at Hampden Park where Laura Weightman has just won silver for

:00:57.:00:59.

England. What a brilliant performance from her. She is

:01:00.:01:06.

overjoyed with that success. You can see that clearly. And somebody else

:01:07.:01:13.

who is overjoyed as her coach, and our commentator, Steve Cram. Tell us

:01:14.:01:22.

your emotions, not just on coaching her but the fact that you

:01:23.:01:26.

commentator and whilst she won a silver medal?

:01:27.:01:42.

She is a toff athlete. -- tough. A really good example of somebody who

:01:43.:01:46.

has worked hard over the years. Her attitude is always 100%. She has

:01:47.:01:55.

been improving year-on-year. The Olympics were a massive experience

:01:56.:02:00.

for her and two years and she has won a medal here at Hampden Stadium.

:02:01.:02:06.

I knew perhaps surprised at the performance?

:02:07.:02:12.

Not in the sense of how gutsy she was. She felt terrible after the

:02:13.:02:19.

heats so we chatted today about discarding that. The runners from

:02:20.:02:24.

Kenny, they are amongst the best in the world, but we talked about how

:02:25.:02:36.

you have to be prepared for somebody not running to 100% of their

:02:37.:02:45.

ability, and the hats Obiri didn't. -- perhaps. But Laura is a real

:02:46.:02:56.

scrapper who will always give 100%. What I will tell her off about is

:02:57.:03:00.

watching the screen as she came down the home straight! Look at the

:03:01.:03:12.

delight on her face. She went to the front early. She

:03:13.:03:18.

went down that inside lane. Were those the tactics she discussed?

:03:19.:03:27.

The race was slow with 700 to go, and you need to get close to the

:03:28.:03:31.

front. She made a great move to get on the shoulder. When she saw an

:03:32.:03:35.

opportunity to just hold that position, the last 500, you need to

:03:36.:03:41.

hold it. You cannot have people coming around you. Her family have

:03:42.:03:50.

been up here. Diane has got the bug also and started running ten K since

:03:51.:03:56.

Laura began doing so well. Her little brother did a training

:03:57.:04:00.

session with a couple of weeks ago. They have all pitched in. The whole

:04:01.:04:07.

of Northumberland will be proud. The local newspaper had a poster.

:04:08.:04:14.

We can bring in Paula Radcliffe. She watched intently. What did you make

:04:15.:04:19.

of it? I really happy. And well done to

:04:20.:04:26.

coach Steve Cram for not just coaching but managing to commentate

:04:27.:04:30.

on that! How many times did she dig deep? She had to really do so down

:04:31.:04:38.

the back straight to hold the position. And then to fight again

:04:39.:04:43.

around the bend. Here we see her coming up to the Dell. She is trying

:04:44.:04:50.

to hold her position. She knows they are all queueing up behind her. She

:04:51.:04:59.

needs to keep Kibiegon wide and is pushing hard. She does not panic.

:05:00.:05:07.

She can probably feel Laura Muir on her outside. At this stage she is

:05:08.:05:15.

really hurting but she is just so strong. The big thing is the work

:05:16.:05:20.

she has put in over the winter on her strength and endurance, and to

:05:21.:05:26.

put in back-to-back races, when the heats yesterday were so fast. You

:05:27.:05:33.

can see that the fatigue is just catching up with more your, she does

:05:34.:05:38.

not quite have the insurance of Weightman -- endurance. But she is

:05:39.:05:49.

not using off at all. She knows that the medal is not hers until she

:05:50.:05:56.

crosses the line. An incredibly gritty performance.

:05:57.:06:02.

She just hung in. She did. She was kicking had at that

:06:03.:06:09.

point. As Steve said she knew she was up against two of the best 1500

:06:10.:06:17.

metres runners around. And her colleagues, Laura Muir of Scotland,

:06:18.:06:33.

and Hannah England, she was just holding on down that home straight,

:06:34.:06:38.

just trying to maintain her form and stay strong. When she crossed the

:06:39.:06:44.

line, the relief and adrenaline of that well earned a silver medal.

:06:45.:06:52.

Steve Cram can give the official result of the 1500 metres. All

:06:53.:07:02.

yours! Kibiegon, taking the Commonwealth

:07:03.:07:09.

title for Kenya. A brilliant silver medal for England's Laura

:07:10.:07:23.

Weightman, and a surprise bronze medal for Kate Van Buskirk of

:07:24.:07:40.

Canada. And in the final result of the

:07:41.:07:42.

men's hammer: Great stuff. We will try to hear

:07:43.:08:13.

from Laura Weightman in the 20 minutes we have on air. First,

:08:14.:08:18.

Greco-Roman wrestling has been dropped from the programme, which is

:08:19.:08:22.

a shame, because in ancient Greece, they would fight coated in all of

:08:23.:08:28.

oil to protect them from the sun, although that may not have been

:08:29.:08:33.

necessary here! But we do have freestyle wrestling.

:08:34.:08:44.

That was a warning to the Indian for passivity. The court has come up, if

:08:45.:08:57.

the Indian does not score a point in the next 20 seconds, the opponent

:08:58.:09:05.

will be giving a point. New rules to encourage the fighters

:09:06.:09:11.

to attack, but the Indian was deemed to be passive.

:09:12.:09:21.

You just need to defend. 6-4. That is the end of round one. Vinesh,

:09:22.:09:36.

leading at the halfway point. I do not understand that, with so

:09:37.:09:41.

little time left on the clock. She would have taken the point and been

:09:42.:09:47.

in the lead. Here is the throne. Excellent, driving ahead. -- here is

:09:48.:09:58.

the throw. Back out for the second period.

:09:59.:10:02.

Three minutes to decide the gold medal. The woman's 48 K class.

:10:03.:10:18.

Vinesh, the Indian, two points up. She might not have a track record of

:10:19.:10:24.

doing well at major championships, Vinesh, but her sisters are both

:10:25.:10:30.

medallists, so that says a lot, it runs in the family. The Indian looks

:10:31.:10:50.

stronger at the moment, but there's plenty of time left on the clock.

:10:51.:11:00.

She comes in for an attack, but does not get the score. Just under two

:11:01.:11:09.

minutes to go in this gold medal match.

:11:10.:11:30.

Vinesh, the youngster, growing in confidence.

:11:31.:11:45.

She looks strong, doesn't she? She is just going to defend her lead. It

:11:46.:11:50.

does not matter if she gets penalised... But she has got the

:11:51.:11:55.

league again and takes her down for four Mac point! -- got the leg.

:11:56.:12:08.

She is going to get her onto her back! It will go to 10-8.

:12:09.:12:20.

Is that another reversal? Three points in it. 50 seconds to go in

:12:21.:12:27.

this gold medal match, can the Englishwoman pool out of this and

:12:28.:12:31.

score the three points that she needs? The referee will bring them

:12:32.:12:41.

back to their feet, which is good news for England, she needs every

:12:42.:12:48.

second to get something back here. They are giving it their all, they

:12:49.:12:55.

are so fit, these athletes. She has got 30 seconds. She needs to get out

:12:56.:13:02.

of there, she needs three points. She spins around for the take-down,

:13:03.:13:08.

she needs to get her onto her back and start scoring. The Indian

:13:09.:13:26.

hanging on for her life. Rattigen, running out of time... And the

:13:27.:13:37.

Indian has done it picks -- and the hopes and dreams of Rattigen turned

:13:38.:13:51.

into silver. Vinesh, like we say, it runs in the family. She has done

:13:52.:14:05.

it, two out of two for India. Rattigen, she looks devastated, I

:14:06.:14:10.

don't know why she went in for that throw which gave two points away.

:14:11.:14:25.

Weightman, who we are hoping to hear from shortly, though she is busy

:14:26.:14:29.

doing a selfie for everyone in the crowd, and shots taken as well, but

:14:30.:14:34.

terrific effort for Laura. She got a silver medal and apparently is

:14:35.:14:38.

trending worldwide on Twitter. And why not? Great performance.

:14:39.:14:44.

Weightlifting and the first officially organised competition

:14:45.:14:49.

took place in 1877. The first British champion was Scott Lumsden

:14:50.:14:55.

Elliott who won with a one-handed lift. History does not reveal what

:14:56.:15:01.

he did with his other hand. -- Launceston Elliott. It has been 52

:15:02.:15:08.

years since Scotland last won gold at the Commonwealth Games. But

:15:09.:15:14.

Brightman who won Silva for my three years ago was going for gold.

:15:15.:15:24.

This is where we need to see the head and heart under the bar. We

:15:25.:15:39.

sort of know already that the gold is beyond him. It will be

:15:40.:15:44.

America... Let's get this done. This lift is the only one that

:15:45.:16:01.

matters to him today. He did his best. I'm just thinking that maybe

:16:02.:16:12.

the occasion, maybe the presence, maybe the fans and family, goodness

:16:13.:16:18.

knows, but something got to him, because we know that Peter Kirkbride

:16:19.:16:24.

can do this almost on any day of the week. Only three men left in this

:16:25.:16:31.

competition, so they are all medal... They are all on the podium.

:16:32.:16:39.

It is a question of what colour. Absolutely. This athlete is almost

:16:40.:16:51.

overlooked in this competition but he is making progress lift by lift.

:16:52.:16:59.

Well... What a dance, and he held it. Not easy during those kind of

:17:00.:17:29.

dances to save weight. So what the Indian has decided is this is what

:17:30.:17:35.

our man can do, let's do it and let them see how brave and good these

:17:36.:17:42.

other two guys are. Yes, let's push them into uncomfortable territory.

:17:43.:17:46.

And the man from Papua New Guinea has not got a score on the board

:17:47.:17:58.

yet. Anything can still happen. This with the full five out of six for

:17:59.:17:59.

the lead. He can't stand up. So hard. He was

:18:00.:18:11.

trying to bounce to get out of it. Just no way to generate the force

:18:12.:18:20.

from that position. Stephen now has to put his chips on the table.

:18:21.:18:30.

A little off on the timing that you can see this weight is not his

:18:31.:18:40.

maximum. Doesn't happen with maximum weights every day. What an amazing

:18:41.:18:50.

lift there. 344, first place. So eight kilograms go on.

:18:51.:19:08.

Brilliant recovery. Very patient. Come on! Fantastic. And another

:19:09.:19:24.

amazing celebration dance. When champions are asked, champions

:19:25.:19:29.

deliver. So he's doing exactly what he needs and no more.

:19:30.:19:34.

What the fight. That was the most spectacular lift of the day so far.

:19:35.:19:51.

The champion of 94 kilos. The jury, the referee is actually saying, they

:19:52.:20:02.

are 2-1 against him. Oh, that is a touch on the knee. That is a

:20:03.:20:06.

definite touch on the knee. The audience is quiet. Here comes the

:20:07.:20:15.

official announcement. Oh! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE We have

:20:16.:20:22.

watched the video and we know that was a wrong decision. I am not sure

:20:23.:20:29.

if it really touched, though. That would be a side view to check. He

:20:30.:20:41.

has put six kilos on the bar. What this athlete needs to focus on right

:20:42.:20:46.

now is not being frustrated. He is probably feeling robbed right now if

:20:47.:20:51.

he saw the replay as well. This is for the gold medal.

:20:52.:21:00.

He is left in silver. And, as he said, he really feels robbed. Papua

:21:01.:21:15.

New Guinea, which ever way you like, whatever you think, came for the

:21:16.:21:18.

gold medal and they have got it. Strong boys, and the Scottish weight

:21:19.:21:28.

continues for a gold medal in that sport. We promised you Laura

:21:29.:21:33.

Weightman and she was one of five silver medallists for England on the

:21:34.:21:35.

track this evening. He/she is with Phil Jones.

:21:36.:21:42.

One of the biggest smiles tonight, yours after you secured a silver

:21:43.:21:49.

medal. Not far off the gold. I do not think words can describe the

:21:50.:21:52.

feeling when you cross the line and you have to medal you so desperately

:21:53.:21:57.

wanted. It is a nerve-wracking race out there and I had to put myself to

:21:58.:22:02.

the front line early on. To go around that top bend of the home

:22:03.:22:06.

straight knowing I was in gold medal position, I was hanging on for dear

:22:07.:22:11.

life, trying to close in so much on the Kenyan who one there. The

:22:12.:22:17.

feeling in the stadium, the roar of the crowd, it is an amazing feeling.

:22:18.:22:21.

What is great to see is that you have great belief in yourself and a

:22:22.:22:26.

couple of searches you put in there, you put yourself at the front in a

:22:27.:22:29.

good position to strike for a moment. I wanted to give myself the

:22:30.:22:34.

best chance of performing well. If you step off that track knowing you

:22:35.:22:37.

have done everything he possibly could, you will be happy. I am over

:22:38.:22:43.

the moon with the silver. I gave it everything I could. You signed many

:22:44.:22:51.

autographs and have many photographs taken. It looked like you enjoyed

:22:52.:22:56.

every single second. I have never had the opportunity to do a lap of

:22:57.:23:02.

honour before. It is amazing seeing the number of friends and family and

:23:03.:23:05.

friendly faces in the crowd that have come here to support me. It was

:23:06.:23:10.

great to give them a bit of time. One of the last photos was for our

:23:11.:23:14.

own Steve Cram. He commentated on your race. He coaches you. I'm not

:23:15.:23:21.

sure how he copes watching sometimes and how he deals with the emotions

:23:22.:23:25.

and the pressures. But I'm really glad I delivered and it is down to

:23:26.:23:29.

him I got this far. Hopefully it is just start for us. Congratulations.

:23:30.:23:39.

Yes, Welton, Laura. -- well done Laura.

:23:40.:23:43.

Women's boxing made its debut at the Games last night, and there are

:23:44.:23:46.

three categories - flyweight, lightweight and middleweight.

:23:47.:23:47.

Well, its been a long wait - but here we go with a bout between

:23:48.:23:51.

teenager and European bronze medallist Lauren Price,

:23:52.:23:53.

Watching this middlweweight clash was Richie Woodhall

:23:54.:23:56.

And Ronald McIntosh. We join it in Round 3.

:23:57.:24:02.

COMMENTATOR: The penultimate round. The boxer just met with a crisp

:24:03.:24:11.

right hand. Lauren Price really warming up now. And London from

:24:12.:24:18.

Deanna with three crisp shots to begin this third round. -- from

:24:19.:24:21.

Guiana. It is a change of tactics, one way

:24:22.:24:33.

of doing it. She needs to spoil P Price, do something to get inside.

:24:34.:24:38.

She can throw her shots when she is inside, there is just not much

:24:39.:24:42.

coming from London. At least she's trying to get in that jab. What

:24:43.:24:49.

London really needs to do is start pushing price back. But here, Price

:24:50.:24:57.

is growing in confidence. She is landing them very effectively. That

:24:58.:25:03.

shot just snaked through the guard of London.

:25:04.:25:11.

That is augmented by tremendous foot speed as well. That brings about a

:25:12.:25:17.

standing count. The referee could have intervened earlier for standing

:25:18.:25:29.

count. Fully warranting a standing count. 30 seconds to go in this

:25:30.:25:34.

third round. Price really upped the tempo at the start. Another standing

:25:35.:25:39.

count for London. Price barely breathing heavily.

:25:40.:25:53.

London has demonstrated to the referee that she's OK. He is

:25:54.:25:54.

satisfied. The right hand of that combination

:25:55.:26:06.

did get through. What a round of boxing produced by Lauren Price. She

:26:07.:26:11.

really did step up a gear and it increased the distance and quality

:26:12.:26:16.

that we have seen throughout this two ox is through Round 3. -- that

:26:17.:26:23.

we have seen from these two boxers through Round 3.

:26:24.:26:34.

The Welsh woman stepped up the pressure and tempo in Round 3.

:26:35.:26:40.

London has been dominated also in Round 1 and two. During the third

:26:41.:26:46.

round she was put under increasing and sustained pressure. She received

:26:47.:26:50.

two standing counts during the course of the third round.

:26:51.:26:55.

She has no answer to the 20-year-old from Wales. She has run out of

:26:56.:27:03.

resources and ideas. She is continuing to attempt to counter on

:27:04.:27:07.

the back foot, but Price picking the shots that well. -- at will.

:27:08.:27:19.

London is remaining committed. He has got to admire her fighting

:27:20.:27:23.

spirit. Price's hands are relaxed now. She's

:27:24.:27:43.

confident. She knows she can hit at will. It would be interesting to try

:27:44.:27:47.

to apply the pressure and finish her off in the fourth round.

:27:48.:27:55.

She knows she just has to keep snapping out her left jab, which is

:27:56.:28:00.

incredible. So difficult to see those jabs from

:28:01.:28:18.

the hip. Those rising jabs. London just cannot see it coming. There is

:28:19.:28:24.

the bell. No doubt about the outcome of that. The crowd delighted. Lauren

:28:25.:28:36.

Price with a virtual masterclass against Teresa London, the

:28:37.:28:44.

19-year-old from Guiana. The winner by unanimous decision and through to

:28:45.:28:48.

the quarterfinal, in the blue corner, representing Wales, Lauren

:28:49.:28:50.

Price! Olympic medallist Nicola Adams is in

:28:51.:28:58.

action tomorrow. We are past halfway at Glasgow.

:28:59.:29:15.

Today At The Games is on BBC One at 10:40pm. See you at 757 tomorrow. --

:29:16.:29:24.

CU at seven o'clock for day seven tomorrow. COMMENTATOR: It is a 1- to

:29:25.:29:33.

the New Zealand! Gold, Ben Brown, England. He takes

:29:34.:30:00.

gold for England. Going to be very tight, and Riley gets the gold. It

:30:01.:30:05.

is won by

:30:06.:30:06.
