him some tens! | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
What was special about the Commonwealth gold? It has always | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
been a massive event on the diving calendar. To compete in my first one | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
and come away with two gold medals, I was over the moon. I could not | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
wait for another four years to pass. It is not so good. He lost it on the | :16:26. | :16:40. | |
take-off, running out of room. Maybe the flashes put him off. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Tell us about the twister. Everybody has a dive they are scared of, for | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
me, it has always been the back twister. But I have done everything | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
I can, working with my support team to get me to the stage where I can | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
do it as well as I can. I am optimistic that I will be able to | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
nail it. Have you seen a therapist or psychologist? There are so many | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
things to talk about with a psychologist. It is a crucial part | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
of being able to be at the top of your game, to be able to mentally be | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
in the position to think that you can win and where you do not have | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
any worries about the sport. To get another Commonwealth gold | :17:23. | :17:36. | |
medal would mean so much. It only happens once every four years, it is | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
not like an event where you can do it again the next year. You do all | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
those years of training, four years, then you get six dives, and if you | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
mess up one of them, you are out. Still a lot of work to be done, but | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
by the time the Commonwealth Games happens, I am on the end of the | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
board, hopefully I will be there. We shall find out. Leon Taylor was | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
an Olympics or the medallist in this event in Athens 2004. Tell us what | :18:14. | :18:23. | |
sort of shape Tom Daley is in. He has been in phenomenal shape for | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
most of this year, he got a personal best in the individual event a | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
number of weeks ago in Mexico. Unfortunately, he hurt his thumb | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
recently, he almost took his thumb off his hand, so he has had heavy | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
strapping and a bit of time out before the World Cup two weeks ago. | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
He still managed fourth place, so he is in great form. He is excited to | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
go this afternoon, or this evening. If you have got a painful fun and | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
you are going to be plunging from ten metres, that is going to prey on | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
your mind? Of course, lots of things can play on your mind, though. The | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
dives, the crowd, the expectation, the pressure, so it is another thing | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
to add to the mix. But he is exceptional, he will deal with the | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
pain and the distractions, and he is excited to get going. England have | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
been rocking it here, he is looking forward to adding to the medal | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
tally. He is going with James Denny, it is a new partnership. They | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
well matched? They are. They had a couple of months' preparation to see | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
if it was going to be a suitable match, and their techniques and | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
power ratios are much about. They did some lower-level diving, the | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
three metre platform, the five men to platform, it looked like one for | :19:51. | :20:00. | |
the future, but they have got here to the Commonwealth Games and | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
thought, let's put it together. They are in with a shot of a podium | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
finish, for sure. The decision was made earlier in the week, quite | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
late. When you have got something like a synchronised swimming, don't | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
you have to work together for a long period of time to get it perfectly | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
timed? Absolutely. This is a trial for Rio de Janeiro. Tom Daley has | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
been looking for a partner, trying to find somebody who can match him, | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
and now he has James Denny. If this works, and I think it will, | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
and now he has James Denny. If this still have fine tuning to do, but | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
they could be a medal prospect in 2016. Can they stand on top of the | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
podium in the next half an hour? It seems a bit sparse, who is the most | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
likely competitors? There are only four competitors, the Malaysians | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
have pulled out due to injury. You have the Australians, who were | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
probably the most experienced. The 2008 Olympic champion. | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
A relatively inexperienced pair from Canada. It is wide open. They have | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
six dives, if they time it right and the execution is good, we could see | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
another medal for the Englishman. What about James Denny, can he cope | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
with the type of difficulty that Tom Daley can? He is not as consistent | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
as Tom Daley. He has been working with the big | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
dives for a while, but what a joy for him to stand next to him and | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
take on the Commonwealth Games with this crowd, it will be a real joy. I | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
am sure Tom Wilkinson calm, and they will have fun and see what happens. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
You have been there, seen it, done it, it is all very well on your own, | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
exceptionally difficult, but what is it like when you have to be | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
synchronised? It is an added distraction. But it is an added | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
excitement. You have to concentrate on what you are doing, but in sync | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
with the person next to you. 1.5 seconds to get from the diving board | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
before you hit the water, and a 35 miles an hour, whilst spinning and | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
twisting as many times as you can. Sounds like fun? For you, yes, | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
obviously! It sounds, does it difficult for me! Have we got a new | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
start in Jacques Rogge? Two gold medals and it's all the medal. Yes, | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
he has been in phenomenal form, he has been inconsistent over the | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
years. His name has been mentioned, but it has not been put in lights | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
before. He was close to the third gold medal last night. In the | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
individual last night, that was his as well, so he could have been a | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
triple gold medallist. He is a great guy, only 19, and he is a name to | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
watch. We have got one wave from the judges. They do not look like a | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
happy bunch! Thank you, Leon. The ten metres synchronised platform is | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
about to begin in Edinburgh. Bob, it is all yours. | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
Gary, thank you. I have had an idea for a programme pilot, Leon Taylor | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
and Gary Lineker up on the for a programme pilot, Leon Taylor | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
board. It will get rate Saturday night ratings! We have four pairs. | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
board. It will get rate Saturday They will only be boarding to | :23:46. | :23:46. | |
medals, a gold and a silver. There They will only be boarding to | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
will be no bronze medal. They should have been five pairs, but the | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
Malaysian pair withdrew. have been five pairs, but the | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
Belizean pair withdrew. We have England, Australia, Malaysia and | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Canada, in that order. To set the scene, indeed men's, it is six, in | :24:03. | :24:12. | |
the women's, it is five. Similar to both, the first two | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
the women's, it is five. Similar to the dives they have to do. The | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
optional dives, from Rowntree onwards. The required dives are in | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
the first two rounds of. They are all 2.0 difficulty. It is a bit like | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
that cycle race on the track where they allow the pizza van | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
that cycle race on the track where around, then he gets off, and they | :24:38. | :24:38. | |
can go around, then he gets off, and they | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
much happens in the first couple of rounds, people do not normally drop | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
their 2.0. They are just there for show. But you can open up a ten | :24:47. | :24:55. | |
point lead. 0.05 of 8.7 to third place and fourth place earlier, so | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
every point counts. There will not be any big leads opening up, but if | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
you can end up top of the leaderboard after the first two | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
rounds, you are in a fantastic attacking position. Let's see how | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
much a fact there is from the newly formed pair of Tom Daley and James | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
Denny. Round about the same age, Tom Daley, 20, James Denny, as well. He | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
seems to have been around for a long time. He won the World Championship | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
in the individual at the age of 15. The rudimentary forward one and a | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
half somersault with pike. If you had any questions, how will James | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
Denny Bay, there is your answer. One of the half somersault in the pike | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
position, is he matched for height and strength? Tom Daley has a better | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
time, that is not unusual. A bit of splash from both divers. The | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
execution will be between 8.5 and nine, anything over 52 is excellent. | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
Nine is across the board. Pretty much. The lines through the marks | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
means they do not count. The ones without lines will. A nice, solid | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
start for the English pair. The execution was better from both | :26:23. | :26:44. | |
Australian divers, a ripped entry. It is very echoey in this swimming | :26:45. | :26:52. | |
pool. An open pike, synchronisation is good, execution is better. We | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
might see them nudge in front of the English pair. It is early days yet. | :26:58. | :27:10. | |
The margin is marginal. 0.6, the difference. We saw a medal won by | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
0.5 in the women's. At this stage, it means little. The Malaysian pair | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
won the three metre competition. If you trust your body, you can | :27:22. | :27:33. | |
achieve beyond what your mind can imagine. That is the 18-year-old's | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
motto am a very philosophical. It is pretty good synchronisation. | :27:37. | :27:51. | |
The diver closest to us was a fraction ahead. The judges do not | :27:52. | :27:59. | |
get the replay. He was just winning the race to the water, fractionally. | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
The synchronisation should not be as high as we saw for the Australians | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
and the Englishman. It will not be far off. | :28:09. | :28:20. | |
Here are the Canadians. One of them had a horrendous accident a few | :28:21. | :28:31. | |
years ago, which nearly rendered him paralysed. After retiring, he | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
decided to come back. Here he is at the Commonwealth Games. | :28:38. | :28:54. | |
yet, that was a mirror image all the way down. I was thinking, is this | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
going to be a classic competition? I have got my answer, that was a | :29:02. | :29:09. | |
delight. Four out of four divers executing that exceptionally well. | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
We have quality, not quantity, definitely. There are only four | :29:16. | :29:26. | |
pairs. What kind of competition is that, you may think. But with these | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
scores, it is good. The Australians are good. Until we get to the third | :29:33. | :29:40. | |
round, nothing really starts to move a great deal. We will come to the | :29:41. | :29:46. | |
big tariff dives, with all of the consequent risk. | :29:47. | :30:06. | |
Another partnership here and we will explain that later. James Denny. Tom | :30:07. | :30:13. | |
Daley. It is an interesting choice. They | :30:14. | :30:34. | |
all carry a 2.0 degree of difficulty. There is a slight to | :30:35. | :30:41. | |
scrap the in the synchronisation -- discrepancy. They have just put this | :30:42. | :30:49. | |
together, a bit ragged. So that is good. But they might fall away a | :30:50. | :31:01. | |
touch. Inwards dive -- and inwards dive for | :31:02. | :31:09. | |
Dominic Bedggood and Matthew Mitcham, the ten metre individual | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
champion for that dramatic last round in Beijing. This is more | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
straightforward. The Australians were a bit of in | :31:18. | :31:27. | |
that, they hit the water at the same time, execution was excellent. But | :31:28. | :31:38. | |
there was a different shape. The younger partner opened out a lot | :31:39. | :31:44. | |
earlier. It should get more of an eight foot synchronisation. I think | :31:45. | :31:49. | |
they will be top of the leaderboard, ahead of England. | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
That is the great thing about synchronisation, you are able to | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
look at these at home and you can see they are not quite right. | :31:58. | :32:03. | |
Individual diving, you get very technical things with | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
synchronisation, you can see when things are not right. Ooi Tze Liang | :32:07. | :32:14. | |
and Chew Yiwei, of Malaysia. They have been put together after round | :32:15. | :32:15. | |
one. A reverse dive in Round two. Won good reverse dive in the pike | :32:16. | :32:36. | |
position. Locking their toes, good synchronisation. Good alignment, | :32:37. | :32:43. | |
same distance from the diving board. Malaysia could go top of the | :32:44. | :32:51. | |
leaderboard. Two good solid attempts. So they go joint first | :32:52. | :32:58. | |
with Australia. Three points above the English pairing. Canada still to | :32:59. | :33:07. | |
come who had a very impressive start, Maxim Bouchard and his | :33:08. | :33:19. | |
younger partner, 17-year-old Vincent Riendeau. Three Gold medals/dear. So | :33:20. | :33:28. | |
he must be in decent form -- last year. Reverse dive for Canada. I am | :33:29. | :33:36. | |
impressed with this young pairing. That is an excellent second-round | :33:37. | :33:45. | |
dive in the pike position, Malaysia just performed the same dive. | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
Alignment is good and execution is spot-on, that could be 52, 53. If it | :33:51. | :33:57. | |
is, it is still very and stop and all to play for! Doing very well so | :33:58. | :34:08. | |
far. 105. They are a class act and the best pairing. England are in | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
fourth place and only two medals will be awarded. Canada and | :34:13. | :34:17. | |
Australia in one and two. Joint silver medal. When we get to round | :34:18. | :34:26. | |
three, what is happening with the other pair who should have been | :34:27. | :34:36. | |
here? They both have a synchronised elbow injury on the same side. That | :34:37. | :34:42. | |
is a real shame and I wish them healing wishes. Get better soon. | :34:43. | :34:48. | |
Good to see you back soon. And we have another pair to keep you on | :34:49. | :34:58. | |
your toes. Do not get alarmed yet. The first two Brown is kind of | :34:59. | :35:03. | |
posturing. This is when things get serious. -- rounds, they are kind of | :35:04. | :35:13. | |
posturing. 3.2 four Tom Daley and James Denny. -- the Tom Daley. | :35:14. | :35:20. | |
Excellent synchronisation. Speeds are good. Distance from the diving | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
board are good, the entries are atrocious. Double surfboard moment. | :35:27. | :35:37. | |
Execution will only be seven because of the amount of splash. | :35:38. | :35:46. | |
Synchronisation is good. Yes, I thought it was all right. I thought | :35:47. | :35:53. | |
it was worth a nine. Not according to the judges. Finding life tough in | :35:54. | :36:04. | |
the early stages but three rounds to go. | :36:05. | :36:11. | |
Matthew Mitcham, involved in the three metre before. Back now for the | :36:12. | :36:20. | |
ten metre, a busy week. He did not do the three metre individual that | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
he will do the ten metre platform individual against Tom Daley. That | :36:25. | :36:30. | |
is Australia's and set a Team England leaving the door open. -- | :36:31. | :36:38. | |
and serve. The Australians have synchronisation going on. Matthew | :36:39. | :36:44. | |
Mitcham a bit further away from the diving board. His execution is | :36:45. | :36:52. | |
excellent. Dominik does throw up too much splash so he will be penalised. | :36:53. | :37:00. | |
-- Dominic Bedggood. Only a temporary difference between | :37:01. | :37:03. | |
Australia and England. The Jazz hands of Matthew Mitcham! He has an | :37:04. | :37:10. | |
excellent book out, well worth leading. -- well worth buying. | :37:11. | :37:20. | |
Ooi Tze Liang and Chew Yiwei of Malaysia, it in joint second after | :37:21. | :37:33. | |
round two. -- in joint. They will have three and a half somersault to | :37:34. | :37:41. | |
perform. A lower degree in. Chew Yiwei, closest to us, he moved | :37:42. | :37:48. | |
further away. His partner Ooi Tze Liang hits the water first. | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
Execution points will be low for Chew Yiwei. Ooi Tze Liang nailed | :37:54. | :38:06. | |
his. Seven, maybe? 7.5. 8.5 on one side. They have slipped behind | :38:07. | :38:13. | |
England. It is very tight between second and third. Not quite so tight | :38:14. | :38:19. | |
between first and second. This is the pairing that might shake things | :38:20. | :38:25. | |
up. They have not been tested as yet, now they will be. Maxim | :38:26. | :38:33. | |
Bouchard and Vincent Riendeau, of Canada. I am not quite sure on the | :38:34. | :38:40. | |
technique. I have never seen that before, both had their arms above | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
their head as they run to the board, but it seems to work. Different | :38:46. | :38:51. | |
distances from the diving board but that is the best Synchro we have | :38:52. | :38:58. | |
seen. Speed is good, entrance into the water at the same time. | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
the water Eight, bingo! Taxis are hard to come | :39:03. | :39:08. | |
by in Edinburgh but you do not need to hail them just yet, boys! Below | :39:09. | :39:16. | |
Australia and above England. Just railings have got a 7-point | :39:17. | :39:27. | |
advantage. -- the Australians. Nothing really sorting out. Still | :39:28. | :39:33. | |
very tight. The only extra step has been taken by Australia. Brown four | :39:34. | :39:47. | |
of six. -- round. Good support from the Commonwealth nations involved. | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
Not many of them. Malaysia, Australia, England and Scotland. We | :39:52. | :39:57. | |
had to Tonga this morning and New Zealand. -- we had. | :39:58. | :40:04. | |
Those are pretty much all the nations in diving, and I, of course. | :40:05. | :40:11. | |
-- India. What a shame. Looking good so far, | :40:12. | :40:34. | |
great synchronisation. This is James Denny's lack of experience showing. | :40:35. | :40:43. | |
Tom's is worth 7.5, eight, which is good. It is all right, still more to | :40:44. | :40:55. | |
go. They could be critical. Tom looks at the score board, he knew | :40:56. | :41:01. | |
what was coming. Those marks will not help them towards a Gold or | :41:02. | :41:06. | |
silver. These are the current leaders. They will be noting | :41:07. | :41:15. | |
everything around them. Reverse three and a half somersaults. They | :41:16. | :41:22. | |
just have the edge in the rest of the field, marginally. -- edge on. | :41:23. | :41:33. | |
We have almost seen exactly the same thing. The experienced diver Matthew | :41:34. | :41:41. | |
Mitcham, that is clean. Australia map row, less experienced, only 19, | :41:42. | :41:49. | |
he puts his on his face, almost. He over rotates. He will only get a | :41:50. | :41:55. | |
five. So Australia have not capitalised on the error from Tom | :41:56. | :42:02. | |
Daley and James. That has opened the door for Canada. I am not sure we | :42:03. | :42:08. | |
will get a smile from Matthew Mitcham. And his younger partner. | :42:09. | :42:15. | |
They will discuss that with their coach, but they know exactly what | :42:16. | :42:21. | |
they did wrong. Malaysia, they are not out of it. Very much in | :42:22. | :42:28. | |
contention. They had a three in the previous round. 3.2, this time. | :42:29. | :42:32. | |
Waiting for the referee. 3.2 degrees of difficulty, they | :42:33. | :42:51. | |
fourth at the moment. -- degree. If they get this right and project | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
themselves above, they could go into first place. Right on cue! | :42:57. | :43:03. | |
Tremendous effort. I was not sure which way it would go. That is the | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
best dive we have seen. Great synchronisation. Scores that cup -- | :43:09. | :43:21. | |
scores that have a cross do not count. There three marks for | :43:22. | :43:30. | |
synchronisation. 83.52. Two marks on the left and 32 -- and three on the | :43:31. | :43:37. | |
right. That will put them in the lead. Malaysia. The most consistent | :43:38. | :43:51. | |
team so far. I will say no more because I always get accused of the | :43:52. | :44:00. | |
commentator's curse. 3.2, Maxim Bouchard and Vincent Riendeau. | :44:01. | :44:12. | |
I take it back! You cannot take it back! As predicted by up, they have | :44:13. | :44:25. | |
been teamed up because they are good -- as predicted by Robert. Synchro | :44:26. | :44:32. | |
is not good, execution is off the mark by one of them. Consistency has | :44:33. | :44:38. | |
now changed to inconsistency. If I was that good, I would be a | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
commentator for higher who could predict the outcome of events, I do | :44:44. | :44:45. | |
not and I will not. themselves in reverse gear. But | :44:46. | :45:02. | |
there is not much between first and second. A gap between second and | :45:03. | :45:03. | |
third. But there are still plenty of third. But there are still plenty of | :45:04. | :45:15. | |
opportunities, a lot can change into rounds, especially this differential | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
-- degree of difficulty. rounds, especially this differential | :45:20. | :45:26. | |
getting all of the applause and a claim, that | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
getting all of the applause and a them. But some ground to be made | :45:31. | :45:31. | |
up. That is better, good | :45:32. | :45:47. | |
synchronisation, James Denny just over rotating, not quite as much as | :45:48. | :45:49. | |
he did on the previous dive. over rotating, not quite as much as | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
good, James Denny just over rotating. Throwing up loads of | :45:55. | :46:01. | |
splash. His score will be low, which is a shame, because the | :46:02. | :46:02. | |
synchronisation was good. is a shame, because the | :46:03. | :46:05. | |
be game over for a medal. is a shame, because the | :46:06. | :46:07. | |
only two medals in this is a shame, because the | :46:08. | :46:11. | |
gold and silver being given out. is a shame, because the | :46:12. | :46:18. | |
feel sorry for James Denny. He has not had a lot of time to prepare | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
with Tom Daley. The lack of training time is starting to show, ragged at | :46:24. | :46:30. | |
the edges. Just past the 300 barrier with that. But the dives are | :46:31. | :46:38. | |
completed and intricate, things can go wrong for the other pairs yet. | :46:39. | :46:51. | |
More experienced, but they can still make mistakes. They both went over | :46:52. | :46:58. | |
as they entered the water. A bit easier than their previous dives, | :46:59. | :47:05. | |
3.2. Good synchronisation, but different distances from the diving | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
board as well. A low scoring dive. It keeps everybody in it. Nobody | :47:11. | :47:16. | |
wants to win this! Pete, I know you are watching this at home, maybe we | :47:17. | :47:22. | |
should be in this! I like the idea of you and Gary Lineker! I have a | :47:23. | :47:30. | |
Commonwealth silver and bronze, I need a gold-medal! The Malaysian is, | :47:31. | :47:41. | |
the current leaders. Go on, boys, let's get the quality back-up. | :47:42. | :47:52. | |
That was a bit of a mistake from the current leaders, feeling the | :47:53. | :48:27. | |
pressure. A backward three and a half somersault is in the tuck | :48:28. | :48:30. | |
position. Slightly off on the spinning speeds, and they go way | :48:31. | :48:35. | |
over, so the execution marks will be low. What is going on here? Nobody | :48:36. | :48:43. | |
wants to win this! What is going on here? After a promising start, | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
everybody looked to be in with them, but they have lost their rhythm. | :48:50. | :48:55. | |
When the optional rounds start, things to go here and there. These | :48:56. | :49:00. | |
are the most difficult dives humanly possible, and they start to go | :49:01. | :49:03. | |
wrong. Can somebody right the wrong? Could it be Maxim Bouchard | :49:04. | :49:07. | |
and Vincent Riendeau? 81.15 will give them the lead above | :49:08. | :49:18. | |
Malaysian. I do not think the Canadians want | :49:19. | :49:35. | |
it, as well. He synchronisation is OK, but the execution is off. Flat | :49:36. | :49:44. | |
feet, Boots on, over they go. The diver closest to us throwing a | :49:45. | :49:49. | |
payload of splash. That is a bit better than the Malaysian 's. I | :49:50. | :49:54. | |
wonder where that will put them. It has bunched up again. Only 14 points | :49:55. | :49:59. | |
separates first place from last place. That is OK. They move into | :50:00. | :50:08. | |
third place, just behind the Australians. | :50:09. | :50:20. | |
Australia are very tight with Canada. England have got a lot to | :50:21. | :50:30. | |
do. Seven points behind second place. There is a huge dive to come | :50:31. | :50:39. | |
from James Denny and Tom Daley. Seniority for the man who has been | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
diving at the top level for almost a decade. This is an amazing dive. | :50:44. | :50:53. | |
Let's talk about the intricacies of this. They are going to nail it. In | :50:54. | :51:02. | |
theory! They saved their best till last, | :51:03. | :51:19. | |
getting! Yes! The pressure is on, the place is on their feet, I am on | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
my feet, that is what we needed to put pressure on. That will get way | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
over 90 points. They have smashed it. Will that be good enough for a | :51:29. | :51:35. | |
medal? Three pairs to go. Let's wait and see. There is the gauntlet, | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
let's see what Australia, Malaysia and Canada think to that. I told you | :51:41. | :51:51. | |
it was big. That is big. Where did that come from? That came out of | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
absolutely nowhere. They are celebrating as if they have a medal. | :51:58. | :52:03. | |
Do not count your chickens. They are celebrating nailing one of the | :52:04. | :52:06. | |
hardest dives in the world. In the Commonwealth Games. And they did it | :52:07. | :52:14. | |
with aplomb. The Australians have got a big one of their own. Not | :52:15. | :52:22. | |
quite as high as the English pair, but they have the advantage of quite | :52:23. | :52:23. | |
a few points. They have picked up the gold led! | :52:24. | :52:37. | |
This will be close. This will be close. Which way is it going to go? | :52:38. | :52:48. | |
This is going to be all chart type. My goodness, let's wait and see what | :52:49. | :52:52. | |
the scores are. I cannot split them. That is bang on the money. That is | :52:53. | :53:01. | |
going to get 85 points plus. Can you believe it is Mac the gap between | :53:02. | :53:05. | |
first and second is 0.18. It is in favour of those two. | :53:06. | :53:18. | |
Matthew Mitcham has two silver medals so far. Maybe now considering | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
the prospect of a gold-medal. England cannot win it. Australia | :53:24. | :53:29. | |
still can. There are only two medals, two more pairs to go. It has | :53:30. | :53:34. | |
turned out to be a very eventful ten meter synchro. The quality has not | :53:35. | :53:40. | |
been there until the last two dives, but it is picking up at the right | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
time. A lower tariff dive for the Malaysian 's. 82.2 will put them | :53:46. | :53:52. | |
above the Australians. 82.05 will put them above England. | :53:53. | :54:08. | |
That will not be good enough. That will not get above Australia or | :54:09. | :54:17. | |
England. They are slightly out of time. The execution is off. They | :54:18. | :54:26. | |
will be ten or 20 points behind. A lower degree of difficulty. A good | :54:27. | :54:32. | |
effort, but no medal today. Third place is the best | :54:33. | :54:33. | |
effort, but no medal today. Third they can do, and there is no medal | :54:34. | :54:35. | |
for third. they can do, and there is no medal | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
Only one question remains. Can Canada do it? Australia think they | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
have the God medal, England believe they have the silver medal. Only one | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
pair can prevent that from happening. The equation is | :54:49. | :54:57. | |
straightforward. 90, that is a big ask of Maxim Bouchard and Vincent | :54:58. | :54:58. | |
Riendeau. The degree of difficulty is not high | :54:59. | :55:08. | |
compared to the others. It is good, but that will not be | :55:09. | :55:27. | |
good enough for a medal. They are going to finish third or fourth. The | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
medals will go to Australia and England, and they are split by the | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
narrowest of margins. It is an OK dive. | :55:37. | :55:39. | |
narrowest of margins. It is an OK themselves, but loads of people make | :55:40. | :55:40. | |
mistakes. Amazing. 7.5 and eight on the execution, they | :55:41. | :55:58. | |
finished in fourth place. Malaysian finishing in third place. 0.18 in a | :55:59. | :56:07. | |
400 competition separating Australia and England. Let's say the makeshift | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
partnership of Tom Daley and James Denny, they have pulled it out of | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
Denny, they have pulled it out of the bag with that sixth round dive, | :56:18. | :56:25. | |
with everything looking lost. We had written off their chances of getting | :56:26. | :56:26. | |
a medal, to written off their chances of getting | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
have got a 3.6 in the locker, or a 3.8, all kinds of things are | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
possible. They made it 3.8, all kinds of things are | :56:36. | :56:41. | |
the final round dive. Not quite enough to get | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
the final round dive. Not quite only denied by 0.18. The Australians | :56:45. | :56:51. | |
have picked up minor medals all the way through, they have their first | :56:52. | :56:55. | |
gold medal of the week. Domonic Bedggood and Matthew Mitcham. | :56:56. | :57:05. | |
The Malaysian 's and the Canadians present, but neither of them will | :57:06. | :57:13. | |
get medals. Only a gold and silver awarded, and that will be very soon | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
indeed. That was an interesting competition. It had good, bad and | :57:19. | :57:25. | |
indifferent. The last round is where things start to happen, both the | :57:26. | :57:31. | |
individual and... Let's look at some of the dives of James Denny and Tom | :57:32. | :57:37. | |
Daley. They got it together right at the very end. The smiles back on | :57:38. | :57:44. | |
their faces. The Australian pair putting some very good performances. | :57:45. | :57:50. | |
The Canadian pair started strongly, but at the tariff was increased, | :57:51. | :58:25. | |
but there were mistakes from everybody. The synchronisation was | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
very good. There were some faults on the execution. That is diving. I | :58:30. | :58:32. | |
cannot believe how close it was. Unbelievable. Will they be | :58:33. | :58:38. | |
frustrated, because it was so close? Yes, they smashed their last | :58:39. | :58:44. | |
dive. The roof came off, the place nearly had to be put back together. | :58:45. | :58:49. | |
It was an extraordinary final dive. You have got to do a consistent list | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
of dives. Why was the last dive so good? It carries a difficulty of | :58:54. | :58:59. | |
3.7. It could go disastrously wrong. But when you get it right, they got | :59:00. | :59:06. | |
95 points on it. They went right up to the top spot, but only to be | :59:07. | :59:11. | |
taken by the Australians. The reaction of the rest of England was | :59:12. | :59:16. | |
fantastic. Tom Daley is a global star, and if you are an outsider, | :59:17. | :59:21. | |
you think, I wonder if they think, Tom, Tom, Tom. Clearly, they do not. | :59:22. | :59:27. | |
Every driver that has taken to the board gets the same support. We have | :59:28. | :59:32. | |
got many superstars here, and he is just one of the many. It has been a | :59:33. | :59:37. | |
great performance, and it was almost a gold-medal. It has been difficult | :59:38. | :59:42. | |
for him to find a partner. How important is it to find the perfect | :59:43. | :59:47. | |
partner? I do not know if there is a perfect partner, that there is | :59:48. | :59:51. | |
compatibility. They were put together just to see if they were | :59:52. | :59:56. | |
matched. On the lower boards, they have the potential, but they have | :59:57. | :00:01. | |
different goals this year. They have only had chance to come together | :00:02. | :00:05. | |
now. In the short space of time, they have done really well. This is | :00:06. | :00:13. | |
their second dive, it did not start off great. We were all excited. They | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
were not setting the world alight with those first couple. The second | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
was off the mark. Interesting choice. They are at different | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
speeds. It is rough around the edges. But they have just got | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
together. To be thrown together at the last | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
minute knowing you have potential means you are a rough diamond. But | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
they did do risky dives, how much confidence does that give you? In | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
this pairing, there is potential. And Daniel and Matthew who are not | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
here, that will be great competition. These guys did great | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
competition today, we have two good pairs in England. Congratulations, | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
was that as you expected? We did not know what to expect because we only | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
started training together on Friday. So we have trained for one week and | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
we have done three sessions so happy with that. I just said to James, | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
give it everything. Give it everything you have got and who | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
knows? Everything can happen in diving. I could hear that in the | :01:32. | :01:41. | |
Tate is and I was like, no! -- the commentators. James did a great | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
job. James, your first Commonwealth Games, silver medal, how does that | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
make you feel? Great. The previous two were not what I wanted. But to | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
finish in the dive I did was amazing. Diving alongside Tom Daley, | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
there is expectation. Did you feel the weight of pressure? Yes, | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
throughout the competition, he was giving me things to focus on. So it | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
does help the built throughout the competition. What next, occur one? | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Considering we nearly went 400 when we only did one good dive, we are | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
going into the European Championships and we will enter the | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
individual and the synchronisation. With more training, we could go far. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
If this is a rehearsal for Brazil, how far could you go? Who knows? It | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
is diving. Yesterday's competition, the World Cup bronze medallist did a | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
failed dive, anything can happen but we will work as hard as we can to be | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
in good shape. Ben and Chris spent 15 hours playing computer Games! I | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
worry about them! Are you looking forward to tomorrow? Excited, we are | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
going to be diving tomorrow, exciting stuff and it will be tough | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
against Olympic champion Matthew Mitcham. Congratulations, silver | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
medal, we look forward to the next chapter for you two. So Tom defends | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
his title tomorrow, can he retain it? I think so, he is in great form. | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
He has got six dives to do, let's see what happens. I am delighted | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
everybody is smiling, I look forward to watching this partnership. Gary, | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
you are not getting out of this diving, we are looking forward to | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
seeing Gary Lineker in the ten metre! | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
You will have to wait a long time! I can assure you. But there is an old | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
saying, you are only as good as your last dive and that was pretty good. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Tom starts his defence of his title tomorrow morning. Lining up | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
alongside him is 14-year-old Matthew Dixon and if all goes well, both of | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
them will be in the final at 7:30pm tomorrow night. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
And on BBC Three, there is the boxing semifinals. That will | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
continue until ten o'clock. If this wonderful Games has inspired | :04:23. | :04:39. | |
you to find out more about sport, go to the page on the BBC website. | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
There is so much information on all sports, including how to join local | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
clubs, and it is the summer holidays so get involved! There is a great | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
piece on that website and Johns -- in Jazmin Sawyers who took silver | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
last night. Before that, she was a bobsleigh. And we can join Robbie -- | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
and we can join Gabby now in Hampden Park. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
We have sunshine, warm weather and Denise has even requested a fine! | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
You will hear more from these guests soon. -- ban. It is the men's ten K, | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
no Mo Farah but plenty of talent as Steve Cram and Brendan Foster will | :05:35. | :05:35. | |
tell you. It is a big field, which is great to | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
see. It does not include Mo Farah, sadly. He decided not to come to the | :05:44. | :05:57. | |
Commonwealth Games, which is a shame. He is training in high | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
altitude. He will no Kirui who ran against him in the final in 2011. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Jonathan Mel are of England's, our against him in the final in 2011. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
only representative. And Chris Thomson, who is also with Mo Farah, | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
training and trying to recover. And the | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
training and trying to recover. And is here. Kipsiro. From the Isle of | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
Man, his emblem has been sewed onto the back of his shirt. But it is not | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
a commercial emblem! Luke Caldwell of Scotland. Could the Canadian get | :06:38. | :06:52. | |
amongst the leaders? Paul Pollock representing Northern Ireland. | :06:53. | :07:09. | |
Callum Hawkins, from Scotland. We have seen a lot of brothers and | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
sisters competing. His older brother Derek ran in the marathon on the | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
first day of the athletics programme. Griffiths, | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
first day of the athletics Rwanda is well represented here. I | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
said it was Rwanda is well represented here. I | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
the three Kenyan runners will be the ones we watch. This is the Kenyan | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
champion. He might be a good bet. ones we watch. This is the Kenyan | :07:37. | :07:57. | |
Two lines. That is their national emblem, does that need to take top? | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
That is silly! He does win the prize for the best shirt, that is good. | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
Andrew Lemoncello has represented Great Britain in the steeplechase | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
and it is his best events, his performances were pretty good, but | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
he has moved away from that event. We have just seen the steeplechase | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
and he is now running the 10,000 metres. And. The conditions -- and | :08:25. | :08:35. | |
the conditions here are quite warm. This man will not mind that. We see | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
him often on the circuit. Not a great exponent of the 10,000 metres. | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
Andrew Lemoncello. Harry Summers of Australia. This is the second line. | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
Because there are so many athletes, they have to line those guys up. | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
They are not getting a head start. They have to run round the outside. | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
The men's 10,000 metre final, 25 laps in the sunshine in Hampden Park | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
in Glasgow. A lovely evening. If you are going out round bellied Houston | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
Park, -- round the park, it might be tough, it is as warm as we have seen | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
for the last couple of days. Not what the athletes would have been | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
hoping for. Brendan, we would normally sit and talk about the | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
likely dominance of Kenya but look at the three men in this race, Kirui | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
has a good pedigree, he has won the Kenyan Championships. There may have | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
been other Kenya athletes who had the ability to come here. I am not | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
sure whether these three will entirely have this their own way. | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
They are not the three best Kenyan athletes. However, tonight, in a | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
major championship, the Commonwealth Games 10,000 metres, we may see some | :10:19. | :10:27. | |
of them improve on that performance. They are not looking for a fast time | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
and there is no reason to look for a fast time in a championship. Summers | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
of Australia, happy to lead them. They do not get many opportunities | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
to run the 10,000 metres. The crowd are dissipating another strong | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
grace, they are expecting Kenya to feature. -- strong race. Kipsiro is | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
the champion, do not forget. He is defending his title. He could not | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
defend it in the 5,000 metres. Let's see if he can defend it in the | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
10,000 metres. This is the story so far on the | :11:07. | :11:32. | |
other final. -- in. Going clear in his second attempt. The tall | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
Scotsman, annex gymnast. He got to talk for gymnastics. -- a former | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
gymnast. He tried events in gymnastics. In third place | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
currently. Or at this stage, he was. A clearance of five metres 45. He | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
had a bit to spare. Six foot six. That is very tall and pole vaulting. | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
-- in. He is over. A bit of advice from the coach. One of two | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
Englishmen left. Luke Cutts. Very convincing in the early stages. And | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
again, at this height... He looks in control. A clean sheet so far. He | :12:28. | :12:40. | |
has had a neck injury. Many think he is best placed to take the Gold | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
medal this afternoon. We have a Scotsman clear. We also have Luke | :12:46. | :12:55. | |
Cutts who broke the indoor record. Six months ago. This is the other | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
Englishmen, Steve Lewis, fifth in the Olympic Games, bronze medal, | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
silver medal in Delhi. A close shave at 55. He did give | :13:07. | :13:20. | |
that a wobble. Slightly nervous. But it did stay up. Steve Lewis. He does | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
like to feel his weight into a competition. -- feel his way. Luke | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
Cutts is more of a maverick, if I can say that. He throws himself into | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
the competition. Steve Lewis did give it a wobble. Two Englishmen go | :13:40. | :13:51. | |
clear. Surely getting close to the medals? So it is over to the | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
Scotsman. Can he join the two English man? --. Final attempt. My | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
word, that looked as though it stayed! He looks in pain. The result | :14:12. | :14:24. | |
of a failure, a third time failure. It looked as though he had cleared | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
it, but he gave it a wobble and it dislodged the bar from those | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
supports. And the Scotsman, 21 years of age, his competition is over. | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
Fourth place will be confirmed with that previous clearance. Look at | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
this, it is in the way down, his chest. We can see the supports to | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
the side. He goes off sideways and that is a loss of energy. If only | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
that could have gone straight up and down. And it hit him on the head as | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
well. Scottish record, many high hopes for | :15:06. | :15:25. | |
him. He has been in the USA, trying to snatch a medal in the pole vault. | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
One or two of the Scottish athletes in this 10,000 metres raised in the | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
US, Callum Hawkins. The pace has slowed down a bit. They are jogging | :15:39. | :15:50. | |
a bit now. Peter Kirui and Josphat Bett, and Charles Cheruiyot have | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
gone to the front. They are not doing anything yet. The pack | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
squeezes up again. Andrew Lemoncello, the tall figure on the | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
outside, based in America now. He had a good go at the marathon, we | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
have seen him run half marathons before. There he is, in the blue | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
vest of Scotland. Coming up on the outside. Josphat Bett on the inside. | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
And there is Jonathan Mellor, in the red and white vest of England, in | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
the middle of the pack. He is our only representative. This was going | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
to be the Mo Farah show, but we only have one representative. I think Mo | :16:40. | :16:51. | |
Farah misses it. We have got Paul Pollock, he had a great year at the | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
marathon last year, he qualified for the World Championships for Great | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
Britain, running for Northern Ireland tonight. Peter Kirui | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
leading. They are almost 3000 metres, just keep surging. For the | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
British contingent, the Australians, the New Zealanders, | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
they prefer it to be steady. It is a fairly warm night, a lovely night. | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
Mo Farah or not, I am sure the crowd are getting really into this event. | :17:28. | :17:28. | |
Mo Farah or not, I am sure the crowd The wind and contingent well | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
represented. He has not been too far from the lead. It has gone up and | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
down a bit. Charles Cheruiyot has down a bit. Charles Cheruiyot has | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
bit. He will change the down a bit. Charles Cheruiyot has | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
last few laps, down a bit. Charles Cheruiyot has | :17:58. | :18:11. | |
69.4, you want the early laps, when it is not too hard, keep your eyes | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
away from the lap scorer. If you are feeling tired, you look at it and it | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
can affect you. The other two Scottish athletes in there, Luke | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
Caldwell, and Callum Hawkins, from the barking athletic club, a big | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
football fan. He supports the great football club submarine. There is | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
Jonathan Mellor and Andrew Lemoncello. | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
You can see the athletes going around the top end, where the | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
pole-vault continues. We are back live, we have seen three failures | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
from the Englishman, which means there is a jump off. Two of the | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Englishman going for gold. Both of them knocked it off on the | :19:09. | :19:28. | |
first attempt. Luke Cutts will go again. And unfortunate first failure | :19:29. | :19:40. | |
for Steve Lewis. The pole-vault keeping the crowd entertained on the | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
top vendor. The athletes are heading towards them on the back straight. | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
You can see the pace is being picked up initially by Charles Cheruiyot. | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
He is now just watching and waiting. The three Kenyans, we were talking | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
about whether Peter Kirui and Josphat Bett and Charles Cheruiyot | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
were at the best standard. They have got good pedigree, when Josphat Bett | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
one World Junior Championship is, he ran a startling time. He did improve | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
from that. When Mo Farah broke the British record in 2011, this guy was | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
third. He was with Mo Farah at the start of the last lap, but he has | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
not developed from there. This is an effort from Josphat Bett to break | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
this up. He has followed Charles Cheruiyot through. The field is now | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
completely stretched. Yes, that was a 65 second lap, by far the fastest | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
of the race so far. The gaps are opening, stretching a little. You | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
have got to hold it all the way back along the back straight. | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
have got to hold it all the way back Bett looking strong. They are | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
passing the pole-vault, we have got our eye on Steve Lewis and who. | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
Josphat Bett leading get at the moment. A bit further down the | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
field, Andrew Lemoncello struggling a bit. The Canadian is looking | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
comfortable. Keith Gerard started to struggle. As is Paul Pollock, and | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
Callum Hawkins. That is a slower lap. They are going | :21:25. | :21:41. | |
quick, easing off, going quick. It is not always the easiest way to run | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
it. Josphat Bett letting people know how he feels. The bar has been | :21:46. | :21:55. | |
lowered. The first man to go clear will win. Luke Cutts at 5.55. | :21:56. | :22:07. | |
A really interesting battle pole-vault. The two English athletes | :22:08. | :22:28. | |
going for the gold medal. Who is going to win the gold medal? | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
Remember the race in going to win the gold medal? | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
2002, the 10,000 metres, three of them, it was a brilliant sprint over | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
the last lap. The three medals were in doubt until the last three or | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
four strides. I wonder whether we are in for something like this, | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
because you would not want to pick a winner, even the three Kenyans. They | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
have had an easy ride so far, it has been comfortable. A bit of a change | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
of pace, but regular laps. Coming up to the halfway point. | :23:05. | :23:14. | |
A lot of these athletes in this field will be comfortable at that | :23:15. | :23:23. | |
pace. The second half of the race, you would suggest it would be faster | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
than the first half. There are a few athletes who can run in that matter | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
-- in that manner. Steve Lewis for the gold medal. He is clear! | :23:35. | :23:46. | |
England's Steve Lewis is clear. It is the equivalent of a penalty shoot | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
out, 5.55. A jump off, and the man who took the silver medal four years | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
ago now has the full set, to add to his bronze medal in 2006. A | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
wonderful competition, it is a gold medal for Steve Lewis, and a silver | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
medal for Luke Cutts. The cross of St George already | :24:07. | :24:20. | |
draped around his shoulders. What that must mean for Luke Cutts. -- | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
for Steve Lewis! Fifth in the Olympic Games in 2012. Luke Cutts, | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
that is the equivalent of a dead heat. Going to almost a photo | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
finish. Steve Lewis, huge congratulations. 28 years of age. It | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
could not have been tighter. It was a wonderful clearance in the end, | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
5.55. Maybe his experience told ahead of this man, two. -- Luke | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
Cutts. 26 years of age. I am looking down the list, this man took the | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
bronze medal. It was a gold medal for Steve Lewis. What a moment for | :25:15. | :25:26. | |
Steve Lewis, he has had a difficult year. I have spoken to whom a couple | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
of times. What a brilliant evening for him. A penalty shoot out, Steve | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
said, in the pole-vault. A gold for England and Steve Lewis. The new | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
leader, from Rwanda. He is in the front here, leading from Peter | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
Kirui, Jake Robertson, the New Zealander, who fell in the 5000 | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
metres, and Moses Kipsiro moving up. The Ugandan is starting to take | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
closer order. The defending champion in eighth place, in the red. He | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
senses the race is beginning to get moving. We have got Dewi Griffiths | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
being lapped. Nothing happening yet, nobody is trying to win this yet or | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
completely break up the group. So many men in contention. There is no | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
strong favourite, no athlete here who has come to this race thinking, | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
I will be the one. We have been who has come to this race thinking, | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
to watching Mo Farah running these big races. We have been used | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
to watching Mo Farah running these approach, saying, I am going to | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
control it from my position and come out in the last lap and when it. | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
There is uncertainty here, lots of out in the last lap and when it. | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
athlete running well, lots of athlete capable of running well, but | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
nobody has imposed themselves on this event. Peter Kirui leading. | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
Just feeling OK. But nothing much happening at all. It is good to see | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
Jake Robertson, after his fall in the 5000 metres, taking close order. | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
The race beginning to start, nine laps to go. Peter Kirui is leading, | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
we have just seen a gold medal in the pole-vault for England, and we | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
can bring you up to date with what happened in the women's high jump | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
earlier on this evening. It was perfect conditions. It concluded | :27:28. | :27:35. | |
earlier. It was the tall figure of Isobel Pooley. She is 1.91 metres | :27:36. | :27:46. | |
tall. This height is 1.92. The first time she has ever looked up to a | :27:47. | :27:54. | |
bar. Look at her reaction. That went into the lead. First-time clearances | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
right through. A personal best. At that time, it | :27:58. | :28:06. | |
was the best. A personal best. At that time, it | :28:07. | :28:19. | |
raised the bar to 1.94. She went clear. 18 years of age, she opted to | :28:20. | :28:29. | |
come here instead of the world junior games. I am sure the winner | :28:30. | :28:43. | |
of the world junior games... It was close, because Spencer skipped 1.94. | :28:44. | :28:52. | |
of the world junior games... It was She had this final attempt at 1.96. | :28:53. | :28:54. | |
The 30-year-old from St Lucia. was not a gold medal tonight. She | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
took the bronze medal between -- behind Isobel Pooley, which handed | :29:02. | :29:09. | |
the gold medal to Elaine Patterson. It would have an achievement for | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
Isobel Pooley. Her coach told me she was in shape. Boy, was he right. | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
Well done. here. They are really beginning to | :29:20. | :29:41. | |
get warmed up by the 10,000 metres. We have less than seven laps to go. | :29:42. | :29:52. | |
Kirui has been the leader for the last few laps, and his team-mate, | :29:53. | :30:00. | |
Bett, has been behind him. Slowly it is getting quicker. Six | :30:01. | :30:34. | |
laps to go, and when they get down to four or five, they start thinking | :30:35. | :30:40. | |
about their plans. The group is getting smaller, just by constant | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
pace. The pace of the second half is clearly faster than the first half. | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
There are now nine in that group. All of the big Kenyans, as expected, | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
are there. Jake Robinson of New Zealand is there. Evans of Canada is | :30:54. | :31:02. | |
also running well. Well, this man, Kirui, he is making his living on | :31:03. | :31:12. | |
the roads. In April, he ran a personal best in the half marathon | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
in Prague, and he ended up in Honolulu one week later. That is how | :31:16. | :31:26. | |
these Kenyans are sometimes racing these days. I am not sure the | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
Commonwealth Games was in his plans, back in April. But here is. The | :31:31. | :31:44. | |
Canadian at the back of the lead group, who trains with Mo Farah, and | :31:45. | :31:47. | |
may have a little bit of pace. of England has dropped out. | :31:48. | :32:13. | |
BRENDAN FOSTER: This is getting interesting now. In amongst that | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
group is the champion. We know he is quick at the finish. We know he is | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
not running against the very best in the world, as he has done on the | :32:23. | :32:28. | |
last few occasions. Cam Levins of Canada, and the other Canadian in | :32:29. | :32:31. | |
there as well. And Jake Robinson, well, him and his brother have done | :32:32. | :32:41. | |
a good job in this last week. Jake is taking on these Kenyans. Well, he | :32:42. | :32:55. | |
knows them well, he lives - there! They have emigrated from New Zealand | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
to live there. Now, the gaps are opening. | :33:00. | :33:06. | |
STEVE CRAM: Ahmed of Canada just moved up as well. So, Robertson, | :33:07. | :33:25. | |
tucked in on the inside. The Canadian, who ran in the World | :33:26. | :33:28. | |
Championships last year in Moscow, and finished ninth. And now, he goes | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
to the front for the first time. When they come round, there will be | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
three laps to go. He is trying to break this group up, Ahmed. The | :33:37. | :33:42. | |
defending champion, Kipsiro, still in that group. Ahmed hit the front, | :33:43. | :33:53. | |
which almost brought them to life. Three laps to go in the Menston | :33:54. | :33:56. | |
thousand metres. And there is a group of eight athletes in | :33:57. | :34:03. | |
contention. You would not like to put a bet on where this one is going | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
to go. We do not know enough about these athletes, and their finishing. | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
They very rarely run against each other in competitive races like | :34:13. | :34:17. | |
this. We see them running in the Diamond | :34:18. | :34:17. | |
this. We see them running in the the 10,000m is not a common event in | :34:18. | :34:24. | |
the Diamond League. Cam Levins moving through. And I think he and | :34:25. | :34:29. | |
Jake Robinson are doing the right thing, trying to split up the | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
Kenyans. Well, it is starting to get moving, in terms of the tension. We | :34:35. | :34:41. | |
are into the last 1000 metres. The three Kenyans, with Cam Levins | :34:42. | :34:47. | |
looking ominous. Mohammed Ahmed, his team-mate, is looking tired, as is | :34:48. | :34:51. | |
the defending champion, Kipsiro, but do not write him off just yet. With | :34:52. | :34:57. | |
two laps to go, the New Zealander does not have the pace of some of | :34:58. | :35:01. | |
the other athletes. Cam Levins will be getting more and more confident, | :35:02. | :35:05. | |
I think. He needs to make sure that he either covers the move or makes | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
the right move himself. The Kenyans are good, but these are not the | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
quickest sprinting Kenyans that we know. And Cam Levins may be able | :35:13. | :35:15. | |
quickest sprinting Kenyans that we cause them a bit of a problem. Well, | :35:16. | :35:27. | |
the pace is still only 67. They still have not done anything just it | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
is not excessively hard. It is going to be quick, we know that, it has to | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
be quick, to sort this one out. Medals are available. There was a | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
little bit of a push. In the old days you used to be told to move | :35:42. | :35:46. | |
out. That clearly is not a convention any more. Now, who is | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
going to make the first move? The training partner of Mo Farah, Cam | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
Levins, has he got the speed of Mo Farah? Jake Robinson is making the | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
first move! There goes Robinson, in the famous black vest of New | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
Zealand! It is interesting what is happening now. Kirui is holding him | :36:05. | :36:12. | |
off. Charles Cheruiyot is still there, as indeed is the | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
off. Charles Cheruiyot is still champion, who has just gone past his | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
team-mate. Moses Kipsiro at the back of the group, and he can kick. Has | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
he got anything left in his legs? Look at Kipsiro, in the red! | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
Robinson has gone. It is one from Canada, one from Uganda, three from | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
Kenya. Look at Cam Levins! He stretches out! They are chasing him. | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
Kipsiro, the defending champion, does not want to give this up | :36:41. | :36:45. | |
easily. Levins, has he got the power? Taking on Bett and Kipsiro! | :36:46. | :36:52. | |
This would be a big surprise! Kipsiro looking for room on the | :36:53. | :36:57. | |
inside. Levins kicks again. Can he lasted out? Kipsiro on the inside! | :36:58. | :37:04. | |
Who wins it? Kipsiro! In the last stride! I think the defending | :37:05. | :37:13. | |
champion, on the inside, as won his second Commonwealth title. The | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
Kenyan arms are up. Well, I think Kipsiro wins that, Brendan. Bett | :37:19. | :37:24. | |
does not know it. Maybe he did not see him. But if I was a betting man, | :37:25. | :37:30. | |
which of course neither of us are, I would say Kipsiro has got that one. | :37:31. | :37:36. | |
He has got it! It is on the screen! It is on the screen, the defending | :37:37. | :37:43. | |
champion, not a great run in the 5,000m, but there | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
champion, not a great run in the down. I do not know if he knows yet. | :37:47. | :37:52. | |
The camera is on the champion, he has defended his title just what a | :37:53. | :37:57. | |
finish that was, what a race it was in the latter stages. It was not a | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
classic, that it was a fantastic last lap. Moses Kipsiro, and I | :38:01. | :38:07. | |
remember Mo Farah telling me, you do not want Moses Kipsiro near you in | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
the finishing straight. You have got to run the finish out of him. He won | :38:11. | :38:20. | |
the 5,000m and 10,000m in Delhi. And there are his supporters. Another | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
gold medal for Moses Kipsiro just look at the strapping on his knee, | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
he has clearly got a problem with his leg. He was never close to the | :38:28. | :38:38. | |
front at all. Levins, in third place, the bronze medal, and he is | :38:39. | :38:42. | |
happy with that. He nearly won it, he really did. He just did not do | :38:43. | :38:51. | |
enough in the back straight. So, Kipsiro celebrating. The three | :38:52. | :39:04. | |
Kenyans. Here we are, 500 metres to go. There are those Jake Robinson of | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
New go. There are those Jake Robinson of | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
for home. Can he make it? At this point, look at Kipsiro, about seven. | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
And on the outside, Cam Levins is getting ready to make his run. He | :39:19. | :39:22. | |
really looks as though he has done enough leading. But on the outside, | :39:23. | :39:29. | |
they are still in contention, and look at Kipsiro. Look at that burst | :39:30. | :39:35. | |
on the outside. Ahmet almost tripped. Kipsiro is in fourth place, | :39:36. | :39:44. | |
and Levins has made his move. Look at those lapped runners, they really | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
should have moved out of the way, but they didn't. So, here comes | :39:48. | :39:55. | |
Levins, with Bett on his shoulder. Kipsiro on the inside, looking for a | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
chance. There is yet. As they chase down. Levins But he has run out of | :40:01. | :40:07. | |
chance. There is yet. As they chase legs. That little space on the | :40:08. | :40:12. | |
inside, and Kipsiro slips through. Bett thinks he has won it, and | :40:13. | :40:19. | |
almost slows. Kipsiro, running like a sprinter, crosses the line, wins | :40:20. | :40:22. | |
the gold medal, like he has done before. | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
STEVE CRAM: Well, he is the only man ever to have defended either the six | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
mile or the 10,000m title. Paula Radcliffe, you must have enjoyed | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
that finish. Cam Levins, we know him well, he was leading for a bit. | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
PAULA RADCLIFFE: Yes, you have got to feel for him. He just slightly | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
misjudged that race, but he went for it and gave it everything he had. In | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
these closing stages, he knows he has got Kipsiro on his inside, and | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
you can see him trying to maintain his form. One of those Sprint drills | :40:57. | :41:02. | |
which Alberto has him going through, when he is doing the training with | :41:03. | :41:09. | |
Mo Farah. But he just cannot quite yet enough to hold off Kipsiro, who | :41:10. | :41:12. | |
is desperately reaching for that line. And he holds onto his title | :41:13. | :41:20. | |
from four years ago. Restore thinks he has won it on the outside, but | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
Kipsiro just nips through on the inside. When he thinks about it, I | :41:26. | :41:31. | |
think Cam Levins will be happy with the bronze medal. | :41:32. | :41:42. | |
Well, that is Uganda's first medal inside the stadium. The winning | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
margin was less than the winning margin in the 100m - how about | :41:47. | :41:48. | |
that? GABBY LOGAN: What a finish. Michael | :41:49. | :42:01. | |
made the point that Levins let's Kipsiro incomer doesn't he? I do not | :42:02. | :42:08. | |
know. He is working so hard on trying to maintain his form. I do | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
not think he looked up at the screen, I think he was just | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
thinking, keep my form, keep my shoulders, give it everything I have | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
got. Bett thinks he has won it, but Kipsiro does it, he has been taking | :42:21. | :42:28. | |
tips from Colin Jackson! MICHAEL JOHNSON: One of the things | :42:29. | :42:32. | |
of doing the relay is, you hold the inside of your lane. He is on the | :42:33. | :42:39. | |
outside of his lane, which allows the other one through. If he was on | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
the inside of his lane, then Kipsiro has got to go around the peril of | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
them. Yes, I think he just went slightly wide as he came into the | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
straight. Had he moved in then, he might have got tripped from behind. | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
I think he was just trying to give everything that he could. Let's go | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
to find out what the winner has got to say. | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
Moses come a tremendous performance, you have defended your gold medal - | :43:08. | :43:14. | |
described your emotions. I am very happy, and I thank God. I was not | :43:15. | :43:23. | |
expecting this. I have been having a lot of injuries, the knee was very | :43:24. | :43:29. | |
painful. So, I say, no, I am not going to take part in this. But | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
something deep inside was telling me, you can do it. You can make it. | :43:34. | :43:39. | |
And then I stuck to it, and really, I am very happy now. I am glad you | :43:40. | :43:46. | |
listened to that voice inside your head, because you won another gold | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
medal. You saw the space on the inside and you took it. Yes, coming | :43:51. | :43:58. | |
to 300 metres, I was feeling, I have still got enough energy. 200, 100m | :43:59. | :44:05. | |
to go, I say, no, I need to put all my energy to the finishing line. I | :44:06. | :44:10. | |
took the chance on the inside line and I say, God help me, let me push, | :44:11. | :44:15. | |
push, push. When I got to the finishing line, it was just amazing. | :44:16. | :44:25. | |
Isobel Pooley there. She comes away with a silver medal from the high | :44:26. | :44:32. | |
jump. That is great progress for her, Denise Lewis, isn't it? It is. | :44:33. | :44:40. | |
Once you are over 1.90, I guess, in the Commonwealth, you are going to | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
get away with it. But she is still young, still working out the | :44:45. | :44:51. | |
technique. Would she have expected that silver medal? I do not think | :44:52. | :44:54. | |
so. It is about being competitive, and she certainly did that. She has | :44:55. | :45:09. | |
got a range of options to pursue, hasn't she? Absolutely. She won the | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
world Junior Championships, clearing 1.93, so it would have been great to | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
see her in this competition, but again, you make your choices. But | :45:20. | :45:27. | |
great for the English athlete nonetheless. And Eleanor Patterson | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
of Australia took gold. We move swiftly on to the 800m. Last | :45:32. | :46:39. | |
night, we saw David Rudisha pipped by Amos who took the gold for | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
Botswana. It was a thrilling race. The women now are going to do battle | :46:45. | :46:48. | |
over two laps. There is plenty of home nations interest. Jessica Judd | :46:49. | :46:59. | |
what a young talent she is. Listen to the noise. Jenny Meadows just a | :47:00. | :47:05. | |
hints she's getting some of her pace back. Lindsay sharp sets off at a | :47:06. | :47:13. | |
decent pace. As the rain pours down and the crowd cheer for the English | :47:14. | :47:19. | |
women, Jessica Judd on the outside. Lindsay Sharp is struggling. Jenny | :47:20. | :47:27. | |
Meadows looks comfortable. Jess Judd being roared by the great crowd. | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
She's not going to make it unless she does something Judd finish | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
miraculous. Ing quickly. I don't know why she left things as late as | :47:36. | :47:42. | |
she did. Paula, you mentor Jess Judd. What | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
have been your final words? Relish being here. Take the energy from the | :47:49. | :47:51. | |
crowd and just run from your heart. Of course we want that for all the | :47:52. | :47:56. | |
home nations runners. Here's Steve Cram. | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
What a race we have in prospect here. What an opportunity for the | :48:01. | :48:14. | |
home nations. Tough qualifications. They are all up against the world | :48:15. | :48:16. | |
champion in lane three. So, Jenny Meadows at 33 years of | :48:17. | :48:47. | |
age, a European indoor champion, a world indoor Silver Medal, a world | :48:48. | :48:53. | |
bronze medal outdoor, European bronze medal, one of our best ever | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
800m runners, still looking to come and try to steal a medal, hold off | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
the charge of the youngsters. She's still a junior, Jess Judd, but she's | :49:04. | :49:07. | |
got a huge future ahead of her. What can she do here? Her coach will be | :49:08. | :49:12. | |
probably the most nervous man in the stadium. Listen to the roar now for | :49:13. | :49:22. | |
Scotland's Lynsey Sharp. Her dad won bronze medals in the 100 and 200 in | :49:23. | :49:27. | |
Brisbane in 1982. He will be so proud today. Melissa Bishop could | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
upset the home country party here. May well get amongst the medals. | :49:33. | :49:41. | |
Nanyondo has run so many personal bets this year. She's one of the | :49:42. | :49:48. | |
best in the world. Sum, her only defeat in the Monaco Diamond League | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
just before these championships. The world champion is the favourite, | :49:54. | :50:05. | |
Nikki Hamblin. In the 1500 she was fifth, is in the final here. Her | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
team-mate, Angela Simt fifth, is in the final here. Her | :50:11. | :50:20. | |
inside. Mit on the inside. Aggie Wilson was the world junior champion | :50:21. | :50:24. | |
and finished second to the world junior champion was Jessica Judd. | :50:25. | :50:28. | |
and finished second to the world Jess Judd, can she do what Wilson | :50:29. | :50:32. | |
and finished second to the world champion? Can Jenny Meadows get in | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
there or Lynsey Sharp do it for Scotland? The women's 800 metre | :50:37. | :50:43. | |
final t'work laps of the track. All -- final. Two laps of the track. | :50:44. | :50:54. | |
It's easier said than done. It's about judgment in this. Even the | :50:55. | :51:00. | |
great one cans get it wrong. -- great ones can get it wrong. | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
Nanyondo slots in behind. Meadows there as well. First 200m was fairly | :51:05. | :51:11. | |
swift but not too fast. About 27, for the first 200m. Sum knows what | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
she's doing. She's moved there. She's moved quickly. Meadows is | :51:18. | :51:19. | |
alongside her. That's an aggressive She's moved quickly. Meadows is | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
move from Jenny, Judd in a good place there, in the middle. Holding | :51:25. | :51:30. | |
on the inside, Sharp of Scotland, running shorely. -- strongly. It's | :51:31. | :51:33. | |
about pace judgment. It's about trying to run as even paced as you | :51:34. | :51:40. | |
can. 28. 2 for the first 400 metres. Sum has slowed in the second 200m. | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
Jenny Meadows is in a good place. They have to come the long way | :51:46. | :51:49. | |
round. Jessica Judd jud is running a fine race here, getting | :51:50. | :51:51. | |
round. Jessica Judd jud is running a make a move, getting ready to | :51:52. | :51:54. | |
attack. And Lynsey Sharp has got to be careful here. Sharp in a bad | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
there. Bishop on the outside and Judd. Sharp needs to look for room. | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
Meadows, has she got the legs? Judd. Sharp needs to look for room. | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
Nanyondo looking for room on the inside. Sum at the front, there to | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
be shot at and attacked. Judd did it in the Diamond League. Can she come | :52:11. | :52:14. | |
around and win this. Smit of New Zealand going well. On the outside, | :52:15. | :52:18. | |
Sum, the world champion, in the front, looks around, sees the | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
danger. Here comes Lynsey Sharp. Finds the room on the outside. | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
Nanyondo, holding off in second at the moment. The world champion kicks | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
away. She's going to become the Commonwealth champion. Who will come | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
second? Nanyondo trying to hang on. Lynsey Sharp might just get there. | :52:36. | :52:44. | |
Nanyondo takes the bronze. Well judged Lynsey Sharp, down the back | :52:45. | :52:49. | |
straight, she didn't panic. She waited for the room to come, for the | :52:50. | :52:54. | |
gaps to appear and she did what she always does, what she did in | :52:55. | :52:57. | |
qualification yesterday, when she gets into the home straight, she | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
never gives up. Jess Judd, the 19-year-old will have more days to | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
come. I know she will. This was a brave, brave run from Lynsey Sharp. | :53:10. | :53:17. | |
The world champion is a true worthy Gold Medallist in the -- and the | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
Commonwealth champion, there she is. It was really a question, show, | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
could anybody else get close, well, maybe not. Then it was shall could | :53:26. | :53:33. | |
you -- then it was - could you get a medal? Lynsey Sharp charged. An | :53:34. | :53:40. | |
impressive performance by the world champion to become the Commonwealth | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
champion, but a real emotional evening here in Glasgow for Lynsey | :53:45. | :53:50. | |
Sharp, whose father Cameron Sharp is here watching her. Her mother Carol | :53:51. | :53:56. | |
is here too. And she's found it tough in the semifinal, but today, I | :53:57. | :54:02. | |
think she judged it equally. She's run a very, very even race. The | :54:03. | :54:09. | |
first 200m was quick and from then on, they were slowing down. I think | :54:10. | :54:12. | |
Nanyondo ran a great race. She on, they were slowing down. I think | :54:13. | :54:20. | |
that she was going to get a medal. Sum was the one to beat. There's | :54:21. | :54:28. | |
Lynsey Sharp. The crowd in Hampden Park now becoming a famous athletics | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
stadium and Jenny Meadows, the elder stateswoman leading Jessica Judd, | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
who to be honest, at the age of 19, you've got to say she ran a fine | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
race. She did everything she could. She gave it everything. She's got | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
nothing to worry about. She's got a great future ahead of her. Jenny | :54:46. | :54:50. | |
Meadows, well, we may not see her at a major championship after this | :54:51. | :54:54. | |
year, but Lynsey Sharp is really enjoying this. These people have | :54:55. | :54:59. | |
come here, there's a million flags out here, Scottish flags, and she's | :55:00. | :55:04. | |
enjoying every moment of it. She's had a tough time recently, but this | :55:05. | :55:10. | |
has been terrific. Really, really fantastic moments in her young | :55:11. | :55:14. | |
athletic career. She's already the European champion. Commonwealth | :55:15. | :55:23. | |
Silver Medallist. Great shots there. Her amongst her friends and there's | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
her mother, Carol. It's been a hard time for them. You know, she's had | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
all sorts of problems this year. Really bad. She's been hospitalised. | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
A wound which never really healed properly. It's been such a difficult | :55:39. | :55:45. | |
year. She is somebody who has not always wanted to tell her story, but | :55:46. | :55:50. | |
it's well known in athletics circles and she's got better and better | :55:51. | :55:52. | |
through the season. She was struggling at the beginning of the | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
season even to make the Scottish qualifier time. She raced and raced | :55:57. | :55:59. | |
and raced and got herself into great shape. Even yesterday, you know, she | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
looked as though she was run out of it. She was in tears after first | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
round, after the first semifinal, because she thought she hadn't run | :56:09. | :56:11. | |
well enough to get into the final. What a performance tonight. It was | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
about timing tonight for Lynsey Sharp. The world champion leads. | :56:17. | :56:23. | |
Jenny Meadows went a big quickly on the first lap. Nanyondo of Uganda | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
running well there. Jessica Judd is in a good place. Lynsey Sharp on the | :56:29. | :56:35. | |
inside is really trapped. It's about controlling it, about keeping that | :56:36. | :56:38. | |
pace going, keeping the even splits because that's the way to run the | :56:39. | :56:45. | |
800m. At 400m, she was sixth. Coming up to 600 m, she's moving into | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
fifth. She's moving through gradually. She's not accelerating | :56:51. | :56:55. | |
yet, not panicking at all. There, at this point, there's a medal | :56:56. | :57:00. | |
available. The two Africans are amongst the finest. Now where is | :57:01. | :57:04. | |
Lynsey Sharp going to move. Here she is. Into the finishing straight and | :57:05. | :57:10. | |
then Jessica Judd comes under pressure. Jenny Meadows comes under | :57:11. | :57:14. | |
pressure. Now the battle is for a medal. Lynsey Sharp moving into a | :57:15. | :57:20. | |
medal position but she doesn't just want a medal, she wants the best she | :57:21. | :57:24. | |
can get. The world champion is away, the race is over for the Gold Medal. | :57:25. | :57:31. | |
But this second place is a battle and a real fantastic production on | :57:32. | :57:37. | |
the last 20 m there. Lynsey Sharp coming through, like a sprinter, | :57:38. | :57:42. | |
look at her. On the outside, she knows she's just got to keep going, | :57:43. | :57:47. | |
keep accelerating and Jessica Judd fading now at this point. Lynsey | :57:48. | :57:51. | |
Sharp could have settled there for the bronze. She didn't want the | :57:52. | :57:54. | |
bronze. She wanted as good as she could get. There's the Gold | :57:55. | :58:00. | |
Medallist Eunice Sum. The best in the world. Into the straight here | :58:01. | :58:05. | |
comes Lynsey Sharp. Jessica Judd fading away. What a race between | :58:06. | :58:07. | |
these two. Look at fading away. What a race between | :58:08. | :58:09. | |
these two. Look Lynsey Sharp, she looks like a sprinter. She's running | :58:10. | :58:12. | |
like a sprinter and the stadium are on their feet at this point. She's | :58:13. | :58:18. | |
given them a great race. She's given them a great evening. She's given | :58:19. | :58:21. | |
Scotland a Silver Medal. Well done, Lynsey Sharp. She can hardly believe | :58:22. | :58:30. | |
it. I'm not sure what she has written on her hand. I don't know if | :58:31. | :58:35. | |
it was instructions. It begins with "get". What she got as a Silver | :58:36. | :58:41. | |
Medal. I'm told it says, "Get out strong. Commit." What she certainly | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
did do was commit. What a performance from Lynsey Sharp. | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
did do was commit. What a Eunice Sum is the Commonwealth | :58:51. | :58:52. | |
champion. When a gutsy run from Sharp. | :58:53. | :59:04. | |
Nanyondo is a developing young athlete, she | :59:05. | :59:07. | |
Nanyondo is a developing young same goes for Jess Judd. Jenny | :59:08. | :59:13. | |
Meadows in sixth place. GABBY LOGAN: We expected and Lindsay | :59:14. | :59:20. | |
delivered. It was a fantastic race. Get out strong, commit. They're the | :59:21. | :59:23. | |
instructions and she followed them to the letter. She did get out | :59:24. | :59:29. | |
strongly and she did commit. The most important thing she did out | :59:30. | :59:32. | |
there was not panic and just bide her time. She hasn't got room for | :59:33. | :59:39. | |
all that on her hand. If this race went out fast, which it did, people | :59:40. | :59:42. | |
are going to start tying up and people are going to die in the | :59:43. | :59:48. | |
closing stages. Watch out for people like Nikki Hamblin and Sharp who | :59:49. | :59:51. | |
like to make a strong run in the final straight. That's exactly what | :59:52. | :59:55. | |
she did. Down the back straight, she's a little bit boxed. She's in a | :59:56. | :59:59. | |
little trouble there. Jess Judd is on the outside. She can't quite | :00:00. | :00:03. | |
move. Because Jess hasn't started her kick, she's boxed at that point. | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
She doesn't panic. She waits. She knows or is thinking that at this | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
point, Jenny might start drifting back towards her. Sum is kicking | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
hard off the front. Now Jessica Judd is trying to kick there. That's all | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
she's got. She can't go any harder. Lynsey Sharp launches. She hasn't | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
got that much left but she's fighting and drawing a lot of energy | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
from this crowd here tonight. Inspiration too for what | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
from this crowd here tonight. Child acomplished last night. At | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
this point, she's kicking and kicking. Now | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
this point, she's kicking and can get past Nanyondo. I don't think | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
she real aislesed until she saw it come up on the score board that | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
she's got celebrate. -- got second. I think she's just celebrating. A | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
photo finish. Her mum was an 800m runner for Scotland in the | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Commonwealth Games. Her dad a Gold Medallist and four bronze as well. | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
She is from running stock. Exactly, and also what she has gone | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
through this year, having that open wound all season, because she needs | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
through this year, having that open another operation to tidy it up. She | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
has coped with all of that. She has come out here, and she said that | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
through that operation, it was the Commonwealth Games being in Glasgow, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
that was what kept her going. Commonwealth Games being in Glasgow, | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
Putting that into context, the pain of having that, it is a painful | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
process that she has gone through, of having that, it is a painful | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
not just the normal pain of training, which you guys do, but she | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
knows she needs that operation, training, which you guys do, but she | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
Glasgow inspired her. All of the agony that she has been through, she | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
was not going to give up without the most determined fight. No, you could | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
probably say the same for all of the girls in that race. But this was | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
something she had been aiming for, and then to feel the energy from | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
this crowd, as people realised that she was gaining on that silver | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
medal, that will have really helped her as well. Hopefully there will be | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
a rendition of Michael Johnson's favourite proclaimers song, 500 | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
Miles, at some point this evening. I expect her lap of honour to take a | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
while longer yet. Phil Jones managed to catch up with Isobel Pooley | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
earlier, following her silver in the high jump. Congratulations. I cannot | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
believe it, it feels so surreal. I had to check with the official. My | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
coach said today, focus and execute. He is a fantastic coach, I just read | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
as he said. It was a leap of faith, I just went for it. I am really | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
pleased to be so close to my next height. Hopefully that will come in | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
the next few weeks. We know your coach because of what he has done | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
for Robbie, he is a great motivator. I have never, ever been in the mix | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
for a medal before. So, this has been a completely new experience for | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
me just by dreams of gold, I dared to dream, and I am not ashamed of | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
that. A personal-best is a personal best. A silver medal in my first | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
ever Commonwealths, I have got somewhere to go next time. Can you | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
describe the lap of honour? It is surreal. Also I am surprised I have | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
made it all the way round! You know when you interview people, and they | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
cannot get their breath back, that is me right now! The crowd is | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
fantastic, I want to thank every single person who came out. Also the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
volunteers, and in the village, it has been such a fantastic | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
experience. And I have given myself something to celebrate now. I will | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
go back to the village with pride tonight. | :04:18. | :04:31. | |
This is the countdown clock until the appearance of Usain Bolt on the | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
track in the relay heats. A lot of these people buying their tickets | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
might have thought they would be seeing Mo Farah in the 10k. Well, | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
they have seen Lynsey Sharp, the homegirl, bringing home the silver | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
in the 800m. Let's wrap up the women's discus, with Steve Backley. | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
STEVE BACKLEY: And it went to form, with Dani Samuels Australia | :05:05. | :05:15. | |
dominated the competition. This was her third attempt. 64.88 was | :05:16. | :05:29. | |
enough. All her valid throws were beyond 61 metres. So, the world | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
champion from 2009 is now the Commonwealth champion of 2014. | :05:39. | :05:59. | |
Seema Punia, this was the fifth round, she was chasing down a silver | :06:00. | :06:22. | |
medal. And she was successful. One of two Indian athletes competing in | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
this final. And it was her namesake who took the Championship last time | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
around. And this was the response in that fifth round from Jade Lally. It | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
was not quite enough. Just shy of that silver medal line, but was a | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
great response, which shows wonderful competitive spirit. She | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
put together a great series of throws. A season's best in a | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
championship - that is what they say, isn't it? It is all you can do. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
And that is exactly what Jade Lally of England did. | :07:02. | :07:13. | |
She said a big thank you to her friend, who said to her, why don't | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
you try athletics, why not try throwing that thing, she said? And | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
here she is. PHIL JONES: I have got with me a | :07:24. | :07:44. | |
very emotional Lynsey Sharp. Steve Cram talked about it in commentary, | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
nobody really knows, outside the world of athletics, what you have | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
been through to get to this moment. This is my everything. The last year | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
has been obstacle after obstacle. Even write up to this morning, I was | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
in the hospital, in the village, until 5.30 this morning. I had not | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
slept at all. I was throwing up all night. I had a drip in my arm. This | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
was honestly my everything, and there was no way that I was going to | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
go everything I had been through not to get a medal today. What is | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
written on your hand? It says get out strong and commit. You did just | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
that. Let's have a little look. I know how low the low points can be. | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
Yesterday, I almost lost it. So today, I had to come out and get it | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
right. Now, I know we have got a medal ceremony taking place right | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
now. Are you happy to stay with us, we will let you gather yourself a | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
bit more, and we will come back and have a chat after the medals have | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
been presented to Luke Cutts and Steve Lewis? | :09:10. | :09:24. | |
STEVE CRAM: Well, Lynsey Sharp had an incredible journey to that 800m | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
final. STEVE BACKLEY: It is coming thick | :09:28. | :09:42. | |
and fast this evening. Great pole vault competition. | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
ANNOUNCER: Representing England, Steve Lewis! Big roar, great | :09:50. | :10:01. | |
appreciation from a strong support for these two in Laois athletes. | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
Gold and silver. It went to count back, which was needed to sort out | :10:07. | :10:17. | |
the gold and silver. It was a wonderful competition. Shawn Barber | :10:18. | :10:26. | |
taking bronze Canada. ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, the | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
national anthem of England. So, bronze eight years ago, silver, | :10:30. | :11:51. | |
four years ago, and now Steve Lewis has a full set of Commonwealth | :11:52. | :11:52. | |
medals. Wonderful moment for England, and we | :11:53. | :12:08. | |
have just seen a wonderful Wonderful moment for England, and we | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
for Scotland for you. You are going to have that magical experience on | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
the podium. How was the lap of honour? Yes, because I missed doing | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
the lap of honour in Helsinki honour? Yes, because I missed doing | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
that. As soon as I finished, that is what came into my head. And your mum | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
was emotional as well? Yes. My mum has been my rock. I | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
was emotional as well? Yes. My mum to her. She is the first one I | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
telephone when I have got a problem. Everybody thinks that latex | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
is an individual sport, but it is far from that. It is a massive, | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
massive team behind me. My physio has been there through everything. | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
The mental team, my coaches, Mike Johnson, Stephen Maguire, was with | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
me at 5.30 this morning when I was spewing up. My mum, my dad, my | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
sister. Friends, family, who have shared everything with me, all of | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
the lows, and that is who I want to share the highs with. You have kept | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
the sporting pedigree of your family going, but this is probably the most | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
magical moment of all for the family? Yes, people kept saying to | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
me, this is your time. After everything I have been through, I | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
thought, how can I possibly be in this shape? It is a miracle. I could | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
not have been here without every single person. I cannot name | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
everyone! You never make excuses, even yesterday you came through and | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
you gave us an answer, but you were not making | :13:47. | :13:46. | |
you gave us an answer, but you were not excuses - that says a lot about | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
you. Yes, I honestly think athletics is one of the toughest sports, you | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
are out there on your own, you have to take responsibility. It is | :13:59. | :13:59. | |
something that I I go out to take responsibility. It is | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
something that I and I do it in training, so why can't I come out | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
here and executed perfectly every time? That is why I was so annoyed | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
yesterday. An filly I had 24 hours to get it right, and I did. Thank | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
you to everybody at home, you have been amazing. | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
As I was saying a couple of minutes ago, that story will be talked | :14:27. | :14:36. | |
about. She will go off and do her press interviews. The emotion will | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
continue to pour out. What a ceremony that is going to be, a | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
little later on. Now, we move onto the heats, back to business as | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
usual, if you like, of the 4x100m is relay. On the inside, a very strong | :14:51. | :15:06. | |
Bahamas team. Lane 6 is empty, that should have been Sierra Leone. | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
Trinidad Tobago, and a strong Nigeria team on the outside. We have | :15:13. | :15:22. | |
only got to heats in the women's race, there will be three in the | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
men's. Three to go through, plus two fastest losers. A very experienced | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
lead-off for them. Trinidad inside them. Watch out for Australia and | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
Bahamas as well. Nigeria may have the lead here. | :15:42. | :15:53. | |
Watch the changeovers. It's not good for Nigeria. Did she get the baton? | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
We'll be looking for flags on the back straight. Trinidad and Tobago | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
chasing them. Australia going well. . Hauma coming into this. -- Bahamas | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
come intoing this. Australia have it safely round. Bahamas will be coming | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
through. Nigeria, Trinidad and Tobago at the moment. Australia | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
coming into this, safely done. Nigeria lead from Australia. A real | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
battle, India storming in. Trinidad finishing quickly. Nigeria win it. | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
Can Australia hang on, oh, Trinidad and Australia with Bahamas finishing | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
quickly. Well I'm not sure that was good from anybody, to be honest. I | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
think Nigeria had a poor first changeover. Australia didn't finish | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
as well as they would have liked. But all that being said, 44. 13 for | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
nigh jeerament Australia go through. -- Nigeria. Australia go through. | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
That initial lane one would be difficult for Bahamas. They will | :16:58. | :17:07. | |
have to wait and see. I'd like to see the first changeover for | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
Nigeria. It was a little bit too close for comfort. Stuttering there | :17:12. | :17:22. | |
on the second leg. It's victory at the moment. We shall see. Apart from | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
that, everything went fairly cleanly and as expected. Bahamas a bit | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
disappointing. But Nigeria strong at this point and on the final leg as | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
well. Good run from the Australian quartet. I think they were a bit | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
better drilled, very well practised. The Great Britain squad in recent | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
months have been very well drilled at the changeovers. Victory for | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
Nigeria, at the moment, as you can see from the photo finish, in second | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
place, close, close, close. On that wider view, Andrew, it looked as | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
though they just got the baton before. There's a yellow line on the | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
track. On that first changeover looked as though they got it through | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
safely. I didn't see a red flag go up. GABBY LOGAN: So the first heat | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
done. The second coming in a few moments. England and Wales feature | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
in that, as do Jamaica. That means the crowd here will get their first | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
glimpse of quite simply the greatest female sprinter in the world at the | :18:35. | :18:35. | |
moment. Fraser-Price what a competitor. | :18:36. | :18:53. | |
She's rolling away, this is a display of power sprinting. A | :18:54. | :19:07. | |
Fraser-Pryce for the line for the title for double gold. It's gold for | :19:08. | :19:18. | |
Jamaica. She is the best by a long way, a really long way. | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
She holds all the golds at the moment. Like a lot of the sprinters | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
here who have been world champions last year, having an easy year. Or a | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
little more relaxed year. Like Usain Bolt choosing not to run in the | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
individual I vent, Mike -- individual event. It's tough to go | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
out every year and in the four-year cycle of things, this would be the | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
year to take it more easy. When you've won, she and Usain Bolt have | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
won back-to-back Olympic and World Championships. So it makes sense to | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
take a little bit of a break. Then, she's also in that situation as | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
well, where there's a lot more for a person like her or Usain Bolt | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
there's more to lose by coming here and competing than to gain. If you | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
win, well, it's you should have won, you're number one in the word. If | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
you lose - oh, really? You let them beat you. That's certainly on their | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
mind. She started really well. She ran brilliant indoors. Then I think | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
she picked up that quad injury and everyone was like, you know, maybe | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
you should just take it easy. You don't need to be pushing yourself | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
because you continue to race. That's what people couldn't understand. | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Then she kind of went away and regathered herself. She put down a | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
decent time. But it's nice that she wants to come here and represent her | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
country. She's passionate about Jamaica, Jamaican sprinting. She | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
wants to be part of this. Welcome Colin, by the way. Thank you very | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
much. With Shelley-Ann the intensity is not there. It's not into | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
much. With Shelley-Ann the intensity needed. What Michael said is spot | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
on. You need a bit of a mental break. But you still want to keep | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
your hand in, some way sm, how. For sprinters, the' lay is a mash fuss | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
-- the relay is a marvellous opportunity to do that. It's a crowd | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
pleaser as well as keeping them in the mix. And it's not your fault if | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
you don't get the gold. That's true. And the other thing too is, we've | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
talked this week a lot and heard the athletes talking about really | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
enjoying this. Nobody is really enjoying this until after its it's | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
over. It's hard to come out here and you're trying to win medals and be | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
focussed. They can enjoy this because the relay is fun. It's not | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
as much pressure. I'm sure that she's had the opportunity all week | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
to really enjoy and soak in the experience. Just a word on England | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
as well. How buoyed will they be by those fantastic performances, | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
especially in the 200m, two, three and four places. Atmosphere will be | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
riding high amongst those girls. They're very tight. They know they | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
can do this and do it well. They're drilled. They're running quickly. | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
It's got all the hall marks of a great championships for the British | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
women - English women, my mistake. And the Welsh. They're running very | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
women - English women, my mistake. Go on well. Colin. It's a good group | :22:11. | :22:10. | |
of Go on well. Colin. It's a good group | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
them the opportunity to Go on well. Colin. It's a good group | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
top nations. Never in their wildest dreams would they be running against | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
Jamaica as a relay team, here's their England and opportunity. Wales | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
side by side on the their England and opportunity. Wales | :22:26. | :22:40. | |
Tonight, this meeting, this Commonwealth Games is about | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
Tonight, this meeting, this than Usain Bolt. Shelley Ann | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
Fraser-Pryce, one of stars. This is the same Welsh quartet and in the | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
same order that set the Welsh record in June. Get close to that and | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
they'll have a chance if not going through automatically, going through | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
as a faster loser. England led off by Asha Philip. Very strong Canadian | :23:04. | :23:19. | |
quartet as W -- well. Jamaica, well, who can catch them? Stewart leads | :23:20. | :23:33. | |
them off. Campbell-Brown second as well. Kenya make up things in lane | :23:34. | :23:42. | |
one here. Cameroon and Papua New Guinea non-starters in this heat. | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
The second of the two heats. It is the first three who go through | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
automatically. Times to look out for, the Bahamas 44. 5, India 44. 81 | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
in the last of the fastest losers positions at the moment. The Welsh | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
record would see them inside that. They go in lane serve. Singapore | :24:06. | :24:07. | |
there as well, in lane eight. Asha Philip just told to go down | :24:08. | :24:23. | |
into their blocks then the starter asked them to get up. That's a green | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
card, a technical problem with the starter. They will have to settle | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
and do it all again and get ready. Asha Philip at the world indoors she | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
was fourth here, fourth in the 100. Great starter. That's why she's on | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
the first leg. Anika Onuora fourth in the 200. | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
England in lane six. Wales in lane seven. | :24:51. | :25:04. | |
A bit more than raw speed about getting that baton round. | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
Cleanly away and Asha Philip out and flying at the moment. Stewart for | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Jamaica. How is the changeover. Philip to Onuora and England do | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
safely have the baton. Jamaica are flying. They look to be leading. | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
Veronica Campbell-Brown with it. Canada going nicely as well. It's | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
England, Canada and the gentleman make was. -- Jamaicans. They just | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
about get that baton over. Coming round the bend, Jamaica. Jamaica | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
lead. It's with Fraser-Pryce now. Well, England have it and Ashley | :25:47. | :25:55. | |
Nelson. And Canada with Bingham through to take third. Well, we'll | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
tidy all that up, because I was concentrating on the Jamaicans but | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
behind there, the English quartet, I'm not sure. Talk about getting | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
that baton safely round. I think they did. But... I don't know. It's | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
close. The one thing I will say, I was watching Ashley Nelson. She | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
looked really nervous. You've got to have control of the baton when you | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
leave the sector. It has to be in your hand and have control. She | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
switch today to her other hand. That's OK. But did she have it when | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
she crossed the line? The Welsh have run a new national record, no | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
they've equalled - excuse me - their national record. Let's look at this. | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
Right to the final change. Because that's the one that is in | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
contention. She's smiling. She thinks she's OK. The one before was | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
good. So Bloor coming in. That's into the sector, the first yellow | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
marker. She exits with the second yellow marker, you have to have it, | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
stop, stop, stop, it's coming. OK, just jog it on a bit. She has to | :27:04. | :27:15. | |
have it just in her hand. Oohhh. Of course, looking at that we're going | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
to give them the benefit of the doubt. No red flags that I've seen. | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
But that was so, so close. First changeover wasn't great, to be | :27:25. | :27:32. | |
honest. Asha Philip gets out strong. She's going to hand to Anika. Watch | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
this change. She's up and running. Wait, wait, wait. Got it, OK. | :27:37. | :27:45. | |
Safish. -- self-ish. -- safe-ish. This is a good change to Bloor, | :27:46. | :27:52. | |
that's nice. Then here we go. You're clear. You've got your | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
qualification, it's really hard, you can't think, you've got to go off | :27:57. | :27:58. | |
your mark. It's just whether or not she's gone out a little bit hard | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
there, but at least she checked. She realised she's gone out hard, she | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
checked, hopefully, as far as we're concerned, got the baton just in her | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
hand, just before that line and has qualified for the final. It was | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
close. A great run for Wales as well. They matched their national | :28:19. | :28:23. | |
record. Just inside the yellow line for that final, crucial handover for | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
England from Bloor to Nelson. It looks to be OK. We will get | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
confirmation of that. Phil is with the English quartet. | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
They're all watching that screen avidly. A bit nervously, but it | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
looks safe. You got the team off to a great start. I didn't know how it | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
felt. I haven't been on a bend for a while. I ran a bit funny. My aim was | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
to run past the girl next to me. We got the baton round here, so, I | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
think it was a good team. Regardless of a little mishap that the girls | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
had, we got it safe and that was the plan. Roll on to the A personal | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
final. Best for you last night and double duty. I know. Yeah, it's good | :29:05. | :29:11. | |
to be back on the track. I enjoyed it last night. It's nice to have fun | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
with the relay girls and like Asha was saying, just doing my job on the | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
back straight and tried to hammer down, trying to catch them | :29:20. | :29:22. | |
Jamaicans. You did, you were in the lead at that point, I think. Louise, | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
you come into the team, what's it like when you have to fit into an | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
already established side? They're really good. You come into practice | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
and everybody works together. The morale is great. So, it's a new leg | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
for me. I got a bit comfortable on leg four, having to run through the | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
line. It's a new leg, but I felt comfortable. Bit of a - only just | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
made the pass to Asha I think. That could have been a bit better.. Got | :29:52. | :29:54. | |
the baton round safely and through to the Another look final. At that, | :29:55. | :29:57. | |
come around here and have a look at the screen and can you see just what | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
happened. We'll' slow it down. Tell me your thoughts. | :30:03. | :30:14. | |
The person running in always has control of the baton, but I am a bit | :30:15. | :30:19. | |
more experienced, so I took it upon myself to kind of put my hand back. | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
When you run with your hand back, it automatically slows you down. I just | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
wanted to make sure that we got round. I kept my hand as still as I | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
could and managed to get it in. Tonight was all about ridding the | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
baton round, and we did that. We wish you well for tomorrow. | :30:39. | :30:50. | |
So, it looks like it is OK, we are not going to hear any news to the | :30:51. | :30:58. | |
contrary, Colin? No, I think they were just fraction of -- | :30:59. | :31:07. | |
fractionally, in the box. It is about lunging, it is the 4x100m is, | :31:08. | :31:14. | |
get it in the hand! I think she was just waiting to be a little bit too | :31:15. | :31:21. | |
close. She is new to the quartet. Well, she has run with them before, | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
so... We have got some news regarding Wales. | :31:27. | :31:32. | |
ANDREW COTTER: It is not good for Wales, they have been disqualified. | :31:33. | :31:44. | |
That time, matching the Welsh national record, would have seen | :31:45. | :31:52. | |
them through to the final. I think this is the changeover which is to | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
blame, for Wales. It is the second changeover. And it is Hannah Turner, | :31:58. | :32:12. | |
handing to Mike more. And the last one was fine. This one was fine, | :32:13. | :32:26. | |
from Mica Moore, to Rachel Johncock. So, a shame for Wales. No matching | :32:27. | :32:34. | |
of the national record, no place in the final. But England are safely | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
through. Is that a bit mean? Andrew Cotter | :32:40. | :32:58. | |
said that with a bit too much, Wales disc fight! -- disqualified. You can | :32:59. | :33:12. | |
imagine, they have worked hard as a team. At the Welsh Championships, I | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
was very impressed with the way they were spending. It was a young team, | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
and I thought it was a good opportunity for them. You can | :33:21. | :33:26. | |
imagine them thinking to themselves, they want to get involved in the | :33:27. | :33:29. | |
national, British team as well, so they need to give themselves a good | :33:30. | :33:34. | |
run out. But it was that second changeover. It is a high pressured | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
environment for them to be in because there are lots of things | :33:38. | :33:42. | |
happening. When you have not got the same kind of experience as some of | :33:43. | :33:43. | |
the English same kind of experience as some of | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
Jamaicans, who run continuously for their national teams, | :33:50. | :33:49. | |
Jamaicans, who run continuously for understand how these things happen. | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
I feel for them, not just as a Welshman, but the fact that they | :33:56. | :33:58. | |
set, or equalled, the national record. After the long leg of the | :33:59. | :34:04. | |
second leg, which is the longest leg, they were over the | :34:05. | :34:13. | |
second leg, which is the longest mark, the middle of the box, the | :34:14. | :34:17. | |
white mark. And the baton just does not get | :34:18. | :34:24. | |
white mark. And the baton just does half a metre out. It might be the | :34:25. | :34:26. | |
Friendly Games, but not that friendly, to allow an infringement | :34:27. | :34:31. | |
to the rules like that. England, though, just got away with it, | :34:32. | :34:40. | |
Michael. They were just inside. I mean, just inside. There is still | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
the opportunity for another team to protest. But I wondered, Colin, when | :34:45. | :34:52. | |
we were talking about this, I wonder why Ashleigh Nelson put her hand | :34:53. | :34:57. | |
back. Normally it is from a command. So, was she commanded to put her | :34:58. | :35:03. | |
hand back? If so, why would Louise Bloor, and would Louise Bloor | :35:04. | :35:05. | |
command her to put her hand back but not be close enough to know I wonder | :35:06. | :35:10. | |
if Ashley took off too soon and then just through her hand back. We saw | :35:11. | :35:15. | |
on the Welsh changeover, there was a clear command, her mouth was open. I | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
did not see that in the English changeover. I could not see it. But | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
she took off. I think so. And you think, did they have what we call a | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
safe change, with the outgoing runner, maybe should have got a bit | :35:32. | :35:37. | |
closer? I do not know, but they were very lucky. It is the turn of the | :35:38. | :35:46. | |
men next. Jamaica's Usain Bolt is in the second heat, but before that, we | :35:47. | :35:49. | |
have got the first heat. have got the | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
ANDREW COTTER: It is a strong quartet for Trinidad Tobago. | :35:55. | :36:02. | |
Richard Thompson, disappointing in the individual. He has run so well | :36:03. | :36:10. | |
this season. He is on the anchor leg. This is the Bahamas. Adrian | :36:11. | :36:19. | |
Griffiths taking them out. The Cayman Islands in Lane 3. | :36:20. | :36:30. | |
Trinidad Tobago we talked about, and Canada, outside them, possibly | :36:31. | :36:56. | |
the two favourites. It is almost the Canadian quartet which won the | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
bronze medal in the World Championships in Moscow, after Great | :37:00. | :37:08. | |
Britain were disco fight. -- were disqualified. | :37:09. | :37:21. | |
Away they go, cleanly. Trinidad Tobago moving smoothly. Oh, that was | :37:22. | :37:34. | |
a bit untidy from Trinidad Tobago! The Bahamas are up on them now. | :37:35. | :37:42. | |
Pretty much in the line, coming into the third leg. All in a line, these | :37:43. | :37:53. | |
three coming away. Only two will go through automatically. Richard | :37:54. | :37:56. | |
Thompson brings Trinidad Tobago home. Those three, a long way clear | :37:57. | :38:08. | |
of the rest. Some pretty good running, some pretty good changeover | :38:09. | :38:16. | |
is as well, and a pretty good time. Richard Thompson, who was not | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
impressive in the individual 100m, perhaps looking to make amends. | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
STEVE CRAM: It is going to be good, we have got two more heats to come. | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
The Canadians, for me, very strong. Trinidad look as though they had | :38:31. | :38:37. | |
some problems with the Canadians. At this point, down the back straight, | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
Marc Byrnes, who has done this so many times for Trinidad Tobago, | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
has a good leg, getting them back in the race. | :38:46. | :38:59. | |
For the Bahamas, Smith, nothing he can do. And so Canada and Trinidad | :39:00. | :39:07. | |
Tobago. Richard Thompson, after the disappointment in the individual | :39:08. | :39:10. | |
100m, bringing his country safely home. Yes, Richard Arnesen, only | :39:11. | :39:20. | |
Jason Gatlin has gone faster this year. -- Richard Thomson. | :39:21. | :39:30. | |
GABBY LOGAN: Coming up in the next hit, Jamaica. The first chance for | :39:31. | :39:44. | |
Glasgow 2014, love games to see that man, built for speed. | :39:45. | :39:54. | |
MICHAEL JOHNSON: How do you become the fastest man in the world? It | :39:55. | :40:06. | |
does depend on your raw materials. But all the fine tuning in the world | :40:07. | :40:36. | |
will not help if you do not have inner steel. If you do not have | :40:37. | :40:43. | |
willpower, and the drive to succeed. You still have to take care of | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
business, build on your strength and focus. If you do that, when you | :40:48. | :41:01. | |
arrive at the blocks, you might just make the most of being built to | :41:02. | :41:09. | |
sprint. Well, we have done all right without him so for, but it is | :41:10. | :41:14. | |
special to see him here tonight. He will think the atmosphere is all for | :41:15. | :41:18. | |
him, he will not realise it has been like this every night! They are | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
singing The Bonny Banks Of Loch Lomond. But I wonder what he is | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
making of all of this. MICHAEL JOHNSON: I am sure he has | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
been having a good time this week. The great thing about the | :41:36. | :41:37. | |
Commonwealth Games to this point is that it has been great competition. | :41:38. | :41:42. | |
This is a show. You know what is going to happen. Now, he is part of | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
the relay, anything could happen. As long as they do not go out of the | :41:47. | :41:53. | |
lane, they get it to him, they win. We know that. But this is a show for | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
this crowd. They will get a chance to say they saw Usain Bolt. That is | :41:59. | :42:06. | |
special for them. Indeed it is. Even when he is lining up, he cannot help | :42:07. | :42:12. | |
it, he is a natural showman. He has always been the same, since he was a | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
teenager. He crossed the line, and he was showboating to the fans. He | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
loves performance. Whatever his stage, this man can perform. It is a | :42:22. | :42:31. | |
wonderful thing. Denise Lewis wouldn't you just love to be that | :42:32. | :42:39. | |
young girl carrying his kit box? She knows she is getting the attention. | :42:40. | :42:41. | |
He is probably engaging with her. knows she is getting the attention. | :42:42. | :42:48. | |
But she does not like Usain Bolt! She is the one person that does not | :42:49. | :42:54. | |
like Usain Bolt! She is like the guards outside Buckingham Palace, | :42:55. | :42:57. | |
going, Styche all, the world is not watching me! Let's see if he can | :42:58. | :43:04. | |
deliver the business with Jamaica. STEVE CRAM: Lovely moment, and what | :43:05. | :43:07. | |
a moment for the Commonwealth Games, STEVE CRAM: Lovely moment, and what | :43:08. | :43:09. | |
for the Hampden Park crowd. The STEVE CRAM: Lovely moment, and what | :43:10. | :43:18. | |
great man is here. So, to business, then, Usain Bolt. They have got to | :43:19. | :43:22. | |
bring the baton home. They have not gone for their strongest team. The | :43:23. | :43:25. | |
Aussies will be looking to go well. Singapore have put some good | :43:26. | :43:47. | |
performances in recently. Nigeria will be good down the back | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
straight. Montserrat, I wonder how nervous they are. So, this is the | :43:53. | :44:01. | |
Jamaican team. None of the medallists from the 200m last night. | :44:02. | :44:07. | |
The gold medallist from the 100m is not here, either. A great welcome | :44:08. | :44:19. | |
for the greatest athlete on the planet. Oh, I hope it goes well for | :44:20. | :44:30. | |
him. So, Jamaica on the inside, in Lane 2. Only the top two to the | :44:31. | :44:37. | |
final. The Jamaican, slow out of the box. | :44:38. | :45:04. | |
Please get the baton to Usain Bolt! Australia going down the back | :45:05. | :45:06. | |
straight, Nigeria starting to come into it. And Jamaica might need | :45:07. | :45:13. | |
Usain Bolt here. Australia start to fade. Nigeria leading. And here | :45:14. | :45:19. | |
goes. Usain Bolt has got it in his hand. The crowd cheering him on! | :45:20. | :45:32. | |
Jamaica are through to the final. Thank goodness for that! I do not | :45:33. | :45:39. | |
Jamaica are through to the final. know who was more nervous, the | :45:40. | :45:41. | |
Jamaican team manager, the, love games organisers... But Jamaica are | :45:42. | :45:48. | |
in the final, and we will be seeing Usain Bolt | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
in the final, and we will be seeing but it did not have to be. They have | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
got so much strength to bring in. It will be interesting to see who they | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
bring into this tomorrow. Safely done, Nigeria did pretty well as | :46:03. | :46:07. | |
well, getting second spot. No sign at the moment of any discord of | :46:08. | :46:17. | |
occasions, Andrew. Montserrat, Thousands who have tickets for | :46:18. | :46:22. | |
tomorrow will be delighted. The Nigerians looked good as well. Usain | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
Bolt, the baton changes looked pretty clean. There are so many | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
options they have in the Jamaican team. They're just milling around | :46:32. | :46:36. | |
there. Let's see if they'll mosey around and perhaps have a chat. | :46:37. | :46:42. | |
Here's Usain, safely through to the final. It must have been a neck | :46:43. | :46:49. | |
wracking thing to be on The Last Leg hoping the baton got round to you. | :46:50. | :46:54. | |
No, we told each other, just get it round, don't stress too much about | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
this one, it's just a heat. It's been a long wait to get you out | :46:59. | :47:01. | |
here, every time you ran up and down the home straight, as you were | :47:02. | :47:06. | |
warming up, the cheers were incredible Yeah, it was wonderful. | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
The crowd is great. I've heard it throughout the championships, | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
watching it on TV. It's been wonderful. It's been fair to say | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
you've not had an exactly straight run into this race with what's been | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
happening in the press, that Times report saying you were disparaging | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
about Glasgow. Do you want to give us your perspective. I can't believe | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
they actually said that. I would never use that word if I was going | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
to say that. But for me, I love, you know I love competing. I'm here | :47:36. | :47:38. | |
because of the fans and because I want to be at the Commonwealth. I'm | :47:39. | :47:41. | |
enjoying it. It's been good. People have been so nice to me. I'd never | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
say something like that. How difficult has it been for you to go | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
out, I know you were at the netball the other day, the media trying to | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
get quotes from you. It's just been, it was rough. Everybody just wanted | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
to say something. I didn't want to say anything else. Because last time | :47:57. | :47:59. | |
I had a simple conversation it turned out to be worse for me. I | :48:00. | :48:02. | |
decided that you know, what I'm just going to wait until I get the chance | :48:03. | :48:06. | |
to speak. Tell us now and the British people watching at home, | :48:07. | :48:09. | |
especially the Scottish people, the Glaswegians, what do you think of | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
Glasgow? It's great. For me, everything's been good so far, just | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
the weather. It's got really cold. But everything's been great. I know | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
when I come out here, the fans will be wonderful. I'm happy to be here. | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
It's been great. I'm looking forward tone joying what's going on. I want | :48:25. | :48:29. | |
to say something, I heard somebody say they enjoyed the Games without | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
Blake and me. Yeah, you, I'm talking to you, yes. She knows who I'm | :48:36. | :48:42. | |
talking to, she said it yesterday in the press box. They're in the | :48:43. | :48:47. | |
stadium right. The BBC. Yeah. Michael Johnson, I'm not going to | :48:48. | :48:50. | |
call any name. You know who I'm talking about. I'm a fun person. | :48:51. | :49:00. | |
Look at me. He's talking to you. Uh-oh. I think I've been rumbled. | :49:01. | :49:06. | |
That's Now what hillarious. I said... | :49:07. | :49:09. | |
LAUGHTER If he's allowed anxious wait right | :49:10. | :49:15. | |
to replay -- I'm allowed a right to reply, I said it's OK. But now he's | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
better. Now we know he's watching. He watches. That's good. That's | :49:21. | :49:27. | |
good. Oh, dear. Well, he knows we're fair. Absolutely, he is fair too. | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
Because he came out there and he had a right to reply. I'm glad he took | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
that moment to say what he thinks because he said to Phil, you know | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
me, I wouldn't say things like that. That's the first thingummiself and | :49:40. | :49:46. | |
-- thingummiself and lieu -- thing Myself and Denise said. That's not | :49:47. | :49:52. | |
his language certainly not about an audience he's going to compete in. | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
He's in the a fool. He Joan Is the -- he enjoys the environment. He | :49:57. | :50:02. | |
would never make that statement. It was nervy because you want to get | :50:03. | :50:05. | |
him through that race to get him into the final tomorrow and have a | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
bit more of that. At the risk of tomorrow, Usain Bolt saying | :50:11. | :50:15. | |
something about me saying something but, you know what, I can handle it. | :50:16. | :50:20. | |
I was like, all right, you know, I was saying to Paula earlier, when | :50:21. | :50:23. | |
you watch a sprint, do you think, oh, that's it, is that all? With | :50:24. | :50:28. | |
this, I was like, all right, yeah, here's all the build up and this is | :50:29. | :50:32. | |
great. All right waiting for Usain. He's coming and hoping they're going | :50:33. | :50:39. | |
to get the baton around. They got it around. There goes Usain Bolt. | :50:40. | :50:42. | |
O'-Kay this is great. He's running really well. A little bit relaxed | :50:43. | :50:45. | |
and you know, gets it through and gets them across the finish line. | :50:46. | :50:48. | |
They're in the final and then I'm like, that's it? That's it? That's | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
all I get. I've been waiting for this. It's the magic of the 4x1. | :50:53. | :51:00. | |
When we discuss it, we have all said that we think Trinidad has | :51:01. | :51:02. | |
underperformed at these championships as a sprinting nation. | :51:03. | :51:06. | |
They put out a reasonable time in that first heat. Jamaica will have | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
to step up, I know that, if they're really going to take a big advantage | :51:11. | :51:15. | |
of the situation. We see here they did get very, very crisp, nice safe | :51:16. | :51:22. | |
handoffs. As Usain said, they talked about let's just get it around, | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
these are very safe handoffs, in the middle of the zone. They will change | :51:27. | :51:32. | |
some personnel tomorrow also. Trinidad has under-performed. They | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
put down a very good timed in that first semifinal. I'm sure Richard | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
Thompson who anchored it, who brought them from behind actually, | :51:41. | :51:43. | |
so, I'm not sure that they're really ready to compete against Jamaica, | :51:44. | :51:48. | |
certainly with Bolt there. He's hardly raced this season. He's not | :51:49. | :51:53. | |
been on the Diamond League circuit. He doesn't look bad. Don't start | :51:54. | :51:57. | |
saying that I said he did! But it's amazing how he can do that with so | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
little racing. Look at his form. He looks nice and bouncy, which is what | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
you want to see in an athlete. You don't want to see people with flat | :52:06. | :52:11. | |
feet. He looks like he could run quick. What I'd love to see, I guess | :52:12. | :52:14. | |
we'd all love to see him five metres down on the anchor leg and see him | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
have to really run. See him under pressure. I'm not sure we're going | :52:20. | :52:23. | |
to get that. Another nervy 40 seconds coming up because England | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
are in the last of these heats and obviously, we want to see them | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
safely get the baton round. James Ellington is getting them off to the | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
start. I wonder what you're pointing to there, the waist on his shorts is | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
a bit high. Looks like my dad! LAUGHTER | :52:44. | :52:53. | |
I hope that doesn't have any effect on his aerodynamism. Obviously he's | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
not watching, so he can't pull you up on that tomorrow. STEVE CRAM: OK, | :52:57. | :53:03. | |
well, the England team, I think the fact that James egg selling on the | :53:04. | :53:08. | |
lead -- Ellington is on the lead-off leg, I think we expected Kilty to | :53:09. | :53:12. | |
lead them off. That's a change there. Ellington has normally run | :53:13. | :53:14. | |
around the top bend as well. That there. Ellington has normally run | :53:15. | :53:21. | |
team was Ellington, Kilty and Robertson. It's a big moment for him | :53:22. | :53:23. | |
on The Last Leg. Guyana. Saint Kitts on The Last Leg. Guyana. Saint Kitts | :53:24. | :53:36. | |
Nevis produces a good team even without Kim Collins who still hasn't | :53:37. | :53:39. | |
made up with his federation since the Olympics. So, they've got Jason | :53:40. | :53:54. | |
Rogers, Lawrence going for them. South Africa Titi, you know the | :53:55. | :53:57. | |
England team won't have it all their own way. They will have to run very | :53:58. | :54:02. | |
well to get in the top two. Fastest loser spots are available. At the | :54:03. | :54:05. | |
moment they have to run inside 40 seconds. That should be OK, if they | :54:06. | :54:07. | |
were third, of course. Ellington leading England off. | :54:08. | :54:18. | |
Antigua inside them. South Africa in the green. Saint Kitts Nevis on | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
the inside in the red. A good first leg from Ellington. Handing the | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
baton to Aiknes-Aryeetey. Good so far. South Africa really coming into | :54:28. | :54:30. | |
this. I think Saint Kitts far. South Africa really coming into | :54:31. | :54:36. | |
have gone. England with the baton, Kilty around the top bend. It's | :54:37. | :54:38. | |
going to be Robertson's here as Kilty around the top bend. It's | :54:39. | :54:41. | |
as the baton goes round safely, we'll be fine. | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
He's got it. Robertson with South Africa coming | :54:48. | :54:47. | |
He's got it. Robertson with South will take the third spot. Chased | :54:48. | :54:54. | |
down all the way. That doesn't matter, though. 38. 78. That | :54:55. | :55:01. | |
pretty good performance for my book. Good baton changes. | :55:02. | :55:07. | |
pretty good performance for my book. performance. Ellington I thought got | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
them off to a great start, good changeover to Aiknes-Aryeetey. Good | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
bend on the top bend from Kilty. And Saint Kitts Nevis, they | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
disappeared, but Andrew, England pretty good there. Like you said it | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
was strange to see Ellington on the lead-off leg rather than Kilty. | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
Ellington ran nicely, good changeover to Aiknes-Aryeetey down | :55:33. | :55:33. | |
the back straight. South Africa going nicely here as well. It's a | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
strong South African quartet. Looking at the changeovers and Kilty | :55:38. | :55:43. | |
gets it safely. The changeovers for England and Great Britain in the | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
past have become better and better. That's why they're becoming more | :55:48. | :55:50. | |
serious contenders in the relay. Andrew Robertson, | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
serious contenders in the relay. sprinter on times on the final leg. | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
You can see South Africa closing down on him. By then, the job is | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
done. The squad might be tweaked a little bit. But the time is good for | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
England. It was quicker than Jamaica ran in their last heat. The final | :56:08. | :56:12. | |
changeover, all were pretty good, no mistakes, no stumbles. That's all it | :56:13. | :56:17. | |
took to get it to the hands of Robertson with a big enough lead and | :56:18. | :56:23. | |
he brought it home. Well done England. It's going to be tough, of | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
course, with the likes of Jamaica, South Africa ran well. They are | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
through safely. They will contest the final. Grabban -- GABBY LOGAN: | :56:33. | :56:43. | |
Safely round. Nice job. Clean and safe hand-offs by the England team. | :56:44. | :56:47. | |
You saw Richard Kilty there. Those things happen where you might run up | :56:48. | :56:51. | |
on your team-mate and you have to be calm, be patient and make the right | :56:52. | :56:55. | |
decision at that time, there's a lot going on around you. That was a good | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
veteran decision by They will them. Be in the mix. Absolutely. They have | :57:00. | :57:02. | |
the skills to make that happen. We've seen them train hard. Yeah, | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
they have. They work hard. They drill hard. Apart from the female | :57:07. | :57:10. | |
error, I think all the re-lays have been good, and the changeovers. Good | :57:11. | :57:13. | |
indeed. We've had a fabulous night here at Hampden. Lynsey Sharp taking | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
that silver, of course. Steve Lewis in the pole vault as well. There's | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
more to come, join us, very shortly, here back at Hampden. | :57:23. | :57:29. | |

having trained together for just seven days, they claimed a Silver | :57:57. | :58:02. | |

the English pair by 0. 18 of a point. Remarkable. Tom starts the | :58:10. | :58:18. | |
