It
was a much simpler route to the Commonwealth Games today via the Park and Ride,
which worked very smoothly and had us at Hampden Park in good time to buy fish
suppers and a souvenir ‘Clyde’ (the human thistle with purple hair and a
charmingly manic grin) before taking our seats for the evening session of track
and field; highlights were Greg Rutherford’s gold in the long jump, the
imperious Kirani James winning the 400m, David Rudisha looking impressive in
his 800m semi-final, Jess Taylor finishing off her heptathlon to get a gutsy
bronze, and some good women’s 200m sprint heats where the three English girls
went through to tomorrow’s final stages along with the charismatic Blessing Okagbare.
