It's the first full day of action in the fourth Commonwealth Youth Games, after last night's spectacular opening ceremony.
Around 3,000 athletes, spectators and dignitaries packed into the Bowl stadium, with thousands more watching and listening online from around the Commonwealth, as the biggest ever sporting event in the Isle of Man began in a carnival atmosphere.
The 90-minute ceremony was based around Manx culture and traditions, and the Games were declared open by Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, in his capacity as vice patron of the Commonwealth Games Federation.
