:04:48. > :04:49.defending her title, but it was the Ethiopian runner
:04:50. > :04:51.Almaz Ayana who shocked everyone on the track,
:04:52. > :04:53.winning gold and shattering the 10,000 metre world record.
:04:54. > :05:04.Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks reports.
:05:05. > :05:11.After missing London through injury, this was Bryony Page's games debut,
:05:12. > :05:16.not that you would know. With a focus that belied her Olympic
:05:17. > :05:20.inexperience, the 25-year-old bounced for Britain and struck the
:05:21. > :05:25.landing. When it became clear she had won a medal, her reaction was a
:05:26. > :05:30.mixture of disbelief and elation. A silver for Bryony Page and a first
:05:31. > :05:35.medal for a British woman in Olympic trampolining. I can't believe it.
:05:36. > :05:40.Just so happy! Just can't believe I've won an Olympic medal. Yeah,
:05:41. > :05:46.just... Speechless, can't believe it. Dressage requires a true
:05:47. > :05:51.connection between rider and animal, and this pair are more connected
:05:52. > :05:56.than most. Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro have been best of friends
:05:57. > :05:59.for a decade, and she has become the most successful British rider in the
:06:00. > :06:03.history of the sport in the process. But a couple of little mistakes
:06:04. > :06:09.meant Britain couldn't catch Germany to defend their Olympic title. A
:06:10. > :06:11.silver for the team, but the pair will aim to retain their Olympic
:06:12. > :06:19.title in the freestyle event on Monday. The poster girl for London
:06:20. > :06:23.is now the relaxed woman of Rio. The stress of a home Olympics seems a
:06:24. > :06:27.long way away for Jessica Ennis-Hill. She's got it! She threw
:06:28. > :06:33.down the gauntlet with a season's best in the second event. But it was
:06:34. > :06:36.compatriot Katarina Johnson-Thompson who took the overall lead after
:06:37. > :06:44.beating her own British high jump record. Yellow mac aggressively on
:06:45. > :06:48.the approach this time. So far, so good for both Britons as Ennis-Hill
:06:49. > :06:54.vies to become the first British woman in track and field history to
:06:55. > :06:57.retain an Olympic title. From one inspiration to another, Jo Pavey has
:06:58. > :07:04.become Britain's first track athlete to complete at five consecutive
:07:05. > :07:09.Olympics. She turns 43 next month. But the speed of the race didn't
:07:10. > :07:18.help her cause, and one woman was to blame. Ethiopia's are is a R A. It
:07:19. > :07:24.was clear it was going to be rapid. This is unprecedented. But it was so
:07:25. > :07:32.fast that her last 5000 metres was an Olympic five K record in its own
:07:33. > :07:36.right. This is incredible. Ayana is going to smash the world record, she
:07:37. > :07:39.will become the Olympic champion, one of the greatest pieces of
:07:40. > :07:43.distance running you will ever see. When she crossed the line, she
:07:44. > :07:51.didn't just break the world record, she obliterated it by 14 seconds.
:07:52. > :07:56.Sweden have won it. There has been a major upset in the women's football,
:07:57. > :08:01.four times Olympic champion is the USA are out, beaten by Sweden in a
:08:02. > :08:05.penalty shoot out. Fortunately, America have these two to keep the
:08:06. > :08:09.medal is ticking along, gymnast Simone Biles won her second of five
:08:10. > :08:13.potential goals last night, and Michael Phelps also won an
:08:14. > :08:17.unprecedented 22nd Olympic gold. Remarkably he has another chance of
:08:18. > :08:19.gold tonight in the 100 meter butterfly. Natalie Pirks, BBC News,
:08:20. > :08:21.Rio. In a little over half an hour,
:08:22. > :08:24.Sir Bradley Wiggins will be in action in the final of the men's
:08:25. > :08:27.team pursuit, gunning for a record eight Olympic medals
:08:28. > :08:29.including a fifth gold. And in the heats, Team GB have
:08:30. > :08:32.already broken the world record. So, what is the secret of Britain's
:08:33. > :08:34.enduring success in the velodrome? Here's our Sports Editor,
:08:35. > :08:39.Dan Roan. Whether on the road or the track,
:08:40. > :08:44.Sir Bradley Wiggins has spent his career rewriting the record books,
:08:45. > :08:46.but tonight could top the lot. Just one medal away
:08:47. > :08:48.from becoming the most decorated Olympian
:08:49. > :08:52.in British history. Earlier, his team qualifying
:08:53. > :08:56.for the final of Team Pursuit, beating New Zealand and setting
:08:57. > :08:58.a new world record in the process. COMMENTATOR: And
:08:59. > :09:00.they cross the line. So far it's been business as usual
:09:01. > :09:07.for Team GB here in Rio. Last night Philip Hindes,
:09:08. > :09:10.Callum Skinner and Jason Kenny, who now
:09:11. > :09:12.has four Olympic Golds third straight Team Sprint title
:09:13. > :09:18.and proving there is life after Sir The retired great here to watch
:09:19. > :09:24.as his former team-mates beat I said after London
:09:25. > :09:32.that I just wanted to I just want to win
:09:33. > :09:46.more gold medals now. Last night was a triumphant one for
:09:47. > :09:50.Britain's cyclists, the women's pursuit team breaking the world
:09:51. > :09:54.record in qualifying. It's a world-record marker from Great
:09:55. > :09:58.Britain. So what's the secret? The best funded of the country's Olympic
:09:59. > :10:03.sports, British cycling continues to invest much of the ?30 million it
:10:04. > :10:08.sees every four years in pursuit of marginal gains. We don't want our
:10:09. > :10:13.athletes on equipment that isn't the best. The success is more impressive
:10:14. > :10:16.given the recent departure of the team's former technical director
:10:17. > :10:20.Shane Sutton, the head coach forced to resign in April because of sexism
:10:21. > :10:24.and bullying allegations. Despite trouble at the top, one former
:10:25. > :10:28.Olympic champion said the medals would keep coming. I think we will
:10:29. > :10:33.outperform certainly my expectations of a couple of years ago. How many
:10:34. > :10:40.golds in the velodrome this time? I said a year ago that three would be
:10:41. > :10:44.good, four would be exceptional. That's what we were looking at. Now
:10:45. > :10:48.we are looking at between four and six. If everything went perfect, six
:10:49. > :10:52.would be outstanding. Another could come in the next few minutes as
:10:53. > :10:54.Bradley Wiggins attempts to ride into the history books. Dan Roan,
:10:55. > :10:58.BBC News, Rio. So this is what the latest
:10:59. > :11:01.medals table looks like. Great Britain has now risen
:11:02. > :11:03.to fourth with the But it's the United States
:11:04. > :11:06.who remain top with 16 Golds, followed by China with 12
:11:07. > :11:09.and Japan with seven. Let's go back to our sports
:11:10. > :11:19.editor, Dan Roan, in Rio. Week one is over of these games, how
:11:20. > :11:25.good has it been for Team GB? I think they will be delighted. 20
:11:26. > :11:29.medals, six golds, and they finished fourth on ten other occasions.
:11:30. > :11:35.Imagine if some of those had been converted to medals. That would have
:11:36. > :11:38.been a very special start indeed. Nonetheless, UK Sport, the
:11:39. > :11:42.organisation whose job it is to deliver Olympic success, a senior
:11:43. > :11:46.official told me privately that they are now predicting at least 52
:11:47. > :11:50.medals and 19 gold medals. That's what they believe this start will
:11:51. > :11:55.give them. If that comes to pass, that means their target, their
:11:56. > :11:58.ambition of a best ever away games, will be achieved. And one of those
:11:59. > :12:02.metals could come in the next few minutes, as we saw in that report,
:12:03. > :12:08.when Bradley Wiggins attempts to do in the velodrome behind me, what no
:12:09. > :12:12.other British Olympian has ever done and win an eighth Olympic medal. We
:12:13. > :12:16.will see if he can do it. Elsewhere at the end of the firstly, some

:19:52. > :19:52.A great survivor of the natural world.
:19:53. > :19:55.Hunted for its oil in the last century, the species somehow kept

:20:00. > :20:01.Now some, caught accidentally in fishing nets, were analysed
:20:02. > :20:06.One was about 400 years old, which researchers say makes finding

:20:20. > :20:24.that was an absolutely amazing experience.
:20:25. > :20:27.The oldest of the sharks analysed was born right back

:21:12. > :21:16.The task now is to track them with satellite tags, a grim process,
