:03:06. > :03:11.is Javier Gomez. He may be down in 7th place, but he took silver in

:03:59. > :04:03.this season, making the podium in every one of her races since March
:04:03. > :04:07.including the Olympics. When it comes to sprint triathlon, Jonathan
:04:07. > :04:12.Brownlee has dominated over the past two years. With Alistair
:04:12. > :04:18.Brownlee missing from the start line, the younger Brownlee brother
:04:18. > :04:22.is free to race using his own tactics. And he hopes to get

:05:02. > :05:08.know now and hopefully I will never make that mistake again. Now he
:05:08. > :05:16.will have to watch. I was not sure how I would respond but I told
:05:16. > :05:21.myself that it would hurt when I started. It took forever. But I do
:05:21. > :05:27.not think it changed the race. do not think you would have caught
:05:27. > :05:30.up with Javier Gomez without the penalty? I doubt it. It would have
:05:30. > :05:37.been close but I do not think it would have changed it because it
:05:37. > :05:41.was the best race he has ever run. After 4th in Beijing, how much to
:05:41. > :05:46.do so they mean to you? When you are the favourite for a race like
:05:47. > :05:52.Beijing and you are struggling with injuries, you do not feel good the
:05:52. > :06:01.end of the race -- the day of the race, it is disappointing. This
:06:01. > :06:07.time, I had a really good performance, my best race ever,
:06:07. > :06:11.probably. I am really happy with the result. It was a massive
:06:11. > :06:16.whirlwind after we finished. We did lots of exciting things. I have not
:06:16. > :06:20.had time to sit down at home and take it all in. It has gone very
:06:20. > :06:25.quickly. It is strange to be back here racing again. After the
:06:25. > :06:29.Olympics, we built up so much to that one day. The Olympics was the
:06:29. > :06:34.major gold. This has helped me in a way because it means I have got
:06:34. > :06:39.something else. If I did not have the Stockholm race and Auckland, I
:06:39. > :06:43.am sure I would have come back after the Olympics and been more
:06:43. > :06:48.disappointed. It is good for me to be racing here. Alistair Brownlee
:06:48. > :06:58.cannot defend his world title this year. Do you think you are the man
:06:58. > :06:59.
:07:00. > :07:05.to take it off him? Right now, Jonathan Brownlee is racing. I will
:07:05. > :07:08.try to forget that title. It is not easy. I have to beat Jonathan
:07:08. > :07:14.Brownlee in the three races and that is pretty complicated faster
:07:14. > :07:16.we have to go out there and see what happens. I want to win the
:07:16. > :07:21.World Championship Series as a whole. To become world champion
:07:21. > :07:25.would be amazing. To become world champion and to get bronze in the
:07:25. > :07:31.Olympics would be incredible. I am looking forward to racing. The
:07:31. > :07:35.sprint race is great format. It is fun and exciting. It is going to be
:07:35. > :07:40.good to see how people respond after the Olympics. Do you think
:07:40. > :07:47.you can get revenge after Javier Gomez here? I like to think I can
:07:47. > :07:53.get close to him. He surprise me in London. After Kitzbuhel, I thought
:07:53. > :08:00.a decent run from the would beat him in the Olympics. I had to have
:08:00. > :08:05.the best race I'd have ever done and I was still beaten by Javier
:08:05. > :08:10.Gomez. If you write him off, he always comes back stronger. Your
:08:10. > :08:15.brother cannot defend his title, but you do seem not relax when he
:08:15. > :08:22.is not around? I quite like having pressure on make. When Alistair
:08:22. > :08:26.Brownlee is around, he takes the pressure off a stuck I like going

:08:37. > :08:41.When I am on my rent, I can respond to things better and decide my
:08:41. > :08:49.tactics -- on my own. It was quite a battle for spots on the Olympic
:08:49. > :08:54.team. It was a bitter 10 to swallow for Tim Don and William Clarke.
:08:54. > :08:59.Since then, they have refocused and are trying to end the season with a
:08:59. > :09:03.flourish -- a bitter pill. Last time we saw you was in Madrid
:09:03. > :09:08.in May and you had dropped out of the race. It looked like you knew
:09:09. > :09:18.that the 20 top Olympic dream was over. It was a tough race. When the
:09:19. > :09:19.
:09:19. > :09:23.race came down to it, every British athlete except for me and... I knew
:09:23. > :09:27.they would not so let me as a domestique. It was the end of a
:09:27. > :09:32.four year journey and all of the emotions came out then and I
:09:32. > :09:38.thought, why am I doing this? were going for the third spot. What
:09:38. > :09:47.did you make of Stuart Hayes's performance? Knifing he did his job
:09:47. > :09:53.fine. I guess he created a safety blanket for them but I do not think
:09:53. > :09:59.they needed it. What they did was amazing. I was cheering for them
:09:59. > :10:05.like mad. I think if you are some, it did you only when because of the
:10:05. > :10:14.domestique, I think they would say no. When the team was revealed, you
:10:14. > :10:18.were not very happy. Has time healed the wounds? I have had a
:10:18. > :10:24.month of moping around and then a month of getting over it. I have
:10:24. > :10:34.crack on with my training. How did you regroup? I have not figured it
:10:34. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:39.out yet. I want to finish this season, the grand final in Auckland.
:10:40. > :10:43.I am not sure exactly what I will be doing next year but this year it
:10:43. > :10:49.I am really looking forward to it. This race will not be my finest
:10:49. > :10:53.hour but I am slowly getting back into some sort of shape. Have you
:10:53. > :10:58.set yourself an individual goal for the World series? I am hoping to
:10:58. > :11:01.see how it progresses. I would like to have a decent race here because
:11:01. > :11:05.I have realised that all of these guys have been to the Olympics and
:11:05. > :11:10.they are pretty tired and have probably been partying all week. It
:11:10. > :11:13.is time for me to jump in and try to steal some good results. It is
:11:13. > :11:23.time to find out if any of the men are suffering from the much talked
:11:23. > :11:25.
:11:25. > :11:30.about their Olympic hang over. COMMENTATOR: what a stunning venue
:11:30. > :11:35.for the latest round of the ITU World Triathlon. Lots of the main
:11:35. > :11:43.Olympic players are here. We have done a Ben Brown mate along with a
:11:43. > :11:53.host of other -- we have Jonathan Brownlee. Along with a host of
:11:53. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :11:58.other Olympic athletes. This is the course. We begin in the water for a
:11:58. > :12:08.758m swim. They come into transition up a steep cobbled
:12:08. > :12:09.
:12:09. > :12:17.street -- 750m. They go past the Swedish parliament building, along
:12:17. > :12:27.various bridges. They complete that five times. The run is just five
:12:27. > :12:37.
:12:37. > :12:42.kilometres for the sprint. 10 triathlon in Stockholm. They are
:12:42. > :12:52.making their way out onto the blue carpet on the pontoon. They will
:12:52. > :13:22.
:13:22. > :13:27.dive into the river in front of the David McNamee and Adam Bowden. They
:13:27. > :13:37.are lined up, ready to get into the water. Wetsuits are compulsory
:13:37. > :13:40.
:13:40. > :13:45.today, it is cold. A dive start into the river in front of the
:13:45. > :13:51.palace. The other British contender today, Ritchie Nicholls, he wears
:13:51. > :14:00.No. 57. What a sight that is from the helicopter. High above the
:14:00. > :14:03.royal palace. It is time to say good afternoon. Hello. Absolutely
:14:03. > :14:07.fabulous year. So interesting when you get the first race after the
:14:07. > :14:15.Olympics because to a large extent it is a question of what will
:14:15. > :14:21.happen to the old order? Will they carry on or is bear an opportunity?
:14:21. > :14:31.There are great young Brits here today. They are coming through.
:14:31. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:36.Then we have got William Clarke. He was world junior champion not long
:14:37. > :14:41.ago. I remember Tim Don as a 16- year-old thinking about a career in
:14:41. > :14:46.triathlon. It is a mixture of old and new. It will be absolutely
:14:46. > :14:49.fascinating. I would say that today especially this one will be
:14:49. > :14:54.absolutely crucial. You talked about the tough climb into
:14:54. > :14:58.transition, the cobbles. If there is a group going away on that, it
:14:58. > :15:03.will be so vital because it is tight as you come past transition,
:15:03. > :15:13.down a steep slope, back onto the main road. Lots of turns on the
:15:13. > :15:23.
:15:23. > :15:29.bike. An early start, good position, Richard Varga. He is pushing the
:15:29. > :15:34.pace at the front. He is beginning to move away, this is exactly what
:15:34. > :15:40.we saw in the Serpentine when the water was calm. He led the way and
:15:40. > :15:44.the others were forced to chase. He may fancy his chances. There are
:15:44. > :15:50.coming up to these inflatable yellow buoys which have been dried
:15:50. > :15:56.out by a local fishing boat and put in place. This is about one-third
:15:56. > :16:05.of the way through, and lots of jostling for positions. Arms flying,
:16:05. > :16:13.one or two getting the wind knocked out of their sales. Richard Varga
:16:13. > :16:19.has got clean water in front of him, the Slovakian. About 150 metres
:16:19. > :16:24.left to swim in the first stage of this branch triathlon. He is
:16:24. > :16:29.beginning to really stretch out. Coming away from those big yellow
:16:29. > :16:33.turning boys. Some of those swimmers out there are going to be
:16:33. > :16:43.struggling to stay with the earlier fast pace of rich have Varga.
:16:43. > :16:53.seems to have really put himself on the line today. They will come
:16:53. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :17:00.around that final yellow buoy. That represents the exit point of the
:17:00. > :17:04.first stage of this triathlon. It will take them into transition of
:17:04. > :17:12.where they will take off their wet suits, dump all their gear and
:17:12. > :17:22.Pickup their bikes. Richard Varga, first out of the water. He starts
:17:22. > :17:31.to get the wet suit off as he heads towards transition. Keep our eyes
:17:31. > :17:36.open for Jonathan Brownlee. Fabien of Italy is through. -- Alessandro
:17:36. > :17:46.Fabian. Jonathan Brownlee Exits the water in eighth place. Marco van
:17:46. > :17:51.der Stel comes out in 12. Drew Box has exited. Keep an eye out for the
:17:51. > :18:00.rest of the Union flags as they come through. The next best British
:18:00. > :18:04.contestant is Andrew Bowden. It is great to see Andrew Bowden out
:18:04. > :18:10.there. That is an indication that his swimming has improved for
:18:10. > :18:14.stocks David McNamee, just 25 seconds down. We were talking about
:18:14. > :18:21.perhaps a split to there, but it seems hard work will be necessary
:18:21. > :18:25.on the first lap of all the bikes. Will Clarke up there as well.
:18:25. > :18:32.Jonathan Brownlee, looking up, sees a couple of the athletes going
:18:32. > :18:36.through. He has picked up positions there. Jonathan Brownlee will be
:18:36. > :18:42.careful, he will make sure that bike goes over the mine to line and
:18:42. > :18:47.he will not incur any penalties today. We never saw the video
:18:47. > :18:54.evidence, but during the Olympics he apparently got on his bike too
:18:54. > :19:00.early and incurred that 15 second penalty. He remarkably hung on to
:19:00. > :19:04.take the bronze medal. His older brother took the gold. The feet are
:19:04. > :19:10.going into the pedals. The others are behind scrapping for positions
:19:10. > :19:18.here. That is the front group with Richard Varga who was first out of
:19:18. > :19:22.the water. Jonathan Brownlee is currently jostling for a third and
:19:22. > :19:28.fourth and there. It makes no difference, their positions at this
:19:28. > :19:34.stage. But a group of ten has formed. In close proximity is a
:19:34. > :19:38.second group of about six. We will see if those groups morph into one.
:19:38. > :19:45.Jonathan Brownlee takes his place at the front of the first bike

:21:20. > :21:25.This man at the front, every time we catch sight Jonathan Brownlee is
:21:25. > :21:35.at the front doing all the hard work. His Alexander Bryukhankov

:21:38. > :21:43.back with the group? It seems that he is. There he is, easing off the
:21:43. > :21:48.back of the leading group. We're coming to this full turn around, so
:21:48. > :21:53.I guess his position at the back, he will be aware of what the others
:21:53. > :22:03.are doing. He seemed to be throwing stuff away, I am sure there was
:22:03. > :22:08.some form of technical difficulty for Alexander Bryukhankov there.

:22:22. > :22:27.Gomez, and two of the other's David Hauss and the... They expected to
:22:27. > :22:32.be in the leading group. Three of the athletes we thought would be
:22:32. > :22:38.strong players have put themselves at a huge disadvantage, even before
:22:38. > :22:42.the run starts. The time is alternating between showing 39
:22:42. > :22:50.seconds and 24 seconds. We will assume it is somewhere between

:23:16. > :23:20.complete a lap four. Jonathan Brownlee leads them through. This
:23:20. > :23:25.race is his for the winning. Looking at the rest of the
:23:25. > :23:31.triathletes who were with him in that lead group it is difficult to

:23:52. > :23:59.point in the race. So far, so good. How do you anticipate the rest of
:23:59. > :24:09.the race going? There are some good runners in the fund group, it is

:24:34. > :24:39.behind Jonathan Brownlee as they complete the final lap on the bike.
:24:39. > :24:47.We saw that gap of around 22 seconds come down very swiftly to
:24:47. > :24:53.15 seconds. Just doing my own calculations, that is around eight
:24:53. > :24:59.seconds. We are not far off the transition area. Javier Gomez has
:24:59. > :25:05.pushed the lead back. Up on to the carpeted cobbles. Jonathan Brownlee
:25:05. > :25:10.on the right. Alessandro Fabian of Italy, currently third. Now there

:27:01. > :27:08.distance. And the runners are just at the bottom of your screen.
:27:08. > :27:13.Closed roads, and two out in front. Jonathan Brownlee of Great Britain
:27:13. > :27:17.alongside Alexander Bryukhankov of Russia. He knows he has to be close
:27:17. > :27:24.to Jonathan Brownlee to maintain his lead in the world triathlon
:27:24. > :27:28.series standing for 2012. A great performance by the Russians.
:27:28. > :27:33.Jonathan Brownlee deliberately went out fast, the Russian has had the
:27:33. > :27:40.guts to go along with him, knowing how much it is going to hurt in lap
:27:40. > :27:43.number two. Something has happened! Something has happened with
:27:43. > :27:49.Alexander bricking Gough. Jonathan Brownlee has gone the
:27:49. > :27:57.wrong way! One of them has gone the wrong way. Jonathan is being sent
:27:57. > :28:03.back on the correct path. Alexander Bryukhankov has been on the right
:28:03. > :28:10.turn. Well Jonathon be penalised? Or will it be seen as an error of
:28:10. > :28:15.direction from the organisers? We will have another look at this.
:28:15. > :28:20.Jonathan Brownlee is following this cycle list, who himself made a
:28:20. > :28:25.mistake and has to put his bike on to the kerb and across to the other
:28:25. > :28:31.side of the road. You cannot attribute blame to Jonathan
:28:31. > :28:35.Brownlee there. I have to question the wisdom of Alexander Bryukhankov
:28:35. > :28:41.were turning when their men to follow the lead cyclist.
:28:41. > :28:47.Olympic Games was a 15 second penalty. What happens now? What he
:28:47. > :28:52.led the wrong way? Yes, he was led the wrong way. I have this memory
:28:52. > :28:58.it is the athletes responsibility to know the course. But surely you
:28:58. > :29:03.follow the lead cyclist? It would be harsh in the extreme to punish
:29:03. > :29:08.Jonathan Brownlee with another stop, go penalty for having followed the
:29:08. > :29:14.lead cyclists whose job it is to plot the course around Stockholm.
:29:14. > :29:20.They are into transition in the end of the first lap with one lap to go.
:29:20. > :29:25.Here is the bell. 2.5 kilometres to end this sprint distance. Javier
:29:25. > :29:30.Gomez, having forced his way up through the field, is gritting his
:29:30. > :29:35.teeth as he climbs the cobbles in Stockholm. Back into second
:29:35. > :29:39.position where he finished the Olympic Games. Alexander
:29:39. > :29:45.Bryukhankov who stopped and turned and pick the correct course, is now
:29:45. > :29:51.dropping down to fourth. There are plenty of others with eyes on the
:29:51. > :30:01.podium in Stockholm. Richard Varga is struggling on the run. It is
:30:01. > :30:09.
:30:10. > :30:15.moment, the gap between Jonathan Brownlee and the second placed
:30:15. > :30:22.triathlete Javier Gomez of Spain. Nine seconds and closing. Javier
:30:22. > :30:29.Gomez does have Jonny Brownlee in his sights. Jonny Brownlee went out
:30:29. > :30:33.so, so quickly. Is he going to pay the price? Jonny Brownlee is
:30:33. > :30:39.holding off at the moment as the Spaniard tries to close the gap. It
:30:39. > :30:44.is a big ask. On the final stages of the second lap. Has Javier Gomez
:30:44. > :30:54.got anything left? Can he inject any more pace into the final, tear
:30:54. > :31:00.
:31:00. > :31:06.and close the -- into the final, To and closed the gap? He must deal
:31:06. > :31:10.the race is more secure. Javier Gomez had to settle for the silver
:31:11. > :31:16.with Alistair Brownlee winning the Olympic race. He looks as if he
:31:16. > :31:22.might be beaten by his younger brother today. It is six seconds
:31:22. > :31:28.and he has got it out and back now. He will see Javier Gomez and know
:31:28. > :31:32.the distance. He will have an exact idea of what he has to do. He was
:31:32. > :31:37.able to slingshot out of the turn and kick away towards the royal
:31:37. > :31:46.palace for the final time. Javier Gomez has for two minutes to close
:31:46. > :31:53.the six second gap and that is a big ask. Alexander Broken Path is
:31:54. > :31:59.clicking on to third position -- Alexander Bryukhankov is holding on
:31:59. > :32:06.to third position. It will be a sprint to decide who joins Jonny
:32:06. > :32:10.Brownlee and Javier Gomez on the podium. The gap is growing. The
:32:10. > :32:17.last 200 and metres or so, it seems as though Jonny Brownlee has moved
:32:17. > :32:22.away comfortably. In to the finish on to the blue carpet. A slight
:32:22. > :32:28.left at the end and coming into the finish. Jonathan Brownlee puts his
:32:28. > :32:33.head down and climbs the cobbles in Stockholm, he will win the world
:32:33. > :32:39.triathlon series sprint event in the Swedish capital. A gutsy effort
:32:39. > :32:44.from Javier Gomez but he could not do enough. It is younger brother
:32:44. > :32:51.Jonathan's day in Sweden today. He wins the sprint distance in
:32:51. > :32:57.Stockholm, walks across the line at to break the tape in a time of
:32:57. > :33:03.54.23. Javier Gomez finishers in second. There is a sprint for third.
:33:03. > :33:10.I think it was Vincent Luis who has come through for a third, for
:33:10. > :33:16.France. An exhausted Fernando Alarza or collapses. Alexander
:33:16. > :33:26.Bryukhankov finishes in first. Jonathan Brownlee takes the sprint
:33:26. > :33:41.
:33:41. > :33:47.victory in Stockholm. Adam Bowden him. There was a protest from the
:33:48. > :33:53.Russians that was dismissed. Rightly so. Jonathan has taken the
:33:53. > :33:58.gold medal. Congratulations. A gold medal.
:33:58. > :34:04.was not sure how I would feel after the Olympics, the Olympic Hanover
:34:04. > :34:14.that everyone talks about. But I did not feel very good. It was a
:34:14. > :34:16.
:34:16. > :34:19.fast and furious race. The run was tough. I enjoyed it. It was a good
:34:19. > :34:24.course. Only two weeks after getting a bronze medal in the
:34:24. > :34:29.Olympics, I am really pleased. it feel good to beat Javier Gomez
:34:30. > :34:34.this time? It did but it was strange. Javier Gomez is normally
:34:34. > :34:38.with me, a great swimmer and biker. Today I think he had an unlucky
:34:38. > :34:43.swims. On the run, there was confusion about the direction. What
:34:43. > :34:47.was it like from your perspective? We have not seen the one course
:34:47. > :34:52.before because it is a major city and the logistics are hard to shut
:34:53. > :34:58.down roads. The first time we saw the course was today on the first
:34:58. > :35:03.lap of the run. The bike went right at one point so I followed him.
:35:03. > :35:08.When you are tied, that is what you do. The Australian coach was
:35:08. > :35:12.thinking quickly and opened up the barrier. Alexander Bryukhankov
:35:12. > :35:17.turned around and try to go back on the original course. It is unlucky
:35:17. > :35:23.for him but it is just what happens when you cannot see the course
:35:23. > :35:30.beforehand. Congratulations. Silver medal after what was a tough swim.
:35:30. > :35:34.Yes. This when was crazy. I was hit. -- beats when it was crazy. I do
:35:34. > :35:40.not know where is the limit between the normal fight in the water and
:35:40. > :35:48.when people grab you. Anyway, that was a mistake, the problem of the
:35:48. > :35:52.race. On the bike, we had to work hard to catch. We almost did it. If
:35:52. > :35:59.you want to beat Jonathan Brownlee, you cannot start running 10 seconds
:35:59. > :36:04.behind him. Congratulations. Your first world triathlon series medal.
:36:04. > :36:09.I am so proud to be on the podium today. I am back from injury and I
:36:09. > :36:16.just made the Olympics. To be on the podium, I am just 23, it is
:36:16. > :36:21.pretty good. Jonathan Brownlee gets the gold and he now stands at the
:36:21. > :36:27.top of the world rankings. The women are in the water warming up.
:36:27. > :36:31.All eyes are on Lisa Norden because she is the local Olympic heroes.
:36:31. > :36:36.She got sulphur in a dramatic photo finish in Hyde Park. I caught up
:36:36. > :36:40.with her over coffee -- she got silver. A couple of months ago, I
:36:40. > :36:45.was chatting with my coach talking about a potential scenario where I
:36:45. > :36:55.was not fit for the Olympics. Should I go as a tourist or not
:36:55. > :36:55.
:36:56. > :37:01.bother to go? I had so many hard faces, there is no chance I am
:37:01. > :37:06.going to get my body ready for the race. But things fell into place.
:37:06. > :37:10.Walking away with a medal was above all of my expectations. I was super
:37:10. > :37:15.proud of how I kept going even though I had so many battles to
:37:15. > :37:19.fight on the way. Can you take us through to the end of the race?
:37:19. > :37:25.There are so many different scenarios, how the race will pan
:37:25. > :37:31.out. You have a checklist when you go through. These women went well,
:37:31. > :37:37.no major breakaways. We overtook them and then there was a crash and
:37:37. > :37:41.lost a few goals. OK, this is a good position, where I wanted to be.
:37:41. > :37:46.I got off the bike in a good position. I was second out of
:37:46. > :37:52.transition. That was another take on my list. I could feel as
:37:52. > :37:56.dropping golds. I think we were four. On the 4th lap, I thought I
:37:56. > :38:00.had a good chance and I thought I would have to do something special
:38:00. > :38:09.and do something that I did not know if I had. I managed to find
:38:09. > :38:18.what I was looking for. Lisa Norden of Sweden takes the lead away a.
:38:18. > :38:26.Photo finish. They have been given the same time. There will be a
:38:26. > :38:32.silver for Lisa Norden. There was an appeal before the Swedish team
:38:32. > :38:39.questioned the decision. I met just before the men's race and they told
:38:39. > :38:42.me that they started the process straight after the race. Both
:38:42. > :38:45.wanted more information about how the decision was made and whether
:38:45. > :38:51.it was based on the right part of the body and how the measurements
:38:51. > :38:57.were made. I was happy to be a part of that process. When you got back
:38:57. > :39:02.from London, what was the reception like? State of the plane, I was
:39:02. > :39:12.taken by a VIP service. I did not have to pick up my bags got
:39:12. > :39:12.
:39:12. > :39:19.anything. There was a reception in the main barrier then I went and
:39:19. > :39:23.the whole town came out. There were people four or five deep alongside
:39:23. > :39:28.the canal. It was fantastic. you like the attention? I was going
:39:28. > :39:34.to get a coffee and all of the people stood up and applauded me.
:39:34. > :39:39.That was in a small town in a Sweden. The attention has been
:39:39. > :39:43.fantastic. The icing on the cake is that you get to race in your home
:39:43. > :39:48.country and it is the first time there has been a world series Bint
:39:48. > :39:52.Stockholm. You must be so excited. It is very exciting. I am very
:39:52. > :39:57.proud to have a race here and do have my competitors here and show
:39:57. > :40:01.them Stockholm and Swedish culture. That is fantastic in itself. To
:40:01. > :40:06.come here as an Olympic medallist as well is even better. Hopefully,
:40:06. > :40:10.the crowd will come out and I hope I will be able to put on a good a
:40:10. > :40:14.show for them and bring some of the Olympics back to Stockholm.
:40:14. > :40:21.There is Lisa Norden making her way to the pontoon for the start of the
:40:21. > :40:31.women's race. My producer has just suggested that I make some Abba
:40:31. > :40:34.pounds. Which of the athletes will be a super troupers? I it said, no.
:40:35. > :40:42.COMMENTATOR: the athletes are lining up on the blue pontoon ready
:40:42. > :40:52.to plunge into the revert to begin the elite women's sprint
:40:52. > :41:08.
:41:08. > :41:17.competition. -- into the river. for the elite women is under way.
:41:17. > :41:26.758m in the water, a 20 kilometre or bike ride and five kilometres
:41:26. > :41:32.run up to complete the three discipline triathlon. The Spanish
:41:32. > :41:35.athlete is forcing the pace. She has clean water and the others are
:41:35. > :41:42.scrapping for position. The swimmers have split already into
:41:42. > :41:47.two distinct groups. I had a quick sighting of Non Stanford there on
:41:47. > :41:53.the group nearest to us. We will not get a true indication of
:41:53. > :42:00.positions until we get to the first big yellow turning buoy. Non
:42:00. > :42:08.Stanford was just behind second, third and 4th in that position. It
:42:08. > :42:14.is not an easy swum. There is quite a big swell. I think the men's race,
:42:14. > :42:20.I think it played quite a part. Lisa Norden up there at the head of
:42:20. > :42:27.her group. You can see the number four on the swim hat. The other
:42:27. > :42:36.lady we shared look at his Erin Densham wearing No. 1. What a view
:42:36. > :42:46.that is looking across the island. The stunning city of Stockholm, the
:42:46. > :42:48.
:42:48. > :42:54.Swedish capital. Emma Moffatt of Australia is wearing No. 3, second
:42:54. > :43:02.in Hamburg and second in Yokohama. They will return to Yokohama, that
:43:02. > :43:06.is the next race on the 2012 calendar. I think it is a Emma
:43:06. > :43:11.Moffatt who is officially the leader in the water. But early days.
:43:11. > :43:16.They will get out and get out on to their bikes for the five laps
:43:16. > :43:20.around the Old Town, crossing from island to island, over various
:43:20. > :43:24.bridges. We saw how many tight turns there are in the men's
:43:24. > :43:30.competition and how often the riders are forced to slow on the
:43:30. > :43:34.bike. It is a technically very demanding course. There is only one
:43:34. > :43:40.hill at the end up the cobbled street and into transition. They
:43:40. > :43:46.are approaching the blue carpeted pontoon where it all began. They
:43:46. > :43:51.have got to go round the final yellow buoy. To the right of the
:43:51. > :44:01.Red buoy. Then are the steps awake for the exit of the water with the
:44:01. > :44:01.
:44:01. > :44:06.tall ships, plenty of those along at the Stockholm waterways. We are
:44:06. > :44:10.seeing a little clear water, possibly a chance of a small group
:44:10. > :44:15.breaking away. We saw how advantageous that was for the men's
:44:15. > :44:19.race. A bit of clear water behind the first six or seven swimmers.
:44:19. > :44:26.The possibility is there but the group behind are so aware of that
:44:26. > :44:32.and they will be reluctant to let any sort of gap open. The Spanish
:44:32. > :44:40.athlete is joined by a Emma Moffatt. Lisa Norden, the Olympic silver
:44:40. > :44:45.medallist is there. Erin Densham was up there as well. Now let us
:44:45. > :44:51.have a look for some of the Union Jacks to indicate where the British
:44:51. > :44:58.triathletes are at this stage. They are pretty tightly bunched, just 14
:44:59. > :45:04.seconds separating the top 15. The German is out of the water in 17th
:45:04. > :45:10.position. Yuko Takahashi is in 20th. Anna Jackson has not had the best
:45:10. > :45:15.time. She will need to make up some time on the bike. Vicky Holland is
:45:15. > :45:21.the first of the British athletes. Non Stanford is right behind her in
:45:21. > :45:31.30th position. Lisa Norden gets the applause as she arrives up the hill
:45:31. > :45:36.
:45:36. > :45:45.helm it goes on, the issues are already attached, strapped on to
:45:45. > :45:50.the pedals. Lisa Norden is in the lead group. Lois Rosindale has come
:45:50. > :45:56.out of the water in about 40 of position. They have come over a
:45:56. > :46:03.white, mount up line. They are on their bikes, and making their way
:46:03. > :46:08.out on to the first lap. Well, the possibility of that small group
:46:08. > :46:13.getting away. Emma Moffatt seemed to have a few difficulties getting
:46:13. > :46:23.out of transition. This can make a big difference in a sprint distance
:46:23. > :46:24.
:46:24. > :46:29.event. Out in front, forcing the pace at this stage, and the current
:46:29. > :46:33.triathletes who are one of Sweden. She was awarded the silver medal,
:46:33. > :46:39.but the whole of Sweden was convinced it should have been a
:46:39. > :46:49.gold. She is back. Nicola Spirig is absent today, and Lisa Norden leads
:46:49. > :46:52.
:46:52. > :47:02.the way. Growth of a four out in front, three more are five or six
:47:02. > :47:04.
:47:04. > :47:12.seconds behind. -- group of four. Barbara Riveros Diaz is in there as
:47:12. > :47:16.well. This could be interesting. If the growth of a four changes to
:47:16. > :47:22.seven, it is small enough to be able to get away, but not so big
:47:22. > :47:26.people are jostling for position all the time. A group of seven away
:47:26. > :47:32.at this stage could be one of the real dynamics of the race. We saw
:47:32. > :47:42.the men race close up in the last couple of laps. But every race is
:47:42. > :47:44.
:47:44. > :47:50.individual. These are the leaders. A group of seven, led at this stage
:47:50. > :47:55.by the Australian. The leaders are about to complete the first of
:47:55. > :48:05.their five laps. Incredible noise in the area as the crowd cheer for
:48:05. > :48:07.
:48:07. > :48:16.Lisa Norden. Anja Knapp, number 32 is in third. The leading seven are
:48:16. > :48:21.closely followed by the next group. Vicky Holland is in the chase group.
:48:21. > :48:30.Dream scenario for Lisa Norden coming through. Every time she
:48:30. > :48:35.comes through this crowd, she is going to be lifted so hired by the
:48:35. > :48:44.crowd. That is going to give her the incentive to stay at the front,
:48:45. > :48:51.work hard. She has everything to go for a here. These are the leaders,
:48:51. > :48:56.and we are about to see one at large lead group form. Barbara
:48:56. > :49:02.Riveros Diaz is pushing the pace at the front. She finished third in
:49:02. > :49:06.Madrid earlier this year. She was the winner of this sprint distance
:49:06. > :49:12.winner was a world championship event last August. That is becoming
:49:12. > :49:16.a huge group now and it changes the dynamics of the race. And it makes
:49:16. > :49:23.for a potentially hazardous cycling when they get to these hairpin
:49:23. > :49:31.bends. Every single time that we get one of the turns, that lead
:49:31. > :49:36.group almost have to go single line. Particularly with a 180 degree turn.
:49:36. > :49:46.They're getting into single line, almost for safety. They could find
:49:46. > :49:47.
:49:47. > :49:51.themselves at risk at the back if someone decides to make a sprint.
:49:51. > :49:59.Lisa Norden, once again receiving this rapturous welcome in
:49:59. > :50:05.transition. That is an interesting place for an afternoon nap! When
:50:05. > :50:10.the clock strikes, they will get a rude awakening. With the leaders,
:50:10. > :50:14.the group of 12 who have moved away from the chase group. They have
:50:14. > :50:21.established a little bit of breathing room. They include Lisa
:50:21. > :50:29.Norden, the home favourite. They include Erin Densham, the
:50:29. > :50:37.Australian. I am with the British triathlon coach. There has been a
:50:37. > :50:43.split. It was pretty dynamic. Per a lot of hard racing. The girls at
:50:43. > :50:49.front are keeping a high pace. The pressure of that peace has put a
:50:49. > :50:53.lot of pressure and the front group has gone away again. The gap is
:50:53. > :51:02.highest it has been throughout the race. How do you think the British
:51:02. > :51:08.are doing? Vicky Holland looks like she is suffering a bit. The crowd
:51:08. > :51:12.can sense there will get another glimpse of Lisa Norden of Sweden as
:51:12. > :51:18.she comes through. She will be passing in front of them, in the
:51:18. > :51:24.lead again. Lisa has realised she get such a big lift from the crowd.
:51:24. > :51:29.Every time she has come through she has been if not in the lead, it in
:51:29. > :51:34.second or third place. This is when the planning starts, with one-lap
:51:34. > :51:40.to go on about. They will be thinking about positions. Thing
:51:40. > :51:45.need to get at the front, they need it open space. It is lovely to see
:51:45. > :51:50.Non Stanford up there. Vicky Holland also, this is good news for
:51:50. > :51:59.Great Britain. Non Stanford and Vicky Holland in with every single
:51:59. > :52:06.chance. Rebecca Robisch of Germany just off the back of that group.
:52:06. > :52:11.Another hairpin to deal with. Barbara Riveros Diaz, she is
:52:11. > :52:15.showing the way at the front of the group. Look how close the chasing

:52:21. > :52:27.transition for the last time. important to try and get a good
:52:27. > :52:32.position in the lead group. If you are in a group of 25-30, at the
:52:32. > :52:38.back, you are restricted. Particularly going up and held to
:52:38. > :52:47.transitions. You could lose ten-15 seconds by not having a good
:52:47. > :52:56.position going into transition. stream of 20 or so coming round at
:52:56. > :53:01.last hairpin bend. A group of three are just off the back. And that is
:53:01. > :53:06.where the real damage has been done to get that essential position. As
:53:06. > :53:15.they come through now it is just a couple of hundred yards. Then the
:53:15. > :53:21.sharp, left turn. Into transition we start seeing the preparations.
:53:21. > :53:25.Getting feet out of shoes, a little bit of slowing down. Lisa Norden in
:53:25. > :53:31.his first off her bike. She means business here and she leaves them
:53:31. > :53:41.through as they come off the cobbles. She is followed by Barbara
:53:41. > :53:56.
:53:56. > :54:01.well done, Vicky. Just a few seconds down. Lisa Norden leads
:54:01. > :54:10.them out, she led them in and she leave them out of transition. To a
:54:10. > :54:17.wall of noise. Vicky Holland and Non Stanford are in contention as
:54:17. > :54:21.they begin the five-kilometre run. It is a Lisa Norden who leads,
:54:21. > :54:25.Barbara Riveros Diaz is at the front of the field. We cannot
:54:25. > :54:32.forget that Lisa Norden did so much of the work at the front, the crowd
:54:32. > :54:39.really lifted her. Something has gone wrong for the New Zealand
:54:39. > :54:44.competitor. Poor Kate. It must be an injury. She would not dropped
:54:44. > :54:54.out for anything other than a serious reason. I think her race is
:54:54. > :55:01.run. Lisa Norden has kicked clear. Cue a crescendo of noise as she
:55:01. > :55:07.heads back towards the palace with transition after this out and back.
:55:07. > :55:12.She will head towards transition with the first lap almost complete.
:55:12. > :55:17.2.5 kilometres remain after she crosses the blue carpets. The crowd
:55:17. > :55:24.have not seen it yet, but they will know when they see her that she is
:55:24. > :55:31.out in front on her own. Erin Densham currently in third. And the
:55:31. > :55:38.racer who has closed herd down is one of the Dutch triathletes. --
:55:38. > :55:43.closed her down. Lisa Norden leads the way. In Stockholm, in her home
:55:43. > :55:48.country she will climb up into this and be theatre in front of the
:55:48. > :55:53.royal palace to get a royal welcome from of the crowd. She has 2.5
:55:53. > :56:02.kilometres to run to keep up the pressure. In second place Barbara
:56:02. > :56:09.Riveros Diaz. In third place and Maaike Caelers. She has gone past
:56:09. > :56:13.Erin Densham. She looks absolutely full of running. Lisa Norden takes
:56:13. > :56:21.the bell and heads off on her second lap around the streets of
:56:21. > :56:28.Stockholm. Non Stanford is up there as well. A great performance from
:56:28. > :56:34.Non Stanford, what a breakthrough. For Lisa Norden extend her lead at
:56:34. > :56:41.the front of the field. This is what the Swedish supporters have
:56:41. > :56:47.come to see. Maaike Caelers of the Netherlands has a chance of moving
:56:47. > :56:53.past Barbara Riveros Diaz and into second position out right. That is
:56:53. > :56:58.a significant lead for Lisa Norden. Second and third, Maaike Caelers of
:56:58. > :57:04.the Netherlands and Barbara Riveros Diaz from chilly. All they can see
:57:04. > :57:14.is the blue and yellow of Lisa Norden are moving away from them.
:57:14. > :57:19.And they know she has got a sprint finish. Lisa Norden, second behind
:57:19. > :57:24.Nicola Spirig in the Olympic Games. This is a race that will matter a
:57:24. > :57:29.huge amount to her. The noise levels are deafening. She can
:57:29. > :57:35.afford a smile as she glances over her left shoulder to see that of
:57:35. > :57:40.the gap to Maaike Caelers is insurmountable. She can climb on to
:57:40. > :57:46.the cobbled streets in front of the royal palace in the capital of
:57:46. > :57:54.Sweden to bring home an eagerly anticipated victory. Wonderful
:57:54. > :57:59.scenes in the Swedish capital as Lisa Norden it brings a home her
:57:59. > :58:04.first a ITU World Triathlon series when of the season. Time to stop
:58:04. > :58:14.and collect the blue and yellow flag of Sweden and to cap it a
:58:14. > :58:22.glorious victory. Just over an hour. Lisa Norden wins the Stockholm
:58:22. > :58:27.world triathlon sprint event! Well come home, what a finish. What a
:58:27. > :58:31.great run from her. And a superb performance as well for Maaike
:58:31. > :58:36.Caelers of the Netherlands who broke free of Barbara Riveros Diaz
:58:36. > :58:44.to take that second position. Barbara Riveros Diaz finishing in
:58:44. > :58:49.the third. Anne Haug finishes best for the German and it is fifth
:58:49. > :58:55.today for the Olympic bronze medallist Erin Densham. It looks as
:58:55. > :59:01.if it might be Non Stanford finishing next for Great Britain.
:59:01. > :59:07.It is. She registers a personal best in sixth positions.
:59:07. > :59:13.Congratulations. That has got to be your best result? It is my best
:59:13. > :59:18.result to date. I was really worried coming on to the run, I to
:59:18. > :59:25.get steady going up the hill. Then I felt myself moving through and
:59:25. > :59:30.felt quite strong. I thought, hold on for top ten. Nobody came past me
:59:30. > :59:37.and I was closing in on the girls in front. I was really shocked, it
:59:37. > :59:42.could not have been better. Lisa Norden wins on home soil in at
:59:42. > :59:47.Stockholm ahead of Maaike Caelers was Barbara Riveros Diaz in third.
:59:47. > :59:57.A great result for Non Stanford who finished sixth, the Vicky Holland
:59:57. > :00:00.
:00:00. > :00:07.was 18th and Lois Rosindale to do a fairy-tale story, this
:00:07. > :00:13.would be the one. To get a silver medal and race in my home town, I
:00:13. > :00:18.could not be more happy. What a way to thank you supporters. There are
:00:18. > :00:22.no tactics, it is giving everything you have. I enjoyed every moment of
:00:22. > :00:28.it. Everyone has been talking about how tough and technical the course
:00:28. > :00:32.was. How did you find it on the bright? Yes, it was very tough. I
:00:32. > :00:42.was happy it was not raining. It would have been dangerous with the
:00:42. > :00:43.
:00:43. > :00:49.white stripes and corners and a cobbled stones. The Hill was a bit
:00:49. > :00:54.hard. For me it was good. Congratulations. You showed why you
:00:54. > :01:00.love the sprint distance. Thank you very much. I love the sprint
:01:00. > :01:06.distance and the course was really nice. Really technical and
:01:06. > :01:11.challenging. Very aggressive race. This is very good for the crowd and
:01:11. > :01:14.the spectators and the sport. We are very happy to be here.
:01:14. > :01:20.What a way for Lisa Norden to return home after the silver medal
:01:20. > :01:24.in the Olympics. She comes to Stockholm and takes the gold.
:01:24. > :01:30.Lisa Norden got the fairy-tale ending she had been hoping for.
:01:30. > :01:38.That is it for the individual races. Next up, Yokohama, before the final
:01:38. > :01:42.showdown in Auckland. But there is one more event to come
:01:42. > :01:49.in Stockholm, the next relay world championships, which promises to be
:01:49. > :01:56.fast and furious. -- mixed relay. Each team is made up of two women
:01:56. > :02:06.and two wimps. 300m as when, six kilometres on the bike and a two
:02:06. > :02:09.
:02:10. > :02:14.kilometres run. -- two women and two men. We like to think we are
:02:14. > :02:19.not quite the dream team of last year, but we will do a really good
:02:19. > :02:26.job of trying to live up to their standards. Trying to think up a
:02:26. > :02:31.good team name. Maybe the Pretenders. I was jealous to not be
:02:31. > :02:35.their last year. I think we have got a really good chance of winning.
:02:35. > :02:42.The first thing that comes into my mind about Vicky Holland is that
:02:42. > :02:48.she is crazy. She is really funny. William Clarke, another good all-
:02:48. > :02:54.round triathlete which is what you need. He is very fast on the track.
:02:54. > :03:02.He is always having a laugh and joking. He is entertaining always.
:03:02. > :03:07.Non Stanford, she came from running. Sears had perfectly. She is more
:03:07. > :03:13.ditzy than me so takes the shine off me when I do something stupid.
:03:13. > :03:22.One to watch. I think John a looks like a seagull. Jonny Brownlee is
:03:22. > :03:27.probably more competitive than Alistair Brownlee. It is a history
:03:27. > :03:35.buff. I think we have got four or round triathletes and a good chance.
:03:35. > :03:40.The team last year was obviously very good. Even then, we only just
:03:40. > :03:43.one. The order is important. would like to see it off last but
:03:43. > :03:48.Jonny Brownlee would probably be the best at that. If it comes down
:03:48. > :03:54.to a sprint, I think he has got the best chance. I think there is a bit
:03:54. > :04:01.of concern about the running and diving. I am a bit concerned about
:04:01. > :04:06.over rotating or something like that. I have been to go for less of
:04:06. > :04:11.the Tom Daley entry. A couple of teams are wants to watch. France
:04:11. > :04:17.and Germany will be the hardest to beat. I hope we can do it. It is a
:04:17. > :04:20.funny time three weeks after the Games. Anything can happen. As if
:04:20. > :04:24.relays were not exciting enough, the weather has decided to play a
:04:24. > :04:28.part and add drama. Thunderstorms meant to the athletes had to take
:04:28. > :04:34.shelter and wait for a new start time. As you can see, we are back
:04:34. > :04:42.in business. It is time to see if the new team can keep mixed relay
:04:42. > :04:47.glory in Britain. The commentators are looking forward to this one.
:04:47. > :04:55.COMMENTATOR: the athletes are coming onto the pontoon. Four
:04:55. > :04:59.athletes permission. Great Britain as the defending champions. Vicky
:04:59. > :05:09.Holland will get things under way for Great Britain. She will hand
:05:09. > :05:09.
:05:09. > :05:13.over to William Clarke who will pass to Non Stanford Court. -- Non
:05:13. > :05:23.Stanford. Jonny Brownlee will take care of the anchor leg. They are
:05:23. > :05:29.
:05:29. > :05:33.let loose into the river. A 300m, followed by a six, despite wide and
:05:34. > :05:39.a four kilometres run. They do a mini triathlon each before passing
:05:39. > :05:42.on to the next competitor in the team. There are two British teams
:05:42. > :05:48.involved. The weather conditions have improved quite markedly in the
:05:48. > :05:54.last 10 minutes. They have. It is going to be tough out there. The
:05:54. > :06:01.rain is still on the ground. They are 14 turns on each of the bike
:06:01. > :06:06.laps, two laps. It is interesting the way the teams have chosen their
:06:06. > :06:08.first athletes. I am looking particularly at Lisa Norden of
:06:08. > :06:14.Sweden. She won yesterday. You would have thought possibly they
:06:14. > :06:23.would have left her to third. But it is essential, absolutely
:06:23. > :06:31.essential that the teams get a good swimmer led. Lisa Norden has the
:06:31. > :06:34.best swimming. -- swim leg. We will keep an eye on the standings as
:06:34. > :06:39.they come through. They have transponders on their ankles which
:06:39. > :06:45.should give us computer graphics. We have not got that yet. The
:06:45. > :06:48.weather is playing havoc. Here it comes. Hungary come place this one
:06:48. > :06:58.in exactly four minutes. Followed by Lisa Norden. The Brazilian bird,
:06:58. > :07:02.
:07:02. > :07:12.Russian 4th. -- the Brazilian in a -- in the third. Great Britain
:07:12. > :07:15.
:07:15. > :07:20.coming out in 14th. The second British team follow closely. Katie
:07:20. > :07:26.Hewison shoulder to shoulder coming up the steps. Good to see Lisa
:07:26. > :07:31.Norden the winner of yesterday's race up there. They very, very good
:07:31. > :07:38.performance by Katie Hewison for Great Britain. She has come through
:07:38. > :07:48.very recently. When of the Canary Wharf triathlon area this year.
:07:48. > :07:49.
:07:49. > :07:59.can see the marshals at the back of the shot bedding the riders to slow
:07:59. > :07:59.
:07:59. > :08:04.We have got a rider down! I was worried about the speed they were
:08:04. > :08:09.going. She hit the carpet. Thankfully, she landed on the
:08:10. > :08:19.carpet. There might be a bit less damage done. That was Katie Hewison.
:08:19. > :08:25.We talked about her great some. She went night passed Lisa Norden -- a
:08:26. > :08:34.great swim. What a fabulously great performance but it has not worked
:08:34. > :08:44.at. Here it is again. She skidded and had some cobblestones and
:08:44. > :08:52.carpet. First up is the German, followed by it France. Vicky
:08:52. > :08:57.Holland is right in their. We will try to get an idea of the position
:08:57. > :09:03.that Katie Hewison has managed to salvage. Now they set off on the
:09:03. > :09:13.final stage, the runner, mainly on the cobbles of the old city of
:09:13. > :09:16.
:09:16. > :09:21.stucco. -- de stucco. Realistically, Sweden do not have much are they
:09:21. > :09:31.hope today. The first of the men are lined up on the pontoon ready
:09:31. > :09:34.
:09:34. > :09:44.to be attacked. Lisa Norden is about to hand over. A tremendous
:09:44. > :09:45.
:09:45. > :09:53.performance by Lisa Norden. Lisa Norden handed over to her team-mate,
:09:53. > :09:58.ready to dive into the river and this when his 300m first leg. The
:09:59. > :10:04.others anxiously waiting for the handover. Closest to us, William
:10:04. > :10:13.Clarke, waiting for Vicky Holland. I think he has seen her! There is
:10:13. > :10:19.the touch, William Clarke is away. They are well on their way on the
:10:19. > :10:26.second leg. Sweden is leading. Benevolence are in second place. We
:10:26. > :10:34.think William Clarke is down in about 12th position. The sweet has
:10:34. > :10:41.done well to keep himself out in front. He will be first out of the
:10:41. > :10:46.water. A fairly loose group of 16 to 18 athletes coming out. The
:10:46. > :10:50.first leg is so important. The Swede had open-water and has
:10:50. > :10:57.managed to stay in front. Now he will be in the situation in the
:10:57. > :11:04.leader Biteback which will make such a huge difference. -- in the
:11:04. > :11:14.leading bike pack. Great Britain one officially in 13th position
:11:14. > :11:14.
:11:14. > :11:20.coming out of the water. Bit early lead for Sweden. They have done
:11:20. > :11:30.well. -- the early lead. A group of about a dozen could form at the
:11:30. > :11:30.
:11:30. > :11:36.front of the field. William Clarke seems to have had a better
:11:36. > :11:40.transition and he is well on his way. The rain is intensifying again.
:11:40. > :11:47.It is off for the first 20 minutes of the next relay but now it is
:11:47. > :11:57.back with a vengeance. The riders are struggling with visibility.
:11:57. > :12:03.
:12:03. > :12:07.Tony merely of France leads at this stage. -- Tony. Just in front, I
:12:07. > :12:13.think I've just spotted a William Clarke. That group is just 13
:12:13. > :12:18.seconds behind and closing all the time. Down to 10 seconds now.
:12:18. > :12:25.William Clarke will hand over to Non Stanford. She will be next to
:12:25. > :12:30.go for GB one. A member of the Swansea Harriers, 23-year-old, had
:12:30. > :12:34.a personal best performance yesterday when she came in sixth
:12:34. > :12:44.position in the individual sprint. Coming into transition at the end
:12:44. > :12:50.
:12:50. > :13:00.of the bite stage. Two kilometres to run. Heading out for the run.
:13:00. > :13:18.
:13:18. > :13:25.France and Italy are putting down a devastated faster I got so excited
:13:25. > :13:35.that I was in the front pack, I am normally chasing, I came round the
:13:35. > :13:35.
:13:35. > :13:44.corner too fast. It was so slippy. I was summer -- somersaulting. No
:13:44. > :13:48.damage done, only pride. How do you think it will go crisper I just
:13:48. > :13:54.sold -- how do you think it will go? Hopefully William Clarke will
:13:54. > :14:00.be right up there. COMMENTATOR: William Clarke we
:14:00. > :14:10.think is in the 6th place. A good performance. The leaders in a
:14:10. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:37.moment are Italy. They have had a Spain. Non Stanford is next, under
:14:37. > :14:42.20 seconds to make up. This is good. Non Stanford was only 20 seconds
:14:42. > :14:48.off the leader's pace yesterday. Strong possibility she could close
:14:48. > :14:56.that. Carole Peon has now taken it up for France. We do have a bit of
:14:56. > :15:00.a time gaps, perhaps 12, 15 seconds after the first four swimmers. Why
:15:00. > :15:10.is Non Stanford? It will be absolutely crucial. I think Non
:15:10. > :15:29.
:15:29. > :15:35.blasting through the field to lead the way. She has moved up into
:15:35. > :15:43.first position. Out of nowhere, what a swim from her Exmouth Italy
:15:43. > :15:50.paid the price there. Annamaria Mazzetti not able to maintain that
:15:50. > :15:56.position at the front. The first two leaders coming through. Germany
:15:56. > :15:59.into third place. Italy managed to hold on to that fourth place. What
:15:59. > :16:06.is the time difference before we see great Britain emerge from the
:16:06. > :16:13.water? Great Britain officially sixth out of the water, 19 seconds
:16:13. > :16:21.off the pace. How is it out there? A we caught up in quite a few
:16:21. > :16:25.places. Pretty happy, I felt to descend and tried my best. That is
:16:25. > :16:35.all you can ask. We have two great athletes coming up, one amazing
:16:35. > :16:41.
:16:41. > :16:50.as the second group arrive. I think that might be Non Stanford. I am
:16:50. > :16:56.pretty sure one of those was Non Stanford for Great Britain. As Anne
:16:56. > :17:01.Haug takes it upon herself to set up a lead. She knows she must give
:17:01. > :17:08.some sort of -- gain some sort of advantage if Germany are to get
:17:08. > :17:18.this title. There is Non Stanford for Great Britain. She has dropped
:17:18. > :17:19.
:17:19. > :17:26.back, but she is about to pass the French are female. If she can join
:17:26. > :17:31.Rebecca Robisch, they will be pushing for a second position.
:17:31. > :17:38.Dismounts just before the line. Has to run barefoot on the tarmac, the
:17:38. > :17:47.carpets starts now. She looks for her position in transition. Anne
:17:48. > :17:54.Haug with a brilliant cycling transition. 11 seconds until next
:17:54. > :17:59.arrival in transition. No problems for Anne Haug so far. A way she
:17:59. > :18:06.goes. Non Stanford is coming in with Rebecca Robisch. There are
:18:06. > :18:11.four of them together, just about equal second position. A great
:18:11. > :18:16.opportunity for Non Stanford to show she belongs at the top of
:18:16. > :18:20.world competition. She had a great performance in Sydney, she was
:18:20. > :18:25.tremendous yesterday and now she is forcing herself into contention in
:18:25. > :18:33.the swim and more so in about discipline. We now come to the
:18:33. > :18:41.final discipline. She has just passed Rebecca Robisch. She is in
:18:41. > :18:50.second position out right for Great Britain. Anne Haug for Germany, she
:18:50. > :18:55.is way out in front. Stefan ran slower than Jonathan Brownlee
:18:55. > :19:01.yesterday over five kilometres. If Jonathan Brownlee has the 30
:19:01. > :19:06.seconds or less, he is going to be in contention. Ready for the third
:19:06. > :19:14.and final exchange. Anne Haug has raced brilliantly and arrives at
:19:14. > :19:20.the pontoon first to handover to Steffan Justus. Jonathan Brownlee
:19:20. > :19:25.is wearing number one, keeping his legs moving waiting for the arrival.
:19:25. > :19:32.He is waiting for the arrival of Non Stanford. He knows he has work
:19:32. > :19:36.to do. He is keeping his goggles clear of mist. Here comes Non
:19:36. > :19:45.Stanford with a brilliant performance. She hands over to
:19:45. > :19:52.Jonathan Brownlee who sets off after Steffan Justus. Bryan Lee
:19:52. > :19:57.leaps off spectacularly into the river. -- Jonathan Brownlee. He has
:19:57. > :20:03.300 metres to try and catch Steffan Justus in the water. Very difficult

:20:18. > :20:27.the relay events. It was 28 seconds on the change. 28 seconds, I think

:20:31. > :20:38.Jonathan Brownlee seems to have made huge inroads on that. He is
:20:38. > :20:48.the better swimmer, but Stefan Eustace is already out of the water.
:20:48. > :21:04.
:21:04. > :21:14.-- Stefan justice. The lead has up. The conclusion that we can make
:21:14. > :21:15.
:21:15. > :21:25.is that it is winnable for Jonathan Brownlee. Stefan that justice has

:22:01. > :22:06.German begins his first of two down! It did not start well for the
:22:06. > :22:12.German and that might be the end of his challenge. He will be overtaken
:22:12. > :22:19.before he gets back into the saddle. Jonathan Brownlee has steamed past
:22:19. > :22:28.the German. Down he went, skidding across from one side of the road to
:22:28. > :22:33.the other. Jonathan Brownlee in second place with Vincent Luis just
:22:33. > :22:39.leading. Coming very swiftly towards the end of lap a number one
:22:39. > :22:49.on the bike. Up the hill. Is this where Jonathan Brownlee makes his
:22:49. > :22:51.
:22:51. > :23:01.move? This third man is the Russian. Alexander Bryukhankov has put
:23:01. > :23:04.
:23:04. > :23:11.himself into the running again. They have a hairpin to deal with
:23:11. > :23:19.next. Here it is, and their lead over Alexander Bryukhankov is 11
:23:19. > :23:25.seconds. They will be happy to get off their bikes in this torrential
:23:25. > :23:32.downpour. Jonathan Brownlee make sure he steps off before the
:23:32. > :23:39.dismount line, it was his Achilles heel at the Olympics. He is looking
:23:39. > :23:49.for his parking spot. Then son Louis and Jonathan Brownlee is our

:23:56. > :24:03.behind. Jonathan Brownlee freewheeled down the cobbles
:24:03. > :24:09.towards the water before heading right on this first lap of two. One
:24:09. > :24:17.kilometre to start. Can Jonathan Brownlee bring it home for Great
:24:17. > :24:24.Britain? We are seeing a little bit of free space. The Vincent Luis
:24:24. > :24:32.will not given us. He certainly will not give in. A quarter of the
:24:32. > :24:40.distance gone already. Alexander Bryukhankov heads back towards
:24:40. > :24:45.transition. He will complete his first lap of two. Jonathan Brownlee
:24:46. > :24:53.has a little bit of company, but it is only the lapped runners. He
:24:53. > :25:00.comes through the hairpin again. Vincent Luis follows him round. He
:25:00. > :25:08.is in second position. It is Alexander Bryukhankov who is the
:25:08. > :25:13.third. Jonathan Brownlee looking as strong as ever. He must know now

:26:30. > :26:37.are tired, so it was a case of doing what we can. You really took

:26:43. > :26:49.a cool head. I kept thinking, every second counts. I had to be careful
