COMMENTATOR: Raphael Silva of Brazil. Magnificent! Rafael Garcia

:00:59.:01:35.

Thiago is the new Olympic champion. Michael Phelps's 23rd gold! Usain

:01:36.:02:01.

Bolt wins it! The odyssey continues! The boy who ran on the streets of

:02:02.:02:28.

Salvador has just being crowned an Olympic champion. Brazil with their

:02:29.:02:33.

first gold medal, in beach volleyball. Gold for Brazil!

:02:34.:02:57.

We're going to miss this place, aren't we? And I'm sure Rio is going

:02:58.:03:05.

to miss the Olympic Games as well. It is that an ultimate day of Rio

:03:06.:03:10.

2016 and last night we witnessed sporting immortality. The treble

:03:11.:03:18.

treble is completed by Usain Bolt, legendary status secured. Good

:03:19.:03:22.

afternoon everybody on David Dein here from the Olympic Park. Then

:03:23.:03:27.

station or watching Usain Bolt in action once again, wasn't it? But he

:03:28.:03:31.

wouldn't have done it without his 4x100 metres team, and may I just

:03:32.:03:38.

say as it is my last show, how much of an honour it has been fronting

:03:39.:03:41.

the programme and it wouldn't have been possible at all without the BBC

:03:42.:03:46.

14, many of them back at base but come on, let's show off the team

:03:47.:03:52.

here! Mark on sound, what a job he's done. Can't even hear him! Tim

:03:53.:04:01.

Boucher, floor manager, what an absolute legend. Take the applause!

:04:02.:04:08.

And Joe on the camera, are we in focus? Just about.

:04:09.:04:19.

And my father, proud to be your son, love you, pops.

:04:20.:04:26.

Talk of a parade in Manchester, get your tickets while they're hot,

:04:27.:04:35.

people! David Dein, what have you got? It is almost time for the

:04:36.:04:43.

women's golf to be concluded. Inbee Park is the leading lady. What can

:04:44.:04:48.

Lydia Ko, the world number-1, and Great Britain's Charley Hull do? Tom

:04:49.:04:55.

Daley is already a medallist from Rio 2016. Going it alone on the

:04:56.:05:00.

ten-metre this afternoon. Can he had another moment on the podium here?

:05:01.:05:07.

Tae kwon do has given Great Britain and two medals so far. It is their

:05:08.:05:14.

turn of Bianca Walkden in the heavyweight category. What can she

:05:15.:05:20.

do? And mountain biking kicks off down at the Deodoro arena radical

:05:21.:05:28.

Park, we will be there for the start of the women's competition. So,

:05:29.:05:32.

David Dein looks like this for you on BBC Four. Holding back the tears,

:05:33.:05:40.

people! We have got the Gulf, Charley Hull will be trying to close

:05:41.:05:44.

that gap on the leaders. Tom Daley will be in semifinal action in the

:05:45.:05:52.

men's ten-metre platform at Maria Lenk Stadium. BBC One, what are you

:05:53.:05:59.

looking like on David Dein? They are at the Lagoa Stadium. -- on day 15.

:06:00.:06:10.

The canoe sprint. Later on, it's all about the Brownlees brothers -- it

:06:11.:06:19.

was all about the Brownlee brothers a couple of days ago but now the

:06:20.:06:24.

women will be going for the top honours. And the ladies are the ones

:06:25.:06:28.

we are focusing on at the start of this programme, as the Gulf is

:06:29.:06:32.

coming to its conclusion. South Korea's Inbee Park has led for the

:06:33.:06:36.

last couple of rounds. Charley Hull looking to close the gap but

:06:37.:06:40.

yesterday it was all about the world number-1 bagging a hole in one. It

:06:41.:06:43.

was a memorable day three. When the wind hits the Marapendi

:06:44.:06:59.

Reserve, it has blown for more than 7000 miles uninterrupted across the

:07:00.:07:03.

Atlantic. That can cause bother or brilliance on the golf course. On

:07:04.:07:08.

the eighth, a moment of magic. COMMENTATOR: This looks good, how

:07:09.:07:13.

about that! A hole in one on the eighth. And for the first time in

:07:14.:07:20.

her short but glittering career, 19-year-old world number one Lydia

:07:21.:07:25.

Ko went the direct route too. My goodness! Lydia Ko has done it

:07:26.:07:29.

again. She is on the charge, for sure. That, plus four birdies on the

:07:30.:07:34.

front nine, catapulted Lydia Ko Arbre de Vie leaderboard. From

:07:35.:07:43.

nowhere she is tied on nine under. I tried to stay calm and I think

:07:44.:07:48.

shooting six under in these windy conditions, I camp myself in a good

:07:49.:07:53.

position going into tomorrow. Lydia Ko shares her second place with

:07:54.:08:01.

American Gerina Piller. While five birdies and a bogey for her

:08:02.:08:08.

team-mate Stacy Lewis... Just rolled off the back of the green, not sure

:08:09.:08:14.

how far. That proved rather frustrating. Also frustrated, Great

:08:15.:08:19.

Britain's Catriona Matthew. A costly triple bogey at the 12th and her

:08:20.:08:24.

Olympic challenge was over. The back nine was tough. I just put it

:08:25.:08:29.

terribly on the front nine. -- I parted terribly. Seven time major

:08:30.:08:35.

champion Inbee Park led from start to finish, but she wasn't without

:08:36.:08:40.

her wobbles either. That is her third bogey of the day. Birdies and

:08:41.:08:47.

five bogeys in her round showed what a topsy-turvy Castle this was

:08:48.:08:53.

against the wind. Look at that. A 15 inch putt for birdie. Still come in

:08:54.:08:58.

11 under is the score to beat. It was really tough out there. The wind

:08:59.:09:03.

was really hard to judge. Having an opportunity tomorrow is huge. No

:09:04.:09:09.

matter what the result is, I think I will challenge here tomorrow.

:09:10.:09:12.

Britain's Charley Hull will be in the race. For a while it seemed like

:09:13.:09:18.

was on her side. Wayward into the water on three. The ball

:09:19.:09:23.

miraculously bounced out and onto the sand! But as the wind picked up,

:09:24.:09:31.

control slipped away. At 5-under, she is six shots off the pace, but

:09:32.:09:37.

Charley is not beaten yet. It's pretty windy and I'm just fixed

:09:38.:09:47.

behind the lead. Watch out! -- just six behind the lead. Nothing like a

:09:48.:09:52.

bit of fighting talk from Charley Hull, going into Dave four. She will

:09:53.:09:56.

be looking to close the gap at the top of the leaderboard. It was a

:09:57.:10:01.

very windy day down on Marapendi Reserve. Windies still or are the

:10:02.:10:06.

conditions clearing up? It is blowing an absolute gale from the

:10:07.:10:10.

moment we arrived here. Told by the forecast is that we are to expect

:10:11.:10:16.

worse later, the rain blowing in. Luckily the organisers had foreseen

:10:17.:10:19.

this and we have a tweak to the format of today, we have got split

:10:20.:10:29.

tees. Up the field tee off on the tenth and played to the ninth. That

:10:30.:10:33.

means the action should be done and dusted by about two o'clock our

:10:34.:10:41.

time, 6pm in the UK. Hopefully all the players should be off the course

:10:42.:10:45.

by the time the terrible wind blows in. We should be seeing the action

:10:46.:10:51.

wrapped up by about two BN, 6pm UK time and that is when we should be

:10:52.:10:54.

handing out the medals. What a scramble it will be for those medal

:10:55.:10:58.

positions after the conditions yesterday blew it wide open. Leader

:10:59.:11:04.

Inbee Park built up a four shot lead before the wind came yesterday but

:11:05.:11:08.

then five bogeys pecked her back to 11-under, a lead of just two shots

:11:09.:11:12.

over the world number-1, Lydia Ko from New Zealand, that hole-in-one

:11:13.:11:18.

really helping her out. Gerina Piller is tied for second. Look at

:11:19.:11:22.

the Koreans in there as well, we could see a Korean 1-2- three by the

:11:23.:11:28.

end of the day. Charley Hull, don't rule her out yet. Mixed round for

:11:29.:11:33.

you her yesterday, seven bogeys in her round saw her drift backwards to

:11:34.:11:37.

5-under, now six shots off the lead. But she says she loves to play in

:11:38.:11:42.

the wind and rain, so watch out for her today. In fact, before she came

:11:43.:11:47.

out to Rio, she had eight round in the wind and rain with the BBC's

:11:48.:11:52.

Naga Munchetty. So, we are at the 12th. We haven't picked the best of

:11:53.:11:54.

days! Let's do it. So I don't need to be nervous about

:11:55.:12:12.

being in the buggy with you? I haven't had an accident before! That

:12:13.:12:17.

was a very good shot. I'm surprised! How many times a week do you play?

:12:18.:12:23.

About four or five. That's pretty good to meet you play more than me!

:12:24.:12:30.

Right, come on then. Ranked amongst the top 30 in the world and yet

:12:31.:12:33.

still only 20 years old, Charley Hull has a chance of winning a medal

:12:34.:12:38.

for Great Britain in the women's golf competition. How IQ looking

:12:39.:12:42.

forward to the Olympics? I'm really looking forward to it, I think it's

:12:43.:12:46.

going to be a lot of fun. It's just going to be a great experience. I

:12:47.:12:50.

will be staying in the Olympic village, so it will be fun meeting

:12:51.:12:54.

the other athletes and watching some other sports as well. I think she

:12:55.:12:59.

might hit it in the water! My prediction is right! Splash! You

:13:00.:13:06.

skimmed it as well. I'm worried that we don't have enough balls for

:13:07.:13:10.

today. I would help you look for it but I don't want to get wet!

:13:11.:13:14.

Al-Hasan been played at the Olympics for more than 100 years and while

:13:15.:13:18.

there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the male golfers, it has

:13:19.:13:26.

put the women off. I haven't been to South America before. I love being

:13:27.:13:32.

British and English, so I'm really proud. Good shot. She says they

:13:33.:13:38.

through gritted teeth! Nice one! To stand up on that podium with a

:13:39.:13:52.

Gold Medal, can you imagine the atmosphere? Yeah, I think it will be

:13:53.:13:56.

brilliant. I'm not going to think too far ahead but it is definitely

:13:57.:14:02.

really exciting. You just take everything in your stride, don't

:14:03.:14:06.

you? I do because at the end of the day it is another golf event. I just

:14:07.:14:14.

love playing golf and it's just sport. I don't want to see any of

:14:15.:14:20.

that at the Olympics! I halved with you! High-5!

:14:21.:14:27.

I think Charley Hull is going to need some of the night and Teddy's

:14:28.:14:34.

form to close at six shot gap on the leaders! -- some of Naga's form!

:14:35.:14:44.

Inbee Park is the leader, she goes out last with Lydia Ko, the world

:14:45.:14:48.

and one, and Gerina Piller, who had a great round yesterday. Came from

:14:49.:14:52.

nowhere really, the American. Charley Hull teeing off at 1222 BM

:14:53.:15:00.

UK time. She is with the Australian, Su Oh. She had a great round

:15:01.:15:06.

yesterday, shooting a 66. Then there is the Korean duo in there, with the

:15:07.:15:13.

superstar Shanshan Feng. Let's see how they got on on the first tee. We

:15:14.:15:20.

have got Inbee Park teeing off first. 28 years old, seven time

:15:21.:15:27.

major champion. Already in the LPGA Hall of Fame. An amazing crowd added

:15:28.:15:33.

around the first tee to cheer on our leader Inbee Park as she went

:15:34.:15:38.

around. The Koreans love their golf and great to see packed galleries

:15:39.:15:42.

here on the final day. This is Lydia Ko, also in the final group, just 19

:15:43.:15:47.

years old, the world and one. She is chasing down Inbee Park, just two

:15:48.:15:48.

shots behind on 9-under par. Also on the course, a few groups

:15:49.:16:27.

before that final pack, this Charley Hull, on 5-under. You she is on the

:16:28.:16:31.

first not long ago. Charley Hull is looking steady at

:16:32.:16:35.

the moment as she chases down a medal. She would dearly love to

:16:36.:16:46.

finish on the podium. Let us head out to the live-action, with

:16:47.:17:00.

Brendan, Alan, and Wayne she does not have the run that others have

:17:01.:17:05.

had. She looks like she could make consecutive bogeys. Making her

:17:06.:17:06.

charge up the leaderboard. Two birdies in her opening three holes.

:17:07.:17:08.

A very good shot at five. putt, just a little more steam for

:17:09.:17:56.

Su Oh, four under. Here is Larsson. Sticks it in close, very close.

:17:57.:18:06.

Directly behind opinion. -- be pinned. That is the closest we have

:18:07.:18:13.

had. It might be the shortest par-3 on a golf course, but it is the most

:18:14.:18:25.

troublesome. Disses Lydia Ko -- this is Lydia Ko's shot.

:18:26.:18:34.

There is a red line marking, so it is a hazard.

:18:35.:18:55.

She will take a penalty drop here, she has two. Had it not been lying

:18:56.:19:11.

with a Bush behind, she would have been allowed to play from the

:19:12.:19:12.

hazard. She had three drops within two club

:19:13.:19:32.

lengths from quid it entered the hazard. If the ball rolls back into

:19:33.:19:36.

the hazard in all three, she will get the chance to play it from the

:19:37.:19:43.

drops the third time. She will just want to get this official to

:19:44.:19:49.

explain. It is going to roll back into the sand. Almost certainly. It

:19:50.:19:59.

just needs to land between the pegs and then the official... There we

:20:00.:20:08.

go. Pointing out where the ball dropped. A penalty drop at the 2nd.

:20:09.:20:28.

Second shot for the Chinese number one. It is all great. Back to two. I

:20:29.:20:53.

thinking be parkas going to play here before Lydia Ko. -- Inbee Park.

:20:54.:21:06.

She's already on the LPGA Hall of Fame. And she won the Masters before

:21:07.:21:21.

it became a major. This is a birdie putt for Inbee Park on the second.

:21:22.:21:33.

A good rule. And a good read. As golfer, Inbee Park.

:21:34.:21:45.

This is the third shot at five. It is a good chance of a birdie. She

:21:46.:21:55.

has tucked it in very close. She missed a putt from even shorter

:21:56.:21:58.

distance earlier in the round. She wants to make up for that here.

:21:59.:22:07.

Charley Hull on the fourth for Great Britain. Superb shot. A long line of

:22:08.:22:20.

powerful hitters to come out of Great Britain, Charley Hull. This

:22:21.:22:27.

will be a fourth shot for Lydia Ko, after the penalty drop. This is for

:22:28.:22:42.

par, otherwise she drops back. She may find herself in trouble at this

:22:43.:22:44.

whole. This just opens up more daylight

:22:45.:22:56.

between the chasers and leader, Inbee Park.

:22:57.:23:05.

What a great effort! If she had saved from that, that would have

:23:06.:23:15.

laid down the marker for any golfer insight. She got just about

:23:16.:23:18.

everything right on that, just ran out of steam at the end. It was

:23:19.:23:27.

tracking towards the whole. And that moment when you believe it is going

:23:28.:23:31.

in. Look at the reaction. Is it, is it, is it?

:23:32.:23:39.

This is a tough one. Piller, already a birdie at the opening hole. Going

:23:40.:24:02.

for par at the 2nd. Not quite so accurate, so she starts the round

:24:03.:24:05.

with consecutive bogeys. It is not the start she would have

:24:06.:24:18.

wanted playing in the final pairing. She is now four shots adrift of

:24:19.:24:29.

Inbee Park. But with this wind as it is, a lot of different permutations

:24:30.:24:32.

can happen on this golf course. Bogey, bogey start for the American,

:24:33.:24:46.

Piller. Inbee Park for her par, par start. Conditions like this will see

:24:47.:24:51.

her home. The way the wind is playing up, I get the sense that no

:24:52.:24:54.

one is getting to go particularly low. But Inbee Park plays quality

:24:55.:25:04.

golf, makes it par at a very difficult second. She has come

:25:05.:25:10.

through the second unscathed, and her playing partners have bogeys. A

:25:11.:25:21.

birdie putt. She dropped a shot in the first, but she does not get a

:25:22.:25:27.

shot back. The patter is just not working for her. --

:25:28.:25:41.

this was for Eagle! It had a real chance!

:25:42.:26:07.

And another birdie for Yang. Par on the second, and Inbee Park will be

:26:08.:26:23.

well satisfied with that. The facial expression does not move much.

:26:24.:26:27.

Fantastic concentration. APPLAUSE Safely over the water.

:26:28.:26:48.

Remembered in the main's event, Henrik Stenson found the water here.

:26:49.:26:58.

Indeed. The third round, wind in the face, and Henrik Stenson ended up

:26:59.:27:05.

with the Silver Medal behind Justin Rose from England. Stacy Lewis is

:27:06.:27:09.

going well. That is her third birdie of the round.

:27:10.:27:26.

Lydia Koh. Somewhat to clear. 297 metres today. She's going with a

:27:27.:27:33.

fairway metal. Down the right side of the fairway,

:27:34.:27:47.

leaving herself a slightly longer second shot.

:27:48.:28:07.

Azahara?Munoz will take that. 5-under for her. Back on third.

:28:08.:28:27.

Piller representing USA, placed for a medal for United states. 160 years

:28:28.:28:41.

ago Margaret Abbott won the golf tournament, and her mother Mary was

:28:42.:28:49.

seventh. Stacy Lewis. This is for a birdie four Charley

:28:50.:29:17.

Hull. After a very good tee shot, you want to convert it.

:29:18.:29:23.

She has to settle for par, when it's easily could have been birdie. Up to

:29:24.:29:30.

six. Brick Henderson. -- to Henderson. That is OK. 8-iron

:29:31.:29:56.

for Yang. This is the fourth. It was not enough. That will be some shot

:29:57.:30:04.

to get out of there. Right up against the face. Of all the greens,

:30:05.:30:11.

the fourth is one of the most and relating difficult. You are really

:30:12.:30:19.

tested on the greens of the par-3 hole is. It is the nuances, the

:30:20.:30:26.

slopes, the final strip call away from the whole.

:30:27.:30:37.

140 metres to the flag. This flag is 18 on, six on from the left. But

:30:38.:30:50.

it's almost on a little crest towards the back left side of this

:30:51.:30:56.

green. Looking to go directly at the flag and not too far-away. Failed to

:30:57.:31:01.

check completely, and she will take that. -- but she will take that.

:31:02.:31:22.

21 to the top of this slope, that is ten short... 76, top of that slope.

:31:23.:31:41.

Yeah. It's going to spin left. I would pitch it going right.

:31:42.:31:48.

Up there, the slope is kind of this way. Like 83? 82. 82? 83 is fine.

:31:49.:32:08.

Just how technical the game of golf is! 83 is going to play like 77, 70

:32:09.:32:20.

eight. All right? Just judging the wind conditions. She's got a marker,

:32:21.:32:32.

as the two gentleman standing behind the green, one wearing yellow and

:32:33.:32:36.

one wearing red. You can see them to the right of the pin. The gentleman

:32:37.:32:43.

to the right is her line. She's aiming there, a shot of 83. She will

:32:44.:32:51.

play it 83. And I think she will be fairly happy with that. Eight had

:32:52.:32:58.

strong, but following wind. Now, Inbee Park. She stands over this

:32:59.:33:12.

one. It has not had the best run of form -- she has not had the best run

:33:13.:33:18.

of form in the Championship, the world number one. Wasn't able to try

:33:19.:33:27.

to defend her Women's British Open title. Looking to get back to her

:33:28.:33:31.

best. That's a very good effort. Up ahead, a little earlier, Shanshan

:33:32.:33:48.

Feng on the par-3. 8-iron. Par-3 4th hole. Schuhen

:33:49.:34:03.

Second shot at the par-4 3rd. Playing alongside Lydia Ko of New

:34:04.:34:28.

Zealand. And indeed Inbee Park of Korea Republic. The ball slightly

:34:29.:34:37.

below her feet. Just takes it out to the right, wants it to kick left and

:34:38.:34:43.

feed down and check a little. That time a little unlucky not to get

:34:44.:34:47.

much purchase. Stacy Lewis on six, for birdie. That's not moving much

:34:48.:34:53.

at all, for the American. Well, she holds the low round of the

:34:54.:35:05.

tournament. You could safely say she holds the course record for the

:35:06.:35:10.

women here on this Olympic Golf Course. 65 from Lydia Ko. Yesterday.

:35:11.:35:15.

With a hole-in-one. Inbee Park tucked in their at pin

:35:16.:35:32.

high, probably about six feet for her birdie. Park, Ko and Piller in

:35:33.:35:47.

this final grouping. Yes, Inbee Park has not put a foot wrong yet, to The

:35:48.:35:52.

Open yogis for the American. That bogey for Lydia Ko at the 2nd.

:35:53.:36:03.

Gerina Piller coming up a little short again with her second. Could

:36:04.:36:11.

have done with a little run, but these greens really are receptive.

:36:12.:36:19.

These fairways are in such beautiful condition. We're seeing the ball

:36:20.:36:23.

consistently stopping and spinning. That is a great looking but. That

:36:24.:36:50.

will make her feel a whole lot better about her first two holes.

:36:51.:36:57.

She's pulled one shot back. She goes to third on her own. A tie for

:36:58.:37:13.

second. Just slides it by. That is a par.

:37:14.:37:20.

Earlier, this was Anna Nordqvist for a birdie at the par-5 5th hole. It's

:37:21.:37:31.

got to sneak in that right door and it does, so a birdie for the Swede.

:37:32.:37:44.

5-under now. Back to three and an important putt here for Lydia Ko.

:37:45.:37:55.

Two major wins this year and a second-place as well. This putt

:37:56.:38:00.

looks good, will it drop? You've got to be kidding me! Lydia Ko, that is

:38:01.:38:11.

the second putt in succession that she has left agonisingly short while

:38:12.:38:16.

it was tracking towards the hole. She needed that, but she keeps a

:38:17.:38:23.

calm disposition. Lydia Ko and Gerina Piller tied for second. Just

:38:24.:38:32.

a little too much. Just gave it to much and left it left of the hole.

:38:33.:38:39.

Inbee Park, the closest of the three in this final group. With her second

:38:40.:38:45.

shot. This for birdie, to get to 12-under par.

:38:46.:39:02.

Solid, absolutely solid from Inbee Park. Wraps in a very authoritative

:39:03.:39:12.

putt and now there are four shots between her, Lydia Ko and Gerina

:39:13.:39:14.

Piller. Now, Yang for par at the 4th. Well,

:39:15.:39:32.

that was a very good par because she had found the sand in front of the

:39:33.:39:36.

bunker there, so she did well to get up and down. Up ahead on five.

:39:37.:39:45.

Suzann Pettersen. From Norway, this for birdie. To get to 5-under. She

:39:46.:39:51.

had a tournament of stops and starts, it's been a bit fragmented

:39:52.:39:52.

for her. That will do! You just want to finish right over

:39:53.:40:01.

that TV tower... Inbee Park, then. On the fourth.

:40:02.:40:57.

8-iron. That is another great shot. She has

:40:58.:41:33.

her rate so finely tuned for this final round. She leads by four, and

:41:34.:41:41.

a very makeable birdie putt on all. Difficult to judge the distance when

:41:42.:41:46.

you've got the wind behind you, as they do. Inbee Park, no concerns for

:41:47.:41:51.

her. Just recently married, Inbee Park, as is Stacy Lewis. Stacy

:41:52.:41:54.

Lewis's team-mate. Gerina Piller, relatively late

:41:55.:42:00.

Bloomer on the LPGA Tour. Playing 140 metres today, but the

:42:01.:42:14.

wind from behind. 8-iron. Shot. Two fine tee shots here on the

:42:15.:42:56.

fourth. And now Lydia Ko, back at 8-under. Four adrift of Inbee Park.

:42:57.:43:39.

Three outstanding T-shirts here on four. Lydia Ko needs something good

:43:40.:43:47.

in her round, she needs to make something happen at the moment, the

:43:48.:43:52.

teenage phenomenon. She looks relaxed and comfortable out on the

:43:53.:44:01.

golf course. Su Oh of Australia now, third shot to the par four 5th hole.

:44:02.:44:07.

She is four under. That is for birdie!

:44:08.:44:15.

Shanshan Feng. Shanshan Feng is desperately trying to pull back the

:44:16.:44:28.

shots that she dropped that the first. She's produced some great

:44:29.:44:36.

putts -- great shots but the putts have not been dropping for her. She

:44:37.:44:37.

will take that. Charley Hull is in the sand on five.

:44:38.:44:50.

Third shot, to get out. That is a wonderful shot. That is a tap in

:44:51.:44:57.

birdie, right there! Give her the four! Now, Stacy Lewis I think is

:44:58.:45:03.

first to go here. Seventh Hull. Two Americans on this

:45:04.:45:24.

front page of the leaderboard. -- hole.

:45:25.:45:35.

A change of club to a 7-iron for Stacy Lewis.

:45:36.:46:02.

She was asking for the ball to set. It just about does that. Back on the

:46:03.:46:13.

fourth. Here, Inbee Park has done a couple

:46:14.:46:27.

of good parts. Lydia Ko has left a couple on the lip. It is Inbee Park

:46:28.:46:42.

to go first. Park leading by four. Needs to extend the advantage to

:46:43.:46:43.

five. She has got it! This is the most

:46:44.:47:12.

wonderful display from Inbee Park. If she makes -- she makes another

:47:13.:47:23.

birdie and goes to 13-under par. Su Oh for her birdie. She will take

:47:24.:47:29.

that. Gerina Piller lining up hours. Inbee

:47:30.:47:54.

Park has already found her birdie with a sensational role, so she's

:47:55.:48:03.

leading by five. Trying to cut the lead back to four. Gerina Piller

:48:04.:48:15.

would prefer to get back to where she started today, 9-under.

:48:16.:48:29.

A second at the par-5 4th Shanshan Feng. She just turned it a little

:48:30.:49:13.

left of the green. Through the sprinkler head. That makes this shot

:49:14.:49:18.

per Lydia Ko such a big shot in the context of this final round. The

:49:19.:49:27.

birdie just sunk by Inbee Park. Lydia Ko is keeping tabs. She needs

:49:28.:49:35.

this to drop. Oh, dear. I'm afraid it just slides by. She gave it more

:49:36.:49:43.

of a role with this one. The last two work short. After the fourth

:49:44.:49:49.

Hull, Inbee Park leads by five. -- hole. Agonising to see that go

:49:50.:49:58.

past. Up to the 7th hole. Stacy Lewis for

:49:59.:50:09.

the United States for birdie. As it stands, if you were out there

:50:10.:50:28.

on that golf course looking at leaderboards, you would see she

:50:29.:50:32.

would be playing for the bronze medal, because Inbee Park is five

:50:33.:50:39.

shots clear, and she has put so few mistakes on the golf course. Leading

:50:40.:50:47.

by five. On the fifth. Par-5. Inbee Park.

:50:48.:51:00.

Very rarely does she get herself in trouble. Yes, she has gone down the

:51:01.:51:09.

right side of the fairway, a good balance of swing -- deal of balance

:51:10.:51:14.

in that's when. Gerina Piller. 8-under par. This is

:51:15.:51:38.

the fifth, where they are very makeable birdie is.

:51:39.:51:54.

Just a chance to set up an equal opportunity. Gerina Piller getting

:51:55.:52:02.

some good run, and it is a good lie for her. Bogey, bogey, birdie, then

:52:03.:52:13.

par at the 4th. That is a big drive. The power from the top sees her left

:52:14.:52:17.

onto her toes ever so slightly, then follow through. She does not lose

:52:18.:52:22.

balance, most importantly. Lydia Ko now.

:52:23.:52:58.

Three DCT shots on the par-5 5th hole. -- three decent tea-macro

:52:59.:53:14.

shots. It is beautiful to watch. 65 in round three.

:53:15.:53:23.

Shanshan Feng from China. She wanted to get more, wanted to release it on

:53:24.:53:36.

the green. First-ever Chinese player on the LPGA Tour.

:53:37.:53:56.

Valenzuela. This is a really good kick. Goodness me! She has hit it

:53:57.:54:06.

some distance. It is driveable, but only for the longest players. That

:54:07.:54:10.

was a few moments ago, but this is live for the eagle putt.

:54:11.:54:17.

She has lived in Switzerland since 2003. She gets an eagle at nine! The

:54:18.:54:28.

first eagle of the day. What a great shot from the Swiss amateur, but she

:54:29.:54:31.

is a long way off the pace because even though it is early days it

:54:32.:54:36.

looks like Inbee Park is closing in on gold. She set out with the love

:54:37.:54:44.

intent. -- with real intent. Charley Hull, she has managed to pick up a

:54:45.:54:49.

birdie on the fifth, and has moved to 6-under, but she has a long way

:54:50.:54:53.

under if she wants to challenge for the medals. It will take something

:54:54.:54:57.

very special from Charley Hull if she is even to get a bronze. We will

:54:58.:55:02.

keep across this and you can follow the golf on the Red Button, on the

:55:03.:55:05.

BBC app and online. Back to you. Thank you. Hoping Charley Hull can

:55:06.:55:16.

do something special in the last few hours of women's golf. Let us see

:55:17.:55:19.

what is going on here that the Olympic Park, and just enjoy some of

:55:20.:55:24.

these last moments. A family here enjoying having their picture taken.

:55:25.:55:30.

Dad is having a bit of business trying to get the shot. You know

:55:31.:55:35.

when the phone is a bit fiddly, but it looks like he has got it now! Do

:55:36.:55:41.

you mind if I have one, just for me. Take a picture. Just for good

:55:42.:55:48.

measure. Just for the memories. Thank you to you. Obrigada. My

:55:49.:56:01.

Portuguese is getting better. We have badminton medals. Now it is the

:56:02.:56:08.

main's competition. The bronze medal has already been decided in this

:56:09.:56:12.

one. The other day we saw the two-time Olympic champion going down

:56:13.:56:15.

in the semifinal, and unfortunately for him, that is two defeats for

:56:16.:56:24.

him, and Viktor Axelsen went down by two games to one. Another medal

:56:25.:56:30.

going in the way of Europe in the badminton, and my reporter tells me

:56:31.:56:32.

that the man is learning Mandarin himself. Trying to improve his game

:56:33.:56:39.

a before after his playing career, and be successful in the Far East.

:56:40.:56:44.

Right now, here, Viktor Axelsen, bronze medallist in the world and no

:56:45.:56:53.

bronze medallist here at real 2016. Lin Dan, possibly the end of an era.

:56:54.:57:00.

Bronze medallist decided, what about the gold? Lee Ching Wei beat Lin Dan

:57:01.:57:12.

in the semifinal. Now it is the number one seed against the number

:57:13.:57:15.

two seed, this could be a real cracker. Can China add a Gold Medal

:57:16.:57:22.

in the badminton? We're about to find out.

:57:23.:57:37.

The men's singles final, the Olympic Gold Medal up for grabs.

:57:38.:57:53.

And nerve are short, the defence coming off the frame of the racket.

:57:54.:58:13.

A super angle. . Yesterday Lee Ching Wei started his final against Dan

:58:14.:58:27.

Lin very nervous, but he came back in the end. Yes, he started slower.

:58:28.:58:33.

He will be looking to take the attack when he gets the opportunity

:58:34.:58:37.

and place pressure on Chen Long, especially moving forward to the

:58:38.:58:38.

net. Well, I wasn't at the Asian

:58:39.:58:58.

championships, but the last time I watched these two playing against

:58:59.:59:06.

each other Lee Ching Wei really took the game to his opponent and played

:59:07.:59:15.

an attacking style. That is what he needs to do, attack the front court,

:59:16.:59:19.

taking opportunities to play pressure on Chen Long. Important to

:59:20.:59:25.

take it early and high to the net, and follow through the net. Apply

:59:26.:59:29.

the pressure. -- Lee Chong Wei. A great smash down

:59:30.:00:21.

the line. He will definitely build his confidence. Nicely cut off.

:00:22.:01:13.

That's very good play by the Malaysian. That's the sort of

:01:14.:01:21.

attacking play and follow-up that I've seen previously win him matches

:01:22.:01:29.

against Chen Long. Excellent work. That movement forward, anticipating,

:01:30.:01:35.

it taking the opportunity to put the pressure on Chen Long. Nicely done.

:01:36.:01:45.

Again, just stepping forward. Excellent work. Turning Chen Long

:01:46.:01:57.

around. Playing backhand and then stepping forward. Nicely done by Lee

:01:58.:02:02.

Chong Wei. Yeah. There is the power play again.

:02:03.:03:03.

Nice movement to the back of the court. Getting right behind that

:03:04.:03:06.

shuttle, Lee Chong Wei. Nicely done. We have got the number one and

:03:07.:03:23.

number two seeds here contesting the final. The only one of the five

:03:24.:03:31.

disciplines here is where that is the case.

:03:32.:03:34.

Great movement. He's got such powerful legs. Look at this. Leaps

:03:35.:03:56.

in the air. He got himself in position and by the time he was

:03:57.:04:00.

landing, his body weight had been transferred and he was moving back

:04:01.:04:01.

towards the centre of the court. Oh! Fantastic power play, there.

:04:02.:04:26.

Wonderful power and placement on the smash. I like the variation. Some

:04:27.:04:36.

crosscourt, some down the line. That one into the middle of his chest.

:04:37.:05:13.

Good rally! CHEERING

:05:14.:05:28.

Very, very well worked. By Chen Long. So typical, that rally. He

:05:29.:05:37.

just absorbs everything that his opponent throws at him and then

:05:38.:05:41.

suddenly, after the rally has been in progress for some considerable

:05:42.:05:51.

time, suddenly you looks to attack. -- he looks to attack. It was

:05:52.:05:56.

certainly wonderful court coverage. His ability to just keep getting it

:05:57.:05:59.

back in play and then just a quick switch to attack... Beautifully

:06:00.:06:02.

done. Forced to play the high backhand.

:06:03.:06:56.

Missed it! Missed it. That's a pity. Worked the rally well. One of the

:06:57.:07:03.

rare occasions when he was able to dictate the pace.

:07:04.:07:37.

What a shot! Lee Chong Wei. Pleased with that and so he should be. Look

:07:38.:07:54.

at that net tumble. Hit the top of the table and went over. How on

:07:55.:07:59.

earth do you try and control that? You can't, is the answer.

:08:00.:08:20.

That is well left. A little net roll again. Tied to the net to get that

:08:21.:08:38.

error off Chen Long. The net coverage in that net battle is going

:08:39.:08:40.

to be so important in this match. Whoever controls the net tends to

:08:41.:08:59.

control the rallies. These players so good at retrieving the tactical

:09:00.:09:09.

shots that frankly until you force the left through the net shot, there

:09:10.:09:15.

isn't really the opportunity to play the winner. Or there is rarely the

:09:16.:09:17.

opportunity. Apologises for the good fortune. But

:09:18.:09:39.

a 4-point advantage to Lee Chong Wei here at the midpoint interval of

:09:40.:09:49.

this opening game. Amazingly he has won 11 of the last 13 points,

:09:50.:09:53.

because he was love four down, wasn't he?

:09:54.:10:45.

Well, the Malaysian fans are always very colourful. Lots of banners.

:10:46.:11:43.

Well, he appeared to be in control for most of the rally then, Lee

:11:44.:11:46.

Chong Wei. Chen Long certainly has that

:11:47.:12:03.

incredible ability to return shuttles from all parts of the

:12:04.:12:09.

court, which, eventually, when you go for your shot, you overplay it

:12:10.:12:12.

because he covers so much court so effectively.

:12:13.:12:51.

Oh! My word. That is extraordinary. What a backhand from Chen Long.

:12:52.:13:02.

Under real pressure. And there is virtually no backswing of the

:13:03.:13:07.

racket. Take a look at this, as he plays this backhand. How does he

:13:08.:13:13.

generate that power? Superb timing. He just hit that shot so crisply.

:13:14.:13:15.

Fast and flat. That is well taken. But he is

:13:16.:13:53.

challenging, instinctively, Chen Long. I thought that had landed in,

:13:54.:13:57.

but we will wait for the instant review. Here we go. Oh no, that was

:13:58.:14:04.

out! Difficult angle to see that from. The instant review system has

:14:05.:14:10.

cameras looking straight down the line. I think that is a good

:14:11.:14:19.

challenge, actually, from Chen Long. Here we go. Oh! It caught the line.

:14:20.:14:32.

Well, a whisker. It was lovely play by Lee Chong Wei, really

:14:33.:14:39.

anticipating taking it early and taking his chances.

:14:40.:15:23.

Another challenge here. Second challenge in two rallies.

:15:24.:15:37.

Very, very difficult. Instinctively I thought that was wide as he hit

:15:38.:15:46.

it. This is why we need the instant review system. Yes, it was out. Good

:15:47.:15:57.

call. So he has no challenges left in this opening game. No challenges

:15:58.:16:03.

remaining, says the umpire. That has landed in, but it was

:16:04.:16:30.

called out. In every rally we are having a challenge!

:16:31.:16:36.

That is another good call by the line judge.

:16:37.:16:45.

That is where he is dangerous, Chen Long. His opponent is scampering

:16:46.:17:41.

back in court, and Chen Long moves back so quickly to be able to play

:17:42.:17:49.

the attacking shots, that is when he pounces and gets him off-balance.

:17:50.:17:54.

Nice movement back into the court, behind the shuttle. Nice net play.

:17:55.:17:59.

Setting it up effectively. That looked nervous to me. That

:18:00.:18:30.

block from Lee Chong Wei. It seemed to be in control -- he seemed to be

:18:31.:18:37.

in control at 13-9, and all of a sudden Chen Long is back in it. He

:18:38.:18:44.

certainly needs to maintain the confidence around the front court

:18:45.:18:50.

and be able to play those shots tight to

:18:51.:18:56.

To the net. Another from Lee Chong Wei, a definite sign he was trying

:18:57.:19:15.

to inject some pace of movement. As well as pace of shot. With how our

:19:16.:19:23.

leaky there. A 4-point deficit has been closed. They are level.

:19:24.:19:53.

My goodness, that was close to going over.

:19:54.:20:03.

Brilliant. And what courage after that previous rally, when he

:20:04.:20:41.

attempted a shot on his forehand side, hit the top and fell back his

:20:42.:20:48.

own side. This time that is perfect from his backhand side. Even with

:20:49.:20:53.

Lee Chong Wei ready to pounce. Perfection.

:20:54.:21:26.

How did Lee Chong Wei get away with that?

:21:27.:21:28.

CHEERING More perfect net play from the World

:21:29.:21:33.

Champion. That net game is so important, being

:21:34.:21:46.

able to move forward and apply the pressure at the front court, playing

:21:47.:21:53.

with control. Two wonderful points. Controlling the tumbles at the net.

:21:54.:22:03.

For the first time since he had 4-3, Chen Long is in the lead.

:22:04.:22:19.

That was the silver medallist from the 2003 World Championships, the

:22:20.:22:24.

front row supporter. Chen Long was caught off balance,

:22:25.:23:03.

expecting the high left from the Lee Chong Wei backhand. But Lee Chong

:23:04.:23:06.

Wei played the perfect shot. The psychological game, look at that.

:23:07.:23:09.

Looking straight at his opponent after the rally. This really is the

:23:10.:23:16.

crucial stage of this opening game. 15-15.

:23:17.:23:35.

Open up the court. Deep forehand first of all. Then the backhand net.

:23:36.:23:45.

Then he thunders one down the forehand side again. A wonderful

:23:46.:23:56.

injection of pace in the end. A powerful overhead. Stretching his

:23:57.:24:03.

opponent, getting the open court, and a very nice put away.

:24:04.:24:41.

Goodness. The defence from Chen Long is superb. But I think his defensive

:24:42.:24:47.

shot may have been going wide. Lee Chong Wei was so early on to it that

:24:48.:24:53.

he thought he could just play the simple one. Is this going wide? Yes,

:24:54.:24:58.

it was. The mistake from Lee Chong Wei. That will give a psychological

:24:59.:25:01.

boost to Chen Long. Brilliant.

:25:02.:25:08.

CHEERING The former world champion is feeling

:25:09.:26:19.

at the moment with his former team-mate.

:26:20.:26:37.

Nine of the last 12 points going to Chen Long.

:26:38.:27:19.

I do not believe that defence, that is fantastic. This is crucial. Chen

:27:20.:27:41.

Long has found the net. Huge psychological difference between

:27:42.:27:48.

17-18 or 16-19. That was very, very important.

:27:49.:28:37.

He has made another mistake at the front of the court on his net play,

:28:38.:28:50.

Lee Chong Wei. It is incredible, the coverage by Chen Long around the

:28:51.:28:53.

court. He just keeps getting the shuttle backhand in play. -- back

:28:54.:29:06.

and in play. Three errors at the front of the court in the last five

:29:07.:29:08.

rallies. Two points on advantage and two

:29:09.:29:20.

points away from the opening game, the number two seed, Chen Long.

:29:21.:30:01.

Brilliant play from Chen Long! Vary, very early at the net. Wonderful --

:30:02.:30:20.

and that wonderful rally has earned the world champion three-game point

:30:21.:30:26.

opportunities. Forced to take the shuttle late, Lee Chong Wei.

:30:27.:30:50.

It's gone wide. One game point squandered.

:30:51.:31:32.

CHEERING Yes, second game point opportunity

:31:33.:31:41.

is converted. By the number two seed, Chen Long. 21-18 confirms the

:31:42.:31:53.

umpire. 35 minutes for that opening game. And it was those three errors

:31:54.:32:01.

on the net play from Lee Chong Wei that cost him so dear. Confirmation

:32:02.:32:11.

of the opening game for the world champion, Chen Long.

:32:12.:33:04.

It was a gargantuan match that Lee Chong Wei played in the semifinal.

:33:05.:33:11.

He looks a little bit tired. Two more games to come if he is to come

:33:12.:33:15.

away with gold here in the Riocentro arena. Let's have a quick look and

:33:16.:33:24.

see what's going on on day 12 of -- David Dein.

:33:25.:33:26.

-- date 15 of Rio 2016. There is tae kwon do. If you haven't seen in

:33:27.:33:42.

Lutalo Muhammad's final, you have to go online and see if. Heartbreaking.

:33:43.:33:48.

The gymnastics arena is still full, rhythmic gymnastics taking place

:33:49.:33:52.

right now, if you want to see them with the ribbon and the hope and the

:33:53.:33:55.

rest of it. The Red Button is the place to go if you are a rhythmic

:33:56.:33:59.

gymnastics fan. There is wrestling to boot as well. It is all there for

:34:00.:34:07.

you on the Red Button. The BBC Sport website and the app. Back to Lee

:34:08.:34:16.

Chong Wei's mission in the men's singles final. He has stopped being

:34:17.:34:27.

as aggressive with his attacking play as he was earlier in the match.

:34:28.:34:28.

That is delightful. There seemed to be a lot of tension,

:34:29.:34:38.

at the front of the court too. Whether it is just nerves or the

:34:39.:34:42.

ability to confidently played to the front court, also just that

:34:43.:34:46.

injection of pace that he needed to bring into the game with the

:34:47.:34:50.

variation towards the end for Lee Chong Wei.

:34:51.:35:05.

That backhand defence wide from Chen Long. Very effective, the way he

:35:06.:35:17.

took it so high. That one as well, beautifully done. He's covering

:35:18.:35:23.

everything, isn't he? Chen Long. Lovely play.

:35:24.:36:28.

Yes. That's a real demonstration of the frustration that Chen Long

:36:29.:36:39.

causes his opponents, because he scrambles so much back, his

:36:40.:36:45.

retrieving capabilities are extraordinary. Because of his

:36:46.:36:50.

strong, powerful legs he is able to stay on balance and in the end, Lee

:36:51.:36:55.

Chong Wei feeling he had got to hit the line, play the winner, and he

:36:56.:37:00.

made the error. And I'm really not convinced that Lee Chong Wei should

:37:01.:37:07.

be drawn into these long rallies of just trying to outmanoeuvre. I think

:37:08.:37:10.

he needs to put pressure on his opponent by playing more attacking

:37:11.:37:11.

shots. He's doing all the attacking. He's

:37:12.:37:49.

certainly playing right to the corners, certainly stretching Lee

:37:50.:38:01.

Chong Wei. Excellent play. But I think you're right when you were

:38:02.:38:07.

discussing before, Lee Chong Wei needs to start to try to direct the

:38:08.:38:15.

play. Be confident in his shots. He seems to be playing a little too

:38:16.:38:20.

safe rather than trying to direct his opponents around the court. The

:38:21.:38:28.

problem is, confidence is earned. You can't just switch it on like a

:38:29.:38:34.

light. If you make those sorts of errors, a little bit of self doubt

:38:35.:38:37.

comes in and you're not too sure about playing the lines and backing

:38:38.:38:44.

yourself. But Chen Long, he is playing with full confidence and he

:38:45.:38:46.

has got that wonderful court coverage.

:38:47.:38:57.

Well, if you are a Malaysia and fan, you would be very concerned right

:38:58.:39:04.

now. Is Lee Chong Wei looking fragile? Is

:39:05.:39:17.

it going through his mind, "No, this can't happen again for a third

:39:18.:39:25.

Olympic final"? If it is, he has to block it out. Easier said than done,

:39:26.:39:33.

isn't it! All the sports psychologist will talk to you and

:39:34.:39:36.

say you've got to think in a positive way, but the reality is,

:39:37.:39:42.

when you're on court, you cannot help but think some of these things

:39:43.:39:43.

that you shouldn't be thinking. Well, this is the end of the court

:39:44.:40:01.

from which Lee Chong Wei won the second game of his semifinal against

:40:02.:40:04.

the former Olympic champion, Lin Dan. There is Chen Long's

:40:05.:40:12.

girlfriend. She is currently ranked number eight in the world in the

:40:13.:40:18.

women's tingles. Just missed out on Olympic qualification because of two

:40:19.:40:23.

higher ranked Chinese players. You're only allowed a maximum of two

:40:24.:40:25.

players per discipline. Now that's what I think Lee Chong

:40:26.:41:00.

Wei should be doing more of. He's followed up a good, strong smashed

:41:01.:41:07.

down the line. The fast pushed deep into the Chen Long backhand. DP goes

:41:08.:41:17.

for the winner with the 's forehand smash. -- he goes deep down the

:41:18.:41:21.

line. Their team-mates winning a second

:41:22.:42:05.

executive Gold Medal in the men's doubles yesterday. Back here to

:42:06.:42:06.

support his team-mate. Well, the coach knows what it's like

:42:07.:42:27.

to lose an Olympic final. He lost the final in Sydney in 2000.

:42:28.:42:50.

Lee Chong Wei's serve is -- Chen Long's serve is short of the mark.

:42:51.:43:15.

Oh! That was going out! My goodness, he played the perfect net shot, Lee

:43:16.:43:28.

Chong Wei. He was really hesitant, wasn't he? He was into Mainz, but he

:43:29.:43:34.

got away with it. Chen Long was in. He was ready to take the shot. The

:43:35.:43:41.

net cord helping Lee Chong Wei. He got it back himself, Lee Chong Wei.

:43:42.:44:10.

Yes, that has landed in. Lee Chong Wei telling the umpire. The

:44:11.:44:25.

full-length dive. Some of the strapping coming loose on his knees.

:44:26.:44:34.

Not a new injury problem, he wears that strapping all the time for his

:44:35.:44:37.

matches. That was good judgment. My goodness.

:44:38.:45:38.

There is a challenge. I thought that was definitely alt. -- out. We will

:45:39.:45:50.

see. Yes, clearly out. We have had four

:45:51.:46:05.

challenges in this final so far, not one of them has been correct. So

:46:06.:46:08.

well done to the line judges, doing a great job. Are not four straight

:46:09.:46:17.

points for Lee Chong Wei. He has overdone it, and again Lee

:46:18.:47:34.

Chong Wei looks towards the deep forehand corner and turns to his

:47:35.:47:38.

coaches to say, should I have left it? It was not -- wasn't going out?

:47:39.:47:42.

I suspect it was. Trying to play a high backhand

:47:43.:48:51.

across Croscombe -- across court. Seems a strange choice of shot.

:48:52.:48:56.

Inevitably he played himself into difficulty with that. Chen Long has

:48:57.:49:03.

great movement across the court, got right behind the shuttle. They are

:49:04.:49:05.

back level, 8-8. There are signs he is riddled with

:49:06.:49:25.

regards. -- nerves. A defensive shot, another sign of

:49:26.:50:27.

nerves, perhaps. Another run of five straight points now. Chen Long. He

:50:28.:50:31.

is looking more and more impressive. The Malaysian fans are trying to get

:50:32.:50:49.

behind our man. Good aggression from the World

:50:50.:51:45.

Champion, Chen Long. A round of six straight points and has the

:51:46.:51:50.

advantage at the mid-game interval of game number two, having already

:51:51.:51:59.

taken the first. Well, this will be a crucial

:52:00.:52:04.

coaching bench as far as the Malaysian is concerned.

:52:05.:52:27.

He is quietly and calmly talking to Lee Chong Wei. He knows he has the

:52:28.:52:41.

capability, but this is so yearned for, this match and title, that he

:52:42.:52:46.

wants. Perhaps he wants it too much, I do not know. And having built

:52:47.:52:54.

himself up to play against the two-time defending Olympic champion

:52:55.:53:01.

in yesterday's semifinal, perhaps psychologically as well as

:53:02.:53:03.

physically, he is tired and drained from that. But if he wants to extend

:53:04.:53:13.

the final, he needs to pull himself together, Lee Chong Wei. Needs to be

:53:14.:53:15.

clear about his game plan. What a strange error from Chen Long.

:53:16.:53:32.

Chen Long has been really picking the right shuttle them within from.

:53:33.:53:37.

He has been placing shuttles around the court waiting for the

:53:38.:53:41.

opportunity to move forward, and anticipating and moving quick into

:53:42.:53:44.

the court. Just needs to continue the play.

:53:45.:54:04.

He wants the shuttlecock changed. It is nice to see that the two men have

:54:05.:54:11.

respect for each other when the other asks to change the shuttle. It

:54:12.:54:19.

has done so immediately. Doesn't always happen in other disciplines

:54:20.:54:20.

in Badminton. What a rally. It is the net play

:54:21.:54:59.

that once again lets down. I am not convinced with that smash. I am not

:55:00.:55:04.

sure it was the right moment to play it. I do not think he needs to play

:55:05.:55:14.

a more aggressive style of game. -- I do think. But it has to be done at

:55:15.:55:16.

the right time. Oh, my goodness. That was long by a

:55:17.:56:04.

whisker. Very fortunate for Lee Chong Wei, just going along of the

:56:05.:56:05.

line. Stash My goodness me!

:56:06.:56:38.

How many errors has Lee Chong Wei made on his net play today? It just

:56:39.:56:47.

shows the importance of the net battles and rallies, being confident

:56:48.:56:50.

to be able to play that and get into position. Chen Long playing very

:56:51.:57:00.

confidently around the front. Lee Chong Wei just has a little bit of

:57:01.:57:02.

hesitation. That is the difference. Again, I am really not convinced by

:57:03.:57:41.

the crosscourt clear. Yes, it is not getting him in good position, and

:57:42.:57:49.

Lee Chong -- two is getting crosscourt.

:57:50.:57:56.

They have to take into account the drift going two ways, lengthways and

:57:57.:58:03.

sideways, and he is not hitting a good enough clear with that. Crisis

:58:04.:58:10.

time for the world number one, Lee Chong Wei. Time is running out

:58:11.:58:17.

because the World Champion is looking very good at the moment.

:58:18.:58:39.

My goodness, didn't Malaysian need that?

:58:40.:59:23.

That is a clever smash. He needed that point. Lee Chong Wei, great

:59:24.:59:39.

elevation, into the body. Just an injection of pace at the right time.

:59:40.:59:47.

Lee Chong Wei has to pick the right shot to attack. That is the head

:59:48.:59:53.

coach. He is looking a little more concerned now.

:59:54.:00:24.

And that is long. There is a challenge here from Lee Chong Wei.

:00:25.:00:49.

No, that is clearly out, no question. There was a moment earlier

:00:50.:00:58.

on in that rally after there had been some desperate defence from Lee

:00:59.:01:02.

Chong Wei when he threw in the clear again and I thought why on earth?

:01:03.:01:08.

That was the moment he needed to smash and play the attacking shot.

:01:09.:01:33.

He hasn't won a title yet this year, Chen Long. He has been in three

:01:34.:01:43.

finals and lost them all. Lee Chong Wei has been in four finals and won

:01:44.:01:52.

them all. Such an important point this one. Lee Chong Wei needs to

:01:53.:01:55.

stay in touch. Perhaps the nerves are kicking in

:01:56.:02:00.

with Chen Long as well. What a rally! There is a challenge.

:02:01.:03:00.

It was called good, I thought it was good, but Lee Chong Wei doesn't

:03:01.:03:01.

agree. Oh, no, that was plumb on the line.

:03:02.:03:18.

So almost certainly he will lose the second challenge. Yes, it was right

:03:19.:03:30.

on the line. So, no more challenges left for Lee Chong Wei in this

:03:31.:03:33.

second game. The defence in that rally was

:03:34.:03:42.

extraordinary. He just wants to try out the new

:03:43.:04:16.

racket. And have a new shuttle, too. 33rd

:04:17.:04:27.

shuttle of the match. It is well long of the backline. And

:04:28.:05:17.

Chen Long is three points away from making his streams reality. -- his

:05:18.:05:24.

dreams. Why on earth wasn't he playing

:05:25.:05:52.

aggressively like that earlier on? It is what he needs to do, isn't it?

:05:53.:05:59.

Take his opportunity, play the angles, keep the rally is short, if

:06:00.:06:02.

he gets the chance to attack the shuttle. He has to go now, Lee Chong

:06:03.:06:14.

Wei. Yeah, it's now or never. You sense his time is running out.

:06:15.:06:23.

He really needs to direct the rallies from here on in.

:06:24.:06:54.

Went for the attacking shot, as I suggested he should, but finding the

:06:55.:07:03.

net. And that is a clear sign of nerves.

:07:04.:07:09.

Yes, the anguish on the face of Lee Chong Wei. Chen Long is two points

:07:10.:07:15.

away from the gold medal. The nerves are rattling both of

:07:16.:07:38.

them. There is no other stage like it, is

:07:39.:07:54.

the? And Olympic gold medal on the line. The nerves have to come into

:07:55.:07:56.

it. Now Chen Long has four gold medal

:07:57.:08:12.

points. Has he left it too late, Lee Chong

:08:13.:09:11.

Wei? The smash and the quick follow-up is what I've been

:09:12.:09:13.

expecting all match. It is still match point for Chen

:09:14.:09:29.

Long. He has missed it! Would you believe

:09:30.:10:14.

it? My goodness me. Lee Chong Wei has been thrown a lifeline.

:10:15.:10:20.

Incredible defensive work by Lee Chong Wei. Chen Long taking it right

:10:21.:10:28.

up to him with the attack. Two match point have come and gone. Another

:10:29.:10:30.

two remain. Oh, it is wide. Chen Long, the

:10:31.:11:15.

two-time world champion becomes the Olympic champion.

:11:16.:11:24.

21-18, 20 1-18. What a performance from the world champion. But spare a

:11:25.:11:40.

thought for the world number one, Lee Chong Wei.

:11:41.:11:49.

ORE: Well, we have seen blood, sweat and so many tears in the badminton

:11:50.:11:59.

arena. Congratulations, Chen Long, the Olympic champion, but Malaysia's

:12:00.:12:04.

wait for an Olympic gold medal goes on. Three Olympic finals for Lee

:12:05.:12:11.

Chong Wei, and he is still to win the gold. Chen Long wins and the

:12:12.:12:17.

gold medals stays in China. What an incredible match. Michael Jamieson,

:12:18.:12:23.

the British son, thank you for tweeting us, that was simply

:12:24.:12:27.

stunning, wasn't it? We're going to the golf now because even more

:12:28.:12:33.

sensational action. Charley Hull is still hoping to come away with a

:12:34.:12:38.

medal. But you wait so long for a hole in one. I think we've had three

:12:39.:12:42.

in the space of 1.5 rounds. Kat Downes? We like to tease it up

:12:43.:12:50.

before we revealer it. You may not have heard of Russia's Matteo

:12:51.:12:57.

Manassero, but she is known on the golf course for her rather

:12:58.:13:01.

flamboyant headwear. She wears this enormous Pfizer as she goes around.

:13:02.:13:12.

But she's straight in the hole. That catapulted her eight under par, and

:13:13.:13:19.

she didn't even realise that ball had gone in. Here is Charley Hull,

:13:20.:13:24.

Britain's Charley Hull. She is going well, too. She is seven under par,

:13:25.:13:30.

meaning she is tied for fifth at the moment but it is tight at the top

:13:31.:13:36.

with everyone chasing this lady, these seven time major winner, Inbee

:13:37.:13:41.

Park. She has a stranglehold on this contest. She's 15 under par, so

:13:42.:13:46.

she's six shots clear of the rest of the field. It looks like gold is

:13:47.:13:49.

going to career, barring any major meltdown from Inbee Park but it is

:13:50.:14:02.

those two players Chinese and the New Zealand player in second and on

:14:03.:14:09.

nine under par. Charley Hull is tied fifth. So Charley Hull just turning

:14:10.:14:16.

for home now and she's in with a chance of a medal.

:14:17.:14:56.

It is time to go diving with Tom Daley. Let's go into the Maria Lenk

:14:57.:15:08.

Aquatics Centre. I will get a lemon sorbet later, I think. Also

:15:09.:15:14.

successful Jack Law and Chris Mears. What can Tom Daley do? He took

:15:15.:15:21.

bronze on the ten metres platform back in London, he is the again at

:15:22.:15:27.

the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, Helen Skelton, what is going on?

:15:28.:15:33.

The way this works is that there are three rounds. If Tom gets through

:15:34.:15:40.

this he makes it through to the final tonight. Jack Law, Chris

:15:41.:15:45.

Mears, talk us through Tom's performance yesterday in the

:15:46.:15:50.

prelims. It was impressive. It was, he did every single dive at

:15:51.:15:57.

8.5, nine, and above. To get an Olympic record in the club and we --

:15:58.:16:04.

in the preliminary round is fantastic. Has he done too much too

:16:05.:16:12.

soon? I think he will get a lot of confidence from that, a prelim is

:16:13.:16:17.

normally the hard face of competing. Really long rounds, 25 minutes for

:16:18.:16:32.

each dive -- phase. But he will get confidence from that and the other

:16:33.:16:35.

guys will be a little bit scared of him. He certainly put down a marker

:16:36.:16:41.

to the Chinese, said, hey boys, this is what I got. How difficult is it

:16:42.:16:47.

to stand up there and do what he is doing? We do three metres and he

:16:48.:16:53.

does ten metres, it is completely a different event really, like the

:16:54.:16:59.

difference between sprinting and a marathon. That is a classed either.

:17:00.:17:05.

To present that in a prelim when there's so much pressure to make it

:17:06.:17:12.

to the semifinals, the nerves, you are outdoors, conditions changing,

:17:13.:17:16.

we think it sends a message to other competitors in this event that he is

:17:17.:17:21.

here to do business. At that point do you look at what everyone else

:17:22.:17:25.

has got? You know what they are capable of, but will he be watching

:17:26.:17:30.

the others? Identity is that concerned. You can tell he is in the

:17:31.:17:35.

right place and literally, he just came out, I don't think he would

:17:36.:17:39.

even have looked at the other guys. -- I don't think he is concerned. He

:17:40.:17:44.

just wanted to win that feeling 100 ascent, and that is what he did.

:17:45.:17:49.

Fair play to you guys for being here for every session, you would be

:17:50.:17:51.

justified in going out partying. His Olympic silver medallist from

:17:52.:18:10.

four years ago. Qiu Bo. That is a heck of a dive. Most athletes go for

:18:11.:18:14.

that in the tuck position, much safer. This had a higher degree of

:18:15.:18:19.

difficulty. Look how close his toes,. In fact they hit the board.

:18:20.:18:25.

If the judges saw that they were penalised him but he was spinning so

:18:26.:18:29.

quickly they might have missed it. This is why I would not want to do

:18:30.:18:35.

this dive. He is only tiny in height so he does get into a little tight

:18:36.:18:42.

bunch. The judges have not seen it. Look at that score. Remember, they

:18:43.:18:49.

don't get the replays that we get. Although will you and did spot that

:18:50.:18:59.

in real time so well done to him. -- Leon did spot that in real time.

:19:00.:19:07.

Tom Daley, the man who led for four out of six rounds in the prelims.

:19:08.:19:13.

Not as good as yesterday but it is good enough. I want to brief

:19:14.:19:17.

everyone, this is just the semifinal. What we saw from Tom

:19:18.:19:24.

Daley yesterday was electric. I want to see him diving well, but I want

:19:25.:19:39.

to see him just whacking -- backing off the gas. We were talking

:19:40.:19:49.

yesterday, can you hold back? Surely if you are a diver you commit or you

:19:50.:19:58.

don't. You cannot back off. As soon as you take off that is it for the

:19:59.:20:04.

entire dive. But it would be nice for him to make it through, which we

:20:05.:20:09.

all hope he does, and then apply pressure to the field, because going

:20:10.:20:14.

last is a lot of pressure on you. Especially if you know the diver

:20:15.:20:19.

will get you a medal or not. But if you apply pressure to the field by

:20:20.:20:22.

finishing a bit lower down in the semifinals then you are applying

:20:23.:20:25.

pressure to other people might then find it harder to come heat. -- to

:20:26.:20:34.

compete. Let's take another look at the dive of Qiu Bo. His feet clipped

:20:35.:20:44.

the ball. How dangerous is that? He is closer than he wants to be. He

:20:45.:20:48.

normally has pretty good clearance. But that is a very difficult to dive

:20:49.:20:53.

in the pike position when most divers go for the tuck position. So

:20:54.:21:00.

it is a danger. The fact he quit his feet, he possibly expected a little

:21:01.:21:05.

bit of a toe tap. It is not a massive deal. It is not nice to see,

:21:06.:21:10.

but it is not a mass of concern. If they come close with their head,

:21:11.:21:14.

that is when the judges need to score it very low because it is too

:21:15.:21:21.

close to the board. Last night Tom blew away the field. What do you

:21:22.:21:27.

make of this first-time effort? It is a strong effort, a really

:21:28.:21:33.

consistent dive. He has a decent score, eighth place... It is good.

:21:34.:21:41.

What about the judging. People ask question, hold on, why are these

:21:42.:21:45.

scores crossed out? It is to eliminate human error, right? Yes,

:21:46.:21:52.

they take off the top two and bottom two scores to get a kind of average.

:21:53.:22:00.

It is a really good opener for Tom. You don't want him to kill it this

:22:01.:22:05.

morning and ran out of fuel too early. But it is a really good

:22:06.:22:12.

opener for him. Let's rejoin round two.

:22:13.:22:17.

You need to be very skilful to get this done. A double somersault, two

:22:18.:22:26.

and a half twists, so much going on. Interesting twist style, hands in

:22:27.:22:31.

the centre, we often see it in trampolining. He squared it up

:22:32.:22:35.

nicely and just about got it in. A huge score, much better from

:22:36.:22:46.

Bedggood. Yes, he sneaked into this semifinal and that is much better

:22:47.:22:52.

from Bedggood, the Australian, who goes into top position for the time

:22:53.:23:00.

being. 20 more to come. Nikita Shleikher, a big dive for the

:23:01.:23:08.

Russian. This is a high risk dive, many athletes going for it because

:23:09.:23:11.

of the degree of difficulty, if you get it right, like Tom Daley

:23:12.:23:18.

yesterday, you can get 103. But he messed up his finish, over rotated,

:23:19.:23:23.

lots of splash, a volcano as he entered the water. The splash is

:23:24.:23:31.

thrown up. The marks with the lines through them do not count. The ones

:23:32.:23:39.

in the career do. 6.5, Nikita Shleikher, not the required score

:23:40.:23:45.

from his point of view. A man know who really does push things to the

:23:46.:23:54.

limit. Started with a 3.7. Here comes his arm stand. The noise in

:23:55.:24:04.

the crowd has subsided. Here comes the arm stand back double somersault

:24:05.:24:09.

with two and a half twists, for the Mexican. He gets such a good

:24:10.:24:20.

take-off. Johnson drifted too far. But Ivan Garcia has got the

:24:21.:24:28.

technique down on this. 3.6 degrees of difficulty. That gives you an

:24:29.:24:34.

idea of how tricky this is. Garcia, just a little short going into the

:24:35.:24:40.

water, unable to keep all of the splash down, but a bit better than

:24:41.:24:45.

yesterday. We expect to see the Mexican making it through. Cannot

:24:46.:24:50.

wait for round five, but it is a little way off yet. Garcia, two very

:24:51.:25:03.

high tariff dives from them. -- for him. One Canadian is out, one

:25:04.:25:12.

remains. A different version of the arm stand this time. It is not 3.6,

:25:13.:25:20.

it is 3.3. This is vertical. The arm stand back three somersault for

:25:21.:25:28.

Vincent Riendeau. That is our first banana of the semifinal. Vincent

:25:29.:25:36.

Riendeau, just not quite getting what we call the donkey kick right,

:25:37.:25:42.

to get enough rotation. So is he bends his knees and flicks into it

:25:43.:25:45.

he does not quite get the rotation we need, so he turns into a banana

:25:46.:25:52.

in order to get it more vertical. A pretty good save and he gets away

:25:53.:26:00.

with that. The Canadian, for the time being, goes to third. Now the

:26:01.:26:09.

Brazilian getting the applause. The crowd wants to Hugo Parisi to up his

:26:10.:26:22.

game. That is much better. He will need a little bit of luck on his

:26:23.:26:26.

side because the degree of difficulty is low all the way

:26:27.:26:32.

through. This is 3.0, the lowest degree of difficulty, so it needs to

:26:33.:26:37.

be good. He got eight on this yesterday. 72 yesterday. Let's see

:26:38.:26:44.

what he gets today. We have a new set of judges from last night. But

:26:45.:26:49.

they see that dive exactly the same way. 72, Hugo Parisi, after a 57

:26:50.:26:58.

opening, so a much better standing. This man just missed out on a medal

:26:59.:27:01.

at the World Championships in Barcelona 2013. German Sanchez, the

:27:02.:27:12.

other Mexican. The tariff across-the-board the same as Ivan

:27:13.:27:21.

Garcia has. Inward 3.54 German Sanchez, currently in fifth place.

:27:22.:27:28.

That is a little underwhelming. Sanchez can do, and has done in the

:27:29.:27:36.

past, and inward 4.5. So he is leaving that to his team-mate and

:27:37.:27:41.

synchro partner. He almost took that a little too tentatively and did not

:27:42.:27:46.

lock out well enough on the finish, causing splash. He gets caned by the

:27:47.:27:55.

judges. They did not like it and all will he.

:27:56.:28:06.

-- nor will he. Woo Ha-ram, inward 3.5. Easy to get dizzy when you spin

:28:07.:28:25.

that quickly. He has raised his game for this final event. He makes this

:28:26.:28:31.

dive very easily. Feet pointing toward the ceiling. Just does not

:28:32.:28:36.

quite get the vertical entry, does he? He somersault under the water to

:28:37.:28:44.

try to keep the splashdown. A little frustrated. He knows he will need to

:28:45.:28:50.

work hard to make it through. He might slip a place or two. Now,

:28:51.:28:58.

Rafael Quintero, we keep saying it, he really impressed us yesterday.

:28:59.:29:03.

This is his biggest dive of the programme. Forward 4.5. Let's go,

:29:04.:29:18.

Quintero, wonderful diving. So easy to make a mistake. As we have seen

:29:19.:29:22.

from the Canadian and a few others, only choosing a forward three .5 in

:29:23.:29:29.

the pike position. So it takes real steel to go for it with this dive.

:29:30.:29:36.

Forward 4.5, high risk, and it comes off for the Puerto Rican. Whatever

:29:37.:29:42.

he is doing in America is suiting him down to the ground. 85, best

:29:43.:29:53.

mark of the round we have seen so far, for Quintero. Two Australians

:29:54.:30:00.

have made it into the semifinal, we have seen one, there is James

:30:01.:30:07.

Connor, currently amongst the group in eighth place. That is another

:30:08.:30:16.

good take-off from a technical point of view. Strong job, good throw of

:30:17.:30:22.

the arms, hips up and away, safe distance from the diving board, but

:30:23.:30:26.

just missing his finish. Talking in his chin and washing a little bit

:30:27.:30:29.

over. Over rotating. What did he get for that? He got a

:30:30.:30:54.

seven thrown in for good measure. Here's Viktor Minibaev. It is

:30:55.:31:06.

passable. We've already mentioned that it is high risk when Quintero

:31:07.:31:11.

nailed his. It is common for this dive to go astray for many athletes.

:31:12.:31:16.

There's only a very few amount can do it well, let's be fair. Minibaev

:31:17.:31:23.

landing a little bit short of vertical into the water, so the

:31:24.:31:27.

water hits him on the chest, which is why we we see him emptying the

:31:28.:31:42.

pool. 70.30 as we move on to the finalists from four years ago,

:31:43.:31:47.

exactly the same dive for the German, Sascha Klein. Did you hear

:31:48.:31:55.

the noise he made on the take-off? You landed on the end. There was a

:31:56.:32:00.

huge that which seem to take a lot of his power away because he doesn't

:32:01.:32:06.

quite get his hips up and over. As you can see here, Sascha Klein is

:32:07.:32:12.

running out of room and landing even shorter of vertical than Shleikher.

:32:13.:32:16.

It is the morning in Rio, the guys were diving last night, and they've

:32:17.:32:21.

got to dive tonight so it is a lot of diving in a short space of time

:32:22.:32:24.

and it could be affecting them energetically. It may well be for

:32:25.:32:32.

Klein. It is a decent score. It leaves them with some work to do. As

:32:33.:32:36.

indeed is the case for Martin Wolfram. He is trying to make up

:32:37.:32:42.

some marks from his first round. It needed to be good. Every diver

:32:43.:32:55.

must perform a dive from a different group. There are six groups. This is

:32:56.:33:00.

the inward. We've seen the forward, the back, the reverse, the twist,

:33:01.:33:05.

which is where you twist along the longitudinal axis or the handstand,

:33:06.:33:12.

or arm stand. All divers must do all six groups of diving. And he goes

:33:13.:33:21.

away with 67.20, which isn't what he is looking for. It put him outside

:33:22.:33:27.

the top 12 after this round. Here is a young man who has been competing

:33:28.:33:32.

this year, not in the Europeans, though, as we mentioned. He did get

:33:33.:33:39.

some second places. Here is Benjamin Auffret. He has everything dialled

:33:40.:33:51.

in. He's spinning around. The other day, I said he is like in a salad

:33:52.:33:58.

spinner. He's zipping around, he's pulling his knees far apart which

:33:59.:34:02.

increases the spin speed making this dive comfortably... In fact a little

:34:03.:34:09.

bit more to comfortably because when he picks his spot to come out, he

:34:10.:34:15.

over rotates with the opening to the chest, so he gets annoyed with

:34:16.:34:19.

himself. Certainly on this dive. It was the same yesterday when he came

:34:20.:34:24.

out, looking like he just got fours, but he does get a seven and 7.5. And

:34:25.:34:31.

he will be at the upper end of the list.

:34:32.:34:43.

That's very nice from our second American in this semifinal, Boudia.

:34:44.:34:52.

Such a great technician. He buries this finish but he has some of the

:34:53.:34:59.

guys effect, there is a massive bubble up afterwards. He needs to

:35:00.:35:05.

keep his splashdown. The National performance director likes it. Good

:35:06.:35:09.

enough from Boudia. The judges like it. Yeah, it is good.

:35:10.:35:18.

Onto the two Chinese before we get to Tom Daley. He has been the top

:35:19.:35:31.

ten-metre diver of the year. This one is in the pike position. That is

:35:32.:35:44.

much better from Chen Aisen. He's a crazy cat to do this dive.

:35:45.:35:49.

Unbelievable. 3.5 degrees of difficulty. It should be worth more

:35:50.:35:53.

than that from a degree of difficulty point of view. He puts

:35:54.:35:57.

his boots on temporarily, then slight over rotation. Today, this

:35:58.:36:06.

will be nines and that is better from him. That'll be 90 points

:36:07.:36:11.

because of the difficulty. Yeah, good return from Chen Aisen. 91 for

:36:12.:36:27.

him. We move onto Qiu Bo, our world champion and the Olympic

:36:28.:36:28.

silver-medallist from London. That is a fraction short of

:36:29.:36:45.

vertical. He got nines yesterday but this isn't as good. Opting to do

:36:46.:36:50.

this dive in the pike position, as Tom Daley does with a 3.5

:36:51.:36:56.

difficulty. He will get less than 80 points on bad. Considering he got 96

:36:57.:37:04.

on it yesterday he isn't at the same standard. That is a big reversal in

:37:05.:37:12.

terms of points. That won't even keep him in the top three. Garcia is

:37:13.:37:24.

above him, as is Boudia. Now, Tom Daley. What have you got for us?

:37:25.:37:39.

Just warming up into the bigger dives to come. It isn't unusual to

:37:40.:37:46.

see an error on this. This is his newest dive to the programme. This

:37:47.:37:51.

is the dive he nailed yesterday. This take-off lets him down ever so

:37:52.:37:56.

slightly. Not the speed he's used to, drops like a stone, lands short

:37:57.:38:03.

but it's OK. Between you and me and the millions of people watching and

:38:04.:38:06.

listening, I'd rather see it now than this afternoon. As long as he

:38:07.:38:14.

makes the top 12, though. Read a little bit extra from him later. 54

:38:15.:38:23.

it is Mark. At the moment, he is in 17th place after round two. So here

:38:24.:38:28.

are the standings after two rounds. Chen Aisen and David Boudia are one

:38:29.:38:39.

and two. That is the front page for you. How far is Tom Daley adrift of

:38:40.:38:46.

where he needs to be? He is 25 points behind Steele Johnson in

:38:47.:38:52.

12th. So, Tom Daley needs to be in the top 12 to be in the final. Not

:38:53.:38:59.

quite as good as it was last night, but is there any real cause for

:39:00.:39:03.

concern yet? Not yet. The weather conditions are hard, it feels very

:39:04.:39:08.

windy, especially at the top, at ten metres. Throwing yourself off, it

:39:09.:39:12.

can make it difficult the divers but he's trying to copy me, you know? I

:39:13.:39:19.

went well, I got a silver medal. Hopefully he'll finish top later. He

:39:20.:39:24.

is providing the drama will to see. It is only a second dive but what

:39:25.:39:30.

went wrong? This is a very complicated dive. He's the only one

:39:31.:39:34.

to be completing this. It is very technical. On that throw, he needs

:39:35.:39:38.

to be able to get the somersault speed quicker because you've such

:39:39.:39:43.

little time to fit in all those somersaults and twists in. When it

:39:44.:39:47.

is cold and windy up there, it can be hard for him to get the actual

:39:48.:39:51.

speed to get the rotation going. He landed short on the end but it is

:39:52.:39:55.

fine and he has four dives to come so it'll be OK. So, for people at

:39:56.:40:01.

home, were looking for a splash and we are also looking for...?

:40:02.:40:06.

Take-off, form, so legs coming apart, something like that, that is

:40:07.:40:11.

something judges will take points off for. The main thing is the

:40:12.:40:15.

entry. And how you land. He landed short. If you're landing upright,

:40:16.:40:20.

you're in contention but if you landed on your back, it is a lower

:40:21.:40:24.

score. And it is going to really hurt. Yes, and whether or not it

:40:25.:40:29.

looks good. Especially on the top camp, when they go in... And you see

:40:30.:40:35.

a small bellyflop. That isn't very good. You can have a chuckle about

:40:36.:40:40.

it now, because you have so much distance. Yeah, I can say what I

:40:41.:40:49.

want! Yeah, not a bad week at all. Let's check in with Kat Downes on

:40:50.:40:58.

the goal. Well were getting into the business end of the Gulf now. Those

:40:59.:41:05.

able Mish free round before this, her first mistake, Inbee Park. A

:41:06.:41:09.

drive finding the water, and she ended up dropping a shot, so she

:41:10.:41:14.

moves 14 under par for the tournament. Meanwhile, the Chinese

:41:15.:41:18.

superstar coming up behind her with back-to-back birdies, three in a

:41:19.:41:24.

row, and this is Charley Hull, who is making a move in the last few

:41:25.:41:28.

holes, making this birdie on the 11th. That took her to eight under,

:41:29.:41:33.

bringing her into one shot of the bronze medal. Another good news for

:41:34.:41:38.

Charley Hull is that the world number one, Lydia Ko, is one shot

:41:39.:41:41.

ahead of her at nine under and she's in trouble on the 11th, so Charley

:41:42.:41:45.

Hull making a move, seven holes left of around, she's got plenty of time

:41:46.:41:49.

now to manoeuvre herself into that bronze position. Follow the golf,

:41:50.:41:52.

back Charley Hull all the way home, on

:41:53.:42:13.

the Red Button, and you can follow it online and on the BBC sport. Back

:42:14.:42:16.

to you to the diving now. I love Charley Hull. I've played golf with

:42:17.:42:19.

her and needless to say I didn't win. Back to the semifinal of the

:42:20.:42:21.

men's ten-metre individual platform. Let's rejoin round three.

:42:22.:42:39.

He's got away with it. That take-off, well, it is dodgy. He

:42:40.:42:48.

drifts away from the platform, throwing the dive halfway down the

:42:49.:42:52.

pool which means controlling it is super tricky. Somehow, he manages a

:42:53.:42:56.

bit of jiggery-pokery, and he doesn't massively overrated. That is

:42:57.:43:04.

really good skills. Into the Jacuzzi. The judges came him from it

:43:05.:43:08.

because he's so far away from the platform. Is a long swim back. Dodge

:43:09.:43:12.

city. Well, it's OK. He's right on the

:43:13.:43:53.

marker with regards to the standings on the leaderboard. Inward 3.5, his

:43:54.:43:59.

lowest but 1 degrees of difficulty. One of his easiest dives. You'll

:44:00.:44:05.

need to be getting close to 80 points. He won't do that because

:44:06.:44:09.

he's a little bit scruffy, with one of his feet half pointed and the

:44:10.:44:17.

other one flat. The marks for the Canadian. They are OK. He might have

:44:18.:44:25.

wanted an extra ten out of that. There was a lot of cheering. There

:44:26.:44:30.

is a lot of Brazilian flags in the crowd. They greet the arrival of

:44:31.:44:41.

Hugo Parisi. This was his highest scoring dive yesterday,

:44:42.:44:44.

surprisingly. I've watched him land all over the pool on this dive. This

:44:45.:44:50.

is a diving technical term for everywhere but vertical and upright.

:44:51.:44:54.

Today he's done a reasonably good job at it isn't nowhere near as good

:44:55.:45:02.

as the score yesterday. So, not as good from our only Brazilian in this

:45:03.:45:06.

final. How he'd love to make the final tonight. That is the

:45:07.:45:15.

semifinal, sorry! His opening was 57, which means he's in danger of

:45:16.:45:22.

not making the top 12. We lose six but at the moment were not losing

:45:23.:45:26.

this man because he is comfortably inside the top 12 and will not even

:45:27.:45:30.

halfway yet. German Sanchez of Mexico, there are two Mexicans.

:45:31.:45:42.

Very similar to his dive in the prelims. The aerial work is good.

:45:43.:45:53.

Did not quite get into a tight enough to shake, a bit of a deck

:45:54.:45:57.

chair all the way around, we should see the thighs on the hamstrings,

:45:58.:46:02.

and look at that, a super splash. He will get punished either judges by

:46:03.:46:11.

way of the marks they award. Marks is followed. Gives him 62. Not

:46:12.:46:20.

anywhere near what he required. How quickly things can fluctuate. Woo

:46:21.:46:30.

Ha-ram, 3.4 in the tuck position. That is a swingy start, which is why

:46:31.:46:38.

he messed up the finish of the dive. He throws his shoulders a little bit

:46:39.:46:43.

aggressively. Luckily he moved his hips far enough forward from the

:46:44.:46:46.

diving board, but he cannot control that rotation. He warbles a little

:46:47.:46:55.

bit. Like driving a bus, steering a bus, in fact... Not today, I hope,

:46:56.:47:03.

he could be everywhere or anywhere. 68. This round has been very

:47:04.:47:09.

interesting. We have not yet had a decent score. Round three is proving

:47:10.:47:16.

problematic for those who have gone so far. This man has improved beyond

:47:17.:47:23.

all recognition in the last 12 months, 31st in the World

:47:24.:47:27.

Championships last year... That is why we did not recognise him. Yes,

:47:28.:47:35.

yet here is in the semifinal, Rafael Quintero of Puerto Rico. He is

:47:36.:47:42.

solid, and physically prepared as well. Like somebody you would see

:47:43.:47:54.

modelling on the beach. It can make diving a little bit difficult, he is

:47:55.:47:59.

very, very muscular, can be difficult to get into the water

:48:00.:48:03.

clean with no splash. Look at the size of his shoulders, really

:48:04.:48:06.

difficult from a ten metres platform point of view. Solid as a rock right

:48:07.:48:14.

now. Looks like he is heading upwards in terms of the standings, a

:48:15.:48:22.

long way shy of the World Championship finals last year but

:48:23.:48:27.

the Olympic finals is now in sight. James Connor, he has been playing

:48:28.:48:43.

peekaboo with us. This is a long way around, in the pike position, have

:48:44.:48:48.

off the field have gone for the forward 4.5, James Connor goes for

:48:49.:48:57.

the forward 3.5. He needs eight or upward to stay where he is. The

:48:58.:49:09.

competition is hotting up. Both of our screens are quite difficult to

:49:10.:49:15.

read at the moment but the market is 7.5, as the sun comes right around

:49:16.:49:19.

into our commentary position. We move on to Viktor Minibaev, reverse

:49:20.:49:30.

3.5, with tuck. He is eighth at the moment but it is very tight,

:49:31.:49:41.

positions 8-12. What a dive. Faltered previously but has now come

:49:42.:49:57.

out like a Phoenix with a pearl of a dive. Everything hotting up now. We

:49:58.:50:03.

are getting to the point of the competition where the degree of

:50:04.:50:09.

difficulty goes up a notch or two. That score actually matches what

:50:10.:50:19.

Chen Aisen did in the opening round, the best mark we have seen so far.

:50:20.:50:24.

Everybody must do an arm stand of one variety or another in these

:50:25.:50:30.

rounds and Sascha Klein chooses to do his in round three. He needed a

:50:31.:50:37.

good one. It is a dive he sometimes has difficulty with. Feet quite

:50:38.:50:42.

close to the diving board to get the rotation going, which is why he

:50:43.:50:46.

flattens his feet and points his toes only once safely by the board.

:50:47.:50:50.

That is a good score going the way of Sascha Klein, they needed it.

:50:51.:50:59.

Shows his experience, as Tom Daley will, I am sure, to rectify his

:51:00.:51:06.

second-round mistake. Almost 19, he needed it after a poor second round.

:51:07.:51:12.

The first of the two Germans, and here comes the next of them, Martin

:51:13.:51:20.

Wolfram, the younger, 24 years old, Martin Wolfram, reverse 3.5 with

:51:21.:51:31.

tuck. It is nice. I must admit I do not like his style when exiting the

:51:32.:51:36.

dive, tucking into a pike position then extending through, it does not

:51:37.:51:39.

look as classy as some of the others, in my opinion. But it is a

:51:40.:51:45.

very effective. And he lands vertically with hardly any splash. I

:51:46.:51:51.

think he needs a slightly different style, but that is his style, and

:51:52.:51:56.

what they don't screw away with. 81.4 -- what he gets away with.

:51:57.:52:09.

81.6, Martin Wolfram. Benjamin Auffret, with his forward 3.5. Nice

:52:10.:52:17.

finish, the easy option in the front group of guys. Forward 3.5 at 3.0,

:52:18.:52:26.

there are many more choices, but these are the ones the athlete are

:52:27.:52:30.

choosing to perform today and that is the best we have seen of this

:52:31.:52:35.

dive, mainly because of the quality of the entry. Look at this. See you.

:52:36.:52:47.

What will the judges make of that? 76.5, 8.5 across the board. As solid

:52:48.:52:55.

as he was yesterday. Coming up with good dive after good dive. David

:52:56.:53:01.

Boudia, defending champion, going for the forward 4.5. He is faltering

:53:02.:53:13.

as well. The take-off is good. The spin speed is more than adequate.

:53:14.:53:18.

Just licking his entry spot a little bit too close to the board. You can

:53:19.:53:23.

see his chin tucking in. And he rolls over into the water, that will

:53:24.:53:32.

be costly. His wife, I think, maybe, I am not sure if that is his wife...

:53:33.:53:38.

In any case, definitely a supporter. A little grimace rather than a

:53:39.:53:45.

cheer, which we would normally see from his supporters. Fifth, with

:53:46.:53:52.

three more to come, so still comfortable in terms of

:53:53.:53:55.

qualification but further down than he would like to be at this stage.

:53:56.:54:02.

Chen Aisen, time for his arm stand, back double somersault with two and

:54:03.:54:07.

a half twists, 3.6, higher degree of difficulty. It is a mega skilful.

:54:08.:54:16.

Because if anybody else takes off like this they would have had a lot

:54:17.:54:22.

of difficulty getting this dive into the upright position. He is really

:54:23.:54:26.

low but manages to dig into the pike shape. Excellent work from Chen

:54:27.:54:34.

Aisen. It will not be nine, but he gets away with a .5, and that means

:54:35.:54:41.

88 points, he is a country mile in front of the three excellent dives.

:54:42.:54:48.

An incredibly ugly take-off, does himself no favours, but he finishes

:54:49.:54:53.

it off, get around, and get it in, the important thing. Here comes Qiu

:54:54.:55:11.

Bo, down from 3.6 to 3.4 tariff. Gives it too much on the start. This

:55:12.:55:18.

might be the condition here. Beautiful sunshine on the board, and

:55:19.:55:23.

then into the shade. He picked his exit spot incorrectly. Look at that.

:55:24.:55:32.

Surfs up. Look at that wave. That is really unexpected from the silver

:55:33.:55:42.

medallist of four years ago. 56.1. When Tom Daley took World

:55:43.:55:44.

Championships gold in Rome conditions were not as -- not too

:55:45.:55:54.

different from this, outdoor pool, other divers missing their spots,

:55:55.:55:57.

and he came through in the situation. Nothing he has not

:55:58.:56:06.

experienced before. 17th, do not be too alarmed, if this goes well he

:56:07.:56:11.

will rocket up the standings. An stand, back, three somersaults with

:56:12.:56:16.

pike, 3.5 degrees of difficulty, he needs to get moving. Not yet. A

:56:17.:56:29.

little bit weak on his take-off. You can tell from his body language, he

:56:30.:56:34.

knows it was not what he was after. Does not quite get the momentum he

:56:35.:56:39.

needed. And just exit the dive way too early. We are seeing many of the

:56:40.:56:47.

top athletes faltering. All Tom Daley needs to do now is do his

:56:48.:56:51.

other three, and be good enough to make it through. I am not concerned.

:56:52.:56:58.

I know you will all be on my Twitter feed now saying, oh my God, he is

:56:59.:57:03.

out of it, but he is not. He has three dives to go and even if he is

:57:04.:57:09.

way off the standings at the moment he can make it back. Not only is he

:57:10.:57:20.

we off, he is at the bottom. -- way off. But there are three more rounds

:57:21.:57:26.

to go, we are only halfway there remember. Tom Daley, at the moment,

:57:27.:57:36.

is now far adrift of the qualification mark. He has got to

:57:37.:57:41.

get something like 30, 40 points. It is one extreme to the other. We

:57:42.:57:51.

were so confident, saying he could get a personal best. Could this be

:57:52.:57:58.

his worst dive? That is not a great dive from Tom, and it is one of his

:57:59.:58:03.

stronger ones, they are stand. The pressure may be getting to him a

:58:04.:58:08.

little bit, it is the Olympics final -- the arms stand. I am starting to

:58:09.:58:19.

get a little bit concerned. If he does three good dives with his last

:58:20.:58:24.

three, and he has a front next, and if he does it like yesterday, he

:58:25.:58:29.

will get many points and that, and will jump straight back into the

:58:30.:58:35.

mix. So hopefully will turn it on in the next three rounds. He is not the

:58:36.:58:42.

only one dropping down, is he? No, it is affecting a lot of people. It

:58:43.:58:50.

is windy. The nerves of making the Olympic final, it is so difficult.

:58:51.:59:01.

David Boudia, he won its overall, having qualified in 18th place. You

:59:02.:59:07.

put so much pressure on yourself. Tom is in the exact position of just

:59:08.:59:12.

wanting to do well, and it is his worst enemy. I feel that this sport

:59:13.:59:17.

brings out the worst in me, because I look at some people in thing, mess

:59:18.:59:22.

it up, mess it up. It is horrible, isn't it? -- look at some people,

:59:23.:59:37.

thinking. But Viktor Minibaev, he's not feeling the pressure, he's seen

:59:38.:59:41.

the opportunity. That is close to perfect. He has an odd technique but

:59:42.:59:51.

it is really good to watch. We have seen some brilliant dives. And we

:59:52.:59:55.

have also seen some drops. The door is still wide open for Tom. Let's

:59:56.:00:01.

check in and see what is happening at the golf.

:00:02.:00:03.
