Day 16 BBC One: 18.30-21.00 Olympics

It is the 16th and final day of the Olympics in Rio for 2016. It has

amazed us, delighted us and surprised us. Team GB is guaranteed

to finish second in the medals table, and there is the chance of

one more gold to come. They have done it! They have done

it. They have won the Olympic gold medal! She has absolutely nailed it!

Cruising to another gold medal let's blah gold for Great Britain!

History, history, history! It will be a glorious golden victory

for Alistair Brownlee. Mo Farah wins the gold!

Oh, it has been a Games to remember, welcome to a grey Sunday in Rio de

Janeiro, the fifth consecutive Summer Games of improvement for the

British team, the first time a host country from a previous Games has

improved its medals tally. Many came out with medium or low expectations,

there were fears of Zika, water pollution, but it has ended with

glory for Brazil in the football and a record-breaking performance from

team Dunne Team GB, guaranteed to finish second in the medal table. We

are in the studio, hopefully a golden night ahead, an awful lot of

live sport to bring you on the final day of competition. And we are going

to be rounding up what has happened over the last 15 and a half days,

bringing you some of the best moments, the best images, the things

that will live forever in our minds. Here is an idea of how the timings

will work tonight. Next, we are heading back to the boxing, building

up to the superheavyweight gold medal bout, Joe Joyce of Great

Britain against Tony Yoka, they have met a couple of times before, John

Inverdale and Anthony Joshua will have all the news. Volleyball at

seven Brazil trying to win their seventh gold medal, we will be

joining the action, the gold medal match against Italy. Our review

starts at eight o'clock, and we will also be following things on the Red

Button. On BBC Four right now, the handball final, live handball,

Denmark against France, France hoping to win their third title in a

row. So if you have been watching sport

already, there a few things left to be completed, the headlines so far

today. Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge won the men's

marathon, dominating the race to add Olympic gold to track silver and

bronze from previous Games, Britain's Callum Hawkins finished an

impressive ninth. Schurter struck Olympic gold in the

mountain biking competition in Rio, the world champion is now the

Olympic champion. American boxer Claressa Shields

retained her middleweight title, the 21-year-old dominated the final to

earn a 44th gold for the United States of America, their best away

Games, the T-rex coming out triumphant. And Shakhobidin Zoirov

of Uzbekistan has been confirmed the winner of the men's flyweight,

beating Misha Aloian of Russia in the final just a few moments ago.

So let's have a look at the medal table with only a few events left to

be completed. USA could win one more gold...

Great Britain confirmed in second head of China and Russia. So this is

how the performance in Rio compares with London and indeed with Beijing,

the best ever in terms of total medals, 66 in total against 65 in

London. Just 47, which we thought was pretty brilliant in Beijing, to

be honest. Could Joe Joyce add to that tally? He is going to be up

very shortly in the superheavyweight final.

Joe Joyce believes, he cannot wait to get into the ring, and there is a

huge crowd waiting to cheer him on, can he follow the example of Nicola

Adams, who defended her title in style? She cited Mo Farah's

performance in the 10,000 metres, when he fell down, got up again and

still won gold. Last night he had half the distance but twice the

challenge in the 5000 metres. Mo going for the double-double, Mo

Farah trying to do something which so many greats could not do, that

severe and did. Haile Gebrselassie could not, though. -- loss of. You

could go through all the great names of the past, and he has an

opportunity here to hopefully take this fourth gold medal and the

double again would be his. That is pretty quick, isn't it? 2.37, the

quickest first kilometre in an Olympic 5000, is this an attempt to

take Mo on or get rid of as many people as possible? These guys have

run against him, they have seen him dominate the sport at a world level,

five World Championship is, three Olympic medals, they have seen him

do a fast last lap, I think this is clever on their behalf, they are

saying, we cannot beat him in a slow race, let's try to make it faster.

Mo Farah in the middle of the pack, being tested in endurance, talking

about who is going to go next, whether they are going to go, seven

laps to go in the men's 5000 metres, and so far the Ethiopian plan to

stretch him out, he has any weaknesses, he is faster than the

fastest, they will find out if he is stronger than the strongest. So

Great Britain with two men in the top seven, Ethiopian leading it but

slowing, that was the slowest lap, the previous one, and as they come

round at this time, I suspect this will be slower, 63.9 last lap, this

looks slower than that. Mo Farah is going, OK, guys, that was your

opening gambit, I am taking that one, thank you very much, not good

enough at this point, I am ready, I am waiting, I am right here, right

here where I want to be, I am just letting you know I am going with

you. He is already one of the all-time greats, is he about to run

himself into the best of the very best we have ever seen? For my

money, he is already there, but he is determined, he hates losing, he

wants to win again. He has run thousands of miles in training, now

he is into his last mile, four laps to go in this Olympic final, a mile

which could take him to further Olympic glory, a mile which could

take him to his fourth Olympic medal. He has decided he wants to

get hold of the race early, he does not want them to control it, the big

danger is right there, but Gebhriwet happy to go to the back of the group

now. 1000 metres left in the 5000 metres final, that was the slowest

Alaalatoa, Mo Farrell leading. -- Mo Farah. You knows all these people

have tried to out take him and anon of them have managed to get past

him, none of these people are quicker than Mo Farah at his best in

the last 400 metres. Farah leading it. It comes down the back straight,

three medals in the bag, is it to be an historic board? Farah checking

behind, to the left, to the side, looking up at the big screen,

Chelimo is on the inside, Gebremeskel and Gebhriwet, Edwards

having a push and a shove, Gebhriwet trying to get to the front. There

goes Mo Farah at the bell, he has got company, he is accelerating, he

is sprinting, he is in the driving seat now, has he got the finish that

we have seen him produce over the years? Can the add to the three gold

medals he has got? He has a look again, he pushes Chelimo to the

outside, Mo Farah knows that he just has to hold the curve, he just has

to hold the lead here, they will attack again, but he has got more to

give, he has got speed in those legs to spare. He is looking up at the

screen, they are trying to catch him, Chelimo looks like the big

danger for the USA, and Farah looks to his inside, checks there is no

danger, Chelimo is trying but he is not going to get him! Mo Farah has

gone, he is away! Mo Farah is going to get gold for Great Britain again!

The double-double, four Olympic titles, four Olympic gold medals,

incredible from Mo Farah. Mo, congratulations, a fourth gold

medal, another piece of history. I cannot believe it, Phil, to be

honest with you, after the ten came my legs were tired, I do not know

how I recovered, I stayed in my room, people were bringing the food,

I cannot believe I did it, I did it. It is every athlete's dream, as I

said, and I cannot believe it. It has not sank in yet. Most satisfying

one yet? Four years, I did not just do a fluke in London, I did it again

here, it has been incredible, I want to go home and see my beautiful

kids, I just want to hang the medals around their neck, saying, I got him

this medal, that is what has given me. -- Husein. I have to drive,

there is something, I don't know, it is just me. I hate losing, even a

computer game! If you dream about something and you have ambitions and

you are willing to work hard, you can achieve your dreams. I have been

working hard for years and years, and sometimes guns disappointment,

but you have got to take it and learn from it, each race I try to

learn something, if it is good, if it is bad, and that is what gummy

there. I don't see my kids, I was not going to miss out, I want to do

it for them, that is what try to me. I know I am not going to catch up

the time I have missed, but at the same time if I can achieve something

in my career, it is something for them, and that is what drives me.

And Mo was in the studio saying he will compete in 2017, take a view,

and we could yet see him in Tokyo running the marathon, which would be

quite extraordinary. He was not the only athletics medal for Team GB

last night, Mark Chapman has taken control of the trolley, and I

believe he has medallists with him. I think you'll find the trolley has

a mind of its own, to be honest, Clare! We have more medallists in

the park from last night, the women's four by 400 metres relay

team, with their bronze medals. They are all with me, you were in a state

of disbelief, has it sank in now? We had a lack of sleep but we were

all enjoying it and this experience. Coming away with an Olympic medal is

a huge achievement for us. What have you heard from home since you had

the medal around your neck? That everybody was screaming at the TV.

And that we got the 65th medal for Team GB. And as a Liverpool fan,

Liverpool lost again yesterday which was unfortunate for me. LAUGHTER so

you redressed the balance? Of course. Now we can get it together,

I can come home with the medal for Liverpool. I am playing. There was a

huge amount of support from everybody back home. Lots of

sleepless nights for people watching us and that the entire of the team.

And seeing as achieved greatness is amazing. How tough race was this,

Eilidh Doyle? It was really tough. We knew that America and Jamaica

where the favourites. They would take it from the start. We need to

run our own race and not panic if they went off hard which they did.

We knew it would be tough with the rest of them. Everybody was pretty

close. We had a good chance to get a medal but we had to fight for it and

perform well, thankfully we did. Did you have to take the USA and Jamaica

out of the race strategy coach Mark sometimes you do because they have

got so much more depth than we do. Not so much more talent but more

speed. We are getting close to them. In the last two years we have shown

we can get close to them. We just performed at best and the bronze was

the best that we died. Emily, your leg was sensational? Thank you. I

tried my best. I did not want to go into it and underperform for the

girls, knowing we were so close to the bronze medal. I did not want to

put in a bad performance. As soon as I got the bat an eye legged it. I

wanted to give it to Christine and a good position and hoped she could

bring home the bacon. Is legged it a professional term? Is it hard when

you are one of the very last events of the entire games. The

anticipation must in some ways eat you up inside? We are used in 54 by

400 metres. We're one of the last races of the championship. It is

tough in the Olympic Games because you want to go out and support other

sports. I love watching gymnastics. I would have loved to go and see the

gymnasts performing. We are used to it. It is what we know. It is great.

It is nice to be able to perform well on the last day of the

penultimate day and bring home a medal for Great Britain. We will

turn the trolley around so you can see your leg, Christina. Before you

get the Batten, the 30 seconds beforehand, what are you thinking

and assessing where everyone else is? There's not much thinking. I

just run from instinct, that is what I am used to. If you overthink

things, you can picture out of sync. I knew it would be tough for the

bronze medal. All I knew was that I was not going to let the team down.

That was it. I am not letting my team down, we have worked too hard.

It is fantastic seeing the joy. This medal means that athletics has

reached its target set by UK sport for the Olympic Games. That is

affecting the funding, did you know that before going into the race,

that the target was on the line? No, we didn't and it is best that we

didn't. It is important that we focus strictly on jobs. We cannot

take to the track all of the external politics and targets. That

is not for us to deal with. What we have to deal with is precisely our

job, each person's individual run and doing our best to support the

team. It is great that it all Quinn said it nicely and we are very

grateful. -- coincided. Ultimately, we are proud of what we done and

what we can do for each other. You are the perfect position to give an

insight into how Team GB as an entirety, Eddie last eight years, we

have gone from Beijing, to London to Rio any special time for British

sport and you have been there all the way through it. I wondered how

part of being part of Team GB has changed? It is great to watch all

the improvement in all of the sport, all of the characters and attitudes

of the athletes. In Beijing, interact, we only had one Gold

Medal. And now, in London we had a lot more. And now we have even more.

We can increase our target every time. They are not pulled out of the

air. They are substantial that they believe they are athletes can get.

It is good to be in a position where they believe we can come home with

them. We are competitors and want to come home of medals. It is a great

possession to be. We can showcase their talent in Britain by bringing

on lots of medals. Even though some people did not bring home medals, I

am sure they are taking home a great experience, taking home personal

bests or seasons bests that they can take into next season and the season

after that, leading into Tokyo. Argue for coming out. They are all

going to leg it over to the closing ceremony. They will get there

quicker than anyone else. The team spirit between the really runners

and congratulations to both of the women's team, the 100 metres and 400

metres. Several medals in track and field for Team GB. Six gold medals

for Jamaica and all came on the track, half of them down to the man

who was the biggest show in town. Usain Bolt once again to country-mac

gold medals as he has done all the way from Brazil back to Beijing.

COMMENTATOR: The getaway first time. Usain Bolt streaking away from the

field. It will be called for Jamaica. It is a new world record.

-- gold. Away they go and Usain Bolt already going past his man city was

not there. Plastic around the top end. It is called for Usain Bolt and

a new world record. I do not believe it. Usain Bolt hazard in his hands

and as a way round the top end. It is Jamaica. Asafa Powell, what is

the time? It is a new world record. Three gold medals and three world

records. Balde not quick out of the box, Asafa Powell is the quickest.

It is Usain Bolt, he is pulling away and will win the gold. It is a clean

start. Bolt is out of the blocks really well. He's already storming

around the top end. Look at goal. Balde is going to do it again. --

Usain Bolt. Here he goes, Usain Bolt away and gone, Jamaica are the gold

medallist once again and the new world record. Smashes it to pieces.

Justin Gatlin getaway well. Here comes Usain Bolt. Usain Bolt gets

it. What more does he have for us? He gets away well. Andre De Gasse is

going well around the bill -- bend. Usain Bolt. Running away from

everybody. Towards mortality as an athlete.

Number one. Usain Bolt is doing what he always does. Bringing it home for

Jamaica. It is gold again. The triple triple, he has done it. Usain

Bolt, the greatest ever. Today, he celebrates his 30th

birthday by attending the closing ceremony for the last time before

heading home with all of those gold medals. Is he the greatest ever? He

is the greatest and a big star since one man who boxed his way into our

hearts 56 usable. -- years ago. An 18-year-old Light Heavyweight of the

1960 Olympics in Rome. Afraid of flying with the same name

as his father who was named after a Kentucky plantation owner who fought

for the abolition of slavery at the time of the Civil War. Cassius Clay.

He came home ready to turn

professional. To change the slave name.

Because he boxed like no other, the world not to. He refused to go to

war in Vietnam but when he did fight, he was briefly itself. A

beautiful man in a despairing sport. Exposed to extreme danger and adored

every step. Every shuffle of the way. I am the greatest heavyweight

onto McPhee today. The teenager from the 1960s turned into Muhammad Ali.

When he danced and when the head went through the fog with clarity,

he's soared. There is a postscript. When the teenager returned from

Rome, he tried to dine out in a segregated restaurant for whites

only in Louisville, Kentucky. He was turned away. They said we do not

sell black people, he -- I said, I do not eat them either. The Gold

Medal was lost and he did not care. Not at least 436 years until the

day, the faltering champion was given a new one. He inspired the

world all over again. As we know, his personality as

powerful as a sponge. An amazing star, Muhammad Ali was the first of

any great names. -- as a punch. Could Joe Joyce at his name to that

list? We went to his gym to meet him.

We're with it all began for you? How does it feel? It feels like home.

Back we feel comfortable and with it all began. And how did it all begin?

I was 22-23, cycling around tried to find a boxing gym around here. I

wanted to hit a bike and do some sparring. And then said copy to come

to the boxing session. I could the progression. I was enjoying myself

and had my first fight. They get into the ring. The referee comes

over and checks that you can box, ejection gloves, your gumshield and

brings you together. We touch gloves, look at your opponent and

you walk back to your corner. The Bella Twins. What have you got? --

the bell rings. He is a lovely kid, a gentle giant. He looks menacing

but he is not at all. He is eating to work with which is important. The

best kids in the world, if they do not listen, you cannot work with

them. Part of the reason why you started boxing at 22, which is quite

old to start boxing, is because you used to do rugby, athletics,

karate... Kung fu, karate, kick boxing... Swimming and diving. It is

an amazing CD of different sports that you have done and you have

found one that has stuck. It got to a point when I was doing other

sports that I got bored of it. I would like to try this. It is good

that iPhone boxing soul mate. It meant that if I had started earlier

I could've got bored of that. -- it is good that I found the boxing is

so late. Thank you for letting us having a

look around. We're here to talk about some of this. That you do

outside of boxing. You're handy with a paintbrush? I am. How did you get

into this? I have always been good at art school and then I went into

Middlesex to do a bachelor of arts in fine art. I then got to do an

exchange in Sacramento State. In my last year. I picked up more skills

along the way. Many strings to my bow. You name it, I have done it. I

did cheerleading in the States at university.

I reckon you were one of the guys who threw people in the app.

You throw them, catch them by their feet. Hold them with one hand. You

have to be really strong. You have now qualified for Rio, you

will be at the Olympic Games, how does that feel?

It is great. You set targets. And this is one of my targets from a

long time ago, when I was doing athletics, I wanted to get to the

Olympics. It is finally here. How much do you

the gold? As long as he performs at his best

and performs on the day, there is no reason why Joe Joyce can't win a

gold medal. You experiment with loads of

different sports, you paint and U box. No wonder on the back of your

top, it says, no ordinary Joe. And my head is getting a bit heavy

which is why I do all these exercises!

It will be heavier with a gold medal around your neck.

It would be a 28th gold medal should he be successful, the last chance of

the Games for a British athlete. Kate Richardson-Walsh, the hockey

captain, she will carry the flag at the closing ceremony, her fourth and

final Olympics. She is going to Holland to play league hockey after

this. Let us head over for two more

fights. Anthony Joshua is alongside John Inverdale.

I am feeling sorry for Zoirov whose medal ceremony is going on, overcome

with sand the sound -- Overcome with the sound that Brazil have won the

volleyball. 90% of the crowd are Brazilian and euphoric about the

news from the volleyball arena. Talking about Joe Joyce, one fight

before. We were talking about what state he

was in, an hour and a half ago. Was he relaxed? We are so close. 15

minutes at most away from him being in the ring. It is really getting

serious. He has warmed up, wobbly doing some

pad work, technique with the coaches. As a heavyweight, we have

so much muscle mass. He needs to warm up. The hard work is done. Just

get in the ring. How many people around him, 15

minutes away? Only about two people, the main

characters in the ring giving him instructions. It is doing what he

has been doing for so long -- the main coaches in the ring.

15 minutes away, do you listen to what anybody is saying or is it

White Noise? It is a balance. I notice when

boxers are coming out of the tunnel, the coach is whispering in their

ear, but they are locked in. The coaches always fit team --

Feeding in instructions. I am sure they are giving the best

instruction is possible. Do you listen between the rounds?

Yes, most definitely, that is your bird's I. Inspiring and training

camp, they see things you cannot. It is so important to follow your

corner. Talk us through the mechanics of

this fight in terms of his opponent from France who has beaten him, but

he has beaten him as well, a 50-50 fight. What would you advise Joe

Joyce to do? Check here is loose and relaxed. He

has been in some tough fights. From the get go in the Olympics, you

are ready. But your body gets bruised. Make

sure you are fresh, loose, warmed up properly. Nothing jarring,

everything firing properly. In the ring, you have someone who

can move, light on their feet. When I have watched Tony Yoka, he is

a counterpuncher. So, there is nothing wrong being aggressive but

lead behind the long jab and follow up with that big right hand. Keep

shutting him down but in a where where he cannot lean back and

counterpunch. Be wary what is coming back when you put pressure on him.

From the French point of view, he will know Joe Joyce is a steam

chain, keep on coming relentlessly. How do you counteract that either, I

would stand toe to toe with Joe and make sure I am the general of the

ring, he cannot break me down. If that doesn't work, I will get on

my bike and run the dear life because it is hard to get out of the

way of Joe. Stand up to him, or dance around, stick a move. You have

to be so good to display against someone like Joe Joyce.

We are running behind schedule. A couple of moments to talk about the

overall quality here, what have you made of the next generation from U

of amateur boxers, many of whom you suspect will go professional.

They are just my professionals. The way they have shown so much skill

and craft, I am gobsmacked. I can't wait to use the inspiration here to

improve myself. The way it has been set up, the way

they have represented their countries have been good.

I have known them from years ago, in training camp.

That respect is there between us. With the professionals, there is a

lot of disrespect. The amateurs represent their country. They are

mindful of what they say and how they represent themselves. A good

opportunity for me to reconnect with my old friends.

Four years ago when you won a gold medal, you could have stayed in the

amateur ranks. People winning here, some who

aren't, will have cheque-books flashed in front of them saying,

turned pro, there is big money. What are the pitfalls, why should

some be apprehensive about doing that?

It is so important. Turning pro isn't just getting a big cheque and

anything falls into place. Experience is so important. It took

me 18 months to turn professional Jews to the fact I was thinking to

myself, I have only been boxing three years. To get from Amytal to

Olympics wasn't a long time. It took a lot of discipline and toughness

and I needed to build. I hope these guys have a good team.

Once you sign a pro contract, you are left to your own devices, to

find your own gym, nutritionist, physios. It is not just buy yourself

a car and enjoy your life, it is a lot deeper to progress as a

professional. We will talk more in a moment.

We saw Claressa Shields in action earlier on and her gold medal

presentation. And then, she produced from her pocket her gold medal from

London. A fantastic piece of showmanship.

She came to talk to us afterwards. She is way bigger than boxing.

You left no one in any doubt that you have two of those.

Yes, yes. When you box for the Olympics, you can only win one in

these Olympics. Not like gymnastics where you win 45.

At what stage did you decide today, when I win my second, I will produce

the other one on the podium? I thought that last night, way

before I got here. I told my coach at home, I will have a surprise, I

will have my gold medal in my pocket. I will put both of them on

so everyone knows. The first person from America to do it. That was my

game from last night. I have to say, I have been to lots

of Olympics, I have never seen the American anthem sung with such pride

and forth like you, you were loving it.

It means a lot to me to be here for the second time. The first time, it

came too fast, I was 15, going into the open division.

In the Olympics three months later. Now, it has been four years. I

didn't even know if I would be boxing at 19. Now I am 21 and I have

two Olympic gold medals. It is crazy.

I told myself to keep thanking God. He will do what he can for me. I

prayed hard before I got here. I knew I had to go out there and do

what I had got to do. Thank you for talking to us.

Claressa Shields, remember the name. She is a star already and will be an

even bigger one. This is the penultimate fight of the

Olympic boxing condition in Rio. It features the nephew of the world

high jump champion who finds himself today fighting for Azerbaijan. Ron

and Richie can tell you all about it.

The number for right boxer in the world.

Here is the man born in Havana, representing Abbas and Sian. Six

feet and one inches tall. The boxer in blue is the Renzo

Sotomayor, ranked number six in the world, the tournament number seven

seed. His opponent is Gaibnazarov. The

tactics obvious, the shorter man in red has defined a way to get inside

tentacle like arms. Sotomayor has thrown that right

uppercut. He has two sets that punch up behind his left jab. Occasionally

he has missed the target a couple of times which will be a problem.

Gaibnazarov is a fast counterpuncher. It is that right

uppercut which will be the danger shot. Gaibnazarov need to move his

head on the inside. And draw the lead of his opponent. And go back at

him. He had to rely on good movement with the head. Make his opponent

miss and go back with a counter. Gaibnazarov goes in as the reigning

silver medallist. He is trying for an upgrade here. To

claim that precious Olympic gold. Irrespective of who he is against,

the man wearing blue always presents a really difficult proposition

because he has a high school level. Plenty of ring skill. There is that

right uppercut again. But Fazliddin Gaibnazarov just avoiding. A

cracking right hand from Sotomayor. The man in red has to take if your

risks to get inside the long lead of his opponent.

And, as he is moving in, he gets caught with a couple of shots. He

has to work faster on the inside. Occasionally you get forward and

it's tied up, he has got to create space on the inside, it is

important, he has to work it short to meet. At close quarters he has

got to find the room. A little bit untidy in the closing stages.

Gaibnazarov, looking to get in close and roughed up Sotomayor.

We have pictures during the break of Joe Joyce preparing for his moment

of destiny in the super heavyweight against Tony Yoka. He never put on a

boxing glove in his life until the age of 22, he is now in the Olympic

final. Meanwhile there is a gold medal to be one in the ring before

we see him in action. Gaibnazarov, coming forward, a nice

right hand from Sotomayor, but it was a scrappy round. Sotomayor,

probably just edged it. The man in red has got to be more effective on

the inside. The second round and both boxers

sprinting out to the centre of the ring. Gaibnazarov Doing what he

needs to do in terms of getting up close and working away at the long,

slender torso of Sotomayor. He is best when he was boxing on his own

terms against an opponent of his own height. Gaibnazarov, quick feet and

hands but he is throwing caution to the wind in pursuit of Olympic gold,

trying to get inside and roughed up the tall and rangy boxer. When you

look at his physique sometimes you think he could do with a good steak.

But he soon produces power shots, great leveraged. Especially on this

occasion. He is a difficult man to get to. Gaibnazarov, caught him with

a shot, and the referee... A standing count. It must have been a

good punch. In Olympic style boxing a standing count or a knockdown does

not necessarily result in a 10-8 round. Referee, closest to the

action, feels that Sotomayor was shaken up, but he does possess a

deceiving footwork, sometimes he sways around like a scarecrow in the

wind. His balance is not always the best but I have seldom seen him put

in a contest. He is fighting fire with fire and holding his feet a

little too long, for me, trying to catch his opponent as he comes in.

He should be trying to adjust his feet. That was better work from the

man in blue. Gaibnazarov's tactics are good, but he has got to find a

quality shots and hit the target more often. But he is starting to

get through now. Another untidy tangle. Sotomayor, to the canvas. He

promised before the contest that he would dance like Ali in pursuit of

gold. That right hand over the top was a good shot. In Cuban boxing,

where he learned of the noble art, Sotomayor, he said he grew up in a

tough place where he had to learn how to fight but when hearing into

the boxing gym everything was focused on movement of the feet. He

won a national title in Cuba back in 2009 before switching to Asha --

Azerbaijan. On the back foot he is drawing the lead of his opponent,

then coming back with a fast counter. This is a close round. The

man in red has done better. The accuracy has just gone from

Sotomayor slightly. So how will the judges see this one? From the man in

red, the better performance. He got closer as the round progressed and

landed hurtful punches to both body and head.

This is a good fight, a great aperitif to what we hope will be a

great main course, Joe Joyce versus Tony Yoka in the super heavyweight

division. He could have been terrorising defences in the third

tier of English rugby, he toyed with the idea of American football and

going to university in the states, then he put on boxing clubs at the

age of 22 and suddenly found his place. He is an extraordinary man

with a coat of many colours, and artist with a degree in fine art,

but today is the day when he can carve his own special niche in terms

of British Olympic boxing history. That is to come after one more

round, but where is this one going? Coming into the third and final

round it is tied up, 19-19 with two judges after Gaibnazarov had a good

Round 2, but judged to be still favoured the work of the man in blue

and has a two point five to four that server. And at the beginning of

this third-round, terrific leveraged from the man in blue. Gaibnazarov,

looking to engage in a firefight. Terrific action at the beginning of

the third and final Sotomayor round. He knew he had a bad round,

Sotomayor, so he has come out all blazing. But he has got to improve

his accuracy as his going forward. Gaibnazarov, drawing him in and

bringing him on two shots like that, which will impress the judges.

Scoring blows, remember. But Sotomayor is back on the front foot

with more urgency in his work. This is a close one now. It certainly is,

a minute: the third and final round with both men in pursuit of the same

thing, Gaibnazarov, hoping to emulate a countryman who won gold in

Sydney 2000, Sotomayor, hoping to become the first gold medallist for

Azerbaijan in the boxing ring. And the tall boxer has quickened the

tempo, launching fusilade is punches as he comes into range. The left

hand from Gaibnazarov is not a bad shot, he throws it is his opponent

comes forward. But Sotomayor is starting to find the target and the

range. There is the shot again from Gaibnazarov, hoping to hit the

target, occasionally he has done it. Again, inaccurate and that occasion.

But it was close, it really is. Deep into the third and final round,

Sotomayor appears slightly fresher, with that deceptive style he has.

Sometimes rocks and rolls around the ring but comes back with sharp

punches. A good left hand was partially blocked. Sotomayor, tries

a long right hand. Becoming increasingly untidy now. Who can

produce some quality in the closing 40 seconds? Sotomayor, he has got to

start throwing the left hook is Gaibnazarov means to write. His lead

hand very low. What Sotomayor is a left hook. -- what Sotomayor needs.

On that front foot. Gaibnazarov, he is tired. This could be a crucial

last ten or 15 seconds. The referee is struggling to extricate both men

from the fringe. Sotomayor, landing a cracking right hand. Beating his

chest defiantly before they tangle up. Close to the ropes once again. A

terrific third and final round, both men feel they have done enough.

Sotomayor, pounding his chest with defiance. He receives a warm embrace

from his corner. Gaibnazarov, overcome with emotion, he feels he

has done enough to take gold. Whose hand will be raised? It was 19-19

going into the third and final round from two judges, the third judge

heard it two points in favour of Sotomayor, so if we hear the word,

unanimous, anticipate the hand of the man in blue being raised.

Sotomayor, the more urgent boxer in the final round. There is nothing in

it, very close indeed, but going forward on occasions like that,

scoring with short but the Uzbekistan: are very

confident their man has done enough. I am not so sure. Maybe just blue.

But there is nothing in it. Ladies and gentlemen, the winner, by split

decision, and Olympic champion... Fazliddin Gaibnazarov! A contrasting

scene of these two boxers. Fazliddin Gaibnazarov, overcome with emotion,

letting out a triumphant roar. Overcome with emotion. His opponent,

Lorenzo Sotomayor, utterly distraught. He gave it everything

but it is Fazliddin Gaibnazarov securing the Uzbekistan's second

Olympic title in the light welterweight division. Sotomayor,

leaves Azerbaijan still searching for their first title in the Olympic

boxing ring, but this man is absolutely elated. He takes the

third gold medal of this Olympic Games for Uzbekistan. They have had

a terrific tournament. As the tears flow and his fans

celebrate we are moments away from the final, and 67th British medal in

Brazil. It will be one in the boxing ring and the man eyeing up the

golden prize is ready stock is it time for Joe to rejoice?

He comes out like a freight train on a mission...

Joe Joyce, Great Britain's outstanding superheavyweight,

walking down his man. Joe Joyce, unrelenting in his forward march.

Joe Joyce of Great Britain versus Tony Yoka France. The men's

superheavyweight final, the last event of the boxing. At ringside,

Anthony Joshua and John Inverdale. The noise you can hear is the

reception for the Uzbekistan fighter in that last astonishing contest.

Like a scene from rocket at the end with one inhalation and the other in

despair. Just one fight to complete in the Olympic boxing competition

and as you were saying it features Joe Joyce. Four years ago you were

in exactly the situation, one minute from being called out into the

arena, what are those seconds like? It is time now, we have in building

up to this, here for an hour and a half, the walking will obviously be

nervous, you feel the energy of the crowd, of course, but then it is

more about, once the bell goes, I have got to cancel the noise, break

down your opponent, be they bully in that ring. He has to let Tony Yoka

now he is coming to take the medal back to Great Britain. Is he

visualising the first 30 seconds? I don't think so. Right now he is just

focusing on the instructions from his coach. The hind the scenes,

problem with getting a load of instructions. He is walking in now.

You take in all the energy from the Crown. You see a few familiar faces

and here are a few familiar voices, take that in, but then sewn in. Once

the bill goes in the ring, that is when he zones in. You can see his

French opponent in the ring. He and his fiancee are getting married

straight out the games. And there is our first sight of Joe Joyce.

A huge ovation, Anthony was talking about the energy from the crowd,

great to have a full house here. There is a big British contingent.

Especially away on the far side were there must be 20 or 30 union flags

flying at the moment. Last word, Anthony? Can he, Willie, should he?

He can, he will, he should. Here we go. He has been a removal man,

lifeguard, diving instructor, student, artist, painter, boxer. And

now he could win the last British gold medal of these truly

extraordinary Olympic Games. Richie and Rob.

There is the reigning World Championship gold medallist. The

tournament number one seed and number one ranked boxer in the

world. And the reigning Olympic champion at lightweight.

Due to be married here in Rio right after these Games.

And here is Joe Joyce, the reigning World Championship bronze medallist.

Number three Brandt boxer in the world, tournament number three seed.

-- ranked. This is the superheavyweight gold

medal bout. We are underway, the first of a

scheduled three three-minute rounds to determine the outcome in the

superheavyweight division, featuring familiar rivals who have shared the

boxing ring twice before. The man wearing blue on the front foot is

Joe Joyce, the reigning European games gold medallist, reigning

Commonwealth Games gold medallist, immediately targeting the torso of

the man in bed, the reigning world champion.

Tactics simple. -- man in red. He had to move his head occasionally

to avoid the jab of Yoka. He will target that punch as Joice comes

forward. Yoka went over on his ankle in the last contest. He is not on

that back foot, he is having to stand and trade which will suit

Joyce. Really important working behind the

jab. Move the head then switch the attack.

Tony Yoka, and incredibly tight split decision in his previous

match. Is he unsteady? A good left hook

from Joyce. He may be unsteady but that was a good shot.

He is definitely hurt. A brilliant start from Joe Joyce in

this opening round. Look at the legs of Yoka, not steady, usually one of

his primary attributes. Being punched to a standstill in this

opening round. Yoka, all in his chest.

Continuing to take it to his man. Yoka is a tough kid, we have seen

him many times in tournaments. He takes a good shot but he comes back.

Trying to establish those long, straight shots, Tony Yoka. A good by

hand from the man in red. Good conclusion to the round from Yoka.

That right ankle was rolled in the previous contest.

What an opening. Joe Joyce targeting head and body

effectively. Saying this is a great start but

don't give him any free shots. For a good two minutes, it was Joe

Joyce on the front foot catching his opponent. An excellent start,

tactics spot on. Yoka came back towards the end but he was rattled.

Let us look at the schools. Two for Yoka, I disagree with that, I

thought Joe did the better work. A close one.

Immediately Joe Joyce springs out of the corner and let spongers go to

body and head, Yoka unable to respond, too busy covering up to

weather the storm being unleashed by the man in blue.

Terrific start to the second round once again by Joe Joyce. We talked

about the movement and straight punching being his primary

attributes, Tony Yoka. Joe Joyce sets the pace many superheavyweight

find difficult to live with. The volume is coming from the

British boxer. The French man is blocking him, give him credit for

blocking the shops. But there are punch is getting

through. Yoka trying to establish the left

jab. In the two contest so far, it is one bout apiece.

Joe Joyce took European games gold last year.

That is a clubbing right hand from Joyce.

We spoke about this, he has two move his head and block that first shot

from Yoka as he comes forward. It is all Joyce throwing the shots,

setting the tempo, the work rate. He can't afford to give him any space.

Joyce has to work harder. He has allowed Yoka that space for the

Frenchman to work at mid and long range. Joe has two close it down,

Sustain the pressure. Anthony Joshua spoke of the respect

that exists between Olympic boxers. In media exchanges, I don't know if

it was lost in translation... He has hurt him. Yoka, holding on. A

sign a fighter has been hurt down stairs.

Yoka responds by establishing a jab. Terrific toe to toe stuff.

Yoka looking to land straight shots, Joyce with the clubbing punches.

Yoka said he doesn't regard Joe Joyce as a smart boxer. I don't know

if it was lost in translation. He said this would be an easier

contest. Joe Joyce has other ideas, demonstrating his physical prowess

and his brinkmanship as well as he brings the heat to the boxing ring.

He needs to keep it going in the last ten seconds.

Put a burst in. Yoka breathing through an open

mouth, looking to pick single shots. Back comes Joyce with a triple right

hands. The fiance of Tony Yoka cheering him

on. They didn't look that convinced. A

good round from Joyce in terms of work rate.

This fellow came back with single shots. They have caught the judge's

eyes. They know it is close. Joe Joyce has

set a fantastic pace. A good shot from him. Avoiding that shot coming

back. Left hook skimming the target. Here we go. Across the board again

for Yoka. He is very fortunate, the French

fellow. Into the third and final round.

Joe Joyce needs a massive round to get back on parity for the judges.

Third and final round of this Olympic superheavyweight final. Joe

Joyce in blue, reigning World Championship bronze medallist

looking to emulate the accomplishment of Audley Harrison

and Anthony Joshua by claiming Olympic superheavyweight gold. He is

trailing by two points, after Yoka swept the second round unanimously

on the scorecard. The judges preferring the single

shots from Yoka. They will say a lot of punches from Joyce were hitting

the gloves and elbows. Joe Joyce on the front foot with

that aggression and getting through with shots to body and head. Yoka

trying again to get to work behind that left jab at covering up a lot

of the time repelling the shots. The volume coming from the man in blue

as he looks to overturn a two point deficit. Difficult to do in boxing

terms. Most straight forward is to stop

this man in this third and final round.

A show of real British bulldog spirit.

He is going for it. Targeting the body. Yoka showing signs he is

tiring. There's body shots are taking their

toll. The left hook was partially blocked.

Yoka says, come on. Joe Joyce obliges.

Yoka, it takes him if you seconds to recover. He is a fit man, the French

man. He tiring. Joyce has to keep going.

Trying to distract and deter Joe Joyce with that Ali shuffle.

Joyce comes forward once again and getting through with punches

underneath. A terrific left uppercut from Joyce,

a great shot. He has to find more quality on the inside.

Ten out of ten for effort, Joyce keeps coming. Yoka is blocking a lot

of the shots. Joyce won't be denied. Come on. Joe Joyce looking for the

finishing shot. Yoka erecting barricades. Inside the final 30

seconds. He needs to find something. Terrific atmosphere at Riocentro.

Both of these men in pursuit of top spot on the Olympic podium. They are

looking for that finishing shot. Yoka stretches out his arms. He

begins amateur celebrations. Joe Joyce can't find the punch he needs.

Tony Yoka, given the status of the scorecard going into the third and

final round, Olympic gold to World Championship gold. He has been in a

fight against his familiar rival, Joe Joyce giving absolutely

everything. He took a share of the first round. Then Yoka was given it

unanimously in Round 2. Yoka was fortunate at the end of the first.

It was a good round from Joe Joyce. Yoka was very lucky indeed. The

judges will say a lot of the punches were to the arms and elbows. You

have to give him ten out of ten for his effort. He couldn't have done

anything else in terms of effort, a fantastic display. Yoka will get it.

MC: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by split decision, and Olympic

champion... In the red corner, Tony Yoka!

So, Tony Yoka, the reigning world champion becomes the Olympic

champion, with a split decision victory over Great Britain's Joe

Joyce, to take France's second gold medal of his boxing tournament. The

other by the woman he is due to marry in Rio at the conclusion of

these games. The man who has possessed so much

prodigious talent for so long, he has Olympic golds, to the Olympic

youth gold. Joe Joyce develops immense credit. There are the golden

couple. The Olympic lightweight champion here in Rio. And her

husband to be, draped in the French tricolour. They're wonderful moments

of them. Reigning world champions being crowned Olympic champions. Joe

Joyce deserves immense credit, battling his way with a series of

brilliant performances through to the second position on the medal

podium. He gave it everything he had in pursuit of Olympic gold. But this

man, 2-1 ahead in their own familiar rivalry. France take the gold medal,

Joe Joyce becomes Great Britain's first ever silver medallist in the

superheavyweight division. Britain continues its outstanding record in

this boxing tournament. Every time they enter this tournament, they

come away with a podium finish. Joe Joyce, Olympics all the medallist.

You can be enormously proud but are busily devastating to come up short.

Yes, last medal of the Olympic Games, I thought the gold was mine.

I will just have to watch it back and see where it went wrong, if I

went wrong. Anthony, what did you make of the contest and the verdict?

I have never seen a light heavyweight throw so many punches in

a fight before. We were talking about counterpunching, being

aggressive, Joe was aggressive making the fight. And the power he

possesses, there's no way he can block those shots. For me, he is the

Olympic champion. Everybody here is cheering him on, in spirit, he is

champion, he has done so well. As much as I want him to have the medal

I am so proud of what he has achieved. The sky is the limit. He

is a credit to the sport in and out of the ring. Lovely words. Did you

know, going into that final round, that you had to stop him? They let

me know in my corner that I was down, I was like, oh my God. But I

was landing shots on him all throughout that last round. I

thought throughout the belt I was peppering him with shots. Going

through his guard. It was just the board shortly rhythmic. What was

your opinion on it? It was very tight, but the general consensus,

and certainly the commentary box, thought you just want it. But that

is the nature of this board. Despite the verdict how proud you the way

you perform? I gave it my all, I got the training right, leading up. Many

thanks to Fraser Clark, coming out here and helping me spa. I would not

be as sharp without him. And obviously big Joshua helps as well.

I am just disappointed, man. But silver medal is not that bad. I

wanted the gold and I expected the gold. It just was not to be. You

have been a gold medal performer for us, certainly. Thank you for

providing such fantastic entertainment. Well done. Joe Joyce,

Olympic silver medallist. It was not to be the ultimate happy ending from

Great Britain's point of view but it is the nature of any sport that is

judged. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it was a split

decision, which means that one George but you got it, and the other

didn't. And in the end that is what counts. Yes, like I was saying, you

have just got to knock them out at heavyweight. I was praying he would

just learned that one shot. But I have never seen a heavyweight throw

so many punches. The power that Joe possesses, I have sparred with Joe,

time and again, you penetrate the body, he is just a phenomenal

fighter. I would have been over the moon for him to be Olympic champion

at the moment. But he has got to be proud. Does he turn professional or

stay in the amateur ranks? In four years' time he will be 35, is that

too late to win an Olympic title? I don't know what lifestyle he has

been living but it is the right one. He can do backflips... Let me

interrupt for a second. The pitch was there on the right are two

Olympic champions. One is just being submerged, and a soon-to-be husband

and wife in a couple of weeks' time, both are Olympic gold medallists. I

don't know if two fiances, an engaged couple, have ever won gold

medals at the same games. But those are great pictures for the French

media. Final work, Anthony, what did you make of the whole thing, from a

British point of view? The target was three medals and we got three

medals, so is it job done? It was such a soft draw. They did really

well. Those who got a medal, their struggle can be no great success. I

always stand by that. I am really proud of them. They were in against

former Olympic and world champions. So to collect three medals, I am

really proud of the guys. It shows that the funding is doing well. It

shows that the more support we get, the more medals we produce. So the

ones who did not medal, and the ones who did, they have done everyone

proud and I am so happy to be a part of it. I wish Joe was standing on

the number one podium but in my eyes I know he is the champion. It has

been great having you as part of our team and before we let you go we

must also say, November 26, in action... Yes, I can take so much

inspiration away from here. I am waiting for my coach to come and

tell me who I will be competing against I know for sure it will not

be no points decision, we are going for knockouts. That is what we stand

on now, going forward from here it is knockout season. Fantastic having

you with us for the last few days. We have had 273 contests over two

weeks. Some good, some not so good, some stunning, and we ended with a

brilliant spectacle, but sadly not the ending we hope for in Rio. The

answer to the question, have two people engaged won medals, the

answer is yes, at these games, Laura Trott and Jason Kenny, and now,

currently on BBC Four, the last live action of the games, it is

basketball, the USA against Serbia, but the home nation was celebrating

last night because they took gold in the football. It was a rematch with

Germany. The captain Neymar, took the glory, and the noise around

Rio... The fireworks were going off, cheering in every bar, it's just was

a huge moment. And the Brazilian team were enthusiastic to the last

in singing the national anthem, Howard, all stayed behind. It just

sounded fabulous. Fabulous, and it was already

Brazil's most successful ever games. But they have a chance of adding to

their gold-medal haul because Brazil are in the final, the gold-medal

match of the volleyball. It happened earlier today and we will join it in

the third set with the score at 22-22, Brazil are 2-0 up, against

Italy. What a moment, his first Olympic

Games, this needs to be an absolute wiles.

The problem is Wallace is coming for him. And Wallace has done what he

wanted. 23-22. Two more points than they are Olympic champions for the

third time. What a swing that is from Walace underlying his

commitment and his desire to get a gold medal. It is a cacophony of

sound. Brazil, closing in. Italy, desperate to get this back.

Birarelli, it is only eight from Zaytsev, referee agrees. He has been

told, run the middle, run the middle. But it was not a great set.

Zaytsev, saving his blushes, that is for sure. What a jump, and Walace,

from the block, his match point for Brazil. They were here before, four

years ago, twice they had match point, twice they could not take it.

They know they need to do it now, it means siding out for the set of the

match. Their fourth consecutive final. Gold in 2004. Two success of

silvers. Will it be gold in 2016. Zaytsev, goes for the tip, and they

save match point. 24-24. Calmness under pressure from Zaytsev and now

it is a two point set. Italy need to points clear to take the set, and

Brazil need to points to win a gold medal. Back into the front row,

Lanza. Brazil still have it in play. Off the block, Lucas, the veteran

from 2012, sets up their second match point. The zoo will need to do

it the hard way, they will have to do it from service. We are back to

old school volleyball. If they want to win this one they will need to be

tough on the serve, get into transition, any one of those three

will do. Blocking substitution, Bruno has gone off. Now recognised

set on court for Brazil. They will just try to shut down Italy at the

net. Gold-medal points for the hosts. And doesn't the home crowd

know it. Walace. Off the block... It is all over. Brazil are Olympic

champions. For the fourth time we been in the final, they let it slip

in 2008 and 2012 but in 2016 on the home court, in Rio, Brazil only

Olympic champions again. For the third time. There is a challenge.

The drama is ratcheting up once more. Italy are challenging. To be

fair, he has no other option. Maybe just a last throw of the dice. And

that is it. The challenge has been denied. They waited too long, surely

it was beyond the five second mark. Surgery, he retired after 2012 but

was brought by question. He is, Olympic champion again. And in the

shadow of the Maracana Stadium, where the football team on the

gold-medal 24 hours before, they have witnessed another Brazilian

triumph in the world of volleyball. They have been the supreme force

throughout the 2000. Three times world champions. And they have

overcome Italy for a second time. There is the man who was in tears

yesterday. But he did the job and so to have his countrymen in the

yellow. Their famous colours, and the court.

Stunning success for Brazil. Their seventh gold medal of these games.

The home nation celebrating. And this is the last live Olympic action

from Rio. It is the first period of four in the men's basketball stop

the USA, winners 14 times in 17 attempts, up against Serbia, and it

is very close in the first period, currently live on BBC Four. Other

there was talk about it being a USA second team they have defeated all,

so far. But Serbia have the advantage, 13-11 in the first

quarter. So, the medal table. The USA are out in front no matter what

happens. They have taken 16 gold medals in swimming. And their 1000th

Olympic gold medal came here. Great Britain ahead of China, for

the very first time in real terms, because the only time it happened

before China only had one athlete, in 1952. Seven out of eight of the

diving gold medals went to China including the youngest champion of

the games at 15 years old will stop Great Britain's Champion's included

the oldest in these games, Nick Skelton in the show-jumping, Russia

have had a decent games, three golds in fencing, three in fencing,

Germany, four of those caring canoeing, and Japan, who obviously

as Dylan picks on four years' time, wrestling was their most successful

sport, four golds in that, three in judo, and don't forget they have

karate coming in for Tokyo which they did news and Brazil, wonderful

command., seven gold medals, they finished 13th in the table, and an

honourable mention for New Zealand, because they have 80 medals in total

and it is their best performance ever, a record ten different nations

winning medals. A fortnight on Wednesday, Rio will

be hosting athletes from around the world, the date of the opening

ceremony of the Paralympics. We have time now to reflect on the

Olympic Games, and we will be looking ahead to the Paralympics.

Vincent, Victoria Pendleton, Sir Steve Redgrave, picking out the

highlights of the Games which have exceeded expectations.

We have been amazed and surprised and delighted.

Christ the Redeemer looking down on this city and as one of the most

populous city in the world, it was a games that definitely tested all

parts of Rio. The city has delivered and most certainly the sport has.

The smiling face of Usain Bolt, we will remember that for a long time.

What did you expect and what has it delivered?

I think we expected a party city, the whole atmosphere to sweep us

along for the fortnight. I don't think that has quite happened in the

same weight we thought it might. The sport, on the field of play,

looking at the TV pictures, that is a winning combination.

I do think that the spectator ticket sales, that has been a huge issue

which they must have seen coming and they haven't been able to solve.

It took awhile for the party to get started, the latter stages, and Nick

Skelton said the stadium was packed every time.

It took awhile to get going especially in the early days of

competition. We were looking at the stands thinking, we have five

minutes, where is everybody? Sometimes the crowd weren't

necessarily as enthusiastic about every single performance. We were

lucky in London the crowd was so enjoying being there. Everybody got

a really good reception. That is a good point. It makes us

realise how special London was. London was very special. There is a

culture in Brazil sport to stand up. They don't like taking their seats.

At the swimming venue, I was surprised how few were sitting. But

loads standing, trying to find somewhere to see.

That is one of the issues. In some venues, they have been full, others

only half, which is a shame. We knew we could have quadrupled the

sales of tickets in London. There were masses of British fans

who travelled to support their athletes. That was very much

appreciated but it had an effect because we registered the most

successful away Games and surpassed the medals tally of London, the

first Nation in modern Olympics to improve four years after hosting the

Games. What is the secret? London 2012 had

been glorious but these were now oversees Games, four times is awake

in the southern hemisphere on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Expectations had to be tempered. Didn't they? What did the early

signs suggest? This?

Geraint Thomas crashes out. Or this?

What a brilliant world record. Swimming had been a Reddit

appointment in London, three medals, no gold. In Rio, Adam Peaty led the

way. Utterly brilliant, Adam Peaty takes

Olympic gold. He has obliterated the world record.

Jazz Carlin, two silver medals, the London number doubled in the

swimming pool, six medals. A rainy land surrounded by the sea.

Downhill water, rough water. Flat water. Great Britain are the

Olympic champions. That has a fantastic ring.

Green water. Yes, come on! Pure gold.

They have done it. The triathlete who had to run into

the sea from Copacabana Beach and we were in our element.

Alistair Brownlee, the finest triathletes we have seen, a gold and

silver for the Brownlee brothers. Justin Rose avoided water to win

gold. The other News sport. Progressing to

the final and there, overwhelmed, Fiji won hearts and gold in Rio.

Britain, and outdoors nation of shooting, and horses.

Charlotte Dujardin with Valerie Grove has done it.

Talking about winning hearts and goals, and Britain of the great

indoors. On the panel horse. Great Britain

make history again. Max Whitlock, double Olympic champion. -- Pommel

horse. And if first medal for the men's

doubles here. Britain, a nation of fighters.

Nicola Adams lets out a triumphant roar.

The Welsh Wonder with gold again. And perhaps the greatest scrapper of

them all who fought his way to gold and the point of collapse.

And hockey, you don't mess with Maddie Hinch.

On the track, they lined up on Super Saturday and came close.

Closer. Jess Ennis-Hill, silver at this

time. Which left Mo.

Bow to his superiority, Mo Farah wins the gold medal.

There was an interlude during which a ballet dancer turned hammer

thrower took her turns will stop Mo part two, or the double-double.

Four Olympic titles. Incredible from Mo Farah. Which

leaves this, the medal factory. But once had a car industry, now it is

bikes, medals churned out on an industrial scale.

The awesome foursome have done it, smashed the world record. Laura

Trott, a record fourth gold medal. What a ride, a golden hat-trick in

Rio for Jason Kenny. Could this be true? China overtaken

in the medal table? We came to Rio with professional steeliness driven

by the formula of medals equal funding. It is tough and

unforgiving. With the founding fathers of the Olympics with a

totally approve? Go well and be rewarded. And how

well the great British fortnight in Rio has gone.

Can you put your finger on why it is succeeding so well? We look at this

graphic. The number of sports Britain has won

gold medals, 16, more than any other nation?

Partly Lottery funding. There was an amazing Olympics 20 years ago where

there was one gold medal. I wonder who won that.

It was a superb Olympics on all fronts but we won just a single gold

medal. The Lottery started in the autumn after that Olympics.

It started before that but on capital investments, on structures.

Not till afterwards the athletes got grants from it.

You were doing it for nothing, Steve, and winning gold.

Amateur in all the best and worst senses of the word.

A key element is what we have been able to invest in is their talents,

making sure they are being guided through.

The support teams behind that. When my first Games in LA, on the fringes

of the Moscow team, we had one professional, in 1980. This is just

in rowing. Now in a rowing we have over 50.

It is the expertise of them helping our great athletes achieve great

things. Cycling, our most successful sport

again, have invested heavily as a sport in technology and science,

targeted as a soft option, then made it work.

They have. Everyone is questioning how this happened. It took ten years

of working out how to spend the Lottery funding to get to Beijing

where we had our first taste of success in the velodrome. They got a

blueprint and the experts. Some really incredible people drawn from

all over the world to deliver the highest level of expertise.

In cycling, it started to raise suspicions. There were comments from

former competitors of yours saying, what is going on?

Yes, it is awkward. Saying there is something there, without specific

accusations, questioning how is this possible? The answer is the fact we

have had continual Lottery support funding. I came the sport with a

part-time job, training part-time, I might make it on the team. As

opposed to an incredible system and given the best possible chance.

The net is spreading wider. Ten new nations winning medals for the first

time at these Games. Team GB has new faces and new stars.

Mark Chapman is in the park with some of them.

We are in the Olympic Park. Sophie Hitchon, Bryony Page and Joe Clarke

with me. You could say three momentous medals

over the course of the fortnight. Yours was the first in the hammer,

the first field event since 1988. It was really exciting, incredible.

And one of the best celebrations of the whole Games.

I have seen the clip a few times. Amazing.

What are you expecting from the closing ceremony?

Hopefully, it won't rain. I am not sure about that.

The whole team will get together, it will be good.

Briny, how much are you aware of the reaction back home, that hundreds of

thousands of kids, in the back garden, bouncing around, because of

what you do. It will be interesting going back

home to see it in person, get lots of people involved in sport,

trampolining, gymnastics. I am excited to see where it goes.

After your medal, one of the pictures was a view sitting on those

bouncy tragedies we have in the garden.

What we want to do is get people involved in clubs, and learn the

basics safely. Find your local club and get involved.

We will keep this short because it could pour down.

If I look back at the articles of you winning your gold medal, you

realise at that precise moment, it needed your gold medal to give

Britain momentum. Can you see that now?

At the time I went out to do my job. Looking back, you can see clearly

hopefully its bird the guys on, the diving medal straight afterwards, it

kicked the Games off. Is it weird to feel like that?

I am not sure. It did give momentum. I don't know.

Credit where it is due. It was nice to see it. And to do

well in the medals table is so good. We'll all be at the medals --

ceremony. Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for

Great Britain. They wonderful old record, the time, my goodness me,

57.13. Mark Cavendish has an Olympic medal. It is silver. The USA have

it. Great Britain have the bronze medal. Carling, silver medal

position. I obviously cannot believe it. And the gold medal goes to Great

Britain. Olympic champions again. Laura Trott is Britain's most

successful female Olympian of all time. Jason Kenny has got it. I

think we have done quite well. Here we go, silver to Great Britain, well

done. Holding on to take the bronze. Olympic medallist, can you believe

it? Chris Froome cooled it out, he really dug deep. It is gold for

Saskia Clark. Absolutely awesome. There is a medal here for Becky

James. Silver. Can she get it on the line, I think she can. Absolutely

extraordinary. Great Britain win the silver. Bronze medal in the double

trap competition. Gold, they have smashed the world record. It is

silver for O'Connor. Finally, a chance to enjoy the moment. Will it

be Britain or Australia? Great Britain.

More highlights to, of course. Joe Joyce has been receiving his silver

medal, having been beaten in the final of the men's superheavyweight

auxin. The 67th medal for Team GB at these games. The 700th medal in the

Olympics and Paralympics for Great Britain since lottery funding

started. Joe Joyce can be very proud of his achievements. Gold, silver,

bronze. For the British boxers at these games. Because of the time

shifting the so-called minority sports have had a chance to shine.

Whether it trample in cycling or rowing, or show John and, all, well,

any number of them. They really shone over the middle weekend. A

very good evening to you, this could be the biggest night of the greatest

show on earth so far. Stay with us for the next few hours, it promises

to be an electric athletics meet. Can know are retained his 10,000

metres title? Greg Rutherford will be buoyed by the fact that no

furrows in the stadium. Rutherford has taken the lead. Jessica Ennis

Hill gets ready to go as the 10,000 metres runners go past. It is

another big throne. This will be close. The three from super Saturday

are all in action right now. Mo Farah, having to work hard. There is

danger in front. Danger behind. Come on. He is giving it everything. Here

comes Mo Farah. They succumb to the inevitable. Mo Farah wins the gold.

Oh my God. Rutherford need to produce the jumble of his life. He

has just earned himself a bronze medal. Stopwatches at the ready. Ten

seconds is able to metres, trust me. Jessica Ennis Hill is doing

everything she can. The gold medal she dearly hopes she can retain, but

just could not do any more. Good afternoon. Super Saturday was pretty

special, wasn't it? And it could turn into a very special Sunday.

Great Britain's max Whitlock going for a medal. He has taken a breath.

Up high, good twisting, fabulous lending. Great Britain's Max

Whitlock, the Olympic champion. Let's get the latest on the sailing.

There has been very light wind today but for Nick Dempsey that will mean

a medal. The 35-year-old British sailor. Another silver in Rio 2016.

I am so looking forward to this. It could be one of the great British

Olympic evenings of sport ever. Paul Great Britain is watching that

little white ball. Justin Rose of Great Britain takes a gold. That,

Great Britain's 12 gold medal games. And perhaps another to come in the

gymnastics. Max Whitlock is up against his team-mate Bruce Smith

and the pommel horse. Lewis is through. He has set the benchmark.

Max Whitlock. 23 years old. His chance now on the pommel horse.

Max Whitlock is now a triple Olympic champion. We have been watching on

from the velodrome where gold and silver for Team GB is absolutely

guaranteed. Jason Kenny has got this. And he wins the gold medal. It

was a win-win for British cycling. Gold and silver from Calum Skinner.

We're going to see Andy Murray on the tennis court for the gold medal.

Andy Murray is a double Olympic gold medallist. An amazing day. Five

goals for Great Britain. Good night. I was so excited at the beginning of

that day and I am still excited now. You look back and it seems ages ago.

Justin Rose and Andy Murray, Max Whitlock, Jason Kenny, but Justin

Rose, he bought into the Olympic, you know, G at the Olympics, didn't

he? He did indeed. I was developed Rome and listening on the radio to

five life and following all the other things going on, it was

incredible. It was so good, he really enjoyed it, he revelled in

it, he was passionate about the oven X, such a great thing. And it has

had a big effect on him. Apparently he has had loads of sponsorship was

coming his way, more than ever before, that is brilliant news.

Let's hope that happens to the athletes that earn a little less

than Justin Rose. Tax Whitlock. How big a name of VB now, in Britain? In

the UK? I think... Well, we will see. If you go back to when there

were much fewer gold medallist I think we perhaps struggled because

we were from a very small sport, people did not really have an

appetite for it, they did not really considered it as a sporting

achievement on the scale it is now. One of the challenges that the

current champions have is there are so many of them. That actually it is

quite difficult to make a name for yourself and stand out. It is very

difficult to say. But I genuinely, I hope that they all do better than

they would normally do. I want to see them on cereal packets. I want

to see them opening supermarkets. I want to see them on chat shows. I

think it is just good for the Olympic athletes that we have in our

country. Could still do that! In the midst of all that, late on in the

night, Andy Murray battled hard to win and managed to do so. I was at

the athletics that night taking in some of the UK sport people around,

and I was waiting for them to turn off and got to watch it on the TV. I

must admit I forgot it was five sets in the final, so I saw him serving

for the match thinking, he is not very excited about that, why is

that? And a few other people around being as well. But we watched it to

the end and what a great contest it was. He was utterly exhausted, it

was a terrific couple of days of sport, it seems a long, long time

ago that the first gold medal was won. Let's go back to marking the

park. Adam Peaty was part of that super weekend for Great Britain, the

middle weekend of the games, with the silver relays, his gold medal

around his neck as well, have you enjoyed yourself? Absolutely

amazing. It is amazing hospitality. Everywhere you go Brazilian people

are saying well done. It means so much. Is that it, wherever you have

been people have been conducted do? Yes, all the people around us now.

It is absolutely amazing, the sport has that effect. Don't use language

barriers. We all understand that. And a great performances out there,

we are all as one really. It is very powerful. Before your individual

final I was watching in a restaurant, with Mark Hunter who won

a gold in Beijing, the Ruhr, he said that as you got onto your box, the

next minute or so could change is life for ever. Yes, it gives me

goose bumps thinking about it. That is exactly it. I was not nervous, I

was not thinking of, you know, the future, the past, I was just in that

moment, in that zone, my training to be that way. You appear to have had

real belief in all the way through the games. We have done a lot of

work on the mental aspect of things. This is seven years of investment

and work. We have cashed it in this week. That is it for Team GB, we are

really strong at the moment, hopefully we can capitalise on this

for the next four years and get even stronger. How long will you take

off? A long time. A very long time to relax and fully take it in. I

don't really know what I have done yet. Hopefully I will stop to

realise what has happened, really. I think you will be in for a shock

when you get back home. In a good way, in a good way. Thank you.

They've done it. They have done it. Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow are

bronze medallists. I pounced on him at the end and did not realise we

were going backwards until we were in the water. I just went with that,

like, I don't care any more. You can see what it means to her. She really

focused well. She is an Olympic silver medallist. The Welsh wonder

strikes gold. Jade Jones becomes a two-time Olympic champion. Very nice

movement. Great Britain have got silver. Wilson makes history for

Great Britain. The first ever gymnast to medal at the Olympics and

the high bars. Everybody back home will be so proud. I just want to say

to my mum and dad, we did it. Jack Law and Chris Mills... Yes, so good.

It is gold. Pure gold. The boys are in tears. It is a silver medal.

Perfect performance from Muhammad. A bronze medal for the British pair. I

literally cannot say anything. The youngest member of Team GB. She

twisted and tumbled her way to that bronze medal. Bianca Walton has

shown the tenacity, she battled for that. Olympic games are bronze

medallist. One more to go for Jack Law. What kind of medal will we?

Yes, silver, for Jack Law. Nick Skelton, a big start, gold for Great

Britain. It really is something that has been a dream, and we wonder of

dreams do come true? They have today.

Nick Skelton, the oldest Olympic champion at these games. My bottom

lip was wobbling. Just fantastic. He will not be back for another Olympic

Games because he says the horse will not be able to do it in Tokyo but so

many athletes will be returning. Gymnastics being the biggest

surprise. Swimming, the best bit of performance since 1908. Rowing

delivered again. And continues to do so. I guess the big difference is

that the women's team is expanding. It is a contest that to get more

female medallist. -- it is fantastic. This gold medals than we

had with the woman four years ago but the number of people with medals

around their neck is a good thing, with women. It just seems to go from

strength to strength. We were never going to repeat what we did four

years ago, it was something special, in 2012. But to come pretty close to

it, with the three golds and two silvers, which is incredible, and

the men's eight produced the goods as well. A spectacular location. And

I know how much you not being there. You enjoyed it.

part of these special moments, it is a privilege to interview them as

they come from the water, for the heats and semifinals and finals. It

is a joy there will be a lot of girls

aiming for that now. Five Olympics in a row. It is the

boat we have medals in most in the history of the games.

Katherine Grainger became the most successful British Olympian, five

successive Games. That was a turnaround.

Was that a surprise? Certainly. Rowing is a very consistent sport.

On your build-up you almost decide where you will finish.

To pull that one out was incredible. Great stuff from the team. This has

been an Olympic Games of history makers. Andrew Cotter has been

looking at a fuel of them. History in the making. We all do it

every day, the most mundane event. History as soon as it passes. But

some create moments that cut far deeper into the page.

Even to compete in an Olympic Games is a tale worth telling, to say you

were there. But, in Rio, there have been those

rising above the rest by incredible achievement.

The swiftest of them all with nine gold medals now.

We have watched them across the world in Beijing, London and Rio,

the man nobody could catch. COMMENTATOR: History!

And there are those made by these Games, new faces have turned and

twisted and soared into our consciousness.

Simone Biles gets her fourth gold medal.

And the more familiar. The swimmer, with the medal count of a nation.

Phelps. Extraordinary. How do we judge the

history makers where an epic feats can seem mundane.

They are condemned by their own brilliance.

Each gold medal simply expected like a new day.

We are left wondering where do we go in our praise, hyperbole used up,

and our perception of what is great becomes less clear.

More history for the great Michael Phelps.

I am struggling for the words for him.

No longer just a foreign concern. How things have changed in 20 years

since Atlanta and the one gold medal from the twin rowing pillars.

Our view is now distorted, seen through a prism of enormous success.

There is a hard edge now to Team GB, a fearsome party that can travel

overseas and when and win and win again.

The queue for runners will stretch down the Mall.

Laura Trott it's Britain's most successful female Olympian of all

time. True that some sports do contain

thick seams of gold but our view has changed as well what can be done and

where things can be won. Events that once seemed closed are

now open. There are those who make history

with a sports return, perhaps changing minds of what belongs.

And those who do so by coming back to win. To repeat in the Olympics is

special. A glorious golden 44 Alistair

Brownlee. A gift spread out over four years.

But it is not always in dominance that history is made.

It is sometimes made by those who do things first.

One gold can mean even more than many.

It is such a moment in the history of Fiji, the rugby team, and Fiji

the country. It is also made by those who are

finally able to compete for their own country.

Gold medal to Kosovo. All by those who can't. Whose

struggle has been beyond the trivial diversion of sport, who succeed just

by being here. Sometimes history is not only

written by the victors. It is always easier to judge history

detached and impartial. From a distance. Only in years to

come can we see more clearly who was the greatest, who achieved the most.

Make the comparisons, and set them all in their rightful place.

But that is a cold detachment with something lost by then.

Perhaps it is better simply to savour these moments now, and

celebrate the history makers of Rio. There is something about it all that

is more than numbers, more than performance, more than records.

Something that goes to the heart. We are all Olympians. We fell in

love with it very young, devoted to chasing this dream and we are lucky

enough to come and experience it from the other side of the camera

and microphone. It still has a hold on me the way it did.

You were crying. I am welling up. It really does.

There is something special about the Olympics and that is something we

have to be very careful about. It is under attack from all sorts of

areas, with the Russian story which will continue to rumble on.

And the economic model around the Olympics is very confiscated.

It is under threat but it is still magical.

And it has these moments that make us cry.

And gives us moments that make us laugh.

Usain Bolt. Some of those moments looked more painful than funny.

They did. Some of the accidents on the BMX track were probably not best

to go into much detail. Very private injuries.

I will head back to mark who is surrounded by women including one

carrying the flag at the closing ceremony.

This has been a remarkable Olympics for British e-mail sport. Plenty of

success in gold medal is with me. Jade Jones, Helen Glover, Heather

Stanning and Kate Richardson-Walsh who is beaming. I will talk to you

in a moment. To do it in two consecutive Games is remarkable.

An amazing feeling. I felt so much pressure coming into these Games,

reigning Olympic champion. To pull it off is amazing.

Could you feel it on a day, you were the woman to beat, the one they were

targeting. I could. I didn't quite know how

much pressure until the day. I cried before my semifinals because

I felt so much pressure. It's the Olympics. So I went out fighting and

it paid off. For the sport it has been a good

Olympic Games. What do you want to see taekwondo do now?

Taekwondo is going from strength to strength. We are all training so

hard. It is finally paying off. The best ever Olympics.

Tokyo, we will improve again. Is it hard when you are one of the

spoils towards the Olympics. These Omidyar have been on a jolly

for the past week. It is hard being the last, watching

everyone win gold. It is still a dream to you then. You see everyone

finish. It gives you a buzz to want to get

it as well. You have been on a jolly!

We have been supporting the rest of the team.

There was a bit of beach volleyball and downtime.

We tried to get to as many conditions as we could. We have seen

swimming, athletics, hockey, weightlifting.

Loads. BMX. I forget now. What did you both

watch and thought, I quite fancy a go.

Everything! I was impressed with the synchronised swimming. I tweeted

them and they offered me a lesson, I might take them up.

We do everything together all the time. Seeing what they do together

all the time above and below the water was impressive.

The BMX was incredible, their legs must be in bits by the end.

Let me go round to Kate before we get blown away. I bring you to the

most glamorous locations! This is a cliche. Is this a fairy

tale? Yes. If it was a movie script nobody

would believe it. A true fairy tale to be on the podium with your

team-mates are having gone what we have been through.

And the honour of walking out with a flag will be the most amazing

finish. When did they tell you that you

would be the flag bearer. Late this morning. I spoke to the

chef to commission. I thought I was in trouble!

What have we done? He told me I would be flag bearer. It is the most

amazing honour. To represent a wonderful array of athletes,

everyone has shown true British spirit.

You will be the leader of Britain at their most successful Games.

Amazing. We surpassed expectation. We have even more in the tank.

This is a wonderful letter she -- legacy.

I hope we have inspired the next generation of athletes to take up

sport. You have all inspired my daughter.

You may applaud, I am proud of her. I now have to take to hockey,

rowing, and the rest. Congratulations to you all.

Max Whitlock text the first medal in the all-round final, for 108 years.

What results for Great Britain. It is Joe Clarke, the 23-year-old,

the Olympic champion. I can't quite believe it.

Absolute brilliance! They are going away Olympics all the

medallists. Mum and dad, I will never put you

through that again. They have another silver.

Why did it up, last role of the dice for Sophie Hitchon, it is big

enough! Sophie Hitchon has saved her best

for last. They are fearless, without equal,

they are history makers. Glover and Stanning.

Great Britain are in the final. A silver medal, it is amazing.

He is emerged as a start of the boxing ring through Rio 20.

Incredible discipline and power. They are Olympic champions. They

have done it in style again. A gold and a silver.

The Brownlee brothers. They believe where others might not

have done, they have got the silver medal.

He turns and schools. The golden goal. Great Britain have won the

Olympic gold medal. Just a most amazing bunch of guys.

The battle continues between Stanford and Holland. The bronze, to

Holland of Great Britain. What a race in the women's triathlon.

Absolutely sensational. The first time Great Britain have won an

Olympic medal in the women's eight. He leaves Rio is Olympic champion.

Demonstrating terrific variety to win this point. Nicola Adams lets

out a triumphant roar. I am now officially the most accomplished

amateur boxer we have ever had. It takes a lot to win an Olympic medal,

especially twice. Just so much to enjoy, so much to inspire, so much

to make us feel great about in British. It really has been a

sensational last 16 days. We have spoke to a lot of those who achieved

greatness and have gold medals round their necks but for his own unique

perspective our man for the big occasion is always Eddie Butler.

Here is his take. Never have there been an Olympic setting quite like

this. The soaring splendours of Rio. In contrast to what might sink these

games. Brazilian politics in limbo. An economy in recession, crime on
