Hello and welcome to London. The Olympic Games are now over and we

:00:28.:00:33.

have seen Joy, heartache and we have watched as Scotland's athletes

:00:33.:00:38.

have brought home medals in record numbers. It has been amazing and

:00:38.:00:42.

over the next hour we will bring you the story of Scotland's golden

:00:42.:00:47.

Games. The greatest show on earth opened at the Olympic Stadium on

:00:48.:00:57.
:00:58.:01:20.

Friday 27th July and what a show it was. Good evening, Mr Bond.

:01:20.:01:24.

declare open and the gains of London, celebrating the 30th a

:01:24.:01:34.
:01:34.:01:38.

Olympiad of the modern era. If you were looking for a great way to

:01:38.:01:42.

start the Games, how about an Olympic record courtesy of Helen

:01:42.:01:49.

Glover and Heather Stanning in the rowing. The it is fitting that the

:01:49.:01:53.

2012 Olympic regatta here in Eton Dorney gets under way with the

:01:53.:01:57.

women's pair, Helen Glover and Heather Stanning. What a story that

:01:57.:02:03.

they have been at 14 she be over the last three years. Great Britain,

:02:03.:02:09.

look pretty impressive here in his opening stage. It is long, it is a

:02:09.:02:15.

loose, it is relax, it is a pair from Great Britain. They're inside

:02:15.:02:19.

the 100m now. They can enjoy this. They are back down the course. It

:02:20.:02:25.

is a job well done. It is a job that they expected them to execute

:02:25.:02:30.

with conviction and they are doing exactly that. Into the sunlight on

:02:30.:02:36.

this first morning of the Olympic regatta, Great Britain have their

:02:37.:02:40.

first pair through to an Olympic final. Scotland's David Miller was

:02:40.:02:44.

part of the Team GB cycling road race. Mark Cavendish was the

:02:44.:02:49.

favoured, but it was to be a disappointing wait. Then wait for

:02:49.:02:54.

the first gold was still on. In the evening, at the aquatic Centre,

:02:54.:03:04.
:03:04.:03:06.

Hannah Mailey was a strong medal contender. The final of the women's

:03:07.:03:12.

400m individual medley and Great Britain there in the red hat. Do

:03:12.:03:16.

not worry too much about the first 100m, because she normally goes out

:03:16.:03:23.

a little bit slow at this time. Then, she really picks it up on

:03:23.:03:28.

that backstroke. That is how she got a silver medal at the World

:03:28.:03:38.
:03:38.:03:40.

Championships. This is absolutely amazing. Here is the Chinese

:03:40.:03:46.

contender. Look at the world record. Stephanie rise is swimming in lane

:03:46.:03:55.

number eight. Utterly extraordinary. The second race in the women's 400m

:03:55.:03:59.

individual medley here at they Olympic Games and it is a gold

:03:59.:04:07.

medal to China and a new world record to! The bronze has also gone

:04:07.:04:11.

to China and Great Britain have finishes in sixth position. I gave

:04:11.:04:17.

everything. I did not hold anything back and I am afraid that is what

:04:17.:04:20.

happened at the end of the day. I am definitely keeping a smile on my

:04:20.:04:30.
:04:30.:04:32.

face. David Carey, brilliant to see him, five. He has never made an

:04:32.:04:35.

individual final. He has got nothing to lose, so get up and

:04:35.:04:43.

enjoy it. Let us see if he can come in under the world record. It looks

:04:43.:04:48.

as if he will take this gold medal, but will he take the world record?

:04:48.:04:54.

No Chinese man has ever won an Olympic gold in the swimming pool.

:04:54.:05:04.
:05:04.:05:07.

He is absolutely brilliant. He collided in the! He is happy

:05:07.:05:17.
:05:17.:05:18.

because he won the gold medal, but he had a world record. Over at

:05:18.:05:21.

Wimbledon and Scotland's faltering start to the Games continued. The

:05:22.:05:31.
:05:32.:05:38.

Marie brothers out of the tennis doubles. -- Anne Marie brothers. He

:05:38.:05:41.

may have been frustratingly out of the doubles, but in the singles

:05:41.:05:51.

Andy Murray was sparkling. Feeling the pressure,. Josh Taylor began

:05:51.:05:54.

his Olympic campaign with a win over that his tough Brazilian

:05:54.:06:00.

opponent. Getting to work with the jab now. That is what he has to do,

:06:00.:06:09.

I just those beat and box at long range. Move your feet again now.

:06:09.:06:17.

There you go. His display was so dominant during that test event,

:06:17.:06:22.

and that his coach up in Scotland was convinced -- convinced him to

:06:22.:06:32.
:06:32.:06:33.

drop back down. They hope he did not score that shot. The referee

:06:33.:06:40.

had said break. Josh Taylor just has to see this of now. He is been

:06:40.:06:47.

instructed by the referee to engage in boxing. A good left uppercut.

:06:47.:06:51.

Inside the final 10 seconds. Josh Taylor has had a three-point lead

:06:51.:06:56.

at the conclusion of two rounds of boxing. Has he done enough to

:06:56.:07:01.

maintain or extend that advantage as the final bell sounds? A good

:07:01.:07:05.

performance and he feels that he has done enough to progress to the

:07:05.:07:15.
:07:15.:07:17.

last 16. The winner, by 13 points to nine in the blue corner is Josh

:07:17.:07:22.

Taylor from Great Britain! Josh Taylor beaming with delight after

:07:22.:07:29.

being declared the winner. A boxed the way I wanted to box. I felt

:07:29.:07:35.

tight and I felt the tension. I was here a couple of days ago and saw

:07:35.:07:43.

the finalists. I have got the ball rolling and onto the next one.

:07:43.:07:49.

tunes were next at the Badminton arena. She had won her opening

:07:49.:07:55.

singles on the opening day, but on day? And they lost their opening

:07:55.:07:59.

match. This defeat meant that they would have to beat in the number

:07:59.:08:08.

one pairing in the world to progress. Many of the most dramatic

:08:08.:08:12.

shots of the game's centred around the canoe slalom in Lee Valley just

:08:12.:08:17.

outside London. Their number's David Florence and his partner

:08:17.:08:22.

Richard Hounslow secured a semi- final place in the C2 event as did

:08:22.:08:28.

fellow Scot Tim Baillie and his team-mate Etienne Stott. Over at

:08:29.:08:32.

Eton Dorney and up the rowing regatta another Scot was in a

:08:32.:08:39.

record-breaking form. They are getting in the biggest roar of

:08:39.:08:43.

appreciation from the crowd here. They're up to the line, over safely

:08:43.:08:50.

and the crowd are on their feet. Slides are going mad. They are into

:08:50.:08:57.

the Olympic final. One race remaining, but is it. At Wimbledon,

:08:57.:09:02.

she found it tough against the Serbian opponent. If she can hang

:09:02.:09:12.
:09:12.:09:17.

on to this one,. A good first serve there and she asked the question of

:09:17.:09:23.

her. It is much point. That is a tremendous surge. She held her

:09:23.:09:30.

nerve. She also lost her doubles match and her Olympic dream was at

:09:30.:09:40.
:09:40.:09:44.

an end. Dreams were coming through in a most unexpected way. Great

:09:44.:09:51.

Britain's male gymnast won their first team medal in 100 years. He

:09:51.:10:01.
:10:01.:10:07.

was in sparkling form. Come on! He needs to remain can. -- Carillion

:10:07.:10:17.
:10:17.:10:22.

Kong. Unbelievable! What a performance from Great Britain!

:10:22.:10:27.

They finally had their hands on a silver, but an appeal from Japan it

:10:27.:10:35.

meant they finished third. However, he was all smiles. That is magic,

:10:35.:10:41.

it isn't it? It is amazing. Everyone is here supporting us, it

:10:41.:10:45.

is like him being a rock star. the joy of the Scottish medal to

:10:46.:10:55.
:10:56.:10:58.

the pain of defeat, he faced a Canadian opponent. He is really

:10:58.:11:06.

pushing into his opponent and trying to provoke a reaction. He

:11:06.:11:12.

pushed him too hard and he has been thrown. The Canadian and drops

:11:12.:11:18.

under his strong arms. That is it. That is the beauty of judo and that

:11:18.:11:24.

is a horrifying nature of judo that in a split second, he has been

:11:24.:11:29.

thrown and all the hard work and the four years of waiting and he

:11:29.:11:33.

has been dumped out in less than a couple of minutes. Britain's

:11:33.:11:37.

Olympic hopes were dashed in a moment, the realisation was hard to

:11:37.:11:42.

accept. It is very difficult to process. That was a beautiful bit

:11:43.:11:50.

of judo. If I say it is a mistake, it is a disservice to my opponent.

:11:51.:11:59.

That was a beautiful bit of judo. I feel like I have let myself down a

:11:59.:12:02.

bit, I feel like I have let my coaches down and everybody I have

:12:02.:12:12.
:12:12.:12:14.

ever trained with down. I let my mum and dad and my brother down. I

:12:14.:12:18.

have been working well for this for over a quarter of a century and I

:12:18.:12:22.

am pretty sure you will not see me in Rio. There are no positives to

:12:22.:12:27.

be taken from it. For some, it has been a difficult and disappointing

:12:27.:12:32.

journey year at London 2012 including the contender from

:12:32.:12:36.

Badminton. I know you were gutted, but can you talk us through what

:12:36.:12:40.

actually happened? Yes, we knew it it would be tough coming into the

:12:41.:12:45.

tournament. We firmly believed that we had played well and perform to

:12:45.:12:51.

the best that we can. Unfortunately, in the mixed doubles we did not

:12:51.:12:56.

perform. If you are not Committee on you again, it is difficult to

:12:56.:13:00.

progress and it did not come together for us. Team GB had now

:13:00.:13:05.

performed extremely well, which is fantastic and I am proud to be a

:13:06.:13:12.

part of that. Obviously did for me, it is personal and disappointing to

:13:12.:13:17.

go out so early. In the pool, the Scots were making finals but

:13:17.:13:25.

finding the medals so elusive. It is a massive victory. She has just

:13:25.:13:34.

done the same. Gold to the USA. A British contender came 7th. Hannah

:13:34.:13:38.

Mailey was 7th in the individual medley. But there was a sign of

:13:38.:13:47.

better things to come. I know the crowd will lift them. He is 0.8 of

:13:47.:13:53.

a second inside his British record. This is very fast indeed. We will

:13:54.:13:58.

keep an eye on the world record. The rest of the field is starting

:13:58.:14:03.

to come back again. The Japanese when there is one lane close amid

:14:03.:14:13.
:14:13.:14:13.

crowd is going absolutely nuts. Another massive British record. On

:14:13.:14:17.

the well-manicured lawn of Wimbledon at, Andy Murray was in

:14:17.:14:27.
:14:27.:14:41.

great form. Two more match points for Andy Murray. This slider to

:14:41.:14:46.

conclude and a standing ovation for Britain's signed us. Andy Murray

:14:46.:14:56.
:14:56.:14:56.

has faced a game for the quarter- finals. This was the day Scotland's

:14:56.:14:59.

athletes would completed their medal set. But for all that, Andy

:14:59.:15:09.
:15:09.:15:24.

Murray made it to the quarter- The British No. 1 is through to the

:15:24.:15:31.

quarter-final. His medal hopes are live. Scotland's Silverman and

:15:31.:15:37.

Keynes in the final of the men's 200m breaststroke. Enter Michael

:15:37.:15:47.
:15:47.:15:48.

Jamieson. Some very good starts indeed. Jamieson is starting to

:15:48.:15:53.

catch him. Michael Jaime Sin, from Glasgow and Great Britain, is

:15:53.:16:01.

coming back in the world -- at the world champion! It is a fantastic

:16:01.:16:06.

silver medal for Great Britain. Michael Jamieson, what a brilliant

:16:06.:16:11.

swim that was. Another massive British record. So, an

:16:11.:16:16.

extraordinary day in the swimming pool, a silver medal for a Scot in

:16:16.:16:23.

Team GB. Well done! Thank you. have had a wee while to think back,

:16:23.:16:29.

has it sank in? It is hard to say. On the one hand it feels like

:16:29.:16:34.

almost a lifetime ago since I finished competing. Since then, I

:16:34.:16:38.

have really been trying to soak it all up and make the most of this

:16:38.:16:42.

whole experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it, it has been such an

:16:42.:16:46.

amazing last couple of weeks. In terms of performance, I am

:16:46.:16:54.

absolutely delighted with the medal. The whole experience, the training

:16:54.:16:57.

cycles and preparation leading into this, couldn't have gone any better

:16:57.:17:04.

for me. What athletes have come up to you and said well done?

:17:04.:17:09.

biggest name is probably Rebecca Adlington! The athletes were in and

:17:09.:17:13.

out at different times, competing at different times of the day. I

:17:13.:17:17.

managed to have a sit down with the Ryan Giggs and Craig Bellamy, and

:17:17.:17:21.

some of the other guys in the football team last week, which was

:17:21.:17:26.

pretty special. I just loved the whole five and atmosphere around

:17:26.:17:31.

the village. I tried to spend some time, mingle with the other

:17:31.:17:37.

athletes that will have this kind of mutual respect. The journey, the

:17:37.:17:43.

process that goes into getting into the Olympic Games. The gold

:17:43.:17:47.

belonged to have the standing and her partner from Lossiemouth. It

:17:47.:17:55.

was Scotland's first gold, Great Britain's first gold. The final

:17:55.:18:02.

chapter of what has been a remarkable story is now under way.

:18:02.:18:08.

Great Britain are in lane number three. Alongside them, Australia.

:18:08.:18:13.

And the world champions from New Zealand are in five or. Already,

:18:13.:18:23.
:18:23.:18:24.

Great Britain have absolutely jumped out of the starting date. We

:18:24.:18:27.

have the five-time Olympic champion, but Great Britain, they mean

:18:27.:18:37.
:18:37.:18:39.

business. Great Britain into the record books! Fabulously well done!

:18:39.:18:47.

They punched the air! Great Britain are Olympic champions, it couldn't

:18:47.:18:55.

go to worthier women. Helene Glover and Heather Stanning, we stand up

:18:55.:19:01.

and we salute you. We were absolutely ecstatic. I want to

:19:01.:19:06.

collapse, but I am just so overjoyed. I am probably talking

:19:06.:19:14.

rubbish now! We were watching, and you smiled with 250 to go, they

:19:15.:19:21.

were saying, don't smile! E was probably a grimace. I remember

:19:21.:19:28.

thinking, we have never got this. Then I thought, we have got this!

:19:28.:19:33.

Leads -- ladies and gentlemen, I knew Olympic champions, not just

:19:33.:19:39.

for Great Britain, but the first time in rowing history, the British

:19:39.:19:46.

team. Great Britain have one the gold medal! -- have won the gold

:19:46.:19:56.
:19:56.:19:56.

There is no finer setting to represent your country on home

:19:57.:20:06.
:20:07.:20:12.

water, and what a magnificent time now. Heather Stanning, from a loss

:20:12.:20:21.

in both. -- Lossiemouth. That is what it means! They turn, and show

:20:21.:20:27.

their medals to the crowd. And you are not going to get two were the

:20:27.:20:36.

champions in the whole of this Olympic regatta. -- two worthier

:20:36.:20:46.
:20:46.:20:59.

The people here at Eton Dorney, joining in with the national anthem

:20:59.:21:03.

as a whole country is on its feet! Or we salute you, Helene cover and

:21:03.:21:12.

Heather Stanning, Olympic champions here! Gold and silver on day five.

:21:12.:21:22.

The basics was even better. -- des A6. At the canoe slalom, two Scots

:21:22.:21:30.

were in the final. Tim Bailey and his partner went first. This is one

:21:30.:21:36.

of the trickiest parts of the course! This is looking good for

:21:36.:21:43.

Great Britain. One upstream a date to go, it is about putting the

:21:43.:21:51.

power down. One Moorgate to go. Great Britain are flying, no

:21:51.:21:57.

penalties whatsoever. They are through the finish line! That is

:21:57.:22:01.

the fastest time we have seen on this Olympic course so far in this

:22:01.:22:09.

competition. Absolutely brilliant. Then it was the turn of Edinburgh's

:22:09.:22:15.

David Florence and Richard Hounslow. This could be gold and silver for

:22:15.:22:23.

Great Britain! Can they win it? Oh, my goodness! They have got a silver

:22:23.:22:31.

medal. There are the Olympic champions. We don't just get one,

:22:31.:22:36.

we get two metals. Absolutely incredible. And in the process,

:22:36.:22:42.

they have beaten the gritters competitors of all time. -- the

:22:42.:22:49.

greatest. But once got was about to make it five goals in a glittering

:22:49.:22:57.

Olympic career. -- one Scotsman. the middle, Jason Kenny, Sir Chris

Hoy is there. The is going to be an absolute thriller. Away we go.

:23:17.:23:24.

France are 9000 this behind already. Great Britain are leading! It is

:23:40.:23:41.

And France are on the back fault macro. -- foot. France are now not

:23:41.:23:46.

going to pull this back! The crowd are going absolutely mad! Gold

:23:46.:23:53.

medal for Great Britain! A new world record! 42.6. I don't believe

:23:53.:23:58.

what I am seen here. They are going quicker and quicker, Great Britain

:23:58.:24:05.

have one the gold for the team for sprint. -- have won the gold for

:24:05.:24:13.

the team's Ben Foster that is the 5th gold medal one in the Olympics

:24:24.:24:33.
:24:34.:24:35.

Great Britain. Philip Hindes, Jason Kenny and Chris Hoy. What an

:24:35.:24:41.

occasion for the young man, 19 years of Isles -- 19 years of age.

:24:41.:24:46.

Jason Kenny get his second a Olympic medal macro. He was in the

:24:46.:24:52.

team that one in Beijing. And Chris Hoy, his voracious appetite for

:24:52.:25:02.
:25:02.:25:36.

Josh Taylor had one his first fight in the boxing tournament, now he

:25:36.:25:46.
:25:46.:25:49.

was up against Valentino -- had won I am sorry it wasn't good enough. I

:25:49.:25:53.

gave it my best shot, he just wasn't good enough. I just want to

:25:53.:25:59.

thank everybody, my whole team, everybody in my boxing gym, my mum,

:25:59.:26:04.

my dad, my sister, my girlfriend. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't

:26:04.:26:12.

for them. Thank you. Among the good luck stories, there is always a

:26:12.:26:22.
:26:22.:26:31.

Two Scots were involved in the women's football for Team GB.

:26:31.:26:38.

Unfortunately, one of them was seriously injured in the tournament.

:26:38.:26:47.

But Little was undoubtedly one of the stars. Little cannot shoot.

:26:47.:26:54.

Horton can! 3-0! She just couldn't get her shot off, so she kept it,

:26:55.:27:02.

shoe store -- she saw where a her team-mate was. The team made it to

:27:02.:27:07.

the quarter-finals, beating Brazil, but Canada proved too strong on the

:27:07.:27:17.
:27:17.:27:18.

That was well worked! Brilliantly finished! What a good goal it was!

:27:19.:27:23.

A corner kick they have practised a lot in training. There is not much

:27:23.:27:30.

Bardsley could do. Andy Murray had a final to clear before he made it

:27:30.:27:40.
:27:40.:27:43.

to the Olympic final. The world No. There will be a medal for Andy

:27:43.:27:53.
:27:53.:28:01.

Britain beat Serbia, Andy Murray defeats to convict. He would now

:28:01.:28:07.

face Roger Federer in the battle for Olympic gold. And the tears

:28:07.:28:17.

flow again for him on Centre court. It was gold that was on the mind of

:28:17.:28:21.

Katherine Grainger, who describes herself as always the bridesmaid,

:28:21.:28:25.

after three silver medals in past Olympics. This time she and her

:28:25.:28:35.

partner, Anna Watkins, were not to be denied. Fantastic performance.

:28:35.:28:40.

It has taken 12 long years, a time of support, and the crowd are on

:28:40.:28:45.

their feet. The flags are going mad, they are into the Coliseum, it is a

:28:45.:28:49.

cacophony of noise around here. The whole of the media stand are on
