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 | :22:57. | :23:06. | |
Hoy is there. The is going to be an absolute thriller. Away we go. | :23:06. | :23:16. | |

:23:40. | :23:41. | ||
And France are on the back fault macro. -- foot. France are now not | :23:41. | :23:46. | |

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 | :28:49. | :28:55. | |
their feet, we are applauding you, Katherine Grainger and Anna | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
Watkins! But the Australian crew are pushing hard. 200, out from the | :29:01. | :29:07. | |
line. Katherine Grainger is taking up to 40 strokes a minute. This is | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
their final turn. This is their gold medal. And the crowd, | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
absolutely adoring what they are seeing now. Australia, still coming | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
hard, but ladies and gentlemen, what we are seeing it right now is | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
that dreams do come true! Great Britain's Katherine Grainger and | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
Anna Watkins are going to win a gold medal! A thought Australia | :29:31. | :29:40. | |
:29:41. | :29:44. | ||
were going to put back, they are The nation expected and Great | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
Britain delivered, Olympic champions Katherine Grainger and | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
Anna Watkins and there is not a hair out there is that are so | :29:53. | :29:59. | |
deserving of this moment. A fabulous result for Great Britain. | :29:59. | :30:05. | |
They are, at long long last, Katherine Grainger is the Olympic | :30:05. | :30:11. | |
Champion and the crowd are going mad! Wonderful performance. It was | :30:11. | :30:16. | |
as if it was meant to they, not in Sydney 12 years ago bought Athens | :30:16. | :30:26. | |
or Beijing, but the rowing course look down here at Eton Dorney and | :30:26. | :30:31. | |
saw that Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins and that there medal | :30:31. | :30:37. | |
would come in front of a home crowd. What a moment! What a moment for an | :30:37. | :30:44. | |
a Watkins and Katherine Grainger here at Eton Dorney. A very | :30:44. | :30:51. | |
personal moment on this stage. Both of you, you have made the nation | :30:51. | :31:01. | |
:31:01. | :31:07. | ||
proud. He is watching that with such pride. Katherine Grainger, of | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
a moment there for or, at she is holding it together. You are | :31:11. | :31:16. | |
holding it together, because up here we are struggling, we really | :31:16. | :31:25. | |
are struggling. A wonderful moment. It has a ring about it. Katherine | :31:25. | :31:33. | |
Grainger, Olympic Champion. We are on the telly. This is a very | :31:33. | :31:39. | |
intimate moment. How do you feel? Pride. She is pretty good and she | :31:39. | :31:44. | |
is pretty impressive. How does it feel at last to have the gold | :31:44. | :31:51. | |
medal? Is it is pretty special. Look at that. Solider. It you could | :31:51. | :32:01. | |
:32:01. | :32:01. | ||
have it as an earring. It is heavy. How would the family? We started of | :32:01. | :32:06. | |
quite cooled to begin with, but Australia kept with them and that | :32:06. | :32:12. | |
was worrying. We knew they would win, but just seeing a steady at be | :32:12. | :32:18. | |
so strong, it was worrying. When she got a nice lead, we all started | :32:18. | :32:26. | |
crying. It was brilliant. It was fantastic. The action finally made | :32:26. | :32:30. | |
it to the Olympic Stadium. It was to be a Super Saturday bought Team | :32:30. | :32:37. | |
GB, but not for the Scots involved. There was disappointment for a | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
Eilish McColgan. She was 7th in the semi-final of the 400m and finished | :32:41. | :32:49. | |

:33:07. | :33:38. | ||
entertained the crowd along the way. -- personal best. Now, as for Andy | :33:38. | :33:40. | |
Murray you would think that qualifying for the Olympic final | :33:40. | :33:45. | |
would guarantee a day off. Not a bit of it! He was an action twice | :33:45. | :33:49. | |
in the mixed doubles with Laura Robson. In the first batch they | :33:49. | :33:59. | |
:33:59. | :34:22. | ||
beat the Australians, then they faced the Germans. It is out! It is | :34:22. | :34:32. | |
:34:32. | :34:33. | ||
a medal for Andy Murray and Laura Robson! Everyone just erupted on | :34:33. | :34:38. | |
this court. What an extraordinary match! It was all going in their | :34:38. | :34:48. | |
way. It was looking easy. It is another medal for Andy Murray, | :34:48. | :34:58. | |
another gold medal match. What a match for Laura Robson. Team GB's | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
men's basketball team at lost their match against Australia. There were | :35:02. | :35:06. | |
Scots in both the men's and women's quads and it provided some | :35:06. | :35:16. | |

amazing. I am gutted for Paula Radcliffe. I would love to to have | :35:47. | :35:52. | |
been here, but it was a brilliant experience for me and hopefully a | :35:52. | :35:58. | |

golden triumph for Andy Murray! Gold for Team GB. And he finished | :37:13. | :37:21. | |
off like the champion he is. It is number one for me. The biggest win | :37:21. | :37:27. | |
of my life. This week has been incredible so far. I have had a lot | :37:27. | :37:32. | |
of fun and the support has been amazing. One more match to go, but | :37:32. | :37:41. | |
it has been unbelievable. This proud son of Dunblane, who has been | :37:41. | :37:48. | |
through so much. This is such a deserved a victory. Novak Djokovic | :37:48. | :37:53. | |
in straight sets, the world No. 2, Roger Federer in the final he | :37:53. | :37:58. | |
dismissed in less than two hours, it was gold medal tennis. There was | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
little time for celebration as one hour later he was also in action in | :38:03. | :38:10. | |

close and have played so well in the first set. Our luck was bound | :39:00. | :39:10. | |
:39:10. | :39:11. | ||
to run out at some stage. We did well, it was a good match. Weymouth | :39:11. | :39:15. | |

opportunity of a medal. Benn, Ken are Scottish medal from an unlikely | :39:37. | :39:43. | |

wait and see game, cat and mouse, however you want to say it. It will | :40:54. | :41:03. | |
be right to the wire. Peter Charles then. What will he do? Will he go | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
for clear and go for gold with three clear rounds? That will win | :41:07. | :41:16. | |
it. Or does he go for four faults in a fast time. It has got to be | :41:16. | :41:26. | |
:41:26. | :41:28. | ||
faster than 52.40 if he has a fence down. Come on! Now, the last. Down | :41:28. | :41:36. | |
here for gold. This could be the first gold for Britain. Yes, | :41:36. | :41:44. | |
Britain have got cold! Up go the arms. Unbelievable pressure and the | :41:44. | :41:49. | |
coolest man in the stadium was Peter Charles. He was foot-perfect | :41:49. | :41:59. | |
and took his time and did not touch a poll. What a piece of riding! | :41:59. | :42:08. | |

to secured his medal. There is Scott Brash. What a performance. | :42:38. | :42:41. | |

Were you OK on the podium? Are was a wreck! Is is just a so much | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
emotion. Even this afternoon, I was getting a bit overwhelmed by the | :47:32. | :47:37. | |
whole thing, you can't get away from it, you can see the Olympic | :47:37. | :47:42. | |
Stadium, the torch, you have everything in front of you. It is | :47:42. | :47:45. | |
the most spectacular venue I have ever been to, and you realise what | :47:45. | :47:51. | |
it means not just to yourself and your family, but to your whole | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
nation, it is the most incredible experience of my career, and I have | :47:55. | :48:02. | |
had at the few. You are a humble bike, and you have overtaken so | :48:02. | :48:08. | |
Steve Redgrave! What he did was when five got medals at consecutive | :48:08. | :48:14. | |
Games, it is that four year in to run, you get to the tip of the | :48:14. | :48:19. | |
iceberg, but you don't see what goes on behind it, the | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
disappointments, the doubt, and he did that five times, so for me, he | :48:23. | :48:31. | |
will always be the greatest. Will you be around in 2014 to ride in | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
your own stadium? I presume you will! That would be the dream | :48:36. | :48:43. | |
ending. It has almost been greedy to think I could do it, but ever | :48:43. | :48:48. | |
possibly can, to finish my career in Scotland, I have never raced | :48:48. | :48:54. | |
internationally in Scotland, met a back was the biggest event we have | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
ever had in Scotland, so to do it in front of a home crowd, that | :48:58. | :49:03. | |
would be special. But it is two more years and it is not easy. | :49:04. | :49:10. | |
was the perfect end to Team GB's Cycling Campaign, and almost | :49:10. | :49:16. | |
certainly to Sir Chris Hoy's Olympics adventure. In the semi- | :49:16. | :49:21. | |
finals of the women's hockey, Team GB including Emily Maguire and | :49:21. | :49:27. | |
Laura Bartlett, faced Argentina. just ran ourselves into the ground | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
to go for that win. We knew what we had to do, and we just worked so | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
hard for 70 minutes, and it wasn't quite there. You have to get off to | :49:38. | :49:42. | |
a really strong start against Argentina, you knew all about them, | :49:42. | :49:47. | |
but it didn't happen. No, we conceded that early corner, we were | :49:47. | :49:52. | |
never going to give in, and Alex's goal unfortunately came a bit too | :49:52. | :50:02. | |
:50:02. | :50:06. | ||
late, there wasn't enough time, Frustration for the Scots involved | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
are today. Lynsey Sharp admitted to technical racing errors and she | :50:10. | :50:17. | |
missed out in qualification for the 800m final. She is coming in it in | :50:17. | :50:23. | |
7th place. She might be disappointed with not running a | :50:23. | :50:26. | |
personal best, but she has given the best she possibly could, but | :50:26. | :50:33. | |
she was never in it. At Weymouth, Luke Patience had to live up to his | :50:33. | :50:39. | |
name. He and his partner had to wait another 24 hours for their 470 | :50:39. | :50:49. | |

Lee McConnell and Eilidh Child heart Team GB qualify for the final | :50:51. | :50:59. | |

:51:09. | :51:21. | ||
the hockey arena, Britain faced a The most simple penalty corner that | :51:21. | :51:27. | |
Great Britain have got. Crista Cullen, keeping the ball low, but | :51:27. | :51:31. | |
enough height of the ball to make it awkward for the goalkeeper. On | :51:31. | :51:38. | |
the balance of play, I can't see New Zealand coming back into this. | :51:38. | :51:43. | |

Down at Weymouth, every cloud had a silver lining. Well done, mate, a | :52:07. | :52:13. | |
great four years. A superbly Olympic competition. Dad will be | :52:13. | :52:18. | |
proud of you. Britain are proud of you. I Olympic silver for Great | :52:18. | :52:27. | |
Britain, but it is gold for Australia. Well, a celebration of a | :52:27. | :52:33. | |
silver rather than the despair of losing out. They will be delighted. | :52:33. | :52:38. | |
Great friends, done a lot of training together. It is a great | :52:38. | :52:42. | |
moment assured for those who are so close to them, the family's two | :52:42. | :52:47. | |
while watching success out of the water. Both boats upside down, but | :52:47. | :52:54. | |
I'm sure Rob Walker will be celebrating. It has been 15 years | :52:54. | :52:58. | |
up there, we are here, standing on the Olympic podium, it is not a | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
gold, but there is plenty of time, we are young boys, we will mean | :53:03. | :53:08. | |
business next time round! But for now, enjoy the moment. Stewart is | :53:08. | :53:17. | |
an absolute legend. So, two more medals it took Scotland's tally to | :53:17. | :53:22. | |
at seven gold, four Silva and two bronze. A record Olympic return for | :53:22. | :53:30. | |
Scottish sport. There we are, with almost 10,500 athletes, the world | :53:30. | :53:35. | |
has moved on, it is highly competitive. But Scotland, a small | :53:35. | :53:40. | |
nation, can deliver, can achieve success on the world stage. If we | :53:40. | :53:44. | |
believe in ourselves, this is something we can take forward over | :53:44. | :53:50. | |
the next two years, certainly for the Winter Olympics. And also for | :53:50. | :54:00. | |
