:01:30. > :01:34.Good evening. It's been one of the most eagerly anticipated races of
:01:34. > :01:38.the entire Olympic Games. Usain Bolt has not disappointed in the
:01:38. > :01:44.men's 100 metres. He powered to gold n a race that featured the
:01:44. > :01:49.four fastest men in the world. He had not been the quickest qualifier,
:01:49. > :01:56.but he saved the best till last to thrill the crowds in the Olympic
:01:56. > :01:59.Stadium behind me. The grand setting for the 10-second
:01:59. > :02:05.drama. Its prologue came two hours before with the semi-finals. The
:02:05. > :02:10.winner of the first, a former Olympic champion, banned twice for
:02:10. > :02:16.drugs, Justin Gatlin and a cool 9.82. Should you miss the point
:02:16. > :02:22.these are the alpha males of athletics! Usain Bolt has not been
:02:22. > :02:28.on top form recently. Well this might silence the doubters. He all
:02:28. > :02:36.but yawned as he came over the line in 9.87. Right now Bolt is not even
:02:36. > :02:43.jam ma ka's number one runner - this man is, Yohan Blake, nicknamed
:02:43. > :02:53."the beast." So, tense, nervous? We might have
:02:53. > :02:58.been. One man wasn't. THE COMMENTATOR: Bolt not out quickly.
:02:58. > :03:06.Bolt getting alongside Gatlin. He's pulling away. He's going to win the
:03:06. > :03:10.gold. 9.64. The champion becomes a legend!
:03:10. > :03:13.More remarkable still, Bolt started with all the nimbleness of a
:03:13. > :03:18.wardrobe. Once that big frame started striding, nothing could
:03:18. > :03:23.catch him. So, I think I sat in the blocks a
:03:23. > :03:27.little bit. I don't think it's the best reaction in the world. That
:03:27. > :03:32.was the key - remember my coach said, stop worrying about the start,
:03:32. > :03:37.the best part of the race is at the end. That is where you rule. So, I
:03:37. > :03:40.stopped worrying about the start and I executed. It worked. Last
:03:40. > :03:46.night this stadium held Britain agog. Tonight, this man left the
:03:47. > :03:51.world in wonder. Our sports editor is in the Olympic
:03:51. > :03:55.Stadium. David, it was quite a race. Do you think it lived up to its
:03:55. > :04:05.billing? It was billed as "the greatest race possibly in history."
:04:05. > :04:07.
:04:08. > :04:13.It must be up there. Seven of the eight finalists managing to run.
:04:13. > :04:18.Usain Bolt had to dig really, really deep to beat Yohan Blake. It
:04:18. > :04:23.is worth remembering that coming into this race Usain Bolt said he
:04:24. > :04:28.was only 95% fit. There was just an air of vulnerability of him. He was
:04:28. > :04:36.talking about his injuries. One wonders now if that was all
:04:36. > :04:43.kidology. No other runner has managed to defend his 100 metres
:04:43. > :04:49.title apart from Carl Lewis in 1994 and 1998. This is the second
:04:49. > :04:56.fastest time in Olympic history. Of course this is the only person who
:04:56. > :04:59.Bolt. He has delivered tonight. Of course, he's sop important to this
:04:59. > :05:05.sport of track and field -- so important to this sport of track
:05:05. > :05:09.and field. I think he has become a legend tonight. Thank you. Andy
:05:09. > :05:17.Murray has won his first Olympic gold medal, beating Roger Federer
:05:17. > :05:20.in straight sets. History um of comes a month after defeat at the
:05:20. > :05:27.hands of Federer at Wimbledon. Today Murray said today's win was
:05:27. > :05:31.the biggest of his life. So, what did this mean to Andy
:05:31. > :05:38.Murray? Redemption, to re-visit the scene of his most heart-defeating
:05:38. > :05:42.event, to take on the man who laid him so low four weeks ago? Andy
:05:42. > :05:47.Murray excelled. It's not just the kit that's changed.
:05:47. > :05:52.Since he lost that Wimbledon final, maybe he has lost his inhibitions
:05:52. > :05:58.too. First set to Murray, six sets to two.
:05:58. > :06:02.So, the first set won in impressive style. I think everyone here
:06:02. > :06:05.realises this is now or never. Grand Slams will come and go. Andy
:06:05. > :06:10.Murray will never again have the chance to win the Olympics here on
:06:10. > :06:18.Centre Court. Second set, Federer threw himself
:06:18. > :06:23.into it. Still Murray was better. 6-1. Now it was his match. His gold
:06:23. > :06:28.medal to lose. Well, really not a hint of a mistake in the third set.
:06:28. > :06:34.6-4. Victory in straight sets. Simple.
:06:34. > :06:39.It's a golden triumph of for Andy Murray. Andy Murray went directly
:06:39. > :06:45.to those who support him through thick and thin. He said his
:06:45. > :06:53.inspiration came from watching Mo Farah. He was caught up in Olympic
:06:53. > :06:58.momentum. The biggest win of my life. This week's been incredible
:06:58. > :07:03.so far. The support's been amazing. He was not finished. There was one
:07:03. > :07:11.more job to do. Mixed doubles final with Laura Robson. They took the
:07:11. > :07:14.first set, but eventually lost. Still a silver few had foreseen.
:07:14. > :07:19.Now Olympic champions have fresh demands on their time. Centre Court
:07:19. > :07:28.has enjoyed seeing Andy Murray's sensitive side this summer. Now,
:07:28. > :07:33.that young man can say he's met a true winner.
:07:33. > :07:38.Ben Ainslie has become the most successful sailor in the history of
:07:38. > :07:43.the Games. He came first in the Finn class in Weymouth.
:07:43. > :07:47.The biggest race of his life, with his status as a sailing legend
:07:47. > :07:52.already assured. Now it was time to apply some gloss and become the
:07:52. > :07:56.most decorated Olympian in the sport's history. The Danish leader,
:07:56. > :08:02.Jonas Hogh-Christensen, stood in his way. Ainslie was ready to
:08:02. > :08:05.launch his bid for glory. Before the Finn class contest began, Team
:08:05. > :08:10.GB had other medal prospects, Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson were
:08:10. > :08:14.expected to defend their title. The favourites could only get silver
:08:14. > :08:20.after luedsing out to Sweden. The British pair in the star class
:08:20. > :08:25.could not manage gold, now it is time for Ben Ainslie. Can he
:08:25. > :08:35.deliver? With thousands of supporters crammed on to the
:08:35. > :08:38.peninsula Ainslie knew he had to finish ahead of Jonas Hogh-
:08:39. > :08:43.Christensen. While the pair tussled at the back of the fleet, the only
:08:43. > :08:49.other contender claimed to second and on course for gold. Ainslie was
:08:49. > :08:54.sailing close to the wind. It could not be more tense. At the last turn
:08:54. > :08:58.came the final twist. The Dutchman slipped back and Ainslie took his
:08:58. > :09:03.chance. The crowds are about to cheer now because Ben Ainslie wins
:09:03. > :09:07.his fourth Olympic gold. He is the greatest sailing Olympian in the
:09:07. > :09:11.history of the Games. Having beaten the distraught Jonas Hogh-
:09:11. > :09:14.Christensen that was good enough for the latest and probably the
:09:15. > :09:19.last gold medal of an astonishing career. I will be very surprised if
:09:19. > :09:22.you see me in Rio. This is the best way to leave on top. At home
:09:22. > :09:26.Olympics you never get any better than that. British sailing has
:09:26. > :09:31.never seen anything like this before. Ainslie's historic
:09:31. > :09:35.achievement, ensuring he takes his place among those rarest of
:09:35. > :09:41.Olympians who transcend the sport that mastered.
:09:41. > :09:51.So, where does today's sporting action leave the medal table? Team
:09:51. > :09:51.
:09:51. > :09:55.GB remain in third place, with 16 Now, the rest of the news.
