    David Katoatau is always going to be a hero in Kiribati, a tiny group of islands approximately 2,000 miles north east of Australia.

    His nation had never been on the podium, but his victory in the 105kg weightlifting competition saw him achieve that landmark. And he celebrated in style, by showing off his dancing moves. Good feet for a big man.

    Rutherford, who won silver in Delhi four years ago, had an epidural injection in the build-up to make it to qualifying after pulling out of the Diamond League event here with injury.

    But after his first round 8.12 metres was matched by South Africa's Zarck Visser, his championship pedigree told as he produced a third round 8.20m to snatch a lead that none of his rivals could threaten.

    Claudia Fragapane leads an England 1-2-3 in the women's all-around gymnastics. A remarkable performance from the 16-year-old.

    She scored 14.733 to win gold with a total of 56.132, just ahead of Ruby Harrold (55.232) and Hannah Whelan (54.699). Tears of joy all round in the England camp.

    "I'm pretty sure there's a few lovers in the audience tonight." Kylie gets to the point. She has now changed out of the 'saucy basque' (see 22:17) and is now wearing a short white skirt.

    Can't Get You Out of My Head, one of her best known classics, is thrilling the crowd now.

    Quentin Hull, of ABC Radio in Australia, tells BBC Radio 5 live's Mark Pougatch about how the games have gone down with the 2018 host nation.

    "Its been judged as a pretty good games, we knew the strength of the home nations would be pretty good after London 2012. You have pumped a lot of money into sport like we did around Sydney 2000.

    "But you've been wonderful hosts, as ever - two years ago it was magnificent in London and Glasgow has been the same, as it needed to be after the shambles of Delhi."

    It's early Monday morning in Australia. Are they 'doing the Locomotion' too? Let's hope so.

  10. Do the Locomotionpublished at 22:27 British Summer Time 3 August 2014

    We have seen a host of records fall during this Commonwealth Games. We may have just witnessed another. I don't believe there has ever been as many athletes 'doing the Locomotion' as Kylie sings loudly. Another proud moment for the Games there.

    There was a bit of argy-bargy during the men's 800m as England's Andrew Osagie and Joe Thomas of Wales had a few cross words at the end of the third heat after the pair collide while desperately trying to grab the third qualifying place.

    Osagie, who ended up on the track just after crossing the line and finishing third, ahead of Thomas in fourth, tells BBC One that he didn't do anything wrong.

    "He shouted at me at the end saying 'what was I doing', but I was running as straight as I can," says Osagie. "There wasn't a gap there. A similar thing happened to me in the trials and that's why I had a problem with my hamstring as I got caught a couple of times then."

    The stewards don't agree. Osagie is thrown out of the competition.

    Nothing was going to come between Commonwealth and Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford and his fans in Glasgow - not even the stewards!

    Rutherford went as far as dodging the best efforts of an official to usher him away in his attempts to "give back a little bit" back to supporters by signing autographs and posing for photos with them after qualifying for the final.

    Among the lucky ones to secure a selfie with him after he had clinched his latest gold was Kirsty Anderson:, external "Gold for our boy, well deserved #gregrutherford #2014athletics #teamengland"

    What do you get when you cross the Commonwealth Games with a selfie? The answer, of course, is the #commonwelfie - the social media craze that swept Glasgow.

    Perhaps the best of all was delivered by none other than Sir Chris Hoy, external who teamed up with fellow Commonwealth and Olympic great Ian Thorpe to produce the king of #commonwelfies: "Thanks to @IanThorpe and @Mel_Mclaughlin for having me on your show, great to meet you both! #commonwelfie"

    It was an eventful stay in his native Scotland in the selfie-stakes for Hoy after he and his wife Sarra embarked on an eventful taxi journey:, external "Stopped at a set of traffic lights and a pedestrian opened the door jumped in and took a selfie."

    BBC Radio 5 live's John Murray asked Victoria about what Kylie is wearing as she struts her stuff at Hampden...

    "I would say its a basque - a corset or a basque, I'm not sure how to differentiate between the two. It's a bit saucy, isn't it?"

    England's women emulated the achievement of their male team-mates by winning gold in the gymnastics team final at the Hydro Arena.

    There was also team gold for England as Louis Smith, Sam Oldham, Kristian Thomas, Max Whitlock and Nile Wilson won the men's title, but Oldham had to go for an MRI scan after falling heavily on his ankle midway through the competition.

  17. Glasgow's 'standout' Gamespublished at 22:10 British Summer Time 3 August 2014

    Commonwealth Games Federation chief executive Mike Hooper has praised Glasgow 2014 as the "standout Games" in the movement's 84-year history.

    "With the great spread of nations winning medals, the quality of performance from the athletes, the extraordinary success of the home nation, the wonderful crowd support and venues, the superb planning and management by the organising committee and that of the Games' partners, the buzz in the city, the friendliness, a legacy plan in place and the wonderful work of the Clyde-siders, these have been great Games," Hooper said.

    "And in my view, they are the standout Games in the history of the movement."
