Day 2 Tonight at the Games

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your hosts for tonight, Clare

Balding and Mark Chapman! Hello! We have tried to make light

look more interested than he was last night. Hello and welcome to

Today At The Games. We have our lovely studio audience again. We

also have a massive audience outside. I can't believe we are only

on our second night, and they are trying to get in. We have got loads

on the show for you tonight. That includes rhythmic gymnastics,

shooting, boxing and netball. And you do. -- judo. I like to do

motions for each of those. You should have seen me in Russia,

speaking Russian, going, have you come from the curling? Let's move

on. We will be joined by a man who was king of the pool. Ian Thorpe

will be here. And a woman who without question was Queen of the

velodrome, Victoria and Orton will be here as well. And, this is

exciting, everybody's favourite South African dad, Chad Le Clos' dad

Bert le Clos, we will have a special feature from him. We have got

medallist and proud fathers. Before we move on, we have to show you

prove that we have the power as well as the mime actions. We have our

band here, the Federation! We want you to get involved as well, and we

promise that we will read out some of the questions and comments you

send us on social media. #TonightAtTheGames to get in touch

with us. Earlier, I had a tweaked saying, I love judo. More please.

Your wish is our command. Sarah Clarke, so much experience. Is

she going to take it to the ground? This is the transition now. The

crowd are starting to go mad. The armies out straight. Sarah Clarke

wins the gold medal. It is Scotland who will celebrate.

Danny Williams, representing England. Williams goes into the

lead. Danny Williams has got the arm out: But the seconds ticking away.

Four seconds left on the clock. Danny Williams gets up slowly. Needs

to stand his ground. And it is all over. Danny Williams wins the gold

medal for England. He is a happy boy.

Megan Fletcher, of England, looking so determined.

Here we go. Gets the term. Megan Fletcher has De Villiers. De

Villiers was always going to get punished. She flopped once too

often, and you can't do that with Megan Fletcher. The seconds are

ticking away. Just got to hold for 20 seconds, and it is all over.

Credit to Megan Fletcher, she is the Commonwealth Games champion.

Third penalty to Tom Reed. Lindsay should smell like now. Just one

penalty of a gold medal. Livesey on top. And it is all over. Livesey

gets the gold medal. Tom Reed could not do anything about it. Gold and

silver for England. It is the first time judo has been

back in the Commonwealth Games since 2002. Safe to say it is back with a

bang. Ladies and gentlemen, he's welcome four winners in the judo!

Danny Williams, Megan Fletcher, Owen Livesey and Sarah Clarke! We wanted

to shake your hands individually, but last night, with so many

people, we got into such a pickle that we nearly fell over them.

Congratulations to you all. Sarah, let me start with you. Am I right in

thinking you came to Scotland as an 18-year-old and just fell in love

with the place? Yes. I came as a junior to a training session, and

then came back the following week and stayed. How much of a reception

did you get today? It was unbelievable. I have never felt

anything like that before. When you went out there, you felt, this is

not even for me, this is for all of those guys out there. Your brother

had to withdraw, didn't he? And Danny was the beneficiary of that.

But because your brother withdrew, did you feel extra pressure to do it

for the family? I don't think it was extra pressure. Danny did well

today. It was just one of those situations where I was glad I

managed to win a gold for my family. Megan, you are geography teacher.

Have you seen my map? Largest landmass that is not part of the

Commonwealth is the Russian Federation. They are not in it. We

need to rehearse that Federation gaffe. You use the Commonwealth

Games to teach geography? It has been a big thing at school at the

moment. They have been doing loads of stuff about it. I might have a

lesson from you later. She really will. You could be stuck with that

map until two in the morning. I said you were a late call-up because of

an's withdrawal. The story about you were a late call-up because of

Yeah, I was getting stuck into a big meal at the time. Which was? Just a

spaghetti bolognese, with some meal at the time. Which was? Just a

garlic bread. So swiftly put that to the side and

garlic bread. So swiftly put that to food went to one side and you went

to the gym. Yeah, with food went to one side and you went

weight controlled sport, I had a bit of an

weight controlled sport, I had a bit overweight? Just slightly. How much

did you have to lose in the last couple of weeks? A fair bit. How

much have you eaten since your gold medal has been around your neck?

Everything. Owen, you are sporting a bit of a bash. Yes, but that is not

from today. It is just an injury I got in training. It is not serious.

He is a rugby league player. For them, anything is fine. You just

carry on. So you were at Saints? As a junior. And then went to judo, but

then went back to rugby league? I played rugby for 12 months, went to

Widnes Vikings rugby league from St Helens. I played reserve rugby there

for eight months. What is tougher, judo or rugby league? Completely

different. The fitness is completely different. You take knocks in both.

As is evident. Let me take you to see some more medallists, because

the golds were not the only metals that were won today. We have four

more medallists here. Let's give them a round of applause. There

could be a proposal coming here. Firstly, you lost to your roommate.

I did. It will be interesting going back to the room tonight. We knew

that could be the situation. The aim was that we both got to the final.

As far as the team goes, it was job done. Then it became more of an

individual thing. Has it been weird, being roommates and knowing you

could meet? It hasn't been. It could have been, but we get on well. With

different people, there can be more tension. But we knew it could be the

case months ago when the selections came out, so from them, we were

preparing for it. It was just something we had to get on with. It

is an individual sport, but we are here as a team to stop I am very

happy that it was gold and silver for England. Congratulations. Sally,

I am going to come to you with a bronze medal. What will this do for

you, moving forward? I think it will give me confidence. I am going onto

the World Championships at the end of August, so I will take what I

have learnt today on how to cope with pressure. What will this do for

the sport? Over the last few days, the profile has been huge because of

what you guys have been doing. A lot more people are interested in judo

now compared to two years ago. More people want to know more about the

sport. Let me come to faith and Jemima. Faith, in your biography,

you said you are patriotic. Did you feel the patriotism today?

Absolutely. The crowd were amazing, and the stadium is overwhelming. I

had goose bumps all day, and that was the same for the whole team. It

was unbelievable. Jemima, we heard about Danny's call-up. Your call-up

involved your mum and a very early wake-up call? I found out on Tuesday

morning that I would be competing. I'm shook me awake at 6:30am and

said, do you want to fight at the compost games? And I rolled over and

went back to sleep. And then said, I thought, my mum has lost the plot.

Did you go back to sleep? No, I had to wake up and go for a run to lose

some weight. Congratulations to all our medallists. I might have a treat

for you. Our cocktail man is here tonight, making cocktails for our

eight judokas. You have got a judo cocktail. And in there is what?

Spiced rum, and you add mint, fresh lime, soda water. If you want a

twist, a bit of whiskey for the Scots. I will be honest with you, it

sounds revolting at the moment, but I am sure we will give it a try.

There have been known gold medals on offer so far at the judo and they

have all been won by England and Scotland. There are five more

tomorrow and there is a chance of a clean sweep for the home nations.

Well done so far and good luck for tomorrow. Let's mention all the

people outside who have not been able to get into the studio. The

good news is that if you come to this area of Glasgow, we are on the

banks of the Clyde. BBC at the Quay have got their own festival. You can

bring the children and have a good time. There are life programmes on

the stage and Lee McKenzie has been finding out more.

Are you going to tell us who picks up the phone to who? That has been

asked twice now. This is like being in front of people. Scotland has

always had its very own sense of humour and two men who represent

that or in front of me. What is it like having the Glasgow Commonwealth

Games on your doorstep? People playing bagpipes and all the rest of

it, the difference is we play the bagpipes in tune! What's your

highlight so far? The haul of ten medals on the first day I'm not sure

how many we got today. I gather the haul of medals was more than we won

in 1986. That's got to be impressive. We mean business. We do.

Bring it on. I'm worried about this sunshine. People are going to be

watching this, clansling their holidays abroad and coming to the

kofta del -- Costa del glag. It rains here. The rain is lovely here,

it's refreshing. And you can drink out of the taps here. Straight out

of the taps. Glasgow patter, do you think the

athletes and those visiting are getting this? Yeah they have to pick

up some words. Greetin that's one of them. They should try to catch up.

They should realise that this is the place to be, at all times, not just

during the Thank you Commonwealth. Very much.

A tweet from Lindsay Lewis, "What a games so far. So proud of team

Scotland and all the home nations." Keep the comments coming. As Claire

said just at the top of the show, she keeps inventing symbols to

introduce sports. That was for rhythmic gymnastics. We sent

Katherine Granger along for rhythmic gymnastics.

I'm in the stunning Hydroto see the final of the all-round rhythmic

gymnastics. There are 16 athletes competing in all four disciplines.

The hoop, the ball, the crush and the ribbon -- club and the ribbon to

see who could be crowned champion. After their team silver yesterday

the two representatives of Welsh gymnastics were here and brimming

with confidence. Lovely combination of pivots. Lovely

extension. Super handling. Oh, beautifully expressive work. Two

events down and Frankie is well placed for the medals. Just the

ribbon and club to go. So wonderfully precise with those

pirouettes. Laura had a great start to joining Frankie in the top three.

A lovely different performance. So the pressure is mounting for

Francesca Jones. She needs to keep that focus. Such a different style.

Very sharp. So difficult. Both clubs high in the air. It's looking

fantastic for Wales. Frankie is in second position, Laura in third. We

turn to the fourth and final discipline, the ribbon, to decide

those medals. Frankie Jones for Wales. This has to be a perfect

routine. Oh, fantastic! What a great day for Frankie Jones. Four superb

routines. She's done everything she can now.

Really clean routine. There's a chance of a medal. Lovely elevation.

What a fantastic day for Laura as well. It looks as if Frankie and

Laura will be in the medal positions. There's a long wait for

the 13 other competitors to be sure. There it is. 14. 8, a massive score.

It gives her the all-around Gold Medal. The results are in. The

Canadian was too hot to handle for everyone today. A well deserved

silver and bronze for team Wales Frankie Jones and Laura Halford

bring in great results. Beyond my wildest dreams. I can't even believe

it. I didn't really think that an individual medal would be realistic

for me. But to have come and proved myself, just makes it even better. I

just never even imagined that we would be able to do what we've done

the last two days. So proud of my team and me. A great day for team

Wales. Two really important medals and so well deserved. It was my

first experience of rhythmic gymnastics and I've loved it. I've

been blown away, not just by the grace and elegance and style of

those athletes, but up close, you see just what athletic ability they

have. They have an agility and flexibility I can only dream of. So

right now, I'm off to see if I can find a ball, a hoop or a ribbon to

try it myself. I might just go clubbing. I said to Katherine last

night, or this morning, you've got said, oh, I will. She didn't.

Frankie's dad Colin is with me now. Well done on the achievements of

your daughter and what she did today, but also carrying the flag

for Wales. Fantastic. Yes, amazing, absolutely brilliant. I didn't think

it could have got better than Wednesday night, but it did today.

You said she started at five with artistic. Artist being at five then

moved to rhythmic at ten. She has been training fulltime from 16 and

she's now 23. She is amazing. I think she's only the third gymnast

ever to win multimedals at Commonwealth Games. This is her

third today. So we're hoping tomorrow will go well as well.

What's tomorrow then? Tomorrow is the individual apparatus, so medals,

four more up for grabs. It's a strong Welsh team with Laura as

well. You're getting massive supportment Laura was British

champion. Frankie was runner up this year. She's been British champion

six times in the past. She's happy Do you today. Understand everything

that's going on there, are you an expert, do you mark it yourself? No.

I once downloaded the technical requirements and it ran to about 85

pages. I got to page two and gave up. Did Do you sit there and clap

and cheer? Ism know a little bit -- I know a little bit, but not enough.

You know that your daughter is pretty good at it. I know she's the

best. The best I've ever Thank you seen. So much for coming in tonight.

It's my pleasure, thank you. All right, thanks Colin.

APPLAUSE Thank you very much to Colin. We

will have some more proud fathers later on in the show. It's been

another busy day at the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome. In the middle of it

all was Gill Douglas. With the temperature soaring

outside, it's pretty hot here in the velodrome, which means the track is

riding very fast. Last night was all about team work. Tonight, we focus

on individual events with Joanna Rowsell and Jason Kenny Gold

Medallists in London two years ago, hoping to add Commonwealth medals to

their collections. Rowsell is clearly in good form. She qualified

with a new Commonwealth Games record. Joanna Rowsell half a second

up. When she crosses the line now, there will be four laps to go. The

lead is still with England. Joanna Rowsell, one final lap to glory. One

final lap to gold. She's got the better of Edmondson here. The crowd

are on their feet. Joanna Rowsell wins gold for England in the women's

individual pursuit. A wonderful reception for you there.

Congratulations. It's been an amazing year for you. Yeah, it has.

I won the World Championships individual pursuit in February. This

is the one I really wanted. It's the event that I was spotted for when I

first started. It means a lot to me. Fantastic to win here today.

Absolutely over the Another athlete moon. Having a good start to the

Games is Australia's Jack Bobridge. Edmondson leading the way so far. A

lap-and-a-half from the finishing line now and you can see there, the

clear advantage he has. He successfully defends the individual

pursuit title. In the men's paracycling kilo time trial, a blind

or partially sighted rider is accompanied by a fully sighted

pilot. They race against the clock. Kieran Modra and Jason Niblett were

in the Gold Medal position P Neil Fachie and Craig MacLean make it

gold? The race for gold is on now. Powering around the bottom of the

track, already over three quarters of a second up. The roar is quite

incredible inside here now. Up towards the line, it's gold for

Scotland! Gold for Neil Fachie and the Paralympic champion, the world

champion is now the Commonwealth champion. Welsh pair imagine --

Matthew ellist and Williams -- Ellis. That's the first time I've

raced for Scotland and so to be on top of the podium as well in front

of a home crowd, it's hard not to get teary eyed. There was still time

for another gold as Jason Kenny faced Sam Webster in the men's

sprint final. It's the best of three races. After losing the first Ken

yip needed to win.er -- Kenny needed to win. Full gas, full bore, can he

draw level? Yes he can. Gold was still on for the Englishman. It was

all to play for in the third and final race. It's a big gap. Can he

get past the kiwi now. Or will it be Webster's title. It's on the line

and it's going to be Webster who takes it. It's gold for New Zealand

and Jason Kenny just couldn't quite close the gap. Another fantastic day

of action here in the velodrome. Golden girl Jo Rowsell adding the

Commonwealth tight toll her long list after chee.s. No question --

achievements. No question to what razed the roof here when Neil Fachie

and MacLean took gold. Today was fantastic in the velodrome. And to

discuss it with us double Olympic champion, Commonwealth champion,

discuss it with us double Olympic champion, Commonwealth Victoria

pendle ton. -- Pendleton.

APPLAUSE We were there, together for 5 Live

in the velodrome. The atmosphere, particularly when Fachie and MacLean

won that gold, fantastic. It was. So great to see the Paralympic sports

getting that great reception. Having been on a tandem, it is terrifying.

I wouldn't want to pilot a You've had tandem. A go attiting? --

piloting? Yeah the stoker. The size of me means I will always be a

stoker, I'm on the back. Sorry the size of you means that you... I'd be

on the back. What does stoker mean? The person on the back, the

powerhouse on the back. Why is it stoker? It's a pilot and a stoker, I

don't know. You'd think that the stoker was like, stoke it up, IE be

the power. It is the power, but it's packaged in a small powerful way. I

get it now. Craig MacLean's power is truly, truly astonishing.

Absolutely. For a long while, he was our man one in Team GB. He led Chris

Hoy out in many successful team sprints. He is an expert at a

standing Just to start. Give an indication of his power, he clocked

on ape stationary bike, 142mph. That was a proper oohhh. How is that

possible? He should go on the M 74. was a proper oohhh. How is that

I hear that's the best training route of all. They all train

together, don't they? Absolutely, which is great. It's great for us. I

actually, I have an affinity with Neil, I have to say. We are perhaps

the two smallest guys that used Neil, I have to say. We are perhaps

train in the gym together. We Will Rock You look a -- we are small, but

we're very powerful. He's He real great. Ly went for it. And Billy

Connelly was there. Fabulous. I'm loving the chimp by the way on the

helmet, the angry chimp. I'd love to know the It must story. Be from the

chimp para-Dom. You made that -- paradox. You made that bobbing a

best seller -- book a best seller. I love those guys. It was an emotional

moment. It really was. Sir Chris Hoy took himself away from the rest of

the BBC team and stood at the front of his podium and belted out Flower

of Scotland in his own velodrome in honour of those two. The day was

great for England as well, silver for Jason Kenny, who we saw

immediately throw up actually, which wasn't as good. Look, look. He's

throwing up right there. That highlighted just the effort he put

it in his final heat. Then Jo Rowsell's gold. Jason qualified

tenth in the sprint, which for him is unusual. He hasn't had a great

time trial performance since the Olympics, in all He's been fairness.

Trying to bulk up. Yeah, Olympics, in all He's been fairness.

takes time. I sacrificed a whole season to put some muscle mass on

pre-Olympics. I said, guys, I don't think I'm

pre-Olympics. I said, guys, I don't year, but I need to get strong.

Doing both at the same time, year, but I need to get strong.

opponent in sight. His visual, like how he locks contact, locks onto his

opponent in sight. His visual, like incredible. It doesn't faze him.

decisions. He made great decisions until the last race. From what

decisions. He made great decisions you're saying great effort to win a

Silver Medal given you're saying great effort to win a

regime. Jo Rowsell. Amazing. Heroine. Tect book performance. She

went into the qualifying ride and just rode like a metronome. She was

went into the qualifying ride and exactly on pace. Her

went into the qualifying ride and going, you're there, you're exactly

on it. We knew she was going to go into the final in a strong position.

On And this would be your first major event without competing.

On And this would be your first do you feel about that, Queen of the

On And this would be your first velodrome? I was like, I love

watching live sport and it is great to know the guys that are riding and

cheer them on. But I am still trying to peddle underneath the desk! But I

don't need the stress. I see the guys before they go on the track and

I don't want to do that again. I am listening to you on the radio in the

mornings and then seeing you on the telly, and you are doing a brilliant

job. You and Becky Adlington. Going from your respective sports to doing

this. Also, you have a mind for the cycling. -- a mime for the cycling.

Let's look at what else has happened at the Commonwealth Games.

Nigeria picked up their first gold of these games, courtesy of Chika

Amalaha in the 53 kilograms division of the women's weightlifting.

Scotland's women got their Commonwealth campaign off to a

winning start, beating Malaysia 2-0 this afternoon. But Wales lost 9-0

against favourites Australia. In the men's hockey, Wales and Scotland

both lost. In netball, England began with a 65-25 win over Wales, who

have now lost both their matches. Scotland beat St Lucia 58-30.

Let's talk about the netball. I have two proud fathers with me, two

former professional sportsmen as well. Former rugby captain and

British Lion David Sole, and former Stockport and Birmingham striker

Kevin Francis. Proud fathers, both of them. David, your daughter Gemma

is in the Scottish netball team. Yes, she plays goal shooter for the

Scottish netball team and they came away with a terrific victory this

afternoon against St Lucia. It was their Commonwealth debut today, and

she scored five? Something like that. What is it like watching her

play international sport, when you have played it yourself? I always

get a sense that my mum and dad were proud of me, but I never appreciated

just how proud they would have been. Leading a side out at Murrayfield to

beat England was a real thrill. Don't rub it in. It did not happen

often. But knowing how they must have felt at that moment is a

wonderful gift to have given them, and my daughter is giving it back to

me now. Do you see it as a gift as well? It is. It is overwhelming when

you are there. You see them singing the national anthem, and brings home

everything you have done in your career. But the finest thing you

have done is have a child who can play netball like that. She went to

New Zealand for year to develop her career, and now she has come back?

Yes, she spent a year in Christchurch. Said she enjoyed it.

She has played against most of the girls she will meet over the next

ten days. It is Australia tomorrow for England. It is. It will be

interesting. You have said proud words about Stacey. I don't know if

you saw that week she sent a few moments ago. She said, I hope my

father sends my love to the show when he is on Today At The Games. #

Fame Hogg. I am just riding her coat tails now. I had fun watching you

both. It is a fantastic achievement, and I am sure you will enjoy every

moment. I hope the rest of the tournament goes well. We have a

tough match tomorrow against New Zealand, but it is a great

experience, particularly at home games. All the venues, the

atmosphere has been phenomenal. It shows what a city Glasgow is. Enjoy

the rest of the netball tournament, Kevin Francis and David Sole.

Talking of social media, #TonightAtTheGames to get in touch.

Lindsay Lewis says, clearly not going to get anything done for ten

days. Another says, we are clearly epic at judo. Now, guess what sport

this is. Yes, let's have oxen with Nihal. -- boxing.

Boxing is at the heart of the Commonwealth Games, and it has

launched some of the sport's biggest names including Lennox Lewis, Barry

McGuigan and Richie Woodhall. Today is the first day of the competition

in the SECC, and we are going to find out who are the next generation

of great British boxing superstars. The legend, Mr Barry McGuigan. You

say it is the biggest moment of your life, winning the Commonwealth gold.

How did it change your life? That was the biggest highlight of my

life, and that is what these kids are all going through, the chance to

have a bigger platform and go on to bigger things, the Olympics, or turn

professional. They all have a chance of really making a name for

themselves. I am joined by a bona fide legend of boxing commentating,

Mr Jim Neilly and also a Commonwealth gold medal winner

himself, Richie Woodhall. 13 golds to be won. Of those, how many will

be freed up amongst the home nations? I think they will take a

fair few. They have strength and depth in each country, England,

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I think the home nations

will take five or six gold medals easily. But is what the experts

think. But the time for talking is over. It is time for the action.

Unanimous win by Michael Conlon. Well deserved, but he did not come

away unscathed. Listen to the biggest roar of the

day. Benson's Commonwealth tournament comes to an end. Joe

Joyce, representing England. It has been a successful day for the

home nations in the boxing ring, and plenty of talent on display. There

is still a long way to go, but they are all one step closer to getting

their hands on one of those very precious gold medals.

The biggest upset of the night was in the men's flyweight. Welshman and

world number one Andrew Selby lost to Scotland's Reese McFadden, but he

had four warnings for his gumshield, which kept coming out. So that

cannot have helped his concentration and was clearly another dent to

Welsh medal hope this. Thank you to Beth for getting into it and

saying, proud fathers are one of the best things about international wart

on the telly. It is true. Now I am heading over to Ollie, because we

set him a challenge yesterday to make contact with somebody from each

of the 71 nations and territories. How did you get on?

of the 71 nations and territories. Started at the weightlifting, where

I was ticking off Australia. I have moved myself to Australia. I found a

26-year-old weightlifter, and his dad is Cambodian. He lost relatives

during the rule of Pol Pot in Cambodia. The family moved to

Australia. He got into the weightlifting team. He

You had a lot of emotion going on in there. How do you keep a lid on it

when you are actually lifting? I left, I put it down and then it is

party time. Welcome to Scotstoun. I came here for table tennis but have

been sidetracked by squash, because we have Sri Lanka, England and the

whole England team. I am from India. Hello, I am from Sri Lanka. Who

won? I won. Here are the England Squash team, my 14th member of the

71 club. Is that it? I am trying! What other countries did you find?

Botswana. Thank you to the judoka from Botswana. Then there were the

Solomon Islands. As I say, Sri Lanka and India. England and Wales,

Solomon Islands. As I say, Sri Lanka Zambia, we say congratulations to

the person who got a bronze in the 81 kilograms category today. And you

will continue tomorrow. Ideally, seven or eight. Lindsay Lewis says,

what a game so far. So proud of team Scotland and all the home nations.

Claire says, who knew the Scots could swim? Hannah Miley and Ross

Murdoch yesterday, and there was more today. Hannah Miley, looking

like she is set for this. Good, more today. Hannah Miley, looking

clean start, the final of more today. Hannah Miley, looking

women's 400m individual medley. It is faster than Hannah Miley has ever

gone out before. The crowd are going nuts. Looks like Hannah Miley has

got it. Let's not give up on either of them yet. The atmosphere is

extraordinary. The crowd is on their feet. No Scottish person has ever

won a gold medal in the swimming pool in Scotland. Hannah Miley is

streaking away. This is a billion swim. -- a brilliant swim. She has

got the gold! Hannah Miley wins gold in Scotland. What a start for the

Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. This is a great race. You are seeing a

world-class 400m. Looks like it may be Cochrane here. Surely he can't

win it? He has done! That was an incredible swim. It was one thing to

show Hannah Miley's gold medal, but we don't need to see, and 's again.

-- Cochrane's again. You can tell us what happened. And so can probably

the greatest Commonwealth swimmer there has ever been, King of the

pool Ian Thorpe is here! APPLAUSE

We like to give you the big, you Thank you know. . The big reception.

Were you watching from your hotel room today or were you there? I was

there. No, I lie. I was going to say, I didn't see you there. Was in

the hotel. We will remind you and everyone else who happened and then

we shall discuss it. There's Ben Proud. Expect fireworks

down this 50 metres. Very good start for Ben Proud. He keeps his head

down, keeps very flat. The back hat in the centre. Schoeman is going

well. He tied in the heats a little bit. It looks like it may be Proud

and Schoeman. Proud in the black hat, is he going to get the touch?

He got it. Fantastic swim. First Gold Medal to England in the

swimming pool. Just an amazing feeling. No-one can tell you what

it's going to be like. I'm so happy I've done it.

The fastest qualifier right in the centre, the black hat of at kin son.

-- Atkinson. Pickett has the touch. A very good start for the Australian

in the centre. What a massive start that was for McEvoy. Can he hold on?

This will be really interesting down this last 25 metres. It looks like

McEvoy is holding on. Coming back is Fraser-Holmes of Australia.

Australia just about one, two, three with McKeon at the top there. Can

the Welsh get a bronze medal? Jarvis may get it. The gold goes to

Fraser-Holmes. What a brilliant swim from him out of nowhere.

So Daniel Wallace of Scotland starts as the fastest qualifier. If the

crowd can do anything here, is to take this young man to Gold Medal.

Rousseau has found another gear. Oh, no, look at this. This is very

tight. Look at this, Daniel Wallace is moving away from Rousseau. He's

overtaking him. Daniel Wallace of Scotland. Can we really get another

Gold Medal for Scotland? You know, we are going to. It's going to be

Commonwealth champion, men's 400m individual medley, it is Daniel

Wallace of Scotland. What a massive swim from him. And the crowd

standing up to absolute the new Commonwealth champion. I knew

exactly where I needed to be at each point. I knew it was going to be a

dog fight to the finish. I'm really -- really happy. Elliott is a big

favourite for gold here. This is a very close race, far closer than we

expected. At the moment, it's going to be Elliott. It is a new world

record. Look at the emotion. Goodness me.

The final of the men's 100m backstroke, fastest seed is Mitch

Larkin of Australia in the centre. Chris Walker-Hebborn is going to win

this. England will get their second Gold Medal of the night. A great

race from Chris Walker-Hebborn, a brilliant gold. I'm absolutely over

the moon. A little bit emotional. Yeah, speechless. Great to see two

Englishmen on the top of the podium. Fastest qualifier for this 100m

butterfly is Siobhan Marie O'Connor. It's very tight. Maybe Savard of

Canada. Savard of Canada, yes it is, wins the Gold Medal.

So, Adam Brown of England big job to do. Robbie Rennick there as well.

The halfway mark of this men's four by 100 metres freestyle relay. It

will be very close. 100 metres to go. It looks like it's Australia

taking the men's as well. Gold to team Australia in the men's four by

100 free relay. Very impressive swim from Australia. We got there. We

finished with that to make you happy. Australia are winning gold

medals, but not as dominant in the pool as perhaps one had become

accustomed to. That's right. We have won a lot, but not nearly as many

as, I think, everyone is used to Australia winning. If you look at

2012, and then look at where we are now, it's a big improvement. But,

all of the home nations are doing really well. Look at Scotland. I

know! Look at Scotland! CHEERING

Will Australia be looking at Scotland? Yes, we're looking at

relaxing immigration laws! LAUGHTER

Why not. Dan Wallace giving Scotland their third Gold Medal. England got

two today as well, their first two in the pool, Ben Proud and Chris

Walker-Hebborn who loves his tattoos. Every time he wins

something big he gets a new one. Wow, well, I hope he's got enough

space, because this was a great performance. This has continued to

cap off, I guess, probably the strength that's carried over from

London 2012 has continued around this part of the world. We're seeing

great performances here. They're of a standard that's higher than a lot

of people expected. I was going to say, for somebody like Siobhan Marie

O'Connor, at 18 and winning a silver Commonwealth medal, it's how she is

managed, trained going forward. You get excited about young athletes.

The thing to look out for is how they handle these kinds of

competitions, not just the time. Because the time can be a fluke,

whereas the way, the manner they hold themselves, you're expecting to

see some of the skills that are required of athletes to be able to

have successful careers. You start to get a little bit more excited

about the prospects of two years in the future. How much are you

enjoying Glasgow? I am enjoying it. Have you had a chance to get around?

It is the most fantastic city. I'm having fun We may here. Have to give

you a pair of sun glasses. Get out there, because it is I was great.

Looking at the hills today and I was like, I need to travel out of town.

You'd like that as well. Ian Thorpe was one of the stars of London 2012

Scottish barbeque. You want to let this die down before you put the

steaks on. That's the beef. Just the lamb chops are my favourite. Just

like this here, so it doesn't curl up. What we need is some black

pepper. That's how we like it at home. Just basically the taste of

the meat. South African barbeques, it's an outdoor thing. Douring the

summer, especially near Scotland, everyone should have a little

barbeque like this. Those are coming on nicely. There you are. The lamb

chops, expertly don't by Burt Le Clos. Back home you burn the meat,

here it's perfect. A little barbeque in Scotland. There were a lot of

disbelieving Glaswegians in that piece. The exciting news is... Burt

is on the show tomorrow night. I may ask him not to bring anything he's

cooked with him. He might not come in tomorrow night if you insult his

cooking. First day of the shooting. We can get a round up of what

happened there. Carnoustie, famous for lynx golf,

other seaside pursuits and now shooting. First medal of the games

was won by the Sri Lankan in the 10 m pistol. Wow, she is as cool as a

cucumber. That's enough for Teo to take the gold. The first British

medal belongs to Dan Rivers. He said a new Games record and qualified for

the final of the 10 m rifle. He went on to take bronze. They are standing

here to applaud. What a reception from this crowd. I believe it's a

British record as well. Absolutely smashed it. So happy. The gold was

won by the Indian Bindra. Another one for his cabinet. These These are

my last Games. I'm finishing off with an individual gold medal and my

ninth medal of the Games. It's a good You want finish. Tension and

drama and a lot of noise? You want target shooting. 16-year-old English

shooter Amber Hill, a joint world record holder, lost a shoot-off for

a semifinal place in the women's skeet. Hopefully, I'll learn from

this and go home and practice even harder. Her team-mate Sarah Grey,

lost a bronze medal shootoff. Sometimes I stiffen up under

pressure and drop ones I wouldn't northerlily. Considering I just

scraped through I had a pretty good Elena Allen final. Reached the Gold

Medal shootoff, losing out to Australia Laura Coles. Disappointed

obviously to have lost that by one target. But a medal is a medal.

Really quite emotional. I don't know what to make of it at the moment.

Give it a couple of days and it will sink in.

A quick look at the medals table then:

Wales could get their first Gold Medal tomorrow, because Michale

Breeze goes tomorrow. Ross Murdoch going for his second

Gold Medal in the pool as well. We're back at 10. 40pm. Thank to you

Ian, Victoria and our medallists and proud dads. Thank you to the band

and audience. See you tomorrow. Good night!
