Hello, the beautiful city of Barcelona continues to delight us

:00:54.:00:59.

with its hidden gems as we reached the halfway stage. We have already

:00:59.:01:04.

unearthed some stars of the future, but tonight we are set to be

:01:04.:01:14.
:01:14.:01:47.

entertained by those global names Hello, welcome back to Barcelona as

:01:47.:01:52.

we reached the halfway stage of the World Swimming Championships. My

:01:52.:01:59.

dynamic duo as ever up here, Mark Foster and Rebecca Adlington. It

:01:59.:02:03.

has been noticed how beautifully co-ordinated you buy this evening

:02:03.:02:07.

in red, white and blue and maybe it will bring luck to the British team

:02:07.:02:13.

this evening. In the first semi- final in the men's 100m freestyle,

:02:13.:02:23.
:02:23.:02:38.

champion. Adam Brown is going to have to go with him. It is an

:02:38.:02:42.

interesting lane assignment. I think it is good because he has

:02:42.:02:47.

just got to go for it. The Olympic champion is going well. It took

:02:48.:02:57.

Nathan Adrian ages to breathe. But Adam Brown is sticking with him.

:02:57.:03:02.

Fabien Gilot looks fantastic as well. But Adam is going well, as

:03:02.:03:07.

long as he can hold on, he has got a decent chance of making it into

:03:07.:03:17.
:03:17.:03:18.

the final. Come on, let's finish this off. Adam Brown finished in

:03:18.:03:25.

4th. He has got a chance in the final. Wow, that is his lifetime

:03:26.:03:32.

best and look what happens when you do your lifetime best. The Olympic

:03:32.:03:42.
:03:42.:03:45.

champion winning the first final. You know each other really well.

:03:45.:03:49.

have raced him many times and I tried to stay with him as best I

:03:49.:03:54.

could, and it is a good time, so I am pleased with that. You did not

:03:54.:04:00.

mind being in an outside lane? because there are Leicester waves.

:04:00.:04:05.

You have to get in and race and still the best time. Fingers

:04:05.:04:15.
:04:15.:04:31.

crossed. See you later. -- there 100m freestyle. The big Brazilian

:04:31.:04:37.

is close to us. The world record holder decided not to do 100m this

:04:37.:04:47.
:04:47.:05:02.

year. It is Jimmy Fagan in two. And Marcelo Chierighini is doing well

:05:02.:05:12.
:05:12.:05:14.

to. Three American-trained swimmers leading this pack. That was not

:05:14.:05:24.
:05:24.:05:56.

that quick. So Adam Brown is going We are bitterly disappointed for

:05:56.:06:02.

Adam Brown, just missing out on the final. 9th is the worst place to be,

:06:02.:06:08.

but he did a best time. He did a perfect race for him. It was great

:06:08.:06:13.

for him to be on the outside next to Nathan Adrian. With 100m

:06:13.:06:19.

freestyle, if you can sit near the lane rope and sit on the wave, you

:06:19.:06:26.

can get dragged along. He did his best time, but it was not enough.

:06:26.:06:31.

There is always a possibility somebody will decide that they may

:06:31.:06:35.

not make that final, but it is very unlikely. He will have to settle

:06:35.:06:40.

for a swimming his best time ever. It is highly unlikely that someone

:06:40.:06:46.

will pull out unless it is illness or injury. But he has got the 50m

:06:46.:06:51.

freestyle later on in the week and he has got the men's relay, so he

:06:51.:06:58.

has got more swims to come. A in the podium positions Magnusson last

:06:58.:07:02.

year came out and said he was going to win everything and he did not.

:07:02.:07:09.

He got the silver medal in London. What is going on with his form?

:07:09.:07:13.

the Olympic Games he came out and shouted about what he is going to

:07:13.:07:19.

do and did not deliver. Coming here he has done some of the fastest

:07:19.:07:24.

times in the year. But you have to earn the gold medal. In the relay

:07:24.:07:28.

in the lead of he did not deliver. If he had done the time he did this

:07:28.:07:34.

morning, they could have won the race. Then this morning he was

:07:34.:07:40.

slightly out. Who is favourite? Nathan Adrian who delivered at the

:07:40.:07:44.

Olympic Games when he was not supposed it. Yannick Agnel says you

:07:44.:07:51.

can have a strange year and come here and win. We have got two more

:07:51.:07:55.

semi-finals and the women's 50m backstroke. We have got

:07:55.:08:05.
:08:05.:08:25.

representation from Lauren Quigley Quigley, her head well back. A very

:08:25.:08:34.

interesting start from Emily Seebohm. Lauren Quigley is in the

:08:34.:08:38.

blue suit and she is going well. She needs to wind it up in these

:08:38.:08:48.
:08:48.:08:50.

last 10m and she could make the final. She is in 4th position. A

:08:50.:08:56.

dangerous position after the first semi-final. That was a very good

:08:56.:09:05.

swim. That is her best time, I am sure. Mercedes was very good. The

:09:05.:09:11.

world record holder was second. Lauren Quigley has got a chance.

:09:11.:09:21.
:09:21.:09:41.

This is the second semi-final with from the Brazilian. Aya Terakawa is

:09:41.:09:51.
:09:51.:09:52.

coming back. Great Britain is 4th. I think we may have two British

:09:52.:09:59.

finalists. She was a little bit slower than Lauren Quigley. 7th and

:09:59.:10:09.
:10:09.:10:23.

8th, that is fantastic. Excellent Fantastic news, two Brits in there

:10:23.:10:28.

and a personal best from you and close times as well. We did exactly

:10:28.:10:36.

the same time this morning, so it is a bit weird. But again hopefully

:10:36.:10:41.

we can get in the final tomorrow and give it a global stock not bad

:10:41.:10:46.

in your first international to make a world championship final? No, it

:10:46.:10:54.

is not bad at all. I learnt a lot from their 100 earlier in the week.

:10:54.:10:59.

Your whole family is here. I heard them before and hopefully they are

:10:59.:11:06.

looking forward to tomorrow night. Fantastic news for Great Britain.

:11:06.:11:13.

Two women in that final tomorrow. Appeared before Lauren Quigley. I

:11:13.:11:16.

know you have spent a lot of time with her and you are thrilled by

:11:16.:11:22.

her. It was an amazing race, I am so pleased that they both get a

:11:22.:11:29.

second swim. They progressed from the morning as well. You want a PB

:11:29.:11:33.

coming into a big meet. You do not want to be swimming the same times

:11:34.:11:40.

as the trials. I am looking forward to the final. They qualified with

:11:40.:11:45.

the same time, so realistically is there much more wet that they can

:11:45.:11:52.

do? You said it earlier with Yannick Agnel when they find a

:11:52.:11:57.

little bit extra. They are at a peak at the moment, but they came

:11:57.:12:01.

in here and we were asking for best times and they did their best times

:12:01.:12:07.

tonight. There is nothing to say they cannot do it again. Maybe they

:12:07.:12:12.

could get off the block a bit quicker, there will be tiny

:12:12.:12:20.

improvements. They have still got a chance. Does Lauren get nervous?

:12:20.:12:24.

Will this get her through the week now she is used to the noise and

:12:24.:12:30.

the arena and will it settle her a bit? The first swim is always

:12:30.:12:35.

nervous regardless of where you are. She will definitely be settling,

:12:35.:12:41.

but I know she will want to break 28 tomorrow. I am sure she will be

:12:41.:12:47.

fighting for that tomorrow. We are looking forward to that. Next up is

:12:47.:12:53.

the men's 200m butterfly final. The overwhelming favourites, a man who

:12:53.:12:57.

was best known for the person he's laid last year in London, or maybe

:12:57.:13:07.

it is because he is a big fan of his dad. He beat Michael Phelps in

:13:07.:13:16.

London, 2012. Adam Le Clo is not going very hard on this one. He put

:13:16.:13:22.

his head down for three strokes and won it. I am happy with the time

:13:22.:13:32.
:13:32.:13:46.

and I wanted to qualify, said that Clos yet. Four lengths of the

:13:46.:13:53.

swimming pool. The men's 200m butterfly. Expect Chad Le Clos to

:13:53.:14:00.

go out quickly. So far he has been looking around a lot. I think we

:14:00.:14:10.
:14:10.:14:10.

will see him concentrate on his own race. He is very relaxed. It is

:14:10.:14:16.

good to be relaxed. I bet underneath he is working hard.

:14:16.:14:26.
:14:26.:14:29.

Course Zhirinovsky is in good shape, though of. He is on form. I am

:14:29.:14:34.

surprised that Peng Wu is not up there. He struggled in the semis.

:14:34.:14:44.

Chad Le Clos is a lot more determined than he was previously.

:14:44.:14:48.

It is outside the time he won the Olympic Games in, but he looks

:14:48.:14:54.

reasonably strong. The field has not disappeared yet. He looked left

:14:54.:14:59.

and right again. He is looking right and seeing where they are. If

:14:59.:15:05.

he is not careful, Caucasian not ski, the world champion from 2005,

:15:05.:15:15.
:15:15.:15:38.

of. Look at him looking around. Go for it, go forward! Looks like he

:15:38.:15:45.

won it only just. Chad Le Clos of South Africa and the world title to

:15:45.:15:51.

the Olympic title he won in London last year. Do not swear much like

:15:51.:16:01.
:16:01.:16:02.

that! It is so funny.-- swim. are right. He could have gone half

:16:02.:16:08.

a second faster if he was looking forward. I don't know why he was

:16:08.:16:14.

looking either side. If you look to the side, your whole body is

:16:14.:16:19.

getting unbalanced during the butterfly. And do not do that! I am

:16:19.:16:25.

going to have to have big talk to him. He is Olympic and world

:16:25.:16:30.

champion. Depending on which side he looks, he is working out were

:16:30.:16:35.

the biggest threat is. I think he puts his head down for three

:16:35.:16:45.
:16:45.:16:49.

strokes here. What annoys me, he hit the finished perfectly. Chad Le

:16:49.:16:59.
:16:59.:17:05.

Clos, world champion. Different way the Looking? The commentators were

:17:05.:17:11.

getting perplexed? Sometimes I am nervous. I will look around, and

:17:11.:17:15.

make sure I am in the right position. I have done it from a

:17:15.:17:23.

young age. It is not a good example. You're not going to change it,

:17:23.:17:28.

really? I like to know where I am in the field. I like to make sure I

:17:29.:17:33.

am ahead and make sure I am in touching distance going into the

:17:33.:17:43.
:17:43.:17:50.

last 54 stuff that is my game plan. Chad Le Clos, delighted to have the

:17:50.:17:54.

World Championship to his Olympic gold. Cementing his brilliance in

:17:54.:17:58.

the butterfly. What is going on, I know the commentators quite

:17:58.:18:02.

perplexed about this head-turning. He does it consistently through the

:18:02.:18:08.

raised? We look at it and think it is like a schoolboy, but Olympic

:18:08.:18:14.

champion and now world champion, it is how he likes to swim. When you

:18:14.:18:19.

are in the water, you cut your own length. Keep focusing on your own

:18:19.:18:25.

thing. How much time could that be using up? I think he practises it

:18:25.:18:32.

in training. He must do, because he swims so fast with it, but he was

:18:32.:18:38.

two seconds of from last year. But he still won. If there was someone

:18:38.:18:44.

else there, he had another second in him? I am not saying he was

:18:44.:18:48.

holding back, but is that the impetus he needs by having someone

:18:48.:18:54.

next to him? He won the Olympic gold by such a tiny margin, he does

:18:54.:18:59.

not over exert himself, he likes the challenge. I don't think he was

:18:59.:19:04.

looking around too much against a Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps was

:19:04.:19:10.

the one to chase, now he has of the one to be chased. Pawel

:19:10.:19:19.

Korzeniowski, a great silver medal as well. Definitely. Market loves

:19:19.:19:25.

his stroke. He reckons he has the best stroke in the field. The fact

:19:25.:19:29.

he won his world Championship eight years ago, and to carry on at that

:19:29.:19:35.

level is tremendous. We have a great race, it is the women's 200-

:19:35.:19:41.

metre freestyle final. We have the Italian, Federica Pellegrini, up

:19:41.:19:51.
:19:51.:20:08.

against Missy Franklin from America. But she has come up in the leader.

:20:08.:20:14.

Her reaction to the gun was low. In six, the Olympic champion in the

:20:14.:20:20.

white hat, going out there fairly fierce -- fast in this first 50.

:20:20.:20:26.

was looking forward to this tonight. Can Federica Pellegrini really do

:20:26.:20:32.

it? She is turning last. Always comes back strongly. Missy Franklin

:20:32.:20:42.
:20:42.:20:52.

at the moment. She won't be able to catch them up on that distance on

:20:52.:20:59.

the world record? Missy Franklin lets her come in. At 75 metres,

:20:59.:21:04.

just 25 into the wall. Missy Franklin is putting on a huge

:21:04.:21:11.

sprint. My looks like the Olympic champion is trying to go with her.

:21:11.:21:16.

The rest of the field will come back and Federica Pellegrini is

:21:16.:21:23.

about three metres behind. Federica Pellegrini, I expect to get on the

:21:23.:21:33.
:21:33.:21:34.

medal podium. But she has been known to switch off. Federica he --

:21:34.:21:41.

Federica Pellegrini coming back like a rocket. The 18-year-old,

:21:41.:21:47.

Missy Franklin, is currently leading. But look how fast Federica

:21:47.:21:56.

Pellegrini is coming back. I think Missy Franklin are well hold on.

:21:56.:22:02.

The world record holder gets the silver medal. What a world-class

:22:02.:22:08.

field and what an amazing race. Perfect tactics from this young

:22:08.:22:13.

lady, Missy Franklin, from the USA. For somebody so young to have read

:22:13.:22:22.

that field is spot on for an 18- year-old. And knowing the strength

:22:22.:22:32.
:22:32.:22:35.

of Camille Moffat, using it strongly. Almost fell off the block.

:22:35.:22:40.

0.2 slower than the rest of the field with her reaction to the gun.

:22:40.:22:45.

Perfect pacing, using the people around her. Camille Muffat, the

:22:45.:22:51.

Olympic champion, using the Olympic champion, the audacity of it!

:22:51.:23:01.
:23:01.:23:10.

In it is 35 years since an American lady has won a gold medal. I did

:23:10.:23:16.

not know that. Well done, youth. Did it you plan matter with your

:23:16.:23:22.

coach? Absolutely, we knew I would have to be out fast. Federica

:23:22.:23:27.

Pellegrini has a very good back half, and I could see her creeping

:23:27.:23:32.

up. I was praying for the wall to come. Your experience is building

:23:32.:23:37.

all of the time. Is that number three you have got now? That is

:23:37.:23:44.

number three. Having got a special box to put them in? There is a safe

:23:44.:23:54.
:23:54.:23:54.

in the hotel I put them in. I am so excited. To be a part of the

:23:54.:24:01.

swimming team, it is incredible, I am going to learn so much. I swam

:24:01.:24:07.

it with your coach over 20 years ago, I wish you luck. Thanks.

:24:07.:24:14.

What a race from the 18-year-old, Missy Franklin. It was perfect and

:24:14.:24:19.

Federica Pellegrini, a power. If that pool was two metres longer, it

:24:19.:24:27.

would have been hers? Without a doubt. Federica Pellegrini only

:24:27.:24:31.

entered the 200 metres late, and she walked away with the silver

:24:31.:24:37.

medal. Just have a word on Federica Pellegrini, her career has been

:24:37.:24:41.

over such a great length of time, for a swimmer to retain that form

:24:42.:24:47.

and class over a long period, it takes some going? Those middle-

:24:47.:24:56.

distance events, the training in general, is very hard. To keep the

:24:56.:25:02.

mind set. A world record, his three seconds faster than that. To get in

:25:02.:25:06.

and beat yourself up every day, and the things the public do not see is

:25:06.:25:09.

the training that goes into make that possible. A lot of hours spent

:25:09.:25:17.

in the pool and the gym. She is 25 in about a week, Federica

:25:17.:25:21.

Pellegrini. You have 18-year-old Missy Franklin, has she got about

:25:21.:25:30.

seven years at the top of her again? If she wants it? Definitely.

:25:30.:25:35.

Federica Pellegrini has stopped doing the 400 now, she is focusing

:25:35.:25:40.

on the shorter events, which she is better at a stop Missy Franklin can

:25:40.:25:45.

pick and choose what she likes. She is so good and so talented. She is

:25:45.:25:50.

going to have a long career. will be seeing a lot of her in Rio.

:25:51.:25:54.

It was a race that lived up to the billing. We hope there will be

:25:54.:25:59.

plenty of those. In less than a week's time, it will be the start

:25:59.:26:09.
:26:09.:26:41.

of the track and field World The next Final tonight is the men's

:26:41.:26:45.

50-metre breaststroke. We know Cameron van der Burgh is in flying

:26:45.:26:52.

form. He posted a time just outside of his own world record in

:26:52.:27:02.
:27:02.:27:12.

qualifying. And he break that van der Burgh. The final of the

:27:12.:27:20.

men's 50 metres backstroke -- breaststroke. Cameron van der Burgh

:27:20.:27:26.

is looking very good. Also going well is Christian Sprenger of

:27:27.:27:32.

Australia. It looks like it might be Christian Sprenger with five

:27:32.:27:42.
:27:42.:27:42.

metres to go. Cameron van der Burgh got a touch. Just outside the world

:27:42.:27:52.
:27:52.:27:53.

record. Christian Sprenger have it! That look like my Olympic final.

:27:53.:27:59.

Christian Sprenger went in first, but Cameron van der Burgh put his

:27:59.:28:04.

last stroke in and overtook on the actual launch. He wasn't a winning.

:28:04.:28:08.

The South African getting that bronze medal. So obviously Cameron

:28:08.:28:16.

van der Burgh is pleased for his team mate. Joao Gomes Junior

:28:16.:28:22.

getting a surprise that bronze medal. We have talked on a couple

:28:22.:28:26.

of events, when you are about 10 metres out, you can adjust the

:28:26.:28:30.

length of your stroke to make sure that when your hands go forward you

:28:30.:28:36.

touch the wall at that point, and Christian Sprenger did not get it?

:28:36.:28:42.

No, he wasn't ahead as far as I thought. He launches himself into

:28:42.:28:49.

the wall first. Actually, Cameron van der Burgh did. Christian

:28:49.:28:59.
:28:59.:29:17.

You stole that from him because of your fantastic finish. It has been

:29:17.:29:24.

a roller-coaster. I have been sick and been congested. You mentioned

:29:24.:29:29.

your shoulder injury, no sign of it? You don't feel it's swimming,

:29:29.:29:36.

it is always afterwards. I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow morning.

:29:36.:29:42.

You'll have a quick beer now? then call it a day. It is turning

:29:42.:29:47.

into a fabulous night the South Africa in the pool. Just, for

:29:47.:29:51.

Cameron van der Burgh, he got it spot on? The race was perfect for

:29:51.:29:56.

him. The is the world record holder, but the finish, which it came down

:29:56.:30:02.

to the finish in the end, Christian Sprenger was coming back to him. He

:30:02.:30:06.

took two tiny strokes, he would have been better gliding into the

:30:06.:30:11.

wall. It could have gone the other way. When would that decision had

:30:11.:30:17.

been made? In the split-second. In training, when you are coming into

:30:17.:30:21.

the walls, butterfly and breaststroke is easier because

:30:21.:30:27.

you're looking at the wall. You know you are three strokes off the

:30:27.:30:31.

wall and you change your pattern accordingly. That is what Cameron

:30:31.:30:41.
:30:41.:30:52.

Poor South Africa it is a very strong night. Last night it was

:30:52.:30:56.

about the USA. For the Commonwealth it bodes well for strength and

:30:56.:31:02.

depth. The top three will be in the Commonwealth Games next year.

:31:02.:31:06.

and it is nice to hear a different national anthem. Everyone is

:31:06.:31:10.

looking forward to the Commonwealth Games, but let's hope the Brits

:31:10.:31:16.

somewhere can get in there. We have one coming up next. We have the

women's 200m butterfly semis. Jemma good start from her. The world

:31:45.:31:53.

record holder in lane five, Zige Liu. Katinka Hosszu and Zige Liu

:31:53.:32:03.
:32:03.:32:10.

typically go out fardels -- fast. It is as expected. Zige Liu is

:32:10.:32:20.

taking it out. Also Katerine Savard in lane one. Jemma Lowe looks in

:32:20.:32:30.
:32:30.:32:38.

good shape. And she is tracking the world record holder. Let's hope

:32:38.:32:44.

that she can continue despite stock that was a very fast first 100. She

:32:44.:32:49.

is a really tough swimmer, Jemma Lowe, and she has got a chance here.

:32:49.:32:55.

It is a very good position. Sometimes with the 200m you are not

:32:55.:33:02.

sure how people will take them out. You can see the American Cammile

:33:02.:33:07.

Adams in lane three. She can see along the line with her breathing

:33:07.:33:15.

style. Jemma Lowe has dropped down to 6th. She will have to dig in. It

:33:16.:33:23.

was a great first 100. But she is tailing off now. Exactly what we

:33:23.:33:33.

saw this morning, Zige Liu tying up. Coming very three strongly through

:33:33.:33:43.
:33:43.:33:47.

his cameo Adams. Katinka Hosszu is coming through. -- cameo Adams.

:33:47.:33:55.

Jemma Lowe was 6th. Look at Adams. She is going to be in the final and

:33:55.:34:05.
:34:05.:34:13.

I guess it was the way you had to swim it. Tonight I knew I would

:34:13.:34:17.

have to go but it, but it was not good enough to get into the final.

:34:17.:34:25.

That is it. The it is a stacked second semi-final. Both of them are

:34:25.:34:30.

going to be fast and you have to be in the top four or three to get in.

:34:30.:34:36.

Does that mean back to the drawing board? Yes, it has not been easy

:34:37.:34:43.

after the Olympics and I have been training as hard as I ever have had,

:34:43.:34:49.

but hopefully I will get better. Not good news for Jemma Lowe, she

:34:49.:34:55.

does not qualified. But the Spaniard, Belmonte Garcia won the

:34:55.:34:59.

second semi-final and she brought the house down with her performance.

:34:59.:35:09.
:35:09.:35:13.

It is looking good for Spain. Jemma Lowe's rays and then her

:35:13.:35:18.

competition generally, perhaps it is time for her to choose between

:35:18.:35:24.

the 100 and a 200. It is harder as you get older, especially as a

:35:24.:35:30.

woman, to focus on one event. The 100 and 200, I think she is better

:35:30.:35:35.

at the 100. The 200 she has not done her best time for quite a

:35:35.:35:40.

while, so I think it is time for her to move down and see what

:35:40.:35:47.

happens. If not, she can always change back to doing both. She is

:35:47.:35:51.

three seconds off her personal best, so maybe changing something might

:35:51.:35:56.

help in the future. It is not that she has papered incorrectly, it

:35:56.:36:03.

might be time to give herself a slimmer programme. What she will be

:36:03.:36:07.

looking at is the fact she knows the times she has done before would

:36:07.:36:11.

have qualified for the final and would have stood a chance for

:36:11.:36:15.

winning a medal. When you come to these championships and knowing

:36:15.:36:20.

when you are at your best, you can go for the podium. I disagree with

:36:20.:36:26.

Becky in I think she can do both races still. She is in a distance

:36:26.:36:30.

programmes in Swansea and she still has more of. The field is not

:36:30.:36:36.

getting any faster, so she can get back. You were pointing out that

:36:36.:36:41.

most of the women in these races are around that mid-20s age. The it

:36:41.:36:46.

is not a young event yet, it is about trying to change something. I

:36:46.:36:52.

do not know what she is doing in her training, her gymnastic work,

:36:52.:36:57.

or what she can change back. She can try something new. Maybe trying

:36:57.:37:02.

something different might help her. More British interest in the next

:37:02.:37:08.

race, the men's 200-metre individual medley. Roberto Pavoni

:37:08.:37:18.
:37:18.:37:18.

goes in this. This is his preferred event. In the second semi-final is

:37:18.:37:28.
:37:28.:37:53.

Ryan Lochte, the world champion and Going out very fast next to him is

:37:53.:37:58.

Conor Dwyer of the USA. Absolutely, and we know he has got a very good

:37:58.:38:08.
:38:08.:38:20.

freestyle. His last lane will be strong. -- his last legs. Roberto

:38:20.:38:24.

Pavoni is a decent breaststroke her, but he needs to be because the rest

:38:24.:38:34.
:38:34.:38:35.

of the field is getting away from him. Kosuke Hagino's style is

:38:35.:38:44.

beatable. Roberto Pavoni has got some work to do, but he can still

:38:44.:38:54.
:38:54.:38:55.

do it. Conor Dwyer is going to turn and have an impact on this field.

:38:55.:39:03.

He will have to do some work on his freestyle. Thiago Pereira is

:39:03.:39:11.

maximising the breaststroke again. It is good to see the Australian.

:39:11.:39:16.

The Aussies have had such a tough time of it recently and now they

:39:16.:39:25.

are throwing some swimmers back at it again. Meerkat Kosuke Hagino

:39:25.:39:31.

coming back in the black hat of Japan. Really powerful. He has

:39:31.:39:36.

declared he wants to win this medal. If he wants to be Ryan Lochte, he

:39:36.:39:46.

has got some work to do. Roberto Pavoni finished 7th. He will not

:39:46.:39:56.
:39:56.:40:00.

What does it take to get through to those finals? You have to produce a

:40:00.:40:07.

personal best. For me I am having to swim fast in the heats to

:40:07.:40:11.

qualify for the semi-finals. I am disappointed I did not improve on

:40:11.:40:18.

that tonight. Relatively good times, second and third best ever, so I

:40:18.:40:23.

cannot be too upset. I qualified for my first semi-final ever at

:40:23.:40:33.
:40:33.:40:47.

this level, so I am happy but is in lane three in the black hat

:40:47.:40:57.
:40:57.:40:57.

going pretty quickly in these first 50m. He looks good. Ryan Lochte has

:40:58.:41:07.
:41:08.:41:12.

got a good flight and a good back and a good freestyle. Laszlo Cseh

:41:12.:41:22.
:41:22.:41:25.

is in 4th. Laszlo Cseh has got the bald head. Alongside him is the

:41:25.:41:31.

black hat of Ryan Lochte. Laszlo Cseh turns first at the halfway

:41:31.:41:37.

mark. This is fairly comfortable for Ryan Lochte. He is not the

:41:37.:41:42.

greatest at breaststroke. Quite a few people could come back to him.

:41:42.:41:48.

Laszlo Cseh has got a good breaststroke. You have got Henrique

:41:49.:41:58.

Rodrigues as well. Ryan Lochte is working it very hard, clearly a

:41:58.:42:08.
:42:08.:42:12.

tactic. He destroyed them on that breaststroke. Look at the superb

:42:12.:42:17.

turn. His turning on the freestyle is stunning. This is really

:42:18.:42:27.

impressive. Laszlo Cseh is second and nobody else is in the picture.

:42:27.:42:31.

Maybe Markus Diebler in bed. He is switching off now and saving his

:42:31.:42:41.
:42:41.:43:01.

energy. He is a gold medal favour What a find we are going to have

:43:01.:43:07.

tomorrow night. Are we looking at another it duel? Visit Ryan Lochte

:43:07.:43:14.

and Kosuke Hagino. Absolutely, but I think Ryan Lochte has got it. His

:43:14.:43:17.

turning is exceptional. He took so much out of the field and then he

:43:17.:43:22.

eased off at the end to save his energy. I am expecting big things

:43:22.:43:27.

of him tomorrow. He was behind Michael Phelps last year and in

:43:27.:43:32.

London and this is his time. He has really enjoyed the celebrity. He

:43:32.:43:36.

had his own reality show on the States and there was a risky was

:43:36.:43:41.

going to take his eye off the ball. But he is looking good. I think he

:43:41.:43:46.

would have looked in the mirror and said, what is he going to do now?

:43:46.:43:52.

That is his event. He dominated in 2012 and beat Michael Phelps. He

:43:52.:43:59.

was hurting after coming 4th in the 200m freestyle. He wants to put

:43:59.:44:04.

that right. A lot of people will be looking at him and saying, the

:44:04.:44:08.

reality show and now you are not performing. Are you a celebrity or

:44:08.:44:14.

a swimmer? With those shoes, there is an element of showbiz right down

:44:14.:44:20.

to his feet. What are they all about? He has got a personality and

:44:20.:44:25.

it is nice to see it come through. He is a character and it is nice to

:44:25.:44:30.

see it and I am sure his team-mates loved it. It is not something I

:44:30.:44:37.

would have. We will leave it to him. It sounds like he is the favourite

:44:37.:44:42.

tomorrow night. This is the final event of the evening, the men's

:44:42.:44:48.

800m. This man is looking to complete a gruelling political

:44:48.:44:58.
:44:58.:45:16.

stock he won gold on Sunday. It is really looking forward to this one.

:45:16.:45:22.

Sun Yang of China, only a second faster squalor fire. This is going

:45:22.:45:30.

to be a cracker. World Championship final of the men's 800 metres

:45:30.:45:36.

freestyle final. Sun Yang with the white hat and the red flag of China

:45:36.:45:42.

in the centre. He has the most beautiful freestyle stroke. He is

:45:42.:45:50.

so efficient under water, it is incredible. 16 months of the pool.

:45:50.:46:00.
:46:00.:46:15.

record on this event. It is held by another Chinese man who won the

:46:15.:46:22.

World Championships in Rome. But it right on the world record pace.

:46:22.:46:29.

Could it go here? He will have to go a bit faster. It was a very fast

:46:29.:46:35.

world record, it was set in Rome at the last World Championships when

:46:35.:46:45.
:46:45.:46:49.

they were wearing a long body suits which have been banned and now.

:46:49.:46:53.

They were proven to give people an advantage. It is a tough Ward

:46:53.:47:02.

record to beat. I am surprised Oussama Mellouli is there. He is

:47:02.:47:11.

trying to push the pace early. Ryan Cochrane, very tough. Hardly

:47:11.:47:18.

kicking his feet. Just amazing. Greatest distance freestyler in

:47:18.:47:28.
:47:28.:47:35.

history. 200 metres down on this 800 metres world final. The 17-

:47:35.:47:45.
:47:45.:47:47.

year-old Australian is in second. Jordan Harrison's coach also

:47:47.:47:57.
:47:57.:48:01.

coached Sun Yang for a time. He was told to concentrate on the

:48:01.:48:05.

Australians for a while, rather than the Chinese! The Australian

:48:05.:48:12.

need some more men, the great nation that it is. They have had a

:48:12.:48:16.

lack of kids that have made it through to this level in the last

:48:16.:48:22.

few years. There is a decent swimmer at the moment, Jordan

:48:22.:48:27.

Harrison of Australia. Currently in third position, but still Sun Yang

:48:27.:48:32.

leading. I get the feeling he is playing with them at the moment. He

:48:32.:48:40.

does not look like he is all guns blazing at the moment. Sun Yang,

:48:40.:48:47.

leading ephedrine. Ryan Cochrane in second the cannon there. Connor

:48:47.:48:51.

Jaeger looks as though he may have moved into third position. This is

:48:51.:48:58.

not a world record for Sun Yang. He is not after the time, he is after

:48:58.:49:04.

the medal. This is his best way. Not yet a world record swim.

:49:04.:49:11.

are right, the way he does go about things. When he turns his legs on,

:49:11.:49:19.

they go quickly. Ryan Cochrane in second place. At the halfway mark.

:49:19.:49:28.

Sun Yang has led from the start. Ryan Cochrane has just made a move.

:49:28.:49:36.

Connor Jaeger, Kwok -- fastest qualifier after the heats. They are

:49:36.:49:42.

starting to make a move and Sun Yang. Also coming through his

:49:42.:49:47.

Mcbroom of the USA. Jordan harass and, this is much tighter than I

:49:47.:49:56.

thought it would be. Ryan Cochrane will be thinking, this is his best

:49:56.:50:05.

shot. Looking good. Cochrane has been a stalwart for the Canadians.

:50:05.:50:12.

He is still there delivering podium finishes. But it you are right, Sun

:50:12.:50:17.

Yang letting the field surround him. I think he is playing with them.

:50:17.:50:23.

Six lengths to go and Sun Yang of China looks comfortable. He is

:50:23.:50:32.

starting to pick up the pace a little bit. Coming with him at the

:50:32.:50:42.
:50:42.:50:43.

moment is Michael Mcbroom. Ryan Cochrane seems to have made his

:50:43.:50:53.

move and it has not worked. Yang doing well are now. Mickey is

:50:53.:51:00.

in great shape. Great technique. Starting to kick his legs a little

:51:00.:51:10.
:51:10.:51:10.

bit more. I think he has got them where he wants them. I hope. I am a

:51:10.:51:20.
:51:20.:51:22.

fan of his. Mcbroom is very well. 200 metres left. Sun Yang, I think,

:51:22.:51:32.
:51:32.:51:32.

playing with them. His fingers are slightly open. Such a long stroke.

:51:32.:51:41.

He pulls the water all the way back to his feet. Could Ryan Cochrane be

:51:41.:51:47.

out of the medals? Interesting, the two Americans are very well. They

:51:47.:51:57.
:51:57.:52:00.

are tracking Sun Yang. Cochrane has a decent sprint on him. Sun Yang

:52:01.:52:09.

starting to put a kick on. 100 metres to go, I don't think the

:52:09.:52:15.

others will live with him. Mcbroom is having a go four-star Sun Yang

:52:15.:52:21.

of China leading and has taken two metres out of the field in about

:52:21.:52:29.

the space of 20. That is Sun Yang. He looks a very good. He has just

:52:29.:52:39.

played with them. The silver, bronze and 4th is the tight.

:52:39.:52:45.

Yang is two body lengths ahead of the field. Looking left and right.

:52:45.:52:55.
:52:55.:52:58.

The saving a little bit. Here he goes. USA, USA, Canada. It looks

:52:58.:53:02.

like the gold medal and world Championship title will go to Sun

:53:02.:53:08.

Yang of China. Silver, bronze and forth, what a surprise. Mcbroom

:53:08.:53:18.
:53:18.:53:18.

might get the silver. Sun Yang wins it. An amazing swim. He played with

:53:18.:53:23.

them for 600 metres and then blew them away at the end. The bronze to

:53:23.:53:33.
:53:33.:53:52.

Ryan Cochrane of Canada for stun The Sun Yang's second gold medal of

:53:52.:53:56.

these championships. What a motion he was showing in the water and on

:53:56.:54:03.

the podium. It has been a huge year. A lot of training goes into it and

:54:03.:54:07.

it is lovely to see the emotion come out. You don't know what goes

:54:07.:54:11.

into training, a lot of time spent on your own with your head in the

:54:11.:54:18.

water. You were saying to me as well, how big the Chinese

:54:18.:54:23.

championships art which take place in a few weeks. To them, almost

:54:23.:54:28.

bigger than any other world level championships? They have four

:54:28.:54:31.

provinces in China and their funding is determined on how well

:54:31.:54:36.

they do in those championships. It is the lead-up to that

:54:36.:54:42.

championships. A lot of the guys here, you think why aren't they so

:54:42.:54:46.

well here, but in four weeks' time, they would set times ago would have

:54:46.:54:52.

won medals here. It is just the way the funding system is in China.

:54:52.:55:00.

Pushed by the American, Michael Mcbroom? He had a fantastic race,

:55:00.:55:06.

knocked four seconds off his best. Nice to see a new boy coming up and

:55:06.:55:11.

not predicted in a medal. Looking forward to the 1,500 as well.

:55:11.:55:16.

have won our first medal, Great Britain of these aquatic

:55:16.:55:21.

Championships. It is in the high diving. It was won by Gary Hunt. He

:55:21.:55:30.

took silver. That high diving is 27 metres. You have to enter the water

:55:31.:55:35.

feet first. It is too dangerous to go in head first from 27 metres. He

:55:35.:55:40.

went into those finals in 4th place, improving and getting close to the

:55:40.:55:45.

gold as well. You don't need me to tell you how

:55:45.:55:53.

close it was, what is your reaction to that final routine? Obviously,

:55:53.:55:58.

straight after the dive, I was disappointed. I had done it under

:55:58.:56:03.

pressure before, and today it wasn't there on the finish. It is

:56:03.:56:07.

very important to enter the water without a splash. I saw how close

:56:07.:56:11.

it was, so obviously I am disappointed not to be on the top

:56:11.:56:16.

of the podium. I did for could dives and Degas me onto the podium

:56:16.:56:21.

with a silver medal, so I am very happy. A silver medal is an

:56:21.:56:25.

incredible achievement, and the first time it has been here at a

:56:25.:56:28.

World Aquatics Championships. What do you think that medal could mean

:56:28.:56:38.

the Great Britain? I hope British diving and, people can see it is a

:56:38.:56:44.

serious sport. We can only progress if all get help. We have a good

:56:44.:56:49.

results today. Matthew did very well and he is only just starting.

:56:49.:56:55.

It is important we get help from were ever we can. I am glad I have

:56:55.:57:00.

got onto the podium to maybe help us in the right direction. It is

:57:00.:57:09.

not exactly where we thought we might get a first medal from, but

:57:09.:57:14.

Bravo Gary Hunt. We have driven past it will stop it is near the

:57:14.:57:21.

end arena, and it is fighting the Hyde? Do you fancy ads? Absolutely

:57:21.:57:28.

not. We did go on the ten-metre bought on the first day to film the

:57:28.:57:34.

opening Lynx. No one was very comfortable. Tomorrow we have two

:57:34.:57:40.

Brits, Lauren and Georgia Davies in the 50 metres backstroke? I am

:57:41.:57:44.

excited. It has been a better night for the Brits, and hopefully it

:57:44.:57:48.

will bring more tomorrow night. Hopefully in the next few days we

:57:48.:57:54.

will see a lot more Brits in action. We're hoping we may have Andrew

:57:54.:57:58.

Willis and Michael Jamieson as well? On the back of the Olympic

:57:58.:58:03.

Games, they have great results. We did not see what we wanted to see

:58:04.:58:06.

in the 100 metres, but this is their main event. The more people

:58:06.:58:11.

we get people in two finals it will help the younger members of the

:58:11.:58:16.

team to see they can make the finals. It will help and it has a

:58:16.:58:19.
