Where else to start but in Glasgow!?

Where T&T earned a precious silver today at the Commonwealth Games.

Shaniqua Bascombe earned the biggest win of her career finishing second in the women's 200 final.

And the Jamaica-based athlete left a trio of Jamaicans in her dust on her way to silver.

However, Keshorn Walcott had to settle with a sixth place finish in the javelin final.
Transcript
00:00TNT had a crack at two medals in track and field.
00:03Shanika Bascombe came up against a tough field with British Virgin Islands' Adesia Hodge,
00:08the favorite over 200, followed by a trio of Jamaican women.
00:12But the 22-year-old Bascombe proved she's among the best.
00:16Sir.
00:19And they are away. This time the athletes will power around the bend
00:22and try and convert all the speed they've built up over the first 100 meters into the home straight.
00:26Adesia Hodge looking good, but not miles ahead of the other athletes.
00:30Bascombe, Trinidad and Tobago matching her through the first 100 meters.
00:34Adesia Hodge into the last 50.
00:37Working hard here, Adesia Hodge is going to work all the way to the line.
00:4222-07 for Adesia Hodge.
00:46Not looking as fresh as yesterday, but who cares?
00:49It's a gold medal for the British Virgin Islands.
00:54This young woman at the age of 20 has just picked up her major title.
00:59First major title of her career.
01:03And look at this from Shaniqua Bascombe. She can hardly believe what she managed to do there.
01:09Bascombe was slightly slower than a personal best in the semis, but 22.35 was more than enough for silver.
01:15However, the reigning Javelin World Champion Keishon Wolcott's best distance of 82.55 meters was only good enough for sixth.
01:23The final was dominated by the subcontinent with India's Neeraj Chopra taking silver and Yashvir Singh, bronze.
01:30But nobody could get close to Sri Lankan sensation Rumish Patige, who threw 89.75 meters for gold.
01:37The Rajay, on a foul so far.
01:40Oh, similar to Chopra there. Seems to know he's hit something good. The camera's lost it. It was so high.
01:47So long, so far down the field. Not all that far away from the game's record.
01:53With Arshad Nadeem from Birmingham. Not quite the 90-meter mark.
01:58Terence Glove, Team 6 Sport.
02:00That's such a benchmark in men's jab and throwing.
02:03This is a test to be brought by him by Roy
02:03Thank you so much, Pastor, that's right.
02:03We'd love to hear you.
