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

: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.

GARY LINEKER: Usain Bolt, great to see him in action. He wasn't the

:57:30.:57:35.

slightest bit Shabby. The women's 100m hurdles still to come, a real

:57:57.:58:02.

Medal. It could easily have been gold too. The Australians edged out

the English pair by 0. 18 of a point. Remarkable. Tom starts the
