Another gold for Team GB as Charlotte Dujardin

:00:00.:00:00.

triumphs in the dressage, retaining her Olympic title.

:00:00.:00:11.

She passes with flying colours on her horse Valegro to become only

:00:12.:00:17.

the second British woman in history to win three Olympic golds.

:00:18.:00:23.

I mean, I've just gone out there and Valegra has given me

:00:24.:00:28.

I felt so emotional doing the last bit.

:00:29.:00:32.

We've just come out there and we've all had a cry!

:00:33.:00:37.

Team GB now has 16 golds after Andy Murray's hard-fought win

:00:38.:00:40.

rounded off an extraordinary weekend of success for British athletes.

:00:41.:00:43.

We'll be asking what's behind Team GB's continued success.

:00:44.:00:46.

The former Premier League footballer Dalian Atkinson has died

:00:47.:00:52.

after a taser was fired at him by police in Shropshire.

An extraordinary escape for a pilot who ditched in the sea

:01:00.:01:01.

How the British have developed quite a taste for sparkling wine.

:01:02.:01:11.

And coming up in Olympic Sportsday later in the hour on BBC News.

:01:12.:01:14.

An early British medal on the 10th day of competition,

:01:15.:01:16.

their first in the Hammer thanks to Sophie Hitchon.

:01:17.:01:43.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six.

:01:44.:01:46.

Britain's Charlotte Dujardin has won gold on her horse Valegro

:01:47.:01:48.

in the individual dressage, defending her Olympic title

:01:49.:01:50.

and making her only the second British woman in history to win

:01:51.:01:53.

Her win continues the extraordinary run of success for Team

:01:54.:01:57.

GB over the weekend, which saw Britain add five more

:01:58.:02:01.

And there could be more to come tonight, with cyclist

:02:02.:02:06.

Andy Swiss reports. It has been described as equestrian ballet and

:02:07.:02:22.

in Charlotte Dujardin it has one of its ultimate performers. Roger and

:02:23.:02:26.

horse in perfect harmony. The defending champion on Valegro and

:02:27.:02:31.

once again they produced an utterly spellbinding display. At the end the

:02:32.:02:38.

emotions overflowed. And the result was astonishing. They have been the

:02:39.:02:44.

stars of the sport worldwide now. And no one could catch her.

:02:45.:02:50.

Charlotte Dujardin once again Olympic dressage champion, another

:02:51.:02:55.

title, another unforgettable trial. In London I had no expectation, no

:02:56.:03:00.

pressure to go out there. Today I felt a huge amount of pressure and

:03:01.:03:06.

expectation. For me it could be one of the last rites on Valegro, there

:03:07.:03:10.

is talk of retirement for him and for me to finish in this way, it is

:03:11.:03:18.

really emotional. What a moment meanwhile in the women's hammer.

:03:19.:03:21.

Sophie Hitchon with Careberry final throw. That was enough for bronze.

:03:22.:03:29.

The first medal for the UK in the event thanks to that last gasp

:03:30.:03:34.

glory. Neither she nor anyone else could get near this. A world record

:03:35.:03:44.

from Anita Wlodarczyk of Poland. Earlier Team GB's sensational Sunday

:03:45.:03:50.

had been rounded off by Andy Murray. His four are win over Del Potro

:03:51.:03:56.

leaving both men physically and emotionally drained. Andy Murray

:03:57.:04:02.

proud on the podium, the first player to win back-to-back singles

:04:03.:04:08.

girls. I feel a lot of just relief. I'm just tired right now but

:04:09.:04:13.

obviously proud to help won another gold medal. But the star of the show

:04:14.:04:19.

was Max Whitlock, two gold medals in barely 90 minutes, the first ever in

:04:20.:04:24.

gymnastics for Britain. And today he told me that here in real the

:04:25.:04:30.

winning habit is proving contagious. A big believer that success breeds

:04:31.:04:34.

success, I feel it can go across all sports. People see this person with

:04:35.:04:40.

a gold medal from Team GB, it birds be blonde and makes them believe

:04:41.:04:44.

what is possible, it motivates and inspires them. How about following a

:04:45.:04:49.

medal with an engagement ring? Chinese diver receiving a very

:04:50.:04:54.

public marriage proposal from her team-mate. And to the delight of the

:04:55.:05:01.

crowd, she said yes. Two divers taking the plunge in a

:05:02.:05:10.

whole new way. Dare we say it, there could be more British success

:05:11.:05:15.

tonight here in the velodrome. Mark Cavendish has never won an Olympic

:05:16.:05:18.

medal but he is in third place going into the final stages of the men's

:05:19.:05:20.

omnium. Let's take a look at the medal table

:05:21.:05:35.

so far. After the success today, Team GB is in second place with 16

:05:36.:05:40.

goals, 16 silvers and eight bronze medals, taking the total tally to

:05:41.:05:50.

40. How is Rio shaping up compared to other games? At London 2012

:05:51.:05:55.

TeamGB had a total of 65 medal. Four years before that they had 47 in

:05:56.:06:04.

Beijing. 30 at Athens, 28 in Sydney and in Atlanta, they went home with

:06:05.:06:05.

just 15. So what is behind the big turnaround? Gold for

:06:06.:06:20.

Great Britain! Bow to his superiority. Records tumbling.

:06:21.:06:28.

History being made. These games have so far surpassed all expectations.

:06:29.:06:34.

But how has a small nation like the UK in alongside and even above

:06:35.:06:38.

giants like China? It is all thanks to money and one humiliating

:06:39.:06:43.

Olympics. In 1996 in Atlanta the UK won just one gold medal, 15 interval

:06:44.:06:48.

leading the nation in 30 Sixth Place in the medal table behind Algeria

:06:49.:06:53.

and Kazakhstan. The government then started diverting lottery funds

:06:54.:06:57.

directly into sport enabling athletes to train full-time. Those

:06:58.:07:02.

winning medals here in Brazil are directly reaping the rewards of your

:07:03.:07:05.

weekly flutter. The funding is everything. I do not get any extra

:07:06.:07:12.

money other than the lottery money. That is it and without that you're

:07:13.:07:17.

not windsurfing, not going to the Olympic Games, not doing any Olympic

:07:18.:07:23.

sport. How much cash has been spent since Atlanta? There was a ?69

:07:24.:07:27.

million investment for the Sydney games but by Athens, the investment

:07:28.:07:30.

have gone up. London won the right to host the Olympics and three years

:07:31.:07:36.

later in Beijing it was a huge increase in funding, to ?265

:07:37.:07:39.

million. For London it was up again and it paid off. The UK finishing

:07:40.:07:42.

third in the medals table at the home games. Here the total

:07:43.:08:09.

investment in both the Olympic and Paralympic teams is almost ?350

:08:10.:08:11.

million with the team on course for its best away games in history. UK

:08:12.:08:14.

Sport said the success is by design and not chance. We have enjoyed the

:08:15.:08:17.

privilege now of national lottery investment for 18 years and that has

:08:18.:08:19.

allowed UK Sport to focus funding in a targeted way and allow athletes to

:08:20.:08:22.

train full-time, an eight-year investment, not a four-year project,

:08:23.:08:24.

with the best world-class coaching, science, medicine support wrapped

:08:25.:08:25.

around them. Ultimately though UK Sport provides the foundation is, it

:08:26.:08:28.

is the athletes who must deliver the inspirational moments. So far up

:08:29.:08:31.

against TeamGB is spoiling a nation which no longer hopes, but expect.

:08:32.:08:48.

And Usain Bolt has proved again that he is the fastest man in the world.

:08:49.:08:52.

Usain Bolt has done it again, winning gold in the 100m

:08:53.:08:54.

The Jamaican also remains on course for the sprint treble,

:08:55.:08:58.

with two more gold medals for the 200m and the 4x100 metre

:08:59.:09:01.

It is a sprinting supremacy that began in Beijing and continued in

:09:02.:09:13.

London 2012. Now Usain Bolt has a third consecutive 100 metres Olympic

:09:14.:09:17.

title, three games, three gold medals, after delivering once again

:09:18.:09:21.

when it mattered most. Usain Bolt started slowly but the

:09:22.:09:27.

man cast as the saviour of track and Field soon surged ahead of his chief

:09:28.:09:32.

rival, American two times drugs cheat Justin Gatlin, long seen as

:09:33.:09:36.

the pantomime villain of the sport. Usain Bolt sprinted to a place where

:09:37.:09:40.

no one in Olympic history ever been before, affirming his status as a

:09:41.:09:45.

true legend of this, and all sport. I'm really happy, I expected to go

:09:46.:09:52.

faster but the time was so quick, we had to come back out. I'm just happy

:09:53.:09:55.

than I won it, that is the key thing. Among the abiding images,

:09:56.:10:00.

this remarkable photo from a semifinal, capturing the dominance

:10:01.:10:03.

and the charisma for which he is known. But could track and field

:10:04.:10:06.

have found a man to replace the biggest star in the sport?

:10:07.:10:13.

24-year-old South African Wayde Van Niekerk last night sensationally

:10:14.:10:16.

winning the 400 metre final and smashing the world record in the

:10:17.:10:20.

process. In a time of 43 point three seconds. Wayde Van Niekerk had

:10:21.:10:27.

pulled off one of the most spectacular pieces of running the

:10:28.:10:31.

sport had ever seen, surpassing the previous 400 metres world record of

:10:32.:10:36.

43.18 seconds, the legendary Michael Johnson had set 17 years ago and

:10:37.:10:39.

which many thought would not be beaten. Today he reflected on just

:10:40.:10:45.

how special last night had been. It is about doing things that are

:10:46.:10:49.

electric on the track, more than just being a world record holder or

:10:50.:10:54.

Olympic champion, is doing something special that no one has done before.

:10:55.:10:58.

No one was more thrilled here last night and his coach. 74-year-old

:10:59.:11:06.

great-grandmother who has been working with him for the past three

:11:07.:11:08.

years. Even Usain Bolt seemed struck by what he had seen, interrupting

:11:09.:11:13.

his celebrations to congratulate the new world record holder. To living

:11:14.:11:16.

champions delivering the defining moments that these games crave.

:11:17.:11:31.

These games still have their problems? It is something of a game

:11:32.:11:39.

of two halves developing. In the venues around the Olympic Park,

:11:40.:11:42.

those iconic and inspirational sporting moments are definitely

:11:43.:11:46.

being delivered. And of course the organisers were desperate for those

:11:47.:11:51.

given the build-up was overshadowed by doping related controversy. So

:11:52.:11:54.

last night those fantastic performances from Usain Bolt and

:11:55.:11:58.

Wayde Van Niekerk, people are talking of the prospect of a 300

:11:59.:12:01.

metre race between them next season to decide the greatest sprinter in

:12:02.:12:06.

the world. That is what track and field needed more interest, more

:12:07.:12:11.

intrigue in the sport, given the difficulties it faced. Elsewhere

:12:12.:12:17.

TeamGB and their continued success, Michael Phelps, Simona Biles, they

:12:18.:12:22.

all gave the game is some stardust. But today crisis talks between

:12:23.:12:25.

International Paralympic Committee chiefs and the federal government

:12:26.:12:28.

over a funding crisis which could mean 50 countries cannot afford to

:12:29.:12:32.

send athletes to the Paralympic Games. A reminder that there event

only ones that were there scrambled towards him and started kicking him

:14:17.:14:22.

around the body. And shouting. They were shouting and kicking so much,

going around in your head? Because the damage done, you've got to try

to develop preventative measures through this, as soon as they deploy

a taser you have got to deploy an ambulance. Police tasers were first

:15:13.:15:16.

introduced in 2003 as an alternative to the use of lethal force. Since

:15:17.:15:21.

then it has been found that their use played a significant or material

part in the deaths of two men. The Independent Police Complaints

:15:28.:15:30.

Commission says it is currently investigating for cases where a

:15:31.:15:34.

taser was used prior to death. What happened here will also be

:15:35.:15:39.

investigated by the police watchdog after the case was voluntarily

:15:40.:15:43.

referred by the West Messier force. It will be for an inquest to decide

:15:44.:15:47.

whether the taser played a significant part in the former

:15:48.:15:53.

footballer's death. Tonight Dalian Atkinson's former team-mate at Aston

:15:54.:15:57.

Villa paid him this tribute. He was larger than life, one of the big

:15:58.:16:01.

characters of the club when I was there. I got to the club and he was

:16:02.:16:07.

the one who stuck out first because he was a big personality. Always had

:16:08.:16:12.

a lot to say but was a very funny guy. Many questions are being asked

:16:13.:16:16.

about what happened last night. It will be many months before those

:16:17.:16:18.

questions are answered. Another gold for Team GB

has almost doubled. A lot of the fizz is imported

:22:26.:22:28.

from France, Spain and Italy, but more and more of it is now

being made at home. Our correspondent Frankie

English sparkling wine have increased dramatically over the last

alone 37 new vineyards and wine producers opened. Tell us, why do

:23:12.:23:19.

you think we have seen this increase? Is it because of the taste

:23:20.:23:25.

because it is more available? The taste is fantastic, the quality has

always been paramount in English wine production. Year on year

English wine producers are producing sparkling wine that is winning

:23:48.:23:52.

They are going to be harvested in October. Like we hear there, the

:23:53.:24:01.

wine is not going to be ready just yet, so we will have to wait for

this wine for just a few moments. The team is only seven strong

and they have yet to win a medal, but Olympic officials have told

the BBC that the much-celebrated international refugee

before we go to bed, so sometimes it's hard

to concentrate on swimming. But in this situation

they were chanting my name. The idea of a refugee

into the morning across rural Scotland, northern England and

:27:11.:27:18.

Wales. It is only a brief chill. As soon as the sun gets up,

temperatures are on the rise again. Another day of clear blue skies.

Subtle changes, a breeze of the East can towards eastern England. A bit
