Good evening. This is Olympic sports day. I work top story this evening:

:00:00.:00:43.

concerns that the Paralympic games will not be as originally planned,

:00:44.:00:49.

with major Budget cuts. Team GB are still sitting second in the Olympic

:00:50.:00:53.

medal table. The tally could rise after the show jumping with Nick

:00:54.:00:57.

Skelton going strong at the age of 58. There is a guaranteed medal

:00:58.:01:02.

coming up later this evening in the hockey. Great Britain's women are

:01:03.:01:05.

meant the final against the Netherlands. Tonight is the night

:01:06.:01:10.

for Usain Bolt. His final Olympic race as he looks to complete that

:01:11.:01:15.

treble treble. Also coming up we will have the rest of the sports

:01:16.:01:20.

headlines away from Rio as Jose Mourinho and Manchester United

:01:21.:01:24.

prepare for the first of a guiding light fixtures this season. -- first

:01:25.:01:31.

Friday night fixtures. Three more days to go in B O. We are

:01:32.:01:35.

second in the medal table and we will show you why the experts think

:01:36.:01:40.

they can stay there. We will get to the equestrian centre just a moment

:01:41.:01:44.

or two with hopes of a British medal in a jump of. Well done if you

:01:45.:01:48.

stayed up late got up early for the medals overnight. We will look back

:01:49.:01:52.

with a brilliant sniper Jade Jones. And Usain Bolt as well. But we will

:01:53.:01:55.

start this evening with that Paralympic News. Games are going to

:01:56.:02:00.

be very different from the original plans because of massive financial

:02:01.:02:04.

constraints. Let's cross live to the Olympic Park now and speak to our

:02:05.:02:10.

correspondence. Chris, Sir Philip Craven, the head of the Paralympic

:02:11.:02:14.

movement, put on a brave face in the last couple of hours. They looked to

:02:15.:02:19.

be in a really dire situation still. Yes. I think that is probably fair.

:02:20.:02:25.

This is news we had been expecting. Today confirmation of course. Beers

:02:26.:02:28.

at the beginning of the Olympic Games that even before the ticket

:02:29.:02:34.

sales for the Paralympic were pretty poor, they were struggling to

:02:35.:02:38.

attract sponsorship, and then the news that the Government could not

:02:39.:02:43.

plug a financial gap because of an injunction that no more public money

:02:44.:02:48.

could be injected into the Olympic Games and the Paralympic games. That

:02:49.:02:52.

injunction has been lifted but it turns out, the money that the

:02:53.:02:55.

Government are putting in is not enough and as you say, there will

:02:56.:03:00.

now be a scaled-back Paralympic games. To give you an example of

:03:01.:03:04.

where these cuts will hit, there will be a reduced number of staff,

:03:05.:03:09.

transport reductions as well. Less drivers, closing of venues,

:03:10.:03:15.

especially some venues at a complex, and the Olympic Park venue will

:03:16.:03:20.

close. Some media centres as well will close and reduced capacity at

:03:21.:03:27.

the venues that will be open. So it is a big blow to the IPC and the

:03:28.:03:32.

Paralympic games, perhaps unexpected given some of the noises we have

:03:33.:03:36.

been hearing him. This is The View of Philip Craven.

:03:37.:03:42.

Never before in the 56 year history of the Paralympic games have we

:03:43.:03:46.

faced circumstances like this. Clearly, Brazil is in a far

:03:47.:03:50.

different position now to the one that it was in October 2009 when it

:03:51.:03:56.

won the right to stage the games. The situation is difficult for

:03:57.:04:00.

everyone involved and on top of bringing in extra revenues and

:04:01.:04:04.

making cuts, we need to sell more tickets. At this point, it difficult

:04:05.:04:11.

for us to expect the full venues that we saw in Beijing or London or

:04:12.:04:20.

expected to in Tokyo. The captain of the strolling women's wheelchair

:04:21.:04:22.

basketball team at the Sydney 2000 Paralympics said: Paralympic instead

:04:23.:04:28.

have the time to worry about what doesn't work, they just maximise

:04:29.:04:35.

what styles. And I can assure you that is what we are going to do

:04:36.:04:37.

here. -- maximise what styles. Strong

:04:38.:04:43.

words than at a got under three weeks to do all of this. I was

:04:44.:04:46.

listening to the conference as you were. The one thing that jumped out

:04:47.:04:51.

was there working desperately hard to protect athletes services.

:04:52.:04:54.

Slightly corporate speak therefore we want all the athletes to come.

:04:55.:05:00.

But that is in doubt, isn't it? Yes, I think it is. I think Sir

:05:01.:05:04.

Philip Craven also said they were working hour by hour. This is not

:05:05.:05:07.

just a case of day by day. It really is that close. Initially, when these

:05:08.:05:14.

fears that emerged it was understood that up to 50 of the 165 countries

:05:15.:05:21.

may be struggling to make it here to Rio and now we believe around ten of

:05:22.:05:26.

the smaller nations will struggle. Several of Craven says he believes

:05:27.:05:30.

that all of the athletes who have been working very hard for the past

:05:31.:05:35.

four years, expecting to be year, should be allowed to compete. As it

:05:36.:05:39.

stands, that of course is now in jeopardy. Let's hear from a veteran

:05:40.:05:48.

of the Paralympic games. That is really disappointing. The

:05:49.:05:52.

smaller countries, that doesn't make it any better. Just as I was reading

:05:53.:05:55.

the statement, you wonder whether Britain and America... There are

:05:56.:05:58.

more developed countries could maybe find a way of making it happen. The

:05:59.:06:03.

IPC does not have a huge amount of money but it would be hugely

:06:04.:06:06.

disappointing if there is not some way around it. There are 20 days was

:06:07.:06:10.

that you can do a huge amount in 20 days and you can get people there.

:06:11.:06:14.

We will see. This one will run and run. We will see how ready they get

:06:15.:06:18.

for that September the 7th start. URA sports news correspondent. The

:06:19.:06:25.

American swimmers, sounds like we are the little bit closer to the

:06:26.:06:30.

truth of what actually happened to them and the Brazilian police have

:06:31.:06:33.

called off the dogs. Yes. We may well finally have

:06:34.:06:38.

closure on one of the bizarre wrist Olympic stories of all time.

:06:39.:06:44.

Remember an Olympic gold medallist, one of the most high profile members

:06:45.:06:48.

of team USA, earlier in the week said that himself and three of his

:06:49.:06:53.

team-mates had been held up at gunpoint then the police said there

:06:54.:06:56.

was no evidence of this having taken place and all seemed a little bit

:06:57.:07:03.

fishy. Then CCTV footage emerged of him and his team-mates at a petrol

:07:04.:07:07.

station appearing to get into some kind of argument with the petrol

:07:08.:07:10.

station staff. Basically what has happened as the police stay they

:07:11.:07:15.

made the story up to cover up the bat that they were out late and it

:07:16.:07:21.

looks like they perhaps rout enjoying Rio and tried to cover up

:07:22.:07:27.

the fact that they were indeed out perhaps without the permission of

:07:28.:07:32.

the US team. He has since apologised for suggesting that he had been held

:07:33.:07:37.

up. I think a gun was held up to himself and his team-mates during

:07:38.:07:41.

the incident at the petrol station. They paid for some of the damage

:07:42.:07:47.

done at the petrol station. He has now apologised. The old 2016 said

:07:48.:07:53.

that they welcomed the apology because the Brazilian people felt

:07:54.:08:00.

somewhat humiliated by the story. Rio 2016 Brazil in general has not

:08:01.:08:03.

had problems in terms of controversial stories, true

:08:04.:08:08.

controversial stories with Garda security, so bad that was one that

:08:09.:08:13.

they did not need. It appears he did make the story up but it may well

:08:14.:08:18.

bring to an end one of the stranger stories in Olympic history, as I

:08:19.:08:22.

say. Let's hope so.

:08:23.:08:27.

Many thanks. Let's get back to Olympic sporting matters. The

:08:28.:08:30.

equestrian centre where Team GB have medal chances in the individual

:08:31.:08:34.

jumping final. It was Mark leather two rounds. Nick Skelton and Ben

:08:35.:08:39.

Meier the only British riders after Michael Whitaker's was had with four

:08:40.:08:46.

because of medical symptoms. Skelton, who is 58, is competing in

:08:47.:08:50.

his seventh column picks. He topped the rankings after a seventh clear

:08:51.:08:54.

round. The same partnership that helped win team gold in 2012. But

:08:55.:08:58.

they felt qualified that the team final in Rio. It went clear inside

:08:59.:09:02.

the time ever both France. As the bombers could not be beaten by five

:09:03.:09:07.

other riders have equalled it so far to force a jump of for the gold. So

:09:08.:09:15.

nothing guaranteed. He is into that jump off. It was a great night for

:09:16.:09:20.

Jade Jones in the tae kwon do. We will hear from her. He won bronze in

:09:21.:09:33.

London. He has been hampered by injuries over the last year. He was

:09:34.:09:39.

in complete control. 14 nil up at the end of the second round against

:09:40.:09:44.

his Australian opponent. They'd is called the bout of them gave it to

:09:45.:09:50.

Muhammad. The quarter finals are later this evening.

:09:51.:09:56.

It is exactly what I wanted. Rio is a beautiful city and I'm here

:09:57.:10:00.

enjoying myself. I just want to keep doing this.

:10:01.:10:03.

One down, three to go. It was the bronze medal three years ago. You

:10:04.:10:08.

want to do better this time around. I'm only here for gold. I've got

:10:09.:10:13.

three more matches to accomplish my gold. So it is three medal -- gold

:10:14.:10:18.

medal or bust. Let's hear from Jade Jones in the

:10:19.:10:22.

tae kwon do. Four years ago she was the youngest gold medallist for Team

:10:23.:10:26.

GB. The 19-year-old, who loves kicking people in the head,

:10:27.:10:30.

remember, her nickname was the head hunter and still is. She retained

:10:31.:10:36.

her tae kwon do title, beating Spain's competitor.

:10:37.:10:43.

I knew I could win but in tae kwon do anything can happen. You can get

:10:44.:10:46.

kicked in the head in the last few seconds and the best does not always

:10:47.:10:50.

win so until I got the gold medal round my neck, I can't imagine it

:10:51.:10:56.

and it is just amazing to finally have it.

:10:57.:10:59.

You won gold in London 2012. Did you feel more pressure coming into this

:11:00.:11:03.

competition as the defending champion?

:11:04.:11:05.

Yes. I knew I would have pressure coming into it but I did not know

:11:06.:11:07.

how much until yesterday to be honest. I have never felt anything

:11:08.:11:14.

like the pressures will stop it was horrible. But I managed to pull

:11:15.:11:17.

through and just kept thinking to myself, one fight at a time. This is

:11:18.:11:21.

what I do. They in day out. It doesn't matter if it is the Olympics

:11:22.:11:26.

or just doing what I do and it's paid off.

:11:27.:11:28.

What does it mean to you to see the scenes at home?

:11:29.:11:32.

It is amazing. The home support I get is a men's. I could not ask for

:11:33.:11:37.

more. I've got ten of my family members who have flown out what to

:11:38.:11:41.

be. They are always behind me. And it does mean so much and makes me go

:11:42.:11:45.

that extra bit further. Seeing their reaction is just amazing and I face

:11:46.:11:52.

time them after the semifinal and my friend was showing me around and get

:11:53.:11:56.

to speak to my dad and it is such an amazing feeling. They are just

:11:57.:12:01.

genuinely all wanting me to do well. It is just lovely. Let's have a

:12:02.:12:04.

quick look around some of the other venues. Events taking place today.

:12:05.:12:09.

The heat won a silver for Team GB in the double sprint carrier on

:12:10.:12:13.

Wednesday. He has qualified for tomorrow's final of the singles in

:12:14.:12:17.

the quickest time. The women's fours are through to the finals of the

:12:18.:12:22.

kayak sprint after finishing joint second in their heat is just behind

:12:23.:12:28.

Germany. Medal a real possibility for Britain there. Great Britain's

:12:29.:12:31.

Samantha Murray has finished fourth fastest in the modern pentathlon and

:12:32.:12:37.

freestyle swimming. She was able aiming to make up for it responding

:12:38.:12:42.

start in the fencing. That was followed by a chance to score extra

:12:43.:12:45.

points in the bonus round of the fencing. A new addition to the

:12:46.:12:50.

modern pentathlon. Murray, who won the silver medal in London, is

:12:51.:12:58.

waiting to see how that improved her position in the standings. Her

:12:59.:13:03.

team-mate Kate French who fed by the better yesterday was 15th fastest in

:13:04.:13:07.

the pool but did not score any extra points in the fencing bonus rounds

:13:08.:13:11.

today. Great Britain's Charlie Hull is in contention in the third round

:13:12.:13:15.

of the women's golf. She was nine under overall. Shot for the day

:13:16.:13:18.

after that birdie on the tenth. She is in a fall way tie for second

:13:19.:13:25.

place. Three shots by the leader. -- behind the leader. The world number

:13:26.:13:32.

one made a very impressive charge up the leaderboard. This hole in one. A

:13:33.:13:51.

round of 65. Mark Cavendish we back on the road racing next month. The

:13:52.:13:58.

British side the track in VO and managed to break his Olympic top of

:13:59.:14:03.

the first medal for him. A silver. Finally. The third Olympics. It took

:14:04.:14:10.

a lot. As I was talking yesterday it is hard to believe that just a few

:14:11.:14:14.

weeks ago I was riding over the Pyrenees and falls and then anything

:14:15.:14:19.

changed went to the velodrome and competing in the Olympics is just

:14:20.:14:26.

just so different. For me to represent Great Britain is such an

:14:27.:14:29.

honour. The Olympic of the best things to do that. It is the biggest

:14:30.:14:36.

thing. To come away with the medal not just the track cyclist but the

:14:37.:14:40.

whole of Team GB, it is quite an honour. I am a professional bike

:14:41.:14:45.

rider and know what it is like to crash. I'm not going to put somebody

:14:46.:14:48.

into danger that I know I in as well. Especially someone I like, a

:14:49.:14:53.

good bike rider. He was not in a medal position. It had no bearing if

:14:54.:14:59.

I did something to him anyway, you know? But I spoke to him and he's

:15:00.:15:03.

all right about it. And I'm glad he's all right, really. It obviously

:15:04.:15:09.

I get asked questions. It was a basic mistake. It was mistake on my

:15:10.:15:13.

part. It was my fault. Still don't know how the judges let

:15:14.:15:17.

him get away with that but glad they did because that he got his Olympic

:15:18.:15:20.

medal finally. Let's just move away from Rio for

:15:21.:15:24.

just a minute or two to bring you some non-Olympics port. Assuming it

:15:25.:15:27.

is the first Friday Premier League match of the new season. Manchester

:15:28.:15:31.

United attempted Southampton looking to make it two wins of two. One

:15:32.:15:37.

player could make his first appearance for the club since

:15:38.:15:40.

rejoining them. Sometimes even without you noticing,

:15:41.:15:47.

we changed. So if you are expecting us the change to magically assistant

:15:48.:15:52.

that the player, we're not going to do that. Not to play with five then

:15:53.:15:58.

the back because in Juventus it was playing with by then the back and he

:15:59.:16:04.

played them for many years and in that system we're not going to do

:16:05.:16:07.

that. So we are not going for the dramatic changes.

:16:08.:16:12.

These are the rest of the fixtures across the weekend. Manchester city.

:16:13.:16:20.

Many a great manager has come unstuck at the Britannia. At the

:16:21.:16:26.

King power his first against second from last season. Leicester and

:16:27.:16:30.

Arsenal looking to bounce back from opening-day defeats. A couple of

:16:31.:16:33.

matches on the Sunday including the north-east derby for the season

:16:34.:16:37.

which will be Sunderland against Middlesbrough in the absence of

:16:38.:16:42.

Newcastle. It is a Friday night match in the Scottish Premiership as

:16:43.:16:47.

well. Dundee at home to Hamilton. Celtic at Saint Johnstone. Leaders

:16:48.:16:50.

Rangers are at home to mother will. Also him games for Aberdeen, hearts

:16:51.:16:57.

Ross County. This weekend Guernsey FC is making a fake up history when

:16:58.:17:02.

they play Thamesmead town in the preliminary round of the

:17:03.:17:05.

competition. It will be the first FA Cup match to be held on the Channel

:17:06.:17:10.

Islands. Their manager says it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for

:17:11.:17:14.

the club and the islanders. Mike Wilkins reports. At last the FA

:17:15.:17:19.

Cup in the Channel Islands. This cup has been too many places but it is

:17:20.:17:22.

the first time it has been to Guernsey and tomorrow it will be the

:17:23.:17:25.

first time the competition has ever been played outside the UK.

:17:26.:17:31.

It is great to be able to expand the horizons of the FA Cup, really. To

:17:32.:17:35.

be able to get a game played in the Guernsey for the first time ever is

:17:36.:17:39.

major and I'm delighted we could bring the cup along.

:17:40.:17:42.

At this hotel the manager has a particular interest in the cup. Here

:17:43.:17:46.

he is holding it must 30 years ago after his dad won it as the manager

:17:47.:17:50.

of Coventry City. We had a big party, as you would.

:17:51.:17:56.

Then came home until the early hours.

:17:57.:17:59.

And the cup came home with you question what it did indeed. Came

:18:00.:18:05.

home with dad. I took it to bed, which is a bit weird. I left it next

:18:06.:18:11.

to the bed night, yeah. On this page, Guernsey FC who play

:18:12.:18:14.

in the eighth tier of endless football would play on a pitch

:18:15.:18:20.

closer to France than the UK. They were supposed to hold a match three

:18:21.:18:24.

years ago but a fixture trash with the rugby club who also use this

:18:25.:18:30.

ground meant that it had been played in the UK. They said their river

:18:31.:18:33.

that is disappointment and say tomorrow's matches a great

:18:34.:18:36.

opportunity for sports fans. He won't get an opportunity in

:18:37.:18:41.

Guernsey to come close to this trophy because in seven or eight

:18:42.:18:44.

months' time there will be someone very famous listing this trophy and

:18:45.:18:47.

unfortunately probably won't be as this is as close as we will ever

:18:48.:18:51.

gets to it. Never say never when it comes to the

:18:52.:18:55.

FA Cup and will lose tomorrow, for Guernsey it will be a historic day

:18:56.:18:59.

as it finally gets to host its very own home FA Cup match.

:19:00.:19:07.

Keep an eye out for that result tomorrow. Let's get back to Rio and

:19:08.:19:12.

look at where some of the headlines are being made later that later. Our

:19:13.:19:16.

correspondence has been waiting patiently. You are in position

:19:17.:19:21.

there. Something must be afoot. What should I try and stay awake for this

:19:22.:19:24.

evening? There is plenty to stay away for

:19:25.:19:27.

this evening but what you are probably going to want to stay awake

:19:28.:19:34.

for, around 2:35am your time, is Usain Bolt going in the four by 100

:19:35.:19:40.

m relay. Can people love the unprecedented treble treble? Use

:19:41.:19:45.

already defended his 100 metre title and the 200 metre title and 90 goes

:19:46.:19:50.

for the third title. He would be the first man in history to ever defend

:19:51.:19:54.

successfully three titles three times. But last night he was looking

:19:55.:19:58.

to break that world record of his own world record of 19 point one

:19:59.:20:02.

seconds and it did not happen for him because about 20 minutes before

:20:03.:20:05.

the race started was a lot of rain which really put paid to that record

:20:06.:20:10.

going. When he crossed that line he would rather disappointed with

:20:11.:20:12.

himself and he said afterwards he just wasn't happy with that time

:20:13.:20:17.

because he knew that was his last Olympic 200 metre final. He has

:20:18.:20:20.

already talked about retiring next year after the World Championships

:20:21.:20:24.

in London. And that was the last moment and he did look disappointed.

:20:25.:20:29.

In that relay final tonight is Great Britain, the European champions, but

:20:30.:20:32.

is anyone really expecting them to get round without dropping the bat

:20:33.:20:36.

on because they never do? Four times that of the last five games they

:20:37.:20:39.

have managed to drop the bat on on the way round so it certainly will

:20:40.:20:43.

be interesting. All eyes on Usain Bolt.

:20:44.:20:46.

Stay right where you are I promise I will be back to talk to you. Let's

:20:47.:20:51.

take you to the equestrian centre because Nick Skelton is into a sixth

:20:52.:20:57.

man jump of four gold in the individual jumping there. At the age

:20:58.:21:02.

of 58, his seventh Olympics. This is what is happening there right now.

:21:03.:21:07.

He is going first in this jump. We will bring you this. Probably not in

:21:08.:21:11.

our time on Olympics was day. We will show you where he comes. This

:21:12.:21:15.

is probably the biggest fight of his Olympic career.

:21:16.:21:26.

It is always suited Nick to go first Nations cups. He likes to get out

:21:27.:21:31.

there, do his round and he would try to put the pressure on. He's got to

:21:32.:21:36.

for it. The team manager in the middle. Here

:21:37.:21:42.

we go for gold. Nick Skelton in the jump off against the clock. From the

:21:43.:21:55.

second fence back to this vertical, insides turn, and now the double.

:21:56.:22:03.

Triple bar going in. Brilliantly over that. Now the... Lessig time

:22:04.:22:10.

check over here. Over on 28.8. APPLAUSE

:22:11.:22:14.

He has got to do turn back to this vertical. One left to go. Just get

:22:15.:22:20.

up to the last. APPLAUSE

:22:21.:22:28.

Isn't enough? 42. 82. Give him a cheer, for goodness sake. That is a

:22:29.:22:33.

great great start. 42.80 two. What a start for Nick

:22:34.:22:37.

Skelton. Five more riders to go vote counts do any better than that so he

:22:38.:22:42.

is going to hope that his rivals pick up some penalties. It could go

:22:43.:22:46.

to another jump off of course. But Nick Skelton a William first ride in

:22:47.:22:53.

that individual show-jumping. -- a brilliant first ride. You probably

:22:54.:23:04.

didn't trust me but you are back. We had to show everybody that. Nick

:23:05.:23:07.

Skelton going strong. Back on the track. The field, Holly Bradshaw in

:23:08.:23:13.

the pole vault. She is. And this is her second

:23:14.:23:18.

Olympic final. She was very London. He only came sixth and she said that

:23:19.:23:21.

was heartbreaking because Jerry series of jobs where she knew she

:23:22.:23:26.

couldn't and better. She has had back surgery and spent a lot of time

:23:27.:23:29.

in bed trying to get back that was in 2013. She is now back and jumping

:23:30.:23:34.

well and she said on Twitter today, I'm going to give it everything I've

:23:35.:23:39.

got but most of all I'm going to have fun and enjoy myself.

:23:40.:23:42.

This is an event that will not be contested by the world

:23:43.:23:48.

record-holder. She is Russian and of course the Russian track and field

:23:49.:23:52.

team are not here because of the concerns over state-sponsored

:23:53.:23:55.

doping. For Holly Bradshaw, there could be a medal in this. She is an

:23:56.:24:00.

outside shot but if you really perform to our best it could be an

:24:01.:24:04.

interesting night. Wonder what would be the 5000

:24:05.:24:11.

metres. We know what happened in the 10,000 metres. Absolutely smashing

:24:12.:24:19.

the world record. One of the very early highlights. She is expected to

:24:20.:24:23.

do the same in the five, is she? Yes. She is. He is looking really

:24:24.:24:28.

strong in the heats as well. It was not just breaking that world record,

:24:29.:24:33.

it was 13 seconds, it was absolutely... She destroyed the

:24:34.:24:36.

field. We cannot keep our people are so many people being lapped that it

:24:37.:24:39.

was impossible to know what was going on and she is trying to do

:24:40.:24:44.

what Mo Farah did and go out and do the double. He does not face until

:24:45.:24:49.

tomorrow night. But she really has all the pressure on her to go on and

:24:50.:24:53.

do that whereas for me what to do is in the 10,000 she came from nowhere

:24:54.:24:57.

and no one expected her to do what she did. It is a neat circle of life

:24:58.:25:02.

because it was 28 years ago that her mother won silver in the 10,000

:25:03.:25:08.

metres. She says she does not feel any pressure going out there. She

:25:09.:25:11.

really just wanted to make the final and really wants to enjoy it. He

:25:12.:25:15.

came fifth in the heat and now does question of going out, running a

:25:16.:25:19.

strong, good race and just enjoying her Olympic experience.

:25:20.:25:24.

Given around many venues at the Olympic Stadium. The crowds haven't

:25:25.:25:31.

been great but I presume for a Usain Bolt night you hope for a full

:25:32.:25:34.

house? To be honest, the only time this

:25:35.:25:38.

place has been rocking is when Usain Bolt is here. It was quite a good

:25:39.:25:44.

crowds at a morning session but not as busy. Whenever he has been in

:25:45.:25:49.

town for seats, SMEs or his finals, the crowd is love him. He's a star

:25:50.:25:54.

that just transcends his sport. It will be busy tonight and because

:25:55.:25:57.

he's going for that unprecedented travel travel it is bound to be

:25:58.:26:01.

loud. The atmosphere will be good. It always is when he is in town. You

:26:02.:26:07.

convince me. I will stay up late tonight. Many thanks indeed. Let's

:26:08.:26:17.

head back to the equestrian centre. Nick Skelton in a jump. They are run

:26:18.:26:21.

to the third rider. Let's take you live back there. The next two

:26:22.:26:28.

riders, big, have picked up thoughts. So there were three riders

:26:29.:26:34.

to go. As it stands, Nick Skelton has not been bettered so these next

:26:35.:26:40.

three riders have got to go around perfectly to force another jump off

:26:41.:26:44.

I think. My equestrian rules and regulations are coming flooding back

:26:45.:26:49.

to me but Nick Skelton is in pole position and are right now in the

:26:50.:26:54.

individual show-jumping final. At the age of 58 in the jump off. We

:26:55.:26:59.

will be back with that on BBC News just as soon as we can once we have

:27:00.:27:04.

some results. Another couple of medal prospects for Team GB on day

:27:05.:27:09.

14 MBO. More history to be made. Great Britain's hockey players take

:27:10.:27:13.

on the Netherlands and the final later. Britain have never won an

:27:14.:27:18.

Olympic title in this. They are up against the team who won in Beijing

:27:19.:27:21.

and London. That final is about nine o'clock our time. The super

:27:22.:27:33.

heavyweight boxing semifinal. That semifinal is going to start the next

:27:34.:27:41.

20 minutes. Team GB has been tipped to hang on to second in the medal

:27:42.:27:46.

table. The company that has been very accurately predicting Olympic

:27:47.:27:50.

results down the years has actually revised its forecast for Rio and

:27:51.:27:54.

looking at the last three years of competition they put team GB above

:27:55.:28:01.

China. They put the two countries level on 25 golds, by Sunday night,

:28:02.:28:07.

but with more silvers, crucially for Great Britain so they would just

:28:08.:28:11.

come out on top. This is how the table looks right now. 22 goals.

:28:12.:28:19.

United States way out in front. That is it from Olympic sports day. It is

:28:20.:28:22.

going to be much more sporty about BBC News including the final of that

:28:23.:28:27.

jump of involving Nick Skelton but from all of us at the sports centre,

:28:28.:28:29.

goodbye for

:28:30.:28:30.
