:05:51. > :05:55.combined to mean that the local organising committee is effectively

:06:01. > :06:03.secured from the local mayor and from the federal government in the
:06:04. > :06:08.last 24 hours, there is this sense that the Paralympics is something of
:06:09. > :06:12.an underfunded afterthought now. They still insist this will be a
:06:13. > :06:16.fantastic Games in terms of sporting performance. It can still be a real
:06:17. > :06:20.game changer when it comes to inclusion and accessibility in South
:06:21. > :06:24.America, especially in terms of TV coverage, where there is due to be
:06:25. > :06:28.unprecedented levels of exposure in the United States. But many will be
:06:29. > :06:32.asking tonight how they can be a funding crisis given the billions of
:06:33. > :06:35.dollars that the international Olympic Mitty generates every cycle,
:06:36. > :06:39.from sponsorship and broadcasting revenue. Many will worry that that
:06:40. > :06:52.progress which we saw in Beijing and in London 2012 would now be undone
:06:53. > :06:56.to a certain extent. In the last few moments, Team GB's women's hockey
:06:57. > :07:02.team has won gold, beating the Netherlands in a penalty shoot-out.
:07:03. > :07:04.It comes after the show jumper Nick Skelton became Britain's
:07:05. > :07:06.second-oldest Olympic gold medallist, in his seventh Games.
:07:07. > :07:08.The 58-year-old, who initially retired 16 years ago

:07:11. > :07:12.claimed individual gold after a six-way jump-off.
:07:13. > :07:26.Yes, welcome to the hockey venue, where as you say, what drama we have
:07:27. > :07:30.seen in the last few minutes. Britain's women winning gold in a
:07:31. > :07:34.gripping penalty shoot-out. Earlier on, there had also been gold for
:07:35. > :07:41.Nick Skelton in the show-jumping on another memorable day for Team GB.
:07:42. > :07:48.He has had a hip replacement, knee surgery, once even a broken neck.
:07:49. > :07:53.Now he's the Olympic champion. COMMENTATOR: Here we go for gold,
:07:54. > :07:57.Nick Skelton, Great Britain... At 58, he was competing before most of
:07:58. > :08:04.his team-mates here were even born. In a six way jump-off for gold, he
:08:05. > :08:08.and his horse Big Star, who has also had injury problems, used every
:08:09. > :08:15.shred of their experience. A clear round. Could anyone match it? Well,
:08:16. > :08:21.under unbearable tension, the answer was no. With fat, Britain had its
:08:22. > :08:27.oldest Olympic champion for more than a century - proof that the best
:08:28. > :08:32.things really do come to those who wait. I'm speechless. The horse was
:08:33. > :08:36.amazing to date, and he's been really unlucky the last few days. I
:08:37. > :08:40.did it the other way around in London and it didn't pay off. So
:08:41. > :08:46.this has been done for him today and he really deserve it. Meanwhile, a
:08:47. > :08:51.mere 35 years younger, Jade Jones, known as the head hunter, and this
:08:52. > :08:58.is why... Those high-scoring head kicks propelled her to her second
:08:59. > :09:07.Olympic title. She celebrated with a dance. Others, with decibels. Back
:09:08. > :09:12.in her Welsh hometown, they could almost be heard in Rio. Another
:09:13. > :09:19.golden moment. And there could be more to come. Boxer Joe Joyce is
:09:20. > :09:29.through to his final. He proved that even super heavyweights can be light
:09:30. > :09:32.on their feet. At the hockey, though, hopes of history. Britain's
:09:33. > :09:42.women in their first Olympic final. Could it be a first gold? There was
:09:43. > :09:47.some drama, Netherlands penalty saved by Maddie Hinch. They then
:09:48. > :09:52.went ahead, fax to Lily Owsley. Could they hold onto the lead? Dutch
:09:53. > :09:56.hit back, the champions living up to their billing, with two pick five
:09:57. > :10:05.goals. Just before half-time, Britain responded, through Crista
:10:06. > :10:12.Cullen. It was breathless stuff and they could not be divided. So to a
:10:13. > :10:18.shoot out. In the British goal, Maddie Hinch was inspired. But it
:10:19. > :10:28.came down to Hollie Webb to fire Britain to gold. For Britain, the
:10:29. > :10:32.most glorious of outcomes. Yes, you sense the celebrations here are only
:10:33. > :10:38.just beginning. What an incredible night for the British fans here.
:10:39. > :10:42.This team had never reached an Olympic final before, and yet here
:10:43. > :10:43.they are, Olympic champions. A stunning performance on another
:10:44. > :10:48.quite stunning day for Team GB. Those medals have cemented Team
:10:49. > :10:50.GB's position They now have 24 golds,
:10:51. > :10:57.two ahead of China in third. Team GB is hoping to match
:10:58. > :11:00.the success of London 2012, The International Olympic committee
:11:01. > :11:04.is to open a disciplinary inquiry against the American swimmer
:11:05. > :11:07.Ryan Lochte and three colleagues,
