    'Everybody only sees the good moments'published at 09:57 British Summer Time 2 August 2022

    BBC One

    Laura Kenny admitted it is tough to balance being a mother to four-year-old son Albie with the demands of training as a full-time athlete.

    "Had my personal life gone the way [husband] Jason and I thought it was going to, I wouldn’t even have been competing at the Commonwealth Games – we would have been having another little boy or a little girl," she added.

    "So it took a lot for me to commit to riding my bike again. I thought ‘just start riding, that’s your happy place’.

    "But I’ve had so many ups and downs, every day has been really hard for me to get out on the bike and find that motivation that I’ve had for so many years.

    "I think you see us competing at the Olympics and you see us go through the Olympic cycles and everybody always sees the good – you never see what it takes to actually get to that point or that position."

    A day after emotionally celebrating a stunning gold medal in the women's scratch race, England's Laura Kenny has told BBC One's Breakfast show she is considering her future in the sport.

    The 30-year-old had a miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy over the past year and said she had endured "a confidence crisis" after finishing 13th in the points race.

    But the five-time Olympic gold medal winner, seven-time world champion and 14-time European champion bounced back to claim an unforgettable triumph on Monday.

    "Right now I’m not going to sit here and make any decision and say 'that’s it, I’m done' just based on a couple of feelings I’ve had over the last 48 hours," she said.

    "But I would like to have a little bit of time away and then I can decide. Obviously this is my career, if I step away, that’s it. As an athlete you are literally leaving it behind so I just need some time to decide what I want going forward."

    It's been a bit scrappy on occasions but it's been entertaining.

    The game is not over by any stretch but it seems to be that Jarrad Breen is feeling a lot more confident in the big shots he's played, compared to Sam Tolchard.

    There were wild celebrations from the Wales pair of Daniel Salmon and Jarrad Breen during the men's lawn bowls final against England.

    On the 10th end, Breen produced a brilliant bowl to allow Wales to claim three shots and go into a 15-6 lead.

    It's looking good for Wales at the moment. Eight ends remain.

  6. Kenny wins scratch race goldpublished at 09:45 British Summer Time 2 August 2022

    England's Laura Kenny won a stunning track cycling scratch race gold on Monday, a day after thinking it would be her final race amid a "serious confidence crisis".

    On the Lee Valley VeloPark track where she made her name at the 2012 Olympics, Kenny timed her attack to perfection under deafening roars from the crowd.

    It was England's first cycling gold of the Birmingham Games, and Kenny's first Commonwealth title since 2014.

    "I can't believe it," she said. "I said to Jase [Jason Kenny - her husband]: 'I think this is going to be my last race.'"

    Here's how she did it...

    Hockey

    It's half-time in the big game at the top of Pool B in the women's hockey tournament - and Kaitlin Nobbs' penalty strike has given Australia the edge over neighbours New Zealand.

    Prior to the game, New Zealand topped the group on goal difference but Australia will leapfrog them with victory.

    The top two teams of the five in the group qualify for the semi-finals, with third-placed Scotland very much in contention too.

    Wales duo Daniel Salmon and Jarred Breen are in control of the men's lawn bowls pairs final against England's Jamie Walker and Sam Tolchard.

    The Wales pair lead 12-6 at the halfway stage with nine ends remaining.

    England started with three shots on the opening end before Wales raced into a 10-4 lead, including one end with five successful shots.

    Whatever happens, this will be a guaranteed 11th medal for Wales with one solitary gold so far through Para-cyclist James Ball.

    England's Jamie Walker is improving with each and every hand, searching for good lines.

    He's playing with good weight and that's why he's getting those good balls.

    Wales lead men's pairs gold medal matchpublished at 09:33 British Summer Time 2 August 2022

    Wales 12-6 England

    Welsh pair Daniel Salmon and Jarrad Breen still have a healthy advantage over England's Jamie Walker and Sam Tolchard in the men's pairs gold medal match at Victoria Park.

    Salmon and Breen have just extended their lead slightly to 12-6 after nine ends.

    Meanwhile, Scotland have extended their lead over Northern Ireland to 15-4 at the same stage of the bronze medal match.

  12. Great Scott and marvellous Maisiepublished at 09:30 British Summer Time 2 August 2022

    Duncan Scott became Scotland's most decorated Commonwealth athlete on Monday as he took his medal tally to 11 with two swimming bronzes in Birmingham.

    Scott took bronze behind English rival Tom Dean to equal the Scottish medal record then finished third with Scotland's men's 4x200m relay team to go out in front on his own.

    Elsewhere, England's Maisie Summers-Newton added Commonwealth gold to her collection of world and Paralympic medals with a dominant victory in the 100m breaststroke SB6.

    And Adam Peaty shook off the disappointment of finishing outside the medals in his specialist 100m breaststroke to qualify for the 50m breaststroke final by winning his semi-final.

    Peaty and fellow Englishman James Wilby - who beat the Olympic champion to the 100m title - will do battle for gold tonight, with 10 more swimming gold medals to be won on Tuesday.

  13. More gold for glorious gymnastspublished at 09:25 British Summer Time 2 August 2022

    Monday was another golden day for England's gymnasts as the Arena Birmingham crowd witnessed four further triumphs to take the home nation's tally to seven.

    Jake Jarman, the team and all-around champion, continued his unbelievable Games with a third gold as he dominated the floor event with a routine full of athleticism and precision.

    Joe Fraser delivered a spotless pommel routine to beat Northern Ireland's defending champion Rhys McClenaghan.

    Then, Courtney Tulloch and Georgia-Mae Fenton defended their rings and uneven bars titles to round off England's day.

    With five medal events to come today, there will be a host of chances to boost that haul even further.
