Commonwealth Games
2010, Day 4, Part 3
Clare Balding and John Inverdale are in Delhi for more swimming and athletics action, including the women's 800m freestyle final. Rebecca Cooke won the women's 800m freestyle gold in Melbourne in 2006 and another English Rebecca will look to succeed her in Delhi. Olympic champion Becky Adlington won gold in Beijing in 2008 in stunning fashion, breaking swimming's longest-standing world record in the process, and the 21-year-old looks back to her best after a post-Olympic blip. In athletics, the best female sprinters from the home nations are again in track action as they look to progress to the Commonwealth 100m and 400m finals. England's number one shot-putter Carl Myerscough claimed the bronze medal eight years previously in Manchester. He has high hopes of climbing the medal podium once again, if only to banish memories of Melbourne in 2006 when he finished an agonising fourth.
