:00:55. > :01:12.Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your posts for tonight, Clare
:01:13. > :01:20.Balding and Mark Chapman! -- hosts.
:01:21. > :01:31.Wow! What a welcome! This is
:01:32. > :01:36.unbelievable, hello, welcome, this is Today At The Games, for the whole
:01:37. > :01:41.of the Commonwealth Games we will be based here with our studio audience
:01:42. > :01:48.in the BBC studios at Pacific tea. So nice to see so many smiling
:01:49. > :01:52.faces, clearly many of you have taken the son! It sounds great,
:01:53. > :02:04.thanks to our live band, the Veneration. -- the Federation. Do
:02:05. > :02:11.you do that every time? If she says the Federation, you do it again, do
:02:12. > :02:19.you? Does she have that power? Ladies and gentlemen, our studio
:02:20. > :02:25.band, the Federation! Oh, it is very good! Thank you! At least we know
:02:26. > :02:30.who the bosses in this studio for the next few nights. Listen, we have
:02:31. > :02:36.got a great show coming up swimming, triathlon after the opening day.
:02:37. > :02:45.Wiggo was back on the track at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome. An
:02:46. > :02:49.unbelievable day for the judo players as well. You can see that
:02:50. > :02:57.Clyde has been thrown a few times by the successful judokas, he is
:02:58. > :03:05.feeling the pain, and we have the world triathlon Stanford, two record
:03:06. > :03:13.breakers, Sir Chris Hoy and Rebecca Adlington. -- the world triathlon
:03:14. > :03:22.champion, Non Stanford. You can get involved on Twitter and social
:03:23. > :03:25.media, it is on the screen, #TonightAtTheGames, it doesn't leave
:03:26. > :03:29.you much room to fit in the rest of the characters! Please get in touch
:03:30. > :03:30.with any questions for our medallists or guests, we will
:03:31. > :03:34.with any questions for our medallists or guests, we try to put
:03:35. > :03:38.them to you. Let's get on with rounding up everything that has
:03:39. > :03:42.happened today. The first medals were won in the triathlon, the
:03:43. > :03:47.women's and men's competitions, and we sent down our very own Katherine
:03:48. > :03:50.Grainger to report. I am here at Strathclyde Country
:03:51. > :03:55.Park about 40 miles south-east of Glasgow city centre, a place I am
:03:56. > :03:59.very familiar with, the home of Scottish rowing. For today it has
:04:00. > :04:02.been transformed into a venue for the Commonwealth triathlon. It is
:04:03. > :04:14.fair to say that this is one to watch. Take your marks... Lucy
:04:15. > :04:23.Holland, Jodie Stimpson lead them out of the water. 1500 metres from
:04:24. > :04:28.the course, what a fantastic start for Team England. Lucy Hall having a
:04:29. > :04:34.bit of a go. If she has got any chance of getting into the medals,
:04:35. > :04:40.she has got to ride hard. The other group slightly taken aback by that
:04:41. > :04:46.audacious move. The athletes are coming in now, the second last lap
:04:47. > :04:51.of the bike ride, there is a 32nd gap, but the whole group as eaten it
:04:52. > :04:57.back up again. Jodie Stimpson is in that group. Vicky Holland is making
:04:58. > :05:00.a break for it. She is first to come off the line. Three appear to be
:05:01. > :05:06.struggling, one of them is Lucy Hall, one of the New Zealanders as
:05:07. > :05:14.well unable to match the early pace injected by Jodie Stimpson. Stimpson
:05:15. > :05:21.keeps focus in front. And Stimpson appears to be moving it up yet
:05:22. > :05:25.another gear. Onto the final stages of the Commonwealth Games
:05:26. > :05:30.triathlon, and Stimpson is in first position for England! What an
:05:31. > :05:35.amazing, rapturous ovation for Jodie Stimpson, the first-ever English
:05:36. > :05:39.Commonwealth champion for triathlon. She missed out at the London
:05:40. > :05:44.Olympics, she has made up for it in spades, a stunning performance. All
:05:45. > :05:49.my family are there, it means so much, it is so many people's medal,
:05:50. > :05:55.they are all here today, it is awesome. Did you think it could be
:05:56. > :05:58.your title? That is the role for my coach, you have a check list, and if
:05:59. > :06:03.you check the list, you are people in front at the start, and at the
:06:04. > :06:08.finish line if you have done a good job, I checked off my list and
:06:09. > :06:12.finished on top of it, so yeah, it is awesome! After the women's race,
:06:13. > :06:18.all eyes were on the brilliant Brownlee brothers. They are happy to
:06:19. > :06:23.be in the cool waters of the loch here, and the pace is significant,
:06:24. > :06:26.with every swimmer taking his turn at the start. Along with the
:06:27. > :06:32.Brownlee brothers, a couple of Scottish athletes, coming out of the
:06:33. > :06:37.water in front. The South African leading out of the water, but in
:06:38. > :06:43.transition a familiar story as Jonny and Alistair were right alongside.
:06:44. > :06:48.One athletes down. Is that Schoeman? Yes, it was, and then there were
:06:49. > :06:53.three. There has been another break at the front, Marc Austin has been
:06:54. > :06:59.dropped by the Brownlee brothers, disappointment for the Scottish
:07:00. > :07:06.crowd. All going to plan for the brothers from Yorkshire, leading the
:07:07. > :07:10.way in. All to play for in the run. Alistair has had another kick away
:07:11. > :07:15.from his younger brother, and this one is unmatched at the moment. A
:07:16. > :07:21.flight in each and for Alistair Brownlee, and it will be an English
:07:22. > :07:28.triathlon double. -- a flag in each hand. Alistair said this was his one
:07:29. > :07:36.goal this year, and he delivered in style. We have so much time at the
:07:37. > :07:41.end that he managed to grab English and Yorkshire flags. This was the
:07:42. > :07:43.one left in the set of unfinished titles, so it is fantastic, I am
:07:44. > :07:55.really pleased. Pretty impressive, two gold medals,
:07:56. > :08:01.a silver and bronze, who was there? You were there! I was at the
:08:02. > :08:06.triathlon today, can you tell?! No, you have got so much powder on! Non
:08:07. > :08:12.Stanford was there, the reigning world champion, very disappointing
:08:13. > :08:16.you weren't competing, but what a spectacle to watch and enjoy. It was
:08:17. > :08:21.absolutely amazing, and I was devastated not to be able to race,
:08:22. > :08:27.but to be part of it and experienced the atmosphere was fantastic. What a
:08:28. > :08:31.day, England already had four medals, and I train with a lot of
:08:32. > :08:35.those guys, and it was really quite emotional watching them do so well.
:08:36. > :08:40.We can look at the finish of the women's race the first gold medal of
:08:41. > :08:45.the Games to Jodie Stimpson. Vicky Holland did really well, you know
:08:46. > :08:50.her well. And this last bit, I mean, she kept going, whereas we saw in
:08:51. > :08:54.Alistair Brownlee's race, he stopped, he could walk over the
:08:55. > :09:02.line, but Jodie Stimpson is going for it. She fights in every race
:09:03. > :09:06.through Jodie Stimpson style, fantastic to watch. I arrived after
:09:07. > :09:09.the women's race had finished, and I went to talk to Vicky Holland,
:09:10. > :09:20.expecting her to be shattered and wanting to relax, but she was still
:09:21. > :09:25.incredibly pumped up, timing the men's transitions. She still wanted
:09:26. > :09:28.to immerse herself in it. She was on cloud nine, riding on the crest of
:09:29. > :09:35.that, a massive breakthrough race for oh, absolutely over the moon. I
:09:36. > :09:42.was more emotional watching her wind and when I won the World
:09:43. > :09:46.Championships. And what about the Brownlee brothers? They are in a
:09:47. > :09:50.class of their own, they absolutely destroyed that field today, and it
:09:51. > :09:55.was classic Alistair Brownlee, and it is great to see him back there.
:09:56. > :09:59.That is how we love to see him race, he is so dominant, and Jonny was
:10:00. > :10:05.pretty impressive at the finish line, absolutely spent on the floor,
:10:06. > :10:09.covered in ice. They put themselves to the limit. I asked Jonny what
:10:10. > :10:13.Alistair had said to him, and he said, we smashed it, I know it
:10:14. > :10:18.sounds ridiculous when they are brothers, but they see themselves as
:10:19. > :10:22.a team, even when one wins and the other finishes second. Without a
:10:23. > :10:26.doubt, they do all that training together, they have grown up
:10:27. > :10:30.together doing that, and every race they work together, and that is why
:10:31. > :10:36.they are so successful at the end of the day. Two of them always have
:10:37. > :10:39.someone to rely on. We had a strange situation where we were talking to
:10:40. > :10:45.Alistair, Jonny was lying on the floor between us, getting the ice
:10:46. > :10:50.and water treatment, because he was so hot. It is not as hot in here but
:10:51. > :10:53.it was boiling! Good to see him doing the interview with Gary
:10:54. > :10:59.Lineker, talking about the team competition, what a strong line-up
:11:00. > :11:04.for Saturday. At 12:30, England are going to run away with it, barring
:11:05. > :11:07.anything happening. I think they are definitely be clear favourites, two
:11:08. > :11:14.goals, a silver and a bronze between them. I would put my money on them,
:11:15. > :11:18.for sure! You won't get great odds! Thank you for coming to talk to us,
:11:19. > :11:23.we will talk to you on Saturday as well. Everybody thought that the
:11:24. > :11:26.first Scottish gold medals were going to come in the pool this
:11:27. > :11:29.evening. That was where a lot of people were going to focus their
:11:30. > :11:37.attention. Well, judo got there first.
:11:38. > :11:42.Well, I have heard from a reliable source that she is absolutely a
:11:43. > :11:55.firestarter! She has done it! That is it! A
:11:56. > :11:59.standing ovation for the crowd, they have got their first gold medal in
:12:00. > :12:07.Scotland. Can they do the double, her and her sister?! Louise Renicks
:12:08. > :12:12.will be hoping that she can emulate her sister, it is going to be a bit
:12:13. > :12:19.of a catfight, I think, this. I think she's Mells blood. This is
:12:20. > :12:25.going to go to a golden score. We have got another one, this will be
:12:26. > :12:34.interesting. Renicks gets the gold, second gold for the Renicks sisters.
:12:35. > :12:42.I love this look of determination from these girls, they are in it to
:12:43. > :12:49.win it. There it is, waza-ari scored. Now down onto the tatami.
:12:50. > :12:59.She just needs to hold for 15 seconds. Unless she can bend
:13:00. > :13:05.herself, I cannot see it getting out of that. She won't do. Nekoda Davis
:13:06. > :13:11.looking for it all the time. She wins it.
:13:12. > :13:22.Here we go, the final of the under 60 kilograms category. Oh! That is a
:13:23. > :13:31.waza-ari scored. I think the referee was halfway... Yes, he does not
:13:32. > :13:32.know! Waza-ari, for sure. It cannot be a ippon. Ashley McKenzie wins the
:13:33. > :13:41.gold. Colin Oates going for the
:13:42. > :13:54.Commonwealth gold medal. Can he be stopped? Oh! That is going to be it,
:13:55. > :14:04.yuko scored. It is all over, Colin Oates, transition absolutely superb.
:14:05. > :14:10.So that is what happened. When the first gold-medal was won, we
:14:11. > :14:14.thought, we would get the judo gold medallist in. We have ended up with
:14:15. > :14:19.five of them, we need a very wide red carpet, please go mad, we are
:14:20. > :14:23.bringing them all on together, please welcome Kimberley Renicks,
:14:24. > :14:26.Louise Renicks, Ashley McKenzie, Colin Oates and Nekoda Davis!
:14:27. > :15:06.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE even give them all a Mike! What a
:15:07. > :15:13.day for judo. Kimberly and Louise, I am going to start with you. You two
:15:14. > :15:17.are sisters. Presumably, you started not fighting with each other when
:15:18. > :15:28.you were younger, that would sound wrong, but actually wanting to be
:15:29. > :15:37.judokas? I was four and she was 11. Our dad ran a club. I was dragged
:15:38. > :15:41.along. There was some playful fighting in the house. Then it
:15:42. > :15:47.transferred over. We started getting results and it took off from there.
:15:48. > :15:54.How did it feel today to win a gold medal in front of your home crowd?
:15:55. > :15:59.The crowd was just behind you so much. Did you go to bed last night
:16:00. > :16:05.thinking, I could win Scotland's first gold medal? Yes, it was one of
:16:06. > :16:08.the once, we had a look at the draw for the finals. We worked out judo
:16:09. > :16:11.would be the first final for the finals. We worked out judo
:16:12. > :16:20.would be the first and if I got the final then I would get the first
:16:21. > :16:23.medal. What has dad said? He's really proud. They are already
:16:24. > :16:36.emotional and they said we could do it. You rounded everything off,
:16:37. > :16:43.didn't you? Does it increase the pressure or do not even know? MA do
:16:44. > :16:48.joke before the final started, that we all came together and said, what
:16:49. > :16:54.if we all get to the final. I said, it will be really funny for the
:16:55. > :16:59.person going last. And then I worked it out that I would be last. I said,
:17:00. > :17:06.if I get that far, I have got to win gold. This for you works nicely into
:17:07. > :17:13.your readers cycle, is this part of the plan? Yes, I have kind of done a
:17:14. > :17:17.block. I have done this and then I will be back into another training
:17:18. > :17:22.block. This has fitted in quite perfect. It has given me the
:17:23. > :17:27.confidence as well to finish off the rest of the year. When we talk
:17:28. > :17:33.pressure, do you feel pressure, did you feel pressure going into it,
:17:34. > :17:38.Colin? You were the favourite. It is a different kind of pressure. In my
:17:39. > :17:45.weight category, I am ranked quite highly in the world. Sometimes, you
:17:46. > :17:49.are under pressure because it is the major tournaments and this is more
:17:50. > :17:54.an expectation. There is a lot of expectation for myself and Ashley as
:17:55. > :18:01.well. It is sometimes quite tough to cope with that. We do some work with
:18:02. > :18:08.some guys and there is a good amount of support to help us cope. Ashley,
:18:09. > :18:15.who was it that got you started on the judo route? There is a little
:18:16. > :18:23.story. You are allowed to tell it! We are all here. I was hoping
:18:24. > :18:28.Pok?mon cards with a guy on the street and he took it off me and did
:18:29. > :18:37.not give it back. I said, what is going on here and I got Lampert. I
:18:38. > :18:43.said, this is not working. So I went home and judo came up. I went to the
:18:44. > :18:48.judo club and there he was with my card flashing it. I said, that is my
:18:49. > :18:54.card. He was helping me for my gradings and I am here today. What
:18:55. > :19:04.has happened to him now? He's still my friend. He is up there. When you
:19:05. > :19:14.won, you ripped your abs and pointed to your six-pack. I meant to point
:19:15. > :19:20.to the England badge. Oh, yes! When you have a six-pack, it is difficult
:19:21. > :19:24.to know. Nobody is going to believe that. I am going to find the people
:19:25. > :19:32.in the audience who know our girls very well. We have a brother and a
:19:33. > :19:39.boyfriend of Kim and Louise Renicks. Where are we? You are at the bar,
:19:40. > :19:43.that is a surprise! First things first, otherwise this could be a
:19:44. > :19:47.very embarrassing conversation, which one is brother and which one
:19:48. > :19:54.is boyfriend? Tom is the brother and Andy the boyfriend. The obvious
:19:55. > :20:01.question is, did they throw you around as well? They tried to but
:20:02. > :20:15.always failed! Are you in judo as well? No. You No Wade e-fit in the
:20:16. > :20:23.age range? I'm in the middle. Louise is the big sister and Kim is the
:20:24. > :20:27.younger sister. Where you nervous? When Kimberly won her fight, I was
:20:28. > :20:33.really nervous and then I could not eat my lunch because I was so
:20:34. > :20:40.nervous. Did you have problems with your food as well? I do not normally
:20:41. > :20:45.leave a sandwich but I did. Can you explain what you felt when you were
:20:46. > :20:51.watching? It was nerves but when they got it it was massive pride.
:20:52. > :20:56.They have worked so hard for what they have got. When Louise got on
:20:57. > :21:03.the podium, the smile on her face, that is the last two years of hard
:21:04. > :21:09.work. It was brilliant, really good. So glad it worked out for you. They
:21:10. > :21:15.may have struggled to eat but they do not seem to have had problems
:21:16. > :21:18.drinking will stop funny that! Ladies and gentlemen, our gold medal
:21:19. > :21:26.winning judokas from England and Scotland.
:21:27. > :21:30.Meanwhile, there was history to be made and records to be broken at the
:21:31. > :21:42.Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and at the centre of it all was Jill Douglas.
:21:43. > :21:48.This was the hottest ticket in town two years ago in London and it is no
:21:49. > :21:54.different in Glasgow. Everyone wants a seat in the theatre of dreams. No
:21:55. > :22:02.Sir Chris Hoy racing in the velodrome that has his name. But the
:22:03. > :22:09.Bradley Wiggins was back racing in the team pursuit for England.
:22:10. > :22:21.And away they go, let battle commence! 11 laps to go now and
:22:22. > :22:26.England are 1.5 seconds behind. They need to claw their way back into
:22:27. > :22:43.this. You get a feeling it will take a mammoth effort from Wiggins Clancy
:22:44. > :22:48.to do so. Still two seconds a gap. Edmondson round the banking for one
:22:49. > :22:54.final time. Into the finishing straight. This will be a decisive
:22:55. > :22:57.win for Australia. It is a sensational time! We thought they
:22:58. > :23:03.had got more in the tank and my word, they had. It is a Commonwealth
:23:04. > :23:08.Games record. So Bradley Wiggins and England have to settle for silver.
:23:09. > :23:14.You cannot win all the time. Four weeks ago we sat in a room for the
:23:15. > :23:22.first time and we'll said, where do you think we're and where can we get
:23:23. > :23:27.in Glasgow? We have had limited preparation. We will look back on
:23:28. > :23:31.two years with medals around our neck and say, this was a start point
:23:32. > :23:37.for us all. That is what it is all about.
:23:38. > :23:41.In the 500 metres women's time trial, Australia's Queen of the
:23:42. > :23:47.track, Anna Meares was making history.
:23:48. > :23:54.Will she cling onto gold? Here comes Anna Meares over the line. It is a
:23:55. > :24:00.games record. She wins gold for Australia, her fifth Commonwealth
:24:01. > :24:06.Games gold in an illustrious career. England's Jess varnish picked up the
:24:07. > :24:11.bronze medal and Steph Morton took silver but it was Anna Meares who
:24:12. > :24:15.entered the record books. In the qualifiers for the men's team sprint
:24:16. > :24:19.earlier in the day, England had set their stall out by breaking the
:24:20. > :24:25.Commonwealth record. Their New Zealand showed they were also in the
:24:26. > :24:30.mood for record-breaking. Gold for New Zealand. The Commonwealth Games
:24:31. > :24:36.record has gone! What a fantastic opening day at the velodrome.
:24:37. > :24:40.Commonwealth Games records tumbling. The pursuit team have picked up a
:24:41. > :24:47.silver medal and they are already planning ahead for Rio.
:24:48. > :24:52.That was not the end in the velodrome and we will come back to
:24:53. > :25:00.that. Now let's get the views of an 11 time Paralympic champion and a
:25:01. > :25:19.six time champion. Please welcome Sir Chris Hoy and Sarah Storey.
:25:20. > :25:29.CHEERING That was nearly horrendous. There
:25:30. > :25:36.were people falling over citys. There is an awful lot to talk about.
:25:37. > :25:45.First, for my breakfast tomorrow, could you just open my jam, that
:25:46. > :25:50.would be great! Your wife did tweet about it. She did. It was one of
:25:51. > :25:55.those things, I was standing there last night. You have got a little
:25:56. > :26:02.earpiece in. I thought I had done my job and it was over and then I heard
:26:03. > :26:06.a voice saying, somebody help in! So I went in but I did not know what to
:26:07. > :26:12.do. It was not as if I had the miracle instructions about how to
:26:13. > :26:18.open the baton. As far as we are concerned, you solved the problem.
:26:19. > :26:23.You are the go to man. In a crisis, you go to Chris Hoy. The other funny
:26:24. > :26:26.thing that happened, that was worryingly funny, the other funny
:26:27. > :26:32.thing was when you went to the velodrome named after you, what did
:26:33. > :26:36.they do? It was this morning and it was a little bit blown out of
:26:37. > :26:40.proportion. I came in and I had the path on but it was back to front. As
:26:41. > :26:45.I walked through the doorway, a lady said, can I check your pass. Turned
:26:46. > :26:54.it round, new go and I did not think any more about it. But somebody
:26:55. > :26:57.behind me was with the BBC and they spotted it. They put it on Twitter.
:26:58. > :27:00.Before you know it, it is in the papers. This poor woman was just
:27:01. > :27:09.doing her job and she was accused of stopping me from coming into my
:27:10. > :27:15.velodrome. Let's talk about cycling. Let's start with Anna Meares. The
:27:16. > :27:19.third consecutive women's title and she has won medals at four
:27:20. > :27:26.Commonwealth Games. She is an incredible woman. She's just a
:27:27. > :27:30.legend. It was amazing to see her in that velodrome today, storming
:27:31. > :27:35.around and winning again. There is an awful lot of stuff being talked
:27:36. > :27:41.about so Bradley Wiggins but how difficult do think it has been for
:27:42. > :27:46.him to go from road back to track? It is completely different. A
:27:47. > :27:50.three-week grand tour and a four K pursuit, completely different. But
:27:51. > :27:54.he has started on the track and it sounds like from his interviews
:27:55. > :28:00.today he would like to wrap it up on the track as well. He gave a great
:28:01. > :28:07.quote: I do not want to sound like Roy Hodgson but there were plenty of
:28:08. > :28:10.positives. We are obviously disappointed but Rio is the goal for
:28:11. > :28:13.this team and we are obviously disappointed but Rio is the goal for
:28:14. > :28:16.this team and we're only that is the point.
:28:17. > :28:23.Always with cycling, whether it is England, Scotland, Wales or Northern
:28:24. > :28:28.Ireland, it is about recycling. It is but you have to remember this is
:28:29. > :28:37.the Commonwealth Games, it is a massive event. Dashmack it is about
:28:38. > :28:43.the cycling. They were quite upbeat about it. They were really quite
:28:44. > :28:48.happy. They do not want to lose but they came second and it is a step
:28:49. > :28:54.towards Rio. Tonight, they have a silver Commonwealth Games medal in
:28:55. > :29:00.their hands and that is special. How pleased were you with the way they
:29:01. > :29:06.rode? Records being broken left, right and centre. The crowds got
:29:07. > :29:10.behind all the riders. That is nice when it is not just the home team. I
:29:11. > :29:13.think tomorrow will be even better. But I say that because I am a
:29:14. > :29:20.sprinter and I like to watch the sprinting. What, for each of you was
:29:21. > :29:25.the performance on day one? For me, it is hard to look past Anna Meares.
:29:26. > :29:28.The time she took out after the London Olympics and then she came
:29:29. > :29:36.back to it, that is not easy to do. I think she did bury well. I would
:29:37. > :29:39.pick that as my favourite. I think I would take the performance from the
:29:40. > :29:44.English girls. Sophie Thornhill on the rear of the tandem, she is 18
:29:45. > :29:52.years old. She goes to the same high school I went to last century! There
:29:53. > :29:58.are amazing riders. Piloted by Helen Scott who has nearly won a gold
:29:59. > :30:04.medal. Anna Meares was my second of the day, the first was Scotland
:30:05. > :30:04.winning the tandem. APPLAUSE
:30:05. > :30:21.. Commonwealth Games debut, and the
:30:22. > :30:25.first event was the B tandem, where blind or partially sighted ride is
:30:26. > :30:29.copied by a fully sighted ride, and it came down to a cross-border
:30:30. > :30:33.battle, England and Scotland making it to best of three final where
:30:34. > :30:38.Sophie Thornhill road with Helen Scott against Scotland's Aileen
:30:39. > :30:43.McGlynn, former Paralympic I'm trial champion, and Louise Haston. The
:30:44. > :30:51.first race went all the way to the line. -- time trial champion. 1-0,
:30:52. > :30:58.England, could the Scots pushed it to a decider? Aileen McGlynn giving
:30:59. > :31:01.it everything she has got, but Helen Scott and Sophie Thornhill at too
:31:02. > :31:07.much speed for them, and it is gold for England, gold for world champion
:31:08. > :31:16.Sophie Thornhill, piloted by Helen Scott.
:31:17. > :31:29.England! A gold medal as well for England.
:31:30. > :31:43.Please welcome Aileen McGlynn and Louise Haston! Many congratulations.
:31:44. > :31:50.Sophie, first off, talk us through how you felt today went. Well, it
:31:51. > :31:54.went very well! Yeah, no, we came into it this morning, thinking we
:31:55. > :32:00.have to be confident in our ability, trust in what we can do, and we went
:32:01. > :32:04.through the processes. We looked to qualify first in the 200, that is
:32:05. > :32:08.where you want to be in a competition like this, and it stood
:32:09. > :32:12.us in good stead for the rest of the competition. Helen, were you happy
:32:13. > :32:18.with the way everything was executed? I know you like the
:32:19. > :32:23.detail, every top sports woman does. Definitely, the preparation has been
:32:24. > :32:34.fantastic, we were putting in PBS macro in training. -- PBs. We are
:32:35. > :32:38.often very critical, so I said, we had a little wobble, the pressure
:32:39. > :32:44.was on me to keep us going in the right direction! But it all turned
:32:45. > :32:48.out OK in the end. And it is slightly odd, isn't it, because
:32:49. > :32:56.people have had to swap pilots for this? Yeah, you two won Paralympic
:32:57. > :33:01.silver together, and yet because you split the home nations, you have to
:33:02. > :33:06.change partners. It has been good, though, I have been riding with
:33:07. > :33:10.Louise Fors seven months now, not a long time together, but we have
:33:11. > :33:17.gelled really well, it has not been difficult. Does that put more
:33:18. > :33:21.pressure on you? I have never been more petrified! Obviously, she has
:33:22. > :33:27.got the experience, the biggest competition for me was the British
:33:28. > :33:32.Championships with just a handful of people in the crowd. Did you sleep
:33:33. > :33:38.last night? I did, for the first time ever. And how did she do?
:33:39. > :33:42.Really good, she has not had a lot of sprinting experience, but really
:33:43. > :33:48.pleased. This is the first time you have won the Scottish trip, raised
:33:49. > :33:52.for Scotland. I have been competing for 12 years at international level,
:33:53. > :33:57.this is the first time I have represented Scotland, so I am really
:33:58. > :34:02.proud. I noticed on your Twitter profile, don't look scared, it is
:34:03. > :34:06.not that bad! You said, if you could have chosen a name for yourself, you
:34:07. > :34:14.would like to be called Beyonce. Who wouldn't?! You and me both,
:34:15. > :34:19.honestly! Do you do a few Beyonce moves? Don't
:34:20. > :34:26.worry! We have got a band here, you know! Just on a quick one, to all of
:34:27. > :34:33.you, how much of a difference do you think it has made to have cycling as
:34:34. > :34:38.an event that you can take part in in the Commonwealth Games? Oh, it
:34:39. > :34:43.has been great, still have our sport on the same level as the able-bodied
:34:44. > :34:48.guys, showing off that we are just as fast, we train just as hard, and
:34:49. > :34:57.we put on a great show today, and hopefully we can build on that in
:34:58. > :35:02.future games to come. Was the atmosphere more special than
:35:03. > :35:06.anywhere else? Yeah, to have the Scottish support cheering us on was
:35:07. > :35:10.immense, really pleased, I would like to thank everyone who came
:35:11. > :35:13.along to the velodrome. I think everyone here would like to thank
:35:14. > :35:17.you for terrific performances in winning gold and silver, thank you!
:35:18. > :35:40.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Some other stories from today, and
:35:41. > :35:49.there was an India 1-2 in the women's 48 kilograms weightlifting.
:35:50. > :35:56.The English athlete was fifth. The netball began with defeats for two
:35:57. > :36:02.of the home nations, Northern Ireland lost against Malawi, Wales
:36:03. > :36:11.Los Ticos the Australians, running out... Wales lost to the
:36:12. > :36:17.Australians. South Africa thrashed Trinidad and Tobago 16-0, the second
:36:18. > :36:22.biggest victory in Commonwealth history.
:36:23. > :36:26.And one more thing to tell you is that India also won a gold medal in
:36:27. > :36:27.the men's weightlifting. I was at the pool earlier, what a night of
:36:28. > :36:46.action! Hannah Miley looking set for this
:36:47. > :36:49.one. The start of the women's 400m individual medley. Well, it is
:36:50. > :36:55.faster than Hannah Miley has ever gone out before. The crowd are going
:36:56. > :37:00.nuts! She is looking to the left, the right, sorry, it looks like she
:37:01. > :37:04.has got it. Well, let's not give it up yet, this is very tough, the
:37:05. > :37:10.atmosphere is extraordinary, the Scottish team is on their feet, the
:37:11. > :37:14.crowd is on their feet, no Scottish person has won a gold medal in the
:37:15. > :37:21.swimming pool in Scotland! Hannah Miley is streaking away, a brilliant
:37:22. > :37:27.swim, the British record is going to be... She has got the gold, she wins
:37:28. > :37:28.gold for Scotland, what a start for the Commonwealth Games here in
:37:29. > :37:42.Glasgow! This is a great race, a world-class
:37:43. > :37:45.field, world-class 400m. Cochran is defending his title, I would be
:37:46. > :37:51.really surprised if he gets it, but the momentum is with him. He is
:37:52. > :37:55.coming back very fast, he is overtaking David McKeon on, he has
:37:56. > :37:58.won it, just an incredible swim, absolutely brilliant! It wasn't even
:37:59. > :38:12.close! What a test for this young lady,
:38:13. > :38:23.18-year-old Siobhan-Marie Our Conor of England. -- Siobhan-Marie
:38:24. > :38:28.O'Connor. She must have taken about half a metre off the Australian and
:38:29. > :38:33.has kept going. It is all down to the last 20 metres. The rest of the
:38:34. > :38:37.field coming back very fast, make the own of Australia is going to get
:38:38. > :38:44.it, Siobhan-Marie oh, is coming back. -- Siobhan-Marie O'Connor.
:38:45. > :38:59.What a great swim that is from her. The world record is held by Rowan
:39:00. > :39:05.Crothers of Australia, the 16-year-old, can he get close to the
:39:06. > :39:10.time? 54.95, he has done it by over half a second, a new world record
:39:11. > :39:14.for the men in the S9 100m freestyle, he breaks his own world
:39:15. > :39:28.record, Rowan Crothers of Australia. Murdoch, Jamieson, I hope the two of
:39:29. > :39:33.them push each other. A great, clean start, and the crowd, a huge roar as
:39:34. > :39:39.they started off, Ross Murdoch looking brilliant at the moment. The
:39:40. > :39:45.20 old from stilling University is coming through, he is coming away.
:39:46. > :39:49.-- the 20-year-old from Stirling University. He is going to take the
:39:50. > :39:56.gold for Scotland, and utterly brilliant swim! Look at that, he is
:39:57. > :40:02.just realising what he has done! A new British record. There is no way
:40:03. > :40:06.that just happened, absolutely no way, I can't believe it. That was
:40:07. > :40:09.amazing, just to have that in the last 100, with those guys in the
:40:10. > :40:21.stand, amazing, a dream come true! They are ahead of the time, the time
:40:22. > :40:27.that we are looking for, she has to go 3:31.72, she has got it, I am
:40:28. > :40:29.sure, yes, she has, my goodness, by three quarters of a second, a huge
:40:30. > :40:40.world record! That is what has happened today, our
:40:41. > :40:44.crowd liked Ross Murdoch's reaction, but let's talk about Hannah Miley, a
:40:45. > :40:52.relieved and tired man, Patrick Miley, her dad, everybody. I walked
:40:53. > :40:58.over here and we had a little chat, and he said, what do you need from
:40:59. > :41:02.me? Are you feeling drained? Yes, I am feeling pretty tired at the
:41:03. > :41:07.moment but really happy, obviously. It is not just about tonight, is it?
:41:08. > :41:12.There is a whole process behind getting too tonight. A huge process,
:41:13. > :41:16.and the story from our perspective is huge for us. It may not be
:41:17. > :41:20.interesting to others, but it has been a long journey. It is huge and
:41:21. > :41:25.it is interesting, that is one of the beauties of Games like this, we
:41:26. > :41:30.have had so many great stories, and we have focused a lot on siblings. I
:41:31. > :41:37.know when you are coaching and that it training partners are her
:41:38. > :41:42.brothers. Yes, she trains in a small club north of Aberdeen, they all
:41:43. > :41:53.worked really hard. Did that impetus come from you, or did they ask? The
:41:54. > :41:57.hard work? The impetus to use her brothers as well. Well, they were
:41:58. > :42:02.around about her, she will always race and train against people who
:42:03. > :42:06.are faster than her, so she has to work harder. A lot of the training
:42:07. > :42:09.is done on our own, so when she has others in, she gets excited about
:42:10. > :42:14.having a bit of head to head work with them. On eight nights like
:42:15. > :42:19.tonight, very quickly, you are watching is a dad and a coach or
:42:20. > :42:26.just a dad? A bit of both, definitely. More dad than coach?
:42:27. > :42:32.Sometimes. We can see you on the screen as you are watching it.
:42:33. > :42:43.Yeah, that is me. Now, that is watching as a dad. That is watching
:42:44. > :42:48.as a dad. Nobody told me about that! We have to have that, I will get you
:42:49. > :42:54.a drink from the bar. Clare! A brilliant reaction, like Ross
:42:55. > :42:58.Murdoch, we will reflect on both with two-time Commonwealth champion
:42:59. > :42:59.and two time Olympic champion, Rebecca Adlington is here!
:43:00. > :43:33.APPLAUSE There you go! Is that the best
:43:34. > :43:38.welcome you have had so far? I think that is the best welcome I have ever
:43:39. > :43:43.had! What a night! It has been incredible, good all round, watching
:43:44. > :43:48.you guys, the whole show, the whole day has been amazing. The swimming
:43:49. > :43:53.pool is extra special, because we did not have the best Olympics ever
:43:54. > :43:57.is so nice that we are getting loads of medals, the Scots doing so well
:43:58. > :44:02.as well. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:44:03. > :44:08.Hannah Miley starting things in style, Ross Murdoch, I missed his
:44:09. > :44:11.medal ceremony, which I understand was really emotional. I think it was
:44:12. > :44:16.always going to be for a number of reasons. I just loved when he
:44:17. > :44:21.finished and he was in utter shock! I can't believe that just happened!
:44:22. > :44:26.He was not gloating at all, and that helped Michael, he was so upset. It
:44:27. > :44:30.was really nice, because he really deserved it and worked so hard, and
:44:31. > :44:35.he was so shocked himself, and I think it was a nice moment for both
:44:36. > :44:39.of them, actually. Look at him, oh no! Just let it happen! Just feel
:44:40. > :44:48.the moment! I mean, this is absolutely
:44:49. > :44:58.encapsulating how much it means to win a gold medal at your home games.
:44:59. > :45:04.And it is the start of his career. He has come on so much over the last
:45:05. > :45:08.year. He has still got the 100 metres to go which I think is his
:45:09. > :45:15.best event. It must be so daunting for everyone competing against him,
:45:16. > :45:20.going into the 100 metres thinking, this guy is on form, how will I beat
:45:21. > :45:26.him? If you are going to start your career, what a place to start it.
:45:27. > :45:31.And a thought for Michael Jamieson because there was so much attention
:45:32. > :45:35.on him and he was the poster boy of Team Scotland. A silver medal at the
:45:36. > :45:53.Olympics was a real joy for him and a silver medal here was not. I know,
:45:54. > :45:56.it is so hard. I know what it was like for me in London getting a
:45:57. > :45:58.bronze medal. As much as I was proud of that bronze medal, it was still
:45:59. > :46:06.gut-wrenching. Full. I know how he will be feeling tonight, he will be
:46:07. > :46:11.gutted. He will be thinking the exact same things and you learn more
:46:12. > :46:17.from the tougher moments. He will move on from this and bounce back,
:46:18. > :46:25.no doubt. Another silver medallist, Siobhan-Marie O'Connor who is 18. I
:46:26. > :46:32.love hurts so much, I want to hug her all the time. Don't do that you
:46:33. > :46:38.will slow her down! She is a breath of fresh air for the team. She is
:46:39. > :46:44.always positive. She has just got the best skills in British swimming,
:46:45. > :46:50.I think at the minute. Her start is insane. She blows the field away on
:46:51. > :46:57.her skills. She has learned how to race and the tactics behind it. She
:46:58. > :47:01.has got a busy week. Three races tonight. And more to come. Will you
:47:02. > :47:05.come back on the show because the band really like you and we really
:47:06. > :47:15.like you. As long as you don't make me seeing! The four medals means it
:47:16. > :47:24.is a more successful Commonwealth Games already than when Scotland
:47:25. > :47:29.hosted it in 1986. Four gold medals on day one. That means Glasgow is
:47:30. > :47:33.quite happy tonight. In the thick of the action in the city is Lee
:47:34. > :47:41.McKenzie who I suspect cannot hear a thing. The fray much. Welcome to the
:47:42. > :47:46.fruit market. We are right in the heart of Glasgow city centre. You
:47:47. > :47:55.can probably tell, this is a lively night venue. At the moment, we have
:47:56. > :47:58.a ceilidh going on. There has been a lot of fun and dancing. In the day,
:47:59. > :48:02.this is where they show wore the sport in Glasgow city centre. You do
:48:03. > :48:08.not need a ticket to come, you do not even need a Scottish accent.
:48:09. > :48:13.There have been so many appropriate moments today. It has been a really
:48:14. > :48:17.strong start for Team Scotland. The eyes of the world have been
:48:18. > :48:30.watching. Ten medals have been incredible. There have been six in
:48:31. > :48:33.swimming and also judo and cycling. Hannah Miley, Ross Murdock, it
:48:34. > :48:37.depends what their energy levels are because this ceilidh goes on until
:48:38. > :48:42.three o'clock in the morning. If you have energy, you could pop down
:48:43. > :48:48.after the show. No we could do that. I am thinking you should not judge
:48:49. > :48:56.people by your own standards. You thought Lee would be outwith the oil
:48:57. > :49:02.oil brigade but she is in a classy venue. She is a classy lady. When I
:49:03. > :49:10.watched you earlier, I thought Clyde had lost the will to live so I will
:49:11. > :49:17.fit him up a bit. By the way, if you come to Glasgow, you do not have the
:49:18. > :49:22.have tickets for the events. There is a real buzz about the place. We
:49:23. > :49:30.said Nithal Arthanayake out to find out more.
:49:31. > :49:35.Glasgow is the fourth biggest city in the UK with a population of
:49:36. > :49:39.approximately 600,000. Those numbers have been swelled by the numbers of
:49:40. > :49:42.people coming here for the Commonwealth Games. If you missed
:49:43. > :49:49.out on a ticket for a sporting event, worry not, because this city
:49:50. > :50:00.is putting on a huge programme of arts and cultural events just for
:50:01. > :50:03.you. There is so much to see and do in Glasgow. One place you have to
:50:04. > :50:05.visit is the merchant city festival. For 11 days, this will be a creative
:50:06. > :50:14.hub where you can see street performances, lively music and eat
:50:15. > :50:17.some great food. Another cultural hotspot is the Kelvingrove
:50:18. > :50:26.Bandstand. It fell into disrepair but after a ?2.1 million face-lift,
:50:27. > :50:32.it is back to its former glory. Welcome to Glasgow Green. This is
:50:33. > :50:36.where Glaswegians that people of the Commonwealth can come and hang out.
:50:37. > :50:42.You can add music, food and drink and also have a chance to race the
:50:43. > :50:55.fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt. I think that clearly after
:50:56. > :51:00.that, now we know why Usain Bolt pulled out of the 100 metres, he
:51:01. > :51:05.knew what was coming. He knew. If all of that is not enough for you
:51:06. > :51:13.culture vultures, why not come and hang out with us here. There is live
:51:14. > :51:16.music, a funfair, a huge screen where you can watch the sporting
:51:17. > :51:22.developments unfold before your very eyes. And all of that is made
:51:23. > :51:28.beautiful by this cool breeze wafting over us all. In fact, it is
:51:29. > :51:35.making me a bit thirsty so I am off for a drink.
:51:36. > :51:43.Let us remember that Lee McKenzie is classy and Nithal Arthanayake is a
:51:44. > :51:46.big kid. There something I am genuinely very excited about. They
:51:47. > :51:55.have given me a map and I love a map. It is a map of the Commonwealth
:51:56. > :52:02.Federation. I did not say the federation, I said the Commonwealth
:52:03. > :52:08.Federation. One, two, three, four. , love countries. Ollie Williams is
:52:09. > :52:18.with me. We have set you a challenge. That is you in Canada. I
:52:19. > :52:21.have a challenge. I have to get around the 71 nations and
:52:22. > :52:29.territories and find an athlete to interview in each of them. Can you
:52:30. > :52:32.please find one of those and put that on Malaysia because the first
:52:33. > :52:39.person I have found in this challenge is from Malaysia. He is a
:52:40. > :52:48.cyclist. You may remember him from Manchester 2011. He is back and he
:52:49. > :52:53.is fine. A splinter went into his leg when he was competing. Here are
:52:54. > :53:05.some of the athletes we have been checking out today. There is a bit
:53:06. > :53:13.of a Scottish accent breaking in now and again. You are no stranger to
:53:14. > :53:20.Glasgow? I can do the accent. I have been here for 14 years. RU related
:53:21. > :53:37.to Alistair and Jonny Brownlee? Apparently. Yes, he is! It was
:53:38. > :53:46.getting to me. What are your thoughts on technique? A lot of
:53:47. > :53:47.people would go freestyle. I was going to do breaststroke but I had
:53:48. > :53:54.to do it slow. going to do breaststroke but I had
:53:55. > :54:02.Good effort. We have got Garner. Kenya as well and Belize, Jersey and
:54:03. > :54:10.I feel like we are missing one. The Falkland Islands, well remembered!
:54:11. > :54:13.We can find out more about everyone we have seen that on the BBC Four
:54:14. > :54:20.website. And did you see this photo which might interest you? It is Mark
:54:21. > :54:24.Chapman. It looks as if he is leading the Scottish team out. It
:54:25. > :54:30.looks as if he is carrying the Saltire. Mark is frightened of dogs.
:54:31. > :54:41.I would have loved it. He said, keep them away from me!
:54:42. > :54:53.Lets give you a round-up of the rhythmic gymnastics.
:54:54. > :55:05.Very polished stuff. Beautifully elevated legs. The flexibility is
:55:06. > :55:15.astonishing. An important moment coming up now, the first appearance
:55:16. > :55:29.of Canada. Lovely spins. The classic statement, they make the difficult
:55:30. > :55:39.look easy. So beautifully elegant. A great job done by Laura Halford.
:55:40. > :55:58.Magic. Canada will surely get the gold? There is the flag bearer for
:55:59. > :56:03.Wales. The last Welsh gymnasts. A fantastic routine for Jones. An

:56:33. > :56:39.medal. So, day one is done and that is the
:56:40. > :56:57.medal table. Australia have won more golds than
:56:58. > :57:06.they won in the whole of Edinburgh in 1986. Wales are there with their
:57:07. > :57:08.silver from today. All home nations have taken a medal on the opening
:57:09. > :57:27.day. And more chances tomorrow. We have home nation interest in the
