I've just seen my last live event of the Commonwealth Games - the final of the mixed doubles badminton - and I've got to say it was great to see Gail Emms and Nathan Robertson win it. They were both all smiles afterwards. Nathan admitted he had been watched by his parents throughout the tournament while Gail said that sadly none of her family had made the trip. As a result, she joked she was putting herself up for adoption. She said: "Nathan's parents have taken me under her wing and looked after me here as have some of the England girls' mums. It's been great... oh, and I had my friend Lucy break off her round-the-world travels to watch me in the final."
