for ourselves and for badminton, which is massive for our sport and I

:00:00.:00:00.

am so proud to which is massive for our sport and I

:00:00.:00:00.

am so proud to be a part of it. As they said, that is such a huge

:00:07.:00:11.

medal for the sport of badminton, which is crying out for more

:00:12.:00:15.

attention and it is a huge medal for the duo themselves could, who, as

:00:16.:00:21.

you heard, are ranked number 22 in the world. We will now go to boxing,

:00:22.:00:27.

and there are only two Britons left standing in these Olympics, and one

:00:28.:00:34.

of them is Nicola Adams. She was fighting in her flyweight semifinal

:00:35.:00:38.

today and taking on Ren Cancan, the woman she beat in the final in 2012.

:00:39.:00:46.

The 51 kilograms semifinal, who will go through to the gold-medal bout?

:00:47.:00:54.

We are under way. Semifinal action in the women's 51 kilograms

:00:55.:00:57.

flyweight division, between two rivals who know one another very

:00:58.:01:02.

well indeed. The box are wearing red, the reigning Olympic champion,

:01:03.:01:09.

Nicola Adams, the British boxer. The Chinese boxer, wearing blue,

:01:10.:01:13.

operating out of southpaw stance is Ren Cancan. So much history between

:01:14.:01:17.

these two, they have met five times before and Nicola Adams is trailing

:01:18.:01:22.

in that rivalry. 2-3 against the former three-time World Championship

:01:23.:01:28.

world medallist. She took those titles in 2008, 2010 and 2012 and on

:01:29.:01:33.

two of those occasions she reduced Nicola Adams to silver medal status

:01:34.:01:37.

in the World Championships. Nicola Adams got it right on the grandest

:01:38.:01:41.

stage of all at the Olympic Games. It is a good left hand from Ren

:01:42.:01:46.

Cancan. It is important for Adams to lead off with a right hand and hit

:01:47.:01:50.

the target. If she misses the target with a right Angie Paul Flynn and

:01:51.:01:54.

that is a bad position to be against a good southpaw like Ren Cancan. She

:01:55.:02:00.

can't neglect her jab. She started the contest well with a couple of

:02:01.:02:06.

good jabs and she has to measure that shot before she throws the

:02:07.:02:10.

right hand. That is what she has to do here. Nicola Adams is the

:02:11.:02:13.

reigning World Championship gold medallist and that right-hand wasn't

:02:14.:02:17.

too far away and that second one got through. A nice left uppercut from

:02:18.:02:21.

Ren Cancan and using good footwork to get back to the space of the

:02:22.:02:25.

ring. Timing and accuracy are paramount here for Nicola Adams.

:02:26.:02:29.

What she is doing is sitting back and waiting for her which is not a

:02:30.:02:37.

bad thing to do against a southpaw. Then she comes back with a right

:02:38.:02:40.

hand. She needs to work more with the jab.

:02:41.:02:47.

So, plenty of fainting and sabre rattling with those lead hands in

:02:48.:02:55.

the closing ten seconds or so. A very good round of boxing from both

:02:56.:02:59.

individuals and they both enjoyed success. Not a lot in it at all, is

:03:00.:03:07.

there, in the first round. Another physical chess match here. Each

:03:08.:03:12.

boxer doesn't want to make a mistake. Make a mistake at this

:03:13.:03:16.

level and your opponent will punish you, they know that. That is a nice

:03:17.:03:21.

attack from Ren Cancan but Nicola Adams gets through with the right

:03:22.:03:23.

hand and it is a All judges have favoured Ren Cancan,

:03:24.:03:41.

the reigning Olympic silver medallist, takes the opening lead.

:03:42.:03:49.

So we're into the second round now. Women's scheduled for four 2 minutes

:03:50.:03:54.

rounds. Nicola Adams comes out in an aggressive mood and pecking away

:03:55.:03:58.

with that straight left hand but a good left that good through to the

:03:59.:04:01.

body from Ren. Better start from Adams, we spoke about it earlier in

:04:02.:04:06.

the first round. She just neglected it a little bit. She has to settle

:04:07.:04:11.

that backhand with the lead hand first. The left hand has to go in

:04:12.:04:16.

before the right. She can't afford to fall short. She's got to get her

:04:17.:04:24.

feet into position. Ren effectively boxing on her left foot. Ritchie

:04:25.:04:34.

drew the analogy of physical chess, because Nicola Adams used the sport

:04:35.:04:39.

the same way - drawing on skills and tactics, how she regards it. Ring

:04:40.:04:44.

intelligence, thought crucial rather than just naked blind aggression.

:04:45.:04:53.

Getting a bit untidy. And as Ritchie has pointed out, a mistake at this

:04:54.:04:57.

level is crucial. Could be counted just like that. Terrific left jab by

:04:58.:05:02.

Nicola Adams causing Ren to lose her stance momentarily. The most basic

:05:03.:05:06.

of all shots in that jab. She fell short with her work then, the

:05:07.:05:10.

Chinese girl, and that's why Adams got through and again a simple

:05:11.:05:14.

punch, you know, as your opponent comes into punching range, get your

:05:15.:05:20.

timing and accuracy right, which she did there - Adams. Very well. Well

:05:21.:05:25.

aware has been a good passage at the second roubtd. Adams is looking to

:05:26.:05:28.

make a strong conclusion in the second round. Try to even things up

:05:29.:05:31.

in her own mind and most crucially in the mind of the judges. Look at

:05:32.:05:35.

that timing on that wonderful left jab from Adams. She comes with the

:05:36.:05:41.

right hand which drives Ren back to the ropes. Nicola Adams has

:05:42.:05:44.

concluded the second round in a stronger fashion. Very good round of

:05:45.:05:48.

boxing and a wonderful response from Adams having conceded the opening

:05:49.:05:50.

unanimously. Much better round. Dave saying that's a much better

:05:51.:06:04.

round, but when you do catch it, don't run in. Absolutely, don't want

:06:05.:06:09.

to too overcommit, you see. The time here was superb. Concentration was

:06:10.:06:14.

excellent here and she finished the round strongly and that's always

:06:15.:06:19.

good to impress those judges. So a better response, her time and

:06:20.:06:22.

accuracy was there. Let's look at the scores. She should get there.

:06:23.:06:27.

Across the board, so now it's even-Steven.

:06:28.:06:34.

So two rounds completed, two rounds to go in the women's 51kg flyweight

:06:35.:06:41.

semifinal. Ren Cancan the reigning Asian continental championship,

:06:42.:06:42.

swepted the opening round unanimously. Nicola Adams responded

:06:43.:06:48.

with a brilliant performance in round two to return the favour. Weir

:06:49.:06:54.

all square. Across the board with two rounds to go. Good right jab to

:06:55.:07:01.

the body from Ren. Adams responds with the same shot from the

:07:02.:07:10.

left-hand. Very often you got to try to make the lead, Ren is sitting

:07:11.:07:15.

back. Acting like you're going to punch her, waiting for Adams leads.

:07:16.:07:20.

When ad add leads she must hit the targets, like those shots there,

:07:21.:07:25.

that's better from Adams. Terrific forward foray from Nicola Adams. And

:07:26.:07:29.

after that brisk start, is Ren beginning to fade just a little bit?

:07:30.:07:33.

Her work doesn't appear of the same sharpness has in the opening round

:07:34.:07:37.

although she did get a good right hand to the body there. Adams's

:07:38.:07:42.

accuracy and timing is better, Ren is still making Adams trying to lead

:07:43.:07:46.

off and she's hoping she's going to miss the target by sitting back. But

:07:47.:07:51.

Adams is getting her feet into position and hitting the target and

:07:52.:07:54.

that's what's troubling Ren at this stage. Hitting target with the most

:07:55.:08:01.

fundamental of all shots in boxing. Terrific left jab, Ren coming

:08:02.:08:10.

through with a big south paw, Ren coming into this game with annire --

:08:11.:08:19.

an eye injury. A win at the quarterfinal stage over Canada's

:08:20.:08:23.

Mandy, heads came together and she suffered an eye injury beneath the

:08:24.:08:28.

head guard. Good right hand from Ren. But Nicola Adams's use of the

:08:29.:08:35.

jab in that third round was really impressive. It's the jab that's

:08:36.:08:40.

winning this contest for Nicola Adams at the moment. It's important

:08:41.:08:44.

to finish the round strong. You got to catch the judges' eyes. They are

:08:45.:08:50.

close rounds. Adams is doing the better work, to me. But that last 10

:08:51.:08:55.

seconds can be crucial for impressing the judges. Let's look at

:08:56.:09:00.

this. Adams with the nice right hand there, keeps our opponent on the

:09:01.:09:04.

back foot. A nice left hand went through there from Ren. Let's have a

:09:05.:09:07.

look again. Adams across the board again - they're liking what they see

:09:08.:09:12.

from Adams. Like I said, time and Accra iscy work -- time and accuracy

:09:13.:09:19.

working well with that shot. So Nicola Adams after conceding the

:09:20.:09:23.

open round, across-the-board has taken round two and three

:09:24.:09:27.

unanimously to have a one-point lead on the score cards of all three

:09:28.:09:32.

judges here. Ren Cancan aware of that and is now, shethe boxer in

:09:33.:09:37.

blue, is looking to take the contest to Adams. Remember, this is

:09:38.:09:41.

incredibly tight. Maybe word has made it down to the respective

:09:42.:09:46.

corners as to the status of the score cards but still the boxers'

:09:47.:09:51.

concentration will remain absolute. Ren may change her tactics now which

:09:52.:09:57.

will suit her style of boxing. She's out and out counter punching on the

:09:58.:10:01.

back foot, she may force the fight to Adams and as long Nicola Adams

:10:02.:10:04.

keeps that timing and accuracy going, she should be OK. Again,

:10:05.:10:12.

plenty of fainting, plenty of twitching, that style paw left not

:10:13.:10:16.

too far away from Ren but the poents trying to draw something that they

:10:17.:10:24.

can counter. So much thought and concentration behind each and every

:10:25.:10:30.

attack. Setting traps, trying to draw something from their opponent.

:10:31.:10:37.

Left jab once again from Adams and a counter right hand making Ren miss.

:10:38.:10:41.

Her hands are very low and Adams is stepping in with that right hand.

:10:42.:10:44.

Last 30 seconds now. This is the crucial part of the round. It's

:10:45.:10:48.

still fairly close up until now. A good burst from either boxer could

:10:49.:10:52.

nick the round. So Adams has got to finish strong here, Ron. Both boxers

:10:53.:10:57.

will have that in-built almost innate clock that lets them know how

:10:58.:11:02.

deep they are into a round. And this is what Ren wants to be - that's not

:11:03.:11:07.

the posture Ren wants to be in near the 10 second clapper. She scores

:11:08.:11:10.

with a good long left. Adams gets back on to the front foot and drive

:11:11.:11:14.

Ren back towards rope. A little bit of an exchange on the final bell but

:11:15.:11:20.

Nicola Adams is now surely on the cusp of returning to the gold medal

:11:21.:11:23.

bout. She took rounds two and three after conceding the opening round

:11:24.:11:27.

and that is why she's all smiles over in that red corner as Dave

:11:28.:11:33.

Alloway and Gary Hail remove it is gloves. She feels she's done enough

:11:34.:11:38.

and returning through to the gold medal bout. Good boxing from right.

:11:39.:11:44.

The last 10 seconds was crucial and she finished strong on the front

:11:45.:11:47.

foot pushing her opponent back to the ropes. She's done enough here.

:11:48.:11:52.

She's through to the final in my opinion. Well done, Nicola Adams.

:11:53.:12:00.

Nicola Adams already emulated the great Dick McTaggart. Trying to

:12:01.:12:08.

emulate Henry Mallet who won two successive golds. Here is the

:12:09.:12:14.

announcement. ANNOUNCER: The winner by unanimous

:12:15.:12:19.

decision... In the red corner... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:12:20.:12:30.

.. ..Nicola Adams. The quest to defend her gold medal she won in

:12:31.:12:34.

London four years ago is now one step closer to becoming reality. The

:12:35.:12:39.

boxer of leads had defeated a woman with whom she shares such a long

:12:40.:12:44.

history. It is now tied up three bouts and once again on the Olympic

:12:45.:12:49.

stage, it is Nicola Adams who has prevailed. Courtesy of a unanimous

:12:50.:12:53.

points decision - once again she returns to the limb ping gold medal

:12:54.:12:57.

bout and given the form she demonstrated there, she's going to

:12:58.:13:00.

be supremely confident that it will be she, the British boxer, who

:13:01.:13:03.

occupies top spot on the podium. First part of the mission

:13:04.:13:06.

accomplished - Nicola Adams is through to the final for the second

:13:07.:13:12.

successive Olympic Games. Another gold medal fight on Saturday. Yes,

:13:13.:13:15.

another fight. I'm excited. I can't wait. This is what I have been

:13:16.:13:19.

training for for the last four years. I'm really to go. You

:13:20.:13:22.

obviously fought somebody who you knew very well and beaten in London,

:13:23.:13:27.

how much was that in your mind when you walked into the ring today? To

:13:28.:13:30.

be honest, I wasn't thinking about it too much, four years is a lot of

:13:31.:13:35.

time for a person to change style and technique and strengthen their

:13:36.:13:38.

weaknesses. I started to take it for what it was and going there and

:13:39.:13:42.

stick to the tactics. As you're talking you're throwing out that

:13:43.:13:46.

jab. That jab was immense today, won you the fight, didn't it? Yes, it

:13:47.:13:50.

did. I was using the jab, I got long arms and I just paid off. You were

:13:51.:13:56.

so calm, at least apparently, anyway. Were you nervous? I'm

:13:57.:14:02.

nervous in every competition, you need that nervous energy to give you

:14:03.:14:07.

the adrenaline. So... I have a last question - how excited are you now

:14:08.:14:10.

about what lies ahead? I'm really excited now. I like to say thank you

:14:11.:14:14.

to everybody that's supporting back at home. I love you.

:14:15.:14:27.

Well in Saturday's final - Adams faces France's Ourahmoune. The

:14:28.:14:31.

34-year-old bronze medallist at this year's world championships plans to

:14:32.:14:35.

retire after the Olympics. I wonder what kind of farewell it could be.

:14:36.:14:43.

So could be a second gold medal for Nicola Adams. Let's talk to a man

:14:44.:14:48.

who has plenty of gold medals, Michael Johnson in the Olympic

:14:49.:14:52.

Stadium ahead of Usain Bolt in the 200m. Gemili in the race as well.

:14:53.:14:57.

Michael no Justin Gatlin. Is there a changer to Bolt at all in this case?

:14:58.:15:01.

If so, what is it? There's really no danger. You know, there's no one

:15:02.:15:07.

that can run with Bolt when he's healthy. Justin Gatlin has always

:15:08.:15:10.

been considered the rival simply because - in the because of a real

:15:11.:15:13.

going back and forth between the two, but simply because he's the

:15:14.:15:17.

closest person - the person who can get closest to Bolt and cause any

:15:18.:15:21.

sort of challenge. With him now being out of the race, I don't see

:15:22.:15:25.

anyone who's able to run with Bolt. He's so relaxed. We're going to see

:15:26.:15:33.

some shots of him now in the Olympic Stadium doing an Alli shuffle, just

:15:34.:15:37.

enjoying himself. Do you know who's going to be the next big face of

:15:38.:15:43.

athletes, do you think people sometimes people forget he wasn't

:15:44.:15:46.

like this at the start. This has all come with the confidence of winning?

:15:47.:15:50.

Yeah, but you know - he really was this way at the beginning when he

:15:51.:15:53.

first came on the scene, anyway, back in 2008 and if you remember

:15:54.:15:56.

back in Beijing, you know, people said that he wasn't good for the

:15:57.:16:01.

sport and that he was too flashy and showy and arrogant and - but then,

:16:02.:16:05.

you know, people started to realise this is just who he is and he's most

:16:06.:16:08.

comfortable in this situation. When you talk to Usain Bolt one-on-one,

:16:09.:16:13.

doesn't matter if it's fans or media or anyone else, he's quite shy in

:16:14.:16:18.

one-to-one close contact with people. But out on the track when

:16:19.:16:24.

he's away from everyone else and - he feels very confident and

:16:25.:16:27.

comfortable and he enjoys this. You know, I don't think - in terms of

:16:28.:16:33.

the next great star of the sport, that doesn't mean they're going to

:16:34.:16:36.

be a Usain Bolt. I don't think we're going to see another Usain Bolt - a

:16:37.:16:39.

combination of being a really special and unique athlete who is

:16:40.:16:43.

one of the best that's ever been, and with this sort of personality

:16:44.:16:46.

and entertainment, you know, factor that he brings. I think he just did

:16:47.:16:51.

a dab as well in the middle of that. He really does have all the moves.

:16:52.:16:56.

Actually you think our attitudes to him have changed rather than him

:16:57.:17:00.

changing? Exactly. And, yeah, our attitude to him has changed. I think

:17:01.:17:04.

fans have started to realise over time that it is authentic, this is

:17:05.:17:09.

who he is, it's not an act or arrogant. He has been consistently a

:17:10.:17:13.

fantastic ambassador for the sport and he has shown out there when he's

:17:14.:17:17.

on the track he really appreciates the fans and he wants to give this

:17:18.:17:23.

to them - this entertainment and these great performances. So the

:17:24.:17:27.

race is still over two hours away, it means 2:30 in the UK. If there

:17:28.:17:33.

isn't a danger for him and it's all nearly a forgone conclusion, another

:17:34.:17:37.

reason - or a reason to keep people up if there isn't that jeopardy

:17:38.:17:40.

element is that this could be the last time we see him run a 200m. He

:17:41.:17:45.

said he won't run it at the Worlds next year. Yeah, this will be

:17:46.:17:49.

effectively the last time we see him in a 200m. It will be the last time

:17:50.:17:54.

we see him in an individual event at an Olympic Games, and - but you know

:17:55.:17:59.

the other thing is the reason to watch is because, you know, if it

:18:00.:18:03.

was a forgone conclusion and he was awarded the medal because he's the

:18:04.:18:07.

best, we wouldn't be having the race. So you still have to go out

:18:08.:18:12.

there and produce the performance and finish line ahead of the other

:18:13.:18:17.

guys and they won't lie down and let that happen. They're going to be

:18:18.:18:20.

pushing him and anything can happen at the Olympic level. I have seen

:18:21.:18:23.

huge overwhelming favourites go down and not produce on the day. That can

:18:24.:18:28.

happen. The other thing is I think behind Bolt, it is going to be very

:18:29.:18:32.

good race for the other medals assuming he is given the gold or

:18:33.:18:35.

that he earns the gold. There's a silver and bronze up for grabs, I

:18:36.:18:39.

think it's very close for those medals and it's a toss-up as to who

:18:40.:18:44.

might actually take those. Good talk to you Michael. Thank you very much.

:18:45.:18:50.

The rest of this athletes team with Gabi Logan from around 12:30 year on

:18:51.:18:56.

BBC One. Here are some of the events you can look forward to: The

:18:57.:19:00.

decathlon reaching it conclusion, semifinals of the men's 1,500m. The

:19:01.:19:07.

final of the women's javelin. And the women's 400 hurdles. Remember we

:19:08.:19:12.

got Jade Jones at 2 o'clock. It's Jade Jones at the Taekwondo at 2

:19:13.:19:15.

o'clock. Usain Bolt and Adam Gemili and the rest in the men's 200 at

:19:16.:19:21.

2:30. On to cycling now, of course, all

:19:22.:19:25.

the attention has been on the velodrome over the past few days.

:19:26.:19:31.

But today, the focus was on BMX and in particular it was on Liam

:19:32.:19:36.

Phillips. This is how his quarterfinal went.

:19:37.:19:44.

Here we go. The first raise for Phillips from Great Britain. Away

:19:45.:19:55.

they go, good start from Liam Phillips. Over the triples they go

:19:56.:20:00.

into turn 1. Liam Phillips just forced out a little bit wide by

:20:01.:20:05.

Graph. Phillips has gone down. He's crashed on his first run. Three

:20:06.:20:12.

riders taken out. And now the field immediately down to five here and

:20:13.:20:15.

the rider from Canada is racing away from this one and he's been followed

:20:16.:20:20.

all the way down the penultimate straight by the remnants of the

:20:21.:20:25.

field but it's the easiest victory that he could have and the German

:20:26.:20:31.

rider comes over the line in second place and then in third place,

:20:32.:20:37.

Jefferson Milano from Ecuador, and the South African rider fourth, but

:20:38.:20:43.

a disastrous start to his Olympic campaign here for Britain's Liam

:20:44.:20:47.

Phillips and the worry has to be whether that Olympic campaign has

:20:48.:20:50.

already come to an end. And it had come to an end. It was a

:20:51.:20:57.

horrible crash for Phillips, the 2013 world champion was expected to

:20:58.:21:01.

be one of the contenders here in Rio, but he suffered - it was

:21:02.:21:05.

horrible to watch again. He suffered mild concussion. So Chris put a

:21:06.:21:09.

tweet out that the conditions were not ideal today. There were strong

:21:10.:21:14.

winds - in his words, "Less than perfect track." As you can see, a

:21:15.:21:18.

wheel of a competitor's bike actually hit Liam after he had come

:21:19.:21:26.

off and he was understandably led away with concussion although he has

:21:27.:21:31.

tweeted later on this evening, "I'm OK. Thanks for all the messages." He

:21:32.:21:37.

is there in his GB kit in a hospital bed.

:21:38.:21:43.

Now, tomorrow night from 9:30 on BBC One, we have the women's hockey

:21:44.:21:48.

final. It is of course Team GB taking on the netherlands, we'll

:21:49.:21:51.

have that game live and in full for you. Tonight it was the men's hockey

:21:52.:21:55.

final. Two surprise finalists really hear in Belgium who were the sixth

:21:56.:22:01.

seeds taking on Argentina who are the seventh seed, your commentators

:22:02.:22:15.

were match Hilton and Simon Mason. Oh, they got it. What a start for

:22:16.:22:23.

Belgium. Scored! He was in the right place at the right time, put his

:22:24.:22:26.

stick in the way. The ball found the goal. Belgium won! -- Belgium one,

:22:27.:22:34.

Argentina nil. Don't throw your stick away, you might need it again.

:22:35.:22:38.

Argentina with the first penalty corner of the match. Draws back

:22:39.:22:46.

inside. Oh, he has let it slip and the goal is awarded. He took the car

:22:47.:22:53.

ner but it was pounced upon to be pushed past. Belgium 1, Argentina 1.

:22:54.:23:02.

Into the circle again, high ball, Argentina have control. Argentina

:23:03.:23:03.

have scored! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:23:04.:23:14.

Argentina 2, Belgium 1. The great men for umpiring, touched inside,

:23:15.:23:19.

flicked across to Nash, Cortez brings it down. Ortiz just drives it

:23:20.:23:30.

across. Belgium 1, Argentina 2. They're lined up. Might be something

:23:31.:23:35.

more traditional here. Give it to Gonzalo. And he scores, that's what

:23:36.:23:42.

he does - time and time again. He gets nowhere near it. Gonzalo gives

:23:43.:23:55.

Argentina a 3-1 lead. Gunia releases it again. Oh, what a goal. What an

:23:56.:24:02.

incredible piece of individual skill from him. Pick-up, looks up, tucks

:24:03.:24:09.

it inside, takes it to the hair, doesn't have time for a long swing,

:24:10.:24:16.

look at the foot rotation here, round, bang, past the player, what a

:24:17.:24:21.

goal! He's scoring an astonishing goal that brings Belgium back into

:24:22.:24:25.

the game. A bit of basketball, bit after cricket, bit of everything

:24:26.:24:33.

there. Three minutes left in the gold medal match. The goalkeeper is

:24:34.:24:40.

heading off. Belgium are bringing on an extra outfield player and taking

:24:41.:24:44.

another player off. Will be without a goalkeeper for the last two

:24:45.:24:48.

minutes and 56 seconds of the gold medal match. Argentina in

:24:49.:24:54.

possession. No goalkeeper for Belgium remember! 30 seconds left on

:24:55.:25:05.

the clock. ', there's a wide open goal here! And there it is!

:25:06.:25:10.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Sits down in the goal - 4-2. It was

:25:11.:25:20.

Mazzilli who has the simplest of opportunities presented to him by

:25:21.:25:25.

the lack of Belgium's goalkeeper. They tried to get it across, they

:25:26.:25:33.

had to go lateral. The ball popped up, Mazzilli keeps bouncing. There's

:25:34.:25:46.

a suggestion there,. Great celebrations for Carlos, the blue

:25:47.:25:50.

and white-clad fans with their flags an banners. They're jumping for joy.

:25:51.:25:58.

Argentina can celebrate last. They are the Olympic hockey champions

:25:59.:26:06.

with a 4-2 victory over Belgium. There were plenty of Argentinians

:26:07.:26:12.

celebrating across Rio with that win and just to reiterate, it was 9

:26:13.:26:15.

o'clock tomorrow. Netherlands against Great Britain, the women's

:26:16.:26:20.

hockey final, that is 9 o'clock and we'll be m live on BBC One.

:26:21.:26:26.

I thought I'd leave my big mistake until the end!

:26:27.:26:29.

(LAUGHTER) You were doing so well. Going all so

:26:30.:26:33.

well. You walked in and I fell apart. You had a good day. You were

:26:34.:26:45.

with the Brownlees. I was sweating watching them doing the film today.

:26:46.:26:49.

I lost half a stone, can you tell? I couldn't get into this suit when I

:26:50.:26:52.

got here. Looking good. Thank you very much indeed. A good evening to

:26:53.:26:56.

you, we got lots of great live sport for you. Track and field, and a bit

:26:57.:27:00.

of wrestling and Taekwondo. This is what's coming up.

:27:01.:27:09.

So we will be live to see if a Taekwondo player, Jade Jones, can

:27:10.:27:14.

defend her 57 kilo title. She fights for gold at 2:00am against a tough

:27:15.:27:20.

Spanish rival. Usain Bolt, meanwhile, wants to take

:27:21.:27:23.

his tally to eight in tonight's 200m final.

:27:24.:27:30.

Canada's Andre De Grasse might have something to say about that,

:27:31.:27:37.

however. Adam Gemili is the great British

:27:38.:27:47.

hope in that 200m showdown. The 400m hurdles final features

:27:48.:27:58.

Britain Eilidh Doyle. As for the fellow Scot, Lindsay Sharp, she's in

:27:59.:28:06.

800m action. She will line up in the same semifinal as the overwhelming

:28:07.:28:13.

favourite for gold Caster Semenya. And Charlie Grice takes to the track

:28:14.:28:21.

in the 1,500m semifinals. We have got a lot of sport for you tonight.

:28:22.:28:24.

Right across the Olympic games this evening. This is available on BBC

:28:25.:28:28.

Four right now. We got a bit of basketball for you and a lot of

:28:29.:28:32.

smiling by the looks of it as well! It's the United States against

:28:33.:28:35.

France and there's a man who seems to be tapping his head - not too

:28:36.:28:39.

sure what's going on there. However, if you want some BBC Four action, US

:28:40.:28:43.

against France, that's available for you. Don't forget great coverage for

:28:44.:28:49.

you BBC Radio Live and the BBC sports app. So we cannot wait for

:28:50.:28:53.

Taekwondo later on. Can Jade Jones retain her Olympic title? We shall

:28:54.:28:57.

find out later. We got so much sport for you this evening, but we cannot

:28:58.:29:01.

wait for the athletes. Let's join Gabi and the team at the Olympic

:29:02.:29:08.

Stadium. Time - the measure of mankind. Our

:29:09.:29:16.

master. Ruling over us. Precyst tent. -- persistent. Unrelenting. A

:29:17.:29:28.

world record has gone. This man surely is... Waiting for no one. A

:29:29.:29:34.

new world record for Usain Bolt. We can't control it. We can't turn it

:29:35.:29:39.

back. Usain Bolt has false-started. Yet, we fight it. Will be all about

:29:40.:29:46.

Michael Johnson at the front. Try to break it. Johnson storming away.

:29:47.:29:50.

It's the past. The world record beckons and it's gone! 43.18. The

:29:51.:30:00.

present... He takes it and Michael Johnson's record has gone. The

:30:01.:30:01.

future... Time. Time is everything. Time certainly is a very big factor

:30:02.:30:16.

in this sport and I hope you're going to have a very good time

:30:17.:30:19.

tonight because we have a fantastic evening ahead of us. And I'm

:30:20.:30:22.

delighted that Paula and Denise and Michael are alongside me to enjoy

:30:23.:30:26.

it, and if you could pick one thing tonight looking forward to, Michael,

:30:27.:30:30.

what is it going to be? I'm looking forward to the 200m race that's

:30:31.:30:35.

going to happen behind Usain Bolt. (LAUGHTER)

:30:36.:30:39.

I think there's going to be a battle for those other medals, and it's

:30:40.:30:42.

going to be interesting. That's the problem with Bolt - if there's a

:30:43.:30:48.

problem with him he takes attention away and sucks up all the air in the

:30:49.:30:52.

room. But there are other guys there who want a medal. We'll look at your

:30:53.:30:56.

analysis in a bit of time. Denise? I think for me the other great athlete

:30:57.:31:02.

that will be finishing tonight is Ashton Eaton in the men's decathlon,

:31:03.:31:06.

he's one of the unsung heros in the sport. We got a huge character like

:31:07.:31:12.

Usain, but he's on for another Olympic medal and he's - gruelling

:31:13.:31:17.

two days for these guys. They had no time to stop and breathe and take in

:31:18.:31:21.

just how tired they really are. Had to keep going and going. It would be

:31:22.:31:28.

nice to see him get decorated tonight Paula? There's all the

:31:29.:31:32.

things we have talked about. The women's 400m hurdles final and I

:31:33.:31:37.

think also women's 800m semifinals and men's 1,500m semifinals. I want

:31:38.:31:42.

to see our guys and girls move through those tough semifinals. OK.

:31:43.:31:45.

Let's put that all into context for you and show you how the evening is

:31:46.:31:49.

shaping up. The roar you heard behind me there were for the men in

:31:50.:31:54.

the men's shot put final being introduced to the crowd. At 12:45 is

:31:55.:31:59.

those semifinals that Paula was talking about. Charlie Grice and

:32:00.:32:04.

Chris O'Hare going in that. The women's javelin finals going from

:32:05.:32:10.

1:10, and the women's 800m. And the decathlon comes to a dramatic - it

:32:11.:32:15.

always is. They do look like the wounded warriors when they go around

:32:16.:32:22.

the 1,500m. And the women's hurdles finals with Doyle in the line-up at

:32:23.:32:26.

2:15. And then there's the small matter of Usain Bolt attempting to

:32:27.:32:31.

win his eighth Olympic gold medal at 2:30. However, there is also a Jade

:32:32.:32:37.

Jones going and her fight is - her gold medal fight is at 2 o'clock in

:32:38.:32:41.

the morning. So we will be going over there and you will get that

:32:42.:32:45.

live here on BBC One - have no fear. But, of course, that 200m is the one

:32:46.:32:50.

for the evening, potentially the last time we will see Usain Bolt

:32:51.:32:55.

running a 200m. Certainly an Olympic 200m. Through the ages there have

:32:56.:33:00.

been some classic 200m races. Let's have a walk back in the archives.

:33:01.:33:13.

# All this time... There they go, there's Bobby Smithers. Also going

:33:14.:33:21.

well the lane two, Bobby from America going well and Bobby from

:33:22.:33:23.

America. Demonstrating clearly to the world

:33:24.:33:39.

there that he is the supreme sprinter.

:33:40.:33:48.

Away they go. First time. He's passed him on the bend. Landed on

:33:49.:33:53.

the inside, he's one of the magnificent men. He's trying to

:33:54.:34:01.

close that gab. And he's hanging on! But the gap is closing. But Manaia

:34:02.:34:11.

from Italy gets there. A beautiful start. They got away

:34:12.:34:18.

have smoothly and look at him. Carl Lewis is away. Carl Lewis leading

:34:19.:34:24.

and being chased by the Brazilian. Carl Lewis all the way. Third place

:34:25.:34:31.

is Jefferson of America. And Lewis wins this. Baptists second. 19.81!

:34:32.:34:44.

Away, look at the background. Usual Johnson is blistering away. Lane 6

:34:45.:34:51.

is Boulton and Fredericks but it's Johnson. And Johnson is going away!

:34:52.:34:58.

Johnson by yards! Johnson wins his second gold.

:34:59.:35:08.

They get away and left in the blocks of USA, and Malcolm is right there

:35:09.:35:14.

as well. Bolden just in the lead as they come into the bend. And here

:35:15.:35:24.

come Campbell. He's going to get there and Bolden probably third.

:35:25.:35:27.

Silver medal for Campbell. Wow! Away they go, and Usain Bolt already

:35:28.:35:41.

going past Zengai as if he wasn't there, blasting around that top end,

:35:42.:35:45.

bolt belt bolt, Dick running into second place. Trying to hang on to

:35:46.:35:53.

the tall Jamaican. What's the time? It's gold for Usain Bolt! World

:35:54.:35:56.

record, I do not believe it! Absolutely brilliant.

:35:57.:36:01.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It's a clean start, Bolt is out of

:36:02.:36:12.

the start really well. Look at Bolt go! It's a three metres lead and

:36:13.:36:18.

they're coming to the home straight. They're not going to catch him. Bolt

:36:19.:36:26.

is going to do it again. Gold all the way!

:36:27.:36:32.

We were saying to you just a bit earlier - I love the 200m. I think

:36:33.:36:39.

more than the 100m because of the bend and because it's a bit longer

:36:40.:36:43.

and you get to enjoy it a bit longer, but also it's got those gear

:36:44.:36:48.

changes that make it a bit more - think a little bit more. You can sit

:36:49.:36:53.

back and enjoy it a bit longer than you can than the 100m. We're sitting

:36:54.:36:57.

here, you can. But you can enjoy the 200m. It's a beautiful event, like

:36:58.:37:01.

you said coming around the bend, gives it a bit more visual interest

:37:02.:37:06.

and it's - you know, how you actually transition from running

:37:07.:37:09.

around the bend on to the straight, two completely different components

:37:10.:37:15.

of the race in terms of bio mechanics. It's a beautiful race to

:37:16.:37:21.

watch. Let's look at the racers, but also at Bolt as well. But we'll head

:37:22.:37:25.

out to Steve because there's some news developing in the decathlon.

:37:26.:37:35.

The penultimate event of the decathlon is the javelin, there's

:37:36.:37:39.

Kevin Mayer of France is having the event of his life. This is the first

:37:40.:37:49.

round throw, it was his best. Absolutely smashed it across the two

:37:50.:37:54.

days. Five life-time bests coming into this javelin. Lifetime best is

:37:55.:38:01.

66m, he's just shy of that. He's going to break the French record

:38:02.:38:06.

quite comfortably. 1,500m, the only event to come. Kevin Mayer 65.0 4.

:38:07.:38:18.

That was his best of the three. So Ashton Eaton absolutely superb

:38:19.:38:21.

across the two days as well. It hasn't been the runaway victory that

:38:22.:38:27.

many talks about but it's been convincing, his coach there, Harry,

:38:28.:38:31.

behind. Javelin withdrawn. Round 3 was his best - big scream from the

:38:32.:38:39.

reigning champion. Bang on 60m. It was measured at 59point 77. --

:38:40.:38:44.

59.77. And that would be enough just to keep him in the lead, but Mayer

:38:45.:38:50.

closing down the gap, five metres difference - the Frenchman. Five

:38:51.:38:56.

metres better than Eaton's best in that third round.

:38:57.:39:04.

The man currently in third place overall is Damian Warner of Canada.

:39:05.:39:13.

And his best was also in the third round. Took him the three throws to

:39:14.:39:25.

get him over the 60m mark. 63.19. So it looks as though the medals are

:39:26.:39:33.

maybe set after these three throws. Long couple of days and Warner may

:39:34.:39:39.

have toll settle for a bronze. Just the 1,500m to decide where the

:39:40.:39:44.

medals are going to be allocated. Warner then 63.19.

:39:45.:39:52.

Once all the points were tallied, put in the system, there you can see

:39:53.:39:57.

the total points after nine events. Ashton Eaton as anticipated out in

:39:58.:40:04.

front but only a 44 point lead over Kevin Mayer and that equates to

:40:05.:40:09.

about 6.5 seconds over 1,500m. Amade of Warner, just the -- ahead of

:40:10.:40:17.

Warner, just the 1,500m left. Is there any danger that Ashton

:40:18.:40:21.

Eaton might not retain this gold? I don't think so. I mean, if he has to

:40:22.:40:27.

run for it, he really will and he's capable of doing that. Let's not

:40:28.:40:31.

jinx him. Going to be very exciting. Going to be a rate, not a formality,

:40:32.:40:36.

though. No, gone are the days when you see the likes of Dally Thompson

:40:37.:40:40.

just about to cruise around. This will be a proper race, I can

:40:41.:40:45.

guarantee it. That's just as well to cruise around because he didn't have

:40:46.:40:48.

much of a 1,500m. I can say that, because he's not here. He'll be

:40:49.:40:53.

Tweeting. Let's go back to the 200m and have a look at Bolt. I know you

:40:54.:40:57.

got some analysis to look for us. For Bolt, this was interesting in

:40:58.:41:02.

his semifinal, we didn't see the interaction with the crowd and the

:41:03.:41:06.

jubilant nature that he normally displays, this was yesterday

:41:07.:41:09.

morning. Bolt told us before he's not a morning person, but he's OK

:41:10.:41:13.

around the bend and I expected him to come off a little bit more of a

:41:14.:41:17.

lead here. A decent lead at this point, but not much over Andre De

:41:18.:41:22.

Grasse there. And Adam Gemili, he opens it up a little bit and thinks,

:41:23.:41:26.

he can relax. De Grasse actually pushed him to the finish line and

:41:27.:41:31.

there was a bit of playing around and that sort of thing going on, but

:41:32.:41:35.

this ended up actually impacting the final that we're going to see

:41:36.:41:39.

tonight because De Grasse ends up in lane 4, Bolt ends up in lane 6 with

:41:40.:41:46.

both of his main rivals being Andre De Grasse and LaShawn Merritt on the

:41:47.:41:49.

inside of him. That was last night, wasn't it? That was yesterday

:41:50.:41:54.

morning. I thought - sorry. Or last night? Sorry. They had 24 hours.

:41:55.:41:59.

Yeah, they had 24 hours. But he just wasn't in a real best, you know,

:42:00.:42:03.

mood yesterday and he said he felt a little tire and sluggish. So it

:42:04.:42:09.

showed there. Let's see what he does tonight. He turned down the volume

:42:10.:42:12.

on the razzmatazz. That was interesting to see and he commented

:42:13.:42:16.

afterwards he felt a little tired, didn't feel the pop he normally

:42:17.:42:19.

does. But based on what we saw earlier today on the warm-up track,

:42:20.:42:23.

there's lot of pop going on today. Yeah, the girls might have seen

:42:24.:42:31.

that. He was - Michael was chatting earlier with Mark Chapman and Usain

:42:32.:42:37.

Bolt was doing the alley shuffle. Probably some sort of reggae getting

:42:38.:42:40.

his body. Into the groove. You can tell us what you think, Denise when

:42:41.:42:44.

you see the moves what he was listening to. But give it a couple

:42:45.:42:48.

of seconds, you'll see the footwork, prelty good. Yeah, he's ready. He's

:42:49.:42:52.

clearly ready. Fancy-feet! He's going to need it around those bend,

:42:53.:42:57.

isn't he. Got some skills. Got some skills.

:42:58.:43:00.

(LAUGHTER) He's just so shy! Let's...

:43:01.:43:03.

(LAUGHTER) Let's move on to LaShawn Merritt

:43:04.:43:07.

who, of course, got the bronze in the 400m, he was disappointed with

:43:08.:43:11.

that, but he's let the world know he's here for this 200m. I don't

:43:12.:43:14.

know how disappointed he actually was with the 400m. I think he

:43:15.:43:18.

expected to get a medal. He wanted to win it, after, you know, a world

:43:19.:43:22.

record was run, he probably wasn't as disappointed but I think he's

:43:23.:43:25.

turned his attention to this event, the 200m. Go the fastest time in the

:43:26.:43:31.

world this year still, and he ran very well here and using that 400m

:43:32.:43:35.

strength that he has, he doesn't blaze around the turn like you might

:43:36.:43:39.

see a Usain Bolt do, but he's able to run a really good solid race from

:43:40.:43:44.

start to finish, using that strength, he's very powerful, and

:43:45.:43:48.

very tough - very tough competitor. He believes in himself, he knows he

:43:49.:43:53.

can run longer than anyone else in the race because of his 400m prow

:43:54.:44:00.

ess, the 400m man, and this goes back to high school and college. He

:44:01.:44:03.

actually ran the 200m in high school. So you know, he has that

:44:04.:44:07.

experience and he will - he will see this as an opportunity to do

:44:08.:44:10.

something special in the sport - winning a medal. We will talk more

:44:11.:44:14.

about the 200m later. Look at the other contenders in the field,

:44:15.:44:17.

including Adam Gemili and Alonso Edward. And Paula, there's Charlie

:44:18.:44:22.

Grice out there for the first 1,500m semifinals. Lucky to be there in

:44:23.:44:26.

many ways. Yes. He is definitely lucky to be there. Ingebrigtsen

:44:27.:44:35.

deserved to be disqualified. He needs to run his best here today

:44:36.:44:38.

because it is a tough semifinal. Well, he has another role of the

:44:39.:44:44.

dice. Let's see if he can use it. Steve Cram and Brendan Foster are

:44:45.:44:47.

your commentators for this one. This isn't going to be easy for

:44:48.:44:52.

Charlie Grice or for Chris O'Hare. Two fiefls, first -- semifinals,

:44:53.:44:56.

first five in each and two fastest losers. Charlie in this first one

:44:57.:45:02.

and Philip Ingebrigtsen, the younger brother of Henrik Ingebrigtsen, in

:45:03.:45:12.

fact, all although Henrik Ingebrigtsen is more well-known, his

:45:13.:45:15.

brother is running past him. Charlie was fading badly and probably a bit

:45:16.:45:21.

fortunate to have been advanced. The German was advanced as well. Got 13

:45:22.:45:31.

in both races, only 12. So let's look at the shot put, though, Steve.

:45:32.:45:44.

Early lead, the competitor from Congo. The world leader of over 22m.

:45:45.:45:50.

Big response from the American. World champion last year screams!

:45:51.:45:57.

Around the Olympic Stadium, the big men are out and they want people to

:45:58.:46:02.

know about it. Kovacs close to the 22m line there. It's 21.78, that

:46:03.:46:17.

takes the lead. Let's quickly look at the start. The shot put final

:46:18.:46:24.

going on, of course. Lots of names you'll recognise, Nick Willis,

:46:25.:46:27.

Ingebrigtsen, getting back into good form f you like. Seurei is in here,

:46:28.:46:31.

former Kenyan running for bar rain, could be a danger. Iguider, Olympic

:46:32.:46:39.

medallist. And the champion from 2008 and the champion from 2012,

:46:40.:46:47.

Makhloufi. Add people in there from Blankenship. But this is a tough

:46:48.:46:51.

semi. There's arguing to be the 1,500m semifinals, we saw with the

:46:52.:46:55.

women, the standard how high it is. Makhloufi won a silver medal in the

:46:56.:47:03.

800m could well challenge. So Kiprop, though, looks a little

:47:04.:47:08.

nervous. They will trust their pace at the end. All these guys can

:47:09.:47:14.

sprint. That's why they're 4 in the semifinal including Charlie, he's

:47:15.:47:17.

got to put what happened in the heats to the back of his mind. I'm

:47:18.:47:24.

sure he has done. Ingebrigtsen, European champion back in Olympic

:47:25.:47:35.

year 2012. Nick Willis, well, he sacheted his way. And Iguider can

:47:36.:47:41.

finish quickly as well. And this man can be very dangerous in the rounds,

:47:42.:47:45.

he doesn't have the - such quick times although he has run a new

:47:46.:47:52.

national record this year of 3.33.36. But the Czech Republic

:47:53.:47:59.

competitor can sprint as well. 1,500m semifinal. As ever, we'll see

:48:00.:48:10.

them sprint off the line and then just curious as to see whether

:48:11.:48:13.

anybody really wants to settle and make this a little bit quick. Kiprop

:48:14.:48:17.

at the back. Ingebrigtsen at the back, didn't sprint off the line.

:48:18.:48:24.

Little bit of a jog, if you think back to the women's 1,500m final, it

:48:25.:48:29.

became on edge in the middle race. So many of these guys can sprint.

:48:30.:48:34.

Grice learnt a lesson in the heats that everybody can sprint. So

:48:35.:48:37.

sometimes - I don't think Charlie will want to go to the front, of

:48:38.:48:41.

course he won't, but just has to be really aware, get himself in the

:48:42.:48:44.

best position possible when they get in the last two laps. After watching

:48:45.:48:49.

him the over day in the first round and that - I thought he was fading

:48:50.:48:53.

in the later stages. I'm very nervous. This is a tough

:48:54.:48:57.

qualification. You got two Olympic champions, you got two Olympic

:48:58.:49:00.

medallists, two your Honour champions in this race. And there's

:49:01.:49:04.

only five to go through in the first lap has been pretty pedestrian

:49:05.:49:07.

there. 63 seconds, so they're now beginning to move along. You got to

:49:08.:49:11.

do that. I think the faster race will suit Charlie Grice but there he

:49:12.:49:15.

is settling down, at least they're going at a reasonable pace, that

:49:16.:49:22.

means less problems, going to get less frubl bumping into one another.

:49:23.:49:26.

And Kiprop out the back, probably the favourite. He is the favourite

:49:27.:49:32.

but Makhloufi is in there, Willis, Iguider is there. They're all

:49:33.:49:36.

medallist in the 1,500m in the Olympic Games. Four medallist in

:49:37.:49:45.

this game alone. Kaazouzi steps to one side. Blankenship happy to glide

:49:46.:49:51.

through. Two laps to go. Normally they start to speed up here because

:49:52.:49:55.

they went fast they slowed again, this is now going to become as ever

:49:56.:49:59.

a big sprint over the last 5 or 600m. Charlie is in a bad place

:50:00.:50:03.

there. This is the lap he needs to get himself in a better place than

:50:04.:50:07.

that. It's a test of nerves. It's a test of physical demand. Not yet,

:50:08.:50:11.

though. It will be fast and fast and fast, and he's got to make his move.

:50:12.:50:15.

So there they go. Down the back straight, Charlie Grice on the

:50:16.:50:18.

inside. Surrounded by talent - surrounded by people who are faster

:50:19.:50:22.

than him, surrounded by people who have run better 1,500m than him.

:50:23.:50:26.

Right now he's in the middle. Not even in a good position there. Going

:50:27.:50:31.

to have to do an awful amount of work. Needs a bit of a break to get

:50:32.:50:35.

lucky here. He's in a bad spot there, but you can't panic now. Too

:50:36.:50:39.

many bodies around, as Seurei is the first to break and then the gaps

:50:40.:50:43.

will come. Charlie just dipped back inside there. Following Nick Willis

:50:44.:50:46.

as they come around to take the bell. They come to the bell and here

:50:47.:50:52.

comes Asbel Kiprop, former Olympic champion on the other outside. And

:50:53.:50:56.

Makhloufi in the green vest. You can see them lining across three

:50:57.:51:00.

abreast. Right in the middle there is Charlie Grice as they go through

:51:01.:51:04.

three laps here. That was faster, and now they're really stretching.

:51:05.:51:08.

And he is fit, he is strong. He's got a bit of a chance. Kiprop

:51:09.:51:13.

gliding down the back straight, Blankenship moves, Charlie Grice

:51:14.:51:16.

looking for some room on the inside and he gets it. Willis not out of

:51:17.:51:22.

this yet. Top five only to go through. Can't be guaranteed a time

:51:23.:51:26.

at this place. Makhloufi looking comfortable. Iguider looking good.

:51:27.:51:32.

Charlie Grice is going to have to dig deep. Can't get past

:51:33.:51:35.

Blankenship. A gap opens up for him. Kiprop is there. Charlie still

:51:36.:51:38.

there. Got to hang in right to the line. Makhloufi, Willis,

:51:39.:51:40.

Blankenship, Iguider, Charlie Grice fifth. Makes it! 3.39.74. Well done,

:51:41.:51:50.

Charlie. He may have been fortunate to make it through. What he didn't

:51:51.:51:55.

do is, as I said to the bell, is not panic. He realised it was in a not

:51:56.:51:59.

good position, and when you're in that position, you cross your

:52:00.:52:03.

fingers and you hope go things happen for him, plane Dan - he's

:52:04.:52:07.

managed to sneak through, past your eye at 200 to go. If that had been

:52:08.:52:11.

blocked off, he was finished. If Blankenship had not finished as

:52:12.:52:14.

strongly in the home straight, then Charlie would have struggled as well

:52:15.:52:18.

to recover from. He's now seen it. He's 4 in the Olympic final. Huge

:52:19.:52:23.

relief and a huge achievement as we. Well done Charlie. A real

:52:24.:52:27.

achievement by Charlie Grice. And John, being his coach, they must

:52:28.:52:30.

have been nervous the other day. They had some doubts about him the

:52:31.:52:34.

other day. But here he is. Into the Olympic final, got to be delighted

:52:35.:52:37.

with that. He really has worked hard for this. His strength, is probably

:52:38.:52:43.

better than his speed, but there he goes. As Steve was saying during

:52:44.:52:46.

commentary, he never got himself in a great position. He's in amongst

:52:47.:52:50.

the runners all around him, a push there which gave him a bit of a

:52:51.:52:54.

chance, a bit of a fortunate move through on the inside and look how

:52:55.:52:59.

far behind Kiprop is. As they stretch there now, as Kiprop, four

:53:00.:53:05.

runners abreast at this point, down the back straight, Charlie Grice got

:53:06.:53:08.

his first break. Blankenship on the bend, Kiprop on his shoulder and

:53:09.:53:12.

there the Olympic champion, Makhloufi alongside him, so there's

:53:13.:53:16.

no shortage of talent there. Certainly isn't, but there is a

:53:17.:53:20.

determination in charmy Grice. Look at that one - very, very lucky there

:53:21.:53:26.

to get a gap on the inside. He comes quickly there, Kiprop coasting,

:53:27.:53:31.

Makhloufi coasting, here comes Willis on the outside and

:53:32.:53:34.

Blankenship just leaning forward and Charlie Grice, he wasn't sure about

:53:35.:53:40.

it, but he was fifth in that one, that was in the first five and the

:53:41.:53:46.

two fastest losers. But on the inside, Charlie Grice seeing his

:53:47.:53:49.

chance, he's got a chance. He's determined. That's what he's worked

:53:50.:53:54.

for. That's why he's trained so hard - to get there. Makhloufi and

:53:55.:53:57.

Kiprop, two Olympic champions ahead of him. Well done Charlie Grice and

:53:58.:54:03.

he's downstairs there talking with Phil.

:54:04.:54:06.

Thanks, Brendan. A big well done from Brendan and Steve. What a huge

:54:07.:54:11.

achievement it is. And you must feel it like it yourself? To come fifth

:54:12.:54:16.

place, when the pace was slow, I was kind of a bit nervous, but I knew my

:54:17.:54:21.

speed was good and I ran awful on Tuesday, I don't know what happened.

:54:22.:54:25.

I just told myself to stay patient and, yeah, glad I redeemed myself,

:54:26.:54:29.

because Tuesday wasn't me. And you took the inside track. I think the

:54:30.:54:34.

key there was not to panic. Yeah, it was. I mean, it was a definitely a

:54:35.:54:38.

fight of a finish there, but I told myself to stay on the inside, and a

:54:39.:54:44.

few times - people were cutting in and stuff so I was glad I stayed on

:54:45.:54:48.

my feet. Obviously you were bumped and barged as you were trying to

:54:49.:54:52.

finish the other day, and got back in after a protest, at that point,

:54:53.:54:55.

did you think your Olympic Games might be over? Yeah, it wasn't

:54:56.:54:59.

actually a protest. Apparently before they put the protest in, the

:55:00.:55:02.

judge said I was in straightaway. So I was pretty fortunate on that

:55:03.:55:07.

occasion. So just wanted to make sure proved myself today because

:55:08.:55:11.

there's been a lot of people getting protesting and getting advanced. So

:55:12.:55:16.

just glad that I was back to myself today and trusted my sprint. Olympic

:55:17.:55:19.

finalist, can you take it in? Amazing. It's bloody close, but,

:55:20.:55:24.

yeah, just thrilled. So, yeah, on to the final in two days. So rest up

:55:25.:55:28.

and going to be a cracker. Well done, Charlie, we wish you well for

:55:29.:55:32.

the final. Cheers, mate. So by 600th of a second, that's all.

:55:33.:55:41.

There you see the results - top five only to go through and that 3.40.05,

:55:42.:55:48.

a second semi to come. They would have seen that, they can go faster,

:55:49.:55:52.

but they probably might not. Remains to be seen.

:55:53.:55:58.

Looking forward to see what this man can do, Ryan Crouser, US champion,

:55:59.:56:08.

he's 6ft 7 and he rotated the shot. Tall man. That's over 22m! Ryan

:56:09.:56:14.

Crouser in the second round of the shot put, his team-mate - Kovacs -

:56:15.:56:19.

in the lead at the moment with 21.78. That am certainly - well it's

:56:20.:56:31.

beyond it. That's over the 22m line! Crouser - inexperience, no previous

:56:32.:56:36.

form to talk of T 23 years of age. Just given everyone something to

:56:37.:56:45.

talk about. 22.22m. Kiprop looked good in that first heat who was the

:56:46.:56:49.

strong favourite. And they have another contender here, Kenya.

:56:50.:56:54.

Should have had two in here, but Elijah Motonei Manangoi is out with

:56:55.:57:03.

a hamstring problem. Bronze over 800 in the world champions, he's got

:57:04.:57:23.

that kind of piece. Alongside him. There is Kwemoi. Just 20 and

:57:24.:57:29.

astonishing talent. A junior world record holder with 3.28 spnt 21 when

:57:30.:57:35.

he ran when he was 18. That was exactly the same mark as Mo Farah.

:57:36.:57:40.

Ryan Gregson, the Australian champion, showed very good speed

:57:41.:57:43.

down the home straight to qualify. And Matthew Centrowitz Jr world

:57:44.:57:59.

indoor champion. Silver in the Worlds in Moscow. Fourth in the

:58:00.:58:04.

Olympic time in London. But Chris O'Hare, he's called himself a bit of

:58:05.:58:09.

a terrier, he'll be in the right position. Invariably he is. Does he

:58:10.:58:14.

have the speed to leave here. Two fastest losers. We'll look for the

:58:15.:58:25.

pace for this one. O'Hare five from the front there and immediately

:58:26.:58:29.

taken out by the 23-year-old from Uganda. And in behind is Centrowitz

:58:30.:58:38.

and the Spaniard as well, Bustos. Here, we talk about tactics in the

:58:39.:58:43.

1500 and perhaps Grice doesn't get it right, but has great speed. Here

:58:44.:58:46.

always seems to get the tactics right. I think you're right there. I

:58:47.:58:57.

tell you what - it means seven of these athletes could go through,

:58:58.:59:02.

everyone one of these athletes have run faster than 3.40, that's

:59:03.:59:05.

immediately a little bit quicker than in the first round. That's

:59:06.:59:09.

sensible, and good running. In the middle there, having an easy run

:59:10.:59:13.

there, having a nice position, which seems to be less crowding there, as

:59:14.:59:17.

they go faster, coming through there with 59.6. This is clearly faster.

:59:18.:59:22.

This is a bigger advantage for this field. I think all seven of these

:59:23.:59:26.

could come from the two faster losers and the five could come from

:59:27.:59:35.

this eat. A big advantage as Kwemoi. And Manangoi has been ruled out with

:59:36.:59:43.

a hamstring injury. You could get se von going through from this one. The

:59:44.:59:48.

Canadian just steadying himself from the arm. They're slightly more

:59:49.:59:52.

stretched out then they were in the first semifinal. That's right.

:59:53.:59:55.

Running a good race here - Chris O'Hare. Just on the outside on the

:59:56.:00:01.

shoulder of Centrowitz who I would be sure would be qualifying from

:00:02.:00:05.

this one. There steady running, it's not hard running, pretty steady,

:00:06.:00:08.

probably a little slower than Chris O'Hare. Now deciding wants to take a

:00:09.:00:12.

bit closer. He's strong at the finish. He's going to put himself in

:00:13.:00:16.

with a chance of being and producing that finish and this is a good run

:00:17.:00:20.

from Chris O'Hare. Look for the pace here. And it's pretty much the same

:00:21.:00:25.

as the first one. They have slowed it down a bit. Just inside that. So

:00:26.:00:31.

perhaps might not be too fastest losers going through. And Centrowitz

:00:32.:00:38.

just realises, and edges forward. The pace continues to list. Sixth

:00:39.:00:41.

place at the moment with Chris O'Hare. Just easing his way on the

:00:42.:00:55.

inside of the runner. He niece a good position looks as though

:00:56.:00:58.

they're innu ins creasing their options of qualifying. Chris O'Hare

:00:59.:01:03.

doing well and following Centrowitz. So as they hit the bell, it's

:01:04.:01:11.

Suleman out the front. Just that little bit of extra distance to run.

:01:12.:01:15.

He just moved on that very quickly. A little bit pumped but I think he's

:01:16.:01:19.

now perfectly poised. If he's got the sprint finish, we know he has,

:01:20.:01:23.

he could qualify here. First five to go through automatically. They're

:01:24.:01:27.

all bunched up again and so many in context. O'Hare tries to make his

:01:28.:01:31.

move. This is where he likes to go from 250m out. Round the bend,

:01:32.:01:37.

gritting his teeth and digging in and setting that job. Nobody shows

:01:38.:01:41.

the effort more than O'Hare. Centrowitz looking comfortable.

:01:42.:01:45.

Kwemoi looking comfortable. Greek Greg, the Australian, has a fast

:01:46.:01:50.

finish. O'Hare goes at it again and doesn't have it in the legs. Suleman

:01:51.:01:56.

is there and Kwemoi and Gregson and the second American just holding

:01:57.:02:01.

off. It was Robbie Andrews for the fifth place. And O'Hare - O'Hare had

:02:02.:02:06.

nothing down the home straight and it's painful to watch. A man who's

:02:07.:02:11.

been to the finals of the World Championships didn't compete in

:02:12.:02:14.

London, desperately wanted to get to the final of an Olympic games. But

:02:15.:02:18.

despite giving everything, as he always does, and he puts himself in

:02:19.:02:21.

the right positions but he just didn't have the speed in the legs.

:02:22.:02:26.

He didn't do anything wrong in that race. He was perfectly poised at

:02:27.:02:31.

every point. He matched the pace, which really wasn't quick. The

:02:32.:02:40.

winner does 3.39. But there, a sad figure of Chris O'Hare, one of this

:02:41.:02:46.

large Scottish contingent presenting Great Britain here. He knows the

:02:47.:02:51.

Olympic final was a real potential for him and sadly, he's not going to

:02:52.:02:55.

experience it. There they go, there's the bell. Suleman takes it

:02:56.:03:02.

on. Centrowitz is following him in a good place all the time. Here, Chris

:03:03.:03:08.

O'Hare is perfectly positioned. He's on the outside. He can see what he's

:03:09.:03:14.

doing, the pace was strong enough at this point. And then just a little

:03:15.:03:18.

bit in the back straight, a little bit of fading there from Chris

:03:19.:03:22.

O'Hare and then an acceleration and I wonder if that's sudden

:03:23.:03:26.

acceleration actually is what - why he paid the price in the home

:03:27.:03:29.

straight. Centrowitz not a problem. And at that point, Chris O'Hare, you

:03:30.:03:34.

might have bet on him an at this point, but no, into the point, and

:03:35.:03:37.

then suddenly, it's gone and when it goes like that, the legs have gone,

:03:38.:03:42.

the fatigue is setting in, that burst of speed I think he's paid the

:03:43.:03:47.

price for and Gregson of Australia coming through, but there is Sulema

:03:48.:03:53.

in. A couple of other things to look out for - see Robbie Andrews there,

:03:54.:03:58.

he just about stepped on the rail on the inside of the track as he was

:03:59.:04:02.

trying to come dune. Just watch him here on the inside. He's trying to

:04:03.:04:06.

get around Gebremedhin. You just see his...

:04:07.:04:21.

He has locked him in with 200 to go. Barely made it through. He might

:04:22.:04:29.

make it through with the disqualification for Robbie Andrews.

:04:30.:04:35.

Another look at it. Chris O'Hare in the distance. Difficult to watch.

:04:36.:04:40.

His thoughts. Obviously you are disappointed not to have won the

:04:41.:04:45.

Olympic final. What didn't work? I am not sure. Umm... I was in the

:04:46.:04:55.

position. 200 to go. I thought find. And then I tried to turn it on in

:04:56.:04:59.

the last 100 and it just wasn't there. It was disappointing because

:05:00.:05:06.

I wanted to do so much better for my family and my team and everybody at

:05:07.:05:12.

home who is watching and tuning in. And it was just really disappointing

:05:13.:05:17.

for them as well as myself. I thought I was good enough but

:05:18.:05:25.

obviously not. You were in a great position. Tactically you get it spot

:05:26.:05:31.

on. Anything you would have done differently? No, I mean I think, I

:05:32.:05:38.

can't, obviously, I will have to go back and watch the race. But at the

:05:39.:05:42.

moment I don't feel I have done anything wrong. I tried my best. You

:05:43.:05:49.

know, I guess that is all I can do. But, you know, it was disappointing

:05:50.:05:53.

when I have put all this work in and I thought I was good enough and I

:05:54.:05:58.

am... I just wasn't. We appreciate you talking to us. Thank you. Chris

:05:59.:06:05.

O'Hare, still a reasonably young man, 25, I am sure he will be back

:06:06.:06:09.

to try again. And you can see the results there. And automatic

:06:10.:06:16.

qualifier for Robbie Andrews. And the Spaniard failed and couldn't get

:06:17.:06:21.

there to Robbie Andrews. More news to come for this one.

:06:22.:06:28.

APPLAUSE. The women's 400 metre hurdle final is coming up later on

:06:29.:06:32.

this evening. The men had their go this morning. One of the finals of

:06:33.:06:36.

the morning session. We shall take a look. Away safely this time. Thomas

:06:37.:06:49.

will have Clement to chase. Just a metre or two down. The two Kenyans

:06:50.:06:59.

going well. Thomas tried to stay in contact with the American. Chopping

:07:00.:07:05.

down on to the hurdle. Thomas will finish quickly. Don't write him off.

:07:06.:07:13.

It is Clement leading it. White is there. Thomas is a long way off. He

:07:14.:07:20.

will come charging down. Clement is checking into the final hurdle. Here

:07:21.:07:27.

comes the Kenyan! It will be close. Thomas not quite there. Clement the

:07:28.:07:45.

gold. Turkey took the bronze. It was a wonderful race. Thomas, just

:07:46.:08:00.

missing out by five hundredths of a second on what would have been a

:08:01.:08:02.

wonderful medal. Another Irish record in stead. A Kenyan record

:08:03.:08:07.

after the World Championships last year. And Olympic silver-medallist

:08:08.:08:13.

now. But, what a return to the top of the podium, literally, for Kerron

:08:14.:08:20.

Clement. He burst onto the scene as a youngster 10- 11 years ago. We

:08:21.:08:26.

thought he would be brilliant then. He went to take on the hurdles. All

:08:27.:08:30.

sorts of issues in his life and career which you have seen him come

:08:31.:08:36.

back in fine form from. What a performance from him. And event

:08:37.:08:40.

which we were worried about all year being maybe a little bit average, if

:08:41.:08:45.

you like. It turned out to be a little bit of a classic in the end.

:08:46.:08:50.

Puerto Rico with a false start and not able to contest it. Ireland just

:08:51.:08:55.

missing out on a medal. But the USA is once more on top in the 400 metre

:08:56.:08:59.

hurdles in the shape of Kerron Clement. AMERICAN ANTHEM PLAYS.

:09:00.:10:14.

AMERICAN ANTHEM PLAYS. APPLAUSE. That is the first time

:10:15.:10:26.

since Sydney, 2000, that all the medallists have run under 48 seconds

:10:27.:10:29.

in the Olympic final. An excellent race. But what about Clement! .

:10:30.:10:36.

Two-time world champion. The Olympic world champion in 400 metre hurdles.

:10:37.:10:45.

Great from him. Ryan took the wind out of everyone's sales with that

:10:46.:10:52.

world leading putt. 22 in the second round. Round three now. A big shout

:10:53.:11:01.

again. It is enormous! It is over 22 metres at again for Crouser! And the

:11:02.:11:08.

young man is putting together a series of his life. He is closing

:11:09.:11:15.

in, possibly, on the Olympic record, 22, 40 seven. That was 1988. Ryan

:11:16.:11:25.

Crouser, holding all the aces at the moment. What can Covax do was won is

:11:26.:11:40.

the world leader until this. Shy of 22 metres. Covack is left wanting.

:11:41.:11:51.

Is the bigger man, Ryan, the youngster... Neither of them have

:11:52.:11:54.

been to the Olympics before. Both of them are thriving. An incredible

:11:55.:12:00.

competition. A two-horse race as we wait for this distance to be

:12:01.:12:09.

measured. Incredible. What a beast is Crouser! And his competitor is

:12:10.:12:20.

not exactly a small man either. A powerful contest. Let us have a look

:12:21.:12:26.

at Charlie Grice in the 450 metres. Talk us through his tactics. This is

:12:27.:12:31.

a totally different Charlie Grice that turned up today than we saw

:12:32.:12:35.

racing in the heats the other day. He looked very pale the other day.

:12:36.:12:42.

Now he looks better. A lot of pushing and shoving. This heat wound

:12:43.:12:48.

up really well. Charlie Grice did get lucky, as was pointed out, in

:12:49.:12:53.

the, when we were watching it, he was lucky. He followed like a chip

:12:54.:12:58.

through. Because I can ship was moving quickly he got away through.

:12:59.:13:04.

-- Blankenship. He didn't panic. He could sense in coming up. He was

:13:05.:13:11.

lucky as Blankenship moved slightly wide. But Charlie Grice had the

:13:12.:13:18.

reaction he did not have the get himself up into third at one point

:13:19.:13:20.

and hold on for the qualifying position in fifth. At that point, he

:13:21.:13:26.

would not have been certain that the fastest loser would come through. I

:13:27.:13:30.

think the two fastest losers did come from that heat earlier on. He

:13:31.:13:38.

had to keep running very hard. Right through that. Even he wasn't sure.

:13:39.:13:47.

He was looking up at the rerun to make sure he got the fifth placed.

:13:48.:13:53.

The Olympic medal was already in his pocket. Blankenship, and Michael in

:13:54.:14:04.

particular, believes that they should be taught not to open the

:14:05.:14:07.

door and let other runners through. That was quite a big invitee from

:14:08.:14:14.

Blankenship, wasn't it? It was. But with fatigue you veer out. He was

:14:15.:14:23.

focusing on his race. And Robbie Andrews Schumacher disqualified in

:14:24.:14:25.

the second semi-final for taking steps on the infield to get past. --

:14:26.:14:30.

who may get disqualified. That was a nice invite into fifth. Yesterday he

:14:31.:14:36.

got through on appeal. This may be his championship. The 800 metres

:14:37.:14:41.

coming up soon. The semifinals. With the sharp presenting Great Britain.

:14:42.:14:49.

-- Lizzie Sharp. I think the first semi-final is the hardest and

:14:50.:14:53.

neither are in that. On paper you will look at that and see it is a

:14:54.:15:00.

tough one. But I think it is doable for Lindsay. She is in a much better

:15:01.:15:06.

shape. She executes races better. She puts herself in a better

:15:07.:15:10.

position. Looking to do that today, fingers crossed. I know you have to

:15:11.:15:15.

join and drew in the comment to box. If anyone can get there in time it

:15:16.:15:20.

will be used up -- Andrew. You have permission to leave. They are taking

:15:21.:15:25.

position on the track. The first heat of the semifinals. The first

:15:26.:15:34.

semi-final with Margaret and of course Wilson in there as well. I am

:15:35.:15:41.

doing well on my pronunciation tonight, I tell you. And Dibaba.

:15:42.:15:49.

There is a man who can pronounce these names better and his name is

:15:50.:15:54.

Andrew Cotter. This is a tough semi-final. If there are two women

:15:55.:16:00.

who could push Semenya in the semi-final, it is Wambui and

:16:01.:16:11.

another. A note on the 1500 metres we saw with Robbie Andrews, the

:16:12.:16:15.

American, that result has gone official for now. It might still

:16:16.:16:20.

change. But even American colleagues thought he would be disqualified.

:16:21.:16:24.

Perhaps more to come on that. Heading to the shotput. It years

:16:25.:16:32.

Ryan Crouser in the fourth round. The top eight only to progress to

:16:33.:16:38.

the second half of the competition. Round four. It is bang on that

:16:39.:16:42.

pretty to me the line again. One of the best series of putts I have seen

:16:43.:16:54.

ever. Ryan Crouser, we didn't know how he was going to handle the

:16:55.:16:58.

pressure. The champion ahead of Kovacs earlier this summer. Earlier

:16:59.:17:04.

than that it has in all Kovacs. Here are the games, the big one, big

:17:05.:17:09.

prizes on offer. No improvement for Ryan Crouser. The men's 200 metre

:17:10.:17:18.

final is in about 1.5 hours. Usain Bolt is of course going in that one.

:17:19.:17:24.

But we are ready for the first semi-final of the women's 800

:17:25.:17:26.

metres. We mentioned the two great strengths of, umm, of Margaret and

:17:27.:17:44.

Samba and Poland and Ukraine. There is you gunners. Took almost two

:17:45.:17:52.

seconds of her personal best. -- Uganda. The 21-year-old. There is

:17:53.:18:00.

Wilson, second in the US trials. Kate goes ahead of her. Wilson is

:18:01.:18:14.

carrying American hopes. There is her. She took the title in March in

:18:15.:18:18.

Oregon which is where she is now based. Only beaten by Semenya this

:18:19.:18:25.

year. The new 1500 metre champion, a slow race in Amsterdam last month,

:18:26.:18:32.

it played into her hands. And the Ukraine. The 800 metre champion of

:18:33.:18:36.

Europe after winning in Amsterdam. A slight surprise.

:18:37.:18:57.

The Italian, clean in March to run for her new country. The

:18:58.:19:09.

20-year-old, last year junior champion. A great run, her personal

:19:10.:19:18.

best, two-minute head got her to the semi-final. Wonderful conditions

:19:19.:19:27.

inside the stadium. The first of the 800m semi-final or the women. Seu to

:19:28.:19:36.

go through automatically passed to fastest losers.

:19:37.:19:46.

A great power in the later stages, looking to see if it is brisk in the

:19:47.:20:15.

early stages. Instead it. Good pace. Really, one of the favourites. It is

:20:16.:20:41.

a tough, tough heat. Wambui perhaps just biding her time. Beginning to

:20:42.:21:05.

make up time. Does Wilson have a response? The European champion

:21:06.:21:13.

looking for a fast finish. Niyonsaba is leading them out. Wambui looking

:21:14.:21:22.

around. The two come away. Wambui is going to take the victory. Niyonsaba

:21:23.:21:30.

easing over the line. The two we highlighted other two that go

:21:31.:21:34.

through automatically. Wambui with her great strength takes her win.

:21:35.:21:41.

Niyonsaba, looked around, let her have it. Wambui and Niyonsaba

:21:42.:21:50.

through to the final. As easy as they like. Wilson in third place

:21:51.:22:04.

held that position. Had a little bit of competition, Nataliya Pryshchepa

:22:05.:22:06.

came through but she needed this to be a little bit quicker. Only two

:22:07.:22:13.

fastest losers from the three semifinals and the others could go

:22:14.:22:19.

quicker than that. She looked like she was easing and relaxing. The two

:22:20.:22:24.

in front could but she needed to go as fast as she could stop Niyonsaba

:22:25.:22:33.

has a lot more to give. She is pushing hard once her work is done,

:22:34.:22:39.

a little look to Wambui, no one else in her periphery. Happy with second

:22:40.:22:50.

place. Always aware of where the third-place athlete is. Wilson will

:22:51.:22:57.

have to wait and see. Confirmation of that... Those times were not

:22:58.:23:06.

quite quick enough. For women under two minutes but will that be quick

:23:07.:23:09.

enough? I am not sure. Tom Walsh in the shotput. Round

:23:10.:23:40.

five. World indoor champion from New Zealand. Well, he opened. ... The

:23:41.:23:59.

second round in fact was his best. Trying to work out how close that is

:24:00.:24:04.

to the 22 metre line full great slow motion replays. Ten centimetre board

:24:05.:24:12.

in front of that, you cannot touch it, the top of it at least. He goes

:24:13.:24:22.

into third place. Ryan Crouser, look at that series! The last round just

:24:23.:24:30.

shy of 22 metres. We are in a round five. Oh, it is his best so far.

:24:31.:24:38.

Ryan Crouser has unleashed a massive throw in this fifth round. He has

:24:39.:24:46.

had three throws already that put him in the lead and he has just

:24:47.:24:52.

extended it at might challenge the Olympic record. It is indeed! 22.5

:24:53.:25:06.

to. Five centimetres on the Olympic record.

:25:07.:25:13.

Write down on the other end of the arena, the shop put. It is the

:25:14.:25:24.

second semifinals of the aid 100 metres and the first of the two

:25:25.:25:35.

British athletes,. Shelayna Oskan-Clarke. Lupu will finish fast.

:25:36.:25:44.

Remember, last year at the World Championship she got quicker and

:25:45.:25:53.

quicker. The 19-year-old Ethiopian, a good talent, Alemu and unknown

:25:54.:26:01.

quantity. The Swiss has had some great indoor races. Talking of 1.57,

:26:02.:26:15.

Melissa Bishop did that recently. Did that in a fast running fashion.

:26:16.:26:25.

The former champion, Sum not in great shape... I say not in great

:26:26.:26:34.

shape I have very high standards. A new personal best to make it into

:26:35.:26:39.

the semi. And an athlete who is very dangerous in slower races, Jozwik.

:26:40.:26:49.

What I am saying is, do not make it slow.

:26:50.:26:58.

Melissa Bishop started a very, very quickly with real intent already.

:26:59.:27:06.

They will probably go through the first 200 reasonably quick. Bishop

:27:07.:27:23.

coming alongside Sum. Through 200 in about just under 28th. A little bit

:27:24.:27:31.

quick in the first heat and it is an advantage to know what time you need

:27:32.:27:35.

in order to have a chance of advancing as the fastest loser.

:27:36.:27:41.

Shelayna Oskan-Clarke we know can do this, we know that she can run

:27:42.:27:47.

quickly and she may be glad it was taken out at a pace. Bishop of the

:27:48.:27:54.

danger here. A little bit quicker than the first heat, 57 point 55.

:27:55.:28:01.

They are all there. One too I thought may have shied. Sum

:28:02.:28:09.

controlling it with the youngster from Ethiopian, Alemu. Bishop

:28:10.:28:17.

looking for a little bit of room. Alemu closer to the front than she

:28:18.:28:28.

often is. Look at where Lupu is full of Shelayna Oskan-Clarke, Alemu at

:28:29.:28:39.

the front. Oskan-Clarke coming again. Bishop of Canada coming fast.

:28:40.:28:51.

The fast finishing pollen, Jozwik. He/she comes, a big finish from

:28:52.:28:58.

Jozwik. Bishop second. A faster rate than the first so I think third and

:28:59.:29:06.

fourth might have a chance, sadly Shelayna Oskan-Clarke came in fifth.

:29:07.:29:21.

A season best for Jozwik. What happened around the top end must

:29:22.:29:27.

have cost Shelayna Oskan-Clarke valuable time. Jozwik has come in

:29:28.:29:34.

really established herself as someone moving through. You see the

:29:35.:29:44.

stumble. That was the earlier blocking. As they come round with

:29:45.:29:47.

200 metres to go, Shelayna Oskan-Clarke in that position. She

:29:48.:29:54.

moved wide to go around Acra three and she lost the momentum and a

:29:55.:29:59.

little bit of the fight because she struggled to come back. If she had

:30:00.:30:05.

not lost that an that that momentum she could have pulled through.

:30:06.:30:14.

Melissa Bishop has turned up the burden is a little bit. She knows

:30:15.:30:17.

that she qualified with is about Shelayna Oskan-Clarke needed to keep

:30:18.:30:22.

fighting because she lost out on the last few strides. That was linked

:30:23.:30:48.

moving through. -- Lindt. Buchel in the fastest loser position. A huge

:30:49.:30:59.

disappointment. Lindt ran her to personal best, doing what Shelayna

:31:00.:31:05.

Oskan-Clarke did last time. Back to this great shotput final, Steve. The

:31:06.:31:13.

only man who can stop Ryan Crouser, Joe Kovacs. He is currently in the

:31:14.:31:21.

silver medal spot. He is a guarantee that because of this is the

:31:22.:31:24.

penultimate throw of the competition. Now, if ever he had to

:31:25.:31:35.

dig deep, this is the time. Crouser with one throw after this. Joe

:31:36.:31:40.

Kovacs trying to get everything he can. Last chance. Big screen but,

:31:41.:31:49.

no, it is below 22 metres. He will have to settle for silver and Ryan

:31:50.:31:56.

Crouser is the Olympic champion. Well, he will have his last throw,

:31:57.:32:02.

Crouser. Looks as though he may even go further. Randy Barnes holding the

:32:03.:32:17.

world record, 1990. Crouser a new superstar of shop put is born.

:32:18.:32:24.

Coached by Matt Wilson, the discus champion from 19 76. Asking for the

:32:25.:32:31.

support of the crowd. Can he go further? 22.52, the Olympic record

:32:32.:32:43.

in his last throw. What has he got now? His last throw. Well, it is not

:32:44.:32:51.

quite his best. Another long throw that probably could have won the

:32:52.:32:57.

competition. Probably five of his six throws could have won. At 26 in

:32:58.:33:04.

years of age, his first major. Ryan Crouser. An Olympic record in around

:33:05.:33:16.

five stop -- round five. After a slow start for the Americans, in

:33:17.:33:20.

this track and field, it is getting better and better. Success in the

:33:21.:33:27.

track and success in the shotput. And we will head back to the women's

:33:28.:33:35.

aid 100 metres in the third semi-final..

:33:36.:33:42.

Sharp goes here. And we can just have a look at what Lynsey needs to

:33:43.:33:50.

do. She's not in the top two. Shelayna Oskan-Clarkenot through.

:33:51.:33:56.

Neither is the world champion Joanna Jozwik. And Melissa Bishop -

:33:57.:34:06.

1.59.35. So the start list for the last of the semifinals in the

:34:07.:34:12.

women's 800m and Caster Semenya goes here, Lynsey Sharp is in there.

:34:13.:34:16.

Maryna Arzamasava of Belarus, just inside Lynsey Sharp there. Two go

:34:17.:34:17.

through automatically. As Amela Terzic from Serbia. More

:34:18.:34:42.

often a 1,500m runner. So Caster Semenya - 23 races this reason, I

:34:43.:34:47.

was looking to see, but 22 wins from 23. She did lose a 400m race in

:34:48.:34:53.

March in Pretoria, but apart from that - untouchable. Not just in 800.

:34:54.:35:02.

She's a very good 400m runner as well, and a 1,500m runner as well.

:35:03.:35:11.

Yarigo on the outside. Maybe struggling to deliver with very

:35:12.:35:17.

best. And the Winny Chebet, the Kenyan. She also had some records.

:35:18.:35:21.

Hasn't necessarily lived up to that enormous talent. There's Grace

:35:22.:35:27.

graust Grace, winner of the trials. The best in the US, Grace went

:35:28.:35:32.

through as one of the fastest losers. Caster Semenya such

:35:33.:35:44.

attention upon her. We saw how she finished the Monaco Diamond League,

:35:45.:35:48.

you understand why people are thinking she could get close

:35:49.:35:54.

sometime soon. Lynsey Sharp believes she's in the shape of her life.

:35:55.:35:58.

Certainly looking strong win the heats largely from the front. But

:35:59.:36:02.

Maryna Arzamasava a considerable threat, a world champion after

:36:03.:36:05.

taking that title in Beijing last year. Ready. Amela Terzic, a 1,500m

:36:06.:36:17.

specialist, but showed that strength to finish very quickly in the first

:36:18.:36:22.

round to take second place behind Lynsey Sharp. And Wang Chunyu in

:36:23.:36:28.

Lane 1. The 21-year-old who went below 2 minutes for the first time

:36:29.:36:32.

in her career. A very special moment for an 800m runner. So Lynsey Sharp

:36:33.:36:40.

is realistic. She knows you almost have to take Caster Semenya out of

:36:41.:36:45.

the equation and go to the places behind. Two automatic places but

:36:46.:36:51.

perhaps one here for everyone else. And Lynsey Sharp almost up alongside

:36:52.:36:55.

her after the gun waits, but not a concern for Semenya, she can win any

:36:56.:36:58.

which way she pleases. Now does Lynsey Sharp run this? A third in

:36:59.:37:03.

the semifinals. Looking for the place The third of the semifinals,

:37:04.:37:07.

they know what time they're aiming for. Not likely we see Caster

:37:08.:37:13.

Semenya go on the front and take the pace early on. I'm glad to see

:37:14.:37:18.

Arzamasava move to the front. Quicker than the previous two heats.

:37:19.:37:21.

That's good for Lynsey Sharp. That means she can react as she would do

:37:22.:37:25.

in a Diamond League race pretty much and she's been racing well all year.

:37:26.:37:30.

She can just keep a good position, be ready to react, at some point

:37:31.:37:33.

Semenya will go and go hard. Probably won't be until the last

:37:34.:37:39.

200m. I think Maryna Arzamasava, the world champion, has decided the

:37:40.:37:42.

options to qualifying in this one and take it through in brisk pace.

:37:43.:37:47.

Exactly the same time and that was quick enough, that second semifinal,

:37:48.:37:52.

so Arzamasava ahead of Lynsey Sharp and Semenya, just bouncing along in

:37:53.:37:58.

fifth place at the home. A good run from Yarigo, and Grace is there, and

:37:59.:38:04.

Chebet beginning to drop off, so too Chunyu and Terzic. Do they have

:38:05.:38:08.

something in the latter stages? Arzamasava, Lynsey Sharp looking

:38:09.:38:11.

strong at the moment. Arzamasava just beginning to fatigue slightly.

:38:12.:38:16.

Semenya is there and Grace beginning to make a move and perhaps Noelie

:38:17.:38:20.

Yarigo has gone. Two automatic places. Arzamasava looking around

:38:21.:38:24.

rather nervously. Lynsey Sharp is there. Semenya just appearing on her

:38:25.:38:29.

shoulder. Kate Grace hanging in. Two places they all tend to go a bit

:38:30.:38:33.

wide there. And Semenya eases her way around and Grace spots the door

:38:34.:38:38.

open inside Arzamasava but does she have the speed? Lynsey Sharp

:38:39.:38:41.

shutting her eyes and driving hard now for the second automatic

:38:42.:38:47.

qualifying place. Semenya takes it. Sharp has qual qual -- qualification

:38:48.:38:50.

and Grace looking for a time. But Lynsey Sharp, no concern, she does

:38:51.:38:54.

look good. She's looking strong. She is through to the final. She's

:38:55.:38:58.

looking good. What I like about Sharp this year is she doesn't panic

:38:59.:39:02.

when she gets into the trouble in the closing stages of the races. She

:39:03.:39:06.

did get in a bit of trouble there. She was a little bit lucky that the

:39:07.:39:10.

gap opened up but also clever in the way she was patient and waited. She

:39:11.:39:14.

didn't panic, waited for it to open up and when she did she struck and

:39:15.:39:18.

struck fast to be able to come through and claim that spot. Let's

:39:19.:39:22.

have a look at it again. Just looking at the times for Kate Grace.

:39:23.:39:25.

Kate Grace is going to go through, Arzamasava is going to go through.

:39:26.:39:29.

They all did their job to ensuring they'll be the two fastest losers in

:39:30.:39:33.

this semifinal. That thanks for the pace to Arzamasava's pace. She had

:39:34.:39:37.

four away already with 200m away. Yarigo slipping off the backend. All

:39:38.:39:41.

they needed to do is keep running hard and they would qualify as

:39:42.:39:46.

fastest losers but to have calculated that within the race,

:39:47.:39:48.

Lynsey Sharp hadn't done that, and she wanted to qualify outright in

:39:49.:39:52.

the first two. She waited patiently until a space opened up. You said

:39:53.:39:56.

Arzamasava has moved slightly wide and Grace saw that, came through and

:39:57.:40:00.

finished strong and ran far better than she did in the heat. She didn't

:40:01.:40:05.

look good at all in the meets, but here she looked good and came

:40:06.:40:11.

through. She seized that third place. And she came through to grab

:40:12.:40:17.

that third place which could have been significant but Caster Semenya

:40:18.:40:21.

very easy there. Just glance up on the screen, you can see the

:40:22.:40:23.

difference. Lynsey Sharp is working hard. She is looking slightly up at

:40:24.:40:28.

the screen to check, she's working hard right through to the line.

:40:29.:40:33.

Caster Semenya cruising those last few metres there. Semenya is a

:40:34.:40:38.

strong favour. Wambui is strong. But the chance of getting into the

:40:39.:40:41.

final, you may never know what will happen. Lynsey Sharp is through. She

:40:42.:40:45.

was a semifinalist in London four years ago. She is a finalist. Now

:40:46.:40:51.

she goes through with Caster Semenya, Kate Grace and Maryna

:40:52.:40:54.

Arzamasava also going through as the two fastest losers. And again, you

:40:55.:40:57.

can see what it means, she knows she's into the final, which is on

:40:58.:41:01.

Saturday and she's talking to Phil now.

:41:02.:41:03.

Just said to Lynsey, that result makes good reading. Olympic

:41:04.:41:07.

finalist. Must be a mixture of emotions right now, excitement, joy,

:41:08.:41:11.

a bit of relief as well, I suppose. Yeah, I mean, I have just been so

:41:12.:41:17.

looking forward to getting in that Q next to my name, specially after

:41:18.:41:20.

last year, I wanted to get this right. I know I can complete well in

:41:21.:41:24.

the final, but it's all getting there. I'm so happy doing that. What

:41:25.:41:29.

did you go in with tactically and what kind of plan? I didn't go in as

:41:30.:41:34.

I planned, I got into positions I didn't plan on. The main thing is to

:41:35.:41:40.

stay patient and gaps opened. It all paid off. Now you mere in the final

:41:41.:41:46.

-- you're in the final. We saw in the Diamond League time and time

:41:47.:41:50.

again, you must fancy your chances. I live for the stuff. This is really

:41:51.:41:56.

where it starts. I was expecting to make the finals. So now it's about

:41:57.:41:59.

getting some rest and really competing with the top girls. Thanks

:42:00.:42:04.

for talking to us and well done for reaching the final. Can I say just

:42:05.:42:11.

hi to my granddaughter? Thank you. Ryan Crouser, a colossal throw,

:42:12.:42:16.

celebrating a new Olympic record and a gold medal in the men's shot put

:42:17.:42:28.

final. 28 years ago... That record 28-year-old, Ryan Crouser has

:42:29.:42:34.

broken. Joe Kovacs settled frl silver, and Tomas Walsh taking

:42:35.:42:38.

bronze. Another great field event final this

:42:39.:42:43.

evening, the women's javelin, the South African. Twice Commonwealth

:42:44.:42:51.

Games champion in the past, 33 years of age now, snaking down the runway.

:42:52.:42:59.

Lined this up, I think. On 65m metres. She's pleased with that.

:43:00.:43:07.

Lifetime best of 69. I don't know why you would do that - sideways.

:43:08.:43:13.

And then the javelin pops off right. Maybe more to come. Making it more

:43:14.:43:20.

efficient. Got her own style and technique. She's powerful. This

:43:21.:43:30.

throw will take the lead. It's 64.92.

:43:31.:43:53.

That final is about just under 20 minutes away. You'll see it here

:43:54.:44:01.

live on BBC One. And next on the track, though, actually next on the

:44:02.:44:06.

track is the decathlon 1,500m. When we do leave you, we'll see that on

:44:07.:44:13.

the red button. But let's talking about the hurdles. Doyle has

:44:14.:44:19.

undergone some real changes, she's married, moved her base as well and

:44:20.:44:24.

it's clear they're in fruit, these changes. Doyle leads into the

:44:25.:44:31.

straight. This is a fabulous performance from the Scot so far. I

:44:32.:44:35.

don't think about me, I think about going out performing. It's nice

:44:36.:44:39.

people are talking about me because obviously shows I'm running well and

:44:40.:44:43.

doing OK, but I just try to think about trying to execute the right

:44:44.:44:47.

race and with that comes fast times with that comes good positions. For

:44:48.:44:52.

me it's focusing on performing and running a good race. We made changes

:44:53.:44:57.

this year around that top bend, we felt the last couple of years I have

:44:58.:45:02.

been good for the first 200, but it's that 2 and 3 that I lost

:45:03.:45:05.

positions. I changed the pattern slightly because of that. If I get

:45:06.:45:13.

that right, I can get that me up with the top girls this year. The

:45:14.:45:20.

confidence is the big difference, you know. Going into it - I look

:45:21.:45:25.

back on the way I felt in London, I feel a totally different athlete. To

:45:26.:45:29.

me it was about making the team and going to the Olympics. But this is

:45:30.:45:33.

about - I made the team but I want to go there and do something when

:45:34.:45:37.

I'm there. I want to make sure I run well. I'm a totally different

:45:38.:45:44.

athlete than I was four years ago, and confidence is high. It's been

:45:45.:45:49.

really pleasing to see the progress in that four-year cycle, when you

:45:50.:45:52.

can tangibly somebody improving in terms of getting into finals and

:45:53.:45:55.

moving up and the time coming down. There's been a lot of hard work

:45:56.:45:59.

that's gone on behind-the-scenes in terms of get a stride pattern right

:46:00.:46:02.

and she's getting there, she's got the speed there, but the technical

:46:03.:46:05.

part of her game is definitely improved. Yes, the technical part

:46:06.:46:09.

has certainly improved, and also she's done both her and the coach,

:46:10.:46:13.

is really meticulous plan how they're going to, first of all,

:46:14.:46:17.

increase the speed and then of course, match that with good, good,

:46:18.:46:22.

good tech Nike and -- teek neek and that's always -- technique and

:46:23.:46:24.

that's going to make all the difference, earn specially in the

:46:25.:46:30.

400m hurdles when you have that bit of fatigue. You got some clips for

:46:31.:46:34.

us to look at. Slm. So let's see what we put up here. Here is Doyle

:46:35.:46:38.

here. She was always worried about this stripe pattern. Always kind of

:46:39.:46:43.

been pushing her to try to get the correct pattern. First of all, what

:46:44.:46:46.

she said she was working on was that stripe pattern from one hurdle to

:46:47.:46:50.

hurdle 5, that always had to be a 50 strides in between that. Now, I know

:46:51.:46:55.

people may be thinking - why do you continue sprinting, why can't you

:46:56.:46:58.

come on any foot and just jump? But it's really important to come off

:46:59.:47:02.

the hurdles in the right position because when you are tired, you need

:47:03.:47:07.

to drive. So here she's still on that 15 stride pattern, changes down

:47:08.:47:11.

to that one there - that's her 16. She needs to take this again, the 16

:47:12.:47:15.

which will be a left leg, but remember in the heat, she messed it

:47:16.:47:19.

up a little bit and because she didn't drive on to the barrows just

:47:20.:47:23.

to chill, just to relax and try to save energy, then she was a bit out

:47:24.:47:28.

of sorts. Here once again, we saw this all season, she throws in an

:47:29.:47:31.

extra stride here, she gets on her good leg, so she can run off boldly

:47:32.:47:36.

and strongly. It worked in this particular time, because it's a

:47:37.:47:39.

heat, it's a qualifying round. But, of course, when the real deal

:47:40.:47:43.

happens, which is now, she's in the final, she's in lane 1, she cannot

:47:44.:47:48.

afford to run like that or make any tiny mistakes like this. Would you

:47:49.:47:53.

say looking at the fields that's there and beside it is time that

:47:54.:47:58.

Delilah has posted this season, that is quite an open final. No. No, OK.

:47:59.:48:04.

Mohammad is clearly... Besides her, behind her. Now Hayne has come back.

:48:05.:48:13.

Pretty much in the last few weeks. Ignore that what she ran, 54.3, is

:48:14.:48:18.

the season's best, she's hiding behind that. So what she's got to do

:48:19.:48:24.

is just run her normal race. She's in the 53s quite quickly. And fail

:48:25.:48:27.

that, it's got to be Ashley. She's the one you got to watch out for,

:48:28.:48:33.

she's got speed but I always cringe slightly when she takes over every

:48:34.:48:37.

single hurdle. I only takes a clip when you have a bit of fatigue to

:48:38.:48:41.

send you all over the place. So that is the big issue there. Doyle, she's

:48:42.:48:45.

in lane one, she's going to see everybody, going to be very

:48:46.:48:49.

difficult for her to put everything into play, but we know she's won

:48:50.:48:54.

some of the big races in the Diamond League. She's capable of going under

:48:55.:48:58.

43 seconds and if anybody of the big three there make a mistake, and

:48:59.:49:03.

Doyle is in the right position going into that final barrier, she can

:49:04.:49:07.

sneak a bronze. Big call. We have been calling it all year but she has

:49:08.:49:11.

the potential to sneak that bronze medal. Is she at a disadvantage of

:49:12.:49:15.

being in lane one? Yes, yes. It's not easy. No. It's been done before.

:49:16.:49:22.

For numerous... What is the disadvantage, is it different

:49:23.:49:24.

different with hurdles that makes lane one a disadvantage? All right.

:49:25.:49:30.

OK. Very good question. Now, what happens with hurdles because they

:49:31.:49:33.

they disappear over the track in a different wear, when she's in lane

:49:34.:49:37.

one, she may end up three hurdles on the bend, when you're further out,

:49:38.:49:40.

the hurdles are out on the straight, and that can I affect the stride

:49:41.:49:45.

pattern, that's why it's a little bit more of a challenge for you.

:49:46.:49:55.

Athletes do not tend to train in lane one. You never know where you

:49:56.:50:07.

get it. But they hope for perfection. It feels like a good

:50:08.:50:16.

time to take a trip down memory lane when Great Britain was pretty

:50:17.:50:25.

dominant in these events. COMMENTATOR: Hemmings very solid.

:50:26.:50:30.

The world champion on the outside. Approaching the halfway stage. Sadly

:50:31.:50:58.

beginning to close. Under pressure. Three to go.

:50:59.:51:08.

And she gets it right! She get the gold! Janine Vickers is sad. Outside

:51:09.:51:23.

the Olympic record. She will not mind a little bit about that. I tell

:51:24.:51:32.

you a secret, I was there and I was 19 years old and I had six tickets

:51:33.:51:37.

for the dream team but it was not the man the women and I swapped them

:51:38.:51:43.

for that because the guy who got the tickets thought he was getting the

:51:44.:51:54.

American men's team. I thought the women were dream. If you are

:51:55.:52:01.

watching, I am sorry. What a fantastic... Well, it was a

:52:02.:52:06.

fantastic Olympic Games for Great Britain. The 100 metres and a

:52:07.:52:14.

certain hurdler and he absolutely fell apart. LAUGHTER lets have a

:52:15.:52:22.

listen to Shelayna Oskan-Clarke. Unfortunately she did not make it

:52:23.:52:28.

through. You always give it your all. Did you get clipped? I got

:52:29.:52:34.

tripped up over there and lost a bit of momentum, really marked... In the

:52:35.:52:42.

end, it is my responsibility to get myself in that position. I probably

:52:43.:52:45.

should have been a bit more patient because it was a little bit scrappy

:52:46.:52:51.

but I tried my best. If I would have got ahead of that person would have

:52:52.:52:54.

been fighting or a spot but I didn't. Frustration in that, I note.

:52:55.:53:02.

But what about the things you've learnt at the World Championship and

:53:03.:53:08.

another big step up being in the Olympics? Everyone has stepped up

:53:09.:53:14.

their game. A descent to go away and train harder and come back and tried

:53:15.:53:20.

to put myself in the best position when I am racing. I am in great

:53:21.:53:26.

shape but it is tough when you are doing the rounds. Thank you and we

:53:27.:53:31.

appreciate you stopping to talk to us. STUDIO: The women's javelin is

:53:32.:53:38.

taking place tonight Steve, how is it going? We are into the third

:53:39.:53:54.

round and now. This is the European champion Tatsian Khaladovich. She is

:53:55.:54:08.

just behind Sunette Viljoen. Very similar to the throw of Sunette

:54:09.:54:14.

Viljoen but no one really setting the world alight in this women's

:54:15.:54:24.

final at the halfway stage. We are looking at 64 metres leading. That

:54:25.:54:31.

throw 64 .60 four Tatsian Khaladovich so she goes into second

:54:32.:54:37.

place behind Sunette Viljoen. Let's have a look back at Tatsian

:54:38.:54:43.

Khaladovich, twice Olympic champion. She can make history here by taking

:54:44.:54:50.

a third if she gets it right. That is her best so far. That was the

:54:51.:54:59.

second round throw. As we stand at the end of round three, she is

:55:00.:55:32.

enforced place. She needs more. Sara Kolak, round three. Oh, throws

:55:33.:55:43.

around early 60 metres. Surprisingly. We have seen at least

:55:44.:55:53.

throw beyond 70 metres. The world record holder over 72 metres. 63 on

:55:54.:56:08.

the nose, the best so far. STUDIO: Usain Bolt out on the warmup track.

:56:09.:56:17.

He will be in the stadium just before 10:30pm. He seemed to be

:56:18.:56:23.

fairly reacts, it is fair to say that not LAUGHTER I digging the

:56:24.:56:31.

skills. I wonder what he is listening to. He has such an

:56:32.:56:41.

eclectic mix of music. And he dances in the same way to everything. It

:56:42.:56:47.

could be the equivalent to a foxtrot. You know it. Just over 36

:56:48.:56:59.

minutes away. We also have Elidh Doyle in the 400 hurdles. What we go

:57:00.:57:08.

to the tae kwon do to see if Jade Jones can defend her title.

:57:09.:57:14.

Hopefully we will be back for the 400 hurdles. The athletics will

:57:15.:57:21.

continue on the Red Button. You will not miss a thing. Right now, we hand

:57:22.:57:27.

over to you to what hopefully will be another gold for Jade Jones. 23

:57:28.:57:40.

years old, North Wales, she is a massive star in Wales and she could

:57:41.:57:47.

be a massive star Team GB and for the rest of the world if she can

:57:48.:57:49.

defend her title. COMMENTATOR: Lovely knock, Jade

:57:50.:58:03.

Jones is going through. Good defence from Jade Jones. An excellent win.

:58:04.:58:11.

Jade Jones will make it into the semifinals. Can she defend her

:58:12.:58:23.

title? She has a chance. She is in the final.

:58:24.:58:26.

A nation is holding its breath. This is where she is fighting. So far no

:58:27.:58:38.

problems in the defence of her title. She is the favourite but her

:58:39.:58:47.

opponents is the number two seed. Nick, there should be one real tide

:58:48.:58:54.

Comtesse? Yes there should be a really phenomenal. We wanted to see

:58:55.:59:00.

the number one against the number two. They have such a rivalry. Jade

:59:01.:59:09.

has the advantage, winning the two most recent battles. 14- fall the

:59:10.:59:18.

last result. This is the one the crowd is waiting for. When you are

:59:19.:59:24.

the reigning Olympic champion, that must count for so much? Absolutely.

:59:25.:59:30.

There is a lot of pressure once you become the Olympic champion and that

:59:31.:59:34.

is something Jade Jones has had to deal with. It was the first-ever

:59:35.:59:40.

Olympic title in tae kwon do for Great Britain. It has taken a while

:59:41.:59:46.

for her to adapt to be Olympic champion. The pressure where every

:59:47.:59:52.

opponent raises her game to try and beat her and knock her rock her

:59:53.:59:59.

pedestal. -- knock her off her pedestal. The World Championship

:00:00.:00:09.

title would mean nothing if she could defend her Olympic gold medal.

:00:10.:00:15.

She is so down to earth, softly spoken but in these next couple of

:00:16.:00:21.

minutes she turned into an unbelievable Welsh warrior. She will

:00:22.:00:28.

not talk to the media, she will shut down into the little bubble she is

:00:29.:00:36.

in. She is super focus. Yet, when she is relaxed, she is just a normal

:00:37.:00:43.

young woman out as soon as she is out there on the night, she is super

:00:44.:00:47.

focused and she wants to win every single time. And that is what you

:00:48.:00:58.

will see. Eva Calvo Gomez is a formidable fighter as well?

:00:59.:01:06.

Absolutely Manbij sorry, it is a very loud at the moment as other

:01:07.:01:15.

medals are being contested. -- absolutely... Sorry. It took a long

:01:16.:01:24.

time for her to try and overcome her style and Eva Calvo Gomez is a

:01:25.:01:27.

taller fighter with longer legs which makes it difficult to score

:01:28.:01:34.

against the scoring system has changed the past six months and I

:01:35.:01:39.

think it favours Jade Jones. Shipping get closer to her opponent

:01:40.:01:44.

and it is easier for her to school. Eva Calvo Gomez has not quite

:01:45.:01:49.

adapted to that but it will be fascinating. Coming out in the final

:01:50.:01:56.

is obviously very different fool 's the defeat she suffered, she will

:01:57.:02:00.

remember, against Jade Jones. In front of this amazing crowd, I think

:02:01.:02:05.

it is jade that can do it once again. Thank you very much indeed,

:02:06.:02:12.

Nick. Jade Jones taking on Eva Calvo Gomez, coming up shortly. If you

:02:13.:02:20.

need a guide to tae kwon do this is only a Mackenzy.

:02:21.:02:34.

fully-fledged Olympic sport in Sydney in 2000. Each contest has

:02:35.:02:39.

three rounds of two minutes, and a competitor can win on points or if

:02:40.:02:41.

their opponent is unable to continue. Points are awarded for

:02:42.:02:46.

permitted, accurate and powerful blows to the opponent's head or

:02:47.:02:50.

body. Attacks to the body made using a fist or foot, but an athlete can

:02:51.:02:54.

only use their feet to strike the area above the collarbone. Punches

:02:55.:02:58.

to the head and attacks to the spine are not allowed. The only techniques

:02:59.:03:02.

permitted are kicks where the athlete uses the area of the foot

:03:03.:03:06.

below the ankle and punches where the athlete uses the knuckle part of

:03:07.:03:10.

a Kightly-clenched fist. Scoring differs depending where or how an

:03:11.:03:14.

athlete has attacked. One point is awarded for a valid attack to the

:03:15.:03:18.

body protector but if the attack is a turning or reverse kick to the

:03:19.:03:22.

body, it's worth three points. An athlete will receive three points

:03:23.:03:25.

for a legal kick to the head. And if this is a turning kick, it achieve

:03:26.:03:29.

it is maximum - four points. At the end of the three rounds, a

:03:30.:03:34.

competitor with the most points wins the match, but in the event of a

:03:35.:03:40.

tie, a golden point round is held, where the first competitor to score

:03:41.:03:42.

a point wins. All you need to know about Taekwondo

:03:43.:03:47.

as we head into the gold medal contest, let's go back to the

:03:48.:03:53.

Carioca arena, Nick, there's a slight delay in the gold medal

:03:54.:03:58.

contest. Yes, what happens obviously in Taekwondo is there can be some

:03:59.:04:01.

contentious decisions so you get a lot of fighter are able to appeal

:04:02.:04:05.

against a decision and the referees - the officials don't always able to

:04:06.:04:09.

make the decision straightaway, that can take quite a while. Equally as

:04:10.:04:12.

you can hear from the crowd here, sometimes not very easy for them to

:04:13.:04:16.

hear what the appeal is is always for. A lot of different

:04:17.:04:19.

nationalities involved in the appeals processes. Sometimes take a

:04:20.:04:23.

bit of a transation. Basically why we get the delays. OK. And Jade is

:04:24.:04:29.

up next. That's the end of that bout. We got Jade Jones coming up

:04:30.:04:34.

shortly for you. If you just set up your alarm and woken up, Jade Jones

:04:35.:04:38.

will be out very, very shortly for her gold medal contest. What about

:04:39.:04:41.

the atmosphere there, Nick? Lots of fans there. Hopefully you can hear

:04:42.:04:45.

me - it's absolutely incredible in here. We're wondering what it was

:04:46.:04:48.

going to be like today because one of the Brazilian competitors who was

:04:49.:04:51.

expected to do quite well got knocked out in the early round.

:04:52.:04:55.

That's why there's a big crowd today, maybe. They got behind every

:04:56.:04:59.

single fighter who has stepped out on to the mat today. Absolutely

:05:00.:05:02.

incredible. Thousands and thousands of kids actually today which is

:05:03.:05:05.

brilliant to see. They're incredibly excited getting to see - staying up

:05:06.:05:10.

late at night and getting to see the fantastic fighting action that we

:05:11.:05:13.

have seen already. We have been seeing over the last half an hour or

:05:14.:05:18.

so are the bronze medal bouts, that's all

:05:19.:05:25.

Obviously they're getting very excited now. The music is picking up

:05:26.:05:30.

and they're getting readir for the gold medal bout.

:05:31.:05:34.

And Nick, we all remember where we were, I certainly do anyway, when

:05:35.:05:39.

Jade Jones won the gold medal at London 2012. What about Britain's

:05:40.:05:53.

support, they were in support for the Brownlees and others, have they

:05:54.:05:56.

been to the Carioca. You can see a pocket of them in the back. A lot of

:05:57.:06:02.

Korean flags, they celebrate their athlete's success in the last of the

:06:03.:06:07.

bronze medal marches but a great pocket of GB supporters and general

:06:08.:06:11.

Taekwondo fans who are here to support all the other athletes. Four

:06:12.:06:14.

competitors over the next few days. It will be fantastic. Obviously

:06:15.:06:19.

Taekwondo got such a profile boost from Jade's success in London 2012

:06:20.:06:23.

and that bronze medal for Muhammad, they want to push that for wand and

:06:24.:06:27.

show it's one of the few sports. Jade has done so much and it would

:06:28.:06:31.

really help continue that sports growth if she can go and get success

:06:32.:06:37.

again. Also they won another golden post box in Flint, I know that. One

:06:38.:06:41.

final question on Jade - I remember talking to her after London 2012 and

:06:42.:06:44.

shed said she doesn't want to become a flash in the pan. She wants to

:06:45.:06:48.

continue. This would be such an amazing thing. Not just for

:06:49.:06:52.

Taekwondo, but for Jade herself to be a double Olympic champion. It

:06:53.:06:55.

will be absolutely huge. Only two women who have done that before in

:06:56.:07:01.

the history of Taekwondo, been able to defend an Olympic Taekwondo game.

:07:02.:07:05.

That's just shows you how difficult it is. You know, once you become an

:07:06.:07:08.

Olympic champion, everybody is looking at you, everybody is wanting

:07:09.:07:13.

to take you down a notch and to be able to cope with that is so

:07:14.:07:16.

incredibly difficult. She's been on this incredible journey over the

:07:17.:07:20.

last #230ur years where she has to learn new styles, techniques,

:07:21.:07:23.

tactics, and new ways of coping with that pressure. It's great to see,

:07:24.:07:28.

though, over the last 18 months she has learnt to adapt and handle of

:07:29.:07:31.

that pressure. As you have seen through round after round today. She

:07:32.:07:35.

knows how to conserve her energy. And perform when it really matters.

:07:36.:07:39.

Hopefully she's saved it all for the very best. We can see she's coming

:07:40.:07:43.

out now and this is the fight from the last four years that means the

:07:44.:07:48.

most. As soon as she finished in London 2012, she was already

:07:49.:07:51.

thinking about trying to defend it and make history yet again in Rio,

:07:52.:07:56.

this is what it's all about. Nick, you have certainly whet our

:07:57.:08:01.

appetite. Here we go, can Jade Jones make it Olympic gold number two? We

:08:02.:08:05.

have everything crossed here in the studio in Copacabana. Let's join our

:08:06.:08:11.

commentators - Neil Adams and John Collins.

:08:12.:08:25.

Back for more this time - Jade Jones and this one promises to be a

:08:26.:08:32.

classic. Absolutely. It can't wait for this one. It's going to be a

:08:33.:08:37.

cracker, it really is. Defending her Olympic title, of course - Jade

:08:38.:08:41.

Jones of Great Britain. But like you say, Eva Calvo Gomez, who won that -

:08:42.:08:45.

well, will want to say something about that. So it should be a great

:08:46.:08:53.

match-up between these two. And great to see that such opposition

:08:54.:08:59.

that, you know, all of a sudden Eva Calvo Gomez came up and took over

:09:00.:09:03.

from Jones. But Jones is back. She's straight into the ring here. This

:09:04.:09:15.

one - the gold medal contest. The highly experienced referee. It's

:09:16.:09:20.

time to decide the destination of the Olympic gold. Eva Calvo Gomez in

:09:21.:09:26.

red, the taller of the two. Great Britain's Jade Jones wants to keep

:09:27.:09:32.

the right foot in front. Shifts off to the side. Atmosphere electric

:09:33.:09:39.

here at the Carioca Arena - downtown Brazil. Who can find the uptown

:09:40.:09:44.

quality to get the shot on the board. Steady start from both. The

:09:45.:09:48.

range finder for Eva Calvo Gomez. Good push, kick power from the

:09:49.:09:55.

Spanish fighter. Just trying to find her range at the moment - Jones. We

:09:56.:10:01.

have seen it a lot with Jade Jones - just takes the time, fields the

:10:02.:10:05.

distance, gets the distance right and then starts to pick up the

:10:06.:10:06.

points. Picking up the pace here. Jade

:10:07.:10:17.

Jones, the fighter from Flint. She's trying to find a little space for

:10:18.:10:22.

her feet. Not quite working out yet. Good cover there. So important to

:10:23.:10:29.

defend. This one really ebbing and flowing back and forth. I think

:10:30.:10:39.

she's going to make sure she keeps maintaining that distance and then

:10:40.:10:43.

come in when it's the right moment. Jade Jones - but, of course Eva

:10:44.:10:48.

Calvo Gomez is going to try to use her range. Try to come in with a

:10:49.:10:56.

hook kick there - Jones in blue. Gomez just leaning back. She finds

:10:57.:11:01.

the door. She sneaks in and taking the head shot and plants another!

:11:02.:11:09.

6-0. That is amazing. What an amazing combination there. I think

:11:10.:11:16.

we're going to see a protest here. The coach saying that he wants one

:11:17.:11:26.

of the head kicks invalidated. He's going to have to ask for one of the

:11:27.:11:30.

kicks to be taken away. The contentious here is that the first

:11:31.:11:34.

head shot from Jones was a clean kick. They go into the clinch, the

:11:35.:11:45.

coach is saying that it was holding the Spanish fighter and the head

:11:46.:11:48.

shot was over the shoulder. That's what the coach is saying. Let's go.

:11:49.:11:53.

Let's go indeed. Let's have a look and a little listen. The card has

:11:54.:12:01.

been pocketed. Unsuccessfully video replay. The six points are in play.

:12:02.:12:09.

The replay wasn't necessary. The coach got his instructions wrong.

:12:10.:12:15.

Card instantly pocketed and with 20 seconds to go, Jade Jones tries for

:12:16.:12:21.

another head shot. She's starting to pick up the points here and just

:12:22.:12:26.

eight seconds left of this first round. Excellent start for Jade

:12:27.:12:32.

Jones. She will go back to her corner.

:12:33.:12:38.

(SIREN SOUNDS) A little cushion, it won't be a

:12:39.:12:42.

cushion she can rest on, but it will certainly help.

:12:43.:12:50.

A little bit of coach and athlete consternation there, some confusion,

:12:51.:12:58.

but Jones the six points. Jones absolutely superb with that. What a

:12:59.:13:03.

combination that was. Two head shots and two lots of three points there.

:13:04.:13:09.

So six points, but like you say, she knows that she can't just come and

:13:10.:13:15.

expect to go two more rounds with just six points. She's going to try

:13:16.:13:17.

to add to that, of course. (SIREN SOUNDS)

:13:18.:13:30.

The British coach advising Jade Jones to use the cut kick. She cuts

:13:31.:13:36.

a strong figure here against Eva Calvo Gomez. Six points to Jones.

:13:37.:13:44.

There's that kick to the body. Jade Jones in blue, Eva Calvo Gomez in

:13:45.:13:48.

red, but who's going to get back into this? The Spanish finds two

:13:49.:13:53.

kicks. Four points behind new. Little bit of a comeback. A chip and

:13:54.:13:58.

charge as Jones tries to charge upstairs as well. This, is real

:13:59.:14:03.

tussle affair. That's incredible. But like you say - Gomez, same

:14:04.:14:08.

technique, caught her with the same technique, but got to be careful as

:14:09.:14:11.

she comes in because Jones can change it. Another point picked up

:14:12.:14:13.

by Jones. Enormous tension and rivalry between

:14:14.:14:28.

these two. Will it be repeat or will it be revenge? Jones hoping for her

:14:29.:14:35.

second Olympic title. She won it at the home crowd in London, she's on

:14:36.:14:40.

the road, here in Rio. She's on the road with a five point gap look

:14:41.:14:44.

scoring with that head shot, and again great defence from Gomez.

:14:45.:14:48.

She's still in this, and an excellent push point from the

:14:49.:14:53.

Spanish fighter. Yes, she's just got to keep her head, keep her composure

:14:54.:14:59.

- Jade Jones. There's the head shot that puts Gomez back into this one.

:15:00.:15:04.

The Spanish fighter not giving up without a fight. And Gomez, in terms

:15:05.:15:09.

of head-to-heads, she's 6-3 ahead in matches. She's 7-6 behind on the

:15:10.:15:16.

scoreboard though. Jones trying one of her own. This is a classic. It is

:15:17.:15:22.

absolute classic, and she's going to see what she scored with earlier, go

:15:23.:15:28.

back to that because - look at that. Quick change of direction there. The

:15:29.:15:35.

direction of the scores has changed quickly as well. Jones with that

:15:36.:15:39.

great physicality, Eva Calvo Gomez, a very strong fighter in her own

:15:40.:15:46.

right and she's put herself back in context here. This is Olympic

:15:47.:15:51.

Taekwondo at the very best. Both women reeling and rocking here.

:15:52.:15:55.

Jones retreats. She was in the lead, and Eva Calvo Gomez has clawed it

:15:56.:15:57.

back. The coaching instruction is quite

:15:58.:16:08.

clear there - forget that round, give me your best two minutes but it

:16:09.:16:12.

was the best two minutes from Gomez here. Yes, I think absolutely right

:16:13.:16:19.

- it was fantastic for Gomez, Gomez absolutely came forward, didn't she?

:16:20.:16:23.

And she was determined to pull that deficit back and she did.

:16:24.:16:29.

What a battle we have got here. It is, coming into this last round now,

:16:30.:16:36.

it's anybody's match this. All depends now on who wants it most and

:16:37.:16:41.

a little bit of change of tactics from either fighter. I think Eva

:16:42.:16:44.

Calvo Gomez did change her tactics and that's why she got those points.

:16:45.:16:54.

Big moments here in Brazil. The women's under 57kg gold medal

:16:55.:16:59.

contest. Eva Calvo Gomez of Spain in red. Jade Jones, her opponent - you

:17:00.:17:04.

can guess what colour she's in. But colour will they'll be carrying at

:17:05.:17:08.

the end? This battle for gold or silver. Jones picks off a little

:17:09.:17:14.

flick kick to the body. 8-6 now. Cancelled out by Gomez. Ebbing and

:17:15.:17:20.

flowing here. 8-7, a one-point game. What a match! Wow! It is! It is a

:17:21.:17:27.

fantastic match. Great stuff here. Eva Calvo Gomez absolutely taking

:17:28.:17:31.

the fight to Jones. Jones has to fight back but it's an open match,

:17:32.:17:35.

an open final and that's why it's so close. So much tension. Jones for a

:17:36.:17:48.

head shot. She takes it an absolute picture-perfect shot there. Dropped

:17:49.:17:54.

the drop kick over the shoulder and an electronic sensor... But there's

:17:55.:17:57.

one more for Gomez. A five point match. Jones goes for the head

:17:58.:18:02.

again, she scores. She's doing so well here - Gomez. She has to find a

:18:03.:18:09.

way to... The Spanish fighter, this a real battle. It's fantastic stuff.

:18:10.:18:15.

Gomez going for the big points, of course. And Jones just keeping her

:18:16.:18:21.

composure. Under pressure, but the Olympic champion here defending her

:18:22.:18:26.

Olympic title and - wow - is she doing that well! Look at the points

:18:27.:18:35.

- 15-7. The time for Gomez to do something - has it gone? As we go

:18:36.:18:44.

into the last 20 seconds. Jade Jones there asks for a replay card. They

:18:45.:18:47.

do. Could it get more dramatic? Let's have a listen.

:18:48.:18:53.

There you go, the face kick is the request, how important this could

:18:54.:19:01.

be? Yeah, I think so. For me, I saw the head go back, but good call.

:19:02.:19:08.

Let's look at it, Jones pushing forward with her first phase. Does

:19:09.:19:11.

she get it to the face? She does not. The video replay unsuccessful.

:19:12.:19:20.

The storeboard the same. 15 points. Gomez on the back foot. Can she do

:19:21.:19:24.

it one more time? The Olympic champion! She strikes gold again!

:19:25.:19:33.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Double Olympic champion to the

:19:34.:19:40.

delight of the British fans and the Brazilian crowd. She takes Paul

:19:41.:19:45.

Green on to the mat. She said because of him, she found a love for

:19:46.:19:56.

the sport again. Paul Green never one to take the applauds, but it was

:19:57.:20:03.

his charge, the Welsh Wonder, the fighter from Flint, that produced a

:20:04.:20:07.

tremendous response. Eva Calvo Gomez a superb silver, disappointed but

:20:08.:20:11.

beaten by a clear margin. Yeah, by a clear mar u gin and she -- margin

:20:12.:20:16.

and she kept her cool - Jade Jones. That was brilliant stuff. She racked

:20:17.:20:22.

up the points but credit to Eva Calvo Gomez because she came back

:20:23.:20:25.

into it, she never gave up, kept coming forward. Jade Jones in the

:20:26.:20:29.

end, though, double Olympic champion.

:20:30.:20:38.

This is just absolutely phenomenal - Jade Jones, one of the stars of

:20:39.:20:45.

London 2012 has struck gold again. Double Olympic champion! There is

:20:46.:20:50.

Jade Jones - this is absolutely incredible. Right, we'll go back to

:20:51.:20:55.

the Taekwondo very shortly. And hear from the Olympic champion after we

:20:56.:20:59.

take you back to the track and field. Let's head back to the

:21:00.:21:02.

Olympic Stadium. As you can see Eilidh Doyle is about to go in the

:21:03.:21:06.

women's 400m hurdles final. What a night we have here.

:21:07.:21:21.

Doyle, Nugent, Muhammad, Peet, Spencer, Hejnova, Tracey, Russell in

:21:22.:21:26.

the finals. Doyle stretching out. The lanes outside her to the first

:21:27.:21:30.

bar jer, she looked strong with Nugent outside. We're looking for

:21:31.:21:36.

Dalilah Muhammad in lane 3. She's made up ground. Passing Petersen

:21:37.:21:43.

sand Spencer. But it's Muhammad leading at the moment. Hejnova going

:21:44.:21:49.

strongly. A couple of lanes outside, but Muhammad over that barrier in

:21:50.:21:53.

front as the rain starts to come down heavier still in the Olympic

:21:54.:21:58.

Stadium. Muhammad four or five paces clear, Doyle can Doyle a lot of

:21:59.:22:02.

ground to make up but everybody has a lot of ground to make up. Petersen

:22:03.:22:07.

going well. Hejnova is there, Ashley Spencer trying to finish strongly

:22:08.:22:11.

but Dalilah Muhammad for the gold medal! And how quick is it? She's

:22:12.:22:17.

fading a little bit but she crossing the line - 53.14. Petersen the

:22:18.:22:22.

silver and Ashley Spencer came through for the bronze. But just

:22:23.:22:29.

about from the start, to the finish, Dalilah Muhammad, the favourite, is

:22:30.:22:33.

the champion. Sarah Petersen, you can see what the silver medal meant

:22:34.:22:36.

to her. Eilidh Doyle tried, but that was a high calibre field in front of

:22:37.:22:42.

her, and Ashley Spencer has got the bronze. And we talked about those

:22:43.:22:47.

who were coming in, with all their expectation and the pressure of

:22:48.:22:50.

being the favourites, the clear favourite as Dalilah Muhammad was

:22:51.:22:56.

here, and she delivered and embraced from Sarah Petersen to Eilidh Doyle,

:22:57.:23:00.

two Europeans have competed so hard against each other, but Sarah

:23:01.:23:04.

Petersen takes the silver, that was a great run, a national record for

:23:05.:23:10.

the Dane. Wonderful run, but from Dalilah Muhammad it was superior.

:23:11.:23:16.

Simply better than all the rest. Andrew, the field is obliterated.

:23:17.:23:20.

Once he puts her mind to it - Muhammad - she's so strong. She's

:23:21.:23:24.

technically, very effective and efficient. She just runs so freely,

:23:25.:23:30.

doesn't she? She doesn't seem like she's worried about any stride

:23:31.:23:34.

pattern. She's cool, calm and aggressive at the right moment. That

:23:35.:23:38.

allows you to have that lovely loaning stride, that eases away from

:23:39.:23:44.

the field. And just - ah, a magnificent way. Absolutely

:23:45.:23:47.

brilliant to see that. The big conversation has to be Sarah

:23:48.:23:51.

Petersen, because she had a great year in the championships but I was

:23:52.:23:55.

thinking whether she could live up to that when it comes to the real

:23:56.:24:00.

deal - the Olympic Games. Doyle ran a decent race but didn't quite have

:24:01.:24:06.

the pace of the others. She's run 54.61, how does she look here,

:24:07.:24:12.

Colin? She taken challenge here of the stride pattern. It's one of

:24:13.:24:18.

these things you need to get groved into earlier on in the season.

:24:19.:24:21.

You're allowed to run a lot freezer in circumstances like this, in these

:24:22.:24:24.

championships. Right now, the stride pattern she's worked on is

:24:25.:24:29.

absolutely spot-on at this moment. So there's no worries, no criticism

:24:30.:24:34.

you can give Doyle at this moment in time. It's just this race was

:24:35.:24:38.

phenomenally fast, not just by one or two, or three people, but all the

:24:39.:24:43.

way down to sixth, there was either season best, personal best or just

:24:44.:24:47.

fast times. As you can see, Doyle did a grand job, she couldn't do

:24:48.:24:50.

anymore under this particular circumstance. So all in all, to be

:24:51.:24:54.

in the Olympic final for her is a great achievement. Perhaps maybe she

:24:55.:24:58.

wanted a little bit more, but I can assure you, I applaud her. Yes, to

:24:59.:25:03.

make an Olympic final is something very special, but Dalilah Muhammad,

:25:04.:25:07.

look at her sol far ahead of the rest. The gold medallist, the US

:25:08.:25:12.

again, took a while to get their first track title in Rio, and when

:25:13.:25:21.

they come, they come over the hurdles, Rollins lead, Dalilah

:25:22.:25:24.

Muhammad has taken gold in the women's 400m ahead of Sarah

:25:25.:25:27.

Petersen, Ashley Spencer and Eilidh Doyle down in eighth place.

:25:28.:25:32.

Another gold medal then for the US. The American Dalilah Muhammad, the

:25:33.:25:35.

fastest qualifier also ran the fastest time this year from the

:25:36.:25:39.

Olympic Stadium back over to the Carioca. There you can see Great

:25:40.:25:43.

Britain, another gold medal and we used to seeing this - we saw it at

:25:44.:25:50.

London 2012, we're seeing it again, Jade Jones has won another gold

:25:51.:25:54.

medal, she's a double Olympic champion. Absolutely magnificent

:25:55.:25:59.

performance from Jade and she's just been talking to Nick Hope.

:26:00.:26:08.

Jade, a massive congratulations, you defended your Olympic title, how do

:26:09.:26:13.

you feel snmpket I can't explain, I didn't realise how much pressure,

:26:14.:26:16.

like, I would feel coming into this. Like, even the first two matches, I

:26:17.:26:21.

felt so pressure and intent. To pull it off and, you know, my coach ask a

:26:22.:26:26.

psycho, so it's all down to him! You know, the Great Britain team trained

:26:27.:26:32.

so hard, and even... Come on Paul. You're a big part of this

:26:33.:26:36.

achievement tonight. Sum up what she's achieved. This wasn't a small

:26:37.:26:39.

victory. She destroyed the field today. Yeah, she delivers under

:26:40.:26:44.

pressure, I said it before, she's done it again, she's the most

:26:45.:26:47.

successful British athlete in Taekwondo in history and probably

:26:48.:26:52.

ever will be. And her achievement is fantastic, double Olympic champion.

:26:53.:26:57.

She's done everything. Can I just say a huge thank you to the national

:26:58.:27:01.

lottery for funding the taxpayers that fund Jade to do the sport, and

:27:02.:27:06.

Gary Hall, legend of a boss, keeps the programme together. Absolutely

:27:07.:27:09.

made all of this possible. And Jade, you know, from your perspective, I'm

:27:10.:27:13.

sure you know, for those that don't know your journey over the last four

:27:14.:27:16.

years, hasn't been easy, coping with all of the pressure, but you turned

:27:17.:27:21.

it on when it mattered. I'm still young, only 23. You know to be

:27:22.:27:24.

double Olympic champion already is crazy. And now - I just can't

:27:25.:27:29.

believe it to be honest. You know, before the competition I have been

:27:30.:27:32.

crying in the sessions. You can't see it happening because you know

:27:33.:27:35.

you're so stressed and training all the time. But, you know, I did it

:27:36.:27:40.

when it mattered. Very different atmosphere obviously to London 2012

:27:41.:27:44.

with the home crowd four years ago, but massive support for you still

:27:45.:27:46.

tonight and that must have helped. Definitely, always helps me a lot.

:27:47.:27:50.

My family and friends, they mean the world to me. So much support win or

:27:51.:27:53.

lose, that does mean a lot. Everybody back home in Flint, I

:27:54.:27:59.

think there's like so many people in the - whatever the pub is called!

:28:00.:28:03.

It's amazing. So much support. Massive congratulations to you both.

:28:04.:28:08.

Cheers, thank you, thank you. You know what's incredible? Jade

:28:09.:28:14.

Jones is just 23 years old! Utterly remarkable stuff. There he is the

:28:15.:28:19.

main man - Usain Bolt. You won't miss a beat live here because we'll

:28:20.:28:23.

be crossing to the 200m final very shortly. Back to Gabi and the team,

:28:24.:28:29.

but let's go to Nick where he's at the Carioca this evening. This is

:28:30.:28:34.

just an amazing story of Jade Jones. It gets better and better, Nick.

:28:35.:28:36.

Absolutely incredible. What a final that was. To come out and perform

:28:37.:28:41.

like that under such pressure, not that she just, you know, has from

:28:42.:28:45.

back home having been the Olympian champion last time and a lot of

:28:46.:28:48.

people expecting her to defend the gold medal, but to actually do it

:28:49.:28:51.

when there's all the pressure she puts on herself as well. It was

:28:52.:28:55.

absolutely incredible. She is such a leader in this sport. She's embraced

:28:56.:28:59.

that role. Gone out there yet again, performed when it real lit mattered

:29:00.:29:03.

and continues to put her sport on the map. But also what was

:29:04.:29:06.

interesting about the fight is that she didn't panic. It was still very

:29:07.:29:10.

close in the second round, Nick? That was it. This was the first time

:29:11.:29:16.

she had been challenged all day. She breezed through her three fights

:29:17.:29:21.

before that, unlike Eva Calvo Gomez who scraped through her first round

:29:22.:29:24.

and relied on the sudden death. It was going to be interesting how Jade

:29:25.:29:28.

reacted when she was pushed against a very top competitor and yet again

:29:29.:29:33.

she comes out and didn't panic. When it got close, when Eva Calvo Gomez

:29:34.:29:37.

was drawing herself back into the game and on previous occasions we

:29:38.:29:40.

spoke about the rivalry there's been and obviously the difficulties that

:29:41.:29:44.

Jade's had, beating Eva Calvo Gomez in previous years, but she forgot

:29:45.:29:48.

all of that, put it way behind her and delivered when it really

:29:49.:29:54.

mattered. It was such a strong performance. For someone who is just

:29:55.:29:59.

23, we expect hopefully may not just have just one, but maybe two Olympic

:30:00.:30:03.

games in her. I was thinking about this today when I was looking at all

:30:04.:30:13.

the British fans who turned up to watch Alistair and Jonny Brownlee,

:30:14.:30:17.

we know we have a great team spirit, I wonder if Jade saw the success

:30:18.:30:23.

that Great Britain are having and thinking, "This is my night again."

:30:24.:30:28.

Absolutely. It's a certainly when you're having a medal success in the

:30:29.:30:32.

squad, even in individual sports, it creates that feel good vibe.

:30:33.:30:36.

Everyone wants to go out to win for themselves and their sport, but also

:30:37.:30:40.

for the whole Team GB. As we mentioned for the support there is

:30:41.:30:43.

back home. There have been so many British fans around the Olympic Park

:30:44.:30:46.

that we have been seeing over the last 13 days of competition, they

:30:47.:30:50.

were certainly out in force tonight as she performed in front of them

:30:51.:30:54.

yet again. Nick Hope, at the Carioca, thank you very much indeed.

:30:55.:30:57.

So if you're just tuning in, you just missed a phenomenal fight -

:30:58.:31:02.

Jade Jones has won another gold medal for Great Britain.

:31:03.:31:04.

Congratulations to you Jade Jones. Right, now it's all about this man

:31:05.:31:06.

next. Usain Bolt, it's gold for Usain

:31:07.:31:48.

Bolt. He's done it again. A new world record for Usain Bolt.

:31:49.:31:55.

It is Bolt time in just a few minutes' time. He'll be out on the

:31:56.:32:03.

track ready to run the 200m final. If he wins it, it will be his eighth

:32:04.:32:08.

Olympic gold. He's on his way to a treble-treble. I was going to say

:32:09.:32:13.

historic, unprecedented. I'm fairly sure to say never to be repeated if

:32:14.:32:18.

he does it. I don't think any time soon anyone would do that. You never

:32:19.:32:21.

know what another great athlete is going to come along and be able to

:32:22.:32:26.

duplicate this sort of thing, but it won't be any time soon. This is the

:32:27.:32:31.

second part in the three-part series of Bolt trying to duplicate this

:32:32.:32:36.

feat for the third time winning the 100, 200 and four by 100 relay. I

:32:37.:32:40.

don't see anyone standing in his way tonight, but again you have to run

:32:41.:32:45.

the races and the guys aren't going to let him have it. We saw Andre De

:32:46.:32:49.

Grasse run him to the tape. Maybe that was practice. "Maybe if I do

:32:50.:32:54.

now, and feels like, I can do it in the final." He's on the inside and

:32:55.:32:59.

Merritt as well. They're going to factor into the medals. De Grasse

:33:00.:33:05.

perhaps 100 to 200. But he looked good last night. And Lemaitre

:33:06.:33:08.

produced some form as well N the other race, if there another race

:33:09.:33:16.

behind Bolt, it's hard to predict where the medals are going to go.

:33:17.:33:21.

And there's also Adam Gemili. Alonso Edward has been running well from

:33:22.:33:27.

Panama. Lemaitre is coming around at the right time running 20.01 this

:33:28.:33:31.

year, ran down the semifinals. There were lot of sub-20 second times in

:33:32.:33:36.

the semifinals, that is what is going to make this a fast race.

:33:37.:33:41.

There's a lot of Jamaican support. It's as busy as we have seen it.

:33:42.:33:44.

Certainly since last Saturday, Denise. It rained for about 20

:33:45.:33:49.

minutes, about 30 minutes or so ago. The air has got cooler, a bit of a

:33:50.:33:53.

breeze. So might affect the time. Would it affect the race too much? I

:33:54.:33:58.

don't think so. I think like Michael said, this is a forgone conclusion.

:33:59.:34:05.

Bolt should and will win this. You know, we saw him looking relaxed.

:34:06.:34:09.

This is part of his game strategy. This is such an important event for

:34:10.:34:13.

him. He loves the 200m. He wants to dominate it, and he wants to

:34:14.:34:17.

dominate it big. This could be the last time we ever see him run 200m.

:34:18.:34:22.

It could be and he knows it. This is certainly the last time he's going

:34:23.:34:25.

to be on this stage, the biggest stage of all in athletes - the

:34:26.:34:30.

Olympic Games. And I'm sure he'll want to go out where a bang. He

:34:31.:34:34.

really enjoys this. He'll want to soak up the moment and really

:34:35.:34:39.

entertain the crowd. But, you know, I wonder - I know he's confident but

:34:40.:34:44.

at the same time, he has not been as dominant as we have seen him before.

:34:45.:34:49.

You got De Grasse, you got Merritt, you got Alonso Edward, all of these

:34:50.:34:54.

guys have run very, very fast with De Grasse and Merritt both running

:34:55.:34:57.

under 20 seconds, and easing up both of them in the semifinals. So, you

:34:58.:35:02.

know, if Usain Bolt - obviously we know when he's at his best, no one

:35:03.:35:07.

can get close to him, but if he's not - and we know he's not his best

:35:08.:35:12.

this year, we saw that in the 100m - it could get a little bit

:35:13.:35:15.

competitive. And that - you know, that would be entertaining to see.

:35:16.:35:18.

You know, it's hard to predict at this point what sort of 200m shape

:35:19.:35:23.

he's actually in. And Adam Gemili was disappointed with his semifinal.

:35:24.:35:27.

He got through as one of the fastest losers and you were talking through

:35:28.:35:31.

yesterday his race and his shoulders were bunched up and looked tight

:35:32.:35:34.

around his chest. How much of a difference could it make to his time

:35:35.:35:39.

if he can just get his body right in that final straight? In fact, he

:35:40.:35:42.

wasn't good at his bend either? He was OK around the bend, what he made

:35:43.:35:46.

the mistake is on the straight and that started as soon as he came off

:35:47.:35:50.

the bend, so we're talking about a good 100m of running tight and so

:35:51.:36:00.

each one of those strides is, you know, affecting you by millions --

:36:01.:36:06.

millimetres and Mill seconds, once you made that mistake it's

:36:07.:36:09.

compounded and the effect can be massive. Then that works in the

:36:10.:36:14.

opposite direction as well. When you're more fluid, you're not

:36:15.:36:17.

slowing down as fast, everyone is slowing down at the end of that

:36:18.:36:21.

race, it's a very long sprintd. It's who's slowing down the slowest. And

:36:22.:36:26.

that's what you want to document you do that by maintaining your

:36:27.:36:28.

relaxation, maintaining your form and technique and letting the race

:36:29.:36:32.

come to you and just letting it do what it does instead of trying to

:36:33.:36:36.

force it. And I believe he was trying to force it and he recognised

:36:37.:36:40.

that. I was going to say the important thing - is immediately

:36:41.:36:43.

after the race, Adam said he recognised where he went wrong. And

:36:44.:36:47.

that is so important and so all he needs to do is stay relaxed. He's

:36:48.:36:52.

got to run a great bend. Actually, if he runs his race, he could be in

:36:53.:36:56.

contention. I think we're going to enjoy this.

:36:57.:37:00.

Let's go down to our commentary team.

:37:01.:37:05.

If this is to be the last of his major 200m, then hopefully he has

:37:06.:37:15.

got something special in store for us. The full start list there -

:37:16.:37:24.

Guliyev, Gemili, Edward, De Grasse, Merritt, Bolt, Lemaitre and Martina.

:37:25.:37:28.

The 200m final. Martina on the outside. Little bit of a strapping

:37:29.:37:33.

on his leg - the Dutchman. Well, the great gladiator into the

:37:34.:37:45.

arena, I guess, for the last time. He's taken on all-comers over the

:37:46.:37:50.

last eight years in major championships. Nobody's really got

:37:51.:37:56.

that close, have they? But this is a good field, the point has been made.

:37:57.:38:04.

Had the fast times in the semifinal. Martina has followed Bolt through to

:38:05.:38:08.

2012 and 2016, well done for him to here as well. Lemaitre,

:38:09.:38:13.

rediscovering some form of old. The Frenchman who took Europe by storm

:38:14.:38:17.

in 2010 in the Olympic final. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:38:18.:38:25.

One more spin around the bend! ANNOUNCER: Usain Bolt!

:38:26.:38:35.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The crowd respond to their hero.

:38:36.:38:45.

LaShawn Merritt, at 200m, he's quicker than Carl Lewis. 12th on the

:38:46.:38:50.

all-time list. He's looking for a medal at the very least. And this

:38:51.:39:00.

massive talent from Canada - Andre De Grasse. Whenever the phrase the

:39:01.:39:08.

bronze figure of Andre De Grasse is true, he's won three bronze medals

:39:09.:39:12.

now, he says if he's going for the world record, I'm going with him!

:39:13.:39:16.

That will be interesting to see. In 2009 when Bolt ran that 19.19 world

:39:17.:39:20.

record in Berlin, this is the man who followed him home - Alonso

:39:21.:39:24.

Edward. Seems a long time ago now. He's still only 26. Adam Gemili from

:39:25.:39:36.

Blackheath and Bromley Club. 20.07 this year. If he could go under 20

:39:37.:39:42.

seconds, that would be a huge achievement here. Guliyev on the

:39:43.:39:47.

inside running for Turkey. So every single man in this field has run

:39:48.:39:49.

under 20 seconds. On your marks... So Bolt perhaps for

:39:50.:40:06.

the very last time in a major championship goes into his blocks at

:40:07.:40:13.

the start of the 200m. A journey which begun when he was just

:40:14.:40:20.

15-years-of-age. What history is written, what more does he have for

:40:21.:40:22.

us? Quiet, please, Mr Bolt is about to

:40:23.:40:38.

start. He gets away well. Already away from Merritt. De Grasse is

:40:39.:40:42.

going well around the bend as well. Gemili trying to get into the race

:40:43.:40:47.

with Edward, but it's Usain Bolt on his own as he's been throughout his

:40:48.:40:52.

career. Usain Bolt - running away from everybody. Running to what he

:40:53.:40:58.

loved to be immortality as an athlete. It's a gold. His eighth

:40:59.:41:01.

gold! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:41:02.:41:12.

No world records this time. Even Usain Bolt couldn't deliver on a

:41:13.:41:17.

rainy night in Rio, but I don't think any of us expected that.

:41:18.:41:26.

Number one! Well, if that is it, if we never see him again in a 200m

:41:27.:41:31.

final, it would be a real shame, but then what we need to do is reflect

:41:32.:41:37.

on what this man has done. Gemili got fourth. Lemaitre cannot believe

:41:38.:41:49.

it. He took the bronze medal in the same time as Gemili. I was so

:41:50.:41:55.

wrapped up with Bolt and said Gemili was being pulled through by Alonso

:41:56.:41:58.

Edward. He was almost there in the end. And I'm sure he would forgive

:41:59.:42:08.

the crowd and everybody else for concentrating on that man there.

:42:09.:42:11.

They're all looking up at the screen and can't believe the result. De

:42:12.:42:16.

Grasse has expected the silver medal and Lemaitre, goodness me - outside

:42:17.:42:24.

20 seconds as well. If this is it, what on earth are we going to do

:42:25.:42:34.

without him? Colin... You know, Steve, my heart goes out to this

:42:35.:42:40.

young man - Adam Gemili. To be fourth place with exactly the same

:42:41.:42:46.

time as the bronze medallist - Christophe Lemaitre - which some

:42:47.:42:49.

would expected to have beaten coming into this competition, is going to

:42:50.:42:54.

be - oh, truly, truly a bitter, bitter pill for him to deal with.

:42:55.:42:58.

Look at his head, he cannot believe it. No doubt the British team will

:42:59.:43:02.

say - can we have a look at that photo please? They'll study it and

:43:03.:43:06.

try to get a bronze medal if it's actually there. But you know, once

:43:07.:43:11.

the result goes up nowadays, they're pretty accurate in what they do. So

:43:12.:43:16.

Adam will be devastated, no doubt. But you know - he's still fourth in

:43:17.:43:19.

the world. He's got to remember that and he's got a bright, bright future

:43:20.:43:21.

ahead of him. OK, so Usain Bolt, he's taken a bow

:43:22.:43:36.

and, well, family of supported him, of course, through all of that and

:43:37.:43:41.

been there on so many occasions to see him, unbelievably. And what a

:43:42.:43:50.

journey he's had us all on. Gemili was right into it up to the bend and

:43:51.:43:55.

then it was a scrap for the medals after that. He wanted to get on

:43:56.:44:00.

Christophe Lemaitre very quickly. I think that was probably upset

:44:01.:44:04.

someone like LaShawn Merritt who wasn't expecting him to go out so

:44:05.:44:08.

hard. And Andre De Grasse said he wanted to go with Usain and that is

:44:09.:44:16.

exactly what he has done. To behold Usain through to that silver medal

:44:17.:44:20.

position, he'll be pleased with that. Many of the athletes would be

:44:21.:44:22.

disappointed with the time. They would hope that clock would have

:44:23.:44:28.

stopped at something like 19.4, 19.5, which would have dragged

:44:29.:44:31.

everybody down to a much quicker performance. Look at that, Colin!

:44:32.:44:36.

From this side it almost would have said Martina. Lemaitre is a bit

:44:37.:44:40.

taller than the other two, might have just got to also a tiny bit in

:44:41.:44:44.

front. I was looking for closely at those lines, and it did look to me

:44:45.:44:52.

that Christophe Lemaitre had just, just, just edged it. Michael, what

:44:53.:44:57.

is your thoughts? Well, I expected a little bit faster, Colin, but the

:44:58.:45:02.

race is what it is and Bolt immediately jumped out to the lead,

:45:03.:45:07.

never relinquished it. We knew it was going to be a race for the

:45:08.:45:11.

medals. I knew this was going to be an interesting race for the medals

:45:12.:45:14.

behind bolt. There you see it, just very, very tight on the line. But De

:45:15.:45:18.

Grasse followed Bolt, as he said he would. Ran a quality race for a

:45:19.:45:22.

silver. But then extremely tight on the line there. I think that Gemili,

:45:23.:45:29.

Lemaitre, Chura in, dy couldn't have done a better job, all timed it

:45:30.:45:33.

perfectly and the results are what they are. LaShawn Merritt in the

:45:34.:45:37.

Middle of the track, never was in it, didn't have the foot speed to

:45:38.:45:41.

match the rest of the guys, and tried to come through with the 400m

:45:42.:45:45.

strength in the end. But these guys are too fast. Coming over from the

:45:46.:45:51.

100m and this was a quality race. You take Bolt out of it, that was

:45:52.:45:57.

fantastic for him. 19.79. But tight on the line for all of the other

:45:58.:46:03.

guys. It was a quality race just not being able to separate. You see

:46:04.:46:06.

right there - Gemili - I mean Lemaitre is ahead. I think Churandy

:46:07.:46:11.

is just a hair back from Gemili. Gemili timed his lean just right. I

:46:12.:46:15.

don't think he could have done more to get that bronze. I think he

:46:16.:46:19.

executed as well as he could. If you look at the time isn't as fast as

:46:20.:46:23.

what he ran in the semifinal, but if you look at his race and his

:46:24.:46:27.

position versus the other guys, there were guys in there who ran 19

:46:28.:46:31.

seconds in the semifinals, like Merritt. And he was able to finish

:46:32.:46:37.

ahead of him. So around this bend, Bolt just establishes himself,

:46:38.:46:40.

Lemaitre great job, just not trying to respond to Bolt, let him go and

:46:41.:46:44.

then use the strength coming down the home stretch, which he does.

:46:45.:46:48.

Look at that right there! I mean, seven guys all right there together.

:46:49.:46:54.

Six guys trying to all get in there for those medals. That was quality

:46:55.:46:57.

racing. I was a little disappointed in the time. I would have thought -

:46:58.:47:03.

I expected Bolt to run maybe 19.6 or seven, I thought. He may not be in a

:47:04.:47:09.

great a shape as we like for him or seen him in the past, but I expect

:47:10.:47:12.

the guys like LaShawn Merritt and Andre De Grasse to go under 19

:47:13.:47:15.

seconds. Again maybe challenge Bolt a little bit. Lemaitre 20.01 in the

:47:16.:47:23.

semifinals but none of them went under 20 other than Bolt. LaShawn

:47:24.:47:26.

Merritt struggling there, but Bolt relieved, full of joy knowing he has

:47:27.:47:31.

done it. He has completed at least in his individual events, he has

:47:32.:47:38.

completed the triple. A fantastic performance by a fantastic and

:47:39.:47:42.

amazing competitor. Adam Gemili is with me, track-side

:47:43.:47:48.

now. Adam, we always say that's the coolest place to finish, in fourth.

:47:49.:47:51.

I know it's full of emotion for you, but what a performance in an Olympic

:47:52.:47:58.

final. Yeah, I'm just heartbroken. I put so much into that - into that

:47:59.:48:03.

run, and I lost my form at the end. And I just took it so close. It's

:48:04.:48:10.

heartbreaking. Gutted. Just absolutely gutted. It's a margin of

:48:11.:48:18.

3,000ths of a second. Makes harsher in a way, but the way you ran your

:48:19.:48:24.

race in the first Olympic time, can you begin to take some pride from

:48:25.:48:28.

it? Yeah, I was on the inside, and I knew Bolt was going to go and I knew

:48:29.:48:33.

a lot of people were going to go with him, my coach and I said, let

:48:34.:48:38.

them go, be a bit more conservative, because yesterday I had a look at

:48:39.:48:42.

the race, I hit the bend really hard, save a bit for when you come

:48:43.:48:46.

into the straight and you start to go past people and I did. I just

:48:47.:48:50.

lost my form in the end. But it's been a fantastic season for myself

:48:51.:48:54.

and my team around me, my family, and my friends at home and my

:48:55.:48:58.

girlfriend. I have had such amazing support from everyone in the UK and

:48:59.:49:02.

around the world. I just - I want to say thank you very much to them. It

:49:03.:49:06.

means a lot. I'm just gutted I couldn't do it. Bring home a medal

:49:07.:49:13.

for GB. Yeah, it's... Colin Jackson said in commentary -

:49:14.:49:16.

22-years-of-age, you're on the upward curve, there's so much more

:49:17.:49:19.

to come from you in years to come. You love this arena. Yeah, this is

:49:20.:49:25.

what - this is the fun bit of competing, at the championships. We

:49:26.:49:28.

have a big year next year in London, and I just can't wait to go out

:49:29.:49:32.

there and put this right because I'm really gutted. I'm so gutted. You

:49:33.:49:38.

have no idea. To miss out on an Olympic medal, fourth place is

:49:39.:49:41.

probably the worst place, it's so close and at the same time it's

:49:42.:49:45.

heartbreaking. I got no words. Hopefully next year I can make it

:49:46.:49:50.

right for the team, and like ill said - in my speech, we're not here

:49:51.:49:54.

to feel lanes anymore. Four Europeans in that field and Team GB

:49:55.:49:59.

and especially in the 200m, we got guys who can make the final and

:50:00.:50:03.

push. We will continue to do so. So, yeah. Shame didn't work out tonight.

:50:04.:50:11.

But I'll reconvene with my coach. As team captain, you have done your

:50:12.:50:16.

team proud. Thank you so much. Well, you can see the frustration

:50:17.:50:22.

there of Adam Gemili. And there the results. The reason why just missing

:50:23.:50:28.

out on a medal there - Lemaitre delighted he was, wasn't he, to just

:50:29.:50:32.

sneak that bronze. Andre De Grasse, well he's moved away from the bronze

:50:33.:50:38.

medals at last. Got a silver medal. That is Usain Bolt's slowest

:50:39.:50:42.

championship winning 200m, and, well, he knows as much as anybody

:50:43.:50:47.

else that if that is the last one it was a great one. His eighth Olympic

:50:48.:50:53.

gold medal, of course. And, just the four by 100m relay to come for the

:50:54.:51:00.

triple-triple. What a mix of emotions tonight.

:51:01.:51:06.

Usain Bolt, I imagine, number one emotion - relief. Relief and joy.

:51:07.:51:09.

You know, this is what it's all about. I mean, as an athlete, he

:51:10.:51:14.

loves running the relay, we all love running the relays, but at the end

:51:15.:51:19.

of the day, your career is about what you do at the individual event.

:51:20.:51:25.

He's done that. No matter what he has done from this point on, he's

:51:26.:51:29.

done what no one else has done, and may never do ever again, at least

:51:30.:51:34.

not in our lifetime. And so, yeah, I'm sure there's a tremendous amount

:51:35.:51:37.

of relief from the injuries that he suffered earlier in the year, you

:51:38.:51:41.

know, and it's been tough, his health has been something that he's

:51:42.:51:46.

had to manage much better and pay much more attention to, you know,

:51:47.:51:50.

and sort of put aside the motivation that, you know, sustained him for so

:51:51.:51:55.

long which was, "I'm going to run faster and faster and faster" and

:51:56.:51:59.

replace that with, "Now I need to cross the finish line ahead of

:52:00.:52:02.

everybody else." He's done that. I feel a lightening bolt coming, no,

:52:03.:52:07.

what he's doing now. He's kissing the track and he is going to give a

:52:08.:52:12.

..a lightening bolt moment! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:52:13.:52:15.

He's out there doing his lightening bolt! We just missed that. He's

:52:16.:52:22.

lapping up the adulation of the crowd as he always does. And he's so

:52:23.:52:27.

good at that. It's just so natural, nothing forced about this. This is a

:52:28.:52:33.

completely - there it is! And that was what the great cheer was for,

:52:34.:52:38.

Denise. What the crowd is still doing - is chanting his name "Usain

:52:39.:52:44.

Bolt, Usain Bolt." Just incredible what he brings to stadiums around

:52:45.:52:47.

the world. Boy, are we going to miss him. Boy, are we going to miss him!

:52:48.:52:54.

He's been a fantastic ambassador, great athlete, and is in the history

:52:55.:52:58.

books. There'll be no one else like him. And just a word on Adam Gemili

:52:59.:53:05.

as well, you know - 3,000th of a second is the difference. It's

:53:06.:53:09.

literally nothing. And - but it's everything. It's everything. It's

:53:10.:53:16.

huge. And he is so disappointed now. He hoped, he hoped and he hoped, and

:53:17.:53:22.

he looked up and realised - no, not now. It physically crushed him.

:53:23.:53:27.

Fifth in the world championships in 2013. He tore his hamstring last

:53:28.:53:32.

year, couldn't compete in Beijing. He's very good on the big stage. So

:53:33.:53:41.

close, big respect for you, and this huge respect for him, he is mixing

:53:42.:53:45.

it and consistently so. I believe that he represents a new attitude of

:53:46.:53:49.

British sprinters. I have been in this role for a very long time -

:53:50.:53:56.

since 2004 - and I remember when British sprinters weren't as hungry

:53:57.:54:00.

and weren't coming off after a disappointing race and saying, "You

:54:01.:54:03.

know, I'm disappointed, I have should have done better", he was

:54:04.:54:06.

very hard on himself, I thought. That was a tough ask, but you want

:54:07.:54:11.

to see that disappointment. That's what - I know it's tough for him and

:54:12.:54:16.

I feel for him, but at the same time, I also can appreciate that he

:54:17.:54:20.

knows that I - I'm right there and I don't - I don't want to settle. I

:54:21.:54:24.

don't want to settle. I want a medal. And he will take that into

:54:25.:54:30.

next year and follow training. When he's had a year removed from his

:54:31.:54:33.

injury, that will serve him well. That's why he's in this final,

:54:34.:54:38.

getting in on time, but being able to get himself into this final is

:54:39.:54:41.

because of his drive and determination and coming off the

:54:42.:54:44.

track and being able to articulate what he needs to improve, that will

:54:45.:54:48.

serve him well. I'd like to see that and I want to see him successful. He

:54:49.:54:52.

also has to understand, though, as well time is running out. You know,

:54:53.:54:58.

I mean, Phil said there - you're 22. But Andre De Grasse is 21. Time is

:54:59.:55:03.

not quite running out but there are othering comes as well. There's

:55:04.:55:05.

others coming. It's not going to be his stage. The thing is - is you

:55:06.:55:10.

want to get this done in short order, because you feed off of that

:55:11.:55:13.

momentum so the momentum needs to keep coming. I don't think he'll get

:55:14.:55:21.

a copy of that picture. No, he should, that's the motivation. Like

:55:22.:55:28.

KJT's... Yes, part of the disappointment is those

:55:29.:55:31.

opportunities don't come around that often. I mean let's face it - that

:55:32.:55:36.

200m race was not the quickest. We have seen so many quick ones in

:55:37.:55:42.

times gone by, he knows that to finish fourth so agonisingly close

:55:43.:55:47.

is a bitter pill to swallow. He's got to run sub-20 more consistently

:55:48.:55:50.

to be really pushing those guys. Yes, I completely agree with you,

:55:51.:55:55.

Denise. But the whole feel, though, kind of - you get the sense that

:55:56.:55:59.

there was - that the atmosphere wasn't right for those sorts of

:56:00.:56:03.

times because no one ran under 20 seconds. So I don't know that Adam

:56:04.:56:08.

could run under 20s if Andre De Grasse didn't even run under 20

:56:09.:56:11.

seconds. Usain Bolt as you can see is with Phil joens. Let's -- Jones.

:56:12.:56:19.

Let's hear what he has to say. Great man. Can you get your around what

:56:20.:56:22.

you have achieved? No, no, definitely not. It's something that

:56:23.:56:29.

you work so hard for short years. When this moment comes, you're happy

:56:30.:56:33.

but also relieved to have done it because you really want it and so

:56:34.:56:36.

much things could have gone wrong and the fact that I came here and

:56:37.:56:39.

executed and everything worked out is a brilliant feeling. When you

:56:40.:56:43.

crossed the line, there was a bit of frustration, was there? I was

:56:44.:56:49.

unhappy with the time. My body would not respond to me. You know what I

:56:50.:56:54.

mean? Just I'm getting older, not as young and fresh, but just one of

:56:55.:56:58.

those things. I'm excited I got the gold medal and that's the key thing.

:56:59.:57:01.

You deliver on the track. Tell me how you do it in spite of all the

:57:02.:57:05.

media circus, everything that goes around Usain Bolt, the man, the

:57:06.:57:08.

legend? I don't watch that. I focus on what I need to do because I know

:57:09.:57:13.

if I don't do it, then there won't be any Usain Bolt. I know what I

:57:14.:57:17.

have to do, I come out and get it done, that's my focus. It's your

:57:18.:57:21.

last Olympics we know that. You said you won't compete in the Worlds next

:57:22.:57:26.

year, are we going to see you over the 200 again. If I run - when I

:57:27.:57:31.

come to championships, I'll only do the 100m, definitely feel like that

:57:32.:57:35.

would be the last one for me. This is your last 200 at a major? I want

:57:36.:57:40.

to say no, but my coach has a way of trying to convince me. Personally, I

:57:41.:57:44.

think this is my last one. Usain, you have been ale great champion.

:57:45.:57:46.

Always fantastic to talk to you, congratulations. I want to say to

:57:47.:57:50.

Steve, I'm going to watch, hopefully you commentate on this one, I'm

:57:51.:57:55.

looking forward to this one. (LAUGHTER)

:57:56.:58:00.

Of course you commentated brilliantly! He does, he listens,

:58:01.:58:04.

he's a student of printing, he listens to what people say, he's

:58:05.:58:08.

going to listen to what you say about this, Michael. He said he just

:58:09.:58:12.

didn't feel right in the home straight, did you see that when you

:58:13.:58:16.

watched the race the first time? The entire field just looked like - I

:58:17.:58:20.

don't know if it was the rain or if it was the - you know, the time, I

:58:21.:58:25.

don't know what it was, but it didn't look like a really fast race

:58:26.:58:28.

to me by anyone, not just by Bolt but by anyone, and certainly both

:58:29.:58:31.

both ran away from this field, you can see he's starting to get a

:58:32.:58:34.

little fatigued there, I thought they were going to start coming back

:58:35.:58:38.

to him, but they weren't able to respond. I was looking at Bolt and

:58:39.:58:42.

saw that he's not looking as quick, he's not looking as sharp and crisp

:58:43.:58:46.

as he normally does down the home stretch. He starts to fatigue out

:58:47.:58:51.

about 20m from the finish line, in that race he started to fatigue

:58:52.:58:55.

about 50-60m at the finish. I looked then at the rest of the field to see

:58:56.:58:59.

if they were going to respond, and they weren't able to. Even looked

:59:00.:59:05.

ranged in that race. His interviews are always great. Christophe

:59:06.:59:09.

Lemaitre - that's the moment he realised the bronze medal was his,

:59:10.:59:14.

and what an incredible rise back to form for him, because he hasn't

:59:15.:59:17.

shown that for a couple of seasons, and there Adam Gemili, the moment he

:59:18.:59:21.

found u out the bronze wasn't his. Just looking here again, you know,

:59:22.:59:25.

Bolt got up very quick, so did De Grasse, Merritt in the middle. He

:59:26.:59:29.

expected him to be in the mid but he didn't get out at all. At this point

:59:30.:59:34.

you can see already that Bolt is starting to labour and right here as

:59:35.:59:38.

well - I thought this was tough. He's kind of looking like - what's

:59:39.:59:41.

going on here? The rest of the guys couldn't respond at all to what

:59:42.:59:46.

looked like fatigue from Bolt. So I don't know if it got a little bit

:59:47.:59:49.

cooler today. There was a rain shower before, and that could have

:59:50.:59:52.

just thrown things off for the entire race. You see Bolt already

:59:53.:59:58.

starting to grimace there, looking up at the screen which indicates he

:59:59.:00:03.

has nothing left, I don't know what else I have, hopefully these guys

:00:04.:00:06.

aren't coming. He's looking at the screen again, we have never seen him

:00:07.:00:10.

looking at the screen that much to check his position and see how much

:00:11.:00:13.

ground those guys might be making up on him but they weren't making up

:00:14.:00:17.

any ground at all. But, you know, this was fantastic for Bolt. Again,

:00:18.:00:23.

you know, amazing feeling for him, I'm sure, to know this is all over,

:00:24.:00:28.

he has stamped his, you know, his place in history in the sport. He

:00:29.:00:34.

transscends this sport. He transcends sports in many ways. He

:00:35.:00:37.

has changed a lot of what sprinting is all about, what the sports

:00:38.:00:41.

scientists say, what the coaches say and believe - and in the future, I

:00:42.:00:47.

mean he is the model by which people will young future sprinters, people

:00:48.:00:50.

will identify talent based on, you know, system of the things that we

:00:51.:00:53.

have seen Usain Bolt do over the last eight years. Just the latest

:00:54.:00:59.

instalment in his Olympic odyssey. Looking for a fine nine, but now

:01:00.:01:05.

it's a great eight. They get away the first time but here comes Usain

:01:06.:01:09.

Bolt. Usain Bolt streaking away from the field. It's going to be gold for

:01:10.:01:13.

Jamaica, that is superb. It's a new world record!

:01:14.:01:20.

Away they go, and Usain Bolt already going past the guys as they weren't

:01:21.:01:29.

there. Watch the time. It's gold for Usain Bolt and a new world record! I

:01:30.:01:31.

do not believe it! Usain Bolt has it in his hands

:01:32.:01:41.

safely and away that round top end. It's Jamaica, one chance for gold.

:01:42.:01:46.

What's the time? It's a new world record! Three gold medals, three

:01:47.:01:47.

world records! It's a clean start. Bolt is out of

:01:48.:02:15.

the blocks really well. He's already storming around the bend. Look at

:02:16.:02:20.

Bolt go. It's a 3-metre lead. He's going to do it again. Gold all the

:02:21.:02:27.

way. You cannot argue. Here he goes. Bolt is away and gone. Jamaica with

:02:28.:02:30.

the gold again. And it's a new world record. Smashes it to pieces. Gatlin

:02:31.:02:41.

gets away. And Gatlin leading it at the moment but here comes Usain

:02:42.:02:45.

Bolt. Usain Bolt is going to take it. Usain Bolt gets it. What more

:02:46.:02:50.

does he have for us? He gets away well. Already away from Merritt. De

:02:51.:02:56.

Grasse is going well as well. But Usain Bolt on his own as he's been

:02:57.:03:01.

throughout his career. Usain Bolt running awe way from everybody.

:03:02.:03:07.

Running! Immortality as an athlete. 19.97.9. His eighth gold. So the

:03:08.:03:20.

great eight looks something like that. What an incredible haul it is

:03:21.:03:26.

and tomorrow night, it's the four x 100 metre relay, men and women and

:03:27.:03:30.

Usain Bolt will be relying on his team-mates to get the baton around

:03:31.:03:35.

to him so that he can take it home and the times that were produced

:03:36.:03:39.

today in the heats, it may well be a fight for the line? It could be a

:03:40.:03:44.

fight. You know, the four x 100 relay, the Jamaicans aren't as

:03:45.:03:47.

strong as they have been in the past. The Americans are very strong.

:03:48.:03:50.

There are some other teams that could have something there. The

:03:51.:03:53.

Japanese did very well today. They did do well. And it is always about

:03:54.:03:58.

the exchanges but the Jamaican, I can't remember the last time that

:03:59.:04:03.

the Jamaicans have actually dropped the baton. It doesn't happen for

:04:04.:04:07.

them. A lot of pressure on the guys running with him to get the baton

:04:08.:04:12.

there. If you were given the job of handing Usain Bolt the baton! I saw

:04:13.:04:16.

them interviewed today and I actually think that they don't feel

:04:17.:04:21.

the pressure. I don't. They want to win equally for themselves. Yes, the

:04:22.:04:29.

it is great but they are running for pride and for their own destinies. I

:04:30.:04:34.

love relay night so we have two cracking nights in store. But

:04:35.:04:41.

earlier this evening, you saw Eilidh Doyle going in the 400 metres finals

:04:42.:04:46.

here and besides Muhammad from the United States of America, it seemed

:04:47.:04:50.

like it was an open race behind and it ended up being a quick race as

:04:51.:04:53.

well because the heats in this weren't that strong, were they? They

:04:54.:04:59.

weren't. She was in lane one. There was no real indication where the

:05:00.:05:05.

medals were going to be destined. Obviously Muhammad strong, she's

:05:06.:05:08.

looked silky smooth throughout the rounds. Just beautiful technician.

:05:09.:05:13.

It was about her and the clock tonight. I think that Eilidh Doyle

:05:14.:05:18.

had a tough ask from lane one, it was always going to be a challenge

:05:19.:05:22.

for her. She didn't hurdle badly. She gave it everything but what

:05:23.:05:26.

happened in this race is that everybody raised their game. And as

:05:27.:05:34.

much as she was in... If she was in another lane but whether she had the

:05:35.:05:39.

flat speed to go with four women going sub-54. It was an incredible

:05:40.:05:46.

race. Most of the athletes here had run laster than Eilidh had run this

:05:47.:05:49.

year so in all fairness to her, and getting into this final was an

:05:50.:05:55.

achievement in itself. And I think that we always knew that Muhammad

:05:56.:06:00.

and Petersen from Denmark were going to be strong as well as Ashley

:06:01.:06:03.

Spencer. Let's see her thoughts then after the race. She spoke to Phil.

:06:04.:06:10.

Lane one, it was always going to be a tough ask but it seemed like you

:06:11.:06:14.

ran the race you way you wanted? Yeah, I can't really fault any of

:06:15.:06:20.

it, you know. It was smooth. I justice wasn't in there. And you

:06:21.:06:25.

know, I don't as disappointed as I did last year in Beijing. I came off

:06:26.:06:28.

the track last year in Beijing thinking that I could have done

:06:29.:06:32.

more. I may have felt like I nailed the race but I was in this today. I

:06:33.:06:37.

can't be too unhappy but obviously you always want more and you ran to

:06:38.:06:41.

run a PB or something. It feels bitter sweet now. Going forward,

:06:42.:06:44.

what do you take out of an experience like tonight? I think

:06:45.:06:49.

that I've got to look at it with my coach and analyse it and see where

:06:50.:06:53.

we can make improvements. I think that my hurdling was really good

:06:54.:06:55.

tonight so maybe just trying to work on the speed a little bit and get a

:06:56.:06:59.

little bit quicker. Thank you for talking to us. Thank you very much.

:07:00.:07:07.

First of all, a big congratulations because that was a wonderful

:07:08.:07:09.

performance to crown you Olympic champion. It's one thing being the

:07:10.:07:12.

favourite and another thing to deliver the way that you did. Tell

:07:13.:07:15.

me how you did it? I kept believing in myself. My coach, he had

:07:16.:07:20.

continued to motivate me. I was feeling really tired before the race

:07:21.:07:23.

but any time that you're about to run that fast, I feel that way so I

:07:24.:07:26.

was trusting myself and believing in my abilities and I was able to come

:07:27.:07:31.

up with the win today. Had you ever even maybe dared to dream of what

:07:32.:07:34.

might happen tonight if you won the gold medal? Definitely. I just kept

:07:35.:07:38.

praying about it and praying about it. I'm just... You kind of get so

:07:39.:07:43.

overwhelmed you want to stop thinking about it and let fate take

:07:44.:07:47.

its place and play itself out. How does the reality compare to the

:07:48.:07:53.

dream? Much, much better. I mean, when he said that I was the first

:07:54.:08:01.

American to win the gold medal for the hurdles 400. Enjoy the

:08:02.:08:08.

celebrations. Thank you so much. Well, some pretty snappy American

:08:09.:08:12.

hurdling has helped to propel them. Well, they were already at the top

:08:13.:08:16.

of the table but the gap has increased now. 25 medals on Jamaica

:08:17.:08:22.

on seven. Kenya behind them and then really it's just a mixture of

:08:23.:08:26.

Croatia, China, South Africa, Ethiopia. Nobody else really within

:08:27.:08:29.

reach of the top nations. Nobody is in reach of the United States of

:08:30.:08:32.

America. This has been pretty good for you guys? And the team is led by

:08:33.:08:36.

the women. It's been the women. The US women's team is extremely strong.

:08:37.:08:40.

If you look at all of the events, the women are bringing home most of

:08:41.:08:43.

the medals. Well said, we can't argue with that, can we? Michael has

:08:44.:08:49.

kind of admitted that we are the stronger sex! Who runs the world?

:08:50.:09:01.

Who runs the world - girls! Jason Mohammed, I don't think that we can

:09:02.:09:05.

say anything else. Can we? Thank you very much here. Nothing to

:09:06.:09:11.

say here other than brilliant night yet again Gabby and the team. Usain

:09:12.:09:15.

Bolt, what a sportsman and as for athletics, what does athletics or

:09:16.:09:19.

track and field, what does sport do when Usain Bolt decides to up the

:09:20.:09:23.

spikes? An incredible performer. What an Olympic champion. We are now

:09:24.:09:27.

going to talk about another Olympic champion. Jay Jones. If you've just

:09:28.:09:31.

tuned in, maybe been on the late shift and coming in and turning on

:09:32.:09:36.

the TV, Jay Jones is the double Olympic champion in tie quand owe.

:09:37.:09:43.

She's beaten -- Taekwando. Rising her to use the cut kick here.

:09:44.:10:01.

Six points there. And there is the stabbing cut kick to the body.

:10:02.:10:17.

A little bit of a come back and a chip and a charge. A real to usled

:10:18.:10:27.

affair. That is incredible but as you said, Calvo Gomez, caught up

:10:28.:10:31.

with the same technique but has to be careful as she gets in because

:10:32.:10:36.

Jones can change it. Another point picked up by Jones. Enormous tension

:10:37.:10:47.

and rivalry between these two. Will it be a repeat or will it be

:10:48.:10:54.

revenge? Jones hoping for her second Olympic title. She won it with the

:10:55.:10:57.

home crowd in London. She's on the road and she's here in Rio and she's

:10:58.:11:03.

on the road with a 5-point gap. Almost scoring with that head shot

:11:04.:11:09.

and again, great defence from Calvo Gomez. An excellent push point there

:11:10.:11:14.

from the Spanish fighter. Yeah, she just has to keep her head and

:11:15.:11:22.

composure, jade Jones. There is the head shot that puts Calvo Gomez back

:11:23.:11:28.

into this one. The Spanish fighter not giving up without a fight and

:11:29.:11:34.

Calvo Gomez, she's 7-6 behind in the matches. Jones trying one of her own

:11:35.:11:37.

and one thing is for sure, this is a classic. It is absolute classic and

:11:38.:11:42.

I think she's going to have a look and see what she's scored with

:11:43.:11:51.

earlier. And just go back to that. Look at that - quick change of

:11:52.:11:56.

direction there. The direction of the scores has changed quickly as

:11:57.:11:59.

well. Jones with the great physicality. This is Olympic

:12:00.:12:10.

taekwondo at its very, very best. Both women reeling and rocking here

:12:11.:12:15.

and Jones retreats. She was handily in the lead. Calvo Gomez has clawed

:12:16.:12:26.

it back. The coaching instruction is quite

:12:27.:12:29.

clear there. Forget that round. Give me your best two minutes, but it was

:12:30.:12:33.

the best two minutes from Calvo Gomez here. Yeah, I think absolutely

:12:34.:12:40.

right. It was fantastic for Gomez. Gomez absolutely came forward.

:12:41.:12:44.

Didn't she? And she was determined to pull that deficit back and she

:12:45.:12:52.

did. What a battle we've got here. It is. Coming into the last round

:12:53.:12:58.

here, it's anybody's match, this. So it all depends now on who wants it

:12:59.:13:03.

most and a little bit of a change of tactics from either fighter. I think

:13:04.:13:06.

that Eva Calvo Gomez did change the tactics and that's why she got the

:13:07.:13:12.

points. Big moments here in Brazil. The

:13:13.:13:17.

women's under 57 kg gold medal contest. Eva Calvo Gomez of Spain in

:13:18.:13:22.

red. Jade Jones, her opponent and you can guess what colour she's in.

:13:23.:13:26.

But what colour will they be carrying at the end. This the battle

:13:27.:13:31.

for gold or silver and Jones picks off a little hoop kick to the body.

:13:32.:13:37.

8-6 now, cancelled out by Calvo Gomez. Ebbing and flowing here. 8-7.

:13:38.:13:44.

Hanging against Jones. What a match. Wow, it is. It's a fantastic match.

:13:45.:13:49.

Great stuff here. Calvo Gomez absolutely taking the fight to

:13:50.:13:52.

Jones. Jones has to fire back. But it's an open match. It's an open

:13:53.:14:02.

final and that's why it's so close. Zbler so much tension and

:14:03.:14:04.

understandable impasse here. Jones goes for a head shot and she takes

:14:05.:14:09.

it. An absolute picture perfect shot there. Dropped a drop kick over the

:14:10.:14:16.

shoulder and electronic sensor in the head gear registered but one

:14:17.:14:19.

there for Calvo Gomez. Jones goes for the head again and she scores

:14:20.:14:23.

and she is doing so well here. Calvo Gomez reeling and rocking. She has

:14:24.:14:28.

to find a way to compose. Tries the reverse turning kick, the Spanish

:14:29.:14:32.

fighter. This, a real battle. It's fantastic stuff. Calvo Gomez going

:14:33.:14:37.

for the big points, of course. And Jade Jones just keeping her

:14:38.:14:42.

composure. Under pressure but the Olympic champion here, defending her

:14:43.:14:46.

Olympic title and wow, is she doing it well? Look at those points there.

:14:47.:14:55.

15.7. And the time there for Calvo Gomez to try to do something. Well,

:14:56.:15:00.

has it gone? As we go into the last 20 seconds. Jade Jones there has a

:15:01.:15:04.

look at Paul Green and asks for the video replay. They do and indeed,

:15:05.:15:07.

they decide to replay it. Well, could it get any more dramatic?

:15:08.:15:09.

Let's have a listen. There you go, the face kick is the

:15:10.:15:18.

request. How important this could be. Yeah, I think so. For me, I saw

:15:19.:15:26.

the head go back. But good call. Let's have a look at it. Jones

:15:27.:15:29.

pushes forward with the first phase. And does she get it to the face? She

:15:30.:15:35.

does not. The video replay unsuccessful and the score board the

:15:36.:15:39.

same. 15 points to the good. Ten seconds left. Jones takes another.

:15:40.:15:43.

Calvo Gomez on the back foot. Can she do it one more time? The Olympic

:15:44.:15:53.

champion? The Welsh wonder strikes gold again. Double Olympic champion

:15:54.:16:00.

to the delight of the British fans and the Brazilian crowd. She takes

:16:01.:16:06.

Paul Green on to the mat. She said that because of him, she found a

:16:07.:16:11.

love for the sport again. And Paul Green never won. To take the

:16:12.:16:15.

plaudits but he takes the delight here. Double Olympic champion and it

:16:16.:16:22.

was his charge, the Welsh wonder, the fighter from Flint who produces

:16:23.:16:27.

a tremendous response. Calvo Gomez, a superb silver. Disappointed but

:16:28.:16:32.

beaten by a clear margin. Yes, by a clear margin and she absolutely kept

:16:33.:16:36.

her cool, didn't she? Jade Jones, that was brilliant stuff. And I

:16:37.:16:41.

mean, she just racked up the points. But credit to Calvo Gomez because

:16:42.:16:44.

she came back into it. She never gave up. She kept coming forward.

:16:45.:16:50.

Jade Jones in the end, though, double Olympic champion.

:16:51.:16:57.

A massive congratulations. You defended the Olympic crown. Can you

:16:58.:17:00.

sum up how it feels tonight? It feels unbelievable. I can't really

:17:01.:17:04.

explain. I didn't realise how much pressure I would feel coming into

:17:05.:17:08.

this. Even the first few matches, I felt so pressured and tense and to

:17:09.:17:13.

pull it off. You know, my coach is a psycho, so! It's all down to him.

:17:14.:17:18.

And you know, the gate Britain team trained so hard. And even there!

:17:19.:17:23.

Come on Paul, join in. You're a big part of the achievement tonight. Sum

:17:24.:17:27.

up what she's achieved. That wasn't just a small victory. She destroyed

:17:28.:17:32.

the field today? Yeah, she delivers under pressure. I've said it before.

:17:33.:17:37.

She's done it before. She's the most successful British athlete in

:17:38.:17:39.

taekwondo in history and probably ever will be and the achievement is

:17:40.:17:42.

fantastic. And double Olympic champion. She's done everything. Can

:17:43.:17:48.

I just say a huge thank you to the National Lottery for funding the

:17:49.:17:53.

taxpayers that funded Jade to do the sport and Gary Hall, legend of a

:17:54.:17:58.

boss and keeps the GB tib tib team together. Keeps all of this possible

:17:59.:18:04.

and Jade from your perspective. Injure journey in the last four

:18:05.:18:08.

years hasn't been easy to cope with the pressure and become an Olympic

:18:09.:18:11.

champion, but you turned it on. I'm still young. Only 23. To be double

:18:12.:18:15.

Olympic champion already is crazy. And I just can't believe it to be

:18:16.:18:19.

honest. You know, before the competition, I have anticipate been

:18:20.:18:22.

crying in the sessions and you know, you just can't see it happening

:18:23.:18:25.

because you're so stressed and training all the time. But you know,

:18:26.:18:29.

I did it when it moered mattered and I'm buzzing. Very different

:18:30.:18:33.

atmosphere to London 2012 and the home crowd there, but massive

:18:34.:18:36.

support for you tonight and that must have helped? Definitely, always

:18:37.:18:40.

helps a lot. My family and friends mean the world to me. So much

:18:41.:18:44.

support win or lose and that means a lot and everyone back home, I think

:18:45.:18:50.

that there's so many people in whatever the pub is called, you

:18:51.:18:55.

know, it's amazing, so much support. Massive congratulations to you both.

:18:56.:18:56.

Chears, thank you. Jade Jones. Jade Jones, Olympic

:18:57.:19:12.

champion 2016. What a wonderful feat. And she used those wonderful

:19:13.:19:23.

feet to score perfect points. And a picture perfect finish for Jade

:19:24.:19:27.

Jones. Tremendous performer. And she won it in London. She's won it again

:19:28.:19:35.

here. Double gold-medallist. Two times Olympic champion. Jade Jones

:19:36.:19:41.

and she will now observe the national anthem of Great Britain.

:19:42.:19:49.

VOICEOVER: Ladies and gentlemen, the national anthem of Great Britain.

:19:50.:19:58.

How does that feel Jade Jones? Double Olympic champion. That is an

:19:59.:20:44.

incredible story. It's been amazing story for Jade Jones. In a recent

:20:45.:20:47.

newspaper interview, she said that she grew up in a council house and

:20:48.:20:50.

used to have big scraps with the boys and used to beat them up.

:20:51.:20:54.

Unbelievable. Fantastic. And shortly after being presented with the gold

:20:55.:21:01.

medal, she spoke to our reporter. Well, Jade, congratulations again.

:21:02.:21:05.

Fresh off the podium, you now have the second career Olympic gold

:21:06.:21:08.

medal. Tell us how special it is? It's just surreal to be honest. I

:21:09.:21:12.

still can't believe it. From London and be Olympic champion and to do it

:21:13.:21:16.

again, I felt like I had so much pressure coming in. I didn't realise

:21:17.:21:20.

how much it would be. And to do it again is just surreal. How different

:21:21.:21:24.

was that pressure from four years ago because going in there as the

:21:25.:21:28.

defending champion, everyone expects so much more from you? I didn't

:21:29.:21:32.

actually realise how much pressure it would be. It was only until today

:21:33.:21:37.

that I thought - woah, this is a lot of pressure and just like pressure

:21:38.:21:40.

on myself because I know that I'm the best, but in taekwondo, it

:21:41.:21:43.

doesn't always work like that. And I just wanted to win so much. And I've

:21:44.:21:48.

trained so hard for four years. And you know, I just wanted to win and

:21:49.:21:52.

to finally do that is just amazing. You've spoken so much about how your

:21:53.:21:56.

life changed and your profile went through the roof after London 2012.

:21:57.:21:59.

Competing out there. You've had to change your style and adapt and went

:22:00.:22:03.

from being the hunter, very much to the hundreded. Yeah, and I don't

:22:04.:22:06.

think that people realise how hard it is. Mentally, physically. It's

:22:07.:22:14.

draining. Training all the time. And my coach, Paul Green, he has his

:22:15.:22:18.

training all the time and although we moan, that's what works. And I've

:22:19.:22:22.

got him to thank for it and just all my family and friends. And all my

:22:23.:22:25.

family that come here and everybody back home in Flint. And the support

:22:26.:22:30.

has just been amazing. Again. And you know in Brazil and I've only got

:22:31.:22:34.

ten family members but the whole stadium were cheering again and it's

:22:35.:22:38.

just unbelievable. An absolutely incredible achievement. Hold up the

:22:39.:22:41.

gold medal and everybody back home what it means? Thank you so much for

:22:42.:22:44.

the support. It means the absolute world. Thank you.

:22:45.:22:48.

That is amazing and knowing Flint as I do, they will be dancing on the

:22:49.:22:52.

streets there, let me tell you that. They'll be having a few quiet cheeky

:22:53.:22:55.

beers tonight and tomorrow after that. That is absolutely brilliant.

:22:56.:23:00.

Jade Jones and her Twitter profile, she's got 55,000 followers the last

:23:01.:23:03.

time that I looked and telephone says on her bio, "I kick people in

:23:04.:23:08.

the head for a living and I love it" and she's a double Olympic campion.

:23:09.:23:11.

Well done, and that is a remarkable story. Let's bring you up to date

:23:12.:23:19.

with all of today's headlines. As if it was ever in doubt, Usain

:23:20.:23:24.

Bolt claims the eighth Olympic gold medal in victory in the 200 metres

:23:25.:23:28.

in a race that he said afterwards could well be his last ever major

:23:29.:23:37.

championship. 200 metre contest. Britain finished fourth, just

:23:38.:23:42.

3,000ths of a second shy. Alastair BrownLee led home brother Johnny for

:23:43.:23:46.

the triathlon and made him the first man to retain the title. The first

:23:47.:23:51.

brothers to win Olympic gold and silver in the same event since 1960.

:23:52.:23:58.

After being frustrated by the weather yesterday, Hannah Mills and

:23:59.:24:08.

Saskia Clark finally able to celebrate. A thrilling silver medal

:24:09.:24:20.

for Liam Heath and Schofield. They got it in a photo finish to upgrade

:24:21.:24:24.

the bronze they won in London four years ago. And Marcus el I wills and

:24:25.:24:32.

Chris Langrid earn the first Olympic badminton medal for 12 years for the

:24:33.:24:35.

play off matches in the men's doubles. They were brilliant.

:24:36.:24:44.

We would absolutely love it if you stay with us here on BBC One. Don't

:24:45.:24:47.

go to bed yet because we have fantastic sport still to come. The

:24:48.:24:51.

women's gold medal matches coming up next and then this is going to be

:24:52.:24:54.

huge. You may be able to see just behind that graphic, at the end of

:24:55.:24:58.

Copacabana Beach is the wonderful arena for the beach volleyball. It

:24:59.:25:03.

is the men's final - Italy v Brazil. That is it. See that thing flashing

:25:04.:25:08.

at the end of Copacabana Beach. That is the beach volleyball venue. It is

:25:09.:25:15.

ter of course. We're going to take you -- terrific. We're going to take

:25:16.:25:22.

you now to the women's wrestling. Erica Elizabeth Vaby against

:25:23.:25:32.

Kazakhstan and the 63 kilo clash. We start with the 53 kilo final.

:25:33.:25:41.

Now we move to the gold medal match in the women's 53 kg wrestling and

:25:42.:25:48.

this promises to be some match. The 13 time World Champion. Yoshida

:25:49.:26:14.

has only been beaten twice in her career. And is unbeaten since 2012

:26:15.:26:25.

and even before 2012. That's the immense hurdle that has to be

:26:26.:26:26.

overcome to win the gold medal. Almost willing to concede the point

:26:27.:27:13.

there. She's now got the one point advantage. The point there. The

:27:14.:27:22.

referee deemed Marulize wasn't active enough in that preceding two

:27:23.:27:27.

minutes of wrestling. 15 seconds to go until the end of the first

:27:28.:27:28.

period. Even a period of wrestling which we

:27:29.:27:46.

can describe as cat and mouse, that was it. It's cagey at the moment.

:27:47.:27:56.

Just the one point in it. Maroulis, after the violation and dropped the

:27:57.:28:00.

point, she did start to go for it a little bit more in the last 15-20

:28:01.:28:06.

seconds or so. Whether that will lead to something channelling into

:28:07.:28:11.

the next period or not we'll have to wait and see but wouldn't be

:28:12.:28:18.

surprised to see Maroulis going there. Second period under way in

:28:19.:28:23.

the gold medal match in the women's 53 kg class in the freestyle

:28:24.:28:30.

wrestling. Yoshida of Japan in the red and Maroulis of the United

:28:31.:28:35.

States in blue. Yoshida trying to become the sixth athlete in Olympic

:28:36.:28:42.

history to win individual gold medal at four consecutive gold medals. Now

:28:43.:28:45.

Maroulis is going to get the points down there. Great play and she's not

:28:46.:28:51.

done with yet. She's going for a gut-wrench. To try to get two more

:28:52.:28:55.

points. The referee says - let's go back to the centre, we're out of

:28:56.:28:59.

play. Just something about the way that Maroulis came out at the start

:29:00.:29:02.

there. She was aggressive, she went for it. Picked her opportunity and

:29:03.:29:11.

took it. Very tidy wrestling. Now the Japanese wrestler needs to come

:29:12.:29:15.

from a deficit. She's down 2-1. Still plenty of time left. Two

:29:16.:29:24.

minutes and a fraction longer. Maroulis has defended superbly in

:29:25.:29:27.

this competition so far but Yoshida has all of that experience.

:29:28.:29:32.

Remember, she's not been defeated in four years of competition. Has only

:29:33.:29:40.

been defeated twice in her career. She's a 13-time World Champion,

:29:41.:29:45.

Yoshida, and has won three Olympic Games gold medals in a row. Maroulis

:29:46.:29:52.

has got the advantage with just over 90 seconds to play. But it's the

:29:53.:30:01.

slimmest of margins. Well, what this might come down to now is Maroulis

:30:02.:30:08.

managing to get the right balance. Being able to be defensive enough

:30:09.:30:12.

while still staying active. Not incurring any vailations. Yoshida,

:30:13.:30:18.

she will bide her time for a bit longer. There will be absolutely no

:30:19.:30:24.

panic from her. But at some point, she's going to have to flick the

:30:25.:30:32.

switch, but it won't just be yet. Maroulis commanding the centre.

:30:33.:30:38.

She's pushed her in. That's another point to the American. That was very

:30:39.:30:50.

clever play Maroulis. And now it's 4-1. It's been upgraded a point. So

:30:51.:30:57.

the lead really commanding now. That was really important because it

:30:58.:31:02.

requires a much bigger score now from Yoshida. Moving into the final

:31:03.:31:06.

45 seconds of the bout. So this is going to be interesting with 30

:31:07.:31:14.

seconds left she's got to go big. She's got to score a four pointer.

:31:15.:31:20.

Yoshida pushing Maroulis out. Might get a point. Might get two. But she

:31:21.:31:26.

needs more. She's got 28 seconds left to create

:31:27.:31:31.

some history at the Olympic Games, Yoshida. And match her compat riate

:31:32.:31:38.

from earlier in the wrestling programme. This could be her

:31:39.:31:45.

opportunity. Maroulis is very strong, though. Ten seconds

:31:46.:31:51.

remaining and it's looking doubtful. Maroulis just nine seconds away from

:31:52.:31:58.

an amazing win. The American has got it! For the first time in over four

:31:59.:32:14.

years, Yoshida is beaten. And Maroulis of the United States has

:32:15.:32:19.

created a big upset here on the mat. An unbelievable win against one of

:32:20.:32:26.

the greatest wrestlers of all time. And she's done it on the big est

:32:27.:32:32.

stage. A gold medal match at the Olympic Games. Maroulis, the

:32:33.:32:39.

24-year-old from Colorado Springs is the Olympic champion. And the legend

:32:40.:32:51.

of Yoshida. She falls one agonising time short on four consecutive gold

:32:52.:32:55.

medals at four Olympics. The winner - Maroulis of the United States. She

:32:56.:33:02.

wins the gold medal. Yoshida of Japan has to settle for the silver

:33:03.:33:05.

medal. You'd have to say on reflection that

:33:06.:33:16.

Maroulis was in control of that gold medal match. Much as we have to

:33:17.:33:20.

admit, I guess the majority of the fans here and worldwide perhaps

:33:21.:33:24.

would have loved to have seen Yoshida create a bit of history.

:33:25.:33:30.

Maroulis was a deserved winner. It has to be one of the most

:33:31.:33:35.

sensational examples of match management and of handling the

:33:36.:33:40.

occasion that you could ever hope to see on a wrestling mat. Time for the

:33:41.:33:59.

gold medal bout in the 63 kg weight class as Mamashuk takes on Kaway of

:34:00.:34:03.

Japan. She is the world number three. She

:34:04.:34:19.

is the world number four. They will go for the number one place on the

:34:20.:34:27.

podium. The gold medal bout. 63 kg. Mamashuk

:34:28.:34:38.

in the red and Kawai in the blue. Who will take the opportunities and

:34:39.:34:42.

secure the key points, the key take downs?

:34:43.:34:50.

And this was the event dominated by Icho until the change of weights and

:34:51.:34:56.

the number of events post London 2012. So this is a big, big one for

:34:57.:35:02.

Risako Kawai and she's wasting no time here going attacking. Attacking

:35:03.:35:07.

right from the start. Picking up the two points very early on there. And

:35:08.:35:11.

she might go even further here. She's going for the turn and trying

:35:12.:35:17.

to get more. Mamashuk goes for the protection zone. Just the two to

:35:18.:35:21.

start. Well, you think that Mamashuk is a very good defensive wrestler.

:35:22.:35:29.

We've seen that through her earlier matches but going up against Kawai

:35:30.:35:38.

is a different story entirely. She's just a bundle of energy. Not afraid

:35:39.:35:43.

at that attack and make an early commitment and that got her the two

:35:44.:35:46.

points. Maybe unsettling her opponent. Still a lot of wrestling

:35:47.:35:53.

to do in this one. Just inside the first minute and a half there.

:35:54.:36:07.

Good looking and a fast pace here. A lot of footwork. A lot of

:36:08.:36:16.

opportunities and a lot of missed opportunities not a lot of

:36:17.:36:19.

opportunities for a big score. And this is the big difference for

:36:20.:36:22.

Mamashuk from the earlier fights. She's been dictating the speed of

:36:23.:36:28.

the bouts. She's the one that's been controlling but now she's on the

:36:29.:36:33.

back foot. She's having her opponent dictate to her the pace. This is

:36:34.:36:36.

more of what queve' seen from Mamashuk, the slow and griping style

:36:37.:36:44.

of wrestling. This may be what she's got to do, is just slow things down.

:36:45.:36:49.

Goes for the leg there but Kawai quickly on it. Now, can Kawai turn

:36:50.:36:55.

this around into an attacking position by getting the rotation

:36:56.:37:01.

around. Mamashuk looks to defend. No - back up into standing.

:37:02.:37:09.

So far, as we approach the halfway point. Just a couple of points on

:37:10.:37:16.

the early take-down from Risako Kawai. Now the single leg attempt

:37:17.:37:28.

from Mamashuk. She's got a strategy there. The second time she's gone

:37:29.:37:32.

for it and the second time that Kawai has got the block in there.

:37:33.:37:35.

Tried to turn it into a position of control. End of the period. Well,

:37:36.:37:43.

Mamashuk did well to come back into that period. It was just a ferocious

:37:44.:37:51.

start from Kawai there. Mamashuk will have the knowledge that she can

:37:52.:37:55.

defend but she's going to have to attack if she wants the gold medal

:37:56.:38:00.

at some point during this next three minutes. It's where we get the

:38:01.:38:05.

interesting dilemma. The psychology for the Belarussian. She's got to

:38:06.:38:10.

attack but knowing that that will leave her open to counterattack and

:38:11.:38:14.

counterattack is one of the most important things in freestyle. And

:38:15.:38:25.

there's an opportunity, quick rotation around for Mamashuk. Stop

:38:26.:38:29.

Kawai getting behind her and getting twot points. Yeah, the skills were

:38:30.:38:37.

tested to the fullest extent there, Mamashuk. Unless she's like that all

:38:38.:38:44.

the time and Kawai will get around and score, holding on really tightly

:38:45.:38:49.

to the legs there to stop Kawai moving around and picking up the

:38:50.:38:53.

2-point control. She's defending well. Really well. But this is going

:38:54.:38:57.

to become exhausting after a while. Yes, stamina is going to come into

:38:58.:39:01.

play. Still two minutes to go. Doesn't sound like it's a long

:39:02.:39:07.

period of time but in wrestling terms, it's a long, long way to go

:39:08.:39:12.

yet. And there it is there. This is the one that's going to score too.

:39:13.:39:20.

But the single leg and looking for further here as she tries to turn,

:39:21.:39:29.

Mamashuk is in difficulty now. This is where Kawai is proving relentless

:39:30.:39:33.

but the referee interseeds. So four now is the advantage moving into the

:39:34.:39:39.

last minute and a half and that's where it's looking difficult. Kawai

:39:40.:39:44.

so quick. And going in there. Still a little bit more speed is one of

:39:45.:39:50.

the major reasons she's in front heading into this last 90 seconds.

:39:51.:39:58.

It's the natural movement with Kawai that's so impressive. She gets

:39:59.:40:02.

around the back so far and she establishes a 90 degree movement so

:40:03.:40:05.

quickly and now going again for the leg. Mamashuk is trying to defend

:40:06.:40:11.

it. Trying to defend it. Now, this is one where they've both got to be

:40:12.:40:19.

incred careful here. Yes, Mamashuk could easily turn this into an

:40:20.:40:26.

attacking if she can turn her opponent over. That's what she's

:40:27.:40:32.

trying to do and as a result, Kawai is now defending, defending really,

:40:33.:40:36.

really hard here. Nothing doing there. Got to a stalemate. Now we're

:40:37.:40:41.

going to go back up to standing but that was a window of opportunity

:40:42.:40:46.

there potentially as we move into the last 40 seconds. Goes for the

:40:47.:40:51.

single leg. Kawai defending. Just backed away from that very nicely

:40:52.:40:59.

and just shut it down. Time is the enemy now for Mamashuk. Kawai that

:41:00.:41:05.

time didn't need to try to move around and establish the score. She

:41:06.:41:09.

just seemed to be happy to hold on there. Just a push away and now

:41:10.:41:19.

another two points. It's the six and that with ten seconds to go has got

:41:20.:41:28.

to be enough for Risako Kawai. Time elapses and she just holds Mamashuk

:41:29.:41:33.

down there on the mat. Pretty soon she'll be holding a gold medal in

:41:34.:41:40.

her hands. The 21-year-old from Japan has secured another gold medal

:41:41.:41:46.

for Japan here in women's freestyle wrestling. Well, she controlled that

:41:47.:42:01.

one throughout. Yeah, she sure did. That explosive start set the

:42:02.:42:09.

standards. Oh! Well, we have seen him lifted up on the shoulders

:42:10.:42:12.

there. We've not seen him thrown down there! That's a bit harsh on

:42:13.:42:24.

the coach there. No, that's better! That's more where he's used to being

:42:25.:42:37.

in there. Well, not only is she an outstanding wrestler but a great

:42:38.:42:39.

sense of humour as well. I'm glad that he was the victim of the falls

:42:40.:42:50.

and not you or I! Well, that leaves just the one match to come and it is

:42:51.:42:56.

for the gold medal in the women's 75 kg class here at Rio 2016.

:42:57.:43:17.

Here they come. The 27-year-old from Calgary. Commonwealth Games

:43:18.:43:32.

gold-medallist from gloss go. The world number two. -- Glasgow.

:43:33.:43:42.

Two extremely well matched competitors. Massive risks will have

:43:43.:43:47.

to be taken in order to secure the gold medal here. Just a question of

:43:48.:43:51.

who can execute the risks most successfully and who is willing to

:43:52.:43:57.

be the most attacking here. The last thing that you want in a gold medal

:43:58.:44:02.

contest is to lose something by a violation. Manyurova has been so

:44:03.:44:18.

close to winning big competitions. She's been a long campaigner in the

:44:19.:44:22.

sport of women's freestyle wrestling. She too will not want to

:44:23.:44:37.

give up the opportunity easily. Coming up to the 90 second mark in

:44:38.:44:41.

this first period of two. And there goes Manyurova. Now Wiebe has turned

:44:42.:44:47.

it around. And she's just in the field of play. She's got two points.

:44:48.:44:52.

This is a big moment in this gold medal match. Wiebe desperately

:44:53.:44:57.

trying to keep her opponent in the wrestling area. And that is some

:44:58.:45:04.

escape by Kazakhstan's Manyurova. Well, for a moment, that looked like

:45:05.:45:08.

it was going to be the end of the contest. So quickly. Beautifully

:45:09.:45:12.

done there by Wiebe. Fantastic wrestling. But equally, very, very

:45:13.:45:20.

resilient defensive work for the wrestler from Kazakhstan.

:45:21.:45:26.

One minute left in the first period. The Canadian up by 2-0 at the

:45:27.:45:31.

moment. Let's just remember, you can be

:45:32.:45:46.

warned and penalised for pacifity. They need it stay active otherwise.

:45:47.:45:54.

Could be conceding penalty points. That's something that Manyurova does

:45:55.:46:01.

not want to do now. Wiebe pretty much looking for the attack to the

:46:02.:46:08.

feet. And the legs. Almost getting caught there with the leg take down.

:46:09.:46:12.

But just laying down a marker there, Wiebe. She wasn't far away from

:46:13.:46:17.

getting it. She's very quick and strong defensively. Here she goes,

:46:18.:46:25.

Manyurova trying to attack the midsection again. Look at the

:46:26.:46:35.

strength of Wiebe. She's asking some serious questions here of Manyurova

:46:36.:46:40.

end of the first period here. It's 2-0 to Erica Wiebe of Canada. Into

:46:41.:46:48.

the second period now. Manyurova has really got to attack hard. Her

:46:49.:46:53.

attitude has been excellent so far as we start the second period but

:46:54.:46:58.

Wiebe has just been a little bit too strong for her. So far, stamina is

:46:59.:47:03.

going to come into play here as well.

:47:04.:47:08.

There's the two-point take down. That is the perfect start to the

:47:09.:47:15.

second period for the Canadian. Now she wants to capitalise on this

:47:16.:47:19.

position but she's not going to get the opportunity. We're in a

:47:20.:47:26.

stalemate situation. That's beautiful. Just so well timed. Wiebe

:47:27.:47:33.

has been visualising this moment for four years and she actually did go

:47:34.:47:38.

to London as a training partner for another Canadian. She managed to

:47:39.:47:43.

sneak out on to the mat when no-one else was there and sneak out there

:47:44.:47:48.

and visualise what is going to happen to her in the future at an

:47:49.:47:53.

Olympic Games and here we are four years later and she's just two

:47:54.:47:58.

minutes away from realising that dream. Manyurova, though, remember,

:47:59.:48:09.

has been so close to winning gold m major championships before. She's 38

:48:10.:48:20.

years of age. Wiebe still doing a very good defensive job here.

:48:21.:48:31.

Wiebe looking to it. Needs to score one more time to give herself a bit

:48:32.:48:52.

of breathing space. Just has to be careful, though, because her

:48:53.:48:56.

opponent is very experienced and could easily do what Wiebe did to

:48:57.:49:04.

her in that first period. Wiebe just continuing to work away. Shut down

:49:05.:49:11.

any attack. Any threat that her opponent may go for. Just went for

:49:12.:49:16.

the legs there and Manyurova there. But Wiebe backing away and down to

:49:17.:49:22.

the legs there. Just batting that one off there really skilfully.

:49:23.:49:27.

Manyurova, her stamina is coming under question. The attack must be

:49:28.:49:34.

running there and she's certainly looking fatigued as we enter the

:49:35.:49:39.

last 20 seconds. Wiebe has another 2-point take down. She's moments

:49:40.:49:50.

away now, Erica Wiebe. Just 14 seconds away from gold Canada. Erica

:49:51.:49:58.

Wiebe on the cusp here of winning Canada's gold medal here in the

:49:59.:50:04.

women's freestyle wrestling. It is gold to Canada. Erica Wiebe, the

:50:05.:50:14.

27-year-old world number two Commonwealth Games gold-medallist

:50:15.:50:17.

from two years ago in Glasgow has gone to the top of the world in

:50:18.:50:33.

2016. Too strong for her opponent, Guzel Manyurova of Kazakhstan. She

:50:34.:50:39.

can walk down the steps. She's tried her best. Just simply outclassed by

:50:40.:50:48.

a better wrestler on the day. Erica Wiebe wins Canada's second gold in

:50:49.:50:56.

women's freestyle wrestling. To go with Carol Hun who won one back in

:50:57.:51:01.

2008 in the 48 kg class. But it's all about Wiebe right now.

:51:02.:51:05.

Another very entertaining night in the wrestling. We've seen some

:51:06.:51:08.

wonderful celebrations in the wrestling. That is the scene at the

:51:09.:51:12.

beach volleyball arena. The Copacabana stadium. Slightly drizzly

:51:13.:51:17.

out there tonight which is rather unfortunate, but it is the men's

:51:18.:51:20.

gold medal match that we will be bringing you live between Italy

:51:21.:51:27.

against Brazil. It is live at 12:00. That is 4:00 your time, of course.

:51:28.:51:32.

Before we go any further, let's bring you right up to date with this

:51:33.:51:35.

swimming story which is developing over the last 24 hours. No doubt

:51:36.:51:39.

you'll have read about it in the newspapers and probably heard about

:51:40.:51:43.

it on television and radio involving four Olympic swimmers from the US

:51:44.:51:47.

team, most notably Ryan Lochte. In the past half an hour, the US

:51:48.:51:50.

Olympic Committee have issued a statement. It is quite long so I'll

:51:51.:51:54.

just pick out the various interesting bits of it. But

:51:55.:52:01.

basically, what the US OC CEO Scott Blackman has said in the last half

:52:02.:52:06.

an hour. "Two US swimmers have given statements to local authorities

:52:07.:52:09.

today on that incident that occurred first on Sunday. The passports have

:52:10.:52:13.

been released and they have just departed Rio. After providing a

:52:14.:52:18.

statement earlier in the weeks", you will remember James Fagan was caught

:52:19.:52:22.

up in this. "He provided a revised statement this evening with the hope

:52:23.:52:27.

of securing the release of his passport as soon as possible." So

:52:28.:52:31.

the statement goes on to say, "This is what happened, they describe the

:52:32.:52:39.

events as follows." Four athletes "left France house early in the

:52:40.:52:43.

morning on August 14 in a taxi heading to the Olympic village. They

:52:44.:52:46.

stopped at a gas station to use the rest room. One of the athletes

:52:47.:52:51.

committed an act of vandalism which obviously wasn't reported the first

:52:52.:52:56.

time." Basically, an argument ensued then between the athletes and two

:52:57.:53:00.

armed gas station security staff who displayed the weapons. This is all

:53:01.:53:04.

in the statement there. Ordered the athletes from the vehicle and

:53:05.:53:07.

demanded that they provide a monetary payment. Once the security

:53:08.:53:10.

officials received money from the athlete, they were allowed to leave.

:53:11.:53:13.

This is the key part and this is what will be reported on television

:53:14.:53:16.

and radio and newspapers. "The behaviour of athletes from the US

:53:17.:53:20.

team is not acceptable. It does not represent the values of Team USA or

:53:21.:53:24.

the conduct of the vast majority of the members. We will further review

:53:25.:53:29.

the matter and any potential consequences for the athletes when

:53:30.:53:33.

we return to the United States. On behalf of the US Olympic Committee,"

:53:34.:53:37.

says the statement, "We apologise to our wonderful hosts in Rio. Also to

:53:38.:53:42.

the people of Brazil for this distracting ordeal in the midst of

:53:43.:53:49.

what should rightly be a celebration of excellence." "With three days

:53:50.:53:53.

remaining in the Olympic Games, the primary focus is supporting the

:53:54.:53:57.

athletes who are still competing in the Olympic Games and celebrating

:53:58.:54:00.

the achievements of those who have finished." Let's have a look at some

:54:01.:54:03.

of the newspapers and how they're reporting this story. This is the

:54:04.:54:08.

New York Post and this is a really interesting headline. That is Ryan

:54:09.:54:13.

Lochte "the Ugly American". Look at the top left of that. That is a

:54:14.:54:17.

popular newspaper in the United States. "Liar, liar, speedo on

:54:18.:54:21.

fire". Let's also show you. And obviously some of the newspapers

:54:22.:54:23.

will not be running the statement that we've just had in. But

:54:24.:54:30.

obviously later editions will. "The Lochte mess monster". "Swimmers

:54:31.:54:37.

trashed gas station potty." "Rio cops seek indictment for Ryan pal,

:54:38.:54:43.

lies". There you are, you're completely up to date with the

:54:44.:54:46.

Lochte and US swimming team story. Now let's go to the sport and we'll

:54:47.:54:52.

show you what happened in the women's ten metre platform final.

:54:53.:54:56.

Britain represented by Tonia Couch and lots of Chinese interest here.

:54:57.:55:03.

Tonia Couch diving her best. This would be a good start if she can get

:55:04.:55:08.

this with a forward three and a half.

:55:09.:55:13.

You can see this dive, it's interesting that she's deciding to

:55:14.:55:15.

start with it. It isn't her best dive. She would have upgraded to

:55:16.:55:22.

eight and 8.5s but sadly goes away with 7.5s and 7s. Work to do. The

:55:23.:55:32.

Canadians are in town. There's lots of support for Benifeito. Well, she

:55:33.:55:37.

has saved the best for the final. This is a game of tactics. Meghan

:55:38.:55:45.

opting to open with one of her most complicated dives. Wow, 8.5s

:55:46.:55:50.

across-the-board. Hello 81 points. First of twot Chinese. For Ren Chen.

:55:51.:55:59.

Yes, so just 15 years old. And here she is opening up her campaign with

:56:00.:56:06.

an exceptional dive. Not quite as good as Meghan Benifeito but not too

:56:07.:56:07.

far shy. 78. Yes. Indeed. Oh, she has opened up there with a

:56:08.:56:20.

beautiful dive following on Jessica's forward 3.5 in the pipe

:56:21.:56:25.

The entry there isn't quite as good. There are the marks and there is

:56:26.:56:32.

nothing to chose between one and joint second at the moment. That's

:56:33.:56:38.

how it looks after the first round. So Canada in front. Now, Tonia

:56:39.:56:45.

Couch, arm stand back double somersault. One and a half twists.

:56:46.:56:50.

Oh, it's a beautiful dive from Tonia Couch. This is what we referred to

:56:51.:56:56.

as a splashless entry as she's in fantastic shape. 67.20. Tonia Couch

:56:57.:57:03.

did 65.6 earlier so both of her opening dives are better than they

:57:04.:57:10.

were this morning. Now to move on to Ren Qian of China in with the tuck

:57:11.:57:15.

for the first of the two Chinese we'll see. Super clean again. So

:57:16.:57:20.

classy all the way through. Lines coming her way. No tens. Woah, 85

:57:21.:57:30.

now and 84.8. So she's certainly got the highest score. Well exactly the

:57:31.:57:38.

same as Ren. Beautiful take-off. Beautiful aerial work. Just a

:57:39.:57:43.

fraction over rotating. 9s. Nine, nine, nine. No emergency yet for Si

:57:44.:57:51.

Yajie. She's comfortably at the top. Where are we and who is there? So it

:57:52.:57:59.

is China 1-2 but the top five separated by ten points after rounds

:58:00.:58:04.

two. Now let's turn our attention to Tonia Couch. Oh. What a shame. She's

:58:05.:58:12.

been having a bit of difficulty with this dive. Yeah, afraid with 64 and

:58:13.:58:20.

67 and now 52. She's going to be way off the pack now. Second placed at

:58:21.:58:28.

the moment. Here's Ren for China. Back three and a half. Once again,

:58:29.:58:34.

3.3. Wow, I think we've seen our first ten. Twinkle toes needs to

:58:35.:58:39.

point her toes but that is the dive of the meet so far. 90 points plus.

:58:40.:58:46.

Yes. Yes, we've had loads of 80s and I've been looking at those and

:58:47.:58:50.

getting very enthusiastic but we've gone through the 90 barrier into the

:58:51.:58:55.

94 region, 94.05. Si of China. Arm stand back

:58:56.:59:04.

somersault and one and a half twists.

:59:05.:59:07.

Wow, like for like. This is outstanding. What a competition this

:59:08.:59:16.

is. First class and the two Chinese teenagers are the cut above. This is

:59:17.:59:26.

9s coming Si's way and she will be right up there next to Qian. It's a

:59:27.:59:32.

change in place with Ren going first. On to Tonia Couch. Back two

:59:33.:59:38.

and a half somersaults and one and a half twists. That's really good from

:59:39.:59:43.

Tonia. It's a great, great dive. But she has left herself too much to do

:59:44.:59:48.

here to challenge. This will be good enough to get herself off the bottom

:59:49.:59:53.

spot in this final. Yeah, normally when she's diving at her very best,

:59:54.:59:58.

her pinnacle, loads of smiles and loads of waves. A bit more of a grim

:59:59.:00:04.

as there from Tonia. And here is our leader. Oh! Another one. Wow. Ren,

:00:05.:00:15.

only 15 years old. Absolutely no deviation from upright. Splashless.

:00:16.:00:21.

There's got to be a ten for me. We're seeing a diving masterclass

:00:22.:00:24.

out here from the 15-year-old Ren. Sorry to laugh when I say that.

:00:25.:00:30.

Well, Tom Daley was World Champion at 15, of course. OK only one diver

:00:31.:00:37.

can overtake Ren. But it needs to be 10s, though. Well, it's not going to

:00:38.:00:43.

be 10s. It's a top notch effort from Si who has been outclassed and at

:00:44.:00:46.

the moment, Ren has the upper hand. Gap opening up a little bit now,

:00:47.:00:51.

isn't it? Yeah, there is a considerable gap between the two

:00:52.:00:57.

Chinese with the mark of 79.20. The 12-point swing. Not gone quite as we

:00:58.:01:06.

would have wanted or the coach would have wanted for Tonia Couch but this

:01:07.:01:10.

is her favourite dive. Reverse two and a half for Tonia Couch to

:01:11.:01:15.

finish. Yes, it's a magnificent finish for

:01:16.:01:22.

Tonia. Low degree of difficulty at 2.8. She does this dive so well.

:01:23.:01:25.

Sadly not on the A game this evening. She would have been further

:01:26.:01:29.

up the pack but she is Olympic finalist and she's been in the top

:01:30.:01:33.

ten at every World Championships since 2009 and she's had a fantastic

:01:34.:01:37.

career to date. Well done Tonia. Give us a wave. So, is it the

:01:38.:01:42.

15-year-old who is going to go first? Ren Qain. She has the lead.

:01:43.:01:51.

Oh, it's phenomenal. My word. That is your Olympic gold-medallist

:01:52.:01:55.

without a shadow of a doubt. She's only 15 years old. 91 points and

:01:56.:02:01.

what a succession of scores. I need to read them to you. 78, 84, 94, 91,

:02:02.:02:09.

91. So, so classy. All the way through. Well, it should be

:02:10.:02:15.

relatively straight forward now for the silver. For Si. She cannot catch

:02:16.:02:22.

Ren. Sixes will do it. Sixes for silver for a Chinese 1-2.

:02:23.:02:29.

Yes. Chinese 1-2 as we suspected. You've won it, Ren. You're 15 and

:02:30.:02:36.

Olympic champion. Your team-mate here in action has dived so, so well

:02:37.:02:41.

and just been outdived by her younger team-mate. Absolutely

:02:42.:02:46.

amazing display by a 15-year-old and indeed by a 17-year-old as well.

:02:47.:02:50.

Both from China. And Tonia Couch, well it wasn't her day.

:02:51.:03:03.

Very entertaining day, once again, in the pool. Let's show you what's

:03:04.:03:08.

been happening in the track and field, because there's been another

:03:09.:03:13.

gold medal, the main headline is in the Decathalon. The reining champion

:03:14.:03:23.

and world record holder is in front. Cruising home, showing his class,

:03:24.:03:29.

once again. The ultimate athlete at the track and field. An amazing

:03:30.:03:38.

event. We have great memories of the declath long, watching Daley Thomas.

:03:39.:03:43.

He's emulated Thompson by winning back-to-back Olympic titles.

:03:44.:03:47.

Congratulations that man! OK. Time for us to focus on the beach

:03:48.:03:50.

volleyball. This is where it is happening. It is at the end of

:03:51.:03:55.

Copacabana Beach, at the end of the iconic beach right here. It is going

:03:56.:03:59.

to be a fantastic final. It has to be Italy against Brazil. Look at it!

:04:00.:04:11.

There is lots of radmatass. Whatever happens, they will be having one

:04:12.:04:14.

heck of a party! CHEERING

:04:15.:04:25.

What an atmosphere! Listen to this! CHEERING

:04:26.:04:40.

Wow! Yes! Oh! We will have some of this! They have set the bar high to

:04:41.:04:52.

start this men's gold medal match! Fantastic dig. What a get by Bruno!

:04:53.:04:59.

Right when you think the set is over and it is trouble and the math moth

:05:00.:05:06.

is going to -- mamott will take care of business, Nicolai cobras it to

:05:07.:05:17.

the back corner. Good reactions from Bruno. Cross-court. Kept it up! Wow!

:05:18.:05:23.

They are going for another challenge. They are going to argue

:05:24.:05:29.

that that ball that brun know cut -- Bruno cut short was down, that it

:05:30.:05:34.

hit the sand. Paolo... A challenge... .. ..Nicolai creates

:05:35.:05:43.

that play and then Lupo gets just under it. Hard to tell from that

:05:44.:05:53.

camera angle. It is. That cut shot was dirty!

:05:54.:05:59.

The challenge coming in here, but they won't allow the challenge to

:06:00.:06:15.

the last one. Correct. They are restricted on their challenges. If

:06:16.:06:19.

it is a judgment call, like a handset, for example, or a ball

:06:20.:06:26.

down, ball-up, those are judgment calls by the referees that they are

:06:27.:06:32.

not allowed to challenge. That one, the ball in-bull out, you can

:06:33.:06:37.

challenge ball touch and net fault. Those are all allowed. But, say, a

:06:38.:06:42.

double contact on a set, those are not. The rain is really falling here

:06:43.:06:48.

now on Copacabana. It is a shame, because it's been such a fantastic

:06:49.:06:58.

competition. It isn't seeming to dampen the crowd's enthusiasm,

:06:59.:07:01.

although if this set continues the way it is going, that will dampen

:07:02.:07:06.

the crowds' use that. Not what we were expecting to be viewing for a

:07:07.:07:16.

beach volleyball final in Brazil on Copacabana Beach. We will play beach

:07:17.:07:22.

volleyball at night, in the rain. It adds to the drama. Time out Brazil.

:07:23.:07:27.

What a start by these two! They couldn't - if you had said to them,

:07:28.:07:32.

"Give us your dream start", it might have been 6-0 or 5-0, but 5-1, you

:07:33.:07:38.

take your hand off for... Serving and blocking going hand in hand.

:07:39.:07:44.

Nicolai is doing both of that. He's created two overpasses, and he's

:07:45.:07:52.

gotten a clean ace. I wouldn't take too much shelter under the flag. I

:07:53.:07:56.

won't keep you dry for long. He may as well just embrace it. There is no

:07:57.:08:01.

shelter. Yeah! Go ahead and surrender - that guy has got it -

:08:02.:08:03.

dance it off! CHEERING

:08:04.:08:09.

The time-out usually employed to try and take the heat out of your

:08:10.:08:19.

opponent's game. Well, the service fault from Paola Nicolai is the

:08:20.:08:21.

result of the first point. Daniele Lupo gets them both. The

:08:22.:08:45.

thing with an avms like this from the Italian perspective, is they

:08:46.:08:49.

will either get swamped or lift them to such levels that Brazil will have

:08:50.:08:53.

a real job on their hands. APPLAUSE

:08:54.:09:00.

Some people thrive on the road, some people thrive at home.

:09:01.:09:04.

It would be interesting to see how they interact with the crowd. In

:09:05.:09:10.

previous matches, he's been geeing them up, getting them involved. We

:09:11.:09:13.

haven't seen any of that. He might do... Oh! There we go! He is off!

:09:14.:09:20.

The albatross! Flapping his arms. (LAUGHTER)

:09:21.:09:26.

Right! Did Daniele Lupo get a facial? No, off the shoulder. Lupo

:09:27.:09:33.

get a facial? No, off the shoulder. He's getting them involved again!

:09:34.:09:35.

CHEERING Well, that is the result of the

:09:36.:09:51.

first block. They went higher and harder with the second set, or

:09:52.:09:55.

higher with the second set, hardware the second spike -- harder with the

:09:56.:10:00.

second spite. Great cover by Nicolai out of that block, but his arm just

:10:01.:10:04.

got a little bit long. He has to keep it tight and compact.

:10:05.:10:11.

He fancies these blocks. They are setting it nice and close to the

:10:12.:10:22.

net. It is going to him a chance. These balls are starting to get wet,

:10:23.:10:27.

so balls that you can get a real sticky good touch on are going to

:10:28.:10:30.

get a little bit slippery. . Good dig! Nicolai can't keep it

:10:31.:10:36.

alive! Having a discussion with the

:10:37.:11:15.

referee. So smart! Such calm play by the Italians. Let me get my second

:11:16.:11:22.

opportunity here and let the big guy place it.

:11:23.:11:34.

Oh! Lupo! That first dig was outrageous! Going way to his

:11:35.:11:46.

left-hand side. Somehow he gets the right hand to it! Lupo seems to are

:11:47.:11:53.

the right tension in his - in his muscles, I guess, is what I'm trying

:11:54.:11:58.

to say, just enough loose and fluidity to it, and off tension to

:11:59.:12:03.

where he's getting balls up and he's being aggressive. Alison! Gets his

:12:04.:12:14.

first block of the match and the crowd enjoyed that one!

:12:15.:12:15.

CHEERING Here they go! Making his presence

:12:16.:12:22.

known. It was just a matter of time until you get that first one under

:12:23.:12:28.

your belt. Revving them up. Monster block! And they all get involved.

:12:29.:12:44.

Yep! Reaching behind him! CHEERING

:12:45.:12:53.

He rolls it into the corner. Brazil have come from 1-5 down to 9-7 - 9-8

:12:54.:13:00.

up, sorry. Bruno's angles are incredible! Not only is he a

:13:01.:13:07.

wonderful defender, but his transition attack, he's got to be a

:13:08.:13:13.

1.5-2m off the net. Sometimes you come into the gold

:13:14.:13:33.

matches and we have discussed it before we came on air. We get all

:13:34.:13:37.

excited about it. Sometimes the match never really lives up to that

:13:38.:13:41.

expectation. We have had a fantastic start here! Just the fact that Italy

:13:42.:13:45.

went out to a 5-1 lead just sets it up. You are right. Every match takes

:13:46.:13:50.

on a life of its own. It is a riddle that needs to be solved, it is a

:13:51.:13:53.

matter of who was the wherewithal and the presence of mind to solve

:13:54.:13:59.

that riddle within the 21 points. You have to do that twice.

:14:00.:14:11.

As much as you can prepare your side of the net, you never know what's

:14:12.:14:20.

going to show up on the other side. Looking at those super slow-mos -

:14:21.:14:25.

yep! Again. You go too close to the net, that man invariably gets up and

:14:26.:14:28.

gets his hands on the ball. Here they go again! That's the monster

:14:29.:14:32.

block salute! CHEERING

:14:33.:14:48.

Good leave. Technical time-out. First one of the match. Technical

:14:49.:15:03.

time-outs, when the total points get to 21, and it's the closest it can

:15:04.:15:09.

be, a 1-point lead for Alison and Bruno. This young man, his uncle,

:15:10.:15:16.

the most decorated - or one of the most decorated - Brazilian athletes

:15:17.:15:25.

in Olympic history. Yeah. He competed at five Olympic Games in

:15:26.:15:30.

basketball, never got further than the quarterfinals, though. But his

:15:31.:15:37.

nephew is going to win a medal. Oscar Schmidt, the uncle,

:15:38.:15:41.

unofficially basketball's leading point scorer. Want to hazard a guess

:15:42.:15:44.

how many he scored for internationally? It is a hell of a

:15:45.:15:48.

lot. Yeah? 49,737! LAUGHTER

:15:49.:16:00.

Goodness! I would like to know Bruno's dig stats in that capacity.

:16:01.:16:06.

Yeah. He is some way short of 50,000, I would imagine! But bear in

:16:07.:16:11.

mind, one dig is worth one! True. Good point.

:16:12.:16:19.

LAUGHTER He wants more noise!

:16:20.:16:34.

CHEERING O'! Wow! What a rally! Brilliant

:16:35.:16:42.

rally! CHEERING

:16:43.:16:48.

Another play become out of the block by Lupo, tries to just touch it,

:16:49.:16:52.

play it back, give him another chance. But Bruno... On one! I tell

:16:53.:17:01.

you what - it is a good job there is no roof on the stadium - I don't

:17:02.:17:05.

mean it because I like seeing people getting wet - but otherwise everyone

:17:06.:17:08.

would have hearing problems tomorrow!

:17:09.:17:10.

LAUGHTER Sitting too close to the speakers!

:17:11.:17:16.

The noise in here is absolutely incredible!

:17:17.:17:21.

That rain is steady. Yeah. It isn't going anywhere, I don't think. It

:17:22.:17:42.

isn't due to, nay. Good choppy cross body. Lupo opened up his shoulders

:17:43.:17:48.

to the line. Kind of a bit of a decoy and then chopped across

:17:49.:17:54.

cross-body. Caught his hat to boot. BOOING

:17:55.:17:59.

If his hat falls into the net, is that a net violation? No.

:18:00.:18:05.

CHEERING Everyone is at it! Double block by

:18:06.:18:11.

Nicolai! It isn't enough. CHEERING

:18:12.:18:16.

You give that guy too many chances, he's going to find a way to find the

:18:17.:18:29.

sand. Great ball control, great net play. And then wonderful placement

:18:30.:18:35.

on about a 60% swing. All that effort by Nicolai comes to nothing.

:18:36.:18:42.

But it just adds to the drama of the occasion. This time, he gets his

:18:43.:18:49.

reward. It does. Certain things like how many times you jump - of course,

:18:50.:18:54.

this is a gold medal match. All those type of things leave the mind.

:18:55.:18:59.

You leave it all out there, no question. But the energy that you

:19:00.:19:07.

are exerting per play could have effect later on. That's Nicolai.

:19:08.:19:12.

Nicolai, for all his defensive efforts, had only got one successful

:19:13.:19:16.

block in the match. They are a triumph crowd to please, the stats

:19:17.:19:21.

people! Lovely! A cross-court spike. It has to be for point for it to

:19:22.:19:27.

count as a block. It is, especially the way Beth of these team -- Beth

:19:28.:19:32.

of these teams are covering. I think that's what's so impressive.

:19:33.:19:43.

Second ball goes over. The one thing that they don't have to contend with

:19:44.:19:49.

here tonight are the -- that the women had to contend with last night

:19:50.:19:53.

is the wind. The wind at least isn't strong and that makes for a fairer

:19:54.:19:58.

game, if you like, more consistent flight to the ball.

:19:59.:19:59.

CHEERING . Absolutely. The women were dealing

:20:00.:20:05.

with some howling winds, and the side that Alison and Bruno are on

:20:06.:20:10.

now has been pretty consistently "the bad side". That is all

:20:11.:20:15.

perspective, but it's... The harder side. The more difficult, yes, yes,

:20:16.:20:19.

yes. You want to embrace each side. Good side, good side is what we tell

:20:20.:20:27.

ourselves! He is there again! CHEERING

:20:28.:20:31.

As much as they had to embrace the wind and make it their friend, same

:20:32.:20:34.

thing tonight - they have got to embrace the rain and make it their

:20:35.:20:38.

friend, get real comfortable with it.

:20:39.:20:43.

The pendulum starts to sway again towards Italy. We saw Brazil under

:20:44.:21:09.

the pump early. They came from 1-5 town to lead. Then Italy having to

:21:10.:21:14.

make up a three-point deficit. Well, they have it back to one. Oh! A

:21:15.:21:23.

souvenir! They have it back to all square, although it will be one if

:21:24.:21:29.

Brazil's side out, but that is the - that is an error. Nicolai is on

:21:30.:21:38.

his... He is drinking in the air, isn't he?

:21:39.:21:38.

LAUGHTER Wow! That's been hit and it stays

:21:39.:21:43.

hit. Just scorched. More of that, please!

:21:44.:22:01.

LAUGHTER 18-18. After a ball like that, to

:22:02.:22:27.

harness that adrenaline and go back and serve a float serve - from that

:22:28.:22:31.

guy's size is like shooting a free throw after laying down a monster

:22:32.:22:41.

dunk. Missed that. Italy lead. By one. He is getting into the game. A

:22:42.:22:48.

big point, this. CHEERING

:22:49.:22:55.

. Wow! Big points from now to the end of the first set. We are going

:22:56.:23:00.

to get points from here on in. Still advantage with Italy. Oh!

:23:01.:23:23.

Heaven's above - she has that one wrong. Huh! He has got that one very

:23:24.:23:29.

wrong. Not too dissimilar to the one hit earlier. What goes around comes

:23:30.:23:32.

around. First set point, Brazil. They have to be going for each

:23:33.:23:36.

other's high hands. They are both playing at such a high level.

:23:37.:23:42.

Time-out called. Make them think about it, just a little bit longer.

:23:43.:23:53.

More than that. They just want them to think about it. Nothing said

:23:54.:24:00.

between the Italian pair. It's even. I mean, not just within the score,

:24:01.:24:05.

and we have been going point for point, but they know each other

:24:06.:24:08.

extremely well. They are running down balls, they are all in the

:24:09.:24:12.

right place. They are challenging each other in very similar ways.

:24:13.:24:20.

That's the ninth time these two have met each other. Al sob and brown --

:24:21.:24:25.

Alison and Bruno leave the series 5-3. But the last Lupo-Nicolai win

:24:26.:24:33.

was five matches ago. In fact, they have won three of the first four,

:24:34.:24:38.

Lupo and Nicolai. They have lost the last four.

:24:39.:24:41.

CHEERING Set point number 1 is all they need!

:24:42.:24:50.

Brazil! They are halfway to the gold medal!

:24:51.:24:51.

CHEERING They have taken the first set 21-19.

:24:52.:24:58.

There is a challenge coming. This must be for a net violation. This

:24:59.:25:10.

would put a dampener on the crowd's enthuse am -- enthusiasm. Some boos.

:25:11.:25:14.

Well, you would. Didn't see anything - no it's the ball into the net.

:25:15.:25:22.

CHEERING Good discipline by Alison! Can't

:25:23.:25:29.

blame them for trying. But they are halfway to the gold medal. Opening

:25:30.:25:36.

set go Brazil's way - 21-19. This is a belter of a match!

:25:37.:26:16.

Here are the first set stats. Well, it is a desperately, desperately

:26:17.:26:27.

close affair. What jumped out at me was that Bruno has six digs. He's

:26:28.:26:37.

definitely leading that category. CROWD SINGING) Brazil get this

:26:38.:26:42.

second set underway. A good dig from Bruno and good reaction on the

:26:43.:26:47.

second ball from Ali. But they can't win the point. Lupo remembered what

:26:48.:26:56.

scored for him earlier in set number 1 and goes back to it. Stays with

:26:57.:27:01.

it, stays aggressive, even though Bruno sent that first one back.

:27:02.:27:05.

CHEERING Now Nicolai getting in on the act.

:27:06.:27:31.

With his third successful block. These guys are so physical.

:27:32.:27:38.

But they have got the touch! Gosh! They may have... That makes me

:27:39.:27:46.

cringe every time a ball that close goes up, because these guys are

:27:47.:27:52.

going so fast. Lupo coming in, Nicolai... Doesn't have eyes in the

:27:53.:27:58.

back of his head. He has just to go on instinct there. What great

:27:59.:28:02.

placement by Alison! Geez! I think they were going for

:28:03.:28:16.

the net challenge anyway. You got to do knit the middle of the rally. But

:28:17.:28:25.

thank God that Nicolai was there. Because Ali was not slowing down. He

:28:26.:28:30.

was absolutely swinging away. Danielo Lupo not endearing himself.

:28:31.:29:07.

Lupo stopped the play, as the players are instructed, during the

:29:08.:29:11.

play. If there is something that is happening during the live ball, you

:29:12.:29:15.

got to request it. If you feel that it happened, you request the

:29:16.:29:21.

challenge. So, Lupo went to request the challenge, so he... He stopped

:29:22.:29:25.

playing. But the play continued. They didn't blow the whistle, which

:29:26.:29:32.

I is why Alison swung away, Nicolai finished the play, so he felt there

:29:33.:29:41.

was a net violation there. So, as the play's continuing, Lupo called

:29:42.:29:44.

for the challenge. CHEERING

:29:45.:29:47.

That's disappointing. That is... That is disappointing. They won the

:29:48.:29:55.

point. The referees... Like you say, though, if he challenges, he has to

:29:56.:29:59.

challenge at that moment. Correct. But they have to - they have to

:30:00.:30:05.

whistle. See, their whistle timing is completely disrupted now. They

:30:06.:30:13.

didn't whistle to stop the play. The ball was down out of the block.

:30:14.:30:15.

Sonofagun! CHEERING

:30:16.:30:21.

. Gosh! You do not want to see something like that influence the

:30:22.:30:27.

gold medal match. They call a time-out.

:30:28.:30:34.

They didn't see the touch. They didn't blow their whistle in time.

:30:35.:30:41.

It was only Lupo that stopped his play. The play continued. Alison,

:30:42.:30:45.

Bruno, Nicolai, everybody was still on the play. There was no whistle.

:30:46.:30:49.

The point was scored. Then they wanted to ask about the video

:30:50.:30:54.

challenge. Terrible timing in WHISTLES

:30:55.:30:58.

. And then they dis-- whistles. Then they disrupted the next play. Even

:30:59.:31:07.

though the timing was wrong, the right point - the point when the

:31:08.:31:11.

right way - because there wasn't a net violation. Correct. He stopped,

:31:12.:31:14.

so the ball would have come down. It Lupo stopped. Yeah. But Nicolai got

:31:15.:31:20.

the block. The point went to the Italians. But they awarded it to the

:31:21.:31:28.

Brazilians. No, but my point being is if they stopped play as they

:31:29.:31:32.

should have done, when he... Correct. That's come before the

:31:33.:31:36.

block has been made. If they stop it there, then Brazil win the point

:31:37.:31:38.

anyway. Correct. Yes. BOOING

:31:39.:31:42.

. Even if they whistled at the right time, it would still have been 2-2.

:31:43.:31:46.

CHEERING Because Italy wouldn't have won the

:31:47.:31:49.

point because they would have stopped the point before Alison had

:31:50.:31:53.

gone through with the spike. Yes. But that's the confusion between the

:31:54.:32:00.

officiating. He didn't know why Lupo was stopping the play. Yes. The

:32:01.:32:06.

challengers knew. CHEERING

:32:07.:32:12.

Anyway. Back to the action! That one does count. Well, that can fire them

:32:13.:32:17.

up. I have to say, Nicolai is getting

:32:18.:32:32.

his hands to a lot of ball. He really is. Doing a great job

:32:33.:32:42.

patrolling that net. Assault, Alison is having to go harder and find more

:32:43.:32:45.

angles. That one is wayward. Lupo and Nicolai have gone up a gear

:32:46.:32:58.

from their semifinal the other night. Can Semenov and

:32:59.:33:11.

Krasilnikov... Good placement by Lupo on that ball. My partiality

:33:12.:33:18.

will always air with that of the players!

:33:19.:33:21.

LAUGHTER They have responded very well.

:33:22.:33:37.

Again! Nicolai gets his hand to the ball. Alison plunging forward. Oh!

:33:38.:33:54.

Brilliant from Lupo! Chance now for Italy! Oh! Oh! What a point!

:33:55.:33:59.

CHEERING Rally of the match! It goes the way

:34:00.:34:04.

of Brazil! CHEERING

:34:05.:34:14.

How many digs in that rally? That was just fun to take in! All the way

:34:15.:34:22.

around. Such an incredible point. A sapping

:34:23.:34:38.

point. In heavy sand. We saw a lot of that little knuckle poke from

:34:39.:34:42.

Lupo in the semifinal. We haven't seen too much of it in this match

:34:43.:34:46.

just yet. There is a fine example. There is more of a cut shot. But

:34:47.:34:55.

taking all the pace off it. He plays with the different tensions in his

:34:56.:34:55.

hand. Wow! . Alison shaking his head.

:34:56.:35:15.

Everyone's gasping for air here. Such an intensity in this match. I'm

:35:16.:35:22.

curious if Alison is getting the set that he wants. Bruno, an incredible

:35:23.:35:31.

centre. No question. Can probably deliver whatever that is. Well...

:35:32.:35:35.

Unless he was just swinging blind. Their last three matches - they have

:35:36.:35:48.

lost two -- last two matches have gone to three sets for Alison and

:35:49.:35:55.

Bruno. As has Lupo and Nicolai's. CHEERING

:35:56.:36:03.

Right now, Nicolai seems to be the one delivering the blocking beating.

:36:04.:36:07.

But he and Alison are just within one. Nicolai has five. Alison has

:36:08.:36:17.

four. 8-5, Italy lead. BOOING

:36:18.:36:22.

Oh! LAUGHTER

:36:23.:36:34.

Stuck it! Oh! I pity the ball. I think he's frustrated after the

:36:35.:36:43.

previous one went so awry. Bruno Schmidt is always good energy. No

:36:44.:36:48.

matter if it's the pressure is on, he is a competitor in all the right

:36:49.:36:54.

ways. Just such mad respect for that dude.

:36:55.:37:07.

CHEERING He's incredible! I love that they

:37:08.:37:23.

call him The Mayiation because -- The Magician because right when you

:37:24.:37:27.

think he is going to do one thing he pulls a rabbit out of the hat and

:37:28.:37:31.

does something else. He is an ankle breaker. Such a long look at... At

:37:32.:37:40.

Lupo he tax before he makes -- takes before he makes his decision.

:37:41.:37:51.

A quick jump and swing from Lupo. That's what's been getting him the

:37:52.:37:58.

majority of his points. BOOING

:37:59.:38:05.

. Touched. That is the high hands that Nicolai and Alison have been

:38:06.:38:12.

going back and forth. They have been looking for those high hands. Alison

:38:13.:38:16.

finally gets them. Squeezing it through. That is gutsy!

:38:17.:38:33.

Some energy about the Italian pair right now, isn't there? A spring in

:38:34.:38:43.

the step. They are not fazed one bit.

:38:44.:38:44.

BOOING .. By this situation.

:38:45.:38:58.

Blow for blow. It is kind of both of the teams' MO, just exchange,

:38:59.:39:08.

exchange, and... Final point for the technical time-out.

:39:09.:39:11.

(CHEERING) Brazil go in on a high with an

:39:12.:39:18.

Alison block, block number 4, for the Mammoth! They quickly closed

:39:19.:39:21.

that gap. It is like they have an extra fifth

:39:22.:39:29.

gear. No celebration from Alison. Just a spin on his heels and off he

:39:30.:39:34.

goes to the bench. He's focused in on this match. He spent, what, a

:39:35.:39:38.

couple of points in the first set getting the crowd involved. Now,

:39:39.:39:43.

it's about him and his partner getting over the line and winning

:39:44.:39:47.

the second set. They don't want the lottery of a third set. You got that

:39:48.:39:52.

block. He picked up his briefcase and went to the office.

:39:53.:40:02.

That's the view from out at sea. This is the state of the gold medal

:40:03.:40:06.

match. It is very, very close. Wow! He is there again!

:40:07.:40:32.

CHEERING He's there again! We are all level

:40:33.:40:37.

at 11-11. Lupo gets them back in front. Just

:40:38.:41:12.

climbed the tree! Got him one. Real smooth little cutback.

:41:13.:41:13.

BOOING Great angle that shot of the spike

:41:14.:41:35.

cross-court. Lupo just slices and dices. Little

:41:36.:42:01.

miscommunication on the Brazilian side. Bruno was expecting an angle.

:42:02.:42:05.

Block from Alison. It is a slug fest! It really is. He

:42:06.:42:32.

just hammers that deep angle. Just beats it into the ground. Oh! What a

:42:33.:42:34.

get! Oh. Unlucky. Bruno just doesn't get balls up he

:42:35.:42:47.

puts such a spin on it, he has such incredible ball control that he...

:42:48.:42:53.

His timing almost spun that back into control for Alison to set.

:42:54.:42:57.

There is so much more than him just flying around digging balls in the

:42:58.:43:03.

air. He digs them to a spot. CHEERING

:43:04.:43:08.

Nothing Lupo can do about that in the back corner, as it comes off the

:43:09.:43:13.

block of Nicolai. There has to be an adjustment by the Italians soon,

:43:14.:43:19.

though, because that's... Unless he was trying to go line. Oh! Wasn't

:43:20.:43:29.

far away, was he? WHISTLE BLOWS) Perhaps a show and

:43:30.:43:35.

take from nickly -- Nicolai. But Alison scored the last three in the

:43:36.:43:37.

same spot. Finds the mark and they are in

:43:38.:43:48.

front! They are in front for the first time in the second set!

:43:49.:43:51.

CHEERING What a spike that is! What a time to

:43:52.:44:07.

come up with the point on your own serve! Again, he gets that

:44:08.:44:13.

jump-search going! CHEERING

:44:14.:44:17.

. That pushback that Lupo is looking for isn't quite there. I don't know

:44:18.:44:24.

if that set is too tight for him. But it looks like he's

:44:25.:44:27.

predetermining it and that's what's getting him in trouble, rather than

:44:28.:44:35.

let it be a bail-out. CHEERING

:44:36.:44:39.

Lupo is taking his time. He has to be careful. He might pick up a

:44:40.:44:49.

warning. Well, that is a good serving session from Bruno. Because

:44:50.:44:58.

they are in front now from 1 pn-ssh -- 13 sn 14 to 14-16. Alison seems

:44:59.:45:04.

to have the bit between his teeth. CHEERING

:45:05.:45:31.

Man alive! Listen to the crowd! CHEERING

:45:32.:45:41.

It is electric on Copacabana Beach! It is coming up to 1:40am, 145am.

:45:42.:45:55.

They are going absolutely potty! His conversion rate is out of this

:45:56.:46:04.

world! Look at those digs! 14-5! CHEERING

:46:05.:46:11.

It's silly! It is silly sometimes the plays that those guys come up

:46:12.:46:18.

with. Unbelievable! CHEERING

:46:19.:46:24.

Because Lupo drops that cut shot that's... Got him to the finals.

:46:25.:46:29.

CHEERING Well, some teams... Wow! .. Buckle

:46:30.:46:35.

under home expectation and home pressure. But when the chips have

:46:36.:46:41.

been done in this second set, Alison and Bruno have responded and

:46:42.:46:44.

responded magnificently well! CHEERING

:46:45.:46:48.

Still work to do. First to 21. CHEERING

:46:49.:47:03.

Alison and Bruno... They have called a time-out as Alison makes the

:47:04.:47:11.

block. Block number 7 for Alison. We are one point away from bedlam! I

:47:12.:47:18.

don't think words does any justice to those two. It went Italy's way.

:47:19.:47:21.

It's gone Italy's way, excuse me. Looking very relaxed.

:47:22.:47:44.

BOOING Despite the situation. Cameras out.

:47:45.:47:51.

CHEERING They you shouldn't get too far ahead

:47:52.:47:56.

of themselves because this Italian side can easily turn this 2-point

:47:57.:47:58.

gap around. CHEERING

:47:59.:48:03.

But that red flag does now signal the fact that we have three match

:48:04.:48:10.

points to Brazil, and now we are one point away from bedlam!

:48:11.:48:17.

CHEERING It is alive! It is... Two touches?

:48:18.:48:26.

And that is that! Wow! The gold medal goes to Brazil!

:48:27.:48:30.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE -- they can't challenge it. All

:48:31.:48:37.

over. Into the crowd he goes! Heroes, legends, icons! That is what

:48:38.:48:41.

these guys just became! CHEERING

:48:42.:48:45.

Brazil win their first gold medal in beach volleyball in the men's

:48:46.:48:51.

competition since Ricciardo and e Manuel in 2004. This is what they

:48:52.:48:55.

want and what they came for! Danielo Lupo is arguing the toss, but it's

:48:56.:49:01.

not going to change the decision of the first referee!

:49:02.:49:05.

CHEERING Alison and Bruno have delivered gold

:49:06.:49:12.

for Brazil on Copacabana Beach in the men's beach volleyball! They

:49:13.:49:19.

have defeated a spirited Italian side in straight sets, 21-19, 21-17.

:49:20.:49:24.

CHEERING That is the last point. A double

:49:25.:49:27.

touch is the call. VOICEOVER: Olympic champion Rio

:49:28.:49:44.

lines to party and there will be a massive party tonight, even in the

:49:45.:49:49.

rain, because Brazil now have won their fifth gold medal of Rio 2016.

:49:50.:49:54.

That equals their record pest performance at an Olympics. Look at

:49:55.:49:58.

that! That is what it means, especially after the disappointment

:49:59.:50:01.

of the women crashing out last night in the gold medal match. Tears of a

:50:02.:50:06.

different kind tonight. Three goals Brazil won at London 2012. They have

:50:07.:50:19.

won five gold medals right now. The current world championship is Smith

:50:20.:50:22.

# -- Schmidt and Ceruti. That is what it means to win the gold medal

:50:23.:50:26.

in your home country on the Copacabana. Climbing! He is doing a

Pat Cash! Climbing up to see the relatives! National heroes. Front

:50:32.:50:36.

page of the Brazilian papers tomorrow morning, without doubt.

:50:37.:50:40.

They are going to be on the front page of every Brazilian newspaper,

:50:41.:50:44.

every Brazilian television network will be including that story. Cherif

:50:45.:50:51.

They have won their medal. All happening behind us. So funny, isn't

:50:52.:50:57.

it? I bet when they dreamt of winning the gold medal in the beach

:50:58.:51:00.

volleyball think never thought they would be doing it in the rain. Many

:51:01.:51:05.

congratulations to Brazil. There will be a massive party in Rio!

:51:06.:51:09.

Bringing you boxing action, because this was the only gold medal awarded

:51:10.:51:13.

in the boxing competition today. We will show you what happened in the

:51:14.:51:21.

light heavyweight bout. Cuba is taking on... The commentary comes

:51:22.:51:25.

from Richie and Ron McIntosh. CHEERING

:51:26.:51:42.

The legs getting tangled there between the southpaw and orthodox

:51:43.:51:47.

boxer. Forced to take up an unemail position. Thankfully, no injury

:51:48.:51:52.

sustained. CHEERING

:51:53.:51:56.

I Cruz is an expect at long range boxing. Brings his opponent on to

:51:57.:52:00.

the punches. Back foot counterpunch. But he can mix it up as well.

:52:01.:52:05.

Occasionally, that is where he comes undone buzz he doesn't keep those

:52:06.:52:13.

hands up at all. Comfortable on the ropes even. Difficult to hand a shot

:52:14.:52:21.

on him. Terrific movement demonstrated by Cruz. In the closing

:52:22.:52:29.

20 seconds, his opponent was reduced to chasing shadows, such was the

:52:30.:52:33.

wonderful fleet-footed evasive manoeuvres demonstrated by this man.

:52:34.:52:41.

It will all come down to what the Junes prefer. But he is coming

:52:42.:52:45.

forward, missing the target there. Trying to get his punches off, but

:52:46.:52:53.

la Cruz found the space. While working on that back foot. In and

:52:54.:52:58.

out with that right hand. His opponent walks on to that shot

:52:59.:53:04.

there. La Cruz appeared to do the better work. Let look at the scores.

:53:05.:53:09.

The Cuban gets it. He is in control. VOICEOVER: Round 2. Into the second

:53:10.:53:28.

round of a contest of men who have been pretty much the best light

:53:29.:53:33.

heavy wait boxers in the world in Olympic boxes for the last five

:53:34.:53:37.

years. But neither of them have an make gold medal to show for it. The

:53:38.:53:42.

man if red that three world championship gold medals in what

:53:43.:53:45.

will perhaps be the upset of the 2012 boxing tournament, bar none. He

:53:46.:53:49.

was eliminated at the quarterfinal stage. # by -- stage by Brazil. The

:53:50.:53:58.

pace is suiting La Cruz down to the ground. If you remember, his

:53:59.:54:02.

opponent in the semifinal against Great Britain, he demonstrated the

:54:03.:54:05.

lovely skills on the back foot, because he is a back-foot

:54:06.:54:08.

counterpuncher himself. Here he has to change his tactics, has to go on

:54:09.:54:12.

the front foot. Can he do it? This is an Olympic final. You have to be

:54:13.:54:18.

able to do both styles, remember. He is being forced into a way of boxing

:54:19.:54:24.

that he isn't used to because he normally sets back. La Cruz hasn't

:54:25.:54:31.

come away with any Olympic model. His opponent came away a silver. He

:54:32.:54:41.

was declared a loser on count-back 15-15 after many rounds. The

:54:42.:54:47.

count-back went against him. Nothing in it. He still doesn't have an

:54:48.:54:53.

Olympic gold to show for it. Remember, he is yet to have his hand

:54:54.:55:08.

raised in this particular rivalry. Psychologically, especially for la

:55:09.:55:11.

Cruz, he isn't boxing at the right tempo. It is too slow. He has to do

:55:12.:55:15.

something different. It is as if he's hypnotised by the man. That is

:55:16.:55:21.

what la Cruz does. He seems to slow down the pace, no matter what

:55:22.:55:24.

opponent. He has the ability to slow it down and box to his tempo. Has is

:55:25.:55:34.

what he is a very talent and successful boxer. Good right hand

:55:35.:55:43.

from la Cruz. His opponent is on the front foot, stalking his man. La

:55:44.:55:48.

Cruz demonstrating the ability to navigate the boxing ring and avoid

:55:49.:55:51.

the punches coming his way. Almost as though he is blessed with ESP,

:55:52.:55:54.

the manner in which he can see the punches coming, lay back at the

:55:55.:55:59.

waist, adjust his feet, and make the man miss by a matter of millimetres

:56:00.:56:08.

sometimes. A good right hand to the body from la Cruz. Who can produce

:56:09.:56:16.

quality in the closing 10 seconds? La Cruz pulls the trigger first.

:56:17.:56:23.

What a Counteres left hand! Will Cruz at his best. While the punch is

:56:24.:56:27.

still coming back after falling short, he finds himself clipped on

:56:28.:56:29.

the chin with a cheeky little shot. His feet will be too slow. He is

:56:30.:56:45.

following his popt rather than cutting the ring space off. You are

:56:46.:56:50.

in against a maestro of a mover in la Cruz. Talented hands, low indeed.

:56:51.:57:02.

Gets caught with the shot. Better, just a bit short towards the end the

:57:03.:57:06.

skills of will Cruz were exceptional. Let's look at the

:57:07.:57:18.

scores. Nyazymbetov has to produce a knock-out shot. Difficult.

:57:19.:57:24.

Into the third and final round. The second ranked boxer in the world is

:57:25.:57:31.

trailing by two pints for judges A, B and C in this contest between two

:57:32.:57:37.

of the most scuffle operators in the world at 81 kilograms. With the

:57:38.:57:44.

previous three encounters, it's the man if red who dictated the terms

:57:45.:57:49.

and the tempo on which this bout is being contested.

:57:50.:58:18.

The cheer of winning first's Kazakhstan first medal of any colour

:58:19.:58:24.

when he took the gold 20 years ago. He came away as the trophy winner.

:58:25.:58:31.

Niyazymbetov has his name into the boobs by getting that silver four

:58:32.:58:36.

years ago, but he was so desperate for make goal. At this tempo it

:58:37.:58:41.

doesn't look at though it will happen as we approach the mid-point

:58:42.:58:45.

of the third and final round. He needs a knock-out now. Lovely skills

:58:46.:58:49.

again from la Cruz. There hasn't been a tempo change from

:58:50.:58:53.

Niyazymbetov. Still waiting far too long.

:58:54.:58:55.

CHEERING He isn't used to boxing on the front

:58:56.:59:01.

foot, the man if blue. He is normally a back-foot counterpuncher

:59:02.:59:03.

himself. Lose thank first round meant he had to change something

:59:04.:59:08.

around. He hasn't done it, kept the same tempo, which suited la Cruz.

:59:09.:59:13.

Let's face it, Ronald - the Cuban - this has been their bogey division,

:59:14.:59:17.

the light heavyweights. No-one's ever won an make gold in this

:59:18.:59:22.

division from Cuba. La Cruz is cruising to victory here! It will be

:59:23.:59:27.

a special victory for him he will be the first Cuban to win gold in this

:59:28.:59:30.

division if he can get through the last 50 seconds or so. Not just for

:59:31.:59:36.

him, but for the entire Caribbean island and more importantly or just

:59:37.:59:41.

as significantly it will complete Cuban success in every weight

:59:42.:59:46.

division. They have won Olympic gold in every other weight class, except

:59:47.:59:51.

light heavyweight. They haven't had a medal in this division since 1980.

:59:52.:59:55.

CHEERING But that drought is coming to an

:59:56.:00:04.

end. In these closing seconds, la Cruz is about to join the ranks of

:00:05.:00:10.

his compatriots by being crowned as an Olympic champion. Up on his toes

:00:11.:00:13.

as the 10-second clapper sounds. Enjoying his work. Treating us to

:00:14.:00:23.

the grace he used to such effect to dominate the world championships.

:00:24.:00:29.

Now on the Olympic stage, the man is producing some salsa on the canvas

:00:30.:00:34.

of boxing ring in acknowledgement of a majestic display that see him

:00:35.:00:40.

crowned as Olympic light heavyweight champion, Cuba's first ever light

:00:41.:00:44.

heavyweights champion in the Olympic programme. He was once again almost

:00:45.:00:50.

impossible to attack cleanly. Tremendous prrms from La Cruz. You

:00:51.:00:53.

have to admire. There were a few boos at the end. The man is so

:00:54.:00:58.

skilful. To box like this, you have to have exceptional reactions. That

:00:59.:01:02.

is what he's got. Reflexes and recollections have to be second to

:01:03.:01:09.

none. La Cruz, a wonderful boxer. He's had a tremendous performance

:01:10.:01:10.

there. Tremendous tournament. VOICEOVER: Ladies and gentlemen, the

:01:11.:01:34.

winner by unanimous decision and the Olympic champion... In the red

:01:35.:01:51.

corner... La Cruz! (CHEERING)

:01:52.:01:58.

La Cruz is the Olympic champion! The golden grin beaming from ear-to-ear!

:01:59.:02:05.

The three-time championship gold medallist completes his collection.

:02:06.:02:11.

Time for us to look at the medal table. The United States lead the

:02:12.:02:15.

way. They brought up their century tonight. Great Britain continue to

:02:16.:02:18.

lead the chase, three gold medals today. That takes them to 22. GB

:02:19.:02:26.

have 56 medals, nine shy of their London 2012 haul of 65. Beach

:02:27.:02:29.

volleyball Victoria I have for Brazil was their fifth gold for the

:02:30.:02:34.

hosts, equalling their best ever gold medal tally from Athens in

:02:35.:02:44.

2004. So, earlier we wondered what will happen if Usain Bolt and when

:02:45.:02:47.

he decides to hang up the spikes. Lots of you have been getting in

ambassador and use that star quality to inspire the next generation of

sprinters find another star." Alan says, "Continue - holds the memory

of a great and hope that one day an existing talented youngster will

same thing when Michael Johnson retired. We will soon move on.

:03:15.:03:18.

That's how it is." Thank you very much for your tweets and thank you

for watching. I know it is very, very late. We are grateful. It's

Jade Jones and at more the main bolt Usain Bolt. From all of us here, bye

for now.
