And it's the flag of Uganda draped across the shoulders of Stephen | :00:25. | :00:35. | |
:00:35. | :00:40. | ||
Kiprotich. He is the Olympic Beautiful! This is effectively a | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
lap of honour. "Come on," he says. They're going quicker and quicker. | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
He held his nerve brilliantly! all the way! Oh, look at the time. | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
Absolutely brilliant! The noise, deafening! My words cannot do | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
justice to how I feel. And the crowd are already going ballistic. | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
:01:14. | :01:15. | ||
Have you ever seen anything like For seven years, the questions have | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
been asked countless times. Could debt-ridden Britain afford this? | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Could a nation of doubters have the conviction to pull this off? Could | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
be athletes deliver? Now the questions had to stop. There was | :01:32. | :01:42. | |
time only to take a deep breath and Earth has not anything to show more | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
fair. Dull would he be of soul who could pass by a sight so touching | :01:48. | :01:58. | |
:01:58. | :01:59. | ||
in its majesty. This city now doth like a garment wear. The beauty of | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
the morning. Silent. Bare. Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
temples. Lie open unto the fields, and to | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
the sky. All bright and glittering in the | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
:02:24. | :02:28. | ||
With that, the action began. With something of a whisper - the sigh | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
of a hope dashed. Mark Cavendish's gold medal chances are slipping | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
away here. It just seems like most teams are happy not to win as long | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
as we don't win. That's the story of our life. Vos takes gold and | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
Armitstead gets silver. When the first medal came, it was celebrated. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
Relief at being off the mark. There was a first British medal in men's | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
:03:02. | :03:05. | ||
And a team on a different kind of horse won silver. Even so, there | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
was a slight sense of anti-climax. Bronze for Rebecca Adlington was OK. | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
It was hard. It was so hard. four days had gone by. Nobody dared | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
suggest that Team GB were choking but when would somebody clear their | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
:03:31. | :03:39. | ||
throat and let out a roar? Where It came on the fifth day. Rowing - | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
ever reliable rowing - rowed to the rescue. It's an exceptional start | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
now from Helen Glover and Heather Stanning. They are just storming | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
away. And look at that. It is simply stunning. They move away and | :03:58. | :04:08. | |
they move away with some power and grace. They are making history here | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
at Eton Dorney. Great Britain into the record books and so fabulously | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
:04:25. | :04:25. | ||
Great Britain have Olympic champions. Helen Glover and Heather | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
Stanning, we stand up and we salute you. The pair that rowed to gold. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
And about to hit the road out of Hampton Court, Britain's favourite | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
pair of sideburns - as worn by the first Briton ever to win the Tour | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
de France, just days before the time trial here. A man that | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
certainly hasn't lost any fluidity at all is Bradley Wiggins. Look at | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
this. He is actually poetry in motion. Six medals to his credit in | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
the Olympics and it's looking like it's going to be gold today. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Bradley Wiggins is the Olympic champion. To be honest, it had to | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
be gold today or nothing, you know? What's the point in having seven | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
medals if they're not the right colour, you know? But the main one | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
is that it's four - number four - so I've got to carry on to Rio now | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
and go for number five. Already making plans for the future. But | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
for the moment, Bradley deserved a break. He set off to celebrate with | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
a night on the tiles - without his bike. Also smashed, the British | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
record for the Men's 200m Breaststroke. It's a fantastic | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
silver medal for Great Britain and Michael Jamieson - what a brilliant | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
swim that was. For the 40-year-old Greg Searle, bronze in the Eight. A | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
:05:58. | :05:59. | ||
silver for Gemma Gibbons and a What had started slowly was | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
gathering pace. The medal rush. One after the other. Two in the same | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
event. Valiant stop, through the finish line. And that is the | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
fastest time we've seen. Oh, my goodness. They've got a silver | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
medal. We don't just get one - we The last of this rapid-fire medal | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
burst - Peter Wilson, six foot six tall and coached by Shaikh Ahmed | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
Almaktoum. A farmer's son from Dorset, coached by a member of | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
Dubai's ruling family. And he does it! Peter Wilson has done it! | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
medals in the space of 47 minutes. Back at the lake, there was about | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
to be one of the finishes of the Games. Great Britain get the silver. | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Now, the mighty Sir Steve Redgrave had been passed by Bradley Wiggins | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
as Britain's most decorated Olympian. Another cyclist on the | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
other side of town was about to try to equal Sir Steve as the winner of | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
:07:14. | :07:36. | ||
Into the velodrome, palace of the king - or at least the knight - of | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
cycling. Here comes Chris Hoy, lining up for the run to the line, | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
and the crowd are going absolutely mad. Gold medal for Great Britain. | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
That is the fifth gold medal won in the Olympics by Sir Chris Hoy. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
about the Queen of the track? Victoria Pendleton, along with Jess | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
Varnish, disqualified in the And there was trouble for the first | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
Sea Lord. Ben Ainslie wasn't dominating in the Finn class and he | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
was made by his rival to make a penalty turn at just the wrong | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
moment. Or the right moment to wind him up. You know, he made a big | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
mistake cos I'm angry and he didn't want to make me angry. The Olympic | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
Stadium was about to reopen for business. Early in the morning, the | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
:08:37. | :08:38. | ||
heptathletes stepped out to be Jessica Ennis has got the potential | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
to set this stadium alight. Her Olympic adventure starts here. She | :08:46. | :08:56. | |
:08:56. | :08:59. | ||
is a one-woman athletics team and Jess got away to a good start. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
Jessica Ennis has been closed down by Sara Aerts of Belgium but now | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
she's beginning to pull away on the inside. Jess Zelinka's going well | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
and this is a tremendous run by Jessica Ennis. Oh, my goodness! The | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
fastest time ever by a heptathlete. The power of the crowd carried Jess | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
Ennis. The first day of athletics, the last day of judo for Karina | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:33. | ||
And on the theme of last days, was this the last chapter in a silver- | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
tinted career of Katherine Grainger? At the age of 36, one | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
last chance for a gold medal. Ladies and gentlemen, what we are | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
seeing right now is that dreams do come true! At long, long last, | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
Katherine Grainger is the Olympic champion. Worth the wait. | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Gold at last for Katherine Grainger. And for the men on this, women's | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
day at the Games, a pair of bronzes. George Nash and Will Satch, who | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
came together only a few months ago. And then the Northern Irishman. And | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
the danger of being on your own is that there's nobody there to say, | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
"Alan Campbell, don't push it too far." If this was women's day - as | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
in grown-up women - it was also a girls' night out. Into the pool | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
went 15-year-old Katie Ledecky of the United States, showing no | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
respect for her elders - including the reigning Olympic champion | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Rebecca Adlington. I think the pressure and everything - the | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
expectation, everything going into this meet - has been a little bit | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
of a battle. But I gave it my absolute all and I'm sorry that I | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
didn't get the gold for everyone that was expecting me to. In the | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
velodrome, in the slightly wacky world of the Keirin, Victoria | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
Pendleton took care this time, and then reached for the turbocharger. | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
Oh! Victoria Pendleton takes the gold medal. I can't believe it. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
Thank you so much to everyone that's helped me get here. The | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
crowd have been fantastic. In the men's team pursuit, Ed Clancy, | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Geraint Thomas, Steven Burke and Peter Kennaugh had broken the world | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
record on their way to the final. They now faced their old rivals, | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
the Australians, and their new world record wasn't safe. Half a | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
lap to go for the British team. The world record is 3'52".499. The gold | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
medal is Great Britain's. Here they come, up to the line. Oh, look at | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
the time. It's a new world record and Great Britain have won the gold | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
medal. Saturday, August 4th, the middle Saturday. Day eight of the | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
Games. Compressing medals into concentrated bursts was to remain | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
the fashion, starting at the lake on this special day. The emotion | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
would flow but not here. Four steely men in their boat of Kevlar | :11:59. | :12:07. | |
and carbon fibre with nomex honeycombs. We have done it! We | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
have done it! And we have done it in style. Great Britain, the | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
Olympic champions. And in the very next race. So Sophie Hosking and | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
Katherine Copeland now just rolling up to the line. They are the | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
Olympic champions. An incredible, incredible scull. Two gold in two | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
races. Greedy, almost. Almost. But then, it came apart. And suddenly | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
we had to know about the small print of rowing - the 100 metre | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
rule that allowed for a restart. And on the line now, Denmark just | :12:40. | :12:49. | |
sneaking ahead of Great Britain. gave everything. We tried | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
everything. We wanted to win so badly. Just sorry to everybody | :12:51. | :13:01. | |
:13:01. | :13:02. | ||
we've let down. You've let nobody down. Reliable rowing on the brink | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
of tears. Four golds, two silvers, three bronzes. No wonder the water | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
turned a little salty. The work was not yet done at the velodrome. Here, | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
too, a fourth gold was about to be won. They are on fire! Dani King, | :13:19. | :13:29. | |
:13:29. | :13:37. | ||
Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell are Night fell and all eyes turned to | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
the Olympic Stadium for the last instalment of a seven-part drama. | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
This could be gold. If you cheer loud enough, Jessica Ennis will | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
hear you. It doesn't matter that somebody's overtaken her. She's | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
given us a magnificent seven events already. And here goes Jess. She is | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
going to be the Olympic champion. Everybody is on their feet. The | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
pride of Sheffield, the pride of Great Britain. Jessica Ennis is the | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
:14:24. | :14:29. | ||
All this hard work and the disappointment of Beijing. Everyone | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
just supported me so much. I'm just so happy. The stadium had barely | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
settled when an injury-plagued 25- year-old from Bletchley in Milton | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
:14:48. | :14:52. | ||
And it's big. Can you believe what is happening in this stadium at the | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
moment? Eight metres and 31. Olympic Long Jump champion, Greg | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
Rutherford. And barely had the crowd finished celebrating that | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
when a 29-year-old from Mogadishu, Somalia, who came to Britain at the | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
age of eight, set off on 25 laps of the track. So the 10,000m final | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:30. | ||
There goes Mo Farah. That's his first move - real serious move - | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
and there's been a response this time from Bekele. Mo Farah hits the | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
front. A lap to go. The bell rings. Is it tolling for a gold medal for | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
:15:54. | :15:58. | ||
Great Britain? Will Farah have Farah with a metre lead but that's | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
:16:08. | :16:14. | ||
And Farah is kicking hard. The crowd are lifting him. Farah into | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
the home straight. Just 100 metres to go. Has he got enough? He's | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
:16:28. | :16:40. | ||
kicking again. Mo Farah is going That meant so much to me. Just | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
seeing my daughter, like, really emotional. She's coming out running | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
:16:53. | :16:57. | ||
Three gold medals in 45 minutes. Who could follow that? One man | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
could and he will have his moment. But elsewhere, the sense that such | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
a day could not be bettered. A bronze for Ed Clancy in the Omnium. | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
Christine Ohorogu so close in the 400m. Sterling, sterling effort to | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
get the silver. A silver for Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson in the | :17:17. | :17:25. | |
Not much drama on this day after? In the gymnastics, suddenly there | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
was - on the pommel horse. First Max Whitlock and then, last to go, | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
:17:40. | :17:41. | ||
Louis Smith. That is superb! For my money, that is worth a gold medal. | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
It's a tie. Because the execution score was slightly lower than | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
:17:55. | :17:59. | ||
Down at the sailing, it had been fraught for Ben Ainslie. But he'd | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
won gold, making it four golds and one silver at five Games. What was | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
the Admiral's mood now? You are the greatest Olympic sailor in history. | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
Yeah. Not such a quiet day after all. From Weymouth to Wimbledon, it | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
was about to go wild. A sometimes- grumpy Scot from Dunblane, never | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
really sure about his popularity, discovered he was a darling of the | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
nation. Andy Murray had beaten Novak Djokovic. Now he faced the | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
player who defeated him in the Wimbledon final - the great Roger | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
Federer. Since he pulled on that Team GB shirt, he's been like a man | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
possessed this week. It's a golden triumph for Andy Murray! It's | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
number one for me - the biggest win of my life. This week's been | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
incredible. I've had a lot of fun. The support's been amazing. | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
Immediately into the next doubles final with Laura Robson. Silver. | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
Jason Kenny had been picked ahead of Sir Chris Hoy for the men's | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
sprint. If the rider from Farnworth in Bolton was feeling the pressure | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
of being selected ahead of the Scotsman, it didn't show. Kenny's | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
got the head of the race, and Bauge will not take it. Kenny is the | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
Olympic sprint champion! He wins the gold medal, and he won it in | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
style! It was a battle to get here with Chris, knowing you've got | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
someone on the sideline, who definitely wouldn't give that | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
second sprint away. I was like, "Oh, I'd better not mess this one up, | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
Beth Tweddle had led the revival in British gymnastics - three-times | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
world champion, but never an Olympic medallist. She kept going | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
:19:58. | :20:00. | ||
for this - one last go - and a Greenwich Park, handsome home for | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
horses and riders. The show jumping team were little fancied. The last | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
time Britain had won a medal in this event was 1952. But here, just | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
a few strides from the Greenwich prime meridian, everything was on | :20:13. | :20:23. | |
:20:23. | :20:23. | ||
the line. Just the double and the last to jump. Come on! Now the last. | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
Down to Tower Bridge for gold. This could be the first gold for Great | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
Britain since 1952! And Britain have got gold! It means absolutely | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
everything to win this, especially for our country, for show jumping, | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
you know. For me personally, it's everything. | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
The moment came for an abdication. It was time for the king and queen | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
of cycling to say their Olympic farewell. Queen Victoria left with | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
a silver, but with such a sense of relief. It was such a | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
disappointment. It's all over. You've been incredible. The king | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
left with a leap into the record books. Shoulder to shoulder now as | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
they come off the bend. And they're lining up for the run to the line. | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Who's going to get it?! Chris Hoy gets the gold medal! That's his | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
sixth gold medal. He becomes the greatest British Olympian! I'm in | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
shock, you know. You try to compose yourself and take it all in, but | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
this is just surreal. This is what I always wanted. You know, I wanted | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
to win gold in front of the home crowd. And who might fill the power | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
vacuum? An all-rounder of the Omnium. Remember, she's got to | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
finish three places ahead. In the time trial, gold medal is going to | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
go to Laura Trott. In track cycling, there were ten gold medals | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
available. Britain won seven of them. Such a tally was not possible | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
on or near the athletics track, but this was a leap of faith by Robbie | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
Grabarz, taking Team GB's medal tally beyond the 47 won at the | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
Beijing Games. The tally included a windsurfer skimming for silver over | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
the waves. Nick Dempsey, dancing on the sea. And horses dancing, just | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
behind the naval college where once they taught how to rule the waves. | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
They are a fabulous team. They've won Britain's first ever gold in | :22:30. | :22:40. | |

Triathlon. Three sports, one after the other. Two brothers, one after | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
the other. The Brownlees - Jonathan, the junior, third behind Alistair. | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
This is effectively a lap of honour. Alistair Brownlee is the Olympic | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
triathlon champion. And there will be both of the brilliant Brownlee | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
:23:11. | :23:14. | ||
brothers on the Olympic podium as Jonathan comes home for bronze. | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
this may be the contrast of the Games. First that Dressage again. | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
The individual competition, now. Outdoors, delicate, exquisite. | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
She has got the gold! Charlotte Dujardin has iced the cake in style. | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
Britain wins gold and bronze. don't know how we've done it but | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
we've done it, and we've now got two Olympic gold medals. So, | :23:41. | :23:51. | |
:23:51. | :23:58. | ||
And then this. Indoors, volcanic, violent. Women's boxing was new to | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
the Olympics but Nicola Adams looked as if she was completely and | :24:01. | :24:11. | |
utterly at home in the bedlam. Nicola Adams, representing Great | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
Britain, has come out absolutely blazing. Nicola Adams has just made | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
history. It's a dream come true for me. I've been dreaming about this | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
since I was 12 years old and the moment's finally come. And I've got | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
my gold medal for Great Britain. Got another one on the board. | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
hands and the fast feet of Jade Jones from Flint in the fight game | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
of Taekwondo. You little beauty. And a teenage kicking superstar | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
from North Wales is the Olympic champion. It still doesn't feel | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
real. It feels crazy. I've dreamt about it for ages and now it's here, | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
it's amazing. And the crowd have just been amazing! It was less full | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
on the next day. Sailing to silver in the 470 class, Saskia Clarke and | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
Hannah Mills, Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell. A hockey medal - | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
the first for 20 years. And a bronze for Lutalo Muhammad in | :25:17. | :25:27. | |
:25:27. | :25:28. | ||
Was that it? Way back, there have been anxiety about the first gold. | :25:28. | :25:38. | |
:25:38. | :25:40. | ||
Was there time for a last one? Last It is gold for Ed McKeever. And the | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
quiet man lets out a roar. And a bronze for Liam Heath and John | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
Schofield. In the world of falling beautifully, Tom Daley had been | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
struggling a bit. These had been difficult times - losing his dad, | :25:55. | :26:04. | |
Rob, to cancer last year, and here not quite at his best. Until now. | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
This was a bronze celebrated as if it were pure gold. | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
In another flurry of arms, late medals came. The bronze had already | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
come to middleweight Anthony Ogogo. And now bantamweight Luke Campbell | :26:19. | :26:27. | |
was in the Gold final. Luke Campbell has done it again. There | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
was a silver for Fred Evans. And one rousing boxing finale. Anthony | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
Joshua is the Olympic superheavyweight champion. | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
boxer who wouldn't give up and the modern pentathlete who didn't give | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
up. Samantha Murray - silver. Back to the Olympic Stadium for one last | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
night of athletics. Mo Farah had helped turn the second Saturday of | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
the Games into a night to remember. What could he do now on the third | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
and last Saturday? The crowd are on their feet. They are trying to roar | :27:07. | :27:16. | |
him home. Saturday nights were Mo nights. He's got to find something | :27:16. | :27:26. | |
:27:26. | :27:29. | ||
extra. He's got to kick on. Farah is going to make it two gold medals | :27:29. | :27:37. | |
for Great Britain. Beautiful! The question had been asked - could | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
Team GB deliver? They had delivered beyond expectation. Out of this | :27:41. | :27:51. | |
:27:51. | :28:01. | ||
Early in the morning of the second Monday of the Games, a roving | :28:02. | :28:09. | |
laboratory called Curiosity landed on Mars. Had curiosity got the | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
better of Curiosity, and had it pointed a camera back into space in | :28:12. | :28:21. | |
the direction of home, it might have detected a surge of energy. | :28:21. | :28:27. | |
Signs of life on Earth. That would be the world going wild. How | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
different from the sound a little earlier. When in the silence of | :28:31. | :28:41. | |
:28:41. | :28:55. | ||
Before the age of Usain Bolt, it was feared the 100m was turning | :28:55. | :29:01. | |
into chemical alley - Olympic lanes of suspicious speed. But Bolt in | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
Beijing had made it pure theatre, and now he was top billing in | :29:04. | :29:12. | |
London. This is the race that makes the world hold its breath. Not a | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
long breath, just the time it takes for this long stretch of Jamaica to | :29:16. | :29:24. | |
become a legend. But danger lurked. Yohan Blake, his training partner, | :29:24. | :29:32. | |
who had beaten him twice at the Jamaican trials. Also from Jamaica, | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
Asafa Powell, and from across the Caribbean Sea, Richard Thompson of | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
Trinidad & Tobago, and Churandy Martina of Curacao. And three | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
Americans, Ryan Bailey, Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin, once banned for | :29:45. | :29:54. | |
four years on a doping rap. The 100m. This had always been | :29:54. | :30:02. | |
America's race, and they wanted it back. 80,000 drew their breath. And | :30:02. | :30:12. | |
:30:12. | :30:34. | ||
Gatlin is up very quickly. Bolt turns on the big engine and takes | :30:34. | :30:44. | |
:30:44. | :30:47. | ||
command! Usain Bolt! Bolt! Bolt! Bolt, Bolt, Bolt! He is pulling | :30:47. | :30:53. | |
away, he is going to win the gold! He is still the king of the 100! | :30:53. | :31:03. | |
:31:03. | :31:03. | ||
My coach said, "Stop worrying about the start. The best part of your | :31:03. | :31:13. | |
race is at the end." Usain! Once, from London, Britain had | :31:13. | :31:23. | |
:31:23. | :31:24. | ||
ruled Jamaica. Now, 50 years after independence, Jamaica ruled London. | :31:24. | :31:33. | |
Gold medallist and Olympic champion, representing Jamaica, Usain Bolt! | :31:33. | :31:43. | |
:31:43. | :31:52. | ||
Four days later, Bolt was back. And Yohan Blake was back. With a third | :31:52. | :32:02. | |
:32:02. | :32:13. | ||
Jamaican, Warren Weir, the 200. Look at Bolt go! It's a three-metre | :32:13. | :32:21. | |
lead as he comes into the home straight. Here comes Blake, though, | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
running him down, but he's not going to catch him. Bolt's going to | :32:25. | :32:31. | |
do it again! 19.32. Gold all the way. Blake takes silver. Warren | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
Weir has got the bronze. A Jamaican clean sweep. You cannot argue that | :32:36. | :32:43. | |
he has no equal. He is just incomparable in the world of | :32:43. | :32:48. | |
sprinting. The only man ever to have defended the Olympic 200m | :32:48. | :32:57. | |
title. This is what I wanted, and I got it. I'm really dedicated to my | :32:57. | :33:02. | |
work, and I know what London meant to me and I came here and I gave it | :33:02. | :33:07. | |
my all. I gave it my best and I'm proud of myself. For every Jamaican | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
man, there is a Jamaican woman. There was a 100m title to defend | :33:11. | :33:21. | |
:33:21. | :33:32. | ||
Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce really If Jamaica was leading the way, | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
there was a response across the Caribbean. Here was Grenada's turn | :33:37. | :33:42. | |
in a longer sprint. Kirani James is going to take Olympic gold, his | :33:42. | :33:51. | |
nation's first ever! The Dominican Republic. Sanchez takes the gold | :33:51. | :34:01. | |
:34:01. | :34:05. | ||
medal! The Bahamas. The Bahamas are challenging the United States! | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
Champions for the very first time. That's how we put it down! | :34:08. | :34:12. | |
largest island in the Caribbean, Cuba. Cuba is big but, compared | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
with America, still a speck. All these islands fleabites on the | :34:16. | :34:25. | |
flanks of the giant. And how would the giant react? Out came the champ. | :34:25. | :34:31. | |
The greatest swimmer of all time at his fourth and last Games. Six | :34:31. | :34:39. | |
golds in Athens, eight in Beijing, going for seven in London. This | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
would show the world America wasn't spent yet, wouldn't it? Phelps | :34:42. | :34:46. | |
looks in trouble here. Is he going to lose the 400 to this guy | :34:46. | :34:50. | |
leading? And he's leading by miles. Ryan Lochte wins the 400 medley. | :34:50. | :34:56. | |
And look at that - Michael Phelps is fourth! Not in the first final. | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
Another swimmer was having to make the American point. Nor in the | :34:59. | :35:03. | |
second. Thanks to a French revolution in the pool, France were | :35:03. | :35:07. | |
on their way to a record haul of seven medals. I think the French | :35:07. | :35:11. | |
might win this, you know. This is an amazing swim. After so many | :35:11. | :35:15. | |
years of coming second and third, finally the French have done it. | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
The French commentators to our right are going more nuts than you, | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
Andy. They're up and down all over the place. Les Francais, champions | :35:21. | :35:29. | |
Olympiques! Nor the third. Michael Phelps was being upstaged by a | :35:29. | :35:38. | |
South African and his dad. What a beautiful boy. Look! Sorry, sorry! | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
Was there to be no grand exit? There was. The crowd is starting to | :35:43. | :35:46. | |
stand up and salute the greatest Olympian in history. Michael Phelps | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
bringing home the American team. The gold in the men's 4x200m | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
freestyle goes to USA, and Michael Phelps becomes the greatest | :35:53. | :36:01. | |
Olympian in history with 19 medals, his 15th gold. We did it. First | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
gold of the meet, so I am very happy. The final of the men's 200m | :36:05. | :36:14. | |
individual medley. Well, Michael Phelps may well get this back, but | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
Lochte's is not giving up yet in lane four. Lochte is coming back | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
but I think it's going to be Michael Phelps. The great Michael | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
Phelps has just won his 20th Olympic medal. Someone special rang | :36:25. | :36:30. | |
you yesterday, didn't they? Yeah, the President called me yesterday. | :36:30. | :36:36. | |
It was pretty cool! It was just... Somebody called and asked for me | :36:36. | :36:39. | |
and they said, "Hold, please, for the President of the United | :36:39. | :36:48. | |
States," and I was like, "Er, OK!" The final of the men's 100 fly. | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
Michael Phelps in lane four's still got a lot of work to do. He is | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
coming back but still there is Chavez. Is Chavez going to get it? | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
No, Phelps has got it. Kids put their parents through all sorts of | :36:59. | :37:04. | |
grief, don't they?! That is the end of Michael Phelps, and where does | :37:04. | :37:11. | |
he finish? He finishes right on top! His 18th Olympic gold medal. | :37:11. | :37:15. | |
dreamt of being the greatest. Looking back on my career, I know I | :37:15. | :37:21. | |
am hanging my suit up, retiring. Looking back and saying, "I've done | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
everything I wanted." At the age of 27, Michael Phelps was done, | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
weighed down by 22 Olympic medals - 18 of them gold - the greatest of | :37:30. | :37:38. | |
all time. It seemed America was hardly struggling after all. They | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
failed to win a men's boxing medal for the first time ever, but they | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
were going toe-to-toe with China to see who would stop the overall | :37:44. | :37:54. | |

away. The clock is going to stop at a marvellous time. Carmelita Jeter | :41:25. | :41:34. | |
wins it for the USA, Jamaica in second. The Ukrainian third. | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
America. The dominant force, still, in track and field - the heart of | :41:38. | :41:48. | |

the Games. There was still time for a speck of an island in the | :41:55. | :42:03. | |
Caribbean to have the final say. The 4x100m relay. Jamaica have got | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
to get moving here. The baton changes are good. Fraser with it. | :42:06. | :42:10. | |
He will be handing it to Blake. And now Tyson Gay. That's a decent | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
change but Blake's now right on the Americans. But Bolt's going to have | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
it in the lead and you know what that means. Here he goes. They've | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
got the baton. Bailey's trying to hold onto Bolt. He's got no chance. | :42:21. | :42:28. | |
Bolt's away and gone. Jamaica are the gold medallists again and it's | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
a new world record. Smashes it to pieces. Two great teams but only | :42:33. | :42:43. | |

There is always something of the unreal about the Olympics. All this | :44:08. | :44:17. | |
is far removed from normal London life. Strangers talking, smiling. | :44:17. | :44:27. | |
:44:27. | :44:30. | ||
It's not natural. But this is the Olympic bubble. The Olympic | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
movement began as a fantasised, noble sporting world, without women, | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
for privileged white men. It has had to change but it still swears | :44:36. | :44:45. | |
to abide by the spirit of fair play. Reality tends to crash the party | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
and fair play can be an early victim. Drugs, doping. Somehow they | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
always manage to find their way into the Olympic vein and there | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
were a handful of positive results here for stop the war against | :44:54. | :45:01. | |
chemicals goes on. Working out the best route to the medals. Not | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
winning sometimes helps in a round robin format. What happens if both | :45:05. | :45:14. | |
teams decide not to win? They are serving fault after fault. They are | :45:14. | :45:18. | |
just hitting the ball into the net. Depressing. I mean, who wants to | :45:18. | :45:22. | |
sit through something like that? It is unacceptable. Is it wrong to | :45:22. | :45:25. | |

did he get that from? It's a question of judgement, or judging. | :45:54. | :45:57. | |
Here there is sometimes a problem, when it's all about one person's | :45:57. | :46:00. | |
view of things. When one boxer is knocked down six times, he might be | :46:00. | :46:03. | |

Pavlos Kontides won a first-ever medal for Cyprus, a silver in the | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
sailing. And 15-year-old Ruta Meilutyte won Lithuania's first | :48:27. | :48:31. | |
gold medal in the swimming. Perhaps it wasn't so much these individual | :48:31. | :48:34. | |
feats that stood out as much as those of a whole section of | :48:35. | :48:44. | |
:48:45. | :48:45. | ||
competitors, of one gender. These were the Olympics of the women. | :48:45. | :48:48. | |
London in the age of the suffragettes had done its bit - a | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
little bit - to allow women into the Olympics. There was women's | :48:52. | :48:58. | |
tennis and archery in 1908. But in 2012, women came from everywhere to | :48:59. | :49:05. | |
compete at the Games. For the first time, from Qatar and Saudi Arabia. | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
For the first time, there was women's boxing. And the Olympic | :49:09. | :49:17. | |
champion, in the red corner, representing Ireland, Katie Taylor. | :49:17. | :49:22. | |
Women provided the finish of the Games. They are shoulder to | :49:22. | :49:25. | |
shoulder. Norden comes alongside. Norden, of Sweden, takes the lead | :49:25. | :49:35. | |
away from Spirig. It's a photo finish in the Olympic triathlon. | :49:35. | :49:44. | |
Women took their spills and probably cried less than the men. | :49:44. | :49:46. | |
It couldn't be perfect for everyone, although Holly Bleasdale's Olympics | :49:46. | :49:56. | |
ended not with a flop but with a proposal of marriage. She said yes. | :49:56. | :50:00. | |
But no, it couldn't end happily for everyone. And for one Londoner, it | :50:00. | :50:05. | |
turned into a difficult time from start to finish. Phillips Idowu, | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
born in Hackney, just a hop, skip and a jump from the stadium - on a | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
good day. He arrived at last but for him, there was no home | :50:14. | :50:21. | |
advantage. He will not make it through to the final. But what of | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
London? How were the Games for the city? A question only a Londoner | :50:25. | :50:35. | |
:50:35. | :50:43. | ||

Us Londoners are a funny lot, used to living life at pace. And | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
whatever happens in the city, we find a way to deal with it. Before | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
the Games began, there was a tangible sense of apprehension. We | :51:03. | :51:11. | |
knew the world would be watching and we wanted to get it right. We | :51:11. | :51:14. | |
are also a pretty honest bunch. We don't pretend things are perfect | :51:14. | :51:18. | |
when they're not. You see, getting around the city has not been easy | :51:18. | :51:27. | |
the easiest, with the Olympic lanes Everyday life of those working | :51:27. | :51:29. | |
around the Games has undoubtedly been unsettled, and there's | :51:29. | :51:31. | |
probably a significant number of people looking forward to getting | :51:31. | :51:38. | |
their city back. But the vast majority have embraced the Olympics. | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
I mean, let's face it - it's not going to be back again in most | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
people's lifetimes. That is why there has been frustration at empty | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
seats. Millions applied for tickets and didn't get them. They would | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
have loved to have witnessed those incredible "where were you?" | :51:52. | :51:56. | |
moments first hand. Please don't run away with the idea that this is | :51:56. | :52:01. | |
a public response to the venues. It's not. Those venues are humming | :52:01. | :52:11. | |
:52:11. | :52:16. | ||
MUSIC: "Welcome Home" by Radical The vibe is just amazing. | :52:16. | :52:18. | |
Everyone's really happy. Even though you support different | :52:18. | :52:20. | |
countries, everybody is really friendly. The atmosphere is amazing. | :52:20. | :52:23. | |
The popularity of three events said it all, thousands lining the rainy | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
streets for the women's marathon and Bradley Wiggins and the boys | :52:26. | :52:31. | |
being cheered on for all 250 kilometres of the road-race cycling. | :52:31. | :52:34. | |
What an incredible experience, to be riding the roads of London | :52:34. | :52:40. | |
surrounded by hundreds of thousands of British fans. Londoners aren't | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
known for being particularly sociable, but if you were in any | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
doubt that the Olympics was special, you won't be now. You see, we've | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
huddled around screens, waved flags and, best of all, we've done it | :52:49. | :52:56. | |
together. # I've come ho-o-o-ome. | :52:56. | :53:05. | |
# I'm home #. She's done us proud! Londoners are arguably at their | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
strongest during the bad times. A stubborn resilience born out of | :53:09. | :53:12. | |
necessity more than anything else. Maybe that's why we're often seen | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
as cold - antisocial, even. But the last two and a half weeks have | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
proven that we can enjoy ourselves. The atmosphere in the stadiums has | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
filtered into the streets, and the city is buzzing. You can feel it in | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
the air. And there's only one thing that everyone is talking about. | :53:26. | :53:30. | |
Jessica Ennis. She's awesome. cycling guy, Sir Chris Hoy. Bradley | :53:30. | :53:35. | |
Wiggins. Luke Campbell, who's from Hull, which is where we're from. | :53:35. | :53:40. | |
Farah and Jess Ennis. We just cheered and cheered and cheered. | :53:40. | :53:42. | |
It's the old British thing, isn't it? When there's something like | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
this, we all come together and rejoice in something that is so | :53:45. | :53:55. | |
:53:55. | :53:56. | ||
When the Games have gone, London will return to life as normal. | :53:56. | :54:00. | |
Olympic lanes will disappear. Venues will be pulled down. Lord's | :54:00. | :54:03. | |
will host cricket, not archery. Pageantry and tradition will return | :54:03. | :54:09. | |
to Horse Guards Parade. The big city will never be quite the same, | :54:09. | :54:12. | |
but we'll always have memories. 16 days of smiles and sport - and one | :54:12. | :54:22. | |
:54:22. | :54:31. | ||
or two of those. Yeah? No. There's something of a chill that | :54:31. | :54:39. | |
comes with that - going back to normal. Are even those who soared | :54:39. | :54:49. | |
:54:49. | :54:50. | ||
at London 2012 going to come down Are we soon to go back to taking | :54:50. | :54:56. | |
the details of things going wrong and magnifying then? Remember the | :54:56. | :55:01. | |
seats that went empty? The days that passed without a gold medal? | :55:01. | :55:06. | |
Beautiful! The place erupts! still have the question of legacy, | :55:06. | :55:14. | |
and the question is a tough one. How do you follow this? What comes | :55:15. | :55:20. | |
next? In a way, though, this nation in debt - our land of doubters - | :55:20. | :55:27. | |
had already set a new tone. Olympic flame burns on British soil | :55:27. | :55:31. | |
at last. Back in the days when the Games were on their way to London | :55:31. | :55:35. | |
and there was still time to be a bit sceptical about the whole thing, | :55:35. | :55:38. | |
the torch pulled people out of their homes up and down, and all | :55:38. | :55:44. | |
the way across, the country. Look at these crowds. Come on! | :55:44. | :55:49. | |
Congratulations! I'm not really anybody, and people are stood there, | :55:49. | :55:54. | |
cheering me on. I just think that's ridiculous! I felt like I was in | :55:54. | :56:04. | |
:56:04. | :56:07. | ||
This was what people thought of the Games, and it simply went on from | :56:07. | :56:14. | |
there. I hope I manage to do it - that's all! I don't want to let | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
anybody down, you know. You've got two choices in life. Sit and be | :56:19. | :56:23. | |
lazy and do nothing and be depressed, or get up, get your legs | :56:23. | :56:30. | |
on and live your life exactly the same way you did before. | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
And it turned into this. Two weeks that changed the way we looked at | :56:34. | :56:44. | |
:56:44. | :56:45. | ||
sport - and each other. Could we afford it? Probably not. Was it | :56:45. | :56:50. | |
worth it? The people who came out and made the Games - these London | :56:50. | :57:00. | |
