  <WSC#MUC028:0660:PM>
      looks like athletics and canoeing out in front

  <WSC#MUC028:0665:PM>
      they've taken the lead through that chaos

  <WSC#MUC028:0670:SB>

  <WSC#MUC028:0695:PM>
      athletics and canoeing out in front <,,><&>7</&>

  <WSC#MUC028:0700:PM>
      then basketball netball and yachting <,> followed closely by
      cricket and rowing

  <WSC#MUC028:0705:SB>
      now back with our er rugby players and swimmers

  <WSC#MUC028:0710:SB>
      and they've been left completely high and dry caught up in the
      curly swirly bits of the water <,>

  <WSC#MUC028:0715:SB>

      yachting AHEAD of cricket rowing

  <WSC#MUC028:0730:SB>
      cricket rowing pushing it hard

  <WSC#MUC028:0735:SB>

      canoeing athletics leading <&>18:00</&>

  <WSC#MUC028:0760:PM>
      and in the background it's yachting and basketball netball doing
      a spin and letting cricket rowing through

  <WSC#MUC028:0765:SB>
      nice little piece from swan lake

  <WSC#MUC028:0770:SB>
