Welcome to BBC3's coverage of the games. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
There are 25 gold medals up for grabs and 7 of | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
That's the stats but let?s see the smiles because yesterday was another | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
England have a bronze medal with Jessica Taylor. There is your | :00:58. | :01:13. | |
Commonwealth champion by a country mile. What that must mean, well | :01:14. | :01:27. | |
done, Greg. He has just landed on a gold medal. They are Commonwealth | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
champions. That is exactly what England ordered. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Great news for England who now top the table. | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
They have one less medal than Australia but they have three more | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Canada are still third from Scotland and Wales just sit outside | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Northern Ireland are guaranteed nine medals in the boxing. | :01:52. | :02:06. | |
And already there are medals in the offing at Kelvingrove Park. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
Over on BBC1 in they are gearing up for the bronze medal match | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
We'll be at Glasgow Green as England's men look to secure | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
progression to the semi-final stage of the hockey | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
It is day two of diving at the Royal Commonwealth Pool | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
in Edinburgh, we'll be seeing the preliminary round | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
And we'll be keeping an eye on the men's individual time trial. | :02:34. | :02:45. | |
David Millar from Scotland is a favourite for gold. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
But we start with hockey and a big game for England's men. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
Despite defeat to New Zealand on Tuesday, it still looks good for | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
England reaching the semifinals as long as they don't lose to Canada. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Your commentators are Matt Chilton and Sean Kerly. | :03:01. | :03:27. | |
England have conceded only for Mac goals in the three previous round | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
robin preliminary matches. Canada have been more leaky. -- four goals. | :03:37. | :03:50. | |
England will be attacking the gold to our right waving the white shots. | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
They have changed the bottom half to grey shorts and socks. The umpires | :03:58. | :04:12. | |
are ready to go. Canada are just a couple of seconds off the pace. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
are ready to go. Canada are just a are underway. England are playing | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
Canada, the possession. This is Ashley Jackson | :04:21. | :04:54. | |
for England, he is the penalty corner specialist. | :04:55. | :05:21. | |
Canada are quickly forward when defending. | :05:22. | :06:05. | |
Penalty corner as it came off a red foot. England's first opportunity to | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
get off the mark. Canada are putting pressure on England high up the | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
pitch but that means there are spaces behind. That was a great ball | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
through to Martin. He took his time and picked out a defender fit for | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
the first penalty corner. and picked out a defender fit for | :06:26. | :06:38. | |
defender's foot. That was Jackson | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
The ball was defended by the That was Jackson | :06:50. | :07:14. | |
Jackson. He has scored five goals so far this tournament. | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
I think the umpires are making it clear that they won't take any | :07:25. | :07:34. | |
nonsense. Canada lost a chance for possession because they took the | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
free hit miles away from where they were supposed to. | :07:37. | :07:52. | |
That was good work from Mark Pearson, the number 19. He got | :07:53. | :08:37. | |
himself out of trouble. The service was not as good. That is behind for | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
an England ball. England, I think, have got too much | :08:40. | :08:54. | |
in the locker. They have more skill and they have got Ashley Jackson | :08:55. | :08:55. | |
whose corners have been so good. This is number 202 for David Jameson | :08:56. | :09:29. | |
of Canada. -- cap number 202. That was good work from Barry | :09:30. | :10:15. | |
Middleton, he lifted it up above the red stick. The England captain, such | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
a threat pushing forward. England's enjoying plenty of | :10:20. | :11:12. | |
possession in the first seven minutes of this match. | :11:13. | :11:29. | |
That is a relief of pressure from England. He is noting something he | :11:30. | :11:38. | |
wants to see to the boys at half-time. England are pressuring | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
Canada at the back and the Canadian defence are holding out at the | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
moment. Bouncing ball, not far away from a | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
Canadian stick in the circle. Canadian possession. Both teams have | :11:55. | :12:28. | |
different positions. Canada have two force something if they have any | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
ambition about making the semifinals. Impossible is not the | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
word but it is unlikely. They need eight goals which is a huge ask. | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
England need to limit the damage because they are already through in | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
effect. Parade and setting up a good game in next performance, | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
confidence, it is very important in this tournament. | :12:55. | :13:45. | |
Good work to Canada on the left but it will be England's ball. | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
That is Paul Bundy, assistant coach for Canada on the bench. | :13:54. | :14:02. | |
England had men forward. Simon Mantell winning 132. -- cap number | :14:03. | :14:20. | |
132. I did not like the hate of it across | :14:21. | :14:33. | |
the suckle. It was a dangerous cross. There are some very | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
encouraging one twos into the area. advances, working on possession deep | :14:39. | :15:17. | |
from round the pitch. Barry Middleton flawed... Floored. | :15:18. | :15:31. | |
really. That is Canada's Ball, a chance to rebuild. | :15:32. | :16:20. | |
An attempt to put some pressure on the England defence, good work from | :16:21. | :16:29. | |
Simon Mantell. Catlin, he returns it to Mantell. | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
A swing and a miss, but Catlin is trying to produce something more. | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
Nice turn. To the edges again and behind. | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
That is England at their best, really. That is when the classically | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
attack and with pace. They have fast forwards and a fast midfield and | :16:53. | :16:53. | |
they manage to find lots David Condon, who lives in an | :16:54. | :17:03. | |
attacking position for England now. England, camped out in the Canadian | :17:04. | :17:28. | |
The ball finding its way all the way through, a little deflection, and | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Michael Hoare, near post, often best to put it across the goal, at least | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
make the goalkeeper save it. to put it across the goal, at least | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
Ho-Garcia unable to to put it across the goal, at least | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
from. No doubt he will be called to put it across the goal, at least | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
forward for some more, or to put it across the goal, at least | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
With the rolling to put it across the goal, at least | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
per game so far, England have done 55, if anyone out there is | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
interested in those kinds of stats. Good from Fox, Middleton unable to | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
make contact, this Good from Fox, Middleton unable to | :18:19. | :18:31. | |
Yes, it ended up in Mark Gleghorne's stick. The ball just | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
pops off his stake, looked like he could not miss. That is unlucky. | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
I think he got a slap could not miss. That is unlucky. | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
as well, from the goalkeeper's padded glove. Elbow. | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
Yes, he has done some damage there, the elbow or wrist. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
He has gone off the field of play for the moment. | :18:54. | :19:16. | |
Scoreless here, as Canada go higher. It shows how well England are | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
playing defensively at the moment, they are pressing them, cutting out | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
all the midfield passes. There is nothing on for Canada other than | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
just to chop it up the other end and give it back to England. -- chuck it | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
up. England are happy to just pass it | :19:37. | :19:51. | |
around amongst themselves until there is a forward moving | :19:52. | :20:02. | |
opportunity. Lewers forward, Middleton takes it, short pass. Good | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
movement forward this time from Phil Roper. Penalty corner for England. | :20:08. | :20:20. | |
Lewers -- Willars winning that corner for the deliberate foul. He | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
is playing football, isn't he quit you might he cannot do that, that is | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
a deliberate foul, obviously a penalty corner. Number two for | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
England. So, Iain Lewers striding over. | :20:35. | :20:47. | |
Jackson is on the bench, so we have Roper and Catlin. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Jackson will have to watch this one. Catlin, number ten, Roper, number | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
15. It is Roper. | :20:59. | :20:59. | |
Saved. Back in the shooting circle, but | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
cleared by Canada. And they are containing England at | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
the moment. Yes, good save from David Carter. He | :21:11. | :21:20. | |
is going to be key for Canada this morning. He has done well this | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
tournament, not let into many goals. England are mounting pressure and | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
you cannot help feeling that in the end something is going to happen. | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
Lewers to his left. Fox goes forward. | :21:38. | :21:51. | |
Yes, the umpire has blown because there is protective gear on the | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
field of play. That is the penalty corner defence | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
kick. They rip it off and chuck it behind, | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
but sometimes it doesn't find where it needs to go, so they have to | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
start with a bully. Canada giving back possession, rightly so, and the | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
game continues. 0-0 into the second quarter of the | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
match. Panesar has possession for Canada. Surrounded by three blue | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
shirts, trying to get a stick on the ball. | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
Some control for Canada, back to Panesar. | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
That is a nice little flick forward, aimed for Curran. He puts his stick | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
on the ground and gets hit in now. Taylor Curran, the Canadian 29. | :22:58. | :23:06. | |
The Canadians must get the basics right if they are to cause England | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
any trouble here as the rain starts to fall. We knew it would come, we | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
hoped it would not come quite so early or a quite so heavily, but it | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
is chucking it down now. Full. A bit of a Canadian sandwich that, | :23:17. | :23:33. | |
one of the players still down, the Canadian number 26, Matthew Guest, | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
has stayed down and I think he is in a bit of distress. | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
Guest has hurt his ribs, I think. Yes, he got a crunch from both sides | :23:46. | :23:54. | |
there. Well, this rain, it makes the pitch | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
a bit more wet and slows it down, and it would necessarily suit | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
England. They like to visit the ball around. | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
There is Jackson! He has gone over the top. | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
That is the second time Jackson has had an opportunity and years kicking | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
himself at the moment. Good boys, good balance -- good poise, he will | :24:20. | :24:29. | |
be hitting himself. The first clear scoring opportunity | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
for Ashley Jackson. That looks like another wrist, that | :24:32. | :24:42. | |
is to wrist -- two wrists. Guest for Canada receiving | :24:43. | :24:43. | |
treatment. Lewers. He has been injecting the | :24:44. | :25:07. | |
penalty corners so far this game for England. Yes, just being patient | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
with the ball, trying to move Canada across the pitch and then find some | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
spaces down on the top of the D. Long run in, looking for a penalty | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
corner parameters behind, it will be a long corner for England to be | :25:23. | :25:24. | |
taken by Harry Martin. The little attempted turn and go for | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
Adam Dixon, but he was held up. High ball. Well controlled by | :25:31. | :25:52. | |
Pereira. Nice touch from him and a good pass, as well. Canada heading | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
towards the D. Jackson back to recover some poise for England and | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
he has made up quite a few metres, Ashley Jackson. He just loses out. | :26:04. | :26:12. | |
Pereira down the left. Just a little too strong. | :26:13. | :26:26. | |
high. Nice move from Lewers, a decent pass | :26:27. | :26:56. | |
to Harry Martin. Martin all the way to the edge and he goes to the | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
corner, around the outside and back into a solid position. Encouraging | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
signs from England. Michael Hoare, back to Ashley Jackson. | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
Good turn from Harry Martin, still going. He gets a shot on goal, but | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
the defence is solid. Jackson looking for the pass a cross. Solid, | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
robust defence all the way through this first half by the Canadians. | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
England putting huge pressure on Canada, they are still yet to break. | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
Eight shots to nil, but they do not count at the end of the game, they | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
need goals. Canada just about hanging on at the moment. | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
I am happy to report that the man who went off with the wrist injury | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
for England, Mark Gleghorne, is poised to return to the field. He | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
has had some treatment and is happy to resume play. | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
There he is, Gleghorne, on the right standing alongside a bit Condon, who | :28:00. | :28:06. | |
is also about to come on. -- David Condon. | :28:07. | :28:18. | |
Lots of communication between the Canadians, but unfortunately for the | :28:19. | :28:35. | |
red shirts the pass was poor. That | :28:36. | :28:35. | |
red shirts the pass was poor. the game. | :28:36. | :28:59. | |
free it this time. What a goal! | :29:00. | :29:14. | |
That is more What a goal! | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
scored by Ashley Jackson. That has been coming for some time | :29:20. | :29:21. | |
now. That has been coming for some time | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
mounting, lovely little bit of work there, Iqbal income he made the move | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
and smashes the ball across. Jackson diving on that reverse stick. Get a | :29:30. | :29:36. | |
beautiful touch, lifts it over the keeper | :29:37. | :29:38. | |
game and England have broken the deadlock. | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
Cracking score by Ashley Jackson, his sixth goal of the tournament. He | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
is having an excellent Commonwealth Games. | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
England one, Canada nil. The last ten minutes of the half. | :29:53. | :30:09. | |
England are off the mark. That it should settle them down. Canada can | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
see the tiny should settle them down. Canada can | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
further into the distance. Canada needed nine goals now. | :30:18. | :30:28. | |
The Canadians will be hoping to get some scoring opportunities in the | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
last nine minutes of this first half. | :30:35. | :30:51. | |
England is trying to push it towards the goal. Canada ball. I thought | :30:52. | :31:00. | |
they had the birdies in there. Canada managed to scramble it away. | :31:01. | :31:07. | |
-- the birdies. So far, George Pinner has had | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
nothing to do in the England goal. Mark Gleghorne was dispossessed and | :31:13. | :31:59. | |
Mark Jackson will take the free hit deep inside Canadian territory. | :32:00. | :33:45. | |
Canada are quite lively down the right-hand side. Good stick control | :33:46. | :33:57. | |
from Curran. That is the best period that Canada have had. They kept | :33:58. | :34:00. | |
possession and strong some passes together. He will miss the next two | :34:01. | :34:35. | |
minutes. He will be back in time for the conclusion of this first car. | :34:36. | :34:41. | |
England should it go and get a penalty corner. -- England shoot. | :34:42. | :34:58. | |
There was plenty of England shorts in the circle to get the rebound. | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
Ashley Jackson is on the field so they can have a go at this. He is | :35:05. | :35:14. | |
the penalty corner specialist. Jackson has already scored from open | :35:15. | :35:15. | |
play. That was just over the top. Quite a | :35:16. | :35:31. | |
way over the top in fact. Perhaps his soul rest is impeding his play. | :35:32. | :35:38. | |
He stood aside and let click on have a shot. Lots of power but very | :35:39. | :35:43. | |
little direction. Canada have just over four minutes | :35:44. | :36:05. | |
to try to get something from this half. That was good stick work. | :36:06. | :36:42. | |
England will hope for another penalty corner and that is what they | :36:43. | :36:51. | |
have got. Canadian foot on the ball. Green card for Canada. England have | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
forced two penalty corner is when they have had only ten players. Some | :36:57. | :37:01. | |
mistakes creeping in. He just overran the ball, Keegan Pereira | :37:02. | :37:12. | |
just putting his foot on it. Very easy for England. England have | :37:13. | :37:16. | |
experimented at the penalty corner stage so far. I wonder who will get | :37:17. | :37:22. | |
a crack at this one? Only one option this time, to Dixon. Jackson, along | :37:23. | :37:33. | |
the turf and behind. They were looking for the deflection for Lewis | :37:34. | :37:34. | |
to get it. Jackson He is quick, Gabriel Hall Garcia. He | :37:35. | :38:18. | |
is 21 and a great prospect for the Canadian team in the future. | :38:19. | :38:37. | |
is 21 and a great prospect for the the last 90 seconds of the half. | :38:38. | :38:47. | |
Jackson will get the free hit. That was a shoulder charge. Alastair | :38:48. | :38:55. | |
Brogdon bullied off the ball. Penalty corner coming for England. | :38:56. | :39:02. | |
Little triangles being played by England, moving the ball across and | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
getting into the circle the opposite way, causing great problems for the | :39:08. | :39:14. | |
Canadian defence. Pressure is beginning to tell and mistakes are | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
coming more regularly in the Canadian defence. The ball jumped up | :39:18. | :39:22. | |
coming more regularly in the each other's way. No joy so far from | :39:23. | :39:33. | |
the penalty corner set piece. This will be the final attack of the | :39:34. | :39:34. | |
half. Still no luck. Missing the target, | :39:35. | :39:50. | |
very unusual for Ashley Jackson. He is being tested. They are 0-5 which | :39:51. | :39:57. | |
That ends the first period of play is pretty unusual. | :39:58. | :40:08. | |
That ends the first period of play here. One single goal separates the | :40:09. | :40:16. | |
two sides. It came from an excellent goal from Ashley Jackson. England | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
1-0 Canada at half-time. We will be back for the second half | :40:21. | :40:32. | |
of that match. We will be catching up on the men's time trial is on the | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
very wet streets of Glasgow. That is why we are inside. Let us take a | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
look at David Millar from Scotland because he is bound to get one of | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
the biggest cheers on the roads today. | :40:47. | :40:55. | |
When you look at your back story, where you have came from, Time out | :40:56. | :41:04. | |
the sport, coming back, it is interesting the way that Scotland | :41:05. | :41:06. | |
approached you and welcome to give back into the sport. In adversity | :41:07. | :41:13. | |
you find your true friends and that is the case with Scotland. They came | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
through and supported me through everything. During my suspension, I | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
spent time in Edinburgh with friends. I realise that I was coming | :41:24. | :41:29. | |
home. It was one place I felt at home because people were so kind to | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
me. It is my home country, my homeland. I feel very proud to be | :41:35. | :41:43. | |
part of team. David Millar is the Commonwealth Games champion and gold | :41:44. | :41:49. | |
medal winner. The first Scot ever to win a gold medal on the road! You | :41:50. | :41:56. | |
have one big races, big stages, time trials. The victory in India, what | :41:57. | :42:04. | |
did it mean? I had not expected it to be as big. I had done the World | :42:05. | :42:11. | |
Championships and finished second. In India, it felt a lot different. | :42:12. | :42:17. | |
It felt honest and real. It felt more sincere. It is the first time I | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
had ever raced in a Scotland jersey and I did not expect the effect it | :42:24. | :42:31. | |
would have on me. To win, it was something very unexpected. The time | :42:32. | :42:36. | |
trial is very different to the one in India, what do you make of the | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
course and the big challenge coming in from Australia and England, it | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
could be no more different from India. One of the hardest I have | :42:46. | :42:51. | |
ever done. Here, I do not think we have got a straight line and it | :42:52. | :42:57. | |
suits me well. It is quite revealing and you cannot picture head down and | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
look at the numbers on your machine. Follow your heart rate and power | :43:02. | :43:06. | |
out. It will be explosive and diverse. It should make a good race. | :43:07. | :43:13. | |
You are retiring at the end of this year, it brings different emotions, | :43:14. | :43:19. | |
doesn't it? I do not know how much difference it makes. I and | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
performance driven here. I trained hard and am feeling good. I am | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
trying to disengage from everything else that is happening. When I found | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
out I would not be doing the tour in France, it made me feel more focused | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
for the right reasons, to be at my best. What will it be like riding | :43:39. | :43:47. | |
around the roads of Glasgow? At the National Championships I had had | :43:48. | :43:53. | |
never had so much support. My family are here. My final race will be in | :43:54. | :43:59. | |
front of the Glaswegian crowd. I have any memories of Glasgow. It is | :44:00. | :44:01. | |
quite poetic and a full circle. It has been a roller-coaster for | :44:02. | :44:14. | |
David Millar. He will be hoping for an easy ride this afternoon and we | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
wish him well. We have been joined by a bronze medal winning wrestler. | :44:19. | :44:24. | |
The first time Scotland won a wrestling medal for over 20 years. | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
Thank you so much for joining us. Has it sunk in yet? Not quite yet. | :44:30. | :44:38. | |
Too soon. It will take a few days. How did you celebrate? It was a | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
quiet night. I try to get some sleep but it did not happen. I was up at | :44:43. | :44:48. | |
five a.m.. It was a big battle but some incredible celebrations. I did | :44:49. | :44:56. | |
not plan to celebrate as such. It was instantaneous. You looked | :44:57. | :45:03. | |
exhausted, wiped out. At that point, I was happy, full of happiness more | :45:04. | :45:10. | |
than anything else. This is very impressive. We do know that your | :45:11. | :45:16. | |
wife, Laura Davies, is a former Scottish gymnast. Has she been | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
helping? No, she was not happy with me with the somersault. She said it | :45:22. | :45:29. | |
was not a perfect ten and I have to practice. I said, you try and do it | :45:30. | :45:41. | |
after a day wrestling! What are your expectations coming | :45:42. | :45:45. | |
into the Commonwealth Games? My expectations were always high, to | :45:46. | :45:51. | |
raise the bar high. There were so many times I came so close, this was | :45:52. | :45:58. | |
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whatever will be will be, but I am | :45:59. | :46:04. | |
not going medal -- going away without a medal. | :46:05. | :46:07. | |
You live in Aberdeen sure but you have not always been in Scotland, | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
you are from Moldova. Tell us about how you arrived in Scotland. | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
It has been a long time, almost 16 years. I have to think about it. It | :46:18. | :46:22. | |
has not been an easy ride, to be honest. I came here as a man, almost | :46:23. | :46:29. | |
19, on my own, so obviously I find it difficult settling in. But it did | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
not take me long. After a year or so I moved to Glasgow and met some | :46:34. | :46:38. | |
friends and it happened I fell in love with the beautiful Scottish | :46:39. | :46:41. | |
girl and the rest is history, really. | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
You missed out on Manchester because you did not have a UK passport? | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
Yes, at the time I was a couple of years into it and I was told I could | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
apply and get the passport in time and hopefully compete at Manchester. | :46:56. | :47:01. | |
It was perfect timing, I was 22, but it didn't happen. Looking back on | :47:02. | :47:07. | |
it, I think certain things happen for the right reason. I don't regret | :47:08. | :47:12. | |
it. I have been waiting for a long time to celebrate this and share my | :47:13. | :47:19. | |
happiness with the rest of the folks in Scottish wrestling. | :47:20. | :47:25. | |
You were in Delhi, but then you came out of retirement to come back to | :47:26. | :47:28. | |
Glasgow, is that right? Yes, that is right, and to be honest | :47:29. | :47:35. | |
I was in two minds. After Delhi I did not want to go near a mat as an | :47:36. | :47:42. | |
athlete, at all. I had done everything I thought I could | :47:43. | :47:46. | |
possibly do. I thought I was past my best. But then I had good people | :47:47. | :47:54. | |
around me, like my family, the likes of Vladimir, who has been a friend | :47:55. | :48:00. | |
and a coach who believed in me and said, you still have a lot to give. | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
To be honest, I have a nine-year-old son who has been my biggest fan and | :48:06. | :48:12. | |
he was trying to say to me, why are you coaching, not competing? I tried | :48:13. | :48:16. | |
to explain to him the difficulties of being a coach and an athlete. I | :48:17. | :48:22. | |
did not do so good, and I said, I think I have to do this one more for | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
him than for anyone else. Tell us about the state of wrestling | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
in Scotland. It is obviously huge in the country you came from, Moldova, | :48:32. | :48:36. | |
less so there. It has been great it has been in the Commonwealth Games | :48:37. | :48:39. | |
and there have been a huge crowd in to watch you, but I popular is | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
wrestling becoming in Scotland, do you think? | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
Hopefully after yesterday's and maybe today's events, wrestling will | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
be somewhat more popular. I think it is just a case of getting people | :48:53. | :48:59. | |
educated about the sport itself. There is just not enough coverage or | :49:00. | :49:02. | |
interest. I think it is something to do with culture, when you have so | :49:03. | :49:10. | |
much choice, football is the number-1 sport. We love football, | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
and it is easy to do it, it is accessible. Wrestling is much the | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
same. Any child who grows up, boy or girl, lost to wrestle their brother | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
or sister, it is a natural thing. It is just having access to join a club | :49:26. | :49:29. | |
or being exposed to the moment. That is what we have to excel at | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
Scottish wrestling. Just briefly, you are going back to | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
coach and now that is your career as a wrestler finished? | :49:40. | :49:40. | |
Yes, I think so, I think so. a wrestler finished? | :49:41. | :49:44. | |
stage I could not think of competing a wrestler finished? | :49:45. | :49:49. | |
again on a front stage. People watching me. I think I have done | :49:50. | :49:54. | |
good to end. That is a perfect way to finish. | :49:55. | :49:57. | |
Thank you very much for joining us this morning, it has been lovely to | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
talk to you. Canada and England | :50:02. | :50:01. | |
talk to you. come it is the second half of the | :50:02. | :50:07. | |
men's hockey, it is 1-0 to England. We can rejoin them, our commentators | :50:08. | :50:12. | |
are mat children -- Matt Chilton and Sean Kerly. | :50:13. | :50:18. | |
COMMENTATOR: Second half under way. England are now waiting for | :50:19. | :50:27. | |
COMMENTATOR: Second half under way. He is listening to the PA | :50:28. | :50:29. | |
COMMENTATOR: Second half under way. It started after the countdown was | :50:30. | :50:30. | |
completed after the on-site It started after the countdown was | :50:31. | :50:36. | |
who controlled the match. -- the on-site announcement. | :50:37. | :50:47. | |
Right, I think we can start properly now. | :50:48. | :51:06. | |
Right, I think we can start properly setback. This is | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
Right, I think we can start properly from England, good shooting | :51:11. | :51:14. | |
opportunity and it has found the back of the net courtesy of the | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
captain, Barry Middleton. England two, Canada nil. | :51:19. | :51:23. | |
Great fast hands here, two, Canada nil. | :51:24. | :51:31. | |
Middleton gets one trap, doesn't quite get it first time but he is | :51:32. | :51:34. | |
quicker than the Canadian defence and second time round and popped it | :51:35. | :51:38. | |
in the goal. Good pressure from England, this time Canada could not | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
Gleghorne holding it up. England, leading 2-0. | :51:45. | :51:53. | |
Gleghorne holding it up. nice play. | :51:54. | :52:01. | |
Gleghorne holding it up. He has made a run down the right | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
hand side. Fox. Middleton. | :52:07. | :52:11. | |
In space on the Right there, England. | :52:12. | :52:19. | |
Gleghorne flicks it in. Inside the circle, Lewers was held up there. | :52:20. | :52:31. | |
Jackson, goes all the way back to Michael Hoare. Dan Fox one Saint on | :52:32. | :52:41. | |
the left -- wants it on the left. Good effort, Middleton might get a | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
chance to swing at this. Canada getting themselves out of trouble | :52:46. | :52:46. | |
temporarily, at least. chance to swing at this. Canada | :52:47. | :52:47. | |
getting themselves out of trouble It is behind, long corner for England. | :52:48. | :52:57. | |
Dixon will take it. Middleton darts inside, pushed | :52:58. | :52:58. | |
behind. Brogdon leaves it for Barry | :52:59. | :53:12. | |
Middleton. He takes it on his own. Still England possession. | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
Brogdon. He keeps the forward momentum going. | :53:19. | :53:30. | |
Middleton asking Jackson to come forward. England switched sides. | :53:31. | :53:44. | |
Fox, high. He is frustrated about that, Dan | :53:45. | :53:47. | |
Fox, because that was a good position to get into. England get | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
stuck on one side under pressure, they move the ball around and find | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
space on the other side. Really manipulating this ball, and this | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
Canadian team really well at the moment. | :54:00. | :54:05. | |
England can build again through Ashley Jackson, the bouncing ball | :54:06. | :54:07. | |
through the centre. Canada with a chance to launch their | :54:08. | :54:19. | |
own attack. Pearson. The helicopter overhead | :54:20. | :54:20. | |
following the time trial. George Pinner lets it go. As George | :54:21. | :54:32. | |
Pinner actually touched the ball yet? I don't think he has. | :54:33. | :54:38. | |
It is a long ball, the chance for England here. | :54:39. | :54:43. | |
Condon's shot, saved. A much brighter start to the second | :54:44. | :54:53. | |
half for England than we saw in the first. Guest weaves his way into | :54:54. | :55:00. | |
England territory. That is when it stops. | :55:01. | :55:38. | |
Good passing, nice and crisp and clean. -- Wharton fires at forward, | :55:39. | :55:49. | |
that was not so crisp and clean. It is up in the centre of the field. | :55:50. | :55:59. | |
David Conlin inside to Catlin. His long ball is too far for Simon | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
Mantell. Lots of rotation is going on and off | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
the pitch at the moment, Canada, particularly, have a high rotation. | :56:09. | :56:13. | |
That is a good tackle. Well played by Scott Tapper, the | :56:14. | :56:25. | |
captain. He has relinquished possession here. This will not | :56:26. | :56:31. | |
matter for England now, they are two goals in front and in an | :56:32. | :56:34. | |
unassailable position as fat as progressing to the semifinals. In | :56:35. | :56:38. | |
the semifinals they will need those passes to count. Yes, they will, | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
they will probably end up playing Australia who have won the other | :56:43. | :56:57. | |
group. Jackson looking for the return ball. | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
Shot on goal but the whistle had gone. | :57:03. | :57:08. | |
Canada are really finding it difficult to keep England at bay at | :57:09. | :57:11. | |
the moment, but they are still hanging on by their fingernails. | :57:12. | :57:15. | |
They are still trying, and the good thing to take out of this is really | :57:16. | :57:20. | |
they are not expecting to win but they have to try and get something | :57:21. | :57:22. | |
out of this. It is great experience for them, they don't get the chance | :57:23. | :57:28. | |
to play at such high-level Games very often. The Commonwealth Games | :57:29. | :57:38. | |
is a good environment for that. Panesar tangling with Harry Martin. | :57:39. | :57:43. | |
Free hit taken again. The Canadians in the England D. | :57:44. | :57:57. | |
Iain Smythe takes the long corner always back. Martin asking for it on | :57:58. | :58:03. | |
the right-hand side for Canada. Only as far as Middleton, who has | :58:04. | :58:15. | |
just watched that drift behind. It was the right ball. Canada left | :58:16. | :58:21. | |
that side free for a runner, but the timing is not quite there for Canada | :58:22. | :58:26. | |
at the moment. They are getting a bit tired, they are having to do a | :58:27. | :58:32. | |
lot of the chasing in this game. Weir loses out to Tupper, but gets | :58:33. | :58:38. | |
possession for England. Weir again, chance to dart inside, | :58:39. | :58:53. | |
nice play, until the pass, which was too short for David Condon. | :58:54. | :59:09. | |
Wright's high well-controlled. -- Tupper's highball. | :59:10. | :59:28. | |
Hildreth takes it for Canada and there is a little | :59:29. | :59:30. | |
Hildreth takes it for bit of niggle in the circle, which is being dealt | :59:31. | :59:34. | |
with by the umpire. Canada, all the way back to the | :59:35. | :59:40. | |
halfway line and behind. Tupper. Roper chasing him all the | :59:41. | :59:45. | |
way. Benjamin Martin for Canada and Harry | :59:46. | :00:25. | |
Martin for England. England 2-0 Canada. One goal in each | :00:26. | :01:07. | |
half. are having a believer but they have | :01:08. | :02:20. | |
intensity. The is are having a believer but they have | :02:21. | :02:32. | |
riding on the game for now. -- a breather. Canada need to take | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
something out of breather. Canada need to take | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
to work to get back into the game to errors. They are getting in the | :02:43. | :03:26. | |
faeces, particularly in midfield. -- faces. | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
faeces, particularly in midfield. -- faces. | :03:33. | :03:47. | |
The England defence has been rock solid. The rain of returns. | :03:48. | :04:13. | |
Everybody rushes for their umbrellas and courts. -- reading courts. And | :04:14. | :04:25. | |
whatever else they can find to keep dry. Keegan Pereira gets a green | :04:26. | :04:49. | |
card for closing down. England have got an extra man for | :04:50. | :05:05. | |
the next couple of minutes. England will be disappointed if they do not | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
get something from this. I've a goal or an opportunity to score | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
get something from this. I've a goal penalty corner. -- either illegal. | :05:15. | :05:26. | |
They do not seem to be as alert as they have been. He is looking very | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
concerned and disappointed with what is coming out of the game and a | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
number of errors that Canada are making. England only have two Mac | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
goals from the 17 opportunities. Canada have yet to do anything. | :05:43. | :06:13. | |
Busy second for Harry Martin. Over the top, penalty corner for England. | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
That last 30 seconds, that was the intensity that England need to play | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
with all of the game. It is the instructions the culture is trying | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
to get to his team. That came off the foot. That is the intensity the | :06:31. | :06:41. | |
court requires his team to play with. England get to school from a | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
penalty corner. They have had a few attempts at various options. Maybe | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Ashley Jackson will fancy his chances. | :06:51. | :07:05. | |
That was bravely defended and painfully so by Paul Wharton. Still | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
no luck from the penalty corner for England. | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
He took one on the body for his team. | :07:25. | :07:45. | |
He had a bit of a three legged race with one of the Canadians. | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
Penalty corner. That'll do for England. Brilliant individual | :07:56. | :08:09. | |
skills. Nick Catlin was able to get past all the players that were | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
around him. He has worked hard on his kills full -- on his skills. Rpm | :08:15. | :08:30. | |
142 for Nick Catlin today. -- appearance. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
We have another change of injection duties for England. This time Nick | :08:36. | :08:49. | |
Catlin will inject. It is Jackson who plant sit in the top corner. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Beautifully done. England 3-0 Canada. That is the first time that | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
England have managed to get a quick ball out, stopped quickly and | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Jackson has the time to put the ball in the goalkeeper 's top right-hand | :09:10. | :09:22. | |
corner. Beautiful straight. Ashley Jacksonpos-mac seventh goal of the | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
tournament and his second of the scheme. | :09:25. | :09:47. | |
Just under 16 minutes to play. England will face Australia in the | :09:48. | :10:09. | |
semifinals. It will be tough. Australia have won all of the | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Commonwealth gold medals in the men's hockey since Malaysia in 1998 | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
when it was introduced. Four gold medals for Australia. And they are | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
England's next opponents in the semifinal knockout stages of this | :10:28. | :10:41. | |
Glasgow hockey tournament. The other semifinal likely to see New Zealand | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
taking on either India or save Africa who go into battle later | :10:48. | :10:48. | |
today. -- South Africa. There is Anthony Farley filling | :10:49. | :11:21. | |
instructions down to the pitch. There's not a lot Canada can to -- | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
can do, England are just too strong for them all around. | :11:28. | :12:11. | |
Canadian player hitting the ball onto his own foot. The rain has | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
ended and onto his own foot. The rain has | :12:16. | :12:28. | |
Glasgow. -- next level. Harry Martin doing some good work | :12:29. | :14:19. | |
That came off his foot. play that off your backside. | :14:20. | :14:50. | |
Andy yellow card has been shown. A further reduction in numbers for | :14:51. | :14:59. | |
Canada. A five-minute sit down. There is the man who has to sit down | :15:00. | :15:30. | |
for five minutes, Iain Smythe. They are getting tired and England are | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
beginning to dominate them some more. | :15:34. | :16:01. | |
Jackson. England with plenty of options here. Penalty corner. It | :16:02. | :16:17. | |
looked like a penalty corner, the umpire shaped as if to call it then | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
put his hands down. He changed his mind. -- the umpire shook. | :16:22. | :16:36. | |
That was for the yellow card. Iain Smythe barging Harry Martin out of | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
the way. Johnston for Canada, sends it deep | :16:45. | :16:58. | |
into his own half. The Canadian defender, harassed now by Barry | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
Middleton, the England captain. Canada will do well to escape from | :17:03. | :17:12. | |
this, but they have not got very far. Off the foot, Canada ball. | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
England can afford to push up, they have a spare man at the back. | :17:19. | :17:29. | |
Great work from Dixon. He has covered two thirds of the length of | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
the pitch before he just ran out of steam. | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
Good interception from Ashley Jackson. England three, Canada | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
neo-con eight minutes to play. Jackson taking it all the way into | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
Canadian territory. Harry Martin, feeds it back... | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
Canada are there to control. Licking forehead foot on the ball here, | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
outside of the circle now. -- looking for a red foot. | :18:11. | :18:23. | |
Dixon finds Jackson. And Jackson finds his own foot. But | :18:24. | :18:33. | |
England are still battling against this packed defence. Not a lot of | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
space in the back there when it is tight, everyone is back in their own | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
D. It is the skills of Jackson and Barry Middleton that have unlocked | :18:46. | :18:46. | |
it so far. Martin on the right. | :18:47. | :19:11. | |
Highball coming downfield from Michael Hoare. | :19:12. | :19:23. | |
Canada still a man down, Smythe still on the bench in the sin bin, | :19:24. | :19:33. | |
as Curran takes control for Canada on the right-hand side. | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
Jameson spread it around. The Canadian defenders are immediately | :19:41. | :19:41. | |
under pressure. Smythe is by Colin now, his five | :19:42. | :20:12. | |
minutes detention is over. -- is back on now. Backhand shot kicked | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
away. George Pinner taking no chances. He had to kick that, didn't | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
he quit you might he has not touched the ball for such a long time, could | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
have left it, decided to take the ball. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Another backhand shot in, high this time. Iain Lewers listed over the | :20:33. | :20:42. | |
top -- lifts it over the top. Gleghorne chasing him all the way | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
upfield. Gleghorne makes this steel, well | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
played, Mark Gleghorne. Martin. | :20:51. | :21:06. | |
Hoare on the right-hand side. Dixon. Lewers. Too strong for Jackson. | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
Frustrating little errors for England. It is breaking up their | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
pattern of play a little bit. They are having a lot of possession | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
and they are still finding it hard to get many returns. They have | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
scored three goals, but they have had a lot of chances. | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
That is good pick-up. Froese for Canada into the D, draws | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
it back, swing and a miss. Penalty corner. Canada have been happy to | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
let that go and score the goal when they get the penalty corner. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
Less than four minutes of the match to play. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
Good work by Canada, space in behind and made England pay. Just could not | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
get this tap should there which is what they were looking for, but the | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
penalty corner was awarded, the ball off Dixon's foot there. He could | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
have played advantage there. Yes, Richard Hildreth with the final | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
touch before it hits the back of the net but it won't count. | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
It is Froese. Tupper waiting. It is Tapper! | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
-- Tupper! Well, something for Pinner to do. | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
The danger not entirely averted here for England. There is another one | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
coming for Canada here, second penalty corner. George Pinner gets | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
something else to do now, but not that you will mind. Canada are doing | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
well, good skill on the foot. George Pinner saved the first | :23:05. | :23:21. | |
penalty corner attempt. Canada have another one now. | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
Maybe a change of personnel here for Canada. | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
It is Tupper again and that is an excellent goal. Terrific drag flick | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
from the Canadian captain, Scott Tupper. And with two minutes to go | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
they pulled one back. Pinner thinks that is going to the | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
right where there is no man on the line, just makes a tiny adjustment | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
but Tupper flies that in with real pace. Pinner is not | :23:58. | :24:10. | |
widen the gap again. Into the | :24:11. | :24:27. | |
Canada unable to keep it in. Weir asking for it on | :24:28. | :24:40. | |
Canada unable to keep it in. Weir Catlin, Middleton, | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
Canada unable to keep it in. Weir England will | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
Canada unable to keep it in. Weir they have just lost, the 3-goal | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
advantage, as Weir gets to the edge of the circle and is held up. It is | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
a penalty corner, well played. Well, good reply to that earlier | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
lapse by England. Henry Weir doing some good work, showing his skill at | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
the top of the circle there, again just looking for that foot. Pereira | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
just committing forward with the planted foot, it is a big target. | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
Yes, well played, Henry Weir. planted foot, it is a big target. | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
the foot, and is the penalty corner for England. It will be the last | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
play of the match. Catlin is up. Condon is there, Jackson as well. | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
Michael Hoare, the number 12. You'll recall, England's penalty | :25:43. | :25:42. | |
corner. It is Jackson! | :25:43. | :26:03. | |
Another penalty corner for England. Wharton ran down the line again and | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
got hit again. Every time he has run out to Jackson he has got hit. | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
He is the tallest player on the field. | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
Six foot four. He gets in the face of Jackson, he gets in the face of | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
Jackson, he's is doing a good job but I reckon he is going to be | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
picking up brews after brewers. Iain Lewers to inject for England. | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
Catlin, Roper, Gleghorne and Jackson lined up. | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
-- brews after brews. -- bruise. Ashley Jackson rattled the upright | :26:39. | :26:54. | |
and behind and that concludes the final match with the scoreline in | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
favour of England, they have beaten Canada 3-0. | :27:01. | :27:14. | |
Dominant performance by England, really, but a bit disappointing in | :27:15. | :27:24. | |
many ways. Giving the ball away a bit too much and just chipping that | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
one goal, but the real problem for them was not getting the return they | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
should really get from the opportunities they created. They | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
moved the ball around well, worked well, but Canada fought hard and | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
made it very difficult for England. They defended really well in their | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
own D, digging the ball out many times, but England were too strong | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
for them. Although this was a bit of a dead game, really, not a lot on it | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
from England's point of view, they just had to get a draw or not lose | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
by less than eight, it was a victory that they needed. | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
Two goals for Ashley Jackson, one for Barry Middleton. Canada replied | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
late in the second half with the penalty corner scored by their | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
captain, Scott Tupper. Look at that, 23 shots, only three | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
goals. That is not a great return. England are through to the | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
semifinals. They will then face the mighty Australia. The defending | :28:29. | :28:30. | |
champions. STUDIO: Congratulations to England | :28:31. | :28:41. | |

showing you some of the attractions around the Pacific key area, but we | :29:34. | :29:37. | |
can to Glasgow with someone else, Katherine Grainger learned to roll | :29:38. | :29:41. | |
here. She went to university year and when she won Olympic gold, the | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
corn on top of the statue was even painted in her honour. Let's look at | :29:45. | :30:02. | |
Glasgow with Catherine. Behind the wise Glasgow 's game. -- behind me | :30:03. | :30:11. | |
is Glasgow Green. It will form part of the marathon route and recycling | :30:12. | :30:16. | |
bodies. The River Clyde runs down the side of Glasgow Green and is | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
home to the rowing club. This is a stretch of water where I first got | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
into a boat. I have not looked back since. Just across the street in the | :30:27. | :30:39. | |
East End of Glasgow is the Barras. In the 1960s, it was a popular | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
ballroom. It was transformed into one of the most popular concert | :30:45. | :30:51. | |
venues in the world. Local acts from Dell Nietzsche, Deacon blue and even | :30:52. | :31:05. | |
Lulu began there -- Del Amitri. It is tradition in Glasgow to put a | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
traffic cone on the head of the Duke of Wellington statue. The cone was | :31:10. | :31:17. | |
painted gold when I won the gold medal. Glasgow University is the | :31:18. | :31:24. | |
fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world. It played a | :31:25. | :31:30. | |
crucial role in the 18th century Scottish Enlightenment. It dominates | :31:31. | :31:37. | |
the skyline. Adam Smith, John Lordy Bayard and James Watt all studied | :31:38. | :31:57. | |
there. Two prime ministers. -- John Logie Baird. I am now in the West | :31:58. | :32:09. | |
End. Growing up in Glasgow, no school year was complete without a | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
trip to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Ancient Egypt -- even | :32:15. | :32:20. | |
shipped Egypt, dinosaurs, Medieval Britain, it all began here. This is | :32:21. | :32:31. | |
even a full-size Spitfire. The summer it is the summer it is | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
famous. The Commonwealth Games has came here and it has brought the | :32:37. | :32:37. | |
lawn bowls with it. It certainly is a beautiful city. It | :32:38. | :32:52. | |
is time to see what you have been up to in Glasgow 2014. It is the famous | :32:53. | :33:00. | |
Commonwelfies. This is a picture of her husband who has found Tom Daley. | :33:01. | :33:06. | |
Both look happy. This was at the Badminton last night. This is from a | :33:07. | :33:18. | |
volunteer at the long balls. Well done to the Feste -- 15,000 | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
volunteers who are here. And I do not like to miss out. It is me with | :33:25. | :33:35. | |
Viorel Etko. I am delighted to say that the interview with Craig was so | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
good, he has came back for more today. Last night on BBC One, you | :33:39. | :33:47. | |
did some dancing. I always wanted the opportunity to moonwalk on a red | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
carpet. To do it live on television... You have never done it | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
before? Never. I have practised it in my front room. I want thank the | :33:57. | :34:04. | |
BBC. There is plenty of fantastic gymnastics especially over the last | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
24 hours, it has been incredible. Let us take a look at how the | :34:10. | :34:17. | |
here is the men's individual all-around final. | :34:18. | :34:28. | |
Superb. Starting is all-around competition in the way that he | :34:29. | :34:40. | |
wanted. Pommel horse is a great leveller but to him it is just | :34:41. | :34:46. | |
another piece of apparatus. That is world class from Daniel Keatings. | :34:47. | :34:54. | |
Look at his smile. He is looking unaffected by everything that is | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
going on around him. The leaders so far, Max Whitlock. How important is | :34:59. | :35:06. | |
this bolt for Scotland? Daniel Keatings, it is good enough for him. | :35:07. | :35:13. | |
this bolt for Scotland? Daniel Very good. Medal could well be | :35:14. | :35:25. | |
within reach. He really is focused. He is looking so classy. It couldn't | :35:26. | :35:45. | |
have been any better. Yes, he says. He has absolutely nailed all six | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
pieces of apparatus and Max Whitlock has landed on a gold medal. | :35:49. | :35:56. | |
What an incredible day it was. We have got an umbrella. | :35:57. | :36:02. | |
What an incredible day it was. We was indecisive but there was nothing | :36:03. | :36:05. | |
indecisive about Max Whitlock. He was so consistent. He is such a | :36:06. | :36:12. | |
great all-rounder. It is not like he has one piece of apparatus that lets | :36:13. | :36:13. | |
him down. He is amazing has one piece of apparatus that lets | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
them. This is where he started off so well. It was almost faultless | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
across everything. The so well. It was almost faultless | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
strong for him. He then went on to the pommel horse. He led all the way | :36:27. | :36:32. | |
around the competition. That was so impressive. I think he was top | :36:33. | :36:35. | |
scorer on four of the apparatus. impressive. I think he was top | :36:36. | :36:43. | |
crowd were going crazy every time he came out. It did not matter where | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
they came from even though it came out. It did not matter where | :36:48. | :36:48. | |
Scottish crowd, came out. It did not matter where | :36:49. | :36:54. | |
against Daniel Keatings, they were appreciating something special. What | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
is really nice about the Commonwealth Games, I was talking to | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
my coaches with the team in Manchester, it seems so friendly but | :37:01. | :37:07. | |
back in Manchester it was the same. The Home Nations support is | :37:08. | :37:14. | |
fantastic. Was he to points ahead? He could have afforded to false on | :37:15. | :37:19. | |
that piece of apparatus. It can be quite difficult knowing | :37:20. | :37:22. | |
that piece of apparatus. It can be have got that gap. He must have got | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
that gap. He must've in the bag. He did not hang back. It was not a | :37:28. | :37:31. | |
comfortable ride, he still went out there to do everything he wanted do. | :37:32. | :37:37. | |
That is what makes him such a good coach. In the qualification for the | :37:38. | :37:47. | |
pommel horse, he was up against Lewis Smith. Louis Smith did an easy | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
routine to get into the final. Max went for broke and nearly fell off. | :37:52. | :37:57. | |
He is such a fighter. It makes an exciting to watch and why he is so | :37:58. | :38:04. | |
popular with the fans. Great entertainment and great for | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
gymnastics. Great for Scotland getting the silver medal. That is | :38:09. | :38:12. | |
Scotland's first individual all-around medal with Daniel | :38:13. | :38:16. | |
Keatings. He has had a rocky road over the years. He missed out on | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
London 2012. Some people felt that he should've been in the team in | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
London. It was special for him to come back and perform on home soil. | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
What was the reason he was not? It was injury. People felt it was too | :38:31. | :38:40. | |
early the London games. Maybe some Holden just edged him out. What a | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
comeback. He performed fantastically yesterday. I am so proud for him and | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
his coach. They have done such a great job and great for Scottish | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
gymnastics. You would not guess that he was feeling pressure in front of | :38:56. | :38:59. | |
the home crowd. He performed quite shakily on the first day but that is | :39:00. | :39:04. | |
the merits of stepping out. It is expectation. I remember when I came | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
out in Manchester, just a stones throw from where I born, from the | :39:09. | :39:13. | |
nails and adrenaline I could barely feel my legs. I think he performed | :39:14. | :39:19. | |
so much better in the all-around competition. He has to go | :39:20. | :39:26. | |
head-to-head with Macs and Louis Smith in that pommel horse final | :39:27. | :39:34. | |
today. First senior competition, 18 years old. What I like about him is | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
he is a great all-rounder. It is not as much, -- expectation and pressure | :39:40. | :39:47. | |
on him. People were wondering who is Nile Hudson. He is the most | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
successful European junior gymnast that we have ever had. He is the | :39:52. | :39:57. | |
junior European champion in the team and in the individuals, he won three | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
apparatus. He is somebody for the future and in Brazil in 2016, he is | :40:04. | :40:09. | |
going to be on the money. At yesterday, after competition, Max | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
Whitlock was so complimentary about Nigel Hudson. It is nice to get that | :40:14. | :40:25. | |
recognition. I think that is what makes Macs so likeable as a | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
character. He does some amazing stuff but he is modest. What do you | :40:30. | :40:42. | |
think about that, absolutely amazing. He felt it would not be | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
long before the other guys are doing the troubled West. That is why he is | :40:47. | :40:55. | |
such a favourite. He is very humble. What does that mean for the depth of | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
men's gymnastics in the UK? It just goes to prove that what happened in | :41:01. | :41:06. | |
London was not a fluke. We seem to be building on result after result, | :41:07. | :41:12. | |
after result. It is taking a while to come. A sport like gymnastics is | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
not something you can practice in the back garden. We have had lottery | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
funding for about ten years and it is starting to pay off. What I hope | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
is that the lottery funding goes to all sports. Gymnastics has proven | :41:27. | :41:33. | |
what you can do with that support. Gymnastics has probably been the | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
best -- more successful sport in Great Britain over the past few | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
years. It was not just the men that were going for gold yesterday, the | :41:42. | :41:42. | |
women were at it too. Going for the big double twist. Not | :41:43. | :42:06. | |
a problem. Real mature performance. Cracking the team from her. Very | :42:07. | :42:18. | |
nice work. The crowd here are lovingly performance. Absolutely | :42:19. | :42:25. | |
first class. The women's competition was really | :42:26. | :42:39. | |
interesting because while we were saying that the men were almost | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
faultless, the women were not. It created some interesting | :42:45. | :42:47. | |
mathematics. Once that was out the way, it was just fascinating and | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
almost never lacking to be sitting at home watching it. You should try | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
being in the hydro trying to commentate on it. It was | :42:57. | :43:02. | |
nail-biting. We had enquiries from the English coach, the Canadian | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
coach, the enquiries were rejected. The leaderboard swapped a couple of | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
times. It was so impressive. I said at the start that we could have the | :43:13. | :43:19. | |
first ever England one, two, three. It did shift but it ended up that | :43:20. | :43:26. | |
way. We can to -- take a look at the bronze medal winner. When they were | :43:27. | :43:35. | |
good, they were very good. The beam is always the tricky apparatus. | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
Hannah is very good on the bars. It is one of our strongest PCs. The | :43:41. | :43:56. | |
others are coming in. -- nerves. Knowing that you are in first place | :43:57. | :44:05. | |
has an effect on your performance. That meant that it was Ruby Harrold | :44:06. | :44:11. | |
that took silver. It was tight. Points were changing all the time. | :44:12. | :44:19. | |
She had a very powerful portal stop double twist. Very difficult. -- | :44:20. | :44:34. | |
powerful vault. She had the front somersault on the beam. Very | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
difficult. It is really difficult to compose yourself at that moment in | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
time. Going through her mind would be that the medal had gone out of | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
the window. That is the first thing that hits you. You have to get back | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
up there and perform a floor routine. The floor routine is all | :44:52. | :44:58. | |
about smiling and having a happy face but the Dome, I do not feel | :44:59. | :45:03. | |
happy right now. To go out and deliver is a credit, not only to | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
her, but at the coaches who have supported her. That left the baby of | :45:08. | :45:17. | |
the team, Claudia. She is an incredible story anyway. Afterwards, | :45:18. | :45:22. | |
when she had done the routines, she had a bit of a fall, as well, but | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
the emotion came out of all three girls, didn't it? Yes, that is the | :45:27. | :45:31. | |
first time I have seen the other gymnasts in competition jumping up | :45:32. | :45:35. | |
and down in support. I don't know whether I have nicked | :45:36. | :45:43. | |
named her, but she is definitely the pocket rocket. -- nicknamed. She is | :45:44. | :45:45. | |
so suited to the pocket rocket. -- nicknamed. She is | :45:46. | :45:53. | |
is so compact and powerful. You could see on the beam, she wanted to | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
stay on. They fight like mad, obviously hit the floor and back | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
on. She was holding her side and I was praying | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
on. She was holding her side and I That was the difference between her | :46:07. | :46:08. | |
and Ruby, because Ruby came off clean and she looked like she caught | :46:09. | :46:11. | |
herself. To go on and do this, if you are | :46:12. | :46:15. | |
carrying even a slight bruise, you are going to feel it. | :46:16. | :46:19. | |
And let's not underestimate how difficult her floor routine is. It | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
is a routine that could match the tunnelling of the guys. Full | :46:24. | :46:26. | |
twisting double back straight, they are the things I was training but | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
never good enough to go into a routine. She is so busy. You can see | :46:31. | :46:35. | |
it at the end, the emotion of that routine. She is so busy. You can see | :46:36. | :46:38. | |
it at the end, I think that is what is so great about sport, not just in | :46:39. | :46:41. | |
our sticks. We have seen that emotion throughout the Games. These | :46:42. | :46:46. | |
athletes train for years and years to get to that moment and it all | :46:47. | :46:50. | |
comes out. We saw Lewis am -- Louis Smith crying in the Olympics in the | :46:51. | :46:57. | |
qualification and I don't think people realise what was into that | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
performance. It would be really nice to see them there on the screen, | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
being on the rostrum with their team-mates and going, yes, we have | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
being on the rostrum with their done it, and making history. | :47:10. | :47:12. | |
Young stars gaming experience as everyday goes past. You should be in | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
great form when it comes to real. We will be. I think Claudia Bell | :47:17. | :47:18. | |
will rock the world. She has We will be. I think Claudia Bell | :47:19. | :47:23. | |
will rock the world. She done at the European Championships, she amazed | :47:24. | :47:26. | |
everyone. When we go to the world stage now, people are going, | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
everyone. When we go to the world Britain getting these gymnasts from? | :47:31. | :47:33. | |
everyone. When we go to the world We used to pray for a final, now we | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
are winning medals. It is amazing to be on the other side, to see this | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
transformation and Rio is going to be really exciting. | :47:43. | :47:46. | |
It certainly is. Thank you for joining us, we do not have a live | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
band or the red carpet but you have taken the time to talk to us again, | :47:50. | :47:52. | |
we appreciate it. We have some table taken the time to talk to us again, | :47:53. | :47:54. | |
tennis coming up for you, and if taken the time to talk to us again, | :47:55. | :47:57. | |
don't know there is to know about the sport, take a a | :47:58. | :48:04. | |
men and women. We are all a | :48:05. | :49:08. | |
at the moment and England's Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho, the | :49:09. | :49:15. | |
15-year-old, are taking on New Zealand's pairing of Ten-Ten Liu and | :49:16. | :49:21. | |
Karen Li. Here is how it went, commentary from Trevor Harris. | :49:22. | :49:28. | |
COMMENTATOR: Good start from the English pair. | :49:29. | :49:35. | |
Well, that is why he is so highly ranked in the world. | :49:36. | :49:45. | |
An absolute peach of the backhand from the English number one. | :49:46. | :49:52. | |
Someone has a flashlight in the crowd. | :49:53. | :49:52. | |
A brief respite. They have to serve to the opposite | :49:53. | :50:29. | |
quarter, of course, in doubles. Players must hit alternately. | :50:30. | :50:38. | |
Another of those backhands perfect from Pitchford. | :50:39. | :50:52. | |
Born in Chesterfield, Liam Pitchford. He plays now | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
professionally in Germany. Great play from Karen Li. He spotted | :50:58. | :51:18. | |
it, Pitchford going one way and the ball the other. | :51:19. | :52:01. | |
Pitchford! It is only 9:35am local time but that was the Kiwi 's' | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
wake-up call. They have had a few of them so far. -- the Kiwis' wake-up | :52:07. | :52:09. | |
call. He goes long and the English pair in | :52:10. | :52:35. | |
control here. There is Alan Cooke, the English coach in charge of this | :52:36. | :52:37. | |
team. Just makes that I can flick look so | :52:38. | :52:57. | |
effortless. It is causing the Kiwis no end of trouble. Two points away | :52:58. | :53:04. | |
from securing a one-game lead. Tin-Tin Ho serving. | :53:05. | :53:10. | |
They do not have too much experience as a pairing, Pitchford and Ho. This | :53:11. | :53:16. | |
is invaluable experience for both. So, five-game points. Karen Li to | :53:17. | :53:27. | |
serve. Well, you do not have to hit it hard | :53:28. | :53:42. | |
when you can place it as well as that. | :53:43. | :54:12. | |
Yes! It was not the worst return in the world from Ten-Ten Liu, but this | :54:13. | :54:24. | |
was a bullet. In fact, he has been firing rubber bullets all morning. | :54:25. | :54:32. | |
That is a good riposte from Ten-Ten Liu. | :54:33. | :54:55. | |
Serving to no man's land. Put away with that backhand flick | :54:56. | :54:56. | |
again by Pitchford, so dangerous. Just caught the top of the net. The | :54:57. | :55:09. | |
players are entitled to towel down every six points. | :55:10. | :55:49. | |
Justice Leitch -- just the slight edge here for Pitchford and Ho. | :55:50. | :55:59. | |
Both of the New Zealanders are very highly ranked. Liu Ten-Ten 245, | :56:00. | :56:29. | |
Karen Li 283 in the world. This was their going to be a cakewalk. -- | :56:30. | :56:32. | |
this was never going to be. She has got in with that serve a | :56:33. | :56:37. | |
couple of times, Tin-Tin Ho. She has a brother called Ping. | :56:38. | :56:55. | |
is called Tin-Tin because of table tennis, her dad is table tennis mad. | :56:56. | :57:12. | |
Well, really good teamwork that from the English pair. A critical | :57:13. | :57:19. | |
in this game. They certainly have the New Zealanders moving around. | :57:20. | :57:23. | |
The footwork is the New Zealanders moving around. | :57:24. | :57:27. | |
doubles, get out the way of your partner. | :57:28. | :57:29. | |
There is another point for Pitchford and Ho. | :57:30. | :57:56. | |
I hint of recovery here from the Kiwis. Back on level terms at it-8. | :57:57. | :58:05. | |
-- 8-8. That was a shot. There was a space | :58:06. | :58:28. | |
to play it, she picked it wide. The recovery shows every sign of growing | :58:29. | :58:31. | |
your for New Zealand. Just edging in front in this second game. | :58:32. | :58:37. | |
You can see it was a big gap to land that backhand. 9-8. | :58:38. | :58:45. | |
Massive points at 9-9 in this second game. | :58:46. | :59:21. | |
Tyrone even give himself a chance of returning it. | :59:22. | :59:22. | |
Game .4 for a 2-0 lead. -- game returning it. | :59:23. | :59:41. | |
lead before Tin-Tin Ho and Liam Pitchford. | :59:42. | :00:18. | |
range. Need to stay in the game, otherwise it will be curtains. She | :00:19. | :00:30. | |
is into the third round of the women's singles, she beat the | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
Malaysian yesterday. What a great start to this third game for the | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
English pair. New Zealand have taken a time out. It is not surprising. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
There is no real understanding between the two New Zealanders, is | :00:50. | :01:40. | |
there? One of the rules is that the ball comes back from where it games | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
to allow the players to get across. He hasn't missed too many so far | :01:47. | :02:05. | |
this morning. We mentioned his backhand but his forehand is pretty | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
useful as well. Look at this. There is no chance for Liu Tengteng to get | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
across. That was well gambled. He saw the dummy that Liam Pitchford | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
was going to sell him. He gambled and made it. They have to gamble | :02:25. | :02:25. | |
now. Some distance between them again. | :02:26. | :03:19. | |
7-4. I think some observers expected New Zealand to give the English pair | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
a real work out today. Possibly even beat them. It has not turned out | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
that way so far. They are just a few points away from the match here. You | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
cannot play it short to the backhand of Pitchford and expect to get away | :03:41. | :04:03. | |
with it. Karen Li, you feel, as to hold both of these Serbs. So, five | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
match points for Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho. -- both of these | :04:15. | :04:35. | |
services. Four match points left. The next two are on the Pitchford | :04:36. | :04:52. | |
server. Sometimes getting over the line is the hardest part. Three | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
saved by the Kiwis. I think Alan Cooke may well take a time out here. | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Didn't like that run of three successive points by New Zealand. | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
Decides to have a chat with Liam and Tin-Tin Ho. It is a good return from | :05:16. | :05:36. | |
Liu Tengteng. Straight away, the time-out signalled by the English | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
coach. That was interesting. Don't expect them to give you the point, | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
he said. I could hear him quite quickly. Service Pack with New | :05:54. | :06:07. | |
Zealand. Liu Tengteng to Tin-Tin Ho. That is a great performance! In | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
straight games Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho are through to the | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
quarterfinals of the Mixed Doubles. They have beaten Liu Tengteng and | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
Karen Li quite comprehensively. Just a bit of a stumble in the last game. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
The smile from the 15-year-old tells you the story. | :06:30. | :06:42. | |
Great scenes at the table tennis. We have braved the outdoor weather but | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
it is not being so kind to us. Let's hand you over to the news. | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
And it's about time that I did something about that. | :06:58. | :07:09. | |

Yeah, I am looking for a Prince Charming. | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't think I'm, like, really pretty. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
I say, "You've got something on your bum." "Really?" And I say, | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
result for Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho. Tin-Tin Ho was named by | :08:40. | :09:18. | |
her father because he was keen to get the initials of table tennis | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
into her name. In the women's doubles, the Northern Ireland parent | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
of Hannah Lynch Dawson and Emma Ludlow have been taking on Pakistan. | :09:30. | :09:45. | |
Let's take a look. The Pakistan pairing serving first. It is | :09:46. | :09:57. | |
normally one of Emma Ludlow's favourite shorts. This is the second | :09:58. | :10:33. | |
normally one of Emma Ludlow's different competitions. Ah, yes. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
normally one of Emma Ludlow's Very straightforward. It was a good | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
served by Lynch-Dawson. The three points that the Pakistan | :10:40. | :11:11. | |
pairing have one so far have all been errors from the Northern Irish | :11:12. | :11:25. | |
duo. They will take them. This time it was Lynch-Dawson landing a | :11:26. | :11:45. | |
forehand killer blow. A shake of the head from the 16-year-old. She | :11:46. | :12:24. | |
hasn't quite settled yet. Emma Ludlow did very well to react to the | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
net cord. Enough time to rock back and make the forehand a winning one. | :12:30. | :12:41. | |
Tighter than many expected. 6-6. Sheikh Abeera to serve. | :12:42. | :13:11. | |
So the Pakistan pair have sneaked in front here. The applause coming from | :13:12. | :13:36. | |
the other table. Best rally of the match. Sheikh Abeera just missed. | :13:37. | :13:49. | |
You can see the frustration. Twirling her but in the air. Now, | :13:50. | :14:05. | |
Lynch-Dawson makes the error. That was an open invitation that was | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
never going to be refused. The smash from Emma Ludlow gives the Northern | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
Irish pair game point. A slightly fortunate way to win it but they do | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
by 11-9. They had a few scares along the way. Plenty of errors from both | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
teams. In the end, Lynch-Dawson and Ludlow are one game to the good. A | :14:33. | :15:18. | |
good start for the Pakistan pair. In the second game, three points to the | :15:19. | :15:19. | |
good. That was a giveaway off the serve. | :15:20. | :15:35. | |
Will that give the Irish girls lift? Point goes to Pakistan because the | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
serve was not in the opposite quarter. Well, that will make | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
Lynch-Dawson feel a lot better. The first really positive blow that she | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
has landed. Just to remind you, you have to serve to the opposite | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
quarter. Otherwise your opponent will get a point. You also have to | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
hit the ball alternately. Just did not quite get that topspin forehand | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
right. Oh, they have done really well | :16:06. | :16:53. | |
there, the Pakistan pair. The comeback could be on here. | :16:54. | :17:26. | |
Ludlow serving. Much better forehand from Lynch-Dawson. | :17:27. | :18:00. | |
Well, that was almost too easy, wasn't it?! Rossi hitting the | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
forehand. Well, it is close again now. Ludlow | :18:09. | :18:25. | |
forcing the error. And they are on terms, fixed to another beauty from | :18:26. | :18:37. | |
Ludlow. And from a mile behind, they You | :18:38. | :20:48. | |
would get four runs for that in cricket usually. It is tight again | :20:49. | :21:23. | |
in Game three. Just occasionally she has shown a glimpse of great | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
technique. A very nervy start. A whipped forehand straight back from | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
where it came. That was pretty useful from Ludlow as well. | :21:41. | :22:09. | |
where it came. That was pretty meant that. Absolutely drilled it. | :22:10. | :22:24. | |
Write down the middle. Very hard. That is a total giveaway. They just | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
seem to be losing a little bit of heart here. That was a much better | :22:29. | :23:00. | |
return. Too many errors from Babar Farwa and Sheikh Abeera. Those for | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
the glory shot and cannot land it. Still a bit of work to do. Babar | :23:08. | :23:19. | |
Farwa serving to Lynch-Dawson. Knocked off her feet, Babar Farwa. | :23:20. | :23:31. | |
Three match points before the pair from Northern Ireland. Did really | :23:32. | :23:40. | |
well to stay in that. Keeping their hopes alive of what would be a | :23:41. | :23:57. | |
dramatic comeback. Still two match points. And that is indeed the end | :23:58. | :24:07. | |
of it. 11-8 in the third game. In less than 20 minutes, Hammer Lynch | :24:08. | :24:19. | |
Dawson and Emma Ludlow have defeated Babar Farwa and Sheikh Abeera in | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
straight games. -- Hannah Lynch Dawson. A good win for the | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
16-year-old and the 18-year-old. Valuable experience and they will | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
get at least one more round. They are through. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
Well done to the girls from Northern Ireland. Earlier on, there was a big | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
bronze medal match in the balls. We can see Kelvingrove there through a | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
haze of rain. We join it in the final end with the score 12-12. He | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
has tried to reach up through the middle for the Jack. And he has done | :25:11. | :25:33. | |
it! He got to edges, to be fair. Without the edge, he had the jack | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
and that would have been a whole lot different. Really good sportsmanship | :25:38. | :25:51. | |
out there. But to be fair, missing that bowl, the jack was in the | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
ditch. At least the game is still alive for England. Another one up | :25:58. | :26:11. | |
there in behind would be a very good position. Very handy indeed. That is | :26:12. | :26:37. | |
a good effort. Anything back there is useful. We all know that Paul is | :26:38. | :26:50. | |
a very good player. Kevin Wallace might think it is time to protect | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
this. Anything up to the jack or just short of it would be good. | :26:59. | :27:22. | |
It will be a little short. Really not in the line. It won't affect the | :27:23. | :27:36. | |
next short. Weight would have been the issue for him. He really wanted | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
to leave it in line. It is very much an open jack for Paul Brown. Looking | :27:45. | :28:00. | |
for the jack in the ditch. More than competent at this shot. We have seen | :28:01. | :28:13. | |
it before. So, they are looking at it. He is close. Has he got the | :28:14. | :28:27. | |
jack? He has. There is another bowl lurking around. We will have to find | :28:28. | :28:37. | |
out. Played perfectly. Getting that jack back into the ditch. More | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
importantly, he pushed the red fish through. Without pushing that | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
through, it could have been against him. So, one bowl to save the match. | :28:48. | :29:12. | |
Just dropped in. Scotland just fail with their last delivery. What a | :29:13. | :29:26. | |
fantastic game. Time for some more live sport. We are going to head to | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
Scotstoun for some squash. The men's doubles, Scotland taking on India. | :29:34. | :29:40. | |
Your commentary comes from Sue Rose and Martin Heath. COMMENTATOR: | :29:41. | :30:01. | |
Crawford and Lobban won all their heats through to this round. It was | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
the attacking player of Lobban who got them through. Harinder Pal | :30:07. | :30:46. | |
Sandhu from Chandigarh in India. It is doubles, there are differences. | :30:47. | :30:52. | |
We see Saurav Ghosal on the right-hand side of your screen. He | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
had an incredibly good singles event reaching the semifinals. Just | :30:58. | :31:08. | |
missing out losing to Peter Barber in the bronze medal match. There we | :31:09. | :31:15. | |
can see their route through to this stage. They finished second in their | :31:16. | :31:25. | |
group. That is the way that the pool matches are decided. First in one of | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
the pools plays the second in their neighbouring pool. This is one of | :31:32. | :31:49. | |
the toughest matches. The Indian team are seeded seven, the Indian | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
team seeded eighth. The Scottish team certainly had an easier route | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
through. Really nothing to choose team certainly had an easier route | :31:57. | :32:53. | |
between these two teams. We team certainly had an easier route | :32:54. | :33:00. | |
different game from singles which is much more measured, | :33:01. | :33:04. | |
different game from singles which is your length at the back of the | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
court. In doubles, the players push forward trying to attack the ball as | :33:08. | :33:13. | |
much as possible. Most of the players like to use pace, a lot of | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
cross courts. Not much straight up and down the wall. Lots of fun to | :33:20. | :33:27. | |
watch and play. Reactions quashed. -- reaction squash. A nice crowd for | :33:28. | :33:50. | |
the knockout stages today. 16 in the men's event. Also 16 left in the | :33:51. | :34:13. | |
mixed doubles event. The Indians coming in. Glasgow Commonwealth | :34:14. | :34:28. | |
Games 2014. Men's doubles. India to serve. Stuart Crawford to receive. | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
The best of three games. You do not have to stay on your own | :34:33. | :35:22. | |
site, you will see a lot of crossing over. We saw a lot of that in the | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
mixed doubles, and I am sure you will see it in this match as well. | :35:27. | :36:28. | |
Nice crosscourt from Greg Lobban. And there we see the communication, | :36:29. | :36:37. | |
which is incredibly important. You cannot rely on your opponent, you | :36:38. | :36:39. | |
have to communicate. Sandhu just calling his ball down. | :36:40. | :37:11. | |
Scotland are off to a flyer. A fairly conventional play to start | :37:12. | :38:02. | |
off with, playing it a little bit like a large game of singles, trying | :38:03. | :38:06. | |
to find out line and length at the back of the court, not giving your | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
opponent is any opportunities at the front. I am sure that will not | :38:10. | :38:28. | |
continue for too long. That is nice play from Ghosal. The drop shot, | :38:29. | :38:36. | |
followed by the volley drop. First point on the board for them. | :38:37. | :38:48. | |
That is a key shot in doubles, just finding that space, especially if | :38:49. | :38:55. | |
your partner can block out your opponent on the other side, and you | :38:56. | :39:00. | |
can play that short angled just and again, the obstruction. | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
UMPIRE: No let. UMPIRE: No let. Sandhu, managing to | :39:04. | :39:10. | |
find his spaces and then execute. And we have seen this quite a lot in | :39:11. | :39:51. | |
the doubles. Maybe ordinarily in singles, that would be a let, but | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
there is a great emphasis for the retrieving player to go and get the | :39:57. | :39:57. | |
ball in doubles. As I was saying, around the middle, | :39:58. | :40:20. | |
if there are refereeing decisions, ordinarily, if you hit the ball back | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
to yourself, it would be a stroke in singles, but in doubles, they tend | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
to want to try to keep the ball going, on the understanding that | :40:32. | :40:34. | |
there are going to be a lot of traffic Robbins, and they want to | :40:35. | :40:39. | |
give the players every opportunity to be creative, to play down the | :40:40. | :40:53. | |
middle. REFEREE: Yes, let. | :40:54. | :41:41. | |
A nice reaction folly from Lobban. A very dangerous player when he gets | :41:42. | :41:52. | |
an open ball like that on the crosscourt. Saurav was trying to | :41:53. | :42:03. | |
keep it tight to the wall. He has been an incredibly dangerous player | :42:04. | :42:09. | |
in the last couple of days. We have seen him playing in the doubles. And | :42:10. | :42:17. | |
if the ball is tight like that, there is not a lot Lobban can do. | :42:18. | :42:55. | |
Again, the Indian team calling their ball down. Very honest. That was a | :42:56. | :43:02. | |
Again, the Indian team calling their nice rally. That was a little | :43:03. | :43:05. | |
Again, the Indian team calling their more like the normal doubles rallies | :43:06. | :43:06. | |
we have seen, a lot of play around the front court, picking on one | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
corner sometimes, picking on one player. And it is the Scots who come | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
through. middle. Creating some confusion. | :43:16. | :44:11. | |
That is definitely part of this game. We saw both Scots boys running | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
into the middle at the front, at the start of that rally. | :44:16. | :44:22. | |
REFEREE: Yes, let. There again, we see Ghosal trying to | :44:23. | :45:24. | |
keep Lobban nice and tight to the wall, really limiting his | :45:25. | :45:27. | |
opportunities. More like singles play. | :45:28. | :45:49. | |
Oh, a nice angle from Sandhu. He realised both Scottish players were | :45:50. | :46:00. | |
covering the back corner. He saw the space and hit into it. Great vision | :46:01. | :46:06. | |
for the game. Beautiful shot. But still three points in arrears. | :46:07. | :46:34. | |
REFEREE: Yes, let. You do see this in doubles play. It is not so much | :46:35. | :46:46. | |
about playing the court, playing the dimensions, it is more about playing | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
your opponents, hitting into the space, trying to confuse them, | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
hitting into their feet if possible. It is really quite a different skill | :46:57. | :46:57. | |
set. Interesting play. Lobban did a 360! | :46:58. | :47:35. | |
Is that not dangerous play? Mr Lobban, please be careful. No, the | :47:36. | :47:43. | |
next time I will just hit him. COMMENTATOR: Well, Ghosal appealing | :47:44. | :47:50. | |
to the referee, saying, hang on, that was dangerous, you are meant to | :47:51. | :47:54. | |
stop and play the let in that situation. These guys are wearing | :47:55. | :48:05. | |
those guards. On their eyes. Lobban finds a spot, and the ball dies. | :48:06. | :48:13. | |
Again, if you can create some confusion, you can quite often run | :48:14. | :48:19. | |
away with the points. So, Lobban would argue that that was not | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
dangerous play, he knew exactly where everyone was. | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
REFEREE: Yes, let. Maybe a product the previous rally, | :48:28. | :48:45. | |
but the Scottish boys move to game ball. | :48:46. | :48:59. | |
And there we see an ace. And the Scottish team take the first game. | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
It seemed a bit closer than the scoreline suggests. The Scottish | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
team were not favourites to go through here, seeded eighth, whereas | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
the Indian team are seeded seventh. So they certainly cannot relax. | :49:15. | :49:33. | |
You have just got to be careful, when he is edging across, you have | :49:34. | :49:42. | |
got to make sure Harinder Pal Sandhu has not got the angle. | :49:43. | :49:51. | |
Well, it is difficult to hear everything that the Scottish | :49:52. | :49:54. | |
national coach was saying. But one thing I did pick up was, do not give | :49:55. | :50:01. | |
Harinder Pal Sandhu the angle, on the forehand side, to hit that kind | :50:02. | :50:04. | |
of shot across the court, dying into the side wall. | :50:05. | :50:13. | |
Nice play from the Scottish team. As we can see, Crawford tends to be the | :50:14. | :50:21. | |
steady player. He can hit winners, obviously, Greg Lobban, in gradually | :50:22. | :50:27. | |
dangerous, can hit winners from anywhere. And there we see the | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
confusion, Sandhu again finding that spot. The Scottish team have to | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
watch out not to give Sandhu any shots in that area. | :50:37. | :51:06. | |
So, the Scottish team, gearing up, with their rackets and there goes | :51:07. | :51:12. | |
guards. again, and it is the Scottish team | :51:13. | :51:56. | |
serving. Again, we | :51:57. | :52:34. | |
playing the court, but playing the space. | :52:35. | :53:10. | |
Nice rally for the Indians, really standing very far up the court, | :53:11. | :53:18. | |
especially Sandhu, that is obviously his role, to cover the front court. | :53:19. | :53:43. | |
REFEREE: Yes, let. There was enough interference there, he was going to | :53:44. | :54:05. | |
get that ball. Who? Sandhu. Greg Lobban just querying that one. Well, | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
it was a nice shot, but Sandhu was blocked by Crawford, certainly could | :54:11. | :54:13. | |
not play that shot. Have to play a let, play it again. | :54:14. | :55:25. | |
Not much to choose between these two teams. But it is the Indians that | :55:26. | :55:34. | |
have got a 5-1 lead in this second game. | :55:35. | :55:55. | |
Well, interesting decision from the Scottish team to change roles. Greg | :55:56. | :56:03. | |
Lobban on that last rally was on the forehand side, Crawford on the | :56:04. | :56:10. | |
left-hand side. This was not just a recovery position, they obviously | :56:11. | :56:14. | |
just decided to change it up. Just to keep their opponents guessing. | :56:15. | :56:25. | |
And you can see that they are keeping that formation for now. It | :56:26. | :56:29. | |
seems as though Ghosal on the left side was doing a great job of | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
keeping it nice and tight to the wall, with Lobban, who has been an | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
amazing attacking player over the last couple of days, punishing any | :56:39. | :56:48. | |
loose shot. He has been getting a lot of points on the board. | :56:49. | :57:34. | |
Nice recovery! A little bit lucky from Sandhu, but what a great | :57:35. | :57:40. | |
recovery from between his legs! Very important to have fast hands, | :57:41. | :57:47. | |
the reactions. Both Scottish players standing right | :57:48. | :58:53. | |
up in the court. The Indian team did very well to retrieve. | :58:54. | :59:48. | |
Sandhu. Beautiful punched length from Sandhu. It was an important | :59:49. | :59:57. | |
shot from the Indian team to stop the Scots from getting a run of | :59:58. | :00:03. | |
points, gathering momentum. Because the rallies are relatively quicker | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
than singles, momentum does play a part in doubles. | :00:08. | :00:25. | |
Well, we saw that from Stuart Crawford yesterday. He is very | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
consistent in hitting the spot right into his opponent's feet. He got the | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
winner that time. If he doesn't, Sandhu is popping it back and | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
providing an opportunity for his party. The Scottish team go back to | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
5-8. Well, again it is Crawford finding | :00:48. | :01:34. | |
the space. Great hands from Sandhu. Not sure how to describe that shot. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Through those legs and then a backwards flip. Nice defence. | :01:39. | :02:02. | |
Again, we see this change in momentum. The Scottish boys, if they | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
can get away with a 2-0 victory, they would be very happy. Anything | :02:11. | :03:08. | |
can happen in the third. Nice rally. Greg Lobban was active there. But it | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
was Harinder Pal Sandhu who found his spot on that drop shot. He takes | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
the position and then hits that before it hits the side wall. The | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
ball shooting through to the back of the point. It takes the Indians | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
to-7. Unfortunate from Crawford. He is so | :03:33. | :04:07. | |
good at finding his space. Just lunged forward looking for the | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
middle spot. Just back into himself. And it is a game ball to the | :04:14. | :04:36. | |
Indians. Lobban may be a little bit frustrated, deciding to take, shot. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Still two game balls to the Indian team. Well, it looked good | :04:43. | :05:31. | |
Still two game balls to the Indian Lobban. The Indian team level of the | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
scores. 1-1. Takes it into a deciding game. Doubles are just the | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
best of three. Let's hear what deciding game. Doubles are just the | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
major is going to say to his Indian deciding game. Doubles are just the | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
players. You have to anticipate the middle shot. You must anticipate. | :05:58. | :06:18. | |
COMMENTATOR: A little bit I could pick up was use the middle shot, it | :06:19. | :06:41. | |
is very effective but don't forget about your movement. Whether singles | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
or doubles, very important in squash. When you hit it down the | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
middle, move up and cover the front corners. Especially Greg Lobban is | :06:51. | :07:12. | |
very dangerous in those corners. Just as we expected between the | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
seventh and the eighth seeds. An incredible battle. We need to leave | :07:17. | :07:29. | |
the squash now but if you would like to continue to watch. It is very | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
simple, just press your red button. On BBC Three, it is time for diving. | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
We will be heading over for coverage of the preliminary round of the | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
women's ten metre dive. We are going to show some of the men's. The man | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
to watch out for is Jack Laugher. He is currently through two parts of a | :08:02. | :08:12. | |
Commonwealth Games hat-trick. I wonder what kind of night he had. He | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
probably got a fairly late night with interviews. He doesn't look | :08:24. | :08:36. | |
that tired, even if he is. A consummate professional. Only 19 | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
years of age but he has been around. He has major championships | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
under his belt. He is now Commonwealth champion on the one | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
metre. He will smash it today, and stand on the podium later. That is | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
the last time I am going to say that until he does. But he is our man. | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
That is the best that anyone has been by ten points. But it was a | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
high tariff dive. We are going to go to Oliver Denly. -- Dingley. Forward | :09:11. | :09:31. | |
to another half. That is going to get to 7.5. Because of the degree of | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
difficulty he is going to be close to the top of the leaderboard. Not | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
many of the divers are using a very high degree of difficulty to open | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
with. So they will be the top three. Not quite the eights he was hoping | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
for but not too far shy. First-round done. Who is not going to be coming | :10:00. | :10:10. | |
back? James Denny on the front page as well. Those people are well | :10:11. | :10:22. | |
clear. These are those ones who will make it through, as it stands. A | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
long way to go. Jack Laugher is the leader after round one after a huge | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
tariff dive. As this one is, a reversed 3.5 somersault with Tucker. | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
Don't use them up this morning. A huge tariff dive. All of them are. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
This young man is top three in the world. This is just a sign of what | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
is to come from this superstar in the making. Nearly 90 points in the | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
preliminary. If that was in the final, they would give him nine or | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
9.5. Why would they market differently? They want to give | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
someone a go. They are still half asleep. James Denny going for a | :11:14. | :11:27. | |
reverse 3.5 somersault. Just composing himself. Nice! Nice work | :11:28. | :11:40. | |
from James. Right on the end of the diving board, giving himself a | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
chance. Good take-off. Spotting the water three times. Good tuck as he | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
reaches backing. Over 70 points. Four out of four for James Denny. | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
Sevens across-the-board. He should be happy with that. Two more rounds | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
to go. James Heatly. You will hear that big roar every time he steps | :12:11. | :12:23. | |
up. A big tariff. 3.4. Forwards 2.5 somersault with 2.5 twists. A | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
complicated one for the Scotsman. That is his biggest and most | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
complicated dive and he does not disappoint. He delivers for five out | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
of five. He must be absolutely loving it. So he should be. He is | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
going to cruise into the final. Cruising in! Nice! A big wave, a big | :12:51. | :13:03. | |
smile. Getting ready for the final. All three Englishmen and the | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
smile. Getting ready for the final. All three Englishmen and Scotsman | :13:06. | :13:06. | |
are through to the final later today. Jack Laugher at the top of | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
the shop, leading by almost 50 points. | :13:13. | :13:35. | |
It means we lose two Australians, one New Zealander and both of the | :13:36. | :13:50. | |
Indians have gone. Well, the women's ten metre platform event has just | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
started. Let's join Bob Ballard and Leon Taylor. A total of 72 for | :13:57. | :14:21. | |
Meaghan Benfeito. One of the young Malaysian 's. Hoong with a forward | :14:22. | :14:36. | |
3.5. It was a very good entry but she over rotated. Somehow managed to | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
keep the splashdown. It could be a mixed bag from the judges. | :14:44. | :15:31. | |
LEON TAYLOR: Was under pressure yesterday in the synchro, not quite | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
able to deliver what they were looking for yesterday. But having a | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
chance again here in the individual. Getting through, not | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
doing anything too crazy, and certainly hits the mark in round | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
one, dive one. Yes, not attempting to much in these early stages. The | :15:58. | :16:15. | |
Canadian diver, who sounds like a question, up next. | :16:16. | :16:43. | |
The degree of difficulty takes into account that this was a much more | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
difficult dive to execute. Slightly rolling over, back towards the | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
diving board. So probably, at the bottom of the leaderboard, rather | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
than the top. Exactly right. Carol-Ann Ware, 52.8. Great | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
variation in the marks from the judges. Now, anybody who has watched | :17:10. | :17:20. | |
diving coverage with me on the BBC over the last decade will | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
diving coverage with me on the BBC not like an stance. There is always | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
the concerned that she is going to slip off the board. But they are | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
seasoned slip off the board. But they are | :17:33. | :17:32. | |
like an jake stands. Nice opening dive from Sarah. | :17:33. | :18:02. | |
control. As nervous as you might be, opening up your campaign, when | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
balancing from a handstand on the edge of a ten metre board. And that | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
is just the easy bit. You then need to flick off, one and a half twists, | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
double somersault, entry into the water. And Sarah Barrow goes into | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
third place with that. One of the youngest competitors in | :18:21. | :18:37. | |
the competition, Victoria Vincent. Oh, what a marvellous opening round | :18:38. | :18:57. | |
dive from Victoria Vincent, from Team England, just 13 years of age. | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
Tiny. She dives in Plymouth, under the watchful eye of Andy Banks. What | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
a beautiful dive. You can see why this young girl won the British | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
Championships. Tonya and Sarah were not there, of course. | :19:16. | :19:29. | |
VV, more like a VW there, the way she went into the water. Motoring in | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
for a good score. A little bit off from Melissa Wu | :19:34. | :19:46. | |
there, as she entered the water. Causing a little bit of splash. She | :19:47. | :20:04. | |
is an experienced diver, multiple medallist at the Commonwealth Games. | :20:05. | :20:21. | |
A big roar for the third of the English divers, Tonia Couch. Back to | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
and have some assaults, one and a half twists. She is going for a 3.2 | :20:29. | :20:48. | |
as an opener. What a dive! Now, that will put her top of the leaderboard. | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
as an opener. What a dive! Now, that Interesting tactics. Tonia Couch, | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
top of the leaderboard. That camera giving us a great view | :20:53. | :21:06. | |
of the complexity of the dive. The Malaysian diver, Olympic | :21:07. | :21:32. | |
medallist in this event. But that is not particularly sharp. Of course, | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
it is the preliminaries, so the scores do not carry. She has got a | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
strap on her ankle, which is quite usual for her. She was just unable | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
to straighten out completely before she entered the water. The judges | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
marks will reflect that. This is the lowest tariff dive that | :21:52. | :22:06. | |
we have seen so far. Unusual to see a degree of | :22:07. | :22:43. | |
difficulty like that. But this is one of the newest and youngest | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
divers on the Malaysian team. So she, like Victoria Vincent, is | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
building her list. So, knock so complex to start with. | :22:55. | :24:05. | |
On to round two, and the first of the three Australians to go. | :24:06. | :24:15. | |
Bringing the degree of difficulty up to the 3.2 region. And she will try | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
to execute the best of her ability in round two. | :24:22. | :24:39. | |
Well, Lara Tarvit is on fire. A good, solid dive to back up her | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
first-round dive, which opened the competition. Two of the Australian | :24:47. | :24:57. | |
men got eliminated, but Lara is making sure, and definitely throwing | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
her hat into the ring on this one. She has backed up her opening round | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
dive. Nice and consistent. Not too far wrong. And she is at the top of | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
the order now. Next, the Canadian, ranked sixth | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
after the first round. Just going not show up on the degree | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
of difficulty. Oh, that is a big dive. 3.3 degrees | :25:28. | :25:40. | |
of difficulty. The backward three and a half is tricky. You can only | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
see where you have been, you cannot see where you are going. She does a | :25:46. | :25:54. | |
good job, does not go away over. Sevens I think coming her way. A | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
good second round dive. But was the Canadian number one. | :25:58. | :26:19. | |
Now, the Canadian number two, Meaghan Benfeito. | :26:20. | :26:43. | |
Well, she was having a good think about that, and I am not surprised. | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
It is scary up on the 10m diving board. She is balanced backwards on | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
her tip toes. Obviously you need to be a safe distance, but if you move | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
too far away... I love this shot, the drop-down camera, showing you | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
exactly what happens. Imagine trying to do that in real-time. | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
Certainly very much in contention for a latter start in the final, at | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
this stage anyway. 2.9 degrees of difficulty for the | :27:20. | :27:35. | |
Malaysian athlete. Oh, this is a beautiful dive when it goes well. | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
Just allowing the dive to get away from her little bit. Beautiful pike | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
shape. Looks OK until here. Then she just tips over. Many tidal wave. | :27:45. | :27:55. | |
Watching you and been, who was working for the host broadcaster, | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
doing exactly the same thing at the same time. Synchronised indications | :28:02. | :28:09. | |
- very good! Rachel Bugg, the Australian. So, we are not going to | :28:10. | :28:17. | |
lose anybody this morning. All 12 will go through. | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
Rachel Bugg, currently in fifth place. Oh, this is her bogey dive. | :28:23. | :28:38. | |
She made an error on this in the synchro yesterday, which was | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
costly, next to Melissa Wu. It is almost like the trap door opens up | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
and she falls through it, and then tries to | :28:48. | :28:48. | |
and she falls through it, and then to do a could not keep up with her. | :28:49. | :28:57. | |
Well, she is watching it back on the big screen, and she will not be | :28:58. | :29:07. | |
happy with that. 3.5s will not get the job done. But it does not | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
matter. Get the bugs out of the system. | :29:13. | :29:23. | |
Carol-Ann Ware, for Canada. She has got a 2.9, so, coming down in | :29:24. | :29:33. | |
tariff. Again, a similar mistake to the Malaysian. The dive just gets | :29:34. | :29:44. | |
away from her. She gets away a bit too much from the board, meaning it | :29:45. | :29:51. | |
is difficult to control. So the dive does not want to stop and it wants | :29:52. | :30:01. | |
to keep on spinning. A real mixed bag for Carol-Ann Ware. Sarah | :30:02. | :30:10. | |
Barrow, in fourth place after round one. | :30:11. | :30:18. | |
This is a 3.2 difficulty. Sarah, one of three English divers in here. | :30:19. | :30:59. | |
she doesn't come out with confidence from the exit to the dive. Two bites | :31:00. | :31:12. | |
of the cherry. 2.5 from one judge, 5.5 from another. Discuss. Well, I | :31:13. | :31:19. | |
won't. You know how I feel about that. Victoria Vincent. DV to her | :31:20. | :31:33. | |
friends, who include Leon Taylor as her mentor. | :31:34. | :31:45. | |
Same kind of error. Just falling foul playing it safe. A good | :31:46. | :31:59. | |
take-off. Just letting go a little bit too late. Rolling over the | :32:00. | :32:06. | |
vertical, which is a shame but it is the challenge of these particular | :32:07. | :32:12. | |
dives. A long way to go for this young lady in her particular career. | :32:13. | :32:20. | |
Without any comment from me. 4.5 up to 6.5. That is why we have the | :32:21. | :32:34. | |
three average cause. -- scores. It is arms down time. A free position. | :32:35. | :32:48. | |
You do not hold the shape for more than half a somersault. It is a | :32:49. | :32:59. | |
category in its own right. Double somersault is 1.5 twists off your | :33:00. | :33:10. | |
hands. 1.5 seconds to get it done. Didn't quite shake the room but 6.5 | :33:11. | :33:28. | |
will do for her. This is our leader. She is the best at the moment. | :33:29. | :33:35. | |
Always looks so focused. Looks pretty concentrated on what she has | :33:36. | :33:53. | |
to do. 3.2 for her. What a dive! Get in! Unlike her team-mate and | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
synchronised dive partner who was confident, she has absolutely | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
smashed it. Look at this entry into the water. Now you see me, now you | :34:05. | :34:13. | |
don't. Eight and 8.5 in coming. Recent fabulous performance of | :34:14. | :34:16. | |
fourth in the World Cup in China is absolutely on fire. A member of the | :34:17. | :34:28. | |
Edinburgh Fire Brigade. She might need to be extinguished, in the | :34:29. | :34:37. | |
nicest possible way! She likes to get on with things. Doesn't hang | :34:38. | :34:43. | |
around for long. She has got it right. She is the only one with a | :34:44. | :34:55. | |
handle on it. A good take-off. She lets go of the shape of very early. | :34:56. | :35:02. | |
She needs to. It will be eights across-the-board, or there about. It | :35:03. | :35:08. | |
needs to be good for the execution. I am glad that you are confident | :35:09. | :35:14. | |
with the judges, because I am not. That takes her up into fifth place | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
at the moment. Three more rounds to go. For latecomers, I hope you have | :35:19. | :35:27. | |
brought a note. Everybody does go through to the final. She has a | :35:28. | :35:37. | |
forward 3.5. Alas Diver of round number two. Very tidy. Started with | :35:38. | :35:49. | |
a very easy dive. This is one her more difficult ones. Good work. | :35:50. | :36:00. | |
Making easy work of that five. Grabbing the hands. Punching and | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
entry into the water. No splash. Well done. The way things are going, | :36:05. | :36:14. | |
she will have a late start in the final tonight. Tonia Couch the best | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
of the bunch. Just a chance to get the cobwebs out | :36:18. | :36:51. | |
of the system as they prepare for the final tonight. Everybody will | :36:52. | :36:58. | |
return. Just about to start round three. The Edinburgh venue is | :36:59. | :37:11. | |
filling up. It will be absolutely packed on Friday and Saturday, | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
definitely for the arrival of Tom Daley. We are watching the ten metre | :37:15. | :37:26. | |
women's competition. She is second at the moment but 2.9 will not help | :37:27. | :37:40. | |
her cause in staying there. Well, that is a blown dive. Bit of an | :37:41. | :37:49. | |
understatement. Two fantastic dives from her and then letting go of her | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
shape to early virtually killing her rotation and causing that tidal | :37:56. | :38:00. | |
wave. Look at this. That hurts, as well. The amount of splash indicates | :38:01. | :38:07. | |
that will have hurt the back and shoulders quite badly. She will have | :38:08. | :38:12. | |
got a slap on her lower back and shoulders. You can see her holding | :38:13. | :38:17. | |
back the tears. I hope she is OK to continue. That is how dangerous it | :38:18. | :38:26. | |
is. Even on a 2.9 which is not the most complicated dive. It doesn't | :38:27. | :38:37. | |
tickle. Forward 3.5 four Roseline Filion on. No mistakes from Roseline | :38:38. | :38:57. | |
Filion. You can see that the pike shape is more like a puck shape, a | :38:58. | :39:08. | |
combination of pike and tuck. We have discussed this before. It would | :39:09. | :39:17. | |
delay the competition but it would be nice if the judges could look at | :39:18. | :39:26. | |
a replay. You don't really care. It would just slow the competition down | :39:27. | :39:27. | |
a lot. But wouldn't it make sure that we got the right marking. | :39:28. | :39:37. | |
Meaghan Benfeito. that we got the right marking. | :39:38. | :39:45. | |
made. It just goes to show. that we got the right marking. | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
complex dive. One of that we got the right marking. | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
difficult in the world, certainly in the female competition. Really | :39:53. | :40:03. | |
feeling the effects. A big day yesterday. Crowned Commonwealth | :40:04. | :40:06. | |
champion alongside her team-mate. That hurts. What I doing? Get after | :40:07. | :40:20. | |
it. Put more effort in. Not what we expect of somebody of her stature. A | :40:21. | :40:30. | |
lot of people are finding this preliminary a tough ask. Lovely. A | :40:31. | :40:42. | |
classy dive. First rate indeed. Making a mistake on her previous | :40:43. | :40:48. | |
dive. Inward 3.5, very classy. Good lines. She could get eights. It | :40:49. | :41:02. | |
would get her 75 point. Eight precisely from all the judges that | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
count. All of the judges apart from one in accord on that one. Waiting | :41:08. | :41:18. | |
for the referee's whistle. She can now prepare herself for the armour | :41:19. | :41:27. | |
stand. Double somersault, 1.5 twist. 3.2, the degree of difficulty. She | :41:28. | :41:42. | |
has got to do some work. After her Miss app -- mishap on the inward | :41:43. | :41:53. | |
2.5. She does over rotate which will cost her. But a much better | :41:54. | :41:59. | |
third-round effort. She will feature higher up the leaderboard after her | :42:00. | :42:09. | |
second round dive. 6.5 and six will be added into the school. We are | :42:10. | :42:19. | |
getting an increment up on the degree of difficulty. This one is a | :42:20. | :42:25. | |
slightly different armour stand. Arm stand, back, triple somersault. | :42:26. | :42:31. | |
Tuck. All of the ingredients to bump it up to 3.3. It is just a case of | :42:32. | :42:44. | |
getting her programme underway. What happened there? Is that OK? It is a | :42:45. | :43:01. | |
restart. Doesn't hold the arm stand. You can see why I don't like that. | :43:02. | :43:08. | |
Obviously the tricep injury affected her, the restart will mean a two | :43:09. | :43:22. | |
point reduction from each judge. Look at the strapping. She is badly | :43:23. | :43:33. | |
injured but still competed. A 2-point deduction on all of the | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
judges which meant the dive was up there in the sevens. She will be | :43:38. | :43:45. | |
glad that the arm stand is done and dusted. Everybody has to do one. You | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
can do them of difference complex cities. -- complex | :43:51. | :44:11. | |
not all females have to do the arm stand. They do five different dyes | :44:12. | :44:18. | |
and there are six groups to choose from. Some girls elect to do the arm | :44:19. | :44:25. | |
stand but not all are brave enough. In the men's competition they do six | :44:26. | :44:31. | |
from six and it means that all men need to do an arm stand. The women | :44:32. | :44:37. | |
have the option to miss out their least favourite group of dives. Lots | :44:38. | :44:42. | |
of the ladies here today are using the arm stand but it is their | :44:43. | :44:52. | |
choice. Yes, I thought there was something wrong with that score. | :44:53. | :44:59. | |
That was not a 9.5 dive, was it? So, that has been altered, the score has | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
been adjusted. Now, Sarah Barrow can continue. This is a forward three | :45:05. | :45:11. | |
and a half some assaults. 3.0 degree of difficulty. Sarah, ninth place at | :45:12. | :45:17. | |
the moment. She will hope to work her way up to a later finish. That | :45:18. | :45:27. | |
is a good comeback from Sarah. A little bit tired out there this | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
morning, not surprisingly, after yesterday's excitement, silver | :45:32. | :45:35. | |
medallist, next to Tonia. Just throwing up a little bit of splash. | :45:36. | :45:41. | |
She will get it, but this is the preliminaries. | :45:42. | :46:03. | |
The 13-year-old on this forward two and a half some assaults, with one | :46:04. | :46:15. | |
twist. The future of English and British diving, right in your | :46:16. | :46:24. | |
picture now. LEON TAYLOR: Nice work, VV. She does | :46:25. | :46:29. | |
a good job. One twist, into the remainder of the two and a half some | :46:30. | :46:36. | |
assaults. Just a fraction over as she enters the water, and that is | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
because of the launch and the take-off. Just waiting for the | :46:41. | :46:46. | |
scoreboard. Taking it all in her stride. 13 years old. Conducting | :46:47. | :46:57. | |
herself in a very professional way. Getting the feedback from Andy. Just | :46:58. | :47:04. | |
saying, little bit soft in your lower back as you went in. Just | :47:05. | :47:13. | |
guessing! It is a caption competition! There is no pressure on | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
any of these girls this morning, because they are all through to this | :47:19. | :47:24. | |
evening's final. This is getting used to the crowd and the | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
atmosphere. That is all right, that is solid enough. Qualification | :47:31. | :47:36. | |
already assured for the final. Melissa Wu, inward three and a half | :47:37. | :47:47. | |
some assaults, with tuck. 3.2 difficulty, for the Australian. | :47:48. | :47:57. | |
When we get to the end of round five, we will know where they are | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
going to start in tonight's final. Oh, nice dive from Melissa. That is | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
what we have come to expect. She has been on the diving seen for ages. | :48:09. | :48:24. | |
Very technically efficient. She will get eight on that, I am sure. | :48:25. | :48:38. | |
Tonia Couch will be hoping to hold onto first place. | :48:39. | :48:50. | |
Three out of three four Tonia. -- for Tonia. Squeezing into that pike | :48:51. | :49:05. | |
shape. Needs to be a little bit tighter in a little bit short of | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
vertical as she goes in, but it is a solid dive. She will still be on top | :49:11. | :49:16. | |
of the leaderboard. Yes, she has given herself a 14 point margin over | :49:17. | :49:25. | |
the next best. Some finer points to be worked on by her and her coach, | :49:26. | :49:35. | |
Andy. Pandelela of Malaysia, and here comes her arm stand. | :49:36. | :49:58. | |
Nice work from the Olympic medallist from Malaysia, Pandelela. | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
All-important control, up into the arm stand. Bending the knees, | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
flicking the lakes to the rotation. Really smooth. She will be up there | :50:10. | :50:18. | |
next to Tonia, or in that half of the leaderboard, for sure. | :50:19. | :50:43. | |
Back three and a half some for Loh Zhiayi, of Malaysia. What is | :50:44. | :51:21. | |
happening here, Leon? She obviously dropped her chamois. | :51:22. | :51:25. | |
happening here, Leon? She obviously quite dry enough. She needs to be | :51:26. | :51:30. | |
able to hold her shins. If her shins are not dry enough, and her hands | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
slip, then the dive will go out of control. | :51:35. | :51:46. | |
Oh, she just landed right on her back. Oh, I goodness! Now, that | :51:47. | :51:55. | |
really, really hurts. Here we go, just let's go to early. Oh I cannot | :51:56. | :52:05. | |
describe to you what that is like. It is like jumping off the roof of a | :52:06. | :52:11. | |
building and landing on the tarmac. She is obviously tougher than I am. | :52:12. | :52:18. | |
Well, she is saying she is all right, but it may take a little | :52:19. | :52:23. | |
while for that to take effect. She had that water with a thud. We are | :52:24. | :52:27. | |
talking about 30 miles an hour, and she went into the water on her back. | :52:28. | :52:36. | |
And these marks will not give any cause for excitement, either. | :52:37. | :52:46. | |
The marks do not matter, it is the long-term damage she might have done | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
for tonight, which is more concerning. Moving on to round | :52:52. | :53:00. | |
three. Lara Tarvit. This is the arm stand that you will have seen a few | :53:01. | :53:08. | |
times already. It is a back double somersault, one and a half twists. | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
3.2, the degree of difficulty. Lara, in seventh. | :53:15. | :53:22. | |
Wow, she did not get much of a lift off the diving board on her take-off | :53:23. | :53:29. | |
there. She seemed to just fall through the diving board. Yes, an | :53:30. | :53:36. | |
unusual technique, this was her fourth round dive. It is better than | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
the last one, although not as good as the opening two, which were | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
really strong. Unusual technique, gets away with it. I was going to | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
ask, was she actually under control there? Not really. But she gets the | :53:52. | :54:02. | |
marks, anyway. She did not get penalised as much as she could have | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
been, for that. Meanwhile, this is Roseline Filion. She is a very | :54:07. | :54:17. | |
experienced, established diver. The arm stand back triple somersault | :54:18. | :54:19. | |
with tuck. Oh, yes, nice dive. | :54:20. | :54:41. | |
team-mate, Carolann, struggling on that the dive. Using the power in | :54:42. | :55:06. | |
that flick kick. But is a good dive. And she has taken the lead. Now, the | :55:07. | :55:15. | |
same dive, to be executed by her Canadian team-mate, Meaghan | :55:16. | :55:18. | |
Benfeito. Sixth place at the moment. Just leaving the dive a fraction | :55:19. | :55:40. | |
short. The take-off was excellent, probably a little bit better than | :55:41. | :55:49. | |
her team-mate's. A strong push off the hands, though. A couple | :55:50. | :55:54. | |
her team-mate's. A strong push off the hands, though. A of 6.5s in the | :55:55. | :55:55. | |
mix. Konta Cheong Jun Hoong of Malaysia. | :55:56. | :56:20. | |
That was a very, very simple reverse dive in the pike position. She is | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
obviously having challenges with this particular movement. She has | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
been having some challenges in training, so she is playing a game | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
of tactics, going for the 1.9 degrees of difficulty, to save | :56:36. | :56:39. | |
herself from wiping out. We have already seen one of those and we do | :56:40. | :56:50. | |
not want to see any more. Hitting the water as hard as you do, from | :56:51. | :56:55. | |
the 10m, things start to ache, and you are in pain. I thought it was a | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
mistake you are in pain. I thought it was a | :57:00. | :57:04. | |
on my screen, when I saw 1.9. Meanwhile, Rachel Bugg, with a 3.3. | :57:05. | :57:10. | |
Back three and a half some assaults, with tuck. Oh, just about getting | :57:11. | :57:19. | |
the dive in. A couple of rounds ago, she really struggled on the inward. | :57:20. | :57:23. | |
This time she does not quite get enough height, and the tuck shape is | :57:24. | :57:31. | |
way too open. Just about scrapes the dive in. There is lit in the tuck | :57:32. | :57:38. | |
position, trying to speed up the spin rotation. And there she is, | :57:39. | :57:48. | |
5.5s. As she looks back at the replay to see what she has done | :57:49. | :57:57. | |
right or wrong. Now, how is Carol-Ann Ware going to recover from | :57:58. | :58:01. | |
the last one, which did not quite go right. She is heavily taped on the | :58:02. | :58:09. | |
wrist, and also on the arm as well. Yes, solid. Good entry into the | :58:10. | :58:19. | |
water. You can see the heavy strapping on the right-hand side, | :58:20. | :58:25. | |
the tricep and the right wrist. It is not uncommon for divers to have | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
taping and strapping on the wrist, because that takes the brunt of the | :58:30. | :58:32. | |
impact, as you punch a hole in the water. Good recovery. | :58:33. | :58:43. | |
Reversed two and a half coming up now for Sarah Barrow. Not quite in | :58:44. | :58:55. | |
the form that we know she is capable of. | :58:56. | :59:03. | |
That is better. Like you say, not on her usual form, | :59:04. | :59:14. | |
That is better. Like you say, not on but it does not really matter, as | :59:15. | :59:15. | |
long as she turns up for the final. arch their, she should get sevens. | :59:16. | :59:39. | |
Yes, she moves to tied to fifth. Victoria Vincent next up on the ten | :59:40. | :59:44. | |
metres board. Amazing the impact hitting the water | :59:45. | :59:57. | |
at 30 mph has on a still quite frail 13-year-old body. | :59:58. | :59:59. | |
She will have the reverse to have somersaults, a lot more established | :00:00. | :00:04. | |
divers than she having problems today. Hello! Blue cat that! That is | :00:05. | :00:12. | |
why she is a force to be reckoned with. -- look at that! There can | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
still be technical improvements on this take-off, she skips forward a | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
little bit far away from the diving board here, but does she know where | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
this dive is. Look at her entering the water. A little bit too far away | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
from the diving board for nines, but she will not be far away. What a | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
dive, even at this tender age able to perform on the biggest stage. 70 | :00:38. | :00:38. | |
points for her. Taking it all in her stride. First | :00:39. | :00:50. | |
major international meet for Victoria Vincent. She seems to be | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
backing it up. Melissa Wu has been around a lot longer, far more | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
established. Again, not quite in top gear yet. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Back three and have somersaults with the talks. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
Nowhere near top gear, idling at the side of the road with that one. | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
Moving away with the shoulders, dipping back with the hips. That was | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
all over from the word go. What a shame. It is a big dive. | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
all over from the word go. What a going to be that costly but still | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
not very nice landing on like that. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
33 total for Melissa Wu. Consistent performance so far, | :01:32. | :02:17. | |
hoping this is just a sign of what will continue and will follow. | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
Since the will continue and will follow. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
the competition and that will keep just there. Good dive. Yes, right | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
where she wants to become in number one position. Tonia Couch has a lead | :02:39. | :02:52. | |
of just over five points. She needs 79 to take the lead, quite a big | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
ask. It is possible, but she will have to get nines to take the lead. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
She is not going to be too far away, that will get eights, definitely. | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
Three and a half in the tuck position. Three and a half in the | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
tuck position diving board, same distance from it, squeezed into that | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
tuck shape. Good entry, she will certainly be in the top three. | :03:20. | :03:35. | |
7.5s for Pandelela Rinong Pamg and that Mercer into the top three. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Confirmation of that after we have seen the last diver in round of four | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
for the panel to let dive of that round. This is the last one, am | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
stand back double somersault one and a half twists in the free position. | :03:50. | :04:12. | |
It is a good dive, she did not hold that the am stand for very long. It | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
says on the rules you should hold the handstand or the am stand and | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
show a comfortable balance before you go. That was quite brief, so the | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
judges may take some points off there. The drive itself was quite | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
good, so instead of 7.5 she might only get sixes. | :04:33. | :04:42. | |
Mixed opinions from the judges. All three of those will board to | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
water total of 62.40. This is how we look going into the final round. At | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
the risk of repetition, to remind you we will not lose any divers | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
before the final, all 12 will progress. At the moment Tonia Couch | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
will be going last and Carol-Ann Ware will be going first in the | :05:03. | :05:03. | |
final tonight. Into the last round of the ten | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
metres platform for women. Well, that is the first of many we | :05:08. | :05:43. | |
have seen in this final round. Nine out of the 12 divers are choosing to | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
use this on the final round. This is the twist, specifically two and a | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
half somersaults, one and a half twists. That is a good final dive, | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
she has had three good ones. That will certainly see her break 300. It | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
is a good score, she will be in the business end of the field when they | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
reorder for the final later. Tonia Couch will be up around | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
hopefully 350 if she gets things right on her final dive. Lara is | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
probably around 45 points behind her in the end. | :06:20. | :06:29. | |
Roseline Filion, 3.2 for the Canadian. | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
That particular dive won her and her partner, up next, the gold medal | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
yesterday, 24 hours ago. One and a half twists, straight up and down, | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
seven .5. Good effort this morning. A total score this morning. Good. | :06:48. | :07:06. | |
Very good. All of them will be returning | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
tonight, but there is quite a big gap between Roseline Filion and Lara | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Tarvit. Here is another Canadian, Meaghan | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Benfeito, back to land have somersaults, one and a half twists. | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
-- two and a half somersaults. Very good dive, just a bit of splash | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
drawn up, other than that it was technically precise. The technique, | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
swinging the arms, lifting them above your head then breaking one | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
arm into the half twists, as you complete a somersault then you move | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
into the remaining one and a half somersaults, making a total of two | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
and a half somersaults, one twists. No time for taking notes in that | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
dive. Back to and a half somersaults, one | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
and a half twists. She is out of range for Roseline | :07:57. | :08:15. | |
Filion points wise, Cheong Jun Hoong. | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Just marginally short of vertical as she entered the water. Weaker on the | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
take off than some of the athletes we have seen before. Still a | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
beautiful diver, though, great shape, just needed at 10.5 metres | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
platform in order to get that one in, but unfortunately that was not | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
available. She was short of vertical. | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
6.5s across-the-board for Cheong Jun Hoong of Malaysia. | :08:51. | :09:01. | |
The Australians, apart from the main, not having a great start, | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
really, are they? Rachel Bugg, back to and have somersaults, one and a | :09:10. | :09:10. | |
half twists. Yes, in word three and a half and | :09:11. | :09:21. | |
about three and a half further down. This was a good finish. Losing the | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
feet are little bit as she entered the water there. The judges may not | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
see that from the side. They will see the splash because of the degree | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
of difficulty it gets 65.6. I am so pleased she was able to | :09:33. | :10:15. | |
unlock her arms out, because as much of sticky tape Verizon her holding | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
her together I am surprised she has not having to be put back together | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
after every round. Made of tough stuff, and that is a good finish, | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
especially after that shambles on her handstand dive in round three. | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
There we go, good enough, everyone goes through. Not really much at | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
stake other than the order of dive in the final. | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Well, we will be back for more in the final later on today. Sarah | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Barrow, again, with that back two and a half. Trying to get some | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
momentum to take into tonight's final if she can. | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
That is much better. Faltering a little bit on this yesterday in the | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
synchronised, she was gritting her teeth talking to me about it, | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
thinking, if only I had hit it. If she had done it like that she would | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
have been pleased. That just shows she has the kind of form she will | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
need to feature in this evening's final. Good entering the water. | :11:22. | :11:30. | |
She would have hoped for 300 plus, but 290 in the morning is OK. | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
Now into the threes from the upper twos goes Victoria Vincent. A | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
variation what we have seen up until now in this round, a foreword three | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
and a half somersaults. Really attacking that take-off, just | :11:49. | :12:02. | |
over rotating slightly as she entered the water, just tipping over | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
from vertical, but, my goodness me, she cranks that start up a little | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
too far away from the diving board, which means the control just drifts, | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
the ankles moving away from vertical there. That is a good effort this | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
morning from VV. Finished sixth after that last round, just watching | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
the replay, we get a big smile and a wave. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
6.5s for Victoria Vincent and she will finish on 297.3, above Sarah | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Melissa Wu, back two and a half Barrow by seven points. | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
Melissa Wu, back two and a half again. | :12:42. | :12:51. | |
Better from Melissa Wu to finish, good entry into the water, hardly | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
any splash being thrown up. good entry into the water, hardly | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
with this now, many of the ladies deciding to finish with this one. | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
The drop-down camera there gives you a real impression of | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
the air. 68.80, she goes into the 300 club. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
It will have five members 68.80, she goes into the 300 club. | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
shortly to join them. 68.80, she goes into the 300 club. | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
from the front all the way 68.80, she goes into the 300 club. | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
Tonia Couch going for something a little bit different. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
Tonia Couch going for something a and a half somersaults with ten | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
three to finish. She has made a little bit of an | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
error. No mistakes on the start of the dive. It is a game of tactics | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
now. This is her favourite dive, she normally puts it on her head for | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
nines. She sales over with all the adrenaline she has pumping through | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
her veins. She has just overcooked it and that means she will not top | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
the leaderboard, she will be in second, which is fine. She has | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
qualified, 337 is still a good score and we want to see that dive in the | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
final, Tonia, you can smile, you are through. | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
I like the naughty schoolgirl look she has when she has done something | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
wrong or has had a dive that did not go the way she wanted it. | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
Pandelela Rinong Pamg, the back two and a half somersaults. | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Good work, I think that will put her about some of her competitors, that | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
is a great dive to finish on. 3.2 degrees of difficulty. She has been | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
there or thereabouts all morning. Straight up and down. Such a neat | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
and tidy diver. She will be difficult to beat later. Please tune | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
in later for the final, wherever you are. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
There is a question for you, we have joint leaders, saw who goes last | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
tonight? Good question. Exactly the same | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
mark, do they have two toss a coin for it? | :15:30. | :15:30. | |
Rock, paper, scissors, maybe? Last one up with the inward three | :15:31. | :15:39. | |
and a half somersaults with ten three. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
What a shame, coming out of the diver little early there. A little | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
bit scared, I guess, as she swings around. Wants to get the dive done, | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
just older bit too keen to be out. Short of vertical. The splash being | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
thrown up coming back towards us there. That is how it finishes. | :16:01. | :16:44. | |
Joint winners. Both of them on C where the English divers are. They | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
will come back for the final. If you want to see the final, it | :16:47. | :17:01. | |
will be on the BBC later on. Coming up on BBC Three, we have got the | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
men's individual time trial. We've got factory boys and butchers' | :17:04. | :17:08. | |

trial. It has already started. At the finish is Jonathan Edwards. What | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
are the conditions like? Not too bad. It is a little bit | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
windy. You can see the flags here. There's no rain at the moment but it | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
was winning five minutes ago. It was mixed conditions for the women, it | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
was wetter. It was a very dramatic race. They hope for the men's race | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
is that there will be some home countries success. The big support | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
will be for David Millar in his final season as a professional. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
Writing for Scotland, he is the defending championship. -- reigning | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
champion. His best chance will come in the road race. Grant Thomas, he | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
has just done the race in France and his body could be battered. The | :20:19. | :20:27. | |

Let us hand over to the commentary team. Chris Boardman and Simon | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
Brotherton. 60 riders in total going in | :20:35. | :20:51. | |
ascending order. The first group went out after half past 12. There | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
was a gap until the second group set off. The last rider, David Millar, | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
the defending champion at 28 minutes past two. Michael Hutchinson from | :21:08. | :21:18. | |
Northern Ireland is far from the end. | :21:19. | :21:28. | |
This was the first meant for Chris Froome as he was going up in Kenya. | :21:29. | :21:41. | |
-- mentor. He is well into his ride after being | :21:42. | :21:53. | |
in the saddle for 45 minutes. He has about ten minutes left to keep | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
riding. It could be a little bit less than that. The second part of | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
the course is considerably faster. He is well on his way back into | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
town. The roads are much bigger and dropping as we approach the River | :22:08. | :22:08. | |
Clyde. The rider from the one that is the | :22:09. | :22:23. | |
fastest of the early starters so far. Nobody flew to the finishing | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
line yet. The fathers for what is the rider from Gibraltar. The sun is | :22:30. | :22:44. | |
shining here but as you may have seen from earlier, different parts | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
of the course, a matter of minutes apart, are enjoying very different | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
weather conditions today. One minute to be large puddles at the side of | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
the road, the rain bashing for the camera lens, and then the sun is out | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
a few minutes later. For the first time ever, the road is bone dry. On | :23:10. | :23:24. | |
the latter part of the course they will face a cross headwind back into | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
town. Is the wind a major factor today, Chris? There are some large, | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
exposed search actions in the middle third of this course. We are calling | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
it a descent but it really is a false flat. It is slightly downhill | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
in steps. Nothing too strong at the moment. It is about five miles per | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
hour at the finish line. It is the luck of the draw which bit you | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
happen to get. We can see Francis of Gibraltar. The weather conditions he | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
has experience are completely different today. He will be heading | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
up to the time check at 17.1 kilometres. 24 minutes, 25 seconds | :24:19. | :24:37. | |
as the fastest time. He might slip outside of the top ten. This race | :24:38. | :24:50. | |
goes in ascending order. All of the big favourites are | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
goes in ascending order. All of the on the road. One of the riders from | :24:53. | :25:10. | |
Kenny had and then he had problems with his | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
pedal. After a lengthy stoppage, they try to see if they could make | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
the break roadworthy. He swapped onto a spear and from the looks of | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
things it did not seem like his shoes were compatible with the | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
pedals on the bike. He had to disappear into the back of the | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Kenyan team car. This is now the rider from Belize. There's a big | :25:40. | :25:57. | |
spread of abilities. Course at the front but there's a lot of people | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
competing for the first time. That is Alexandra Park on the right-hand | :26:03. | :26:17. | |
side if you know Glasgow. This was a section of the course where Linda | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
was able to gain a few seconds on Emma earlier today. None of the 60 | :26:21. | :26:40. | |
riders have yet set a time to beat. We will be having the first rider | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
across the finishing line in two or three minutes from now. | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
We get an action replay. I could see that one coming. It is very | :26:52. | :27:17. | |
slippery. You can see the changing conditions. We are straight back | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
onto a sunny road. It is like we are splicing together footage from | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
different days. We can assure you it is all happening alive. He is | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
huddling down the Cumbernauld Road, back towards the East End. -- her | :27:32. | :28:14. | |
billing. We are just a few hundred yards from the Sir Chris Hoy | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
Velodrome. Pressing on into the city centre were big crowds are waiting. | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
The big finish is here at Glasgow Green. Back with Mark Francis. 15th | :28:26. | :28:38. | |
fastest at 17.1 kilometres. He is 1.48 minutes down on the rider from | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
the wind. He had a little slip of the gears there. He is over halfway | :28:46. | :28:57. | |
through his pain trial now. It is added height towards the end of the | :28:58. | :29:02. | |
course, that is why they are getting more rain. I think he is near | :29:03. | :29:16. | |
Moodiesburn at the moment. It is good to see so many people coming | :29:17. | :29:32. | |
out to cheer the cyclists on. I think he is going to set a fast, | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
early time. Nobody yet is over the line at the finish. He is nearly two | :29:38. | :29:47. | |
minutes clear of the next rider. I think whatever marquee sets will | :29:48. | :30:04. | |
stand for some considerable time. The 30-year-old from Gibraltar will | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
be the first person to cross the line. They do a sweeping socket of | :30:09. | :30:15. | |
the finish. This is about 45 seconds of riding to do when we pick them | :30:16. | :30:33. | |
up. That corner can be tricky with some paving slabs, but now he is | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
coming up the finishing straight. Julian Bellido will set the time to | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
beat. 26 in this race four years ago in | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
Delhi, 35th in Melbourne back in 2006. Here he is in Glasgow the | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
first rider the crowds have seen. The crowds come as you can see, | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
absolutely packed in your for this finish in the men's road time | :30:58. | :31:05. | |
trial. The first rider in, and with one rider who we certainly know will | :31:06. | :31:08. | |
not finish, by my reckoning probably 58 to go. | :31:09. | :31:13. | |
He will be after his own personal best here, but, as you say, not | :31:14. | :31:18. | |
vying for the podium spot today. This should be Jon Eley Hadi from | :31:19. | :31:29. | |
Rwanda. -- Jean-Louis Hadi. -- Janvier. | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
All of these corners are dry at the moment, could change any second. | :31:35. | :31:38. | |
We can see here the change in the roads around the park, changes in | :31:39. | :31:43. | |
width and surface. While they are dry it is not bad for the riders, | :31:44. | :31:50. | |
but any hint of rain at all and it can become really quite | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
treacherous. This is the one that takes a lot of them by surprise. | :31:54. | :32:06. | |
David Kinjah Njau riding for Kenya. He is such an important figure in | :32:07. | :32:14. | |
Kenyan cycling. For many years now, he has helped so many people. | :32:15. | :32:23. | |
They have gained an appreciation of cycling and improved their lives | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
through cycling. There he is coming into the finishing area. It will be | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
the fastest time when he gets here, but I do not think it will be the | :32:34. | :32:41. | |
fastest for long, because John VA Hadi -- Jean-Louis Hadi of the land | :32:42. | :32:44. | |
that is not far behind him on the finishing circuit. | :32:45. | :32:52. | |
He has lost a bit of in closing stages. -- impetus. Now it is | :32:53. | :33:02. | |
looking a little bit laboured in the saddle. | :33:03. | :33:05. | |
He is coming home in the Commonwealth Games for Kenya. | :33:06. | :33:12. | |
David Kinjah Njau, up towards the line, you will | :33:13. | :33:16. | |
David Kinjah Njau, up towards the a couple of minutes at least. After | :33:17. | :33:24. | |
the best part of an hour in the saddle through the city and around | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
the countryside near Glasgow. Here comes Janvier | :33:30. | :33:32. | |
the countryside near Glasgow. Here the rider who won the first yellow | :33:33. | :33:35. | |
the countryside near Glasgow. Here jersey in the tour of Rwanda | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
the countryside near Glasgow. Here year. He is going to set the time to | :33:40. | :33:50. | |
be there. -- the time to beat. He will not quite a bit of the leading | :33:51. | :33:55. | |
time, nearly two and a half minutes. Janvier Hadi is the new early leader | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
here. That is a very respectable ride, and | :34:00. | :34:05. | |
average of 42 kilometres per hour riding a road bike with some | :34:06. | :34:09. | |
triathlon bar put on. Talking of triathlon bars, there is | :34:10. | :34:13. | |
Christopher Symons from Ghana, the rider who actually did finish the | :34:14. | :34:17. | |
triathlon in 30 First Place at the start of the game. Here he is now | :34:18. | :34:23. | |
just over an hour, nearly six and a half minutes back on the-year-old | :34:24. | :34:30. | |
London's time. -- on the Rwandan's time. | :34:31. | :34:38. | |
Tough, tough course, this. Janvier Hadi, so far of those out on | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
the course at the moment, looks to me to be some considerable distance | :34:43. | :34:55. | |
ahead of everyone else. I think his time will sit there for quite a | :34:56. | :35:07. | |
while. This is Marvin Spencer from Antigua and Barbados. -- Antigua and | :35:08. | :35:12. | |
Barbuda. 40 Antigua and Barbados. -- Antigua and | :35:13. | :35:21. | |
Christopher Symons it has taken him just over an hour to complete the | :35:22. | :35:24. | |
course. A mixture of showers. | :35:25. | :35:30. | |
It gives you an idea of the specialisation required. | :35:31. | :35:36. | |
It gives you an idea of the are not going to get within ten | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
minutes of the guys who win this race. | :35:40. | :35:44. | |
Some of the riders are we still have to see who have yet to leave the | :35:45. | :35:46. | |
starter's gate, the next batch, the to see who have yet to leave the | :35:47. | :35:51. | |
final batch, will not start going out | :35:52. | :35:53. | |
final batch, will not start going One minute | :35:54. | :35:59. | |
final batch, will not start going half an hour after that they will | :36:00. | :36:01. | |
all be setting off. -- one minute past to Michael. David | :36:02. | :36:06. | |
all be setting off. -- one minute Scotland as the defending champion | :36:07. | :36:11. | |
will be the last. Joel Borland from Bailey's comes up towards the line. | :36:12. | :36:27. | |
-- from Belize. Just 12 athletes from 12 -- Belize here in Glasgow. | :36:28. | :36:32. | |
Really pushing hard in the closing stages of this one. Final corner | :36:33. | :36:35. | |
coming up. Well, fair to say I don't think he | :36:36. | :36:48. | |
will have too much more left in the tank when he crosses the line and | :36:49. | :36:55. | |
you cannot ask for more than that. He is looking pretty spent. Totally | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
spent. Will he get here in just under an hour? It will be close, and | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
he will make it. Just under the hour mark. But, as you can see already, | :37:07. | :37:14. | |
Janvier Hadi's time still stands and he is way, way up, over five minutes | :37:15. | :37:20. | |
clear of Joel Borland. This is the first of the riders from | :37:21. | :37:22. | |
Guyana, Marlon Williams. He has been taking his bike racing | :37:23. | :37:32. | |
really seriously this year coming he says he has lost ?21 weight -- 21 | :37:33. | :37:44. | |
pounds since the start of the year. That is a lot of money! | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
They start to come into the finishing area thick and fast now. | :37:50. | :38:01. | |
The next one we can see here but Michael Kris Pradel. | :38:02. | :38:21. | |
Kris Pradel, infuse you we received by those lining the finishing | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
straight. 1.03.19. Here is Lee called the run now from | :38:26. | :38:56. | |
Gibraltar. -- Calderon. The 34-year-old gets well inside the | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
hour for this ride, just over four minutes down on Janvier Hadi. | :39:01. | :39:08. | |
So far, nine riders have come in across the line. The rider there, | :39:09. | :39:15. | |
number 45, is Dominique Mayho from Bermuda. | :39:16. | :39:23. | |
You can see the tall it is taking, this course, on the riders. Their | :39:24. | :39:29. | |
body language is completely different towards the end of this | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
race, really fatiguing circuit. The rough surfaces just the muscles. -- | :39:34. | :39:43. | |
jarring the muscles. Receiving coaching and guidance from | :39:44. | :39:49. | |
a former Olympic medallist from Canada, Brian Walton. Trying to find | :39:50. | :39:55. | |
you and his talents. Dominik mail is the top cyclist in Bermuda, a young | :39:56. | :39:57. | |
rider. -- Dominique Mayho. This is the Kenyan writer, | :39:58. | :40:14. | |
second-fastest, one minute and a half down on Janvier Hadi. Ten three | :40:15. | :40:24. | |
looks like he will get the closest to the Rwandan. | :40:25. | :40:32. | |
Ten three looks to be riding very steadily, but in fact he just has a | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
very efficient style, stayed in position, I don't not think we have | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
seen him come out opposition for the entire day. | :40:42. | :40:53. | |
He has looked very good so far. Samuel Anim from Ghana, the national | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
road race champion of Ghana five years ago. The Ayr Road cycling team | :40:58. | :41:08. | |
out to cheer them in the last few weeks after having got to know them. | :41:09. | :41:17. | |
They have an acclimatisation camp in Ayr put up by the local council. | :41:18. | :41:28. | |
45 is Dominique Mayho from Bermuda. Here at Glasgow Green. Circling | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
around the technical area around the commentary positions, past the | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
funfair. The wind is really blowing now, it | :41:38. | :41:47. | |
is in their face as they come into the park and it is aiding them up | :41:48. | :41:53. | |
this finishing straight. Unpredictable and billowing, as Anim | :41:54. | :41:56. | |
comes towards the line seventh fastest. | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
The best sprint of the day, though. He just beat his team-mate and | :42:01. | :42:06. | |
compatriot, Christopher Symons. The two riders from Ghana are in as we | :42:07. | :42:09. | |
wait here for Dominique Mayho from Bermuda. | :42:10. | :42:15. | |
This is a very respectable time here. | :42:16. | :42:17. | |
Third quickest at the last time check. One minute and three quarters | :42:18. | :42:25. | |
down on Janvier Hadi, roughly. He will not challenge the leader, but | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
he will be up towards the top of the leaderboard, Janvier Hadi the leader | :42:31. | :42:33. | |
in the clubhouse. He could move into second place | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
here. In fact, I think he will. He looks to be finishing strongly with | :42:39. | :42:43. | |
just over 250 metres to go. Just one straight sprint to the line | :42:44. | :42:46. | |
in blustery conditions here. He lost a little bit of time thereat | :42:47. | :42:53. | |
area. It will take him up He lost a little bit of time thereat | :42:54. | :43:09. | |
the end on Janvier Hadi, but a good ride nonetheless for Dominique Mayho | :43:10. | :43:15. | |
of Bermuda. Rwanda, Bermuda and Kenya in the | :43:16. | :43:18. | |
first three places at the moment. That, of course, will change as the | :43:19. | :43:28. | |
race goes on, but there is Muya of Kenya who has produced a really good | :43:29. | :43:33. | |
ride so far. He has a few minutes of riding to do | :43:34. | :43:38. | |
yet. His style is just completely steal, isn't it? He is doing quite a | :43:39. | :43:44. | |
lot of freewheeling now, as well, as he sets up for this corner, comes | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
off the bars, the first time we have seen that in this race. | :43:50. | :43:54. | |
He is well on his way, that is the right turn into Gallowgate, the wide | :43:55. | :44:05. | |
boulevard into town. This looks like the rider from | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
Antigua and Barbuda in towards the finish here. It is, it is Bridges. | :44:10. | :44:25. | |
Bridges over the line, and again 15 seconds quicker than his team-mate | :44:26. | :44:31. | |
and compatriot, Marlon Spencer. Also the rider from India, he was | :44:32. | :44:34. | |
the rider who fell off a little earlier on,, that was Arvind | :44:35. | :44:43. | |
Panwar, and his time at the finish good enough for fourth at the | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
moment, two minutes 37 down. We are back with ten three from Kenya. -- | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
Muya from Kenya. have came in so far. Big names will | :44:52. | :45:23. | |
be out within the next 45 minutes. The next batch of riders going out | :45:24. | :45:33. | |
just after the hour mark. Back with Mark Francis from Gibraltar. The | :45:34. | :45:43. | |
last time we looked he was in 15th position at the earlier time checks. | :45:44. | :45:52. | |
Maybe dropped a little bit further down the board. We will keep an eye | :45:53. | :45:59. | |
on him. I do not think he has gone through at 52 kilometres. He was | :46:00. | :46:08. | |
3.16 minutes down. This is not far from Glasgow Green. Left-hand turn | :46:09. | :46:15. | |
into Glasgow Green for a bigger loop. Into the last couple of | :46:16. | :46:23. | |
minutes of his ride. He will have to work hard to keep hold of his second | :46:24. | :46:29. | |
spot at the moment. It is in his grasp. He is one of those deceptive | :46:30. | :46:37. | |
riders. He does not look like he is grasp. He is one of those deceptive | :46:38. | :46:43. | |
time checks, he is powering along the road. Certainly get | :46:44. | :46:54. | |
time checks, he is powering along consistency, wouldn't he? He is | :46:55. | :46:56. | |
heading in the general direction of the River Clyde, down towards the | :46:57. | :47:01. | |
river. Coming into the park proper now. Now he should go down towards | :47:02. | :47:07. | |
the river. Meanwhile, we await now. Now he should go down towards | :47:08. | :47:20. | |
further arrivals. 14 riders are in at the | :47:21. | :47:52. | |
Just one more time. Here it comes now. | :47:53. | :48:09. | |
Less than 200 metres to go, up towards the finishing line. | :48:10. | :48:19. | |
Strong finish. Finishing in one hour six minutes. Just over 11.5 minutes | :48:20. | :48:44. | |
down. Here comes the rider from Kenya. He looks like he has kept | :48:45. | :48:51. | |
this one going. He could get the second fastest time as he comes | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
towards the finish. He does indeed do that. He is a couple of minutes | :48:56. | :49:06. | |
down on the rider from Rwanda. Bermuda have been moved down into | :49:07. | :49:11. | |
the bronze medal position. He kept it going throughout. He was steady. | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
Now the first of the riders from Malawi. Coming over the line. His | :49:17. | :49:42. | |
top is open. I did not think he would be suffering their from heat | :49:43. | :49:51. | |
in Glasgow. -- suffering from heat in Glasgow. Carefully not something | :49:52. | :49:57. | |
I expected when I wandered down to the finishing area earlier on today. | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
He looked quite fresh as he pedalled away. I hope he realised that the | :50:03. | :50:15. | |
race was finished. The raider from the Seychelles coming up towards the | :50:16. | :50:16. | |
line. -- rider. 21 years of age. They really are | :50:17. | :50:39. | |
spread out around the circuit now. Raiders gaining several minutes on | :50:40. | :50:44. | |
each other. They are coming in at a different order than what they went | :50:45. | :51:11. | |
out at. You can see it is quite windy here at the finishing line. | :51:12. | :51:22. | |
This time trial takes in the countryside of North Lanarkshire. It | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
cuts across East Dunbartonshire before heading back into Glasgow | :51:27. | :51:41. | |
Green. It is Osborne, the 31-year-old. One hour, three | :51:42. | :51:55. | |
minutes, 34 seconds. The Kenyan has been the class of the riders to have | :51:56. | :52:08. | |
gone out on the course so far. Simon is good enough for seventh fastest. | :52:09. | :52:20. | |
Already, the top 20 are separated by 11 and a half minutes. The rider | :52:21. | :52:35. | |
from Belize, Giovanni Lovell. He has done pretty well. He was a late call | :52:36. | :52:39. | |
up. He only knew that he was riding about three weeks ago. He seems to | :52:40. | :52:45. | |
be covered in gaffer tape for reasons we cannot work out. Just | :52:46. | :52:52. | |
making a right tunnel into the Gallowgate coming back into the | :52:53. | :53:06. | |
city. -- right turn. 32 years of age. Down in 17th place. He will not | :53:07. | :53:14. | |
finish near the top of the leaderboard. Geoffrey of Guyana | :53:15. | :53:24. | |
making his way in, the 20-year-old. Another rider who will finish inside | :53:25. | :53:32. | |
one hour. It might be good enough for seventh place. It will be good | :53:33. | :53:34. | |
enough for seventh place. Most of these riders will be back | :53:35. | :53:52. | |
for the road race on Sunday afternoon. | :53:53. | :54:05. | |
Francis, again we go back to him. He has dropped down to 18th at the 32 | :54:06. | :54:16. | |
kilometre mark. 22 riders have came in from this early batch. We are | :54:17. | :54:20. | |
just a few minutes away from saying the second batch of riders heading | :54:21. | :54:27. | |
out from the start at Glasgow Green. We are sticking with France's at the | :54:28. | :54:31. | |
moment but he will not appear at the top of the leaderboard. The second | :54:32. | :54:36. | |
rider from Malawi is on his way to the finish. He is writing a new | :54:37. | :54:49. | |
bike, kindly donated by the local bike shop. -- riding. Every rider | :54:50. | :55:31. | |
getting a rousing reception through the streets of Glasgow. | :55:32. | :55:45. | |
That is the corner that will take into finishing straight. One last | :55:46. | :55:55. | |
push for the line. We have seen some good spins through this finishing | :55:56. | :56:04. | |
straight. -- good splints. The crowd seemed to lift them. We should see | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
some good ones at the weekend as well. It is narrower than it looks. | :56:09. | :56:16. | |
We were quite surprised when we came and saw the circuit and the width of | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
this. There's the possibility in the road race that we will see a road | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
race and it is only about three or four metres. I thought it was just | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
for the time trial but it is apparently for the road race as | :56:32. | :56:39. | |
well. We could have a breakaway group or a loan when. We might not | :56:40. | :56:50. | |
necessarily have a bunch finish. -- a lone winner. | :56:51. | :57:08. | |
That lip of the park at the end when you think you have reached the | :57:09. | :57:13. | |
finish but you haven't, you have got a couple of minutes to finish and | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
there is a tricky corner at the end that thankfully is not wet. There | :57:19. | :57:21. | |
are plagued -- The weather was more of an issue for | :57:22. | :57:43. | |
the women's race this morning. The Canadian was the only athlete that | :57:44. | :57:50. | |
we had noticed had taken a chunk out of her side as she had went round. | :57:51. | :58:03. | |
13th place from the 24 who have crossed the line so far. | :58:04. | :58:23. | |
This looks like the rider from Rwanda. He was the last rider from | :58:24. | :58:29. | |
the opening batch. He has been at the world governing body 's training | :58:30. | :58:33. | |
centre in Switzerland this year. I do not know how much this has helped | :58:34. | :58:47. | |
in 2014. Sprinting the finish. 36 point 38. Good enough for second | :58:48. | :58:56. | |
place. The wind-up occupying the first two positions in the | :58:57. | :59:19. | |
clubhouse. -- Rwanda. He is up to 16. Mark France's finishing | :59:20. | :59:31. | |
strongly. 16th place at the moment for the rider from Gibraltar. I | :59:32. | :59:37. | |
think this was the Indian rider who crashed earlier. Just coming into | :59:38. | :59:57. | |
view now. 45 seconds to go. Nearly every event there was, he turned up. | :59:58. | :00:04. | |
He is making the most of his time in Glasgow, getting stuck into all of | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
the events. He looks like he will finish inside the hour mark. It has | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
long finishing straight that we have got here. Hadi has been in the top | :00:15. | :00:27. | |
of the leaderboard for a while now. We have a rider from the Seychelles | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
coming in. I don't think anyone is going to touch Hadi, that is the | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
strongest rate of the morning. Edward Pothin preparing to come in, | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
the national road champion of the Seychelles in 2012. | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
When you look at the times this Open eight -- opening batch of riders | :00:58. | :01:09. | |
separated by up to eight minutes. That is the difference even in this | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
first batch of riders to go out. As Pothin races up towards the line. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
What a welcome sight that must be, seeing the gantry before you and | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
knowing you have almost made it. The line, eking out a second | :01:22. | :01:42. | |
dorsal, six minutes down on Hadi of Rwanda. We see the class of that | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
first batch, Janvier Hadi and violence and assigned -- failings in | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
deciding -- villains in den IDs now we have at the start of the | :01:58. | :02:13. | |
second batch of riders, in fact we have missed one of the first riders | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
to leave the starter's date. No, it is Smith from the Cayman Islands, | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
who is the flag bearer for the Cayman Islands. It seems a long time | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
ago now, the opening ceremony, but very impressive | :02:35. | :02:36. |
