BBC Two: Day 1: 13:00 - 13:45 Commonwealth Games

Good afternoon, and welcome back to coverage of day

The first gold medal of the games has been won.

A fantastic performance from Jodie Stimpson. This is what is coming up.

The swimming got underway this morning.

No doubt a great welcome for Scotland's Hannah Miley

The best of the action from the women's hockey, as England take on

And we'll look ahead to the men's triathlon which starts

at three o'clock, featuring the fabulous Brownlee brothers.

And on day one, a feast of sport for you already.

You can go live to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome for the track cycling.

Online, we have rhythmic gymnastics, lawn bowls is well under way. Table

tennis. Netball. And squash. But,

before all that let's reflect on the Jodie Stimpson is the first winner

of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, a terrific performance. A

wonderful scene, as she came around the final bend will stop she was

pushed all the way by Kirsten Sweetland of Canada and Emma Jackson

of Australia. A terrific reception for Jodie Stimpson. What an

incredible performance from her this afternoon. She was pushed all the

way. Wonderful moments for her, a terrific season she has had. All

those months of hard work pay off. Terrific stuff from Jodie Stimpson.

And very emotional when she caught up with Sonali Shah.

Congratulations. You are Commonwealth champion!

I don't know... This is all year. I have got to

thank so many people who have got me through, it is awesome. To share a

podium is so special with Vicky. The first goal medal of the games.

Now, it is the boys's turn! I can't find enough people. It is not just

by medal but for so many people. Darren Smith, to put up with me for

so long. Thank you so much. I am sure England

is sharing this middle with you all stop what was it like out there, did

you feel like it was a home race? It didn't matter what catchy anyone

was from, the crowd was fantastic. Running along this path, jam-packed

with people, it was fantastic. We have got to talk about tactics.

You had a breakaway, then let everyone back in on the bike.

Pretty silly, to be honest. Lucy was there. We just needed a couple more

to commit. We spoke briefly yesterday. We wanted a hard race. We

tried, it didn't work. We tried breaking away. When Lucy went, I am

not chasing an England girl. I knew I could run faster. To give Lucy the

best shot she needed to break away and I wasn't chasing her down. It

was up to the other athletes. You are Commonwealth champion, how

proud with your family be? They are already crying! Everyone is

here, so many of my family. After missing last time, they have got to

see me in a Championship race. Great to see your tears of joy,

congratulations again. Many congratulations to Jodie

Stimpson. Just how emotional was she out there?

What a result. Team Wales couldn't be here but this is the next best

thing. Seeing two British girls on the podium is fantastic, I am

delighted for both of them. Jodie really deserved that win, she

fought all the way. And for Vicky to get onto the podium is a

breakthrough. All the home Nations rivals but, at

the end of the day, the home nations are also supporting each other and

everyone suddenly becomes British. Jodie has won the very first medal

of the games, especially after missing London 2012. We are still

Team GB. Everyone is working as a team.

Let us talk about the race. They had the medals handed to them on a

plate, really. We saw Emma Jackson on the front, on the bike. Lucy

tried to shake things up, but nobody followed her.

Emma Jackson normally lives at the back of the bike pack. So it shows

it wasn't fast. Great to see Lucy have a go. The

best way for a performance is to create a break but it didn't pull

off. Just to explain why no one followed, they did not want to use

up their energy because they knew they could out one Lucy.

Those girls are very fast. -- outrun Lucy.

Flora Duffy has roots in Barrow, lots of support for her.

Initially, there was a clip of Emma Jackson's ankle. Does that happen

when you are racing tightly? It does, you are in such close

proximity. It is annoying when it happens, it gets you out of your

stride but it would not have affected the overall result.

Let us talk about that finish. They dropped the New Zealander, Andrea

Hewitt. Two goals on the podium. Vicky is

more than delighted with that. -- girls.

Your best friend, winning one of the medals, one of the first medals.

I felt so emotional. It is weird when you are on the other side but I

thoroughly enjoyed watching it. How do you think the British camp will

be feeling about the race they saw out there today?

Definitely very positive, it bodes well for the rest of the season, and

in Edmonton. It is a busy day at Strathclyde

Country Park. We still have the men's triathlon to come in a couple

of hours. Like the women's race, England will

probably dominate although we have 12 home Nations athletes on the

start line. I think it will be the Brownlee brothers.

They have to be clear favourites. They were dominant in hamburg ten

days ago. I can't see anyone rivalling them for that gold and

silver. Alistair, I think, followed by Jonny.

The men's race starts at 3pm over on BBC One, do join us.

Don't miss it. Great to see Non working for us on the BBC. Now,

let's turn our attention to swimming. A great reception for

Hannah Miley, as she began her quest to land gold in the 400m individual

medley. This is the start list. Hannah Miley is the 2010

Commonwealth champion, lining up against the Australian Jessica

Pengelly. She actually competed for South

Africa in the Olympics in Beijing in 2008.

The commentator was just introducing the swimmers to the crowd, after

about 25 metres, which was rather surreal! The 16-year-old going in

first, ahead of Hannah Miley. The 16-year-old Canadian, trains in

Vancouver, leading this first hit. Scots, do not worry just yet,

because Hannah Miley should come back on the backstroke, and then,

real strength in the breaststroke. Fascinating, she is not pushing this

very hard. Let's see what she does, Hannah. I would imagine she will be

a little bit faster than that in the final. But the backstroke and

certainly the breaststroke is where Hannah will pick it up. But leading

at the moment is 16-year-old Emily Overholt of Canada. Overholt going

underneath a world-record split. She was world junior representative for

Canada in the 200 fly. So, playing her strong suit in this heat. Now,

trying to hold on. Hannah Miley coming back on her, this 16-year-old

is having a great race. She is only actually two seconds outside of the

British record pace, which is very fast indeed. So, this pace is hot.

So, the halfway mark of this first hit of the women's 400m individual

medley. Emily Overholt of Canada in first place, and there she is. But

catching her is the 24-year-old Hannah Miley, and looking pretty

good at the moment. Yes, we would expect this gap would be reduced,

maybe even broken down. Also swimming well, the other Canadian.

All three of these girls coming back into line now. Hannah Miley will

want to win this, I think. Hannah Miley, starting to take over

now. Leading by about a second, with the freestyle to come. So, Hannah

Miley in the lead. Also swimming very well is the 16-year-old Emily

Overholt, from Canada. Looking pretty comfortable now. She does not

look like she is pushing it particularly hard. Coming up to the

last 50 metres, just a body length ahead. Overholt having the race of

her life, she came second in the Canadian trials. She is going to

blitz her personal best. When you are a really great swimmer,

it is quite difficult to swim it medium or slow. So, Hannah Miley

winning Heat 1. A new Commonwealth Games record. A faster time than she

posted to win the gold medal in Delhi. But that is only the heat,

the final tonight will be a cracker. What sort of plan did you have

coming into that? I thought 4.40 would have been good, and just for

it to feel quite solid. It was great to have the girl from Canada going

out, because it kept me on my toes. It was a lot faster than the time I

was thinking of. It is all about the recovery now, trying to get rested

and hopefully have a good race tonight. Did you enjoy last night,

did you watch the opening ceremony on television? Only until the

athletes came out, and then I had to get to sleep. Had one of the best

nights sleep I have ever had. But it sounded amazing, and it is great to

be part of it. In the second heat, Ellen Gandy, who

won three medals in Delhi for England before switching allegiance

to Australia in 2012, was lining up, but it was Aimee Willmott who won

the heat, with Keryn McMaster coming in in second. So, let's take a look

at this evening's final. There will be a terrific atmosphere

in the Tollcross swimming pool this evening for that. Michael Jamieson

also had a very warm home welcome in the men's 200m breaststroke, along

with Ross Murdoch and Calum Tait, and also look out for the athlete

from the Soto, whose qualifying time is more than a minute slower than

everyone else. Murdoch is a great sprinter. He has

got a good stroke. But we have all been waiting to see how Jamieson

looks. It is one thing talking about somebody but you do not know their

form. We cannot see inside their training pool. But a good, strong

first 70 metres. And really, well, there is only these three in the

race. They have just dropped everybody behind. Because the Aussie

is out of it, really... They are doing some kind of synchronised

things! Well, this is brilliant for Scotland. Jamieson, Murdoch and

Tait, and don't they look good? Leading his Michael Jamieson, but he

has not topped the other two. This could be wonderful for Scottish

breaststroke swimming. That splits time was wrong, they are just about

a second behind the world-record split time. But at the moment

Jamieson does not look the best of these. Murdoch looks the best of

these three swimmers. I think Jamieson probably knows he has done

enough, but Murdoch is taking his opportunity. Five years the junior

of Michael Jamieson, the 20-year-old, trains in Stirling,

having his moments. He looks really good as well, Ross Murdoch. He won

the Scottish Championships in the 50 and the 100, but look at this, he is

swimming away from Michael Jamieson, and look at the time! My goodness

me, that is a massive lifetime best! Look at his eyes! My goodness, he

meant that! That is very, very impressive indeed. Ross Murdoch wins

the final heat for the men's 200m breaststroke, and he looks super.

So, look at that, a massive Games record for Ross Murdoch of Scotland.

How did that feel? It was a strange year last year for you, just missed

that record early on? I am in good shape. I got confidence from doing a

good time after probably my worst training block I had ever done, so I

am trying to use that as a positive, blowing the cobwebs out this morning

and said Linda nerves. Tonight I will just try and... Hopefully the

crowd will make as much noise as possible. -- settling the nerves.

You have to take in every single moment, don't you? Yes, we had a

team meeting, and that was what I said to the youngsters - do not be

scared of racing anyone, take advantage of this crowd. After

seeing the advantage it gave me in London, this is something you will

remember for the rest of your swimming career, and after that as

well. In the first of the three heats, it was all lies on Christian

Sprenger, who is aiming for four gold medals here in Glasgow. But it

was James Wilby of England who finished first, with Rob Holderness

of Wales coming second. Andrew Willis was fourth.

So, we have a terrific looking final ahead of us. Let's take a look at

how Michael Jamieson will line up this evening.

They are off at one minute past nine this evening, precisely.

What a hit this is. Mack Horton, the fastest seed from Australia, goes in

lane four. This is going to be fascinating.

Let me just remind you how they are lining up here. Robbie Renwick was

looking to seal a place in the final of the men's 400m freestyle. He went

in the third of the heats that you were looking at.

Two Scots leading the race. Nobody wants to be fifth in this one! You

definitely do not want to be the Australian with the yellow hat. He

has got to be massively careful. He should really win this. If here's

not careful, he might miss out. Does not look good! This is very

interesting indeed. My goodness me. Look at that. Milne WinZip. James

Guy got fourth place. But Scotland, one, two, three. Obviously, the

crowd is getting to you guys! Yes, people calling our names, it is

really great. Were you inspired watching opening ceremony last

night? Definitely. It really did help me a lot this morning. You are

an old hand at this, we know you as a 200 champion, but that was a good

400. Yes, still giving the 400 ago. I have had a good season of

training. I am chuffed to get a one 23 with these guys. Do you think the

passion makes the Scottish heart even bigger? Definitely, these

youngsters, you watch them swim, it is fantastic. These guys will be

around for the next four years. It is going to be a very exciting final

- good luck to you. Ieuan Lloyd of Wales went

in the final heat, heat four, alongside reigning Commonwealth

champion, Canadian Ryan Cochrane. And the fastest man this year,

Australian David McKeon. And it was the Australian who

dominated this swim, Unfortunately, Lloyd was just out

of qualification and will not In the second of this evening's

finals, this is the line-up They're off

at 16 minutes past seven. So this should be

an amazing race for the home crowd England's 18-year-old Siobhan Marie

O'Connor also got her Glasgow Games underway this morning at Tollcross,

in the women's 200m freestyle. A natural racer, she is targeting an

impressive five medals this week. Heat three, Sean McMahon is in lane

one. There are no Australians or Scots in

this second heat. They have gone off very quickly indeed. She has really

gone for it. Hopefully, she can control it. It looks good. Spotting

her turn. Looking forward, to make sure she was the right distance. It

comes a bit more naturally as you get older. Boyle, a really good,

strong, experienced summer, trained in the States. Now back in New

Zealand with a former British swimming coach. The field is

catching up a little bit more. A little bit quicker than the first

heat. 1.5 lengths to go in the third heat.

Siobhan Marie O'Connor had a quick start but the others are catching

her up. Boyle, expect her to come back. This is good, solid swimming

from O'Connor, still very young, just 18. She needs to hold on. First

or second. It is a fast heat. There are no semifinals.

A really good swim, Boyle is sticking with her. Look at that,

just holding off, O'Connor from Boyle. A very good swim. Siobhan

Marie O'Connor setting a new Commonwealth Games record, to win

the third of four heats. On paper, the fastest heat is to come. This

will put her in a decent lane for the final.

A big cheer at the end. Fastest so far with a Games record.

You look like you are informed. I was really happy with that. Always

tough in the morning. I'm really happy with that. I want to push it

on a bit more in the final. You are a busy person, have you got

a priority? Every race is important to me, I

want to do well in all of my races all stop fingers crossed. I have

trained hard. I wanted a busy programme this time so I have given

everything in training. Hopefully I am ready this week.

Have a fantastic race later on. On the third of this evening's

finals, this is how they line up Australia's Emma McKeon,

who's the second fastest But a fantastic swim from Siobhan

Marie O?Connor puts her right in contention, along with London 2012

underachiever Wales' Jazz Carlin Another final this evening is

the men's 100m free S9 category. Clare Balding will be bringing you

all the final action this evening, To squash now, and England's world

champion Nick Matthew has started the defence of his title against

Xavier Koenig, a 29-year-old The middle of the game is very

important. A beautiful fade from behind him on the back wall, an

incredible shot from Nick Matthew. Dying on the side wall.

Matthew, 7-3 up, leading by one game. Right now, looking very

comfortable. Playing the ball around nicely. We have just seen Nick

Matthew, in the last rallies, increasing the pace slightly,

volleying the ball around the middle of the court. A nice hold. Yes, a

lovely, structured rally from Nick. If anyone watching at home needs to

see how to play a great rally in squash, that is the way to do it.

He put pressure with the length deep into the court. He volleyed well,

created the opportunity and put the ball away. A classic rally.

A beautiful change of direction, using the side wall.

Nick Clegg is in today, with Heather Deighton heavily involved with the

Hong Kong Squash rackets Association, a wonderful input on

the game of squash all around the world. Chatting in the front row.

Heather, the lady on the right of Nick Clegg.

There we go. Second game in the bag. Nick Matthew takes that 11-3.

We are into this third game, Nick Matthew against Xavier Koenig of

Mauritius. Koenig has put on a great performance so far, some great

rallies, great shots. Nick Matthew in both the first and second games

has tended to put more pressure on in the middle of the game. I think

that is where Koenig has two focus. He had to concentrate, not let Nick

Matthew increase the pace. Nick has come out here, really focused. Very

quick. Nice change of direction. A super shot there. Well disguised,

crosscourt, drop at the front of the court.

Certainly starting to step the pace up now.

A squash court you could argue is a relatively small area for two big

athletes. When you go the wrong way, it seems like the biggest, like

a soccer pitch. A great kill.

I think we will see a different Nick Matthew in this third game. He will

accelerate the racket threw the ball a little bit more quickly to take

the ball very early. He's not letting up. He really wants to get a

taste of what the later rounds will feel like. No mercy.

A nice drop therefrom Koenig but the return by Nick, and some great play

in the backhand corner. A practice money for a moment.

A nice exchange. A change of direction. A tough rally for Xavier

Koenig. Oh, and at the bottom. A lovely

exchange in that front, backhand corner.

We see the value of controlling the middle of the courts and getting in

front of your opponent. As Nick Matthew did that and is doing again

in this rally. -- did there. Again, with Nick, that

early in susceptible -- imperceptible delays. Incredibly

hard to read. Oh, great shot.

A lovely crosscourt. The crowd cheering. Appreciating that shot.

A wry smile on his face. A high-risk shot. Why not, at this stage?

Nothing to lose. Matthew, taking a commanding lead in

the third game. Certainly showing no mercy, he wanted to get this game in

the bag. A great performance from Xavier

Koenig. That was unlucky. A good effort and

a nice smile on his face. He just slipped over there. But he managed

to pick himself back up again. And another great length from Nick

Matthew. He really has got the feel on that

ball, getting it deep into the corner. That actually gives him

match point. 10-1. And again. Another lovely drive to

end the match. Nick Matthew. He takes that match three games to

love, a great effort by Xavier Koenig. What a wonderful

experience. Getting a lovely cheer from the crowd. He clapped his hand

but Nick Matthew is the victor today. As I say, three games to love

11-3, 11-3, 11-1. Congratulations to him but that

victory. James will stop, silver medallist

from Delhi, began his campaign against Nicholas Kyme. You can see

the conclusion of that match online. Olympic 5,000m and 10,000m

champion Mo Farah is out of these Commonwealth Games, withdrawing

this morning after failing to A glorious victory for Jodie

Stimpson in the women's triathlon and a bronze medal for Vicky

Holland. And a 3-way chance for Scotland in

the men's 200m breaststroke heat with a massive PB for Ross Murdoch

are pushing Michael Jamieson down into second, Callum Tait third.

That is it from us on BBC Two. If you switch over to BBC1, we will

have further coverage of the 20 14th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. What

a beautiful day it in Scotland. So far, it is all about Jodie

Stimpson, gold medal in the women's triathlon, for England.

How do you know people are telling the truth?

Well, when did we start funding projects in Gaza?
