:00:51. > :01:07.Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your hosts four died, Clare Balding
:01:08. > :01:11.and Mark Chapman. -- your hosts for tonight.
:01:12. > :01:35.Thank you so much. What a fantastic welcome from those of you in the
:01:36. > :01:38.studio. Hello. It is rather a grim evening so it takes real dedication
:01:39. > :01:45.to be outside! We've got so much coming up for you. We have the full
:01:46. > :01:48.Commonwealth cornucopia. What? The Commonwealth Konica B of sport -
:01:49. > :01:55.athletics, swimming, rugby sevens, netball, lawn bowls stop we have a
:01:56. > :02:01.lot to get through. Cycling, expert pundits, Sir Chris Hoy. We've got a
:02:02. > :02:08.couple of rugby union players in Jonathan Davies and Andy Nicol.
:02:09. > :02:11.CHEERING Not that they following their
:02:12. > :02:17.stereotype but they are the bar! We want you to get in touch with us on
:02:18. > :02:22.social media. That's particularly when we talk netball, cycling and
:02:23. > :02:24.rugby. Use the hashtag on-screen. We have our live band in the studio,
:02:25. > :02:38.the Federation. Something different every night from
:02:39. > :02:43.them. We'd better crack on because the streets of Glasgow this morning
:02:44. > :02:44.as the men's and women's marathons got under way and Katherine Grainger
:02:45. > :02:54.was right in the thick of it. This is Glasgow Green, the heart of
:02:55. > :02:59.the East End of the city and the start and finish of the Commonwealth
:03:00. > :03:09.marathon. For three ways on hot days of blazing hot sunshine, this grey
:03:10. > :03:13.sky won't dampen the spirits of the athletes. The men's race is just
:03:14. > :03:18.behind me and the women's race will follow in half an hour. The women's
:03:19. > :03:26.marathon gets under way in the 2014 Commonwealth Games. A small, select
:03:27. > :03:33.field and I'm sure they will get great support out there. An early
:03:34. > :03:34.leader in the men's race was 40-year-old English man Steve
:03:35. > :03:39.leader in the men's race was Seven years ago a heavy smoker and
:03:40. > :03:41.couch potato, he took up running just to get fit. This was his first
:03:42. > :03:52.appearance at a multisport event. The athletes are coming into Glasgow
:03:53. > :03:57.Green for the beginning of the final lap of the course. It's a spread
:03:58. > :04:01.affair with the strong athletes at the front. And as we can see, the
:04:02. > :04:07.women's race is looking exactly the same. The second group in the
:04:08. > :04:08.women's marathon event looks like it's got some strong interest for
:04:09. > :04:21.the home nations. The crowd remained enthusiastic
:04:22. > :04:23.juror in the long wait between laps and there was plenty here to keep
:04:24. > :04:35.them entertained. After the early African dominance,
:04:36. > :04:40.it was Australian Michael Shelley who broke away and the last five
:04:41. > :04:43.kilometres to claim gold. Scotland's Derek Hawkins finished
:04:44. > :04:50.ninth and Steve Way finished in 10th place with a personal best. Seven
:04:51. > :04:55.years on, here I am, talking to you, 10th in the Commonwealth Games
:04:56. > :04:59.and representing my country. It's just awesome. Running 26 miles isn't
:05:00. > :05:04.the most pleasant of things but the crowd support made it ten times
:05:05. > :05:17.easier, without a doubt. It was an African or one in the women's. --
:05:18. > :05:21.one - two. Susan Partridge was sixth, the highest home nation
:05:22. > :05:30.placing of the day. I think we run pretty well. There's no point being
:05:31. > :05:33.disappointed. The weather has done nothing to dampen the drama of the
:05:34. > :05:41.sport or the enthusiasm of the clouds. Two well-deserved wins for
:05:42. > :05:44.Australia and Kenya. It is the Commonwealth Games that is
:05:45. > :05:49.providing us with story after story after story but none is more
:05:50. > :05:54.inspiring than that of our first guest. Please welcome, ladies and
:05:55. > :06:14.gentlemen, Steve Way. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:06:15. > :06:19.You sat down with a little bit of a wince! In all this excitement, I
:06:20. > :06:26.keep forgetting I ran 26 miles this morning! The adrenaline got me up
:06:27. > :06:30.the red carpet and then suddenly the hamstrings were a little... I was
:06:31. > :06:33.going to apologise for making you do an extra walk! The power of
:06:34. > :06:36.adrenaline is amazing because all the way round the course, people
:06:37. > :06:43.knew who you were and they were shouting new one. I had quite a lot
:06:44. > :06:46.of support from my local area in Dorset and there was a lot of
:06:47. > :06:51.English support. But the Glasgow support was fantastic and there are
:06:52. > :06:55.a lot of people up here who knew who I was and I guess because of my
:06:56. > :06:59.story, I've had a bit of press and they were referring to me by my
:07:00. > :07:02.first name. I was just getting shouts for diva whole way through,
:07:03. > :07:07.with Scottish accents. CHEERING
:07:08. > :07:15.-- shouts for Steve the whole way through. If
:07:16. > :07:22.-- shouts for Steve the whole way story, summit. Fat bloke got thin!
:07:23. > :07:28.33 is old, 16 stone, a big, heavy smoker, a bit of a drinker and a lot
:07:29. > :07:34.of bad takeaway is and not a healthy chap. I decided to take up running
:07:35. > :07:39.to counteract of that nastiness and it led to this. But there's taking
:07:40. > :07:47.up running and then there is taking up running. The first run you did
:07:48. > :07:50.was how far and how fast? I had an inkling that I had, possibly, some
:07:51. > :07:57.underlying stamina underneath that fat suit, as it were. I've always
:07:58. > :08:06.been a bit of a yo-yo with my weight up until the point where I found
:08:07. > :08:10.running as a pastime. I had actually randomly entered local road races
:08:11. > :08:14.and things as an overweight smoker and had actually done quite well
:08:15. > :08:17.without really doing any serious training, so there was an inkling
:08:18. > :08:23.then that there was perhaps something going on that I could
:08:24. > :08:28.utilise to try to get fit and so even when I started in September
:08:29. > :08:32.2007, even as an overweight smoker, I could still go out and jog for a
:08:33. > :08:36.reasonable period of time, which was great because it meant I was burning
:08:37. > :08:40.calories, starting to lose weight, and I started to see the benefits
:08:41. > :08:46.straightaway and then it escalated from there. Seven years later and
:08:47. > :08:51.27,000 training miles later... 27,000 training miles? It gets me
:08:52. > :08:58.round the world from Dorset to Scotland! You should get the
:08:59. > :09:02.equivalent of a miles. It isn't just marathons you do - you go further,
:09:03. > :09:07.don't you? Marathons aren't my strong point, really. It turns out
:09:08. > :09:14.minute show is 100 kilometres, so 62 miles. -- my niche is 100
:09:15. > :09:22.kilometres. I broke the British world record earlier this year.
:09:23. > :09:33.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Your time for that was six hours, 19
:09:34. > :09:38.minutes and 27 seconds. Which works out as six minutes and six seconds
:09:39. > :09:46.per mile for 62 miles. Yeah. That's the good bit! I just wonder... It's
:09:47. > :09:50.an amazing story and I know you said that if you inspire one person to
:09:51. > :09:53.find a marathon runner within the couch potato, you've done your job,
:09:54. > :09:58.but I wonder what it's like living with you. Your wife Sarah is here so
:09:59. > :10:03.you can tell us to grow what are the transformation be like for you?
:10:04. > :10:07.Amazing. We've been together for 17 years so for ten years, I had
:10:08. > :10:14.drinking, smoking, takeaway is Steve, then he decided to take up
:10:15. > :10:18.running and get healthier. He has an underlying talent and it has been
:10:19. > :10:22.phenomenal. All the support from the local clubs and runners in Dorset
:10:23. > :10:28.has been great. Everybody is so proud of him. It's amazing. Any
:10:29. > :10:33.temptation to go training with him? He did try training me for a five K
:10:34. > :10:38.a few years ago but I'm much happier walking my dogs! I'm with you there.
:10:39. > :10:44.That's a very good pastime. But today must have been sensational.
:10:45. > :10:48.Yes, I've been at home in the run-up to this. We only came up yesterday
:10:49. > :10:54.on the train. He's been a magister at the holding tank, then in the
:10:55. > :10:57.athletes' village and he's been overwhelmed and today could have
:10:58. > :11:03.just gone completely to pot and he would have been so when scrawled
:11:04. > :11:05.with all of the people he's seen. He was sat there watching Diamond
:11:06. > :11:11.league with people who are normally on Diamond league. It's just
:11:12. > :11:15.amazing. I'm so chuffed for him. As you can tell, everybody is so happy
:11:16. > :11:19.for him and for you, because you can't do it without massive
:11:20. > :11:30.support. Thank you, Sarah. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Up Steve
:11:31. > :11:35.whispered to me at that point a definite thank you.
:11:36. > :11:44.Do you take it as a compliment that everyone describes you as the common
:11:45. > :11:49.man done good? It is fantastic. Even just to social media channels and
:11:50. > :11:53.things, some any people have said, I have got off the couch because of
:11:54. > :12:05.you. To have that effect on anybody is great. Well done. So we had the
:12:06. > :12:09.marathons this morning, and then the athletics got underway at Hampden
:12:10. > :12:13.Park. First day of athletics of the games
:12:14. > :12:17.saw the first of the heats in the men's 100m. Usain Bolt is only
:12:18. > :12:21.competing in the 4 x 100, so for this event, his fellow compatriot
:12:22. > :12:30.had to provide Jamaica's dominance in his absence. Jamaica win the
:12:31. > :12:35.first heat. Jamaica win the second heat. Yet the Scottish climate
:12:36. > :12:42.seemed to have got the better of Ashmead. The cold and rainy
:12:43. > :12:50.conditions are not helping you. No, but I will live with it. Other
:12:51. > :12:52.notable performances included Northern Ireland's Jason Smith, a
:12:53. > :13:03.visually impaired athlete, finishing fifth. Disappointment for Leon Reid,
:13:04. > :13:06.getting disqualified after his false God. England's which Kilty cemented
:13:07. > :13:10.his place in the God. England's which Kilty cemented
:13:11. > :13:14.his place semis in an unorthodox fashion. They have been given joint
:13:15. > :13:22.second. That has never happened before. But the story of these 100m
:13:23. > :13:32.was England's Adam Gemili, grabbing the fastest time and finishing top
:13:33. > :13:34.of the leaderboard. And there is that smile again.
:13:35. > :13:36.the fastest time and finishing top of the leaderboard. And there is The
:13:37. > :13:43.chair I got was unbelievable, makes you want to push harder. The women's
:13:44. > :13:46.long jump for athletes with mild impairment in the lower body or legs
:13:47. > :13:53.saw the English athlete take home the silver. It is like being in
:13:54. > :13:58.London again. It is amazing when you wave, and everyone is waving back.
:13:59. > :14:08.It is dutiful. And there were also the women's 100m heats. Foster may
:14:09. > :14:16.be getting there. It is a bit cold, but I am just happy to be through to
:14:17. > :14:23.tomorrow. She has got some work to do, doesn't look like she is firing
:14:24. > :14:28.on all cylinders. I only got told I was running on Thursday. When
:14:29. > :14:35.someone says to you, want to run in the Commonwealth Games, I was like,
:14:36. > :14:40.OK! That was a very good performance from Stuart, but also from Bianca
:14:41. > :14:45.Williams. The women's 400m heats also got underway today, with some
:14:46. > :14:53.close finishes. And some not so close. Look at the distance she has
:14:54. > :14:58.put between herself and the others. English bride was defined with three
:14:59. > :14:59.English runners claim their places in the semis. Normally,
:15:00. > :15:03.English runners claim their places anything during the race, but I
:15:04. > :15:08.heard it all down that straight and then round the bend. The day would
:15:09. > :15:15.end with the men's 5000m. No Mo Farah, yet this did not prevent it
:15:16. > :15:24.being a competitive race for glory. Don't expect too many fireworks
:15:25. > :15:31.early on. World champion, Caleb Ndiku, he with the golden hair. He
:15:32. > :15:35.is here to win the gold medal. The prerace favourite has made his big
:15:36. > :15:40.one and it is going to take him to a gold medal. It is going to be a gold
:15:41. > :15:43.for Kenya. Caleb Ndiku, a real character: With golden hair and
:15:44. > :15:48.eight golden performance. character: With golden hair and
:15:49. > :15:54.moves at the athletics. I have come character: With golden hair and
:15:55. > :15:54.to the map area to join Ollie Williams. We set him
:15:55. > :15:58.to the map area to join Ollie beginning of the combo of games to
:15:59. > :16:03.make contact with athletes from each of the 71 nations and territories.
:16:04. > :16:07.How are you getting on? Eight today, 32 so far. Today you had a
:16:08. > :16:11.particularly good story from the Bahamas. Yes, this map is about
:16:12. > :16:16.uncovering the journeys people have made to get to the Commonwealth
:16:17. > :16:19.Games. And a swimmer from the Bahamas, her uncle and cousin were
:16:20. > :16:23.both murdered in shootings before London 2012. That kept her out of
:16:24. > :16:28.London 2012. After that, London 2012. That kept her out of
:16:29. > :16:31.Her grandparents are ill at the London 2012. That kept her out of
:16:32. > :16:44.moment, but when I saw her today, she was proud to be here. Tell us
:16:45. > :16:50.about yourself. I am a swimmer and part-time pin collector. For the
:16:51. > :16:54.Bahamas. You had a relatively tough time leading up to London 2012. You
:16:55. > :17:00.should have been at the home Olympics for the UK. What happened?
:17:01. > :17:04.Life happened. Dealing with death in the family, two members of my
:17:05. > :17:07.family. That was really hard for me and unfortunately, I
:17:08. > :17:12.family. That was really hard for me the cut to go to London. But
:17:13. > :17:17.everything happens for a reason. My family are back home, watching. Both
:17:18. > :17:22.of my grandparents are sick. You never get a break at a major
:17:23. > :17:28.competition. I guess not. I know I have the nation behind me, my
:17:29. > :17:32.family. So I have nothing to fear. They are so proud of you. Good luck
:17:33. > :17:40.for the rest of Glasgow. Thank you so much. It is an amazing story. She
:17:41. > :17:44.said her lifetime best today in the hundred metre freestyle, and reached
:17:45. > :17:50.the semifinals. She got a huge response in the pool. And you have
:17:51. > :17:58.some more? Yes, Andrew Hopkin from grenade -- Grenada. And we have
:17:59. > :18:03.someone from the Maldives. She has always trained in sea water, so she
:18:04. > :18:06.starts sinking when she swims in a freshwater pool. So she has had to
:18:07. > :18:12.really adapt to life in a pool. She is training in Sri Lanka to get
:18:13. > :18:17.around that. We also have someone who set a national record from Fiji.
:18:18. > :18:26.In the athletics, we have Solomon from Sierra Leone. And another from
:18:27. > :18:33.camera room. -- from Cameroon. Another from St Lucia. And I have
:18:34. > :18:41.the Swaziland equivalent of old micro. He is -- Africa's answer to
:18:42. > :18:49.Usain Bolt. A fast and furious flavour of the Commonwealth. Let's
:18:50. > :18:54.bring you the headlines from today. Other stories around today. In
:18:55. > :18:58.Scottish flyweight, Reese McFadden has claimed another big scalp. The
:18:59. > :19:08.19-year-old beat Andrew Selby in the last round and beat Charlie Edwards.
:19:09. > :19:11.Singapore won the first gold at the table tennis competition, beating
:19:12. > :19:18.Malaysia in the final of the women's team event for a fourth consecutive
:19:19. > :19:22.title. In weightlifting, it was a Nigeria
:19:23. > :19:25.want to win the women's 63 kilograms class, with gold going to
:19:26. > :19:32.Olauwatoyin Adesanmi. England's Emily Godley was the top home
:19:33. > :19:37.nations athlete in fifth. In squash, England's two singles
:19:38. > :19:43.world champions reached tomorrow's finals by beating team-mate, Nick
:19:44. > :19:50.Matthew defeated Peter Barker, while Laura Massaro saw off Alison Waters.
:19:51. > :19:53.In netball, Jamaica defeated Scotland 68-26, and after losing to
:19:54. > :20:03.Australia yesterday, England had to dig deep to see off South Africa
:20:04. > :20:07.41-35. A couple of other things that we
:20:08. > :20:13.have to get in other men's 77 kilo weightlifting. Jack Oliver missed
:20:14. > :20:15.out on a bronze by just one kilo. England are guaranteed a silver
:20:16. > :20:20.medal in the badminton after making the final of the mixed team event.
:20:21. > :20:25.And England's table tennis team are in the final as well. Jim says, the
:20:26. > :20:30.netball has been brilliant. Let's get it into the Olympics. Indeed,
:20:31. > :20:33.let's talk about netball. England beat South Africa today after an
:20:34. > :20:38.agonising loss to Australia. I have not got over it, but they have.
:20:39. > :20:46.Joining us, and amaze, coach to the team, our wing defence and Serena
:20:47. > :20:53.Guthrie. I play wing defence as well. So you can swap. It was a
:20:54. > :21:00.tough game today, but nothing too serious. I said you were coming on
:21:01. > :21:03.Twitter earlier and ask for questions, and every single person
:21:04. > :21:12.talked about the physicality from the Australian game. How are you all
:21:13. > :21:18.holding up? How is Serena managing to keep her cool when she is getting
:21:19. > :21:22.hit from every angle? That is a funny clip! Well, it is the
:21:23. > :21:25.Commonwealth Games and everybody wants that medal, so everyone is
:21:26. > :21:30.going hard out there, but the games have been fantastic. We look forward
:21:31. > :21:37.to the physical and mental challenges. Anna, how did you pick
:21:38. > :21:43.them up after that loss to Australia? It was so close. It was a
:21:44. > :21:47.really tough one for us to swallow, having led for 39 minutes of a 60
:21:48. > :21:52.minute game. It is just making sure they have an opportunity to take
:21:53. > :21:57.themselves away, the friends or family or chill out. Some watched TV
:21:58. > :22:01.or film 's last night. I was quite demanding that they got over it
:22:02. > :22:05.quickly, because we had to face South Africa, who are a great team.
:22:06. > :22:14.So we had to make sure we were up for it. You said today that you won
:22:15. > :22:17.ugly. It was not witty netball. But at the end of the day, if you are
:22:18. > :22:22.going to win me you have to make sure you get that under your belt.
:22:23. > :22:27.All credit to the girls, because it was hard to swallow, losing that
:22:28. > :22:31.match. Did it help that you could get straight back into it and did
:22:32. > :22:37.not have a few days to wait? In a lot of ways, it did, because we did
:22:38. > :22:43.not have an opportunity to wallow or get down about it. You just needed
:22:44. > :22:47.to recover and get back into it. So it was probably the best situation,
:22:48. > :22:51.because a lot of people were very disappointed. It has been fabulous
:22:52. > :22:56.to watch. I know there is more to come, because I know you cant beat
:22:57. > :23:03.New Zealand and get through to the gold medal match. I am excited, and
:23:04. > :23:12.everybody is. We wish you well. And then we want you back on. Thank you
:23:13. > :23:27.very much. Now, let's get a roundup of the
:23:28. > :23:32.shooting from David Curry. Gold medals to be won in the
:23:33. > :23:39.shooting today, both in the double cup event. First, the women's final.
:23:40. > :23:45.120 targets for each competitor, two at a time. And whoever wins the most
:23:46. > :23:50.wins. It plugs in, and off we go. England's Charlotte Kerwood has been
:23:51. > :23:54.the face of British trap shooting. She has won gold in this event in
:23:55. > :23:58.its last two stagings. To make it a hat-trick tom she needed to hit 17
:23:59. > :24:05.of her last 30 targets. Despite a wobble, she did it, hitting 19
:24:06. > :24:14.targets for gold. A hat-trick of Commonwealth golds now. Yeah, it is
:24:15. > :24:18.a good feeling. Every Commonwealth I have been to, I have got gold
:24:19. > :24:22.medals, so it is good. Another English shooter, Rachel Parish,
:24:23. > :24:29.faced the sudden death shoot off for bronze. The accident and emergency
:24:30. > :24:33.doctor held in to see off Canada for the medal. To get a bronze is
:24:34. > :24:39.definitely better than nothing. The men's event is more complicated. The
:24:40. > :24:46.top six were fired for a 30 shots E final, with the top two in that
:24:47. > :24:49.going onto a gold medal match. But a three-way tie meant a sudden death
:24:50. > :25:00.shoot off, involving England's Steve Scott and Matthew French, along with
:25:01. > :25:04.the Indian competitor. Now the gold medal match will determine which one
:25:05. > :25:12.it is who will wear the gold medal. So, an all English final. Who would
:25:13. > :25:17.prevail? And Steven Scott claims the gold medal by one target. What a
:25:18. > :25:22.remarkable gold medal match, just the one target missed in the match.
:25:23. > :25:27.Have you ever been in a more high-pressure situation than that?
:25:28. > :25:30.Not with a team-mate. The strange thing was, we talked about this a
:25:31. > :25:36.lot in the build-up, wouldn't it be amazing if we could both make the
:25:37. > :25:40.gold medal match? Dream come true. I said before, I don't care who wins.
:25:41. > :25:46.So, a one-two for England in the men's double cup, and two medals in
:25:47. > :25:55.the women's double trap. Not a bad day's shooting for England.
:25:56. > :26:00.Brilliant. It was. Various tweets have come in. Keep them coming. Phil
:26:01. > :26:07.says Steve Way is helping him get inspired and he's going to increase
:26:08. > :26:12.his work at the gym this week. This one is from someone who is more of a
:26:13. > :26:16.football fan but has enjoyed the rugby sevens. We will be talking
:26:17. > :26:19.more about it later but it was the last day of action in the velodrome.
:26:20. > :26:24.Let's wrap things up with Jill Douglas.
:26:25. > :26:28.We've had some amazing moments here at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome over
:26:29. > :26:31.the last few days and tonight should be no different. It is the final
:26:32. > :26:32.session in the track cycling programme and there are five gold
:26:33. > :26:43.medals still up for grabs. COMMENTATOR: Away goes Aileen
:26:44. > :26:53.McGlynn with Louise Ashford on the tandem. -- Louise Haston. The
:26:54. > :27:00.applause goes up around the arena. A superb ride from Aileen McGlynn and
:27:01. > :27:06.Louise Haston. Sophie Thornhill, the world champion from England, and
:27:07. > :27:14.away. This English tandem is absolutely flying at the moment.
:27:15. > :27:15.1.45 seconds quicker. Round for one final time. One final time. 1.5
:27:16. > :27:20.seconds final time. One final time. 1.5
:27:21. > :27:21.champion and the gold medal goes to England, stunningly quick all the
:27:22. > :27:26.way through that wide. England, stunningly quick all the
:27:27. > :27:28.-- ride. More success for the home nations and there were further
:27:29. > :27:33.medals to follow nations and there were further
:27:34. > :27:36.spring. There was an eight Commonwealth medal for Anna Meares
:27:37. > :27:38.but not the colour we've grown to expect. As she got enough to
:27:39. > :27:43.challenge? No, she hasn't, expect. As she got enough to
:27:44. > :27:44.Commonwealth title changes hands. Stephanie Morton is the new
:27:45. > :27:48.Commonwealth sprint champion. Stephanie Morton is the new
:27:49. > :27:51.Australia also claimed a victory in the men's Keirrison. But how would
:27:52. > :28:06.the home nations fare the men's Keirrison. But how would
:28:07. > :28:16.races? He's being chased all the way. It looks as if he might be
:28:17. > :28:25.overhauled for third Shane Archbold from New Zealand.
:28:26. > :28:33.Can she hang on and get the five points? Yes, she can. That means
:28:34. > :28:40.that Elinor Barker is now in the goal position by a
:28:41. > :28:43.that Elinor Barker is now in the head of Laura Trott. What a final
:28:44. > :28:48.lap as Katie Archibald goes around the outside. Laura Trott for England
:28:49. > :28:54.around on the outside. Scotland lead the way.
:28:55. > :29:04.Laura Trott takes Commonwealth title. When I saw that she was one
:29:05. > :29:12.would ahead of me, I thought, "I'm dying but there's no way I'm losing
:29:13. > :29:16.this race". Bronze for Katie Archibald of Scotland. Silver for
:29:17. > :29:19.Wales and Elinor Barker and gold for England and Laura Trott. Someone
:29:20. > :29:23.before moments in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome over the last four days.
:29:24. > :29:26.Australia topped the medal table but some great performances from the
:29:27. > :29:30.home nations. It's a shame it has to end!
:29:31. > :29:34.Medals in the air but love in the errors well. This is Scottish
:29:35. > :29:48.cyclist Krist Prichard celebrating after the proposal to his govern was
:29:49. > :29:53.accepted. -- Chris Prichard. And Aileen McGlynn also got a proposal.
:29:54. > :29:54.Sir Chris Hoy has joined us on the sofa.
:29:55. > :30:05.APPLAUSE The plus side being the most famous
:30:06. > :30:08.man in Glasgow during the Commonwealth Games is that you get a
:30:09. > :30:11.lot of love wherever you go but sometimes it is quite overboard,
:30:12. > :30:15.isn't it? I think you're referring to something that happened to me
:30:16. > :30:19.today. My wife and I were in the taxi on the way to the stadium and I
:30:20. > :30:24.heard a little knock-on the window at a set of traffic lights. There
:30:25. > :30:29.was a chap there with his camera out and I thought, OK, take a picture.
:30:30. > :30:33.But he thought I meant he could come into the taxi so he jumped in the
:30:34. > :30:41.taxi, took a selfie and went back out again! What did your wife say?
:30:42. > :30:45.Not a lot! She was a bit shocked! You have an anecdote every time you
:30:46. > :30:50.come on this show. We are going to bring on our medallists, England's
:30:51. > :30:54.medallists, from the track, not just today but during the course of the
:30:55. > :30:59.tournament. Please welcome Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell al.
:31:00. > :31:24.Congratulations to both of you. Joanna, you won the individual
:31:25. > :31:29.pursuit and Laura, today, the points race. And you didn't even realise
:31:30. > :31:34.you had won! I didn't. I thought Elinor Barker did! I congratulated
:31:35. > :31:37.her and I think she thought I was taking the Mickey because then the
:31:38. > :31:42.scoreboard change. I thought I should go and say sorry. It is
:31:43. > :31:45.understandable because it isn't the easiest thing to follow, is it? I
:31:46. > :31:50.sure you've been asked millions of times but how do you follow it when
:31:51. > :31:54.you out there? Our coaches going nuts at the sidelines so he gives us
:31:55. > :31:58.all the information and it comes up on the board but sometimes it can be
:31:59. > :32:01.a bit slow. The second from last sprint, I wasn't seeing stars and
:32:02. > :32:05.all sorts and the last thing I wanted to do was look about the
:32:06. > :32:10.board! I do that hope for the best in the last sprint and it paid off.
:32:11. > :32:14.In the individual pursuit, Victoria Pendleton was trying to explain to
:32:15. > :32:19.me that you don't want to look up so you stay as streamlined as possible.
:32:20. > :32:24.And you watch your coach's feet and look for signals from your coach?
:32:25. > :32:28.Yes, the coach stands on the start line and as I come round, if I'm
:32:29. > :32:32.winning or by my schedule, he will walk up the track and wait for me
:32:33. > :32:38.and if I'm losing, he'll walk towards me. You can tell by where he
:32:39. > :32:41.is stood in relation to the finish line is I'm winning or losing so
:32:42. > :32:45.that's how I know what is going on so the first six laps of the race,
:32:46. > :32:49.half the distance, he tells me whether I'm up or down on my own
:32:50. > :32:53.schedule, then whether I'm losing all winning. So after the sixth, he
:32:54. > :32:58.did little thumbs up and I thought it was a good sign. It was two steps
:32:59. > :33:02.up then three steps up and each step is a 10th of a second. You can't see
:33:03. > :33:09.it properly when you're racing. He is above the line so that's a good
:33:10. > :33:12.sign. There has to be a more sophisticated way of giving you this
:33:13. > :33:16.situation. You are trying so hard, you can just see the coach and see
:33:17. > :33:22.it is OK that he's there. You don't want numbers and stuff thrown at
:33:23. > :33:24.you. Joanna, as far as I'm aware, you've been healthy and fit
:33:25. > :33:31.throughout the competition but Laura, you've been really sick.
:33:32. > :33:35.Yeah, I have. The morning of the individual pursuit felt like the
:33:36. > :33:39.middle of the night for me. I went and got a doctor and I had severe
:33:40. > :33:46.back pain. I knew something wasn't right straightaway and he diagnosed
:33:47. > :33:53.me with a kidney infection, which, Beasley, was a bit inconvenient! I
:33:54. > :34:00.try to get it the I could. -- obviously. I underperformed, which
:34:01. > :34:03.was a bit disappointing, but I guess it just helps to motivate me and set
:34:04. > :34:10.me up nicely for the points race today. You've survived an porridge?
:34:11. > :34:18.Yeah, yeah. Are you expecting a porridge deal? This is a good advert
:34:19. > :34:27.for it! I can get you some haggis, as well! Porridge was the only thing
:34:28. > :34:30.I really fancied. People kept bringing dried chicken and rice and
:34:31. > :34:35.it isn't the most tasty thing in the world so porridge it was. In terms
:34:36. > :34:39.of your team members, the girls in your team in the Olympics when they
:34:40. > :34:44.come, it was a good performance all round. Yes, the girls have had a
:34:45. > :34:48.good week all round. Elinor Barker got a bronze medal yesterday in the
:34:49. > :34:53.scratch race then I got a medal on Friday so we had a good week. It's
:34:54. > :34:56.gone to plan. Chris, have you noticed when you've been in the
:34:57. > :35:05.velodrome that the home nations have been very close? As in friendly.
:35:06. > :35:10.Yes, we get on. Don't worry. We get on well. It is very strange because
:35:11. > :35:14.you train together for three years and 11 months of every four year
:35:15. > :35:18.cycle. It's just the very last moment that you split and go your
:35:19. > :35:21.separate ways. You are competing for different teams but they are your
:35:22. > :35:26.friends and your team-mates and if you can't win, it's nice to see one
:35:27. > :35:30.of your friends will instead. Congratulations on your
:35:31. > :35:34.performances. Let's give a big round of applause one more time.
:35:35. > :35:39.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Sir Chris is going to stay with us
:35:40. > :35:44.and we are going to bring on some more English cycling gold medallist.
:35:45. > :35:53.COMMENTATOR: This is going to be a tremendous battle. It's all on the
:35:54. > :35:56.line here, 250 metres to go. Gold for England and for the world
:35:57. > :36:03.champion Sophie Thornhill. She is piloted by Helen Scott. They've got
:36:04. > :36:08.the speed now but can they hang onto it over the final metres?
:36:09. > :36:10.the speed now but can they hang onto really hurts but the
:36:11. > :36:12.the speed now but can they hang onto really good. The gold medal goes to
:36:13. > :36:17.England really good. The gold medal goes to
:36:18. > :36:23.Sophie Thornhill piloted by Helen Scott. She wins for the second time
:36:24. > :36:27.this week. We're delighted that our double gold
:36:28. > :36:29.medallists are here. Give a warm welcome to Sophie Thornhill and
:36:30. > :36:50.Helen Scott. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:36:51. > :36:53.I'm doing this is on our behalf! Kissing for both
:36:54. > :36:58.I'm doing this is on our behalf! we'd fall over each other. So,
:36:59. > :37:05.double, double. Did this one mean more? Completely. This is our
:37:06. > :37:06.Paralympic event so it was the big one and I can't believe we did it
:37:07. > :37:12.Paralympic event so it was the big and I can't believe the time we did,
:37:13. > :37:14.as well. I just can't believe it! I suppose the next question is, can
:37:15. > :37:19.you believe it? No. OK, so both suppose the next question is, can
:37:20. > :37:27.you can't believe it! Sophie, you are pretty young. How old? I'm only
:37:28. > :37:33.18. So this is a massive step up? Definitely. This is my first major.
:37:34. > :37:37.This is another step for me. I'm walking around and seeing famous
:37:38. > :37:43.faces. I'm sat here next to Chris Hoy! It's been brilliant. What about
:37:44. > :37:48.meeting those people or talking to them makes you feel, "I
:37:49. > :37:51.meeting those people or talking to improve this, " and does it make you
:37:52. > :37:53.believe that you want improve this, " and does it make you
:37:54. > :37:59.the next ten years? Definitely. We improve this, " and does it make you
:38:00. > :38:05.to win it but you see other people thinking they've got to do it. Chris
:38:06. > :38:10.has won how many gold medals? If I can
:38:11. > :38:12.has won how many gold medals? If I more commonwealth gold medals than
:38:13. > :38:16.has won how many gold medals? If I I've got now! I'll take it! What has
:38:17. > :38:25.been the oddest thing about this experience? Er, it's just been
:38:26. > :38:30.crazy. We have gone a little bit mad in the village, to be honest! Us
:38:31. > :38:36.girls ended up in a laughing fit last night over not thing! Because
:38:37. > :38:41.we've just been sat in our rooms, yesterday we just burst out
:38:42. > :38:51.laughing. We just couldn't control ourselves for an hour. And our? !
:38:52. > :38:54.Maybe that's what Greg Rutherford was complaining about when he was
:38:55. > :38:58.talking about the noise in the village! It was a brilliant
:38:59. > :39:02.performance. I know the home nations were very successful but so were
:39:03. > :39:03.Australia and today, Australia crowned its greatest ever
:39:04. > :39:10.Australia and today, Australia crowned its female cyclist because
:39:11. > :39:13.Anna Meares went past the all-time total of Commonwealth medals. She is
:39:14. > :39:28.here with Stephanie Morton. Hello, and! -- Anna Meares. We all know you
:39:29. > :39:34.extremely well because we remember you with Victoria Pendleton but you
:39:35. > :39:41.are best friends now. I ran into her at the track going through the media
:39:42. > :39:46.zone. I was like, "there is a face I know!" Victoria Pendleton
:39:47. > :39:49.interviewing me was very... Interesting. It was really nice to
:39:50. > :39:54.see her. It's been two years since I saw her. It was really nice just to
:39:55. > :40:02.catch up. She asked me the first question and I was gobsmacked. I
:40:03. > :40:04.think she is beyond baulk -- Bjorn Borg to your John McEnroe in that
:40:05. > :40:09.you might miss her now she not there. But now you have a new
:40:10. > :40:13.rivalry from within. A lot of people bring up the Bjorn Borg and John
:40:14. > :40:17.McEnroe rivalry but Victoria Pendleton brought the best out of me
:40:18. > :40:23.and, unfortunately, I think I'm doing that with Steph. You were epic
:40:24. > :40:29.today, Steph. Thanks. How was it for you? A bit of a shock but what I
:40:30. > :40:32.crossed the line, I to my mum and dad and saw their reactions and it
:40:33. > :40:40.made it worthwhile. And this is mapped to won the keirin weather
:40:41. > :40:44.yes, that's me. Congratulations. That's the one with the electric
:40:45. > :40:52.bike first which looks hysterical but you all go hell for leather at
:40:53. > :40:58.the end. The That is right, it is hell for leather to the end. Did you
:40:59. > :41:03.think before the race that you were likely to win it? I knew I had a
:41:04. > :41:08.chance. But all the Australian sprinters were there. There were
:41:09. > :41:13.three of us, two Kiwis. One did a sprint the day before, so it was
:41:14. > :41:18.going to be a tight battle. To get in the final, I went to the front.
:41:19. > :41:23.But to win it, I would have to come off a wheel. It worked out
:41:24. > :41:27.perfectly. Eddie Dawkins from New Zealand came around and gave me a
:41:28. > :41:32.good sit. I had a Malaysian behind me telling me to go three times in
:41:33. > :41:39.the race. He yelled at me, go, go, go! I was like, not yet! I think I
:41:40. > :41:44.understood some of that. As the track cycling has finished, I wonder
:41:45. > :41:49.what you feel now that it has all taken place in this velodrome named
:41:50. > :41:58.after you? It has actually been quite an emotional week. I presented
:41:59. > :42:01.a medal to Annette Edmundson from Australia and the rest from the
:42:02. > :42:06.ladies' scratch racing a couple of weeks ago. And I suddenly realised,
:42:07. > :42:11.that is it, my time as an athlete is over, and I am on the other side
:42:12. > :42:15.now, presenting medals rather than receiving them. But I enjoyed
:42:16. > :42:20.spectating and cheering on the teams and soaking up the atmosphere. As an
:42:21. > :42:28.athlete, you are so focused on what you are doing that you don't get a
:42:29. > :42:33.chance to enjoy it until it is over. And it has provided some of the best
:42:34. > :42:39.atmosphere. That has been one of the big success stories of the games,
:42:40. > :42:47.the para pendants. It has been great entertainment -- the para tandems.
:42:48. > :42:54.It has been great. Congratulations to both of you for your double
:42:55. > :42:58.golds. I am sure you will be laughing a lot more later this
:42:59. > :43:02.evening. I can't wait for your next anecdote from your time in Glasgow.
:43:03. > :43:08.I am glad we have got the Aussies here, because they have had a
:43:09. > :43:13.billion to day across the board. -- a brilliant day. Anna, you carried
:43:14. > :43:18.the flag at the opening ceremony. You are not going to make missing?
:43:19. > :43:22.No, I will not make you sing. Do you know how many medals Australia got
:43:23. > :43:31.today, alone? It is nine, just today. And four of them came from
:43:32. > :43:44.the pool. Let's round up the action at Tollcross.
:43:45. > :43:52.Hocking looking very good for Australia. World Championship silver
:43:53. > :43:56.medallist. But it is a big fight. It looks like it may be Seebohm of
:43:57. > :44:10.Australia. The gold has gone to Australia. What a race. A brilliant
:44:11. > :44:22.second 100m. Looks like McEvoy started really well. Magnus can see
:44:23. > :44:24.McEvoy. -- Magnusson. The world champion is going to win it.
:44:25. > :44:37.world champion becomes Commonwealth champion. James Magnusson of
:44:38. > :44:40.Australia. 13 years of age, the youngest
:44:41. > :44:47.Scottish competitor in Commonwealth Games history. A decent start in the
:44:48. > :44:53.Centre for the big prerace favourite from New Zealand, Sophie Pascoe.
:44:54. > :44:57.Pascoe over first. Sophie Pascoe gets the gold for New Zealand, but
:44:58. > :45:04.can we get a medal for Scotland? I think we can all stop I think she
:45:05. > :45:13.has got a bronze. That is really on. -- it is brilliant. Two England
:45:14. > :45:20.swimmers in first and second right now. This is a fantastic swim. This
:45:21. > :45:24.is wonderful to see. She has been struggling all year, but could
:45:25. > :45:30.produce the swim of her life. She is miles ahead! Clear water between her
:45:31. > :45:38.and the Australia. It is gold to England, gold to Siobhan-Marie
:45:39. > :45:47.O'Connor. A wonderful swim for her. And finally, she has won
:45:48. > :45:55.Commonwealth gold. The final of the men's 50m backstroke.
:45:56. > :46:02.Liam Tancock going well in two. If he can hold on, he can get a medal.
:46:03. > :46:13.Then covers gets the touch. -- Ben Treffers. Gold for Australia.
:46:14. > :46:18.The fastest qualifier, Fran Halsall, has a very good start. She
:46:19. > :46:24.has got to focus, because Vanderpool Wallace is still going for the
:46:25. > :46:33.Bahamas. Fran Halsall has got it. It is gold again to England, and gold
:46:34. > :46:39.again to Fran Halsall. Australia have now just taken the lead. Looks
:46:40. > :46:45.like Scotland may be in second place in the blue hat. That is a super
:46:46. > :46:49.swim. They could be pushing for the title. The medals must be going to
:46:50. > :46:56.these three, it is just who will get the gold, silver and bronze. Can the
:46:57. > :47:04.Scots grab a gold medal? It is going to be Australia's gold medal.
:47:05. > :47:10.Australia win the men's four x 200 freestyle relay. Scotland gets
:47:11. > :47:15.silver. Stunning stuff. Whilst you were watching the swimming, you can
:47:16. > :47:23.see that you, our Barman, has found somebody to drink his cocktail. --
:47:24. > :47:32.you, our Barman. He has done a special Bondi Beach cocktail. They
:47:33. > :47:42.are loving it. Mark Foster, the lovely Mark Foster, is with us. To
:47:43. > :47:48.discuss today's events in the pool, which were sensational. Respect to
:47:49. > :47:53.Australia, they had a clean sweep. But what about Siobhan-Marie
:47:54. > :47:56.O'Connor? Stunning. At the beginning of the session, we were worried,
:47:57. > :47:59.because Australia got a one-two in the first event and they want to
:48:00. > :48:05.three in the second event. We thought it was going to be like it
:48:06. > :48:10.used to be. Fortunately, England came back at the end. Siobhan-Marie
:48:11. > :48:10.O'Connor was phenomenal. She was ahead
:48:11. > :48:15.O'Connor was phenomenal. She was swimming is a country mile. Three
:48:16. > :48:21.years ago, European junior champion. She
:48:22. > :48:24.years ago, European junior setup around her. She now trains
:48:25. > :48:29.years ago, European junior Bath. Her boyfriend won a race as
:48:30. > :48:32.well. She has just grown. She is 18, and we have seen a huge shift
:48:33. > :48:35.well. She has just grown. She is 18, swimming over the last few years. I
:48:36. > :48:40.was worried that when Becky gave up and half the team gave
:48:41. > :48:41.was worried that when Becky gave up gap. There were five or
:48:42. > :48:45.618-year-olds like Ross Murdoch gap. There were five or
:48:46. > :48:54.must mention Hannah Miley getting gap. There were five or
:48:55. > :48:56.effort from her. She is having a wonderful Commonwealth
:48:57. > :49:00.effort from her. She is having a front of her home crowd. Fran
:49:01. > :49:03.Halsall, the first woman ever to do that double in the Commonwealth
:49:04. > :49:07.Games. There are so many phenomenal things
:49:08. > :49:10.Games. There are so many phenomenal moment. But the times she is
:49:11. > :49:11.swimming, sometimes you see athletes go through a stale phase, if you
:49:12. > :49:16.swimming, sometimes you see athletes like. She has a new coach now, James
:49:17. > :49:22.Gibson, a good friend of mine. He was Commonwealth champion in 2006.
:49:23. > :49:23.When James came back to the UK after the Olympic Games and he coached a
:49:24. > :49:28.guy who won the Olympic gold medal, the Olympic Games and he coached a
:49:29. > :49:31.she was a bit unsure the Olympic Games and he coached a
:49:32. > :49:35.training methods. I think when you change things, anybody would be
:49:36. > :49:39.unsure, because if you know something works, you want to do
:49:40. > :49:46.that. But she kept believing and the results are coming. She's really
:49:47. > :49:49.smiling. She is still only 24. Jonathan says, the swimming has been
:49:50. > :50:04.sensational. When you think it Jonathan says, the swimming has been
:50:05. > :50:14.wins bronze. This was her. Great fingernails. When did you
:50:15. > :50:19.start swimming? When I was four. And how often do you swim these days?
:50:20. > :50:25.Nine times a week. Are you up early in the morning? No, I live too far
:50:26. > :50:33.away from the pool to do that. How far away are you? Five minutes to
:50:34. > :50:37.rising. -- 25 minutes driving. A big support team from your mum and dad.
:50:38. > :50:43.The whole of Shetland are watching you today. Is there anyone you want
:50:44. > :50:54.to say hello to? Just all my friends and family. She is called Erraid
:50:55. > :51:02.Davies. She is 13 years old. And she won a bronze medal. It was one of
:51:03. > :51:06.the highlights of the games. Beautiful. She came up after the
:51:07. > :51:10.morning heats to sit in the chair and be interviewed by myself and
:51:11. > :51:14.Helen Scott and was an absolute sweetheart. I think she was more
:51:15. > :51:18.impressed by Helen Scott from children's TV. But we signed her
:51:19. > :51:24.heat sheet and she promised us she would come back up tomorrow with the
:51:25. > :51:32.medal. No medallist has been up to our commentary position yet. So she
:51:33. > :51:36.will be with you tomorrow. Hopefully. She was such a
:51:37. > :51:40.sweetheart. Thank you for coming to see us. Let me mention one thing
:51:41. > :51:58.while Chris Hoy is over there. He has six gold medals. 1986,
:51:59. > :52:02.Commonwealth Games bronze medal. We crack on to round up now everything
:52:03. > :52:11.that happened on the final day of the rugby sevens. A boisterous Ibrox
:52:12. > :52:13.crowd faced a thrilling final day of the rugby sevens competition.
:52:14. > :52:19.Four-time Commonwealth champions New Zealand got the perfect start in
:52:20. > :52:23.their quarterfinal against Kenya. The most powerful of efforts from
:52:24. > :52:30.Ben Lam. It is all New Zealand at the moment. The all Blacks were
:52:31. > :52:37.stunned. Ben Lam settled the New Zealand nerves. Wales dominated the
:52:38. > :52:47.Wallabies in the first half of this one, opening up a 19-0 lead. That
:52:48. > :52:55.was sevens at its best. It has been the perfect first half for Wales.
:52:56. > :53:01.And they score before half-time, just what they needed heading into
:53:02. > :53:04.the break. A mighty comeback from Australia. Welsh hearts were
:53:05. > :53:13.broken. Samoa started the stronger here, but England produced the first
:53:14. > :53:14.score. England were a man down when James Rodgers was sent to the sin
:53:15. > :53:37.bin. Scotland got off to the worst
:53:38. > :53:41.possible start against South Africa. For a moment, it looked as if
:53:42. > :53:45.Scotland were on the brink of something special, but South Africa
:53:46. > :53:48.showed their quality. In the first semifinal, Australia against New
:53:49. > :53:53.Zealand, who have never lost a match in Commonwealth Games sevens. It has
:53:54. > :54:06.taken less than 60 seconds to puncture the golden defence. New
:54:07. > :54:08.Zealand are still unbeatable. Samoa seized the initiative against on
:54:09. > :54:26.four South Africa in their semifinal. A wonderful sevens tried
:54:27. > :54:30.from Cornell Hendricks! We are watching some great play here. So
:54:31. > :54:33.with New Zealand once again in the final alongside South Africa, it was
:54:34. > :54:49.down to Samoa and Australia for bronze. Samoa are one man short, and
:54:50. > :54:58.they are going to pay for that. And Sam Myers makes sure it will be
:54:59. > :55:04.Aussie bronze. We got into the final, we got one of the shocks of
:55:05. > :55:08.the whole Commonwealth Games. New Zealand, normally so imperious in
:55:09. > :55:12.the sevens, beaten in the final - the first time they've ever lost a
:55:13. > :55:15.match. South Africa took the gold medal.
:55:16. > :55:17.the first time they've ever lost a match. South Africa took the And
:55:18. > :55:23.boy, didn't they enjoyed it! So, South Africa are the gold
:55:24. > :55:27.medallists. New Zealand get the silver. These cocktails are going
:55:28. > :55:30.down very well at the bar. It has never been this busy full top Mark
:55:31. > :55:35.Foster has followed me over, the Aussie cyclists are still here. Look
:55:36. > :55:41.at you to sat on the end! You've been here the whole show. That is a
:55:42. > :55:44.huge shock, isn't it? Yes, they've never lost a game in the
:55:45. > :55:47.Commonwealth Games that they were favourites. They were playing
:55:48. > :55:51.extremely well but I think throughout the tournament South
:55:52. > :55:55.Africa were the better side and they thoroughly deserved to win. It was a
:55:56. > :55:59.fantastic performance by them. It was an amazing two days. I think
:56:00. > :56:03.South Africa were the best team in the tournament so I'm not sure it
:56:04. > :56:08.was as big a shock. New Zealand have never lost a game so that is where
:56:09. > :56:13.the shock was but the two days at Ibrox, when it was first announced
:56:14. > :56:18.we were going there, I was a bit concerned. 50,000? There has been
:56:19. > :56:22.over 180,000 in the last few days. The Scottish crowd have done it
:56:23. > :56:27.proud but the players have put on a fantastic show. Just brilliant.
:56:28. > :56:31.CHEERING Every single game had a great
:56:32. > :56:36.atmosphere and every underdog was cheered to the rafters. New Zealand
:56:37. > :56:38.played against Barbados and we were slightly worried about the Barbados
:56:39. > :56:44.side because they had guys playing in the second division of English
:56:45. > :56:47.rugby but they enjoyed their experience and as they lost, they
:56:48. > :56:53.went down and they played against teams of a similar level to them. I
:56:54. > :56:57.thought it was a great tournament and a fantastic final. Was the
:56:58. > :57:05.biggest disappointment this lunch time England, Wales and Scotland all
:57:06. > :57:12.going out? Yes, it was to have. -- it was tough. England came up
:57:13. > :57:16.against the might of South Africa. It was a great tournament all round.
:57:17. > :57:26.I think we got the best team that won it in the end. Wales probably
:57:27. > :57:30.should have won Australia. We have got used to losing in the last
:57:31. > :57:33.seconds to Australia and getting a bit fed up of it. To rub it in,
:57:34. > :57:33.seconds to Australia and getting a lost against England in the last
:57:34. > :57:38.second as well so it hasn't lost against England in the last
:57:39. > :57:44.been a good day for me! But it has got better in the last hour or so,
:57:45. > :57:51.hasn't it? It was a great experience to be at Ibrox and listening to the
:57:52. > :57:57.Ibrox fans shouting for England and Wales and Uganda, it has certainly
:57:58. > :58:01.been a bit different! This is going to be in the Rio Olympics so it can
:58:02. > :58:05.only grow. This is going to be massive. Rugby sevens is going to
:58:06. > :58:09.explode. In Rio, it will be amazing. Fiji will be back in. They went here
:58:10. > :58:15.for the reasons we know but they will enhance it. -- they weren't
:58:16. > :58:22.here. China taken very seriously Russia. The Rugby sevens in Rio will
:58:23. > :58:29.be phenomenal. Thank you. Rugby sevens at Ibrox was phenomenal.
:58:30. > :58:35.CHEERING It was a fantastic tournament.
:58:36. > :58:38.It will be an Olympic sport but the Commonwealth Games gives you things
:58:39. > :58:41.that sometimes feel a big step and rugby sevens so far has been one of
:58:42. > :58:47.them. Netball is one of them and lawn bowls is another. Today we saw
:58:48. > :58:52.an extraordinary great escape from Alex Marshall and Paul Foster of
:58:53. > :58:59.Scotland and the invention of a new celebration.
:59:00. > :59:13.Looks like she's made it. That's a great second. She's much better than
:59:14. > :59:25.this. She will move up a gear. It's remarkable how things can
:59:26. > :59:29.change in a match. I don't think she's reaching but it is pretty
:59:30. > :59:35.good. Oh, she's up enough. This is absolutely massive! A big swing on
:59:36. > :59:41.the ball but it has not made it and she's going back to Jo Edwards to
:59:42. > :59:53.concede the match. Jo Edwards will take the gold.
:59:54. > :00:01.She doesn't want to promote that, either. Oh, she has. She has given
:00:02. > :00:08.the game away. That's disappointing for Catherine McMillan.
:00:09. > :00:17.Foot down, that's where they want it. Coming straight to the foot. You
:00:18. > :00:25.can't ask for better than that. South Africa's work is done.
:00:26. > :00:34.Silver for Malaysia and gold for South Africa.
:00:35. > :00:47.The Kiwis are ecstatic. This would be a miracle. I don't think so. It's
:00:48. > :00:52.caught on the short ball. The Kiwis are going to take the bronze.
:00:53. > :00:56.Well, I've come to join or leave. I can't go near the map because that
:00:57. > :01:03.is Clare's domain and she is so precious about it, I can't even
:01:04. > :01:07.touch it! There is a nation that has terrified me in the search for 71
:01:08. > :01:10.nations and territories to talk to because one country has sent only
:01:11. > :01:15.one athlete of the Commonwealth Games so if I miss them, it falls
:01:16. > :01:22.down like a hard house of cards. Mercifully, I have found. Welcome at
:01:23. > :01:32.the entirety of the Brunei team, Mohammed Mahdi. Just how lonely is
:01:33. > :01:40.it being the only member of a team in the, games? I thought about that
:01:41. > :01:44.before coming to Scotland. But when I came here, it was totally
:01:45. > :01:50.different. I thought I was going to be lonely for the whole Games but
:01:51. > :01:56.since I came here, everyone in Scotland is really supportive and
:01:57. > :02:02.everyone has been friendly so I don't feel really lonely. I know
:02:03. > :02:09.you've been really close to qualifying for a couple of finals.
:02:10. > :02:14.How happy are you with the way that your Commonwealth has gone? Well,
:02:15. > :02:19.even though I could not manage to go through, it is not a bad start for
:02:20. > :02:23.me. It isn't bad because you are a track cyclist here and there is no
:02:24. > :02:32.velodrome in Brunei, is that? No, we don't have any velodrome so I never
:02:33. > :02:35.trained on the track before. I just lack experience on the track so it
:02:36. > :02:41.isn't bad for me, even though I didn't manage to go to the final.
:02:42. > :02:44.How do you train, then? I only train on the road, never on the track. But
:02:45. > :02:51.I race on the track. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:02:52. > :03:01.Is that quite scary when you get into the velodrome? Yeah, it's quite
:03:02. > :03:13.hard! You feel like you are going to... Fall over? That's right. This
:03:14. > :03:18.is the biggest game ever. I want you to do something for me. Can you dash
:03:19. > :03:20.over there and add yourself to the map and add yourself on Brunei?
:03:21. > :03:41.CHEERING Thank you.
:03:42. > :03:50.Well done. I want to show you something else that happened today,
:03:51. > :03:58.as well, in the table tennis. It's just an unbelievable rally between
:03:59. > :03:59.Singapore and Nigeria. It's the defence of the Nigerian that is
:04:00. > :04:14.truly astonishing. He goes further back, gets brought
:04:15. > :04:15.in, and all you are doing at the moment is hoping that he eventually
:04:16. > :04:32.wins this point! CLARE BALDING: Please tell me he
:04:33. > :04:36.does! And he does! That's fantastic. How good was that? Here is your
:04:37. > :05:01.medals table. More action tomorrow across the BBC
:05:02. > :05:07.and we have the men's and women's 100 meter finals, the badminton
:05:08. > :05:12.mixed team final, table tennis men's team cup final, the squash singles
:05:13. > :05:19.final, and all England battle in the men's between Nick Matthew and James
:05:20. > :05:23.Willstrop, and also the women's. Women's boxing also starts
:05:24. > :05:32.tomorrow, with Nicola Adams in action. We will be back at 10:40pm
:05:33. > :05:41.tomorrow. We've raided the bar to get the guests back! Look how
:05:42. > :05:46.miserable the four of them look. The medallists are all heading off for
:05:47. > :05:51.an early night because they think like athletes but these boys are up
:05:52. > :05:58.for a big night out. Cassandra says, "Steve Way for minister of
:05:59. > :06:04.health, who has achieved what the ministry of health wants us to do".
:06:05. > :06:10.Alan Ferguson have a great night at the final rugby sevens night
:06:11. > :06:16.tonight. Well done, South Africa. Thanks to all of our medallists and
:06:17. > :06:17.our experts. All happy men! Thanks to the studio audience and thank you
