We head over to Glasgow now.

Where Athletics dominated action for T&T at the Commonwealth Games on day five.

T&T had three runners advance to the semifinals in the men's and women's 100 qualifiers.

2008 gold medalist Michelle Lee-Ahye survived a scare before booking her spot as the fastest of the two.

Just ahead of Leah Bertrand who qualified after winning her Heat.

Also through is Omari Lewis who won his heat comfortably.

And Kelsey Daniel kept his way into the men's long jump final.
Transcript
00:00Eight years on from her Commonwealth victory in Australia, Misha Lee Ayi's return almost ended before it started.
00:07Watch it once more. Athlete in blue. Look, it's a wobble of the hips.
00:11It's not actually what I would describe as a false start because Ayi of anyone is the one who's actually
00:17broken early
00:18and sort of confirmed human decisions rather than to drive them. And I reckon we've got a yellow card here.
00:24But given a reprieve, the 34-year-old responded with a second-place finish.
00:30This time we're away safely and a little bit of wind picking up here.
00:35Marnie Lantico has made a really good start being chased down by Misha Lee Ayi.
00:39Marnie Lantico is going to get this really nice, heavy, high lead of the 11.03, the fastest of the
00:45morning so far.
00:46With only the 17 fastest advances, she went through with the 10th fastest time of 11.35 seconds.
00:54Joining her in the semifinals with the 11th fastest time is 24-year-old Lea Bertrand, who won her heat
01:01in 11.44 seconds.
01:03Heat 2, who means 100 meters.
01:07Safely away, really nice start from Lea Bertrand, but already going nice as well as Romulus,
01:12but these two are coming well clear.
01:14Even alone as well as a battle for first, and it's going to be Bertrand who just gets it on
01:18the line.
01:18A little slower than the owning heat, 11.42, unofficially.
01:24However, the third of TNT's women, Reece Webster, failed to advance despite finishing second in heat five in a time
01:31of 11.63 seconds.
01:33Strongly also the P.G. and the Lea Bertrand moving nicely here, and also Reece Webster, Trinidad, Tobago.
01:39But as Kola's going to take it, Webster comes through in second.
01:42Yamsa after there of the Gambia.
01:44Prior to that, TNT had two men competing in the 100 qualifiers,
01:48as Omari Lewis booked his spot in the semis with victory in heat nine.
01:54And it's a nice, clean start.
01:56He's done so well so far with the starts.
01:59Rahman's moving nicely on the inside line, isn't he?
02:01But look at the black of Lewis.
02:03There you go.
02:04The familiar colors of Trinidad and Tobago.
02:0710.18 seconds.
02:09However, Eric Harrison Jr. finished third in his heat, but failed to advance.
02:13Green of Antigua, and it's Green of Antigua, and a GB, and it's going to be Green who takes it.
02:1910.12.
02:20And TNT will have a representative in the men's long jump final,
02:24as Kelsey Daniel produced a best distance of 7.74 meters on his second attempt.
02:30Athlete at the moment is Elisia Ajibi from Canada.
02:3410.31.
02:36Yeah, and we've got six athletes due to line up in the final heat,
02:39so that's why they can confidently say, with obviously no more than 17 still to come,
02:44and that's the coaches on the left, going through the jumps, rewinding,
02:48looking for the adjustment.
02:497.74 meters in round number two.
