    Commonwealth Games

    Terrific performances by Duncan Scott in the swimming this evening. Doesn't seem to get the wider credit he deserves as one of Scotland's finest sportsmen.

    Aye some great Scottish performances in the pool with Scott topping them. It's a shame the IM was so soon after his gold, he did well to get a bronze.

    BBC swimming coverage is excellent, really good to hear Ellie Simmonds giving the lowdown on all the para events especially as I've never paid as much attention to them in the past as I should have.

    Im not very pro Commonwealth games so apologise to those that are into it my issue is the BBC and generally i think many Hibs fans have a persecation complex when it comes to the media but the BBC coverage is a bit sickly for my taste. For example on the opening day it was BBC news at 10 main story. Itv didnt even list it in their top 10. Bit politcal so apolgies from me but i find the commonwealth games politically not comfortable. Just my opinion.

    I see Peaty got beat in the 100 metres breaststroke in the swimming, first time since 2014 apparently. Didn't even get a medal.

    He was coming back from injury and a bit undercooked. He could have easily pulled out but chose to give it ago. Fair play in my book.

    There was a girl racing about 2 hours before him who'd had her leg amputated about 6 months ago and still won the Gold, what's his excuse?

    Yeh, don't think he was fully recovered from the broken foot which kept him out the World Championships so as you say fair play for giving it a go. Very gracious in defeat too.

    Brilliant day for Scotland, what a run by Eilish McColgan, you don't see Scots beating Kenyans in a sprint finish very often! And another gold for Duncan Scott.

    A 63 second last lap from McColgan. The guts and self belief on show during the final 200 metres was truly inspirational.

    I'm very excited to see her evolve into a marathon runner.

    A couple of coaches I follow on social media think she is a bit 'bouncy' for the marathon but I'm not convinced. Her half times mark her out as potentially elite. Paula Radcliffe's British record may be out of her reach but very low 2.20s look possible which would both qualify her for the Olympics and beat her mum. Not long to wait to find out how she takes to it as she is running London this year.

    Terrific stuff. Surprised there's been relatively little interest in the Games on here. I know the opposition is limited compared to an Olympics but there have been some top notch displays from the Scots involved.

    Well done to him bouncing back to win a gold yesterday and complete his set of Commonwealth winners' medals.

    Was surprised Australia's swimmers didn't appear at the world championships instead choosing the commonwealths

    The old bowling wifies are my personal favourites.

    You’re only as old as you feel said the 72 year old Gold medalist.

    Impressed by how good a reaction the Scottish athletes get when there name is read out, even from those waving St George's. Mccolgan got probably the loudest cheers of the tournament so far

    Not commonwealth games related but a funny story from the u20 championships where an Italian decathlete ended up last in the 400m due to his decision to run without any underwear and having his tadger fall out from his shorts during the race. He was constantly having to adjust and after a promising start, his multi tasking was too much and he ended up last.

    runs tonight again, tipped for gold



    a couple of golds already today(Boxing x2) and a few medals guaranteed later


    already most successful outside glasgow


    Gold= 11
    Silver= 10
    Bronze= 25

    another Gold in the boxing, Sean Lazzerini beating taylor bevan of wales in the light heavyweight final, just saw clips of him putting his finger to his lips and directing it at some in the audience after the result

    Fabulous race from Laura Muir , she was a class apart , and an excellent silver for Eilish McColgan , 12 golds so far for Scotland. 48 medals altogether is a great achievement
